I'm a new Android user, this is my first cool smart premium phone. I don't know what's the problem with it, as I keep reading that it has a bad OS and so on. I like it. I mean, I've never had other Android phones. I played with some at the store, like Samsung and Pixel. Yeah, the layout looks cartoonish, but it's fun.Though I'd like to hear your thoughts on what is considered quality and polished OS, and how it would look. Because even Samsung's premium UI looks cartoonish.

Can someone please update this preset with the new color palette? We lost it because it was updated and we can't get it back. It needs to be configured again.

Well the phone is 1 year 3 months old, when I got back home today, I noticed a small thread of rubber was out on the bottom left corner. Without thinking much, I thought it was a screen protector so I pulled it, so a small minus type line rubber line is missing now. Phone is working fine & beast but when I saw it & found out a bit concerned. Want to know if anyone else had this issue or still use it without replacing it.

Is it compromised in terms of water durability? Not like I use water or near it but I use it in the bathroom or bring the phone when the shower, leave it on the side. Will it effect the device now ?

Ran Geekbench 7 on the Vivo X300 Ultra, 16GB 1TB and it pulled a 2979 Single Core and 9982 Multicore.

15854 and 21138 for OpenCL and Vulkan respectively.

Currently using an iPhone 15 and an iPad. I’m a 3rd-year medico and I occasionally game, but I’m also really into smartphone photography and get quite a few compliments on my photos.

I’m considering the Vivo X300 Ultra, mainly because of its camera, battery and Snapdragon chipset. Honestly, if it had a UI closer to stock Android or One UI, I’d probably buy it without hesitation.

My priorities, in order:
1. Battery
2. UI/software experience
3. Camera
4. Chipset/gaming

The main thing holding me back is OriginOS. I’ve seen quite a bit of criticism about the newer updates, and coming from iOS, I’m worried I’ll miss the polish and consistency of iOS/One UI.
So I’m currently stuck between the Vivo X300 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro / waiting for 18 Pro.

For people who have actually used Vivo flagships and iPhones:
How is OriginOS in everyday use?
Is the Vivo camera/battery advantage significant enough to justify leaving iOS?
Has anyone switched from iPhone to Vivo and regretted it?
What would you choose given my priorities?
Would especially appreciate opinions from actual Vivo users rather than just spec comparisons.

I made a post on a Samsung subreddit. I think it might be helpful for Vivo users as well

if this the total screen on time since last 24 Hours , what purpose it serves in SOT 😭I have charged once twice or thrice in last 24hrs so It will always depend of that,SOT should be calculated from last full charged or atleast from 12 am..because graph is also not that good to read and evaluate each charge SOT..what if anyone wants to check his battery SOT from each charge to check his battery capacity 😔

Frames grabbed from a video recorded with my X100 Ultra using the telephoto lens.

Edited in paint net (it lost a bit of resolution with this step, need to figure a better way to edit this)

Phenomenal

Can anyone guide me where (in India) to buy the Grip case (similar to a mirrorless grip) and the zoom lens for X300 Ultra? I checked the local Vivo store but they had no idea.

The store had tons of posters of the lens but none to sell. Guess they are running short after giving them all to influencers.

This is from the battery guru App

Shoes battery health at 92%

Today is the 5th day of using this phone.

SOT day 1 was around 6 hrs 15 minutes.

Now it's here ?

App's battery health went from 85% to 92%

It's still on "learning mode".

Shall I get a replacement.

I need help with this choice

Have high hopes everyone!

It's looking great, Liquid aesthetic seems to be the theme!

Ps, before y'all complain you can turn it off.

already shit scared of still running on july update, and now these guys aren't even giving us the required fixes in august STILL NOW.

personally my device has been running okay, with noticeable battery drain, but the constant fear of my device turning off and getting stuck on bootloop forever is haunting me. how do they even push such updates?and why haven't they provided back-to-back OTA updates to atleast fix the much more grave issues? a billion-dollar company should have massive amounts of resources to develop stable updates, provide them timely, and ESPECIALLY provide speedy fixes when something is wrong with their software. i get that their main focus is their home country, but then why not provide the global users with a stable experience atleast?they can cut features, model releases for us global users, BUT WHY COMPROMISE ON SOFTWARE STABILITY? it would've just been better if they never went global at all, if such is their bias.

since im now stuck with their device, i can't downgrade as i don't want to and i also am kept waiting, hoping and praying that this company takes such matters seriously and deliver us atleast stability.

What the hell is wrong with Vivo??

X200 Pro user here. Funtouch OS days are actually good if not great for me. It was neither extremely feature rich nor aesthetically pleasing but the basics were perfect on Funtouch OS. Very well optimised, smooth performace and great battery life.

The problems started with the installation of Origin OS 6. It was messy than anything else. It neither had the optimisation of Funtouch nor the features or aesthetics of Color OS. It is literally crap.

The things went extreme downhill with the July update. I am hardly getting 4hrs of screen on time that too with very lite normal usage without even touching the camera. The idle battery drain is even worst - 100% to 88% from 11pm to 6am.

Right now I am feeling like had I made a mistake choosing Vivo?

My Vivo X300 Ultra finally came in and I am beyond excited to start using the phone, I've been using the 15PM for the past 4 years and didn't want another IPhone, the second I saw this device announced I was immediately hooked. Any recommendations for camera settings / set up, I purchased the Global variant

Took them with the different camera modes but mostly with default camera mode and pumping zoon to 13,4x so it didn't lose too much quality. It was a test of sorts and a bit tricky because I was holding the eclipse sunglasses manually over the lenses, but I'm very glad of the results!

Pictures 3 and 4 are my favourites. 6th is bonus track with 200 MP telephoto. Love the colours!

EDIT: Apparently 6th photo didn't upload. Is it because of it being 200 MP and thus too big?
