The iPhone has been held as the benchmark for phone video recording for as long as I can remember. And the assumption isn’t baseless. Since the early iPhones, Apple has consistently delivered high video quality, which most Android flagships have failed to match. However, with Chinese brands’ recent push toward premiumization, we’re seeing some impressive camera choices that could potentially dethrone the iPhone. Among these elite choices is the vivo X300 Pro, which carries ZEISS’ pedigree and has repeatedly been hailed for its ability to replace a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
The vivo X300 Pro easily earns a spot among the best phones for photography. While I trust it to meet my expectations with stills, its video chops truly took me by surprise. I feel it can finally surpass Apple, so I decided to put the two phones through an intense competition to determine whether vivo actually beats the iPhone, and the results are quite fascinating.
