On May 13th, the blue factory finally officially released the "super cup" product vivo X100 Ultra, which is the so-called "Thanos" that has been rumored in the circle. I believe that many friends are like me, very interested in this product, let's take a look, vivo X100 Ultra in terms of image upgrades? And why is it called "Thanos"?

1 Ultra-professional flagship image module

First of all, let's take a look at the hardware configuration of vivo X100 Ultra in terms of imaging this time, as "Thanos", it is natural to be fully full.

One-inch gimbal-level main camera

First of all, the vivo X100 Ultra is equipped with an advanced LYT-900 sensor, which is the core of its main camera configuration, with a 23mm-equivalent focal length, up to 50 million pixels of resolution, and a wide aperture of f/1.75. In addition, the LYT-900's large 1-inch sensor area, coupled with the high-end 1G+7P LISA lens structure, not only improves optical performance, but also incorporates the industry's industry-leading precision leap technology and enhanced large-range OIS optical image stabilization system to ensure fine details and vivid colors even in low-light conditions.

Compared to the Sony IMX989, the LYT-900 represents a major leap forward in the process from the 40nm process to the more advanced 22nm process, which is in sync with the evolution of mobile phone processors, which not only significantly reduces energy consumption, but also means that more transistors can be integrated into the sensor, thereby improving overall performance and image processing capabilities, and bringing users an unprecedented image experience.

ZEISS 200 million APO super telephoto

The telephoto lens is one of the core advantages of the vivo X100 Ultra, the Zeiss-certified 200 million pixel APO super telephoto lens debuts the new Sensor HP9 sensor, with a focal length of 85mm, giving the photo a natural sense of perspective and depth of field, and the large aperture of f/2.67 ensures sufficient light intake, even in low-light telephoto shooting can maintain the image bright, full of details.

It is worth mentioning that the sensor size of HP9 reaches 1/1.4 inch, coupled with the application of advanced AOA (Advanced Optical Alignment) process, which significantly enhances the optical quality of the lens, reduces optical deviation, and ensures a balanced and consistent image quality from center to edge.

It is worth mentioning that this telephoto lens uses a fluorite-grade glass lens FCD100, which is a high refractive index optical material that is commonly used in high-end camera lenses, which is able to provide sharper imaging and better color reproduction. With the addition of ZEISS T* coating, it is possible to reduce the reflection and flare of the lens, and improve the contrast and clarity of the image.

Ultra-low distortion ultra-wide camera

The ultra-wide-angle lens is often used to pursue the ultimate visual shock, vivo X100 Ultra is equipped with Sony's LYT-600 ultra-wide-angle lens with an ultra-wide focal length of 14mm as the core, with a 50 million high-pixel sensor, and a large aperture design of f/2.2, which not only ensures sufficient light capture, making night scenes and low-light environments equally easy to shoot, but also provides more possibilities for creative bokeh effects, so that every photo exudes a cinematic atmosphere.

In particular, the LYT-600's 116° ultra-wide viewing angle, combined with its ultra-low distortion characteristics, can accurately and realistically record both the vast natural scenery and the bustling city streetscape. The barrel distortion common with conventional ultra-wide-angle lenses is excellently controlled, ensuring that the straight lines of the buildings are not distorted, and the skyline is flat and extended, so that every detail can be presented in the most natural state, providing unprecedented creative space for landscape photographers and urban explorers.

Blueprint Image Chip V3+

In addition to the three high-quality lenses, vivo also embeds a Blueprint image chip V3+ in the X100 Ultra, which has achieved a significant improvement in energy efficiency ratio of 30% by using advanced 6nm process technology, which means that while providing powerful image processing capabilities, it can also effectively reduce power consumption and extend the use time of the device. This not only represents a breakthrough in mobile imaging technology, but also opens up an unprecedented video creation experience for users.

2 Blueprint imaging technology exclusive to the X Series

At this press conference, vivo also officially released a new blue technology member - BlueImage, which together with vivo's blue crystal chip stack, blue heart model, blue ocean battery life system, and blue river operating system, constitute vivo's blue technology matrix. The official said that the "blueprint" is a pun, which is not only the imaging technology of the "blue factory", but also a kind of implication of "beyond what the eye sees, and appreciate the future". The "Blueprint" embodies vivo's ambition and ambition to set a great "blueprint" for the future of mobile imaging.

vivo's self-developed Blueprint imaging technology, including Blueprint sensor technology and Blueprint image algorithm matrix, as well as the Blueprint image chip V3+ with 6nm process technology, comprehensively improves image processing capabilities. The combined use of these technologies makes the X100 Ultra a professional-grade image experience in a variety of shooting scenarios.

Telephoto stage function

This time, the X100 Ultra is equipped with vivo's exclusive self-developed algorithm, which focuses on overcoming various shooting problems in stage scenes, and can achieve the best shooting effect regardless of basic shooting or stage portrait shooting. Deeply optimized for 20X telephoto stage shooting, users can enjoy the performance while also freezing the moving moment.

Specifically, through vivo's exclusive self-developed algorithm, it has been deeply optimized for the stage scene, especially under the 20X telephoto, it has achieved a very high quasi-focus ratio, which can clearly capture the details of the performers even at a long distance, with natural color restoration and accurate shadow tone, which perfectly reproduces the atmosphere of the scene.

In addition, the Stage mode simplifies the shooting process, making it easy for even novice photographers to get started with high-quality photos without complicated parameter adjustments, so everyone can focus on enjoying the show without missing a moment.

When it comes to dynamic video recording, the X100 Ultra excels in video recording, supporting a zoom range of 10X to 30X, especially when recording at 30X, delivering stunning clarity and stability, making the stage in the distance feel like it's close at hand, making the audience feel like they're in the middle of the action.

The integrated high-performance microphone with custom algorithms effectively reduces ambient noise, such as wind and the surrounding crowd, while enhancing the sound from the stage, making the recorded video audio clear and pure, perfectly retaining the charm of the original stage sound.

Overall, it not only solves a series of challenges of traditional long-distance shooting, such as clarity, color reproduction, image stabilization and sound processing, but also greatly improves the user's shooting experience through intelligent software optimization and user-friendly design, so that everyone can truly become the "official" photographer and director in their own life.

Professional Super RAW

Super RAW is an advanced image format designed for professional photographers and advanced hobbyists, and it's not just about the number of pixels, it's about the massive improvement in image quality. Specifically:

This time, the vivo X100 Ultra is capable of capturing up to 50 million pixels of RAW image data when shooting, a level of resolution that ensures that photos remain crisp and detailed even after large prints or crops. The SuperRAW format retains all the original information captured by the sensor without the compression or processing built into the camera, providing great flexibility and control for post-production.

It's worth noting that usually the RAW format is limited to the main camera, but the X100 Ultra extends it to a telephoto lens, which is quite advanced in the industry. This way, users can enjoy the image quality benefits of RAW in both wide-angle and tele-shot scenes, with better control over noise, exposure, and color balance, especially when lighting is complex or extreme post-production adjustments are required.

3D photography

3D photography is another cutting-edge technology of the X100 Ultra, which utilizes a multi-camera system and advanced algorithms to work in sync to capture the depth of the scene to produce photos and videos with stereoscopic effects. These "3D memories" recorded by the user are stored in a proprietary format that not only ensures the integrity and quality of the data, but also facilitates playback on compatible mainstream MR equipment. Through such a device experience, users can relive those memorable moments across time and space, making memories accessible and more vivid.
