Vivo

And then the biggie, I was late to the embargo.

I completely misread Vivo's embargo date on the Vivo V80.

But I did get a video out the day after.

I'm slow, but I get there.

Vivo V80, it's a step forward and a step back.

I am a huge fan of Vivo, and it has been really cool to see how they're putting more confidence behind the V series phones.

So the V80 is no exception.

It actually does come with its little Zeiss badge on the back.

I mean, honestly, it's, it's, it is what it is.

I mean, or I would have an Honor or a Vivo or an Oppo.

I don't think I would even look at a Samsung.

I probably wouldn't even bother with a Pixel.

Honor is not on the entity list.

Nothing's not.

Vivo, Xiaomi, nothing.

Nothing's not from China though.

Now, let's move towards the third phone I have.

Yes, it is Vivo Y31D.

This phone was released six months ago, which is again good for the overall performance and comes with a good battery.

The attractive design of this phone comes with a 6.75-inch screen with 120Hz refresh rate and 1250 nits of brightness.

Vivo has offered a 50MP main camera and an 8MP front camera for the camera.

The performance is based on Android 16.

The phone is powered by Origin OS 6.

The initial price of this phone is Rs.

I never use it.

Well, for now, until I get the new operating system from, was it Oppo or Vivo, whatever.

It's going to be ColorOS.

Yeah.

Joe, I'll be honest.

I

sold my Vivo X300 Ultra, and I kind of wish I wouldn't have.

Blackberry key one.

Yeah.

And we had, like, two or three that we were juggling between, and we also were waiting to get, like, the Vivo X300 Pro or Ultra.

I'm pretty sure Samsung Trifold was something we were debating-

Oh

Um, so yeah, we, there's some, some phones that haven't come out yet.

Obviously, the iPhone Duo, we know what it is, but it's not out yet.

Um, I think the Vivo, like, X500 series is around the corner-

Mm-hmm

But, um, let's actually stick with phones.

So both Huawei and Vivo launched new flagship phones.

Seems to be the time of the year.

Um-

But it's interesting to see that almost every Chinese company-- First of all, o- one thing that's really happened now, they, they, uh, understand the value of video, not only photos i- in, in their phones, and that means they are pushing forward, and I'm yet to find any, any company from the traditional photo manufacturing, um, market that can invest as much money in marketing features like this.

Because it seems like those Chinese companies have endless amount of money to, to push stuff and develop it.

And you can see how Huawei, uh, Vivo and HONOR, everybody took completely different, um, path in how to implement photo and video here.

Uh, the one that I like most, I have to say, at least from now, just by looking without any trying, touching, is Huawei.

It's pretty.

And like to tie it into like tech and wackiness, like I'll trot out like a Vivo and take these action shots and I'm sharing them with other parents on the team.

And like, no, you're like, the shots look great, but you're seeing the athleticism of like 10 year olds.

And I got this shot.

Going to slide into second.

You see this girl's glove, just like punch her in the face.

And I got the shot from the Vivo.

And I'm like sharing it like, These girls play hard.

I think we'd all agree.

I am trying to look for my Vivo X300, which I think I left downstairs.

Dang it.

Go sleep deprived podcast.

No props.

But but I want to I was going to hold up the Vivo X300 Ultra because the Vivo X300 Ultra already did that.

And I think a number of people would remember that Samsung, as much as I hate Samsung, already offered a lot of these kinds of you can adjust the post-processing in this kind of pro mode sorts of features.

So, yet again, people who claim to review Android and... like know what the bleeding edge of this tech is, wrote these favorable editorials about Google's version of this ability to adjust the post-processing of your photos.
