Vivo X300 vs iPhone 17 Camera Comparison

The Vivo X300 smartphone comes with a 200 MP main camera, plus a 50 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. On the front, you get a 50 MP selfie camera.

On the other hand, the iPhone 17 smartphone comes with a dual-camera setup, which includes a 48 MP main camera and a 48 MP ultra-wide camera. In the front, you get an 18 MP selfie camera with the Center Stage feature, which automatically adjusts you to the center of your background.

So, if we compare both phones based on their camera setup, you can clearly see that the Vivo X300 smartphone excels in hardware versatility and zoom due to its 200 MP main sensor and a dedicated 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.

This allows for more detailed zoom shots and cropping capabilities. You can capture better low-light photos in certain situations with the Vivo X300 smartphone than with the iPhone 17.

But in case you want excellence in video recording and consistency, then you should go with the iPhone 17 because of its powerful A19 chip and computational photography algorithms. This phone is known for its smooth, reliable video with professional features like ProRes and long recording, which the Vivo cannot even match.

Which One Should You Go With?

So, it is totally up to you. If you prioritize camera hardware versatility, especially long-range zoom photography, then you should completely ignore the iPhone 17 smartphone. But if you are embedded in the Apple ecosystem and want industry-leading video recording capabilities for professional use, then you should go with the iPhone 17 smartphone.
