Oppo Find X10 Pro Max Vs Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Vs Vivo X500 Pro Max Camera Comparison

Summary

TechTablets compares the cameras of the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max, Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, and Vivo X500 Pro Max, testing video, audio, and still photos. The presenter says all three phones were running their latest firmware at the time of testing. The results are subjective impressions rather than measured lab scores.

Video and audio

• Front-facing video: All three phones are tested at 4K/60fps with electronic image stabilization (EIS), and their daytime stabilization appears good. The presenter prefers the Oppo for vlog footage because of its wider view and steady video.
• Ultrawide field of view: The Oppo is widest at an equivalent 13mm, followed by the Vivo at 15mm and the Xiaomi at 17mm. The Oppo therefore captures more of the scene.
• Rear video and zoom: The Vivo has a slight edge in overall rear-camera stability, while the Oppo’s zoom video is especially steady in daylight. The Xiaomi has the most wind noise in the audio test; the Oppo is judged the best overall compromise for audio.
• 8K video: All three support 8K recording with their main cameras. The Vivo performs best for stabilization in the 8K sample. The presenter notes that the Oppo can record 8K with all three of its 200-megapixel sensors, but cannot switch between them while recording.
• Low-light video: Front-camera footage becomes grainy in low light on all three phones. The Vivo’s Zeiss T* coating appears to control lens flare best, while the Xiaomi shows the most flare in the tested scenes.

Still photos

• Selfies and portraits: The Oppo is preferred for selfies and rear portraits, particularly for skin tones and portrait cutout and stitching. The presenter finds that the Xiaomi and Vivo brighten or smooth skin more.
• Bright scenes and color: The Oppo handles the bright red hibiscus best, retaining more distinct shades with less clipping. The Xiaomi often looks closest to the scene’s colors in other daylight examples, though it can appear too bright or saturated in some shots. The Vivo sometimes brightens scenes or sharpens details more heavily.
• Ultrawide photos: The Oppo’s wider field of view is a clear advantage. Color preferences vary by scene: the presenter sometimes favors Xiaomi’s more natural-looking color and sometimes the Vivo’s rendering.
• Zoom: Daylight zoom results are close at native optical zoom. At longer zoom levels, the Vivo often shows the most detail but can look over-sharpened. In night zoom comparisons, the Vivo is generally preferred for detail and color, though the Oppo captures strong detail in one low-light optical-zoom sample.
• Macro: All three perform well in super-macro mode. The Vivo captures plenty of detail but may oversharpen; the Oppo is praised for more natural reds and less saturation.
• Night photos: The Vivo is the presenter’s overall pick for main-camera and zoom night shots. The Oppo performs best among the three for low-light ultrawide photos. Results vary by scene, and the Xiaomi looks most natural in one main-camera night comparison.

Overall verdict

The presenter’s broad preference is Oppo for vlogging, selfies and portraits, bright red subjects, and ultrawide coverage, while Vivo leads in many night main-camera and zoom shots, as well as 8K stabilization. Xiaomi sometimes produces the most true-to-life color, but its narrower ultrawide view and wind-noise performance are noted drawbacks.
