@minuteez Thanks for the Aliexpress link.

I have already tried.
X300 Ultra imaging grip, 200 and 400 lens works.
Didn't auto pop up the teleconverter button when first time insert the lens. X300u it did for global ROM though.

X10 pro max PO price 1749 before any voucher.. 550 less than vivo x500 pro max.. zzz..

x300u white is cooler, x500pm white is very slightly warmer (now i understand why 晴天 lol), the warmer shade is perfect

Seller helped me avoid 大坑, initially wanted to get x500p to replace my x200pm(ini), no stock and upgraded to x500pm, now i see x500p on vivo.com price drop

I prefer the x300U glacial etching thingy. TInk quite nice.

we who buy x500pm at high price will heart pain for next few mths until the x500U wipe away our pain. Can only post birdie peekture to ease the pain.

Actually wanted to post flying birrie pic to symbolise money fly away, but I not pro enuff to take those kinds of pics yet. so can oni post birdie sitting on pole pic.

True. Singapore is already such a small market and they still priced their phone so high. Somemore, we have similar phones with good cameras, like the Oppo X10 Series and Xiaomi 18 series.

No matter how expensive,it's still a brand from china, shouldn't be too expensive. It's already on the same price as Samsung S26 Ultra during debut. However, impressive the camera is, it's still not justified to pay so much. I would rather get a proper mirrorless DSLR at this price point.

My X300 Pro also bought less than $1200, very good price point for a good camera phone. Don't think i will upgrade my camera phone anytime soon.

Now using Z Fold8 as my main phone, camera is not an issue.

same here x300pro i get was about 1.2k to 1.3k and quite happy using it

Don't think will be changing phone so fast as now ram storage price now skyrocket.

So cute the bunny lops! And the flames captured on video (std profile) can tell such a huge difference.

This video is a detailed comparison between the Vivo X500 Pro Max (smartphone) and the Osmo Pocket 4P (dedicated camera), hosted by The Film Alliance. The creator explores whether it makes sense to carry a dedicated camera when modern smartphones have such capable camera systems.

Key Comparison Points:

• Color Science & Image Quality: The Osmo Pocket 4P generally offers a more realistic, contrasty, and cinematic look with its 1-inch sensor, while the Vivo X500 Pro Max tends to produce brighter, sometimes flatter images with lifted midtones (02:26-05:45).
• Stabilization: Both excel; the Vivo uses a mix of optical and electronic stabilization that performs surprisingly well in low light, while the Osmo Pocket 4P utilizes a mechanical gimbal for smooth movement (05:45-07:00).
• Low Light & Lens Performance: The Osmo Pocket 4P handles highlights and shadows better, particularly in low-light scenarios (07:00-08:19).
• Log Profiles & Workflow: The Vivo has a major advantage by allowing users to shoot in 10-bit log across all its cameras and import custom LUTs for real-time monitoring. In contrast, the Osmo Pocket 4P is limited to DLOG 2 on its main camera (11:19-13:19).
• Usability: The Vivo benefits from a larger display for monitoring, whereas the Osmo Pocket 4P provides superior image quality but requires careful focus management (09:10-10:13).

Conclusion: While the Vivo X500 Pro Max is incredibly versatile and user-friendly for log workflows, the creator prefers the Osmo Pocket 4P for its dedicated video-first design, larger sensor, and cinematic output (13:40-14:38).

Which camera is better for low light?

According to the video, the Osmo Pocket 4P generally performs better in low-light conditions compared to the Vivo X500 Pro Max (07:00 - 08:19).
Here are the key takeaways regarding their low-light performance:

• Sensor Advantage: The Osmo Pocket 4P features a larger 1-inch sensor, which helps it capture images with less noise in low-light environments (07:12 - 07:16).
• Contrast and Detail: While the Vivo X500 Pro Max performs impressively for a smartphone, it tends to lift midtones, which can make the image look more processed or flatter. The Osmo Pocket 4P maintains better contrast, highlights, and shadows, resulting in a more cinematic look (07:17 - 07:38).
• Lens Flare: In side-by-side tests, the Osmo Pocket 4P produced a cleaner, soft spherical glow around light sources, whereas the Vivo exhibited more digital-looking streaks and halation (07:39 - 08:00).

Unfortunately, the most interesting model for me X500Pro is not coming to SG. Need to buy China set. Currently I uses X200Pro Mini, X500Pro is the replacement model for me. The good thing of China set is that you can opt for 16GB ram

 

[Jurong640]

not sure if they will eventually launch the X500 Ultra. Can't imagine the price they are asking for.
