<\/p>\n

First, in terms of specs, you can spot the larger main camera sensor on the Vivo, but the Galaxy has a wider aperture, so each phone has its advantages.<\/p>\n

However, while the Galaxy goes with a relatively small ultra-wide sensor, Vivo makes no compromises as its ultra-wide camera has the same size sensor as the main camera on the Galaxy. Impressive!<\/p>\n

And while the Galaxy has two telephoto cameras (3x and 5x), Vivo has one but again with a much larger sensor that infers superb quality. Let’s see how that plays out.<\/p>\n

Main Camera 35mm<\/p>\n

Since the Galaxy does not have a native 35mm lens to match the Vivo, we used 1.5x setting from the main camera.<\/p>\n
