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.
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!
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.

Here are the real-world photos from the Vivo X300 Ultra and the Galaxy S26 Ultra side by side:
Main Camera 35mm
Since the Galaxy does not have a native 35mm lens to match the Vivo, we used 1.5x setting from the main camera.
Main Camera Wide
We took these photos at 28mm on the Vivo X300 Ultra (a crop of the ultra-wide camera), while we used the main 1X camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra at 23mm.
