The camera system includes a 200MP main sensor (Sony LYTIA 901), a 200MP periscope telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide.
The battery is 6,600mAh with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging. Durability ratings are IP68 and IP69.
Vivo has been making some of the most interesting camera phones in the world for a couple of years now, and the X300 Ultra continues that streak.
Though the upgrades this year are just too incremental.
Our first impression of the phone was that it might as well be called the X200s Ultra.
Not to say the improvements aren’t noticeable, but modest compared to the generational leap of its predecessor.
That said, what it does well, it does exceptionally.
For instance, the “Raw Lighting” mode dials back the computational processing to produce images that look more like they came from a professional camera than a phone.
Saturation is reduced, sharpening is toned down, and the fine details come out more naturally.
It’s the kind of feature that’s far more useful day-to-day than any flashy filter.
The main camera uses a Sony LYTIA 901 sensor, and Zeiss handles the colour calibration.
The telephoto is a genuine upgrade over last year’s, though we found a noticeable difference only in low light.
In good lighting, the gap between the X300 Ultra and X200 Ultra is minimal.
The 6,600mAh cell and 100W wired charging run everything. Available from around €1,999.
4. Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max
The Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max features a 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, protected by Kunlun Glass.
It is powered by the Kirin 9030S chipset.
The camera system includes a 50MP main sensor with RYYB filter and variable aperture (f/1.4–f/4.0), a 200MP periscope telephoto, and a 40MP ultrawide.
The battery is 6,000mAh with 100W wired charging. Durability ratings are IP68 and IP69.
Huawei is the most complicated name on this list.
US trade restrictions have essentially cut the company off from American markets, and using one here comes with real trade-offs — no Google services, limited app support, and software that takes some patience to work around.
