EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging and imaging performance) In search of greater profits (because there is no such thing as "enough") Apple is back to microscopic improvments. This time: black color is back, new processor and a variable aperture on one of the lenses... that, and a $100 higher price is all you get.

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of screen and imaging performance) In a very aggressive (in a good way) fashion, Oppo released it's 2026 core Find family on September 22nd. The Find X10 seems to be a X9 Pro upgrade: better chip, ginormous 8000mAh battery, 144Hz Dolby Vision screen, two 200MP lenses and a upgraded ColorOS 17 with Android 17 out of the box - all for a ~€700 price at lounch!

CONs
wider then comparable competition, fast charging takes longer then 60min, sub-1300nits screen brightness could be an issue in bright light, no memory expansion option, no desktop replacement functionality, limited market availability
