EDITORIAL: Continuing pattern of minimal innovation, Pixel 11 XL comes with a new 5-color LED (partial) notification light, new 3nm Tensor G6 chip and a marginally improved imaging setup. Battery is smaller (!) then last year with same charging setup.

mediocre Tensor G6 (3nm) with UFS 4.0 performance will not support every game, sub-30hr endurance from a 5100mAh old-tech lithium battery with 60min 45W (25W wireless) charging, no SD memory slot, limited market availability, $1,300 expensive at lounch

EDITORIAL: Released in May of 2024 and topped by Vivo X200 Pro phone, Vivo X100 Ultra set a new camera phone standard with its 200MP telephoto camera and a top all-around hardware and software imaging setup. This is one of the best 2024 phones for photography. It has an outstanding screen too but Vivo left room to improve by excluding a memory card slot and missing the 4 or more years of OS software updates that Apple, Samsung, Google and others offer.
PROs
very good SD 8 Gen 3 with UFS 4.0 performance, sub-30min fast 80W (30W wireless) charging, 1800nits bright >500ppi LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 protection, top imaging from a OIS PDAF 50MP main + 200MP tele + a 50MP AF ultrawide, 50MP AF Selfie, light and fast Funtouch OS with 3 years of updates
CONs
<24-hour battery endurance, lack of expandable storage, only 3 year OS update policy, no desktop replacement software
