* TOP SoftwareMidrange

EDITORIAL: Honor improved it's midrange offering with a (last year top) flagship chip, a great screen, a 200MP main camera and a 6 year long support for OS updates. Both main and telephoto cameras produce great shots in all conditions. A 2nd (FOV) lense on the front makes up for lack of AF on a 50MP selfie and also delivers iPhone-like face unlock. What a shame that there is no video out from the very slow USB-C port.

PROs
excellent SD 8 Gen 3 performance, >30hr life from a 5300mAh Si/C battery with sub-40min 100W (50W wireless) charging, excellent pics from a 200MP OIS main + 50MP OIS tele + 12MP ultrawide (all PDAF) back cameras, excellent 50MP selfie with a FOV second lens and 6 years of OS updates
CONs
slow USB-C port, no video out, memory expansion or desktop replacement functionality

13+11+11+12+9+3+3+0+5+0 = 67

EDITORIAL: Another Ultra phone from Poco brings updates but also some downgrades to excellent F7 Ultra. F8 Ultra advantage of being a cheap flagship phone is fading with higher pricing and exposing it to last year’s best phones of the same price. Still, it offers top processor with fastest memory, great endurance and screen (tho non-LTPO) and solid performance main and periscope tele cameras. Bose partnered to create the first 2.1 sound on a phone – standard two channels that add a woofer speaker located in the camera island. It produces excellent sound.

PROs
top SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS4.1 performance, 36hr battery endurance from 6500mAh battery with sub-60min 100W (40W wireless) charging, good sub-420ppi AMOLED with Dolby Vision (tho non-LTPO and with sub-1100nits brightness), IP68 protection. many great pics from 50MP 23mm OIS PDAF main + 50MP 115mm PDAF periscope telephoto + 50MP 18mm ultrawide back cameras, up to 5 years of OS updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG and Display Out and excellent sound co-designed with Bose
CONs
almost 3mm wider then F7 Ultra, heavier too, poor performance under prolonged maximum load (gets very hot too). mediocre 32MP 21mm selfie, mediocre video recording, no expandable memory, lacking in advanced AI tricks competitors have and no desktop replacement functionality
