EDITORIAL: While seemingly incremental, this is a real upgrade over excellent 2024 Magic 6 Pro. Only the camera is similar but the physical build, (flatter) screen, fingerprint reader, speakers, water resistance, OS, AI features and even battery charging speed (both weird and wireless) have been upgraded. There is a difference in the SiCarbon battery size this time: some markets will receive Magic 7 Pro with a 5270mAh pack, others with a 5850mAh sized battery. The smaller battery model will still give you a full-day battery life but not the 36hr level performance you will get from the bigger battery version. Either way, check before you buy. What is still missing is the SD memory expansion slot and a more polished desktop replacement software.
PROs
SnapDragon 8 Elite processor with excellent overall performance, 36hr endurance from 5850mAh Silicone Carbon battery (smaller in Europe) with sub-50min 100W (80W wireless) charging, >1500nits bright 450ppi LTPO OLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 water protection, excellent 50MP 24mm OIS main + 200MP 120mm OIS periscope telephoto + 50MP 13mm ultrawide (all with PDAF), excellent 50MP 23mm OIS PDAF selfie, 7 years of very stable and feature rich OS with great AI integration, Desktop replacement feature
CONs
large 223gr 77.1 body, somewhat inconsistent videos across lenses, lack of expandable SDmemory storage (while offering 8k video recording)

EDITORIAL: Eagerly anticipated Vivo X200 Ultra came with the top hardware and very mature photo and video processing. It improved on the amazing X200 Pro with UFS 4.1, higher pixel density screen, OIS PDAF on all of its back lenses, AF selfie and a dedicated iPhone-like photo hardware slider. An amazing smartphone if you don't care for its big size and heft. It also has an extensive optional camera accessories package that adds controls, battery, and telephoto skills.
