SUPERIORBEST Phone Fall Winter 2025* TOP Camera* TOP Selfie* TOP Software* TOP Desktop Replacement* TOP Battery Endurance
EDITORIAL: Smaller in every way then Magic 7 Pro, this phone brings the best SnapDragon chip, a significantly bigger battery, 120W charging, brighter LTPO screen and a variable apperature main camera that Magic 7 Pro dropped. This is a phone with top performance, amazing battery endurance, excellent screen and possibly the best camera in business. Honor even included a great desktop replacement feature making Magic 8 Pro incredibly hard to beat.

SUPERIOR* TOP Software* TOP PHOTO/VIDEO
EDITORIAL: Unlike X200 Ultra, the X300 Ultra is sold outside of China. Vivo is delivering it's finest camera-phone by putting a double 200MP sensor camera (industry first) and offering not one but two optional tele lenses (a 200mm and a 400mm). Lens coating is still by Zeiss but like with other current Vivo's phones: all other camera tech (hardware and software) is home grown.
PROs

CONs
big and >230g hefty, hard to use one hand, battery endurance could be better for a phone this size and with LTPO screen, no expandable memory slot, no desktop replacement functionality, very expensive
