* TOP Performance* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Gaming* TOP Software* TOP Screen
EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery and imaging performance) Vivo decided to adjust to tough market conditions by sacrificing LTPO tech while adding a massive battery. Despite "big and heavy", this is one of the best gaming phone options out there.
PROs
blazing SD 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 (2nm) with UFS 4.1 performance, >42hr endurance from a 8400mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 100W (40W wireless) charging, excellent >1300nits 508ppi 165Hz AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 protection, good overall 50MP main + 50MP periscope telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + 50MP AF ultrawide setup, average 32MP 21mm non-AF selfie, average video recording, feature rich OriginOS with 5 years of OS updates, fast USB-C 3.2 with OTG

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, screen and imaging performance) Following Xiaomi's 2025 move, both Vivo and Oppo released "Pro" and "Pro Max" phones in September 2026. Oppo's Find X10 Pro Max lands somewhere between last year's Pro and Ultra, not really matching either. It beats Pro's battery size and camera setup while the screen is a real downgrade from X9 Ultra's QHD screen. Most importantly: this is the 1st phone with a triple 200MP camera setup on the back and given Oppo's improved imaging performance, we should expect the best photo phone title contender.
PROs
flagship build, fast Dimensity 9600 Pro (2nm) with UFS 4.1 performance, >42hr endurance from a massive 8000mAh (7150mAh in EU) Si-C battery with sub-90min 80W (50W wireless) charging, ~1100nits 450ppi 144Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 protection, industry-first triple 200MP lenses with PDAF: 24mm OIS main + 70mm OIS periscope telephoto + 13mm ultrawide, excellent 50MP 18mm PDAF selfie, very good video recording, up to 5 years of OS updates, Snap button for fast access to a feature of choice, aggressive pricing
CONs
big and 233g heavy, sub-1300nits screen may be hard to read in direct sunlight, no memory expansion, no desktop replacement functionality despite Android 17 native support, limited market availability
