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

EDITORIAL: The S25 Ultra may be an incremental upgrade in hardware and camera tech but it is a world leader in AI functionality as Samsung turns to AI software to set itself apart from the competition. This is a phone with top performance, a full day of battery life, excellent photo and video results and 7 years of very stable OS package. Included is DeX - still the very best desktop replacement software there is. The screen, while not the brightest minimizes reflections and is more usable outdoors than any other. This year, Samsung decided to give us an Ultra with improved battery endurance and faster charging too. The lack of expandable memory is the only thing keeping the S25 Ultra back. The included stylus lost its Bluetooth but still works great.
PROs
Snapdragon 8 Elite, >1400nits ~500ppi LTPO AMOLED screen with HDR10+ and anti reflective coating, excellent 200MP main camera joined by 10MP and 50MP telephoto lenses and a 50MP ultrawide, tried and true 12MP PDAF Selfie, 7 years of OS updates and AI features ahead of the pack, amazing DeX computer replacement software
CONs
218gr 77.6mm wide glass and metal brick with a small 5000mAh battery, >60min slow 45W (15W wireless) charging, Samsung's refusal to include expandable SDmemory storage (do you know how big are these 8k video files?), the ecosystem that's trying to lock you in since 2019
