EDITORIAL: Oppo's 2025 top phone is limited to Chinese market but it is a worth purchase wherever you live. It has all the best phone hardware features and the only letdown are minor software inconsistencies. Performance is top of the charts but the phone will throttle under prolonged, heavy load. Following Apple, there are now 2 new hardware buttons: a Shortcut button and a iPhone-like camera control button with capacitive touch support.
PROs
great build with a Shortcut and a Quick button, top performance scores of the SD 8 Elite combined with UFS 4.1 storage, a 36hr endurance from 6100mAh Silicone anode battery with sub-40min 100W charging (50W wireless), a flat >500ppi sharp HDR10+ screen with high-frequency PWM dimming, IP69 ingress protection, a 50MP 23mm main + 2 50MP (70mm and 135mm) tele lenses (all 3 OIS PDAF) + 50MP 13mm PDAF ultrawide, excellent 32MP PDAF selfie, great video recording, 5 years of updates for stabile and feature rich OS
CONs
being one of the biggest/ heaviest (226gr) phones on the market, relatively low (1100nits) maximum brightness may frustrate you in bright outdoors light, lack of expandable storage & desktop replacement feature, stereo speakers could have been louder

EDITORIAL: This year, Xiaomi is all-out after Apple. Not only did it skip the 16th gen and name their flagships to match Apple's 17th gen - they also matched the design too. Except, instead of just offering a "plateau" bump across the upper back of their Pro phones, Xiaomi put a second screen there. Both back and main screens match in brightness and Dolby Vision certification and allow you to take selfies with back cameras. Otherwise, 17 Pro upgrades on last year's (China only) 15 Pro with better processor, faster memory, bigger battery size and charging speed, higher screen PWM dimming rate, water immersion depth, selfie with a PDAF, new OS and even added Dolby Atmos speaker certification.
PROs
compact, great new design with a large and bright back screen, fast SD Elite 8 Gen 5 processor with UFS 4.1 performance, 36hr endurance from a 6300mAh battery with sub-50min 100W (50W wireless) charging. 2 <1300 bright LTPO AMOLED screens with 120Hz refresh >2000Hz PWM and HDR10+ and Dolby Vision tech, IP68 protection (up to 4m water immersion for 30 min), excellent imaging from the 50MP 23mm OIS main and 50MP 17mm ultrawide (both with PDAF), excellent new 50MP 21mm PDAF selfie, HyperOS 3.0 with 4 years of updates, Android 17's native desktop replacement feature, fast USB-C 3.2 port with Video-out and screen sharing with PCs or Macs
CONs
could end up China-only, sub-1300nits on both screens, only okay 50MP 115mm periscope telephoto performance, no SDmemory, China only
