76.9mm (3.03in) · Nov 2024 · Rank #109
11+14+13+12+9+3+3+0+3+0 = 68
EDITORIAL: Vivo focuses on a âbattery-screen-camerasâ for itâs success, (Oppo) Realme is going for the âprocessor-battery-screenâ approach. I expected the top performance here but didnât see how amazing phoneâs battery could be. Not only does it last longer than competition, GT 7 Pro also charges 50% in just 12 minutes! Itâs 120W charging is also smarter this year with various options for preserving battery health. And the charger comes in the box to shows us whatâs possible on the battery front. The triple lens main camera produces good photos.
PROs
SD 8 Elite with UFS4.0 performance, outstanding 6500mAh Silicone battery life with sub-1hr 120W charging, a super bright >2000nits 1264p screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 protection, ultrasonic biometrics

* TOP Software* TOP Battery Endurance
EDITORIAL: Poco phones remain top "flagship killers" and the X8 Pro Max proves that point. Compromises are: processor - (just) below flagship grade, there is no tele lens and no AF on a 8MP ultrawide and on selfie. In all other respects, this is a fantastic value proposition and definitely worth your consideration if you're okay with it's heft. Battery endurance is as good as it gets.
PROs
flagship build quality, fast Dimensity 9500s with UFS 4.1 performance, record breaking endurance >48hrs from a large 8500mAh Si battery with sub-50min 100W charging, ~450ppi LTPS AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 (IP68 in Europe) protection, very good 50MP 26mm OIS PDAF main camera, average selfie and video recording, up to 4 years of OS updates, screen sharing and tons of connectivity options for both PC and Mac and a very loud stereo speaker setup
CONs
big and hard to use one-hand, only ~1100nits of screen brightness, ultrawide and selfie performance bring down imaging scores, average video recording quality, no SD memory, slow USB-C 2.0 port (but it does offer OTG)
