EDITORIAL: Eagerly anticipated Vivo X200 Ultra came with the top hardware and very mature photo and video processing. It improved on the amazing X200 Pro with UFS 4.1, higher pixel density screen, OIS PDAF on all of its back lenses, AF selfie and a dedicated iPhone-like photo hardware slider. An amazing smartphone if you don't care for its big size and heft. It also has an extensive optional camera accessories package that adds controls, battery, and telephoto skills.

EDITORIAL: This year, one of the TOP 5 camera phones came with a significant battery endurance improvement. The main camera retained the 1" sensor, lost the variable aperture but the 2 zoom cameras are now better then ever. There is no AF on the selfie and like last year, there is an extra camera grip available for the ultimate photo & video creation. Still missing are SD memory card and the desktop replacement feature. Promised are 4 years of OS updates.
