EDITORIAL: Another great effort from Vivo. Downgraded UFS speed, camera and a non-LTPO screen but otherwise very close to Vivo X200 Pro in performance, battery endurance, fast charging and screen quality. Highly recommended it you can get the 512GB version, not available everywhere.
PROs
very fast performance by UFS4.0 and Dimensity 9400, 36hr endurance from a 5800mAh Si/C anode battery with sub-40min 90W charging, >1500nits 460ppi 120Hz OLED screen with HDR10+ and >2000Hz PWM dimming frequency, IP69 protection, excellent 50MP 23mm main + very good 50MP 70mm telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + very good 50MP 15mm ultrawide setup,
CONs
non-LTPO screen locked at 60Hz, 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate, average 32MP non-AF selfie, average video recording, no expandable memory, low number of (years of) OS updates, no desktop replacement feature
Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro Max
77.9mm (3.07in) · Mar 17, 2026 · Rank #98

* 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)
