Xiaomi 14 Ultra
75.3mm (2.96in) · Feb 2024 · Rank #93
9+8+13+12+15+3+5+0+5+0 = 70
EDITORIAL: Xiaomiâs best 2024 phone was one of worldâs top camera phones of 2024. Missing are selfie camera auto-focus, the memory expansion slot and any attempt at the desktop replacement feature tho âvideo outâ is supported. Xiaomi did a fantastic job with the main camera that features 4 50MP sensors, all with PDAF functionality and with a Photography Kit accessory available as an extra purchase â this really is a camera-phone.
PROs
more compact then direct (camera centric) competitors, good SD 8 Gen 3 performance, high res (520ppi) LTPO OLED with Dolby Vision, top camera chops (quad 50MP sensor setup with a periscope tele and OIS on all but ultrawide â all lenses have PDAF!), excellent video recording and long OS update support
CONs
a powerful processor with high-res 68B color support screen take a great toll on battery â barely a 1-day performance (updated Apr 16, 2025)
(Vivo) IQOO 13
76.7mm (3.02in) · Nov 8, 2024 · Rank #96

EDITORIAL: As last year, Vivo's subbrand IQOO released it's top phone as soon as the best Snapdragon chip became available. This year there is no Pro model, just one amazing gaming powerhouse with a 6000+mAh Silicon Carbon battery that provides exceptional battery runtime. The screen is also outstanding, performing better than most flagships. If you can live with a good (but not great) cameras and you're okay with a phone this big - IQOO 13 (and OnePlus 13) should be at the top of your list.
PROs
SD 8 Elite processor and top performance scores, a 6150mAh Silicone Carbon battery with top battery endurance with very fast 120W wired (no wireless) charging, excellent 1800nits (>500ppi) LTPO AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 water protection, good 50MP main + 50MP tele with OIS and PDAF + 50MP ultrawide with AF, light and fast Funtouch OS with 4 years of OS updates
CONs
big size, selfie with no AF, lack of expandable SDmemory storage and a lack of desktop replacement software
