EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of charging, screen and imaging performance) A year after it's first Pro Max phone Xiaomi knows it is ready for the international market. The new 18 Pro Max brings big upgrades in chip, massive 8500mAh battery, double 200MP lenses that replace the 50MP ones and a new HyperOS 4 with Android's native support for desktop replacement functionality. In the process, the phone grew in size and weight, now almost as big and heavy as it's iPhone competitor.

PROs
unique two screen design, flagship built, excellent (2nm) SD 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 with UFS 4.1 performance, 48hr endurance from a massive 8500mAh Si-C battery with >60min 100W (50W wireless) charging, 2 ~1000nits 120Hz Dolby Vision LTPO AMOLED screens (front is 418ppi), IP68 protection (down to 6m, up to 30min), much improved 200MP 23mm OIS main + 200MP 75mm OIS periscope telephoto + 50MP 17mm ultrawide (all PDAF) setup, 50MP 21mm PDAF selfie, feature rich HyperOS with 6 years of updates, Android's native support for desktop replacement feature, fast USB-C 3.2 with OTG and Display Port, 3 speaker sound
CONs
big and heavy, sub-1300nits screens, no memory expansion, Xiaomi AI feature integration is behind Samsung, Pixel, Honor and Motorola phones, unlike Apple and Samsung phones Xiaomi is not universally available

EDITORIAL: Following Xiaomi's 2025 move, both Vivo and Oppo released "Pro" and "Pro Max" phones in September 2026. Oppo's Find X10 Pro Max lands somewhere between last year's Pro and Ultra, not really matching either. It beats Pro's battery size and camera setup while the screen is a real downgrade when compared to X9 Ultra's QHD screen. Most importantly: this is the 1st phone with a triple 200MP camera setup on the back and given Oppo's improved imaging performance, it is the "best photo phone" title contender.

PROs
flagship build, fast Dimensity 9600 Pro (2nm) with UFS 4.1 performance, >42hr endurance from a massive 8000mAh (7150mAh in EU) Si-C battery with sub-90min 80W (50W wireless) charging, ~2300nits 450ppi 144Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 protection, industry-first triple 200MP lenses with PDAF: 24mm OIS main + 70mm OIS periscope telephoto + 13mm ultrawide, excellent 50MP 18mm PDAF selfie, very good video recording, up to 5 years of OS updates, Snap button for fast access to a feature of choice, aggressive pricing
CONs
big and 233g heavy, no memory expansion, no desktop replacement functionality despite Android 17 native support, limited market availability
