Even Huawei drops it for this year's Pura 90 Pro Max.

Anonymous, 13 May 2026Oh, please. I have both Vivo X300 Pro and Sony Xperia 1 VII in my current collection, and the ... moreI honestly can agree. Even when looking at GSMArena's review of the Vivo X300 Ultra (I only look at the Ultra because of Snapdragon chip btw), it shows way too much white exposure/highlights and colour saturation. Even Oppo managed to dial them down a bit for the Find X9 Ultra.

i0S.- Never.- Again., 13 May 2026You have never used a Vivo have you? That person isn't wrong though. I just compared the camera photos from GSMArena reviews of this Sony, Vivo X300 Ultra, and Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Straightaway, I can easily notice the excessive white exposure/highlights from both Vivo and Oppo in both daylight and lowlight conditions. Colour vibrance is a close call between them, though it's not hard to see the Vivo has the highest saturation. Frankly speaking, the only area where Vivo and Oppo does much better than Sony is digital hybrid zooming, which isn't a surprise given the vast 200MP sensor resolution to play with.
Maybe a group shootout between them might change the course, but only time will tell.

New Xperia looks like cheap OnePlus 10 Temu knock-off. Also it still has 5000mAh Li ion battery and crappy main camera sensor from previous model. It's unacceptable to offer "this" for $1500.

>>> Silcone carbon battery tech is already developed.
The reason Sony and even Samsung ain't putting it is coz it will be expensive for them.
"they said they would rather stick to lithium and deliver non degraded battery life"
>>> There is no such thing as non degraded battery life and Lithium-ion tech is the worst at this.
Just ask Google and Apple.
