Good review with one flaw. You forget to make public the video samples. The link you gave is just for main cam (not playlist) and I cant find the other videos in your channel

I wonder how the X9 Pro and Ultra will change in price going forward? The Pro might turn out to be the sweet spot if it changes more.
Alex, 22 Apr 2026What a bunch of liars, since when the speakers on the S26 Ultra are better than Magic8 Pro.With sound it can be down to personal preference rather thn being "a liar". Read multiple high end audio reviews of speakers for this
They could have gone with a 28mm primary camera lens. As of now, Vivo has same size sensor but is 35mm field of view. Xiaomi has the same 23mm focal length but has a 1in sensor. Right now, it seems neither here nor there. They also could have attracted all the 28mm fans in the world.
Telephoto quality is excellent. Waiting for raw samples from someone in dpreview forums because x8 ultra RAWs were staggeringly good, even the 50mp ones from telephoto. I have found Oppo to have generally better stock camera raws than Vivo, Xiaomi and expect the same here.
Rian43, 21 Apr 2026GSMArena are big Vivo glaciers😂😂, this phone blows the Vivo X300 Ultra away in every category,... morevivo is better in camera overall, watch ben sin's vid
oppo is the better phone and the camera differences can be forgiven

Huawei: 8MP ~1/3.24" 1.22µm 240mm... morecheck your math budy
huawei is not 8 megapixel
hi! i'm really interested to know if the x9 pro is still the best cameraphone or if the ultra is even better. what about the vivo ultra or xiaomi/leica?

Anonymous, 22 Apr 2026Because the 8eg5 cooks itself no matter what. 11w/core @4.6ghz.whilst that's true, what's the point of having the chip if you cant get to use it at all?
introduce performance modes and vary the clocks by mode. Problem solved.

I had already test driven the X300 Ultra a couple of... moreThanks for the info man! I was wondering though, how would you rate the phones in terms of portrait photos? Vivo X300U vs Find X9U? Both 3X and 6X? Are the portrait shots detailed, defined, sharp? How's the background seperation?
Any info to spare?
Oppo smashing it lately

Chinese Ultra phones are rarely widely available and they're only for the most dedicated buyers, iPhone users don't even have that kind of expectation for their phones
Shamrock Sean, 21 Apr 2026Sorry but the S23 Ultra 10x zoom was a pathetic 10mp. No contest to the Oppo This doesn't change the fact that before X9 Ultra last phone with 10X optical was S23U so before eating marketing bs and jumping into conclusion isn't it better to have a comparison to understand how better is it?
Shamrock Sean, 21 Apr 2026Sorry but the S23 Ultra 10x zoom was a pathetic 10mp. No contest to the Oppo These 26MP from Oppo 10x definitely dont look native so 50MP is for marketing sheep
Android Trumps iOS, 21 Apr 2026The iPhone is definitely sitting on the Throne. The Throne for the worst flagship of the year... moreI think you typed Galaxy S26 ultra wrong. That is worse in every way possible. All about AI crap and mostly downgrades. Even the much hyped privacy display have more downsides than upside and its been eons since they have ultra cameras at their end. Unfortunately when it comes US, we have only iphone, samsung and google and all have their downsides.

IceColdPhone, 21 Apr 2026I am talking about the SOC, the snapdragon 8 elite gen 5
it has a max CPU clock of 4.6Ghz
... moreand im just saying why nerf the gpu like that? you're asking for the manufacturer to impose artificial barriers.
Why not have 3 settings, 1 with nerfed clocks (underclocked), 1 with "optimised by manufacturer" clocks and a gaming mode or something? That way everyone gets to enjoy modes.
As is now, I like Oppo's current method better, nothing's worse than editing an image and it taking longer.
And again, if you use graphically demanding tasks, just lower the performance settings, and the demand from the soc will be lower so you wont get more heat, thus stability will be good. I dont get what your point is at all.
