The vivo X300s will feature a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP periscope telephoto and a 50MP ultrawide, alongside a 200MP primary sensor.

The vivo V70 FE features a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,900 nits of peak brightness. It also offers HDR10+ support and is a 10-bit Q10+ panel.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is not a phone that tries to disappear in your hand or your pocket. The gigantic circular Leica camera island still dominates the rear panel, just like on the previous model, but there is a subtle shift in design language. With a flatter back panel and flat side frame, the 17 Ultra leans into a cleaner, more minimal look than the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra brings serious camera hardware. It is equipped with a 50MP 1"-type Light Fusion 1050L sensor with LOFIC HDR and other improvements. The 200MP telephoto camera (1/1.4" sensor) has a variable focal length lens that goes smoothly between 75mm and 100mm. It's joined by a 50MP 115° ultra-wide on the back.

Apple is widely rumored to be introducing variable aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max later this year, and Samsung is apparently paying very close attention to iPhone-related rumors. That's because the Korean company is now said to be considering re-adding the feature to its lineup as well. The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S10 both had variable aperture main cameras, but the feature was dropped with the Galaxy S20 generation in 2020.

iPhones have been the go-to smartphone for video recording for a long time, and Apple is taking it a step further with the iPhone 17 Pro series. The new Pro models support ProRes RAW video recording capabilities, allowing filmmakers to have greater creative freedom over their recordings. You can record 4K Dolby Vision videos at up to 120 fps via the main camera and up to 60 fps on the other two sensors.

The Honor Magic8 series will be unveiled in the fourth quarter of 2025 (October-December), reveals Honor CMO Guo Rui. "The upcoming #HonorMagic8# AI-native smartphone will be the most exciting flagship of Q4," writes Guo. We've heard through the grapevine that the Magic8 phones will have a dedicated AI button. While that hasn't been officially confirmed, Honor CEO James Li revealed that MagicOS 10 will have deep AI integration and will be able to automate many tasks.

The HMD Vibe2 features a Unisoc T606 chipset, offering 4G connectivity and a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging. It showcases a 6.75-inch LCD with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate.

The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra features the world's first switchable dual telephoto system, integrating two zoom lenses with a single sensor, enhancing smartphone photography capabilities.

Samsung's new book-style foldable, the Z Fold 7, boasts a reduced weight and thickness, making it feel like a standard candy bar phone when folded.

The Pura 80 Ultra features an impressive switchable dual telephoto camera system, sporting a large sensor and innovative design that enhances light capture and zoom capabilities.

The Pixel 10 Pro will come with a 6.3-inch 1080x2856 LTPO OLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.

Among its most exciting upgrades is the customizable Film Simulation dial—a first for any X Series camera, allowing users to switch film emulations on the fly.

Huawei’s Pura 80 series promises to revolutionize low-light video recording by significantly enhancing dynamic range and introducing a new vivid mode for improved clarity.

I would still argue that the iPhone 16 Pro Max is a great option to consider with this deal. I started using the phone myself in January, and the moment I picked it up, it took me back to my freshman year of high school when I received the iPhone 8 Plus Rose Gold.
