27 April 2025
Alas, the company has not revealed plans for a global launch of one of the best camera phones of 2025.

Yes. I would if I could. Yet I got it recently for review and I'm super impressed by it

    Comparing the Ultra with the Ultra: The S25 Ultra starts at 256GB with a 1TB option all using UFS 4.0.

    As for the smaller X200 Pro Mini with a great 1TB? Who's actually buying that with its outdated USB 2.0, old optical fingerprint scanner, still bulkier and not even being globally available?
    Meanwhile, Samsung's busy often throwing in free goodies (earbuds, watches, or tablets) with their 256GB models at the same price as the 128GB variants or even at lower prices.

      Neither of them have an SD Card slot, so there is no advantage there.

        And this Sony is not even out yet, but it is assured that this true complete flagship will have microSD support, unlike this X200 "Ultra".

                  100 ultra is better

                  8g3 > 8 elite
                  Android 14 > android 15

                    I still wouldn't discount last year's X100 Ultra. Tbh, I'd take a 1" camera sensor over a 35mm effective focal length all day.

Go look for that, unless your device have a dated USB 2.0 port.

                      If only Vivo really cared and put a more storage space option in their X200 Ultra camera accessory attachment.

                      Otherwise, wait for the next Sony Xperia 1 VII, it's your best bet for microSD and even a jack in a truly feature rich flagship for photographers.

                          Yes I bought one already and waiting for it to be shipped (Vivo x200 Ultra) I waited so long for this moment, i wanted to buy x100 ultra because it was so good, im glad i waited.

I run out of storage on my 256 GB S22 Ultra constantly and dont really take too many photos now. I have like 300 gigs of photos and video on my pc. If I had the Vivo i'd be taking pics like crazy. It's at times like this I wish the microSD card slot were still here

                              I wish 1 TB became common place and 1.5-2 TB phones started popping up. All that talk about 8K and UltraRAW but the phones dont have enough space for it.

                              Anyways i get you tho, this phone seems to be absolutely worth it for the most part!

There are two major advantages of the Oneplus 13t, the inhand feel is way better and the camera doesn't get in the way at all. The x200 pro mini's camera bump gets in the way of holding the phone normally for anyone who doesn't have small hands (it's got the worst inhand feel between the Xiaomi 15, OPPO find x8s and Oneplus 13t). The other advantage would be the battery life is way way better than the x200pro mini according to all the Chinese battery rankings. However, the Vivo has a big advantage for cameras for sure and has wireless charging but it costs around 40% more which is quite a lot extra

                                      18mm way too thick for a phone. This is a brick

                                        That's the same line people probably used about everything our phones do today, fifteen years ago.
                                        True innovation still exists, whether you like it or not.
