Principal Tech, 06 Mar 2025Damn, the 90W charger results are on par with 45W S25 Ultra... moreWhile the 30 mins by percentage is equal, don't forget it's 410mAh larger. And the full time is 8 mins faster. They're taking a safer measure this time, probably the 120W has quite an unwanted battery degradation. I don't use my 120W (from both Xiaomi 13 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro) either most of the time, only on corner cases when I have to go out for long but I'm short in time to charge. From experience, you will only get that maximum wattage for like during 5-20% or so, then it drops significantly.

For instance 15 Ultra + pad7 + photography kit for around 1150 euros and if you are a student you get 20% plus on top of it....

          It is 2X of S25 Ultra offers at right now and still not better than it. I don't know how the charger system they made this time.

            I don't quite know how you guys judge the phone speakers, sure Xiaomi 15 Ultra sounds as good as other phones in 2025 technology, but not that better than phones like S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra, S25 Ultra, Oppo Find N3 or Honor Magic7 Pro. These phones i just listed just sounds damn better than Xiaomi 15 Ultra you said that better speakers than this phone. I did the comparing with your own system and Xiaomi 15 Ultra lacks in mid tones and therefore not as full as the devices i mentioned

A 35mm camera is much harder to stabilize than a 23/24mm one so the better stabilization system may be needed for the 35mm on the x200 ultrw

                  I've seen no body said good about its cameras.
                  Xiaomi also stole charger from the box while increasing price.
                  So, you going to pay 1500 for a downgrade of 14 ultra.
                  For the sake of a bit faster chipset.

                  1500 is huge price, all 15 family is extreme expensive and all of them coming without charger.

                    jiyen235, 05 Mar 2025im assuming it means not using dcg?Yes, they would be far ahead if they did. 2 of 3 camera sensors go even further(uw and main) on x200u

                        raditz594, 05 Mar 2025Let's be real bro, it's a blessing in disguise th... moreim fairly confident in my looks and i think most people look beautiful in their own ways, if they love themselves that is, so i dont really care if they post their selfies or not.

                        And even apart from beauty, what selfies, or cameras in general, are used for is the capturing of a moment. Imagine going out with your family or friends and not even feeling like using the selfie cam on your phone because it's a Chinese one. The X100 Ultra has reached a point where I can confidently say it's good for capturing photos/moments.

                        Besides, just because they aren't Samsung/Apple doesn't mean that these companies can't create excuses. The lack of an awesome selfie cam is indeed a major flaw and one these companies brush aside because they want you to just focus on the rear cam but these are Ultra phones with Ultra prices, they should be able to do it all. It's not like they have chargers in the boxes, micro sd card slots, earphones in the boxes or even a headphone jack as a supplement for all these. As a result, the phone should be as complete as possible.

                        In the end im just a consumer, and i dont care about the companies at all, or if they suffer in terms of profits or not as they all get some or a moderate amount of profit, otherwise they wouldn't continue making these phones. And i'm not gonna sit back and let myself get duped. Ofc, no phone can be perfect but they're intentionally gatekeeping features either to improve em next year or to just save costs.

                        So yeah bro, i just think that a lack of a feature is a lack of a feature at the end of the day. And although in the current market these Chinese Ultras are the best phones, they still have the major flaw of not having great video consistency like an iPhone nor do they have great selfies in general, like a Samsung or Apple phone. The Oppo Reno, Xiaomi Civi and Vivo V series phones have showed that they can fit in nice selfie cams and have the means of bringing nice selfie results, they're intentionally gatekeeping their top end phones.

                            Save the good selfie cam for iphone girls

Chinese phones suffer a lot in selfie cams and i hope they can fix it within next year, Vivo has started using JN1s, hope others start using this sensor or even the JN5. Along with flagship ISPs and the awesome processing these guys have, they'll make the V50 look antiquated.

I have Vivo X90 Pro+ for two years and just no phone was enough better to be a worthy upgrade, X200 Ultra seems it will be.

They should have new stabilization (cipa 5.0) and are claiming big improvements in video. Let's see if the actual results live up to the hype

                                      AnonD-814624, 05 Mar 2025ZPH is the channel name. He also has a Youtube channel and ... moreohh thanks bro i was searching on google and nobody came up lol i found him now.

                                      Hmmm i saw some global find x8 pro video samples and was NOT a fan of the videos. Idk i think the stabilization isn't as good as expected. I'm hoping the X200 Ultra and Find X8 Ultra will finally dethrone the iPhone with proper videography.
