6.3-inch LTPO OLED, 1280×2856 QHD+, 120Hz adaptive refresh, HBM at 2,200 nits, peak at 3,300 nits. GSMArena's lab measurement: 2,351 nits adaptive in 75% lit area — 'comfortably brighter than anything that's not a Pixel — the iPhone 16 Pro is some 600nits behind.'

Vivo X300 Ultra
A 6.82-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED, now flat rather than quad-curved. Lab measurements put real brightness near 1,900 nits in auto and ~3,300 nits on a small window — among the best panels on any phone — and reviewers single out content consumption and clarity as standouts.
Google Pixel 10 Pro
50MP main f/1.7 (1/1.31" sensor, dual-pixel PDAF, OIS) + 48MP ultrawide f/1.7 + 48MP 5x telephoto f/2.8. Adds 8K cloud-upscaled video. Pocket-lint titles their review 'The best Android smartphone you can buy' on the strength of this camera system; SuperSaf's comparison vs Galaxy S25 Ultra finds night-mode struggles and video below the iPhone 17 Pro.
Vivo X300 Ultra
The reason the X300 Ultra exists: a near-1-inch 200MP 35mm main (Sony Lytia 901), a 200MP 85mm periscope, and the best ultrawide sensor on the market, tuned with Zeiss. Reviewers near-universally rate it the best-equipped camera phone of 2026 — with two important caveats: the 35mm default is divisive, and on raw image quality it's only marginally ahead of the cheaper X300 Pro.
Google Pixel 10 Pro
Tensor G5 on TSMC 3nm with 16GB RAM. Marketing claims 30% CPU and 60% TPU improvements over Tensor G4, but lab measurements put the Pro at 88% single-core, 67% multi-core, and 55% GPU performance vs Snapdragon-class Galaxy S25 Edge. UI feels fluid; sustained loads throttle hard.
Vivo X300 Ultra
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 plus Vivo's custom imaging silicon delivers flagship benchmark numbers and strong gaming, but the camera-heavy hardware runs hot — sustained stress tests show roughly 60–65% stability and the camera app warms it up fast.
Google Pixel 10 Pro
4,870 mAh battery (+170 mAh vs Pixel 9 Pro), 30W wired charging with a real-world peak of 23W, 15W Pixelsnap Qi2 magnetic wireless. Notebookcheck's lab measurement: '9 hours and 53 minutes' overall active use score — below 2025 average. Real-world long-term reports vary from 'fine, all-day' to 'sits below 30% at end of day with light use.'
Vivo X300 Ultra
Vivo grew the silicon-carbon cell 10% to 6,600mAh while keeping the body the same size. Real-world endurance is strong — ~16h active-use score, ~7h heavy screen-on, 13–14 hour days with charge to spare — and 100W wired refills it in under an hour, with 40W wireless.
