The quality of cameras has reached stunning heights and so have phone prices, driven by AI memory increases and expensive sensors. The vivo X500 series went global at the end of October, led by the X500 Pro Max. It features a 50MP main camera, a 200MP telephoto with 3.5x/85mm lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide, powered by the Dimensity 9600 Pro and a 6,750mAh battery.
Amazon offers a €100 voucher and the vivo Imaging Grip Kit worth €200 for free. The X500 Ultra uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, priced €200 higher than the Pro Max. The compact vivo X500 Pro features a 6.36" display and 5,300mAh battery, bundled with vivo Headphones Studio valued at €170.
Oppo flagships started global rollout earlier. The Find X10 Pro Max costs the same as the X500 Pro Max and uses the Dimensity 9600 Pro with a 7,150mAh battery and 200MP cameras. The mid-sized Find X10 runs on the Dimensity 9600 M and has a 6.59" display.
Amazon has a €820 discount for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra base model, though shipping estimates range from December 3 to January 18. The Motorola Razr Fold offers larger batteries and faster charging but is thicker and heavier than the Galaxy. For more affordable options, the Poco F9 Ultra starts under €800, with the 16/512GB variant at €850 featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a 6.9" 185Hz OLED display.
