On the evening of May 13th, the vivo X100 Ultra, which had been "warmed up" for more than half a year, finally ushered in the release, which is also the last player in the Android flagship Ultra mobile phone competition in the first half of this year, and it is also the last product to "land" on satellite communication in the Ultra product line of domestic mainstream brands.

The belated vivo X100 Ultra will officially compete with the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra, and Honor Magic 6 Ultimate.

Although it is said that electronic products are not bought old, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra, and Honor Magic 6 Ultimate, which were released earlier than vivo X100 Ultra, are all powerful players, and they are still eyeing the latecomer vivo X100 Ultra, and their strength is not inferior.

For consumers, the choice becomes particularly tricky in the face of these four models with similar performance configurations. Next, IT Home will briefly analyze the highlights of these four products to help you make a more correct and suitable choice.

(Note: The picture above shows the release price, OPPO Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition supports satellite communication)

vivo X100 Ultra: ZEISS 200 million APO super telephoto, the "camera" that can make phone calls

In order of the latest release time, let's first introduce the latecomer vivo X100 Ultra.

According to the official statement, vivo X100 Ultra is "buy a camera and get a mobile phone", so the various highlight configurations of vivo X100 Ultra are all crazy towards the image.

The X100 Ultra is equipped with a one-inch gimbal-level main camera, which adopts vivo's exclusive precision jump technology to achieve ultra-high-precision light control and improve the overall clarity by more than 20%. ZEISS T* Coating is the industry's first GLC nano-coating technology, which solves both ghosting and fogging problems, with an average reflectance of visible light of less than 0.2%; 1.5-degree hardware image stabilization, with a comprehensive image stabilization angle of up to 2 degrees, reaching the professional certification standard CIPA level 4.5.

The vivo X100 Ultra's Zeiss 200 million APO super telephoto is even more ferocious — it has a 200 million pixels, a 1/1.4 telephoto outsole, FCD100 fluorite glass lenses, an Abbe number of 95, and supports CIPA 4.5 level stabilization. There is also the ZEISS APO color aberration control standard, the new ZEISS T* coating.

In practice, the vivo X100 Ultra's 3.7X-20X ultra-clear relay zoom achieves approximate optical quality. vivo X100 Ultra also customizes and develops a telephoto stage function for users who often watch concerts, and the self-developed blueprint image chip V3 + also customizes and optimizes the concert video shooting capability, committed to creating a super concert artifact.

This time, vivo X100 Ultra also brings a humanistic street photography camera mode, which selects five major cultural street photography focal lengths: 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. In addition, the vivo X100 Ultra inherits the full-range portrait advantages of the X100 series, and further upgrades the 85mm high-pixel close-up through the ZEISS 200 million APO super telephoto and vivo's self-developed portrait algorithm.

In video, vivo X100 Ultra has multi-dimensional video shooting capabilities, equipped with Blueprint image chip V3+, supports 4K cinematic portrait video, 4K 120fps video recording, 4K Dolby Vision, and even brings diving photography.

In addition to the image, vivo X100 Ultra has also reached the flagship specifications, including the same 6.78-inch 3200×1440 OLED hyperbolic screen as the iQOO 12 Pro, Samsung E7 light-emitting material, support 120Hz refresh rate, LTPO adaptive refresh rate, manual maximum brightness of 600nit, global excitation brightness of 1600nit, local excitation brightness of 3000nit, support for 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, 10bit color depth; With USB 3.2 transmission and vivo Office Suite, it realizes the full-link closed-loop of image productivity for shooting, transmitting, and viewing.

The vivo X100 Ultra is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that supports ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, an X-axis linear motor, and aptX Lossless. In terms of other configurations, the vivo X100 Ultra has a built-in 5500mAh battery that supports 80W fast charging and a global signal amplification system, which increases the overall signal strength by 42%.

vivo X100 Ultra also finally supports two-way satellite communication, but this configuration is the top configuration with a price of 7999 yuan. In addition to two-way satellite communication, it also provides a one-key professional rescue mode, one-key access to the blue sky rescue team, and a rescue yellow pages phone book for quick retrieval and one-click call.

To sum up, vivo X100 Ultra is a crazy mobile phone, especially this Zeiss periscope telephoto, which is definitely the current T0 level, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a "camera that can make calls". The surrounding configuration experience is also full, but as the last Ultra in the first half of 2024, the screen form is still a hyperboloid screen, which is a bit incomprehensible.

OPPO Find X7 Ultra ：市面上的最值的 Ultra，5K 价位唯一能买到的 Ultra

Although it was released half a year in advance, the strength of the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is still quite strong, even in the face of the latecomer vivo X100 Ultra, the Find X7 Ultra is not inferior, for example, in terms of image, although vivo X100 Ultra has a strong and unrivaled Zeiss 200 million APO super telephoto, but don't forget that Find X7 Ultra also has the industry's only dual periscope telephoto - 3X periscope telephoto IMX890 and 6X periscope telephoto IMX858。

If one is not enough, there will be two, such a fierce pile, I will ask you if you are convinced!

The author has mentioned more than once that the combination of ultra-wide-angle + wide-angle + medium telephoto + ultra-telephoto quad camera can truly achieve a full-range and all-round shooting experience, because the more of this medium telephoto can just make up for the "gap" between the wide-angle main camera and the ultra-telephoto.

Of course, this medium telephoto with a 2X or 3X ordinary telephoto lens is sufficient, and I don't dare to "expect" to cram another periscope into it, because no one has done it before, and the cost is huge. But OPPO did do so, not to mention the experience upgrade brought by the dual periscopes, when talking about the two periscopes in the phone, at least from the perspective of publicity, OPPO has won a lot.

What's more, the Find X7 Ultra's 6X periscope telephoto is also the longest equivalent focal length among flagship phones on the market — reaching 135mm, compared to 85mm for the vivo X100 Ultra and 120mm for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The Find X7 Ultra's 6X periscope allows for optimal optical performance over longer focal lengths. In addition, the 4 cameras provide 6 optically quality creative focal lengths, achieving focal length group coverage from 14mm to 300mm.

For portrait shooting, the Find X7 Ultra also supports a 65mm portrait focal length and a 135mm close-up focal length, and Hasselblad looks back at the portrait capability, further bringing the ability to capture motion in portrait photography.

Portrait samples at different focal lengths

In terms of the main camera, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra debuted Sony's one-inch outsole LYT-900 sensor, and it has also been upgraded to support 25 million ultra-clear pixels, which greatly improves image clarity and is full of details. In terms of algorithms, the Find X7 Ultra is the first to propose a "middle tone" in moving images, which can achieve a sense of space comparable to that of a medium-format camera, and naturally present the texture of various materials and natural Hasselblad colors.

For the first time, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra also brings a full-range Dolby Video shooting experience to Android phones, with full-range 4K Dolby Vision HDR video recording that allows you to freely call on four cameras for Dolby Vision shooting, from panorama to half-body to close-up, making it easy to shoot with multiple cameras.

Not only that, but the Find X7 Ultra also opens up the capabilities of ProXDR, and through the cooperation with Dolby, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is able to shoot in 10-bit HDR specifications, and the video shooting ability is undoubtedly the top level of the flagship.

As the first flagship model released by the industry at the beginning of 2024, and the first mobile phone to deploy 7 billion models on the device side, the Find X7 series has the highest AI computing power in Android.

The Find X7 series also brings many useful AI features such as AI elimination, AI call summarization, AI article summarization, and a new Xiaobu assistant.

With the ability of large models, the Find X7 Ultra also greatly improves the telephoto resolution of more than 10X, which is very suitable for outdoor scenes such as concerts, and also provides unprecedented high-resolution and high-quality RAW MAX format files for photos, including up to 50 million pixels, 16-bit color depth, and 13 stops of dynamic range.

Finally, there is the support of satellite communications.

The Oppo Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition offers two satellite calling modes, hands-free and handset, and is the only smartphone that supports dual-mode two-way satellite calling.

What must be praised by OPPO is that the OPPO Find X7 Ultra Satellite Communication Edition is sold as a standalone version, and does not make satellite communication a "standard" with Ultra, forcibly "bundled" to unwanted consumers. At the same time, the price of the OPPO Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version is still 7499 yuan, which can be said to "buy 1TB and get satellite communication".

In addition to the image, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is equipped with a new generation of 6.82-inch diamond display, with a local peak brightness of 4500nit, a pixel density of 510PPI, and a 1-120Hz LTPO refresh rate. The Snapdragon 8 Gen3 flagship chip, paired with the new OPPO Tidal architecture, is equipped with a 5000mAh large-capacity battery, as well as 100W Super Flash Charging and 50W Wireless AirVOOC Flash Charging, supports the leading extreme cold mode, and can also be warmed up at -20°C.

All in all, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is still quite strong, and as the ColorOS experience upgrade program continues, the Find X7 Ultra is getting better and easier to use.

At the moment, the Find X7 Ultra has been reduced to the 5K segment, which makes it the only Ultra available at the 5K price point. At the 5K price, you can buy the only image flagship with the strongest dual periscopes, which is really fragrant.

Honor Magic6 Ultimate: Hongyan Satellite Communications, King Kong Giant Rhinoceros Glass

When it comes to satellite communication mobile phones, it is naturally inseparable from Honor, borrowing the official words, "Glory Hongyan Satellite Communication" is a new, better, and industry-friendly technical solution, and there is no reference precedent. In addition, Honor will share this satellite solution with the entire industry through the industry chain. It is not difficult to see that Honor does have a certain technical strength in satellite communication.

At the experience level, it is understood that Hongyan satellite communication technology first solves the problem of miniaturization, and the chip area is reduced by 40%; The original built-in gold antenna, the performance is close to the circular polarization effect of professional satellite phones, and the speed of star search registration is 5~10s faster than that of competitors; A complete low-power solution that reduces standby power consumption by 50% when connected to satellites. In addition, Honor Hongyan Communication also supports the ability to use 8 minutes of real-time voice calls from satellites or send 16 two-way text messages in ultra-low power extreme scenarios.

Returning to the image part, the Honor Magic6 Ultimate is the industry's first ultra-dynamic Hawkeye main camera H9800, and claims to introduce the industry-leading technology of autonomous driving into the mobile phone imaging system, and is equipped with an image sensor based on LOFIC lateral overflow collection capacitance technology for the first time in the industry, achieving a 900% increase in optoelectronic capacity and finally achieving a dynamic range of 15EV.

At the same time, the Honor Magic6 Ultimate is also equipped with a 1200-point LiDAR array focusing system, which supports leading 60FPS focus detection, and assists phase and contrast focusing modes to synthesize a three-in-one focusing solution to achieve a DSLR-level focusing experience.

Among the four products, another advantage of the Honor Magic6 Ultimate is stronger reliability - it is equipped with the new Honor King Kong Giant Rhinoceros Glass, and even claims to lead future mobile phones into the era of zero film.

This kind of self-confidence is indeed supported by strong technical strength: based on the second-generation nano glass-ceramic technology, the new material silicon nitride + new coating process, the crystal density is increased by 50%, and the overall drop resistance is increased by 30%, and in harsh scenes such as marble, asphalt pavement, and gravel pavement, it can also achieve a 10-fold increase in the fall resistance of the whole scene, bringing a tenfold scratch resistance.

In other aspects, the Honor Magic6 Ultimate is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a 6.8-inch 2800x1280 resolution 120Hz 8T LTPO OLED display, 16GB RAM, 512GB / 1TB storage, a built-in 5600mAh second-generation Qinghai Lake battery, which supports 80W wired charging and 66W wireless charging, and supports IP68 and Honor Hongyan two-way satellite communication.

Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra: Leica All-Star Quad Camera, Obvious Ecological Advantages for People, Cars and Homes

As the first Ultra product to be released among the four products, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is still a comprehensive and balanced product force, and it is still a choice that many people can't bypass.

At present, all new products such as Xiaomi mobile phones, Xiaomi notebooks, and Xiaomi tablets are equipped with Xiaomi surging OS at the factory, and with the release of Xiaomi car SU7, Xiaomi's "people, cars, and home ecology" is officially and completely closed-loop, which is also the biggest experience advantage of Xiaomi products. For example, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 6S Pro can not only control the car, but also control the smart devices at home, and can also be interconnected with mobile phones or computers for efficient collaboration. Another example is the Xiaomi 14 Ultra with the car machine without inductive connection, the commonly used apps on the mobile phone can be PIN to the car machine with one click, and the tablet on the rear expansion screen can automatically switch to the native car control desktop, realize real-time synchronization of navigation information, and freely adjust functions such as air conditioning, seat heating, and music throughout the car.

In the imaging section, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is equipped with a Leica All-Star quad camera, which achieves full-range coverage from 12mm to 240mm. The Xiaomi Image Brain has been fully reconstructed into Xiaomi AISP, which is fully connected to the Xiaomi Surging OS AI subsystem, becoming the world's first AI large-scale model computational photography platform. It also brings a new "Master Shooting" mode, which can directly produce videos with a sense of cinematic layering; Street mode also expands support for two classic focal lengths: 85mm and 135mm. The new professional photography kit has a built-in 1500mAh battery on the camera handle, which supports charging the phone in emergency scenarios; Added video button and dial; It supports the adaptation of 67mm filters, the design of interchangeable lens rings, and more.

The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra uses a 6.73-inch 3200×1440 resolution OLED contour screen (Huaxing C8 light-emitting material), with a local peak brightness of 3000nit, 12-bit color depth, support for 1−120Hz LTPO high brush, DC-like dimming and 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and uses a Xiaomi dragon crystal glass cover.

In other aspects, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra has a built-in 5300mAh GSR battery (300mAh more than the previous generation), supports 90W wired fast charging (100% charging in 34 minutes), 80W wireless fast charging (100% charging in 49 minutes), and is also equipped with the surging P2 smart fast charging chip + surging G1 battery management chip, with extreme endurance mode.

In terms of satellite communication, Xiaomi 14 Ultra is equipped with two self-developed surging T1 signal enhancement chips, including a chip dedicated to satellite communication, which officially says that the satellite antenna transmitting and receiving performance is improved by 21%, and at the same time, compared with the Mate 60 Pro of the competitor, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra satellite is 60% faster, the satellite connection speed is 29% faster, and the call connection speed is 13% faster. The official said that the indicators such as star search, connection, and call delay are significantly better than those of friends.

Similarly, for emergency communication needs in extreme scenarios, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra supports extreme battery life mode and SOS emergency help mode, ensuring that you can still call for help through satellite communication in extreme scenarios such as low battery and touch screen failure, and also supports real-time acquisition of key vital sign data from wearable devices and sending them with distress SMS. It also supports electronic fence and super power-saving mode, which will automatically remind you to turn on satellite services before entering the uninhabited area.

It is worth mentioning that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra can also be equipped with a satellite signal amplifier accessory, priced at 199 yuan, which can improve the satellite signal performance of the mobile phone by 129%, improve the communication ability in extreme environments, and can also be used as a lens cover/antenna/mobile phone holder.

Summary:

Again, there is no such thing as an unsuitable product, only an unsuitable price. Judging from the current selling price, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is the most "cost-effective", of course, the price-performance ratio is obviously a bit out of place on any Ultra product, but in any case, as the only Ultra that can be bought at the 5K price point, the price advantage of the Find X7 Ultra is the most obvious.

Among the four products, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra and vivo X100 Ultra still insist on using hyperboloids, while the Honor Magic 6 Ultimate and Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra have been replaced with a contour quad screen. However, the good news is that OPPO has made changes, such as the upcoming Reno12 series, which has been equipped with a "four-curved soft edge straight screen" as standard. As for vivo, it also brought a pure straight screen X100s, but there is no movement on the four-curved screen at present.

In terms of imaging, the vivo X100 Ultra's Zeiss 200 million APO super telephoto currently has no rival, but the OPPO Find X7 Ultra's industry-only dual periscope is also very ferocious in terms of overall experience, and it can completely wrestle with it. In addition, these two products in terms of portrait shooting, it is indeed insurmountable for the products of friends, and those who like to take portraits will never regret it.

The Honor Magic6 Ultimate's image prowess is reflected in DSLR-level focus, capture performance, and dynamic range performance that surpasses the human eye, while the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra focuses on Leica tones, street photography, and a wealth of accessory expansion and playability.

All in all, the four products are all well-balanced players, with a particularly sufficient budget, like photography and photography, and if you don't have too much dependence on the brand ecology, then choose the vivo X100 Ultra.

If the budget is not particularly sufficient, then the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, which has a clear price advantage, is quite suitable. After all, it's the only Ultra you can buy at the best Ultra / 5K price point on the market right now.

If you have a dependence on the brand ecosystem, then the Honor Magic6 Ultimate and Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra are for you.

If you are looking for product reliability, high-end design, eye protection, and system interoperability, choose the HONOR Magic6 Ultimate. If you are a member of the Xiaomi family bucket, you can directly get the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
