"We've rounded up a bunch of smartphones from around the world that not only carry an Ultra in their name but also provide a truly Ultra cameraphone experience. The line-up for this photo and video contest, which is unlike anything we've done in recent times, includes heavy hitters such as the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, the vivo X200 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Xiaomi 15 Ultra."
"We are looking to settle which is the best cameraphone of the first half of 2025 - something which may be a bit overdue, but we were busy churning out as many phone reviews as possible, so there was hardly a break to do this sort of comparison. This showdown is not really meant to help with your purchasing decisions; two of our contenders - the Oppo Find X8 Ultra and the vivo X200 Ultra - are not even available outside China."
"And borders and regional availability are not the only limitations you may run into if you are thinking of getting these phones. The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra finds itself in a moderately handicapped software/hardware situation as well - neither its Android core nor its chipset is cutting-edge due to US sanctions. Still, its cameras aren't lagging behind at all, and it has quickly climbed to the top of the DXO Camera ranking."
Five Ultra-branded smartphones—the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, Oppo Find X8 Ultra, vivo X200 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and Xiaomi 15 Ultra—are compared for cameraphone performance in the first half of 2025. The contest aims to identify the best cameraphone of early 2025 after many phone reviews. Availability differs widely: Oppo and vivo models are not sold outside China. Huawei Pura 80 Ultra faces software and chipset limitations due to US sanctions, yet its cameras reached the top of the DXO Camera ranking. Galaxy S25 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra offer the least software limitations and broader availability.
