Dec 11, 2025

Huawei introduced four major flagship products at its global launch event themed “Unfold the Moment.” The new lineup includes the Mate X7 foldable phone, FreeClip 2 earphones, WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN Royal Gold Edition, and the MatePad 11.5 S tablet. The company said the launch reflects its continued focus on user needs and meaningful innovation.

Mate X7: Slim Foldable with Flagship Imaging

Huawei’s new Mate X7 takes inspiration from the “Time-Space Gate” concept and a 1,600-year-old light-woven brocade tradition. It comes in Brocade White (nano fiber finish) and Nebula Red or Black vegan leather options.

The Mate X7 is Huawei’s first slim foldable to match the imaging standards of a regular flagship phone. It includes a second-generation True-to-Color Camera with 43% better color accuracy, an Ultra Lighting HDR Camera, an Ultra-Wide Camera, and a Telephoto Macro Camera. It supports 17.5 EV Ultra Lighting HDR Video, helping it capture detailed shots in bright and low-light scenes.

To improve durability, Huawei uses its Ultra-Reliable Foldable Architecture, featuring Ultra Durable Crystal Armor Kunlun Glass, Advanced Precision Hinges, and a 3-Layer Composite Ultra-Tough Structure. For performance, it includes a 3,550 mm² SuperCool VC + Graphene cooling system and a 5,600 mAh battery for all-day use.

FreeClip 2: Open-Ear Earphones (Upgraded AI Audio)

The Huawei FreeClip 2 earphones feature an ear-clip design meant to provide open-ear comfort while doubling as a stylish accessory. Each earbud weighs only 5.1 g, making it easy to wear for long hours. Color options include Blue, White, Black, and a new Rose Gold finish for global markets.

The earbuds use dual-driver units for clearer, more dynamic sound and an NPU AI processor that offers 10× better computing performance than the previous version. They are rated IP57 for dust and water resistance and deliver up to 38 hours of total battery life, including the charging case.

Huawei Watch Ultimate Design – Royal Gold

WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN: Royal Gold Edition

Huawei also introduced the WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN Royal Gold Edition, which blends luxury materials with rugged performance. The watch features a rare-earth purple ceramic bezel, 18K gold details, a zirconium-based liquid metal case, and a purple-gold titanium alloy strap.

The watch includes features for deep-sea divers, such as an advanced waterproof system and sonar-based underwater communication. It offers stronger connectivity with an upgraded antenna, AI noise cancellation, and precise navigation thanks to the HUAWEI Sunflower Positioning System. It also supports eSIM communication and includes the TruSense system with X-TAP technology for more accurate health tracking.

MatePad 11.5 S: Tablet With a Paper-Like Display

The new MatePad 11.5 S is designed for creators who need both clarity and comfort. Its PaperMatte Display improves on traditional matte screens by keeping visuals sharp while reducing glare and eye strain.

The tablet comes with an M-Pencil Pro stylus and a magnetic keyboard for writing, sketching, and productivity. Huawei Notes provides templates, brushes, and creative tools, while GoPaint now includes new animation features for bringing drawings to life. For video editing, Wondershare Filmora adds shortcut key support, and WPS Office delivers PC-level document, presentation, and spreadsheet capabilities.

A User-First Approach

Huawei said this new portfolio highlights its goal of building warm, human-centered connections with users worldwide. Under the theme “Now Is Yours,” the company aims to help people embrace meaningful moments through technology.

This allows drivers to pay before reaching the exit gate and leave faster. Xiaomi is also adding an option to disable the inner indicator light while charging and has included several stability fixes.

Participation requires applying through the Xiaomi Community App under the internal testing section. Approved users will be added automatically to the dedicated beta group.

Registration is open from December 11, 16:00 to December 12, 16:00. The testing period runs from December 13, 15:00 to December 19, 24:00. Xiaomi expects to push the new beta version before 15:00 on December 13.

Xiaomi’s first AI Glasses were introduced in June at a starting price of 1999 yuan. The device weighs 40g, supports prescription lenses, and is available in multiple frame designs. It includes a 12MP first-person camera for photos and video recording, with support for video calls and live streaming through third-party apps. The glasses also feature open-ear stereo speakers and a five-microphone system for voice pickup.

Other features include 2K 30fps video recording with EIS stabilization, 0.8-second quick capture, integration with Xiaomi phones for seamless camera switching during calls or streaming, and support for 14 major apps. The electrochromic lenses can switch tint levels in 0.2 seconds with four adjustable stages.

The glasses use the Qualcomm AR1 chip paired with a low-power audio processor, offering up to 21 hours of standby time and typical usage of 8.6 hours. The device supports Type-C charging and includes dedicated camera and touch controls.

Vivo Switch Off Report 2025 explores digital behavior and changing family dynamics

By

Dec 11, 2025

The Vivo Switch Off Report 2025 has been released, offering a deeper look at how smartphones are influencing the daily interactions between parents and children in India. While digital tools support modern life, the findings show shifting behavioural patterns that are shaping communication, connection and family routines. The report sets the stage for understanding how families are navigating technology and what they hope to improve.

Vivo Switch Off Report 2025: Key findings on attention, dinner time and rising AI dependence

This year’s Switch Off Report highlights dinner time as the most dependable opportunity for families to connect, with many children saying conversations improve when phones are put away. A significant portion of parents and children acknowledge that habitual phone checking during shared activities weakens dialogues and reduces emotional presence. The study also notes a steady willingness among families to adopt small adjustments such as reducing notifications or choosing offline moments to feel more attentive and present.

Another major shift identified in the survey is the growing reliance on AI among children. With parents perceived as increasingly busy, many children turn to AI tools for learning, creative tasks and at times even companionship. This behavioural shift has led some children to speak less with their parents, raising questions about how families can balance digital support with meaningful human interaction.

The study shows that children and parents relate to smartphones differently, with children using their devices mainly for entertainment while parents are more prone to micro checking throughout the day. These interruptions often disrupt the flow of conversations, affecting how children perceive their parents’ availability.

Despite these challenges, the findings reveal a shared aspiration among families to reduce interruptions and create predictable phone free spaces that encourage warmth, openness and deeper engagement. The Switch Off initiative continues to emphasise the value of stepping away from screens to reconnect with what truly matters.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra sparks excitement as blind pre-orders begin

Dec 11, 2025

Xiaomi’s next big camera-focused flagship seems to be getting closer, and offline stores are already stirring up interest. Several Xiaomi retail locations have reportedly started taking blind pre-orders, hinting that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra may arrive earlier than expected.

Xiaomi Home store staffs pushed out messages about a 100 RMB “refundable pre-order” for an upcoming annual imaging flagship. Given Xiaomi’s usual release cycle — and earlier leaks — it’s almost certainly the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.

The phone is expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and ship with HyperOS 3.0. The global version will also support satellite connectivity, which keeps users connected in remote areas.

Leaker @SmartPikachu recently claimed that a major imaging flagship from “a certain manufacturer” would show up before New Year’s Day, somewhere between December 15 and 25. That lines up almost perfectly with Xiaomi’s new blind pre-order push.

There’s also movement on the accessory side. A new Xiaomi device with the model number 25125PS17S passed China’s 3C certification on November 19. According to @DigitalChatStation, this product is a new professional photography handle — one that also doubles as a power bank. It’s reportedly an exclusive accessory for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and the first to be certified alongside the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The 100 RMB deposit is refundable, a tactic phone makers often use to measure hype before a major launch. And with the 17 Ultra expected to lean even harder into photography, imaging fans seems to have plenty to look forward to.

Satellite support on the international model adds another layer of appeal for travelers and outdoor users. Combine that with the latest Snapdragon flagship and the 17 Ultra looks like a strong year-end flagship.

Vivo X200T’s India launch timeframe leaks

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Dec 11, 2025

Vivo may have already pushed the X300 series into global markets, but it looks like the company still has one more device lined up from its previous generation.

A phone called the Vivo X200T was first spotted in an IMEI listing back in November. It has surfaced again through a new leak, revealing its possible launch timeframe for the Indian market.

A report from SmartPrix suggests that the X200T is expected to launch in India toward the end of January 2026.

The publication refers to the phone as a “mix of the X200 and the X200 FE.” Instead of being a direct successor or a budget variant, the X200T might be between the best of the previous two flagships.

Right now, the leak doesn’t tell us much about actual specifications. There are no details on the display, processor, cameras, or battery. But the report suggests that Vivo might reuse the compact design of the X200 FE while pulling in most of the core hardware from the standard X200. Until more concrete information appears, it’s probably best to treat all of this as early speculation.

There’s more coming

Apart from this, Vivo is currently working on X300 Ultra as its most spec-ed phone for 2026. Unlike the Dimensity 9500 chip powering the X300 and X300 Pro, the Ultra model is rumored to carry Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.

Its camera hardware could include a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB periscope telephoto camera.

Another device, the Vivo X300s, is reportedly an upgraded take on the standard X300, likely featuring the upcoming Dimensity 9500 Plus chipset.

For now, the X200T remains the most mysterious of the bunch. But with the launch window approaching, we’ll probably see more leaks fill in the gaps soon.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 60W power adapter quietly appears online

Dec 11, 2025

A new Samsung 60W power brick has surfaced quietly on the company’s official website, opening the door to speculation about what this unexpected listing could mean for future Galaxy flagships. While the South Korean tech giant has not made any official announcement about the device, the product page of the new charger mentions all its key specifications and features. This power brick may power up the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra at 60W speed.

Why this new charger hints at the Galaxy S26 Ultra

Last month, Android Authority highlighted evidence from early One UI 8.5 that referenced new charging levels beyond Samsung’s existing Super Fast Charging and Super Fast Charging 2.0 profiles. These have traditionally corresponded to 25W and 45W limits on current Galaxy models.

The presence of a new fast charging tier in the leaked code implies a higher charging class is in the works, and this aligns closely with Samsung’s fresh 60W power adapter listing. The combination of both developments has fuelled speculation that this accessory could be intended for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, potentially marking Samsung’s first step into faster wired charging since the S20 Ultra.

Samsung 60W power adaptor specifications

The EP-T6010NBEGWW charger supports up to 60W through PD 3.1, with both PDO and PPS modes available for compatible devices. Samsung highlights low standby consumption, with figures below 5 mW, and the adapter includes protection against overheating, overcurrent and short circuits.

It is also positioned as a universal Type-C charger suited for smartphones, tablets, wearables and even Galaxy Books. The listing confirms Super Fast Charging 2.0 compatibility with newer Galaxy devices, although the higher wattage further strengthens speculation that this charger is part of Samsung’s next-generation charging solution.

Dec 11, 2025

Motorola is expected to unveil the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra in the coming weeks for the global market. This same device is likely to get rebranded as the Moto X70 Ultra. So far, the rumor mill has been leaking its details in bits and pieces. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Bald Panda, has revealed more details about its display, chipset, camera setup, and color options

Moto X70 Ultra specifications (rumored)

According to the tipster, the Moto X70 Ultra will be equipped with a 6.7-inch flat OLED panel that offers a 1.5K reoslution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be one of the early adopters of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

To recall, the device was recently spotted with the said chipset, 16GB of RAM, and Android 16 on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. At present, there is no information about the battery size and charging capabilities of the device.

The leak claims that the X70 Ultra’s rear camera setup will have a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

Apart from previously seen Black and green shades, the X70 Ultra is also expected to arrive in a Bronze option. Previous reports have claimed that it will be a slim and lightweight device. It is also rumored to carry support for a stylus.

As mentioned above, the X70 Ultra is expected to get rebranded as the Edge 70 Ultra globally. However, reliable tipster Evan Blass claims that Motorola may not launch the handset under the Edge branding. Instead, the company could reposition it as the first model within a new Motorola Signature lineup, signalling a refreshed identity for its premium range.

A launch timeline is yet to be confirmed, but expectations suggest that the Moto X70 Ultra / Edge 70 Ultra will debut in the first quarter of 2026.

Realme has officially announced Luma Color Image as the foundation of portrait imaging on the new Realme 16 Pro series. Developed with tuning support from TÜV Rheinland, the system is designed to handle skin tones, lighting and colour reproduction with greater precision.

The Luma Color Image Lab recreates varied real-world lighting environments such as warm indoor scenes, dim cafes or vibrant mixed-light setups, allowing the imaging pipeline to be adjusted more accurately.

Instead of treating illumination and color as separate processes, the new approach matches them in a coordinated way, producing more consistent skin tones, depth and atmosphere. Realme claims the output offers richer detail, lifelike shadows and a closer match to natural light behaviour, enabling users to capture more emotive portraits in everything from outdoor sunlight to neon-lit nightlife.

Dec 11, 2025

The OnePlus 15R Ace Edition has been confirmed in a striking Electric Violet finish. It is nothing but a vibrant colour variant that will be sold alongside the 15R’s other colour options. Here’s a look at its design.

OnePlus Ace 15R Ace Edition revealed

The new Electric Violet variant joins the earlier Charcoal Black and Mint Green models, but this edition stands apart due to its redesigned rear panel. The phone features a fibreglass back with a refined coating that creates a subtle Ace pattern embedded into the surface, giving it a character that aligns with the device’s gaming-inspired identity.

OnePlus is positioning this edition as the ideal pick for users who enjoy a visually bold device with a unique texture and finish. This variant looks identical to the violet edition of the OnePlus Ace 6T, which is exclusively available in China.

In terms of specs, OnePlus has already revealed that the OnePlus 15R has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip and a massive 7,400mAh battery with 80W charging. The brand has also confirmed the inclusion of the DetailMax Engine, a feature previously introduced with the flagship OnePlus 15, aimed at improving clarity and overall visual output.

The OnePlus 15R’s screen will support a 165Hz refresh rate, making it suitable for gaming. It will feature the Plus Key button and run on ColorOS 16-based Android 16. When it comes to durability, the device will offer an IP66/68/69-rated dust and water resistance.

The OnePlus 15R is scheduled to go official on Dec. 17 in India. The same event will also see the arrival of the OnePlus Pad Go 2, a budget-friendly tablet with 5G support. The company will also announce the OnePlus Watch Lite, but at present it is only meant for other markets and not for India.

Ayaneo unveils Pocket Play gaming phone with classic slide design and built-in full controller

By

Dec 11, 2025

Ayaneo has officially unveiled its first smartphone, the Pocket Play, a device designed to merge mobile convenience with console-level gaming. The company describes it as a phone infused with the soul of a handheld console, and it shows.

The Pocket Play features a classic side-slide structure that reveals a full-function physical controller hidden beneath the display. The internal layout includes a D-pad, ABXY buttons, shoulder triggers, and dual analog sticks. Ayaneo has also added dual smart touchpads, which users can configure as either virtual joysticks or standard touchpads. Players can customize control schemes based on their individual preferences.

Ayaneo is positioning this device as more than just a smartphone. The sliding mechanism transforms it into a horizontal handheld console, offering an ergonomic grip and controller layout that rivals dedicated gaming handhelds. The sliding action uses a smooth mechanical design aimed at delivering a satisfying tactile experience.

The concept draws clear inspiration from the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, which launched in 2011 with a similar sliding controller layout. However, the Pocket Play perfects the sliding mechanism and puts a stronger focus on the overall design. It also follows Ayaneo’s signature minimalist aesthetic.

Ayaneo has not disclosed any specifications for the Pocket Play yet. Details about the processor, display, battery, and software remain unknown, and the company has only said the device will launch soon. Even the Kickstarter campaign page lists no technical specs at this stage.

The launch of the Pocket Play marks the return of a sliding smartphone form factor, which has largely disappeared from the market in the past decade. Recent retro-style handhelds like the Anbernic RG Slide have explored the concept in the handheld gaming space, but Ayaneo is the first to integrate this format into a smartphone with modern design and full mobile functionality.

In related news, Ayaneo has recently launched the Pocket DMG Silver Limited Edition with the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 chip, and the company has also unveiled the Pocket Vert with a 3.5-inch LTPS LCD, a dual-mode hidden touchpad, and a 6000mAh battery.

Poco M8 Pro stops by FCC ahead of global launch

Dec 11, 2025

Poco’s next mid-range phone is getting closer to launch, and its latest stop is the FCC. The Poco M8 Pro, which is widely expected to be a rebrand of Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 15 Pro+, has now cleared US certification ahead of the global launch.

The device showed up under the model number 2510EPC8BG, with the “G” suffix confirming it’s a global variant. The device is seen running the HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15. The connectivity option includes support for 2G through 5G networks, Wi-Fi 6E, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth, and NFC, which has become standard across most Poco devices.

As for the battery, the FCC filing confirms the Poco M8 Pro will feature a 6330mAh rated battery (model number BM6J). Its adapter is modeled MDY-19-EX and is rated for 100W of power.

The listing also hints at three storage configurations: 8GB RAM with 256GB storage, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB.

To top it off, the phone has also been spotted in an IMEI database, where both the model number and the Poco M8 Pro name are mentioned together. This further confirms the launch is near.

Poco M8 Pro: What to expect

Poco M8 Pro’s previous spotting on Xiaomi codebase with a model number similar to Redmi Note 15 Pro+ hints that the two phones will share many of their specs.

To start off, you can expect an AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The phone could be powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, and feature a 200MP rear main camera coupled with an 8MP ultrawide. The front has a 32MP sensor for selfies.

Other specs include an in-display fingerprint scanner, dual speakers with a Dolby Atmos rating, and an IP68 rating.

12th-gen iPad leak points to big performance upgrades in 2026

By

Debasish

-

Dec 11, 2025

Apple’s entry-level iPad might finally get a notable bump in specs next year. A new leak suggests the 12th-gen model — expected in 2026 — will pack several upgrades that bring it much closer to the iPad Air than before.

According to a report spotted by MacWorld, Apple is preparing to use the 3nm-based A19 chip in the base iPad, the same one present inside the standard iPhone 17. The 11th-gen iPad uses the 4nm-based Apple A16 Bionic, so this would be a major jump. The leak also claims the tablet will move from 6 GB to 8 GB of RAM. That alone could open the door for advanced on-device AI features, which are currently limited to the iPad Air and iPad Pro.

Storage probably won’t change this round, since Apple already bumped it with the 2025 version. But the new iPad is said to include Apple’s N1 wireless chip, which adds support for Wi-Fi 7. That would make the entry-level iPad feel a lot more modern and bring it surprisingly close to Air-level networking performance.

Apple launched the iPad (2025) in March, so the 12th-gen model would normally land around the same time in 2026. However, ongoing memory shortages could push the release back. And with memory prices climbing, a price hike for the new iPad wouldn’t be surprising either.

If the leak is accurate, the 2026 iPad could be one of the strongest upgrades the base model has seen in years — faster chip, more RAM, and newer wireless standards, all without jumping to the Air or Pro. For budget-conscious buyers wanting something that still feels current, the 12th-gen iPad might end up being the sweet spot.

Dec 11, 2025

In 2025, the smartphone market experienced a transformative shift, successfully blending mature hardware foundations with the promise of widespread artificial intelligence. This convergence prompted manufacturers to abandon experimental features, concentrating instead on core user experiences: advanced software intelligence, dramatically enhanced camera systems, and the long-awaited arrival of high-capacity battery technologies.

GizmoChina Best Global Smartphones of 2025

Here are the best global smartphones of 2025.

1. Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max

Apple didn’t reinvent the iPhone in 2025, but it perfected it. The iPhone 17 Pro Max combines the raw performance of the new A19 Pro chip with a durable new brushed aluminum unibody and a smarter camera setup. The new triple 48MP camera setup introduces a tetraprism telephoto lens with 8x optical zoom and a larger sensor for better detail in low light.

Battery life is better than ever, reaching up to 37 hours of video playback, and Apple’s new vapor chamber cooling system means the device stays cool under load. The 18MP square front camera is a first, making it better suited for wide-angle video calls and Center Stage framing. This is the iPhone that feels the most complete and the most Pro Apple has built yet.

2. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung defined the Galaxy S25 Ultra by its intelligence, effectively positioning it as the smartest device of the year. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the phone prioritized practical on-device AI over novelty. Features such as Call Transcript, expanded Circle to Search capabilities, and the productivity-focused Now Bar became essential tools for daily workflows, proving that AI could be more than just a buzzword.

Despite the software focus, the hardware remained formidable. The camera array, anchored by a massive 200MP main sensor and upgraded periscope lenses, delivered reliable photography across all lighting conditions. Samsung further enhanced the device’s value proposition by committing to seven years of Android and security updates, ensuring the S25 Ultra remains a viable investment well into the next decade.

3. OnePlus 15

OnePlus returned to form in 2025 by building one of the most technically aggressive phones on the market. The OnePlus 15 delivers a blazing-fast 165Hz AMOLED display, a 7300mAh silicon anode battery, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite chip cooled by a 5731mm² vapor chamber. Everything about it screams speed, from 120W SuperVOOC charging to 3200Hz touch sampling.

But it’s not just brute force. OnePlus added smart AI features through OxygenOS 16 and Gemini integration, plus new image processing modes like DetailMax and Clear Burst for better portrait and low-light photography. For power users and gamers, this phone hit all the right notes in 2025.

Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL succeeded by prioritizing software smarts over raw hardware specifications. The proprietary Tensor G5 chip was engineered specifically to handle heavy AI workloads directly on the device. This enabled unique features like Camera Coach, Magic Cue, and Auto Best Take, which actively assisted users in capturing better photos and managing daily tasks without constant reliance on cloud processing.

The device maintained the Pixel line’s reputation for stellar display quality and photographic consistency. By pairing this “helpful” approach to technology with an industry-leading seven-year software support policy, Google demonstrated that a flagship phone doesn’t need to be the most powerful on paper to be the most useful in hand.

Oppo made the boldest camera move of the year with the Find X9 Pro (review). The 200MP Hasselblad telephoto camera stood out in every photo comparison test, and Real-Time Triple Exposure tech brought new dynamic range to mobile imaging. Oppo’s LUMO Image Engine also kept power usage low without sacrificing clarity or detail.

Beyond the cameras, the Find X9 Pro impressed with its 7500mAh silicon-carbon battery and its slim, symmetrical design with a peak display brightness of 3600 nits. It was also one of the most durable flagships this year, with full IP69 water resistance and high-end materials. For mobile photography enthusiasts, no other phone delivered this level of control, quality, and flexibility.

Samsung’s big display highlight at CES 2026 will be Micro RGB TVs in more palatable sizes

Dec 11, 2025

CES 2026 is right around the corner, and as usual, TVs are expected to be one of the biggest highlights of the trade show. Samsung is one of the major players in this space, and a new report out of South Korea suggests that its Micro RGB TVs will be the company’s main attraction this year.

Samsung technically unveiled its ultra-premium 115-inch Micro RGB TV back at IFA 2025. However, it is not really a palatable size for the variety of audience Samsung serves.

The lineup coming to CES, however, is expected to be much more practical. Samsung is reportedly preparing a new Micro RGB TV in sizes ranging from 65 to 98 inches. The shift also means Samsung is now ready to sell these new tech-enabled TVs in actual volume.

Pricing could be close to Neo QLED TVs

Pricing remains a mystery, but ET News reports that Samsung is internally planning to keep the Micro RGB models as close as possible to its Neo QLED lineup.

For reference, the current 75-inch 8K Neo QLED retails for around 6.2 million won (roughly ¥29,800 RMB), while the 85-inch versions are priced between 8 million and 15 million won, depending on the configuration.

Yong Seok-woo, who leads Samsung’s Visual Display business, hinted at this direction during IFA 2025, saying that the company plans to launch its Micro RGB TVs in multiple sizes next year, “with pricing that will make consumers feel that this is worth the price.” Whether that claim holds up is something we’ll find out soon enough.

Samsung won’t be the only one making a Micro RGB push at CES, either. LG is reportedly preparing to debut its first model at the show as well.

Vivo X300 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro: Which Flagship Should You Buy?

By

-

Dec 11, 2025

Vivo X300 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro represent two very different visions of a modern flagship, making this comparison essential for buyers choosing between maximum hardware value and long-term ecosystem reliability. Power users, mobile creators, and camera enthusiasts will naturally gravitate toward one side, while those invested in seamless software and premium stability may prefer the other. Understanding how these devices differ helps buyers decide which flagship truly aligns with their priorities.

Prev Next

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel

Both phones lean heavily into premium materials, but they deliver different personalities. The Vivo X300 Pro feels more futuristic with its armor glass finish and subtle curves, giving it a refined, camera-centric identity. The iPhone 17 Pro, on the other hand, maintains Apple’s minimalist confidence with its Ceramic Shield build and polished aluminum frame. Apple’s tighter ecosystem integration gives its design a sense of familiarity that many buyers trust, while Vivo’s hardware-first design approach appeals to enthusiasts who value cutting-edge protection and extras like an IR blaster.

Display Quality

Vivo’s LTPO AMOLED panel pushes brightness and color depth significantly further, making HDR content look especially vibrant and immersive. The ultra-high PWM and Dolby Vision support also appeal to users sensitive to flicker or who demand professional-grade color accuracy. Apple’s Super Retina XDR display is slightly smaller but extremely balanced, offering reliable tuning, strong HDR handling, and outstanding outdoor visibility. Its anti-reflective coating adds a layer of practicality that feels noticeably premium.

Verdict

Vivo wins on sheer display specs and visual punch, while the iPhone delivers a more controlled, polished experience with better reflectivity handling.

Buy iPhone 17 Pro

2. Specifications

Performance

The Dimensity 9500 turns the Vivo X300 Pro into a raw performance machine, especially with graphics-heavy tasks and multitasking. It feels tuned for power users and videographers who need sustained output. Apple’s A19 Pro offers superior efficiency and short-burst performance, excelling in workflows like real-time rendering, ProRes video, and complex app switching. iOS optimization gives the 17 Pro a level of smoothness that often feels more consistent under everyday workloads.

Battery and Charging

Vivo’s larger silicon-carbon battery and 90W charging deliver excellent longevity with rapid recharging that noticeably reduces downtime. Wireless speeds are equally practical, and reverse charging helps it function as an accessory power hub. Apple prioritizes thermal control and longevity, offering moderate battery endurance with safer charging profiles. MagSafe remains convenient, though slower, and wired speeds are respectable but not industry-leading.

Verdict

For power and endurance, Vivo leads. For efficiency and long-term reliability, the iPhone holds the advantage.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

The Vivo X300 Pro is clearly engineered for photography enthusiasts. Its 200MP periscope lens with a large sensor gives it a major advantage in zoom, producing cleaner, more detailed telephoto shots, especially in low light. Zeiss tuning and custom LUTs give images a cinematic character that feels more professional. The iPhone 17 Pro counters with excellent color science, reliable dynamic range, and stronger video processing, especially in ProRes, Apple Log 2, and spatial video. Its LiDAR system improves autofocus and depth mapping, making AR experiences smoother.

Selfie Camera

Vivo’s 50MP autofocus selfie camera produces crisp shots with excellent detail, appealing to vloggers and content creators who rely on front-facing quality. The iPhone’s 18MP module has a wider field of view and stronger consistency in mixed lighting, especially when combined with Dolby Vision video and spatial audio.

Verdict

Vivo dominates in zoom and detail, while the iPhone wins for video creators and those needing superior computational tuning.

4. Pricing

With the Vivo X300 Pro priced around $800, it delivers exceptional value, particularly for users who prioritize camera versatility, battery life, and high-end display tech. It feels like a flagship built for enthusiasts who want maximum hardware for their money.

The iPhone 17 Pro, starting at $1100, commands a premium based on software longevity, ecosystem integration, and superior pro-grade video tools. For users deeply tied to Apple services, the higher cost often feels justified. For everyone else, the Vivo offers dramatically better price-to-performance.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

5. Conclusion

Vivo stands out with Zeiss optics, high-end LUT support, ultrasonic fingerprint scanning, and optional satellite connectivity, giving it a toolset tailored for creators and tech-savvy users. Its display and battery system also feel more advanced.

The iPhone 17 Pro excels in ecosystem coherence, spatial video, UWB Gen2, and industry-leading pro video formats. Emergency SOS via satellite and secure Face ID give it a strong reliability factor that many premium buyers appreciate.

Verdict

Choose the Vivo X300 Pro for value, camera versatility, and cutting-edge hardware. Choose the iPhone 17 Pro for ecosystem benefits, video creation, and long-term software stability. Both are elite flagships, but the Vivo offers more for the money.

According to multiple industry sources and the above JD listing, the Win label replaces the previously expected GT 2 and GT 2 Pro names. Listings circulating on retail platforms in China have shown the Win series accompanied by the term “super performance dual flagships”, reinforcing expectations of two models arriving together.

Recent reports have suggested that the base model will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite, whereas the higher version will pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It appears that both devices have appeared with model numbers AAK-AN00 and AAP-AN00, along with a 100W charger, on China’s 3C certification platform in the recent past.
