On the evening of May 13, the vivo X100 Ultra, which has been "warmed up" for more than half a year, finally ushered in the release. It was also the last player in the Android flagship Ultra mobile phone competition in the first half of this year, and the last product to "land" in satellite communications in the domestic mainstream brand's Ultra product line.
The belated vivo X100 Ultra will officially face the competition with OPPO Find X7 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Glory Magic 6.
Although it is said that electronic products should be bought new rather than old, OPPO Find X7 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Glory Magic 6, which were released earlier than vivo X100 Ultra, are all powerful players. They are still eager to face the latecomer vivo X100 Ultra, and their strength is not inferior.
For consumers, the choice of these four models with similar performance configurations becomes particularly difficult. Next, IT Home will simply analyze the highlights of these four products to help you make a more correct and appropriate choice.
(Note: The figure above shows the release price, and OPPO Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version supports satellite communication) vivo X100 Ultra： ZEISS 200 million APO super telephoto, "camera" that can make phone calls
Sorted by the latest release time, let's introduce the latecomer, vivo X100 Ultra.
According to the official statement, the vivo X100 Ultra is "buy a camera and give away a mobile phone", so the various bright configurations of the vivo X100 Ultra are all crazy towards images.
The X100 Ultra is equipped with a 1-inch PTZ camera, and adopts vivo's exclusive precision transition technology to achieve ultra-high precision light control, and its comprehensive definition is improved by more than 20%; ZEISS T * launched the GLC nano coating technology for the first time in the coating industry to solve the ghost and fog problems at the same time. The average reflectivity of visible light is less than 0.2%; 1.5 degree hardware anti shake, and the comprehensive anti shake angle is up to 2 degrees, reaching the professional certification standard CIPA 4.5.
The 200 million APO super telephoto of the vivo X100 Ultra is even more ferocious - it has 200 million pixels, a 1/1.4 telephoto bottom, and FCD100 fluorite glass lenses with 95 Abbe numbers; Support CIPA 4.5 anti shake; There is also ZEISS APO color difference control standard, and the new ZEISS T * coating.
In practical effect, the 3.7X-20X ultra clear relay zoom of vivo X100 Ultra can achieve approximate optical quality. The vivo X100 Ultra has also customized and developed the telephoto stage function for users who often watch concerts. The self-developed blueprint image chip V3+has also customized and optimized the concert video shooting ability, and is committed to creating a super concert artifact.
The vivo X100 Ultra also brought the humanistic street camera mode, which selected five humanistic street camera focus sections of 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. After the Vivo bright colors, Zeiss natural colors, and vivo texture colors were included, the brand new black and white colors were exclusively launched. In addition, vivo X100 Ultra continues the full focus portrait advantage of X100 series, and further upgrades 85mm high pixel close-up through Zeiss 200 million APO super telephoto and vivo self-developed portrait algorithm.
The video X100 Ultra video shooting capability has been improved in multiple dimensions. It is equipped with blueprint image chip V3+, supports 4K movie portrait video, 4K 120fps video recording, 4K Dolby Vision, and even brings diving photography.
In addition to the image configuration, the vivo X100 Ultra has also reached the flagship specifications, including the same 6.78 inch 3200 × 1440 OLED hyperbolic screen of the iQOO 12 Pro, Samsung E7 light-emitting material, which supports 120Hz refresh rate, LTPO adaptive refresh rate, manual maximum brightness of 600nit, global excitation brightness of 1600nit, local excitation brightness of 3000nit, 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and 10bit color depth; Cooperate with USB 3.2 transmission and vivo office suite to achieve full link closed-loop image productivity of shooting, transmitting and viewing.
Vivo X100 Ultra is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, supports ultrasonic fingerprint identification, X-axis linear motor, and aptX Lossless. In terms of other configurations, the vivo X100 Ultra has a built-in 5500mAh battery, supports 80W fast charging, and adopts the Huanyu signal amplification system, which increases the overall signal strength by 42%.
The vivo X100 Ultra also finally supports two-way satellite communication, but this configuration is a top configuration special item with a price of 7999 yuan. In addition to two-way satellite communication, it also provides a one button professional rescue mode, one button access to the blue sky rescue team, and a rescue yellow page phone book to quickly retrieve the one button call out.
To sum up briefly, the vivo X100 Ultra is a mobile phone that is crazy about video. Especially, the Zeiss periscope telephoto is definitely the current T0 segment. It is no exaggeration to call it "a camera that can make phone calls" officially. The surrounding configuration experience is also full. However, as the last Ultra in the first half of 2024, the screen shape is still a hyperbolic screen, which is somewhat incomprehensible.
OPPO Find X7 Ultra ： The most valuable Ultra on the market, the only one available at 5K price
Although it was released half a year in advance, OPPO Find X7 Ultra is still very powerful, even facing the latecomer vivo X100 Ultra, The Find X7 Ultra is no inferior. For example, on the image, although the vivo X100 Ultra has the incomparable Zeiss 200 million APO super telephoto, don't forget that the 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, just two. If you are so ferocious, I will ask if you are satisfied!
The author has mentioned more than once that the image configuration combination of super wide-angle+wide-angle+medium telephoto+super telephoto can really realize the shooting experience of full focus section and omnipotence, because the multiple medium telephotos can just make up the "gap" between wide-angle main photography and super telephoto.
Of course, 2X or 3X ordinary telephoto lens is enough for this medium telephoto lens, and I dare not "expect" to insert a periscope, because no one has done so before, and the cost is huge. However, OPPO did. First, let's not talk about the experience upgrade brought by dual periscopes. When talking about two periscopes in the mobile phone, at least from the perspective of publicity, OPPO has won a big part.
More importantly, the 6X periscope telephoto of the Find X7 Ultra is also the longest equivalent focal length among the flagship mobile phones on the market at present - 135mm. As a comparison, the vivo X100 Ultra is 85mm, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 120mm.
Find X7 Ultra's 6X periscope can achieve the best optical performance in a longer focal length. In addition, the four cameras provide six optical quality creation focus segments, and achieve 14mm-300mm focus segment group coverage.
In portrait shooting, the Find X7 Ultra also supports the 65mm portrait focal section and the 135mm close-up focal section. Hasu's ability to look back at the portrait further brings the ability to capture the dynamic for portrait shooting.
Portrait proof in different focal sections
In terms of main photography, OPPO Find X7 Ultra launched Sony's one inch large bottom LYT-900 sensor for the first time, and also upgraded to support 25 million ultra clear pixels to be straight out, greatly improving image clarity and full of details. In terms of algorithm, the new generation of super light shadow image system and the new Hasselblad master image are blessed. Find X7 Ultra puts forward the "middle tone" on mobile images for the first time, which can achieve a sense of space comparable to the medium frame camera, naturally present the texture of various materials, and present natural Hasselblad colors.
OPPO Find X7 Ultra also brings the full focus segment Dolby video shooting experience to Android phones for the first time. The full focus segment 4K Dolby Vision HDR video recording equipped can freely call four cameras for Dolby Vision shooting, from panoramic, to half body, to close-up, to easily achieve multi camera shooting.
Not only that, Find X7 Ultra has also opened up the ability of ProXDR. Through cooperation with Dolby, OPPO Find X7 Ultra can shoot with 10bit HDR specification, and its video shooting ability is undoubtedly the flagship top level.
This Spring Festival, OPPO announced that mobile phones have officially entered the era of comprehensive AI. As the first flagship model released by the industry in 2024, it is also the first mobile phone to deploy 7 billion models on the end side. The AI computing power of the Find X7 series ranks first in Android.
Running points is not enough. The Find X7 series also brings many practical AI functions, such as AI elimination, AI call summary, AI article summary, and the new cloth assistant.
With the help of the large model capability, Find X7 Ultra has also significantly improved the definition of the telephoto of more than 10X this time, which is very suitable for outdoor scenes such as concerts. It also provides unprecedented high resolution and high quality RAW MAX format files for photos, including the ultimate ability of up to 50 million pixels, 16 bit color depth and 13 gear dynamic range, which is the strongest late artifact.
Finally, it is the support of satellite communication.
OPPO Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version provides two satellite communication modes, handsfree and earpiece. It is also the only smartphone that supports dual mode two-way satellite communication.
What must be praised for OPPO is that OPPO Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version is sold as an independent version, instead of taking satellite communication as the "standard configuration" of Ultra and forcing "bundled sales" to unnecessary consumers. At the same time, the price of OPPO Find X7 Ultra satellite communication version is still 7499 yuan, which can be said to "buy 1TB and send satellite communication".
In addition to images, OPPO Find X7 Ultra is equipped with a new generation of 6.82-inch diamond screen, with local peak brightness up to the industry's highest level of 4500nit, 510PPI pixel density, 1-120Hz LTPO refresh rate, and the display effect is transparent and vivid; Snapdragon 8Gen3 flagship chip, matched with the new OPPO tidal architecture, is equipped with 5000mAh large capacity battery, 100W super flash charge and 50W wireless AirVOOC flash charge. It supports the leading extreme cold mode, and can also be preheated and charged at - 20 ℃.
In a word, OPPO Find X7 Ultra is still very powerful, and with the ColorOS experience upgrade plan continuing, the more you use it, the better you can use it. Users have a deep understanding of this and have given it the title of "flagship of Nurturing System".
At present, the price of the Find X7 Ultra has been reduced to the 5K range, which makes it the only Ultra available at the 5K price. The only image flagship with the strongest dual periscope can be bought at the price of 5K, which is really delicious.
Glory Magic 6: Hongyan Satellite Communication, Jingang Juxi Glass
When it comes to satellite communication mobile phones, glory is of course indispensable. To borrow the official script, "Glory Hongyan Satellite Communication" is a new, better technical solution that benefits the industry without reference to precedent. Moreover, Glory will share this set of satellite solutions to the whole industry through the industrial chain. It is not difficult to see that Glory has certain technical strength in satellite communication.
At the experience level, it is understood that Hongyan satellite communication technology first solved the problem of miniaturization, reducing the chip area by 40%; The original built-in gold antenna has a performance close to the circular polarization effect of professional satellite phones, and the speed of star search registration is 5-10s faster than that of friends; A complete low power consumption scheme reduces standby power consumption by 50% after satellite connection. In addition, Glory Hongyan Communication also supports the ability to use 8-minute real-time voice or send 16 two-way SMS in the extreme low power scenario.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra: Four photos of Leica all-star, Renchejia has obvious ecological advantages
As the first Ultra product to be released among the four products, Xiaomi 14 Ultra is still a comprehensive and balanced product, which is still a choice that many people cannot avoid.
At present, all new products, such as Xiaomi mobile phones, Xiaomi laptops, and Xiaomi tablets, are equipped with Xiaomi's surging OS when they leave the factory. With the release of Xiaomi SU7, Xiaomi's "full ecology of people, cars, and homes" is officially closed, which is also the biggest experience advantage of Xiaomi products. For example, the Xiaomi tablet 6S Pro can not only control the car, but also control smart devices at home. It can also connect with mobile phones or computers for efficient collaboration. For another example, Xiaomi 14 Ultra is insensibly connected to the car phone. Common apps on the mobile phone can be connected to the car phone with a one key PIN. The tablet on the rear expansion screen can automatically switch to the original car control desktop, realizing real-time synchronization of navigation information, and freely adjusting the air conditioning, seat heating, car music and other functions.
In the image part, Xiaomi 14 Ultra is equipped with Leica all-star four cameras, achieving full focus coverage of 12mm-240mm; Xiaomi's image brain was fully reconstructed into Xiaomi AISP, fully connected to Xiaomi's surging OS AI subsystem, and became the world's first AI big model computing photography platform; It also brings a new "master start shooting" mode, which can directly produce videos with movie level sense of hierarchy; The street shooting mode also extends the support of 85mm and 135mm two classic focal sections; A new professional camera set, with a 1500mAh battery built into the camera handle, supports recharging mobile phones in emergency scenarios; Add video keys and dials; It supports the transfer of 67mm filter, and adopts the replaceable lens ring design.

In other aspects, Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a built-in 5300mAh Jinsha River battery (300mAh more than the previous generation), supports 90W wired fast charge (100% charge in 34 minutes), 80W wireless fast charge (100% charge in 49 minutes), and is also equipped with Pengpai P2 intelligent fast charge chip+Pengpai G1 battery management chip, which has an extreme endurance mode.
In terms of satellite communication, Xiaomi 14Ultra is equipped with two self-developed surge T1 signal enhancement chips, including a chip specially used for satellite communication. The official said that the receiving and transmitting performance of the satellite antenna has been improved by 21%. At the same time, compared with Mate 60 Pro, Xiaomi 14Ultra satellite has 60% faster star searching speed, 29% faster satellite connection speed, and 13% faster telephone connection speed. The official said that the indicators such as star searching, connection and call delay are obviously better than those of friends.
Similarly, for emergency communication needs in extreme scenarios, Xiaomi 14Ultra supports the extreme endurance mode and SOS emergency help mode, ensures that in extreme scenarios such as low power, touch screen failure and so on, it can still call for help through satellite communication, and also supports real-time acquisition of key vital signs data from wearable devices, which can be sent as rescue messages; It also supports electronic fence and super power saving mode, and will automatically remind you to open satellite services before entering the no man's land.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi 14 Ultra can also be equipped with satellite signal amplifier accessories at a price of 199 yuan, which can improve the satellite signal performance of mobile phones by 129% and improve the communication ability in extreme environments. It can also be used as a lens cover/antenna/mobile phone bracket at ordinary times.
Summary:
Again, there are no inappropriate products, only inappropriate prices. From the current price point of view, OPPO Find X7 Ultra has the most "cost performance". Of course, the cost performance ratio is obviously a bit inappropriate for any Ultra product. However, as the only Ultra available at the 5K price point, the price advantage of Find X7 Ultra is the most obvious.
Among the four products, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra and vivo X100 Ultra still insist on using hyperboloid, while the Glory Magic 6 Ultimate and Xiaomi 14 Ultra have been replaced with four curved screens of constant depth. To be honest, the screen shapes of the flagship computers of OV need to be changed. However, the good news is that OPPO has made changes, such as the upcoming Reno12 series, which has been equipped with a "four curve flexure straight screen" as the standard throughout the series. As for vivo, it also brings the X100s with a pure straight screen, but the contour four curve screen has not yet moved.
In the image part, the 200 million APO super telephoto of the vivo X100 Ultra has no competition at present, but the dual periscope, the only one in the OPPO Find X7 Ultra industry, is also very ferocious in the comprehensive experience, and can be used to break with it. In addition, these two products are really insurmountable in terms of portrait shooting. Those who like to take portraits have no brains and will never regret it.
The image strength of Glory Magic 6 is now in the aspects of SLR focusing, snapshot performance and dynamic range performance beyond the human eye, while Xiaomi 14 Ultra focuses on Leica tone, street photography, and rich accessories expansion and playability experience.
In a word, the four products are all players with balanced strength, with a particularly adequate budget. They like photography and photographing. If they do not rely on the brand ecology, they should choose vivo X100 Ultra.
The budget is not particularly sufficient, so OPPO Find X7 Ultra with obvious price advantage is quite appropriate. After all, this is the only Ultra that can be bought at the most valuable Ultra/5K price on the market.
Dependent on the brand ecology, the Glory Magic 6 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra are suitable for you.
In pursuit of product reliability experience, high-end design, eye care, system connectivity experience, etc., we choose the Glory Magic 6 Ultimate. As a member of the whole family of Xiaomi people and cars, you can directly start with Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
