How to choose

  1. Start with the DXOMark score if camera performance is the priority. In this group, the range runs from 168 to 175. The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra has the highest DXOMark result at 175, while the Vivo X300 Pro follows at 171 and the two 2026 Ultra models score 170.

  2. Compare camera results with overall performance. A higher camera position does not necessarily mean higher processing performance. For example, the Huawei leads DXOMark with 175 but scores 1,395,526 in AnTuTu, while the Vivo X300 Ultra reaches 4,247,433 in AnTuTu with a slightly lower DXOMark result of 170.

  3. Check battery score and estimated operating time together. The Vivo X300 Ultra has the longest estimated battery life here at 14.0 hours, followed by the OPPO Find X9 Ultra at 13.7 hours. By comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro is estimated at 8.3 hours and has a battery score of 37.

  4. Consider practical features beyond benchmarks. NFC is explicitly listed for six of these seven phones, while IP68 or IP69 protection is available on those same models. If contactless connectivity, ingress protection, weight, charging power, or endurance matters to your use case, these figures can help separate models with otherwise similar DXOMark results.
