Week number seventeen was quite a busy one in terms of phone announcements. Let’s start with the OnePlus 13T – OnePlus’ new compact flagship. It brings a 6.3-inch display and a 6,260mAh battery – that’s nearly 1 amp per inch! Also on board is the Snapdragon 8 Elite and two 50MP cameras on the back – a wide and a 2x zoom. The OnePlus 13T launched in China, starting at CNY 3,399 ($446) – sales start on April 30.
The vivo X200 Ultra is also official in China. It too has the Snapdragon 8 Elite and a big (but smaller than the 13T) 6,000mAh battery. Camera-wise, the vivo X200 Ultra swaps the 23mm 1-inch main camera for a 35mm 1/1.28-inch unit. The 85mm 200MP zoom was upgraded with a brighter f/2.3 lens. The ultrawide is a 14mm f/2.0 with the same, very large 50MP 1/1.28-inch imager. Vivo will offer an add-on teleconverter, which adds an extra 2.35x zoom on top of the telephoto, resulting in a 200mm effective lens.
The vivo X200 Ultra will likely remain a Chinese exclusive. It starts at CNY 6,499 ($900/€775).
Motorola unveiled the Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro, as well as the Razr 60 Ultra (known as the Razr Ultra in the States). The Edge 60 series brings a 6.7-inch 1220p p-OLED with a 4,500 nit peak brightness, and a triple camera system. The Razr 60 Ultra is IP48 rated and packs a Snapdragon 8 Elite and a larger, 4,700mAh battery.
The Realme GT7 is also official – a more affordable version below the GT7 Pro. The GT7 has a Dimensity 9400+ SoC and a mammoth 7,200mAh battery. Camera-wise, it has a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide. There’s a 16MP selfie unit on the front. The GT7 is also a China release, starting at CNY 2,600.
Both phones are available only in China.
The phones come in pretty Pantone colors and have textured backs.
They are both probably becoming official tomorrow.
Despite having a larger battery than the GT 7 Pro, this model is both thinner and lighter – and it is still rated IP69.
