Week seventeen was bustling with phone announcements. First up is the OnePlus 13T, the latest compact flagship from OnePlus. It features a 6.3-inch display and an impressive 6,260mAh battery—almost 1 amp for every inch! Powering it is the Snapdragon 8 Elite, alongside two 50MP cameras on the rear, one wide and another with 2x zoom capabilities. The OnePlus 13T was launched in China, with prices starting at CNY 3,399 ($446), and sales kick off on April 30.
The vivo X200 Ultra has also made its debut in China. Like the OnePlus 13T, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite but comes with a slightly smaller 6,000mAh battery. When it comes to cameras, the vivo X200 Ultra replaces the 23mm 1-inch main camera with a 35mm 1/1.28-inch sensor. The 200MP zoom lens has been enhanced with a brighter f/2.3 aperture, while the ultrawide camera maintains a 14mm f/2.0 with a large 50MP 1/1.28-inch sensor. Vivo will offer an optional teleconverter, which adds an extra 2.35x zoom, bringing the effective focal length to 200mm.
It seems the vivo X200 Ultra will be exclusive to China, with a starting price of CNY 6,499 ($900/€775).
