IN PICS | iPhone 15 Plus, Xiaomi 13 Pro, More Challengers To Vivo X100 Pro

Xiaomi 13 Pro (Price: Rs 74,999) — The Xiaomi 13 Pro, akin to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, boasts a remarkable triple camera setup featuring three 50-megapixel lenses, including a massive one-inch sensor, delivering exceptional photography. With Leica lenses and additional effects, it stands out in the flagship category, complemented by premium features like a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and a 4,820mAh battery with 120W fast charging, making it a formidable competitor, recently updated with the HyperOS.

iPhone 15 Plus (Price: Price: Rs 84,900 onwards) — The iPhone 15 Plus, often overshadowed by the Pro models, introduces notable features, including a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display and an upgraded 48-megapixel main camera. With the A16 Bionic chipset, seamless iOS experience, and outstanding battery life, it presents a compelling alternative to the Vivo X100 Pro 5G for those considering a budget-friendly option.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (Price: Rs 81,000 onwards) — Despite the release of its successors, the Galaxy S22 Ultra continues to thrive in the market, showcasing its enduring appeal as part of the 'old but gold' category. Equipped with a slightly dated Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, up to 12GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage, it still efficiently handles tasks with impressive performance. The phone boasts a versatile camera setup with a 108-megapixel main sensor, overcoming initial issues through updates to deliver exceptional photography, complemented by a long-lasting 5,000mAh battery. With the added functionality of the S Pen and the ability to update to Android 14, the Galaxy S22 Ultra remains a compelling choice in the competitive smartphone landscape, especially for those willing to invest around Rs 85,000.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Price: Rs 94,999 onwards) — The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, launched last year, boasts a stunning 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with up to 12GB RAM and 1TB storage. Featuring an impressive quad-camera setup, including a 200-megapixel main sensor, 10X optical zoom periscope telephoto sensor, and a versatile ultrawide sensor, it delivers exceptional photo and video quality. Additionally, with a 5,000mAh battery, 45W fast charging, IP68 resistance, and the inclusion of the S Pen, the Galaxy S23 Ultra remains a compelling choice in its price range.

Google Pixel 8 (Price: Rs 75,999) — The Vivo X100 Pro offers a compelling photography experience, but compared to the Pixel 8, it falls short in camera capabilities. While the Pixel 8 may not boast impressive camera specs, Google's computational photography expertise ensures consistently detailed and high-quality output, making it a strong contender in the photography realm. Additionally, the Pixel 8 features Google's Tensor G3 chip, enabling smooth performance and unique smart features not found in other phones, despite having a relatively smaller display and battery.
