Xiaomi 17 Ultra
HPE (1/1.4", 200MP) periscope and new lens group
Engineering prototype with a minimum aperture of F3.0± and a maximum aperture of F2.3± within the variable focal length range
Let's analyze based on the available information
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra uses a 1/1.4" HP9 sensor at 100 mm (4.3×) with f/2.6. Since the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will use the same-sized 1/1.4" HPE sensor, we can use the 15 Ultra’s f/2.6 at 100mm as a reference—aperture scales proportionally with focal length
The ratio between f/3.0 and f/2.6 is 3 ÷ 2.6 ≈ 1.15
New focal length: 100 mm × 1.15 = 115 mm
Xiaomi 15 Ultra: f/2.6 @ 100 mm
Xiaomi 17 Ultra (long end): f/3.0 at 115 mm
The ratio between f/3.0 and f/2.3 is 3 ÷ 2.3 ≈ 1.30
Short end focal length: 115 mm ÷ 1.30 ≈ 88 mm (DCS gave approximate f-numbers, so round to 85 mm)
Thus, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra periscope should span roughly 85mm (3.7x) with f/2.3 to 115mm (5x) with f/3.0 using continuous optical zoom

Samsung is dropping the 3x telephoto from the S27 Ultra
It's mainly because Apple switched the iPhone 17 Pro series to 4x—now that 4x sits right in the middle, keeping separate 3x and 5x modules doesn't make sense anymore

S26 Ultra will offer 24MP mode in both auto and portrait
S25 Ultra only gets 24MP in Expert RAW, sticking to 12MP in auto
With the leaked faster aperture on S26 Ultra, 24MP in auto mode becomes possible without shutter speed issues—unlike S25 Ultra, which still struggles even at 12MP

HONOR Magic8 Ultra
As previously mentioned, only one "Ultra-large" version was available before the Spring Festival (Xiaomi 17 Ultra is tentatively scheduled to be released in the 4th week of December)
HONOR Magic8 Ultra won't be available that quickly
The OV50R 50MP 1/1.3" LOFIC ultra-large sensor main camera still needs further refinement
The engineering sample also tested the ceramic-like battery cover
It's also the industry's only device with 3D face recognition + 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
The goal is to achieve the largest capacity battery among the Ultra models, which are expected to feature batteries of around 7000mAh
Among the upcoming Chinese Ultra models, the HONOR Magic8 Ultra is the only one that will feature a 1/1.3″ main camera sensor. Xiaomi will use a 1" sensor, while vivo and OPPO will use 1/1.12" sensors for their main cameras

The new front camera sensor of the OnePlus 15 is a significant improvement
OnePlus 13 - IMX615 (1/2.74" 32MP 0.8µm) with fixed focus
OnePlus 15 - IMX709 (1/2.74" 32MP 0.8µm) with auto focus
IMX709 is technologically more advanced because it uses an RGBW pixel structure instead of the IMX615’s standard RGB Bayer pattern. Thanks to the added white pixels, the IMX709 captures 60% more light, which directly results in 35% lower noise in photos compared to the IMX615
Under the same operating conditions, the IMX709, built on a 22nm process, consumes 30% less power than it would on a 40nm process, giving it the best power-to-performance ratio of any flagship front camera sensor
For comparison, the OV50Q — the main camera of the Xiaomi 17 and HONOR Magic 8 Pro — is built on a 40nm process, whereas the IMX709, the front camera of the OnePlus 15, is built on a newer 22nm process. For comparison, the LYT-828 is also built on 22nm technology

Speaker rankings for the Xiaomi 17, vivo X300, Find X9, and HONOR Magic8
So, if we had to rank the individual hardware components, it would be roughly like this: HONOR, due to its open cavity design, can't be directly compared to conventional single-unit designs
Note that vivo X300’s top speaker is a multi-vendor solution based on the 1012D specification
Top speaker: Goertek 1014E > Goertek/AAC 1012D > AAC 1012H
Bottom speaker: AAC 1510 > Goertek 1115X > Goertek 1115P

Currently, it seems that OPPO's and Vivo's imaging strategies are very similar: both are pushing 200MP 1/1.12" main cameras, and they're not considering continuous optical zoom for telephoto lenses for the time being
