An Ultra camera phone in every sense of the word.
This year, we’ve seen an incredible arms race in mobile camera tech. It’s impossible to really “go wrong” with a Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, or Huawei if the main criteria you care about is photography.
The bracket for Chinese Ultras is really tight right now, but there are a handful of small refinements, new features, and accessories that just barely push the Vivo over the edge for me. This is an increasingly mature photography and video solution which continues to blur the lines between phone and proper camera.
I can’t claim it’s the objective best phone of the year, but this is my favorite Ultra of the year.
