iPhone 15 Pro Max vs X200
It depends

Value Score: iPhone 15 Pro Max 63 · X200 64 — methodology
The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
Both displays are effectively the same class.
The X200's MediaTek Dimensity 9400 is simply the faster chip.
The X200 has the stronger camera system — same lens count, higher-grade sensors.
5,800mAh vs 4,422mAh — the X200 lasts longer between charges.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is supported until Sep 2030 — 11 months longer than the X200.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
