Magic 6 vs X100 Ultra
It depends
Too close to call outright
These two are within 1 point overall, so it depends on you: keep phones for years → X100 Ultra (supported until May 2029); want maximum speed → Magic 6 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3).
Value Score: Magic 6 65 · X100 Ultra 66 — 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.
Performance is a wash — same chip tier.
The X100 Ultra has the stronger camera system — same lens count, higher-grade sensors.
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
The X100 Ultra is supported until May 2029 — 17 months longer than the Magic 6.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
