X100 vs 14 Ultra
It depends
Too close to call outright

Value Score: X100 64 · 14 Ultra 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.
Performance is a wash — same chip tier.
The 14 Ultra has the stronger camera system (4 real rear lenses vs 3).
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
The 14 Ultra is supported until Feb 2029 — 3 months longer than the X100.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
