Our verdict

A 200MP IP68 mid-ranger that finally pairs a flagship-grade camera with three years of Android upgrades.

Pros

  • 200MP main sensor with OIS and a genuine 8MP ultra-wide
  • IP68 water and dust resistance, rare at this price
  • Three OS upgrades plus four years of security patches

Cons

  • Charging dropped to 45W and battery is barely over 5000mAh
  • Dimensity 7300-Ultra is a sidegrade, not a leap, over last year's chip
Best for: Buyers who want a durable, camera-led phone they can keep four yearsBest for: People who shoot a lot of outdoor photos and want detail to crop intoAvoid if: You rely on very fast top-up chargingAvoid if: You want the longest possible support window in the lineup
