Vivo has released the X500 Pro Max, a new flagship that borrows several features from its X300 Ultra, including the same periscope telephoto camera, a 1440p 144Hz OLED display, 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, and a 7,800mAh battery. It runs a MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chip rather than the latest Snapdragon, and is priced at roughly €1,799 ($2,000).
Android Authority's Robert Triggs tested portrait photography on three flagship phones, examining how each handles skin tones, facial detail and background blur. The Pixel's portrait mode offers a simple zoom-based interface with a default 2x setting, plus finer manual controls for exposure, white balance and blur strength than its rivals provide outside their Pro modes.
A hands-on comparison tests the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max, which uses a triple 200-megapixel camera system, against Google's Pixel 11 Pro XL, which gained upgraded main and ultrawide sensors plus a larger 5x telephoto lens this year. The reviewer finds the two phones' main cameras produce very similar color, detail, and low-light results despite OPPO's much higher on-paper resolution and sensor size.
Amazon is selling the REDTIGER ZP1 Telephoto and Wide Dash Cam for $165.98, down from its $239.99 list price, a discount of $74 that matches its lowest recorded price. The deal requires an active Amazon Prime membership, which shoppers can obtain through a free 30-day trial.
Leakers Digital Chat Station and Ice Universe report that Huawei's Mate 90 Pro Max will have a special edition variant supporting a detachable external camera accessory. Unlike telephoto extender lenses used on rival phones, this add-on reportedly has its own 1-inch sensor with continuous optical zoom from 24mm to 240mm (1x-10x) and an aperture ranging from f/2.0 to f/4.5.
Apple's new foldable, the iPhone Duo, priced above $2,000, comes with just two rear cameras: a 48MP main sensor and a 48MP ultra-wide, both branded 'Fusion' for software-driven versatility. It omits a dedicated telephoto lens and skips the variable aperture feature found on the iPhone 18 Pro, relying instead on cropped shots from its high-resolution main sensor for a '2X optical quality' zoom.
