Weekly poll: is the vivo X300 Ultra a phone that you can see yourself buying?

The vivo X300 Ultra was officially unveiled on Monday with plans to ship it in China first and expand to the global markets soon after. Yes, the X Ultra is going wide for the first time. So, are you tempted? In China, the base 12/256GB model costs CNY 7,000 and started shipping on Friday. This converts to $1,020 / £775 / €885 / ₹95,000.

At least one person in the comments appreciated the thinner...

Regardless of its name, here are some images depicting its aspect ratio when unfolded. It's 4:3, which is very far from, and much wider than, the Fold7's 1.11:1 (or 3.33:3).

vivo starts teasing the T5 Pro, confirms its huge battery

The vivo T5 Pro first surfaced in February in an IMEI database, then in March we got two separate spec leaks, and today the brand is finally acknowledging that this phone exists and is coming soon. vivo's official X account for India shared the post you can see below, calling the T5 Pro "the ultimate powerhouse".
