Suits buyers wanting a compact, light flagship with top performance, long battery life and very fast charging. Trade-offs are a high price, a modest step up from the Xiaomi 15, and weaker ultrawide and telephoto cameras.

Best suited to serious photography enthusiasts who can afford a high price and accept a bulky phone. Main trade-offs are size, high cost, and battery life that reviewers rate inconsistently. It is not officially sold in the US.
