In the competitive smartphone arena, “Ultra” has become the ultimate badge of honor—showcasing a brand’s most advanced flagship with cutting-edge imaging capabilities.
Yet cramming high-performance camera components into slim devices remains an engineering challenge.
The inevitable protruding camera modules have evolved into an industry signature,
particularly as manufacturers push boundaries with medium, telephoto, and ultra-telephoto lenses that must obey the unyielding laws of physics.
This reality has made the symmetrical “Oreo” camera design the go-to choice for brands prioritizing aesthetic harmony.

Xiaomi 15U stormed onto the scene first, rocking a nostalgic “Mi-Leica” design that turned heads.
OPPO Find X8 Ultra countered with its striking flat display and signature button, maintaining that distinctive Apple-inspired flair.
Then came vivo’s X200 Ultra—dubbed “Thanos 2.0″—making a dramatic entrance while boldly flaunting its imaging supremacy with the eye-catching “V-Single” branding.

Three radically different Ultras, yet initial impressions based on thickness and weight have left many tech enthusiasts second-guessing!
The real measurements tell the surprising story of “who’s packing extra bulk and who’s keeping it trim”—
The X200 Ultra’s unexpectedly sleek profile (for an Ultra device) has now been verified. But the burning question remains: can its camera performance truly match the extraordinary hype?

I never realized how much of a balancing act it is to design these ultra-thin phones with such advanced cameras. It’s interesting to see the data testing breakdown—it really highlights the challenges manufacturers face. The “Oreo” design does seem like a practical solution, though I can imagine it might still catch on surfaces. Definitely gives a new appreciation for what goes into these gadgets!
