  • Huang said the Ultra will open a wider camera-performance gap over the X500 Pro Max, signaling imaging as the flagship model’s main differentiator.
  • Core hardware has already been finalized, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, with the phone expected to carry a larger battery closer to the X500 Pro Max.
