First impressions matter, and the X24 Ultra delivers. The titanium yellow finish is eye-catching, and the phone feels premium in hand – not too heavy despite that massive 6800mAh battery.

The 108MP camera is the star here. I took sunset shots that looked like professional photography, and night mode actually works (unlike some flagship phones I've tested). The 6.8" display makes everything pop with vibrant colors.

Performance is buttery smooth thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. I played Genshin Impact on max settings while streaming music – zero lag. The dual SIM capability saved me during international travel last month.

Battery life is insane. After a full day of GPS navigation, social media, and camera use, I still had 40% left. The 20W charging isn't the fastest, but with this battery capacity, you won't need to charge often.

Two minor gripes: The phone's width makes one-handed use tricky, and it doesn't support mmWave 5G (only sub-6). But for under $600 unlocked? This might be the best value flagship killer I've tested this year.
