So I'm currently looking for a new device to act as a travel phone. I'm not planning on using it as my main device, only for when I go on vacation to another country, so I'm not planning on storing any personal data on it or use it for any super heavy tasks like gaming. The only 2 factors that I'm really concerned with are camera quality and battery life. So far, I've narrowed my search down to 5 potential candidates. But would love some input as to which one I should go with.

- Samsung S25 Ultra

- Google Pixel 9 Pro XL

-Xiaomi 14/15 Ultra

-Vivo x200 Pro

-Oppo Find X7/8 Ultra

Please note that since I live in NA, the Chinese brand phones aren't as easily accessible, so I would have to have them imported.

If there are any other suggestions for devices, I would also love to hear about those as well.

Thanks!

Thanks for replying. The reason I'm considering the chinese phone is because the camera hardware seems to be quite a bit better then the other phones. The samsung and pixel phones kinda makeup the difference with software and AI features, but I'm more interested in raw camera ability
