Bro X8 Ultra Is better, for camera and that is an ultra model, even if it is an older model but it is better, it has more features being Ultra, AnTuTu doesn't really matter, also because I saw 2 who reviewed X9 pro, which has Dimensity 9500 but gives micro lag, and X8 Ultra I will have in a few months.
