Most OEMs should have patched it by now, though.

Iv checked the dxomark scores for the best cameras on their official website!
Number 1 is Huawei mate 30 pro
Number 2 is xiaomi mi cc9
Number 3 is iphone 11 pro max
Number 4 is samsung s10+5g


Thats what I mean u don't use facts! U just got caught!
And for your information, the higher megapixel doesn't always mean better photos. U read gsmarena alot and u still don't know this? Laughable!

    Lies after lies. Not just chipset but also great cameras and great batteries too. People have choices. U respect your girlfriends choice so why can't u respect other people's choices? U can't Bcuz ur just a trolling hater.

    Great camera haha. Xiaomi for 250 bucks came with 64 mpix camera. Apple for 1500 have only 12 mpix. When comes to doxmark score most midrangers beats apple phones.
    And i dont need even a proof of that. Just check the actual doxmark score for best phones.
    Apple is not even on top 20 list right now.
    Apart from chipset they have not much to atract the customers.
    Expensive price always doesnt means more or better quality and madee in china also doesnt improve the qzuality aspect.
    Most of the phones from most brands are china made.
    I am not a trolling hater i am the one who showing the truth as it is and you have no proof at all to show opposite no matter how much you try.

              Thats the major difference.
              Xiaomi selling phones with ser friendly price where apple gives flagship price even to garbage midranger. With flagship chipset but other specs as bad as any other android device worth 100-200 bucks.
              So its not i dont knw what i am saying you forcing me to act as a liar.

If you dig the Internet, the amount of Android vulnerabilities is much much more than iOS. Just showing these 2 links doesn't mean anything. Furthermore, patches for iOS are so much more promptly and available to all supported devices AT THE SAME TIME of releases. Do you know how long Android handsets have to wait for patches from different phone makers? Some can wait up to a year for patches to arrived!

                              That is pure rubbish! Gsmarena will post anything apple related Bcuz it always generates lots of comments. And apple is also very popular with iphone users and the haters too.
                              There's alot more information which gsmarena doesn't post. If it posted everything that happens then each day there would be hundreds of articles and they don't probably have enough manpower for it.
                              But ur probably just using a lame excuse to defend ur Chinese brands.

                                You know same as i do the first information comes here and from here it spread like disease to all aplicable sites who discuss phones, specs, pros, cons etc.
                                if its not here in GSM Arena ist likely doesnt exist.
                                Even xiaomi is very popular here or Huawei if problems will rise like Mate 20 rpo had green display same goes for early Pocophone F1 by xiaomi all that got fixed.
                                Since then not much has been said about Xiaomi oneplus or Huawei bugs, errors, laggs, issues etc.
                                Now you know the truth and facts how you will deal with them is your choice.

                                By the way my GF is my GF not an item that belongs to me she can do whathewer she pleases i dont foce her to anything. Thats not the way i honor and follow.

                                So again i am sorry for being irritating like a flea but i have my concerns and i would like to let people know because i am a honest person with everybody, everyone and everytime.

If battery health drops then user can activate the toolkit. And this normally happens after 2-3 years when they start to degrade. Same as android batteries
                                    Man again you are funny. My GF bought apple 11 there is no switch for what you said. That feature as apple calls it is there and have no on/off button. Its on since you run first time your devce until its dies in like 2 years because after certain updates will be crawling slow.

                                    And who says a 1500 device can't have problems? Anything can have problems like cars and houses and state of the art buildings which are much more expensive. They not created by an advanced race from a different planet but by people. Once the Huawei foldable device gets released, it may also encounter a few problems and it will also cost over 1500. We will see when it's released if it encounters any problems or not as u said a 1500 device shouldn't have problems.

                                    Yes man i agree everything come from Huamans controlled by other humans or grey eminences if you know what that is.
                                    These said humans are ruled by greed for money and power and they do everything in their possibilities to build as cheap as possible and sells for as much expensive as people are willing to pay. (Apples are made in china for 300-400 dollars and sold for 1000-1650 dollars depends on vendor and ram/disk space) Same phone made within USA where labourers earns 14-22 dollars per hour instead of 16 CNY per hour which is like 2,5 dollars would cost 7-10 times more. In our case even old Iphone 3Gs would cost 2500 at least.
                                    Anything else cars, buildings even a rockets we use to enter the space are made from many tiny screws and other material made by china, thaiwan or vietnam, cambodzia etc countries where people earns barely enough to live even a very poor life. Just an example monthly salary in Cuba is about 25 euros. In Bangladesh is less than 20. Here in Slovakia the average salary is 600 euros which is not enough for having average life but 600 in country like one of above is like being a king. So in other words most people feel poor in Slovakia will feel like rubbish in germany or Finnland with average Slovakia salary but they will feel like Richmans or Royal family members with 600 euros in countries liek Kuba, Bangladesh, Kambidia, Zimbabwe etc. Just to mention minimum pension in Denmark is 2400 euros if your grandparents earns less government gives yo the difference so you wont earn less than 2400 euros no matter what and thats Pension.
                                    (Just why every country cant be equal are we worse than others? No same humans no alien races)

                                    And ur lovely Chinese brands such as Huawei, one plus and xiaomi can have problems too. I once sent u links to all the problems found on their latest updates on xiaomi phones. U talk so much rubbish.
                                    Man you dont get it. But thats not mine problem. That called rubbish is proof of evidence. Evidence i have proof for. Its not from my mind but reeal life facts. No fiction, no illusion etc.
