oppo or other bbk brands likes to put virtual ram to advertise their products. which it does not do anything. midrangers started to ditch the sd, 3.5mm. like the nothing phone 1 for example.

          Apple in September:

          Introducing the new iPhone 14 (well not really. The chip is the same, the refresh rate is the same, cameras are mostly the same, screen protection is same, also the battery. But hey, it's the new iPhone)

            The Flip, 25 Jul 2022All that power, too bad the OS is still useless. If Apple d... moreYou call the os useless, and then cite an inability to ‘emulate games’. Perhaps the limitation is your own imagination dude, I personally find iOS meets all my needs quite nicely, but then I don’t spend all my time trying to turn it into just another gaming device.

            It’s sad really that all people can think to do with devices these days is ‘game’. I swear one of these days I’m gonna gift someone a toaster only for them to try to ‘game’ on the bloody thing 🤦‍♂️

              Anonymous, 25 Jul 2022Still newer chipset did not change the endurance. Iphon... moreLol, that's not how efficiency works. I mean, it can, but I don't know anyone who would utilize it this way. You're arguing your point by throwing performance entirely out the window and only comparing power consumption. A15 is several levels faster than A8. Like several many levels. Yet it's consuming about the same power in the end (for the sake of comparison), but at the same time performs significantly faster. What does that tell you? That's efficiency. They could also go the route you're expecting it to go, but that wouldn't make much sense, to have A8 Bionic performance with power consumption that would make phone last 2x longer. Sure, but it would still be pretty useless as A8 is showing its age quite a bit now.

                      The screen does not take every 60 frames to display. It takes the latest one made at the time of refresh. So even if a display is only at 60Hz, you're getting a newer frame each time the display refresh rate. If you watched the video I linked you, you'd know that. But you've just showed that you're ignorant and proud of it for the sake of bashing Apple.

                      Again, obviously 120Hz is better than 60Hz. But we're not talking about that. As you yourself said, and I quote, "better GPUs doesn't matter if half of the models are locked at 60hz." Factually untrue. I'm going off of your own "arguments" here, and they're completely false. Since you're obviously determined to stick to your ignorance, I think I'll leave and have discussions with people who know what they're talking about.

                        Iphone 6 = A8
                        Se3 = A15

                        7 generations ahead. If the 20% improvement was actually true, then SE3 should now last 3,6x longer than iphone 6 even if all other components were equal.
                        I highly doubt someone out there is getting about 10h-11h SoT out of SE3 while making calls, using messengers, emails, camera, youtube, social networks, listening to music etc ..
