All the phones on this price point should have wireless charging and IP68 water resistance,no matter who will use them or how often(or never).

Same thing goes for Sony for example and their OS Support. When other companies offer at least 3major OS android updates, Sony has no excuse offering only 2 on their most expensive flagships, no matter how many will keep their phones for 2,3,4 years etc.

    Only certificates for ulyra fast chargings are for saftey of the battery. You think that's the same as impact on battery longetivity? Hell no. Those are two different things.

    Battery saftey means it's safe not to catch fire or explode. Doesn't have anything to do with how much will battery degrade over time.

    Can you provide me that info? Because if you can then I can share it on other portals and tech sites and that news would eventually come to all users that we have a proof about ultra fast charging proof that it's okay for battery longetivity.

    I would gladly use ultra fast chargings if you give me a proof about impact on battery life. So, we need a certificate from company specialised for testing devices not what companies are advertising. That's not a proof of anything, just a marketing.

    Thanks in advance.

        Samsung cannot do this, they got some history with the flames. Sony is obviously slow all the way... Apple may just use removable batteries to make it EU friendly...

            The point of wireless charging being a must

            a)this is 2023 and expensive phones over 700(GT Neo 5 will cost around that price and more) should have wireless charging,no matter how fast wired charging they have. Same thing with IP68 and stereo speakers.

            b)people dont like carrying chargers with them. Yes constantly using a wireless charger harms the battery health, but its a convinience to have when needed.

              There is great value in fast charging. For that price, I would buy it over everything else. Especially since the other specs are also decent.

                Anonymous, 09 Feb 2023...and still they lack basic wireless charging.I'll be honest. At this point would you need it? Just plug it in for a minute and you got endurance for an hour. A few minutes more and you get a few more hours of battery life.

                  Anonymous, 09 Feb 2023...and still they lack basic wireless charging.And? Wireless charging is less efficient than wired and when your phone can go 0-100% in under 10 mins why would you need it? You dont have 5 mins spare in the day? (thats a days usage easy and a "safe" level to keep the battery topped up to)

                    It when BBK claims 800 cycles while charging at 100, 150, 200, 240W. When number of cycles is measured at 10W and battery not even inside the device.

                    Andrei F that used to work for Anantech and now works for Qualcomm (after the Nuvia purchase) was mocking a tweet from Ice Universe that was bragging about Iqoo fast charging of 200W.

                    Basically he says chinese OEMs are fooling ppl.

                          in the realme EU site the neo 3 80w is 600€, neo 3 150w is 700€, pricing is a joke in EU...

Has a fairly good imx890 main sensor (basically the best main sensor in this price category). The profit margin is already going to be very tight at this price. What price do you expect? You need to be realistic about pricing. For this hardware, this is basically as good as it gets for a launch price in China

                              Anonymous, 09 Feb 2023You seem to be underestimating the mindset of the mass consumer.I dont, because what i mention is being reflected by sales(what the mass actually buys).

                              Fast charging after 67W becomes meaningless for people to pay top dollar just for it.

                              And most Realme sales as usual come from their cheaper models.

                              Same thing happens with Xiaomi. Most of their sales come from their cheaper models(low/mid range), yet they insist on price hiking, leading to lower sales in general.

                              I mean they even promote the notification led as a feature/system seller, and ...its on the back of the phone.
                              Dear Realme, most people want the Notification led on the front screen not the back....

                                  Are the manufacturers giving the 8mp UW sensors in cereal boxes?
                                  Or are those 8mp so expensive that they can't afford an optical zoom lens?

                                    4 times the storage(~750GB) for 45 dollars? Is that even possible?

                                    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Apple charges around $100 for 256GB.

                                      Starting from $350 (in China, I can't dare to imagine in Europe) for an 8mp ultrawide. Next...
