The harder is to apply HDR.
Doing at 12/12.5 MP is easier.
HDR is why no brand wants high res bayer, like S20 had (28mm cam).

Must be fan of certain very famous youtuber...
Motorola uses 144Hz 10bit on their edge series. Screens are garbage.
Far worse than 60hz 8bit from iphone 15.
Reading specs mean nothing. Components are not equal. You are just acting like Cpt Xiaomi ( if this is not a second account) .
12GB Ddr5x ram from Samsung, Micron and Hynix are not equal.
Not same speed, not same fab process, not same enrgy efficiency.
This apply to many pieces inside phones.

rizki1, 01 Jan 2024they just need to make low end phone back, but people here ... moreTelephoto is 80mm or beyond.

Samsung S23, 23+
Apple 15 pro
Vivo X90, x90 pro
Xiaomi 15, 15 pro
Oppo X6 pro
OnePlus 11
Sharp R8 / R8 Pro

" Overall, it was a boring year, but it still gave us a few nice smartphones and I surely hope for 2024 to give us more interesting and innovative ones. I know it is a long shot, but still."
People here say this, but also complain if new stuff comes with higher price. Basically want better stuff for lower price.
Want cheaper? Stop demanding stronger SoC.
Be sure when 2nm is available, these SoC may reach or pass $200/unit.

"And while I can use the best wireless earbuds on the market on any device – the AirPods". I know this is your personal list, but come on. "Best wireless earbuds on the market on any device" is a wild, naive claim especially since you yourself admit that you are married to the apple eco system and it's too late to "divorce the iOS and its apps".

These are personal lists of favourites anyway so I don't think it's right to tell someone what should be on their personal list. If they like something, they like something and people have different preferences

I wish phones had a middle-ground image stacking option for their 50 Mp cameras, like a 25 MP shot. Xiaomi's Mi 10 Pro perfected that idea with 27 MP shots with their 108 MP camera but they seemed to have gone back on it, I don't think 50 MP shots are very viable overall but 25-ish MP shots? yes those have some image stacking and provide more detail than 12 MP shots. Apple understood this and gave the 24 MP solution, wish chinese phone makers hop on this great trend as well, AFTER THEY CREATED IT THEMSELVES smh, I just hate that they shelf such amazing trends, remember the Vivo phones with huge ultrasonic scanners? China only now, goddamn it.

I am not the one saying one phone is the better than another based solely on a gsmarena score. In your post about the Xiaomi 13 ultra you said it was the best phone of the year coz it got the highest gsmarena scores. Here you say the Xiaomi 13 pro is 'much better than the s23 ultra'. When I asked how you know you said you can judge based on gsmarena reviews and specs. However, gsmarena gives a higher score to the S23 ultra. You are completely contradicting yourself as you said you can know the Xiaomi 13 pro is much better than the s23 ultra based on gsmarena reviews which do not show that at all.

Best phones of 2023 are Oppo Find X6 Pro and N3 and the best in 2024 will be Find X7 Ultra. iPhone 15 Pro Max and S23 Ultra lost shooting battle with simple Vivo iQoo 12 haha.

Aierlan, 01 Jan 2024Sure the reviews can give you an idea but even if you look ... more"According to gsmarena (or whichever reviewer reviewed the phone for them). This is the subjective opinion of one/some of their staff. Other reviewers have different rankings. There is no 'official' phone of the year as it's all subjective and boils down to personal preference. All the top flagships are at a similar level now and different people prefer different ones"
this is what you said a few days ago. So Xiaomi 13 Ultra is the best phone. And also you could say he was also wrong for comparing the 13 Pro with the S23 Ultra because of the price.

Gsmarena is just one source of reviews but if you are going by your logic the Samsung has a higher score on gsmarena and therefore is better than the Xiaomi 13 pro. I don't agree with your logic of relying solely on gsmarena reviews and particularly their scores but based on that logic the s23 ultra would be the better phone. Ideally you do need to at least try them to make an informed judgement of which is better, at least for phones with similar specs.

The amount of too large and boring 6.78' screen phones that came out in 2023, will only be surpassed by the same boring phones coming out in...drumroll...2024.. Reviewer is spot on.

Aierlan, 01 Jan 2024How do you know when you haven't even used either of them? You don't need to, by reading the specs and reviews of the GSMArena, there is what is good and what is not. because even when we buy a phone, don't we read the reviews first?
