Fa14bi, 15 Jul 2024I would argue that Insta, tik tok and Facebook is web browsing.As long as you're connected to the internet and using apps that require an internet connection, that's also considered "web browsing" too.

21 comments after 10 hours?
Without the iPhone in this comparison, not many people seem to care about this.

You could have mentioned the maximum temperature of each phone after or during the peaks of the tests. I was literally interested in that one piece of information as its the major annoyance for me. Also, 30 degrees Celsius does NOT represent a summer beach in most countries, at least anything between 35 and 40 degrees would have been more realistic.

Just wanted to express mz gratitude that the team is starting to do this sort of test - How Important is the peak brightness spec if it can't keep it up for 5 Minutes in the situation it was designed for.
Thank you GSM Arena teem, thought seeing an iPhone here as well would have been interesting.

On three (four if you include whatever phone they used to record the video) you mostly see cloud reflections. One one, you don't see any reflections. Obviously, there is no test to compare a core feature like that, when it probably is the issue affecting outdoor legibility the most.

Hahaha. I hate going to the beach, but taking your smartphone to the beach must be extremely pathetic. I guess GSMArena will never understand that some of us hate summer and the sun and for that reason we urgently need a dark mode for the website.

From my experience phones get really hot when you use the camera a lot, both for video and photo and then editing them. I think people would do that at the beach and want to post them then and there. The phones would reach 50 degrees

Even the midranger Poco or Motorola is litterary equal to a 1600 eur flagship from samsung what a fail.
