I heard rumors that this smartphone will use the Dimensity 8300 chipset with a 144+Hz Amoled screen. If this really happens, it will be the same as when the Meizu 21 Note was released which hit the smartphone market by destroying the target sales segment in its class.

        It literally meant a leader in the 2000 yuan smartphone category, not a flagship.

          BernSS, 15 Sep 2024True, oneplus has used but isn't the originator. I rem... morePoco F1 were flagship killer and one of best that came up to my mind.
          First one plus were impressive too.

            Anonymous, 14 Sep 2024You mean things like at least 10-bit panel?For example yes.
            Things like fast charging and support for 120W+ charginn speeds.
            Cameras equal or better tha MI 14 Ultra etc.

              Cpt.Power, 14 Sep 2024Yes and no. It can be flagship or a Flagship killer a term ... moreTrue, oneplus has used but isn't the originator. I remember back when zte axon 7 was the flagship killer. That phone was amazing, and still is one of my favorites that's I've owned to this day.

                Flagship??

                SoC must be Snapdragon 8s Gen 3

                    I Just Read, 14 Sep 2024Darlings please Google / Gemini / or old fashion dictionar... moreYes and no. It can be flagship or a Flagship killer a term wjhich Oneplus uses since a very long time. It dont need to be best just great enough.
                    And when comes to real flagships among most brands they output a lot better device than S24 Ultra in other words among all major brands Samsung S24 ultra is worst because it lacks many important things which other phones have even at half the price.

                          Clue one, it's in quotes.
                          DEFINITION: Best, largest, or most important one of a group of things. the store is the company's flagship.

                          ATM the S24 Ultra is the (24/25) Samsung flagship replacing the S23 Ultra (23/24)

                          The S23 FE was never Samsungs flagship.
                          You can label a phone anyway you want to

                          The best product you produce is your flagship
                          Like my main detractor you are not comparing like with like, the sublime and the nadir.
                          Meizu lucky 8 will never ever be equivalent to the S24 Ultra

                          Any one who believes this can be done for $280 is expecting Qualcomm to donate their SoC for free whatever phones are in the $280 this will be an indication of the specs

                          Look at what Apple's is doing to their phones in order to incorporate Apple Intelligence

                          So you can have PREMIUM and FLAGSHIP and then the opposite just "flagship". The two are not comparable
                          The same applies to phones 😆
                          QUALITY not quantity

                            IpsDisplay, 14 Sep 2024I give meozu credit here for that a symmetrical design lang... moreAs long as the camera bump is not massive imho.
                            The Nokia 7.2 is possibly the best example for the earliest modern round camera island that doesn't look as if someone stuck an analog clock at the back of the phone. I'm not saying that this design is bad, though.

                              That oneplus open design is really carrying the industry

                                280 for flagsip grade phone???
                                Anyone remember Poco F1 of the old tomes???
                                This can be the same litterary,
                                SD8s den 3 along with some squishy 200 Mpix camera or 50 Mpix ones good charging speed and big battery this phone could have all it needs.

                                  Hold on a MINUTE!!!!

                                  8 = lucky but 4= bad luck?

                                  So Two bad lucks = lucky ?

                                    Jon8652, 14 Sep 2024They really just took Honor Magic 6 Pro's design and m... moreI give meozu credit here for that a symmetrical design language it's pretty rare

                                    I'm going to bet that arrangement have some implications with vr/ar or something

                                    But as humans we naturally find symmetry more beautiful

                                      Anonymous, 14 Sep 2024I wish the same, the market was boring before LG moved, but... moreYeah. My LG Stylo 4 was my most favourite device to use. After that, not much fun. I even found my G8 that I purchased a few months ago for cheap really fun to use

                                        Where is the iconic Ring LED?
