    Im going to buy a new phone in December (gonna have to save up 1st). Hoping this one would be out by then and with an international OS like the Funtouch 15 of Iqoo 12.

      Not much of a downgrade to be honest.

      I still have the IQOO 12 and it's a good phone, I would recommend getting one if you're tight on the budget.

          Also isn't recent Chinese manufacturers shifting to the Silicon Carbide Battery Tech? That also kind of explains the reason for the downgrade in Charging Speed (if we actually call it a downgrade since it probably doesn't make a lot of difference, maybe 5-10 mins at best)

            Not a big deal given the much larger battery. The screen will be the biggest upgrade over the iqoo12 but a much better 2k screen probably from BOE instead of visonox. Rear cameras though will also get a major downgrade to the main sensor and telephoto

              The Android Freak, 08 Oct 2024But it's good decision in my opinion. One Plus 10T wit... morewhy would u say that it s over kill or u just have no idea
              i have an infinix zero ultra which charge s full from zero
              in 21minutes or perhaps a minute or two faster keeping
              in mind that the phone is totally off while being charged
              but would still prefer a faster charging speed if possible

              !

                Nobody will notice in rl

                  With the addition of IP68 Support for the IQOO 13 will Force other Phone Brand to make a significant improvement for their High End series because that's where the IQOO is competing.

                    Anonymous, 08 Oct 2024Downgrading to at least 100w?, probably is due new battery ... moreBut it's good decision in my opinion. One Plus 10T with 150Watt charger was overkill in my honest opinion. One Plus 12 at 100Watt is great charging solution. With bigger batteries, it's going to be awesome combination.

                      Anonymous, 08 Oct 2024Downgrading to at least 100w?, probably is due new battery ... morelarger batteries take up more space and generate more heat to charge i think and have less space to dissipate heat, which is why larger batteries have slower charging.

                      Case in point :

                      Red magic 9 Pro which has a 6500 mah battery that charges at 80W and
                      Red magic 9 Pro+ which has a 5500 mah that charges at 165 W.

                        Anonymous, 08 Oct 2024The maker is just cutting costs. That 100W is still fast.They will not be able to understand that

                          erodhika94, 08 Oct 2024Thanks to TSMC who just increased the cost for manufacturin... moreHow can TSMC have competition when they have Uncle backing them up with sanctions?

                              Thanks to TSMC who just increased the cost for manufacturing the chipset so snapdragon 8 elite cost more. In other hand, the OEM who want to use it, has these 2 option:
                              The product become more expensive
                              Or downgrade / remove something from the product so the cost will remain the same as it's predecessor
                              This is why I hate monopoly. TSMC need more competition

                                Downgrading to at least 100w?, probably is due new battery techonology is optmized at 100w tops and not above.

                                  Probably because there are infinitely more smartphone fires happening these days compared to those handful Note 7 fires a decade ago. There has even been fires on airplanes, which is a fairly big problem.
