Even with it off, they know where you are! Better get a big brim Blue hat on to hide from those dews.

          All úhones have low resale value only apple thinks its something because they sells even low end midranger specced phones for price of android ultimate flagship. 16 plus good example. 1300 eur for a phone worth not more than 250-300 eur.

                        Oneplus camera is a real disappointment. Worse than S24u, worse than X200 pro (from youtube comparisons).

                          I would have guessed the narrative would be quite different if this was coming from a Chinese SoC.

                              Great. Another reason to avoid Qualcom Snapdragon chipsets and only buy Mediatek Dimensity. I hope they don't this crap.

                                Far better SoC
                                Larger, and arguably better battery. This allows the phone to be smaller, thinner and lighter.
                                Brighter, better screen (not by much, but it is also LTPO 4.1)
                                Ultrasonic Fingerprint Reader
                                Better telephoto lens (although slightly worse ultra-wide lens). But this shoots in 8k30 compared to 8k24, if you even care. Better more capable front camera.
                                And of course, better speakers.
