Anonymous, 28 Feb 2025Ability to record in Dolby Vision is not related to sensor. You sure? I think it is. The sensor needs to support HDR video before phone makers can offer it, no?

    Anonymous, 28 Feb 2025S25 is not thicker it’s thinnerWhen I read from this article that the Galaxy S25 is 1mm wider than the iPhone 16e, I got interested for a second. Then when I checked, it's actually the other way around- iPhone 16e is 1mm wider than the Galaxy S25. They should edit that part and make the corrections.

        Anonymous, 28 Feb 2025Nah. It's custom made, and can record Dolby Vision. So... moreAbility to record in Dolby Vision is not related to sensor.

          This phone can't stand in the same sentence with s25 for the same asking price.

            829€ for the 256Gb model here in Germany ARE. YOU. FOR REAL???? That is almost the same price as the OnePlus 13, more expensive than the OnePlus 12 from last year which also is better in every way and only 100€ cheaper than the Puxel 9 pro. And those are just 3 alternatives that I quickly looked up. You really have to be the biggest Apple sheep to even consider paying so much for this, even on contract

                vik457, 28 Feb 2025It's more similar to jn1 than jn5 I say and jn5 is qui... moreNah. It's custom made, and can record Dolby Vision. So, I think it has in-sensor HDR; we just don't know which kind.

                  700 eur phone with 60Hz screen. I mean, I can justify this in iPhone 16e, because it's "e", but this in iphone 15 or 16... it's just a mockery.

                    Snapdragon 695 hater, 28 Feb 2025Let's be real. GSMA will critique this phone but magic... moreGiven that the vanilla 16's got a 4.0, that's highly doubtful. Let's not be reactionaries for no reason.

                      Review a potato next. I mean this whole new category of review units should be similar.

                        Anonymous, 28 Feb 2025If the ISOCELL JN5 can produce good photos, this one can. ... moreIt's more similar to jn1 than jn5 I say and jn5 is quite different from jn1 due to it having d-vtg

                          Let's be real. GSMA will critique this phone but magically the review score will end up being an undeserving 4.5

                              It's bigger in size.

                                  Too bad the new trend is gonna be thin phones ( less than 6.3mm) instead of single cameras

                                      Reesta68, 28 Feb 2025Even here in the UK that doesn't seem that cheap; if y... moreupdates will nuke battery hard.

                                        i really like the design of this phone and it should've been 600 dollars for a 256 gb model or 500 dollars for a 128 gb model, but considering the fact that it's Apple, you get a top tier chip, nice videography and long term software support, is it really that bad? I mean it's the cheapest iPhone and it's not like the UW cam of the iPhone 16 Plus is all that helpful, the bezels on that phone are ugly and thick still and the only helpful change i'd say is the removal of the hideous notch for an ugly dynamic island.

                                        Idk man for an average person this seems like a decent buy. I mean it's Apple, if anyone expected a good deal/value the fault is on them for being delusional. Apple's greed is only outclassed by Samsung and now Google.

                                        EDIT: I JUST SAW THE MAIN CAM'S SIZE, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS. THIS SUCKS. I'D RATHER BUY A GALAXY A14 FOR THIS MONEY
