Once more gsmarena fails to mention some things that are crucial for many people especially outside China like in europe.
Its not all about who has the superior hardware that only matters.
Samsung phones are so popular because
-they have the best software support on android side,something that gsmarena keeps not mentioning all the time.
-also Samsung has way better customer service/support compared to Vivo
-another positive for Samsung is that they have the best Android ecosystem so far
-and last but not least for those enthusiasts out there, Samsung phones as usual have the best resale value on the android market.
Oppo and Vivo havent the best availability in Europe,compared to Asia.
I mean check the accessories for each company for example. You can find tons of screen protectors and cases for Samsung phones, but very fiew for companies like Oppo and Vivo in Europe.
Not to mention that Samsung phones also get a lot of discounts,compared to Oppo and Vivo.
All in all, a great device by Vivo but nothing too exciting like most other flagships these days.
All these photography focused phones without microSD cards is hillarious btw.

77, 26 May 2022I have a Sony_pro-i, it uses double copper cooling chambers... moreSeems like you "forgot" to log into your account for that earlier post. But why you always mention what you own and how much it cost? :D Are you trying to "impress" people on the web with that, or what is going on? Nobody else here does that, but you. Here; I typed this on a mechanical keyboard that I built, it cost me around 370 euros. You didn't ask what I own, but I still told you a meaningless piece of information.

This might be the only smartphone with a Quad Bayer camera sensor that can come close to the Sony Xperia 1 Mk4 in terms of photo quality. I do see some oversharpening effect when viewed under 100% zoom, but it doesn't do enough to fully ruin the overall quality. I am definitely curious to see what the Pro+ variant can offer.

sold phone but as all chinese brands,this has no chance selling with price range of apple and samsung flagships. no chance at all. they have to be 20% in order to attract steal customers. otherwise,there will be no competition.

Some phones released this year are quite heavy handed on the saturation so would be nice to have the option to adjust it before clicking the picture like there is on this phone

Didn't lose any camera software or something? Like earlier xperias used to do.

My S22ultra I have custom made 3mm thick carbon fibre rear back which I paid £200
I always read your posts , you seem too know lot about cameras feutres, I learn from your posts, and. I always look forward too you posting. I gain knowledge, I'd like too learn about camera sensors

I appreciate your detailed explanation of the thermal characteristics and conductivity of carbon fibres as well as other materials though, I definitely learned something new today.

Expensive and the price continues to go up
Reduce heat, copper is expensive
fact, it is at least 40% more conductive than aluminum. This doesn’t mean that all copper heatsinks are 60% more effective than the aluminum ones. The other materials that go into the heatsink (such as plastic) will have an impact on the conductivity as well.
Gaming generates a lot of heat in your computer. If you game, then it is important to reduce heat in every place you can. This means that a copper heatsink may be the better choice for you. Most gaming computers are starting to exclusively use copper, even if it is a little more expensive.

So weird that GSMArena is literally the only website reporting that Zeiss Natural Colour mode doesn't work even though everyone else says otherwise with samples showing a clear difference in colour rendition between on and off. Is GSMArena's unit really running the latest firmware?
Anyway, it's surprising to see how much better X80 Pro handles foliage and fine textures than X70 Pro+ does, despite using an identical set of sensors for all of its cameras. I would say, just like Xperia, the sharpening is still slightly more heavy-handed than I would like and the lens quality on the main camera needs some improvement (as per GSMArena's comparison chart), but overall image quality is very solid across all 4 lenses and I like the fact that it even offers a slider that lets you adjust the saturation level in the viewfinder. Some truly neat stuff here and there.

When a material is heated it expands then shrinks again as it cools down. This can be a significant issue when tolerances are very critical. Optical systems, and micro electronics are examples.
Copper has a coefficient of 16.6 (10-6 m/m K) while carbon fiber can be as low as 0. For this reason copper has been combined with carbon fiber/graphitic materials to create a material with significantly smaller Coefficient of linear thermal expansion.
Aluminium and carbon have been tried but the mixture forms a galvanic couple causing corrosion. Copper is a better choice. Corrosion is not a problem and the actual thermal conductivity can be higher than copper alone if the carbon fiber is highly graphitic.
