Only phone I have seen doing real macro shots with the 13-17mm cam is iphone.
Other just blur background with no magnification.

When you review the camera section, it's becoming rather ridiculous. You speak nothing of the actual image quality per shot while comparing it with other cameras (such as the iPhone 13) but focus on the camera system, and camera hardware etc. The thing which matters most at the end of the day is the end photo quality. The sensor, number of cameras, while slightly relevant, is nothing compared to the ultimate photo quality coming from the main sensor. So please focus on that from now on. The current approach is immature.

iPhone 13 series and 12 have poor standby, but it is true you will notice it more as a light user.

SShock, 28 Jul 2022Lol, no it wasn't. More like 2017, on phones with f**k... morePlease, keeping making lame excuses.
We know that when phone is very slow, people feel they need to buy a new one.
Battery thing was just excuse because Apple got caught.
Same way Samsung with lame excuses for the GOP thing (benchmarks are never restricted coincidently)

Hemedans, 28 Jul 2022Thats because of true Multitasking in Android, Agrresive An... moreVita yes becauuse it turns off wifi and turns it in standby on to check if there is anything new.
PSP on the other hand always had terrible standby
Bonus: Switch has solid standby but it depends on many factors like how strong is the wifi or if a heavy game is suspended.
3ds on the other hand has roughly 1 week of standby if you turn off its WiFi, problem is that it constantly checks for streetpass is WiFi is off and that causes terrible standby.
From experience, hacking and gaming is more of my thing tha. smartphones.

I do remember that Motorola and especially LG and Google themself didn't go the "kill everything in the background" route.
Makes me even more sad LG is gone.

I hope they released zenfone 9 lite with Snapdragon 778 with lower price.

I see the move to a side FP sensor and flat design as negatives. I also don't care for the large camera design and only two years of guaranteed updates. Given it's been released before Android 13, it will likely only receive Android 13 and 14, which is ridiculous.
