Of course. So they could have used a bigger sensor size on the main lense and as usual no real upgrades to the other sensors or lenses....
Wow....over 4 years later they finally go back to 256 base but still not 12 ram base....
Somehow I feel the s24 won't move a revolution either but people that finally took the dive on the 23 are going to miss out on something with the 24. Besides a faster chip or higher mp main camera.

No one in Europe or India should buy Samsung till they respect us. In USA it is 20/30% cheaper. Before they did the stupid same price in €/USD, and now they do even cheaper in USD. No sense. (and for years we got worse chip)

ASL, 13 Feb 2023But if you drop it it will break, same drop with 14 pro max... moreiMessage seamless what? When you message Android users with iMessage, it uses SMS.

The resolution difference is about 23%. The iPhone 14 Pro Max also has a very slightly smaller screen. And obviously, the SoCs and OSes are different.

You cant downscale 10K to 8K unless hardware can record 10K for example.

Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023Obviously, no 4:3 ratio sensor can be used fully for video... moreWell actually that is what happens. But the downscaling does not happen from the full sensor width, but from a cropped region roughly 12900 pixels wide.
So probably 8k and 4k Video are both downscaled from a 12900x7256 sensor pixels.
The resolution might be different from 8k to 4k, due to the different sensor readout modi using pixel binning.

2) different OS
3) not full of junk running background
Apple chips do not need to push for basic tasks, like many android phones even using cores A78 for basic tasks cores a55 can do alone.

Darknoor, 14 Feb 2023I hate how popular tech reviewers over-sell this thing when... moreWhen a reviewer gets a review sample they are obligated to spin a positive review with only contrived "cons" allowed that first needs to be "OK'd" by the vendor. If that raises a huge red flag then it is exactly as bad as you think it is.
If you dont play ball with the unethical tactics by vendor you get on their bad side and face bans in the future for review sample on day one, which means lost clicks/views for influencers. This how vendors get the influencers in the their pocket's
This is a huge problem in the reviews process in the tech industry. The best way out of this is to not accept a free review sample. Buy the product yourself and then post your honest review but this also means you are not going to get them sweet first day clicks/views. In which case you need to innovate to differentiate from the rest of the day one review content to stand out.

Anonymous, 14 Feb 2023If it is 54 outside, inside is way hotter Inside does not equal the battery. Here are two examples of fast charging and temperature effect.
Example 1:
Take a phone that can handle 55W of wired charging. If you use it with a quickcharger of 18-35W that uses the BMS of the phone it will be hotter than if using a 55W charger that uses the charger's BMS. Simply because the better solution generates more heat outside of the phone, as well as the time it takes.
Example 2:
You have two phones, one being the same 55W charging capable as mentioned above, with a design solution that very effectively transfers the battery heat through the display, as well as having a battery that is split into two cells.
The other one not supporting 55W charging at all and solely using onboard BMS and max 25W charging of it's single battery cell. Which phone do you think will get the hottest battery, and for the longest. I'll give you a hint, it's the single cell max 25W charging one.
It is to supply 25W to it's single cell for much longer than the 55W who splits 27.5W into each of the smaller cells of the first one. The in dual cell 55W this causes less heat to build up from both the charging itself, the reduced charging time, as well as the external BMS and the likelyhood of a phone is this battery caliber to have better solutions in place for heat transfer from the battery as well.
Smartphones are no different from other devices when rapid charging. Having a superior solution (battery chemistry, dual/multiple cell, external BMS, graphene etc.) means that one can both charge faster and strain the battery less then a competitor with a worse solution.
This is why manufacturer X can have a battery that should retain 80% of it's capacity after 1600 charging cycles on a fast charging device, whilst manufacturer Y is down to 80% after only 500 charging cycles on a much slower charging device.
Also, the rated 55, 65, 100, 120W etc isn't constant. It is just the peak.
Again, the same as other fast charging devices - including cars.
Key phrase: "Charging curve"

Anonymous, 14 Feb 2023I'm not a troll. You are. I see you make comments and ... moreListen here, I'll take slightly worse battery life with much, MUCH faster charging over insignificantly superior battery life with slow, prehistoric, 25W charging.
Cameras? Wut? Vivo for photos, and Samsung for video recording. I've been saying this since forever but go ahead and ignore this fact.
I keep my phones for a year (max), so why should I care about software support? The Vivo has been getting updates frequently thus far though, so there's that.
As for stylus, not everyone finds it useful... For me it's a gimmick but eh.
