    Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition Charging test : https://youtu.be/YMNzS5KC6fo

    At some point, it reaches 54.9 celsius (130.82 fahrenheit) .. And ppl deny this is awful for battery. He was not even touching the phone.

    You will never see device charging at 20W at this temperature, nor fast charging at only 30 celsius.

    Not even using phones powered by 888/8g1 for gaming, you can reach 55 celsius. Not even playing Genshi.

          "The iPhone stands out as the best option for video capture"

          Was there a comparison, with detailed explanations, which I missed? - "Why?"

              Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023What about Vico X90 pro ...I was thinking about it as well. Waiting to get my hands on it for even for few hours. The main camera is very tempting, and I do care mainly about it. Another one is Oppo Find 6x PRO, but hard to tell when it will be available and I don't know if I want to wait that long.

But Nick was referring to the Zeiss/Leica modes which address the colors. And this is addressed by selecting a different filter baked in into photos and videos.

I already spoke to my friend, a Samsung rep, and tomorrow he will preorder 23ultra 512GB for me with a nice friendly discount.

                          jiyen235, 13 Feb 2023TBH ALL smartphone brands make mistakes. I don't know ... moreI have a comparison of the iPhone and Pixel. And I agree, none of those is perfect, but as for postprocessing unfortunately for me, they are much, much above Samsung. iPhone is known for overprocessing photos but it looks almost untouched compared to photos from S23 Ultra. Pixel same. After 3 days, I just gave back S23 Ultra and I'm waiting for something else. I cannot force myself to try iPhone again (had one for 1 year and didn't like the experience) and for Pixel the story is, that in my country I cannot use 5g and VoLTE with it, as operators are not registering to it phones that are not officially available in sales for those two technologies. And as our operators are slowly ditching 3g for new technologies, that would mean that in some areas I would be forced to have calls over 2g...

                            What a load of bull the note series have always been better than the iphone. Iphones are for children.

I don't know anyone which is so good that it's nearly perfect. Apple clips highlights and has some pretty uncanny results most of the time. Especially with human subjects idk why. They also LOVE to just overprocess stuff and they have some ugly ahh noise sometimes. Oneplus is mid. Vivo has the uncanniest hdr and it's just too bright for its own good. Xiaomi's processing isn't reliable, it hits sometimes but it misses so many other times that it just isn't worth it. Huawei has some weird light balancing just like apple that makes things look pretty artificial. Though their soft and low noise presentation is damn sexy, Xiaomi's would've been too if it were more reliable. Google is pretty nice but they're not the king of smartphone photography. I will say that in the US, they are absolutely goated due to their price but everywhere else they're pretty damn expensive

                                    45W charging and 1.1 hour to full cahrge is not a con?
                                    The size of it and weight its not a con ?

                                      ASL, 13 Feb 2023But if you drop it it will break, same drop with 14 pro max... moreHuawei mate 50 series do and its not a unique feature when the 14 series are using last gen qualcomm modems with no modifications. Basically any phone theoretically can use it if they decide to pay a company for the service (how apple does it i think).

                                      Also pretty sure if you use any specific company's ecosystem of apps theyll be pretty fluid and have seemless interconectivity like samsung, huawei, oppo, pixels etc (possibly not iphone level, im guessing you mean using itunes with icloud, imessage all connected etc with an ipad, an iphone and macbook with airpods sort of situation). You drop any phone on concrete without a case or it landing on its screen then good luck, even with an iphone which hasnt got the strongest protection vs some on the market.
