A.C, 13 Apr 2023Isn't that... kinda normal?Honestly I don't think so..
My previous device was Xiaomi K20 pro running Android 13 on Evo X custom rom
Every night for 7 hour sleep it ate about 2 to 4 percent!
Also my friends Mi 11 Lite 5g eats about the same every night!
My S21 Fe in on power saving mode too that I forgot to mention!
S.th is not right, I also searched a lot on Xda and Youtube, did everything people suggested, but Im not happy with my phones battery life
4 to 5 hour SOT is not enough
Hopefully Samsung did better with S23 series

      travelinjack3, 13 Apr 2023To make things even more silly, the Note 12 5G in Viet Nam ... moreUhmm... actually no, I live in Vietnam, we don't even have a Note 12 5G here. Maybe later, but there are only the 12 Pro and 12 4G.

              Redmi note 12 camera quality is very poor

                Yoedi16, 13 Apr 2023Lmao these phone using FHD screen, the lack of 2k/4k playba... moreIt's more about the higher bitrate, 1080p on YouTube can be very blocky in more complex scenes with a lot of movement. Unless you have some level of visual impairment you can clearly see the difference between 1080p, 1440p and 4K on YouTube, even on small FHD display. That's why YouTube is starting to offer "1080p Premium" for YT Premium users.

                Another interesting thing is the if the "zoom to fill" function when you're in fullscreen mode, YouTube will automatically switch to a resolution one step higher than your display. So, if you are watching a 4K video on a FHD display the resolution will be automatically set to 2K. The difference is so clear that even YouTube itself, who tries to reduce bandwidth usage on its server, does that for you.

                About the data usage: many people have unlimited data and there's thing called 'WiFi" too.

                    xiaomi have a worse quality now

                      COCONUTZ, 12 Apr 2023SD 680/685/695/4gen1 cannot payback 1440p and 4K content. T... moreLmao these phone using FHD screen, the lack of 2k/4k playback is really not important and those who buy those phone definitely wont have the internet quota to view those high resolution video. The most nitpicking comment i read lmao even my TV with FHD still crisp and clear.

                          Anonymous, 12 Apr 2023695 is 78@2.2 + 55@1.7I'm telling you what hardware recognition apps are displaying. Qualcomm is officially stating it's 1.7GHz, however every phone manufacturer can overclock those a little bit and for SD695 they do.

                            SD 680/685/695/4gen1 cannot payback 1440p and 4K content. The YouTube app will be limited to 1080p and you won't be able to increase the quality to get a crispier video.

                            Ah, they also don't support HEVC 10bit and this codec is becoming the new standard for content distributed on torrent. If you ever try to playback a video using this codec the player will use software decoding and consume a lot of the battery (2 or 3 times more).

                            As someone who watches a lot of media on the phone that's a very negative aspect about these SoC.

                                These devices are for me and my close ones so I can assure you that Samsung is bad on standby too!
                                All of them eat about 7 to 12 percent per night!
                                Wifi off, nfc, bluetooth, gps off..
                                All set to 2G!

                                  Phones in 2023 still launching with Android 12 when we're waiting for Android 14 hmmm the joke is on Xiaomi

                                    In Indonesia this phone not launched, now we know the reason because in the same price range we have a better Poco X5 with Snapdragon 695

                                        Anonymous, 12 Apr 2023Motorola has always been popular. Not really, Motorola was only somewhat popular among the tech nerds like us. Most of my friends had no idea Motorola was even producing phones in the G5-G8 era. They upped their marketing significantly in the last 2 years.
