        Neu, 03 Oct 2023Paying this much money for a 60Hz screen just ain't it.Try scrolling on a 120hz android Vs 60hz Apple and tell me if you can see the difference.

        Yes, it's not 120hz iOS Vs 60hz iOS for a reason...

                  Claudesp33d, 03 Oct 2023Why the multiple reviews of the same phone? It's called marketing

                    S23+ is more like the competition for this device. But yeah, since S23 Ultra price has dropped, it's now the best bang for your buck.

                      The battery test is not accurate because it scored exactly like the regular 15. But the battery lasts even better than 15 pro max.

                        I've followed GSMarena for many years, this is the first time I've doubted their numbers and their review.... Every other tester on youtube and websites show the Iphone 15 Plus outperforms the 15 Pro Max in terms of battery... and I was confident you guys would give a rating in line with everyone else but only GSMarena is showing otherwise, either your tests are flawed or you're pushing a different Agenda.

                        Come on guys, you're better than this.

                          Im sorry but why again does part of this review look like some agenda pushing BS again. It might not be but how this team running the site is just confusing now, especially with certain use of language to embellish devices and very, what seems tactical, ways of presenting infomation they have gathered.

                          Battery test still needs looking at and re working because its giving false, un real life results. Also why again is the iphone only being put up against 1 xiaomi device and the rest against itself and samsung, do other companies not exist? Where are mid rangers that people buy and budget phones? (if someone wants the best battery phone and a budget phone can give then double the battery life then they need to know this) why no moto phones, oneplus, oppo, more xiaomi? I want info that shows me a clear indication of how the battery performs and against as many comprtitors from a variety of companies (even if it makes the compeitiors look worse, we need un biased/un subjective reviews and they clearly arent).

                          This problem runs in to the charging portion, wont show any device that can beat its charging except a galaxy phone, you even put a sony flagship in the mix which we know charge slow. Why wasnt this same sony phone in the screen brightness or battery test yet specifically in the charging section? (instead of filling most catagories with just last gen iphones, only 14+ and 14PM should be in it tbh at beet case) Why again is the samsung phone being shown to essentially be the only "compareable" device to an iphone, it just looks like manipulation of infomation.

                          The iphone 15 series can run with the best of them, we know this, without reading the review i knew the 15 plus would be a very good phone but imo too expensive (again the team need to be far more ciritical and expansive with the infomation they give for multiple markets, not just usa and Europe). Start showing this against all competitors and at the end be unsubjective and explain openly because the closing segment has been lacking massively for a while with most phones and the way certain phones get very subjective compliments and embellished vocabulary to promote devices (Pixels seriously get this a lot) its just not right anymore and shows the site slipping (no where near the standard it was 5-10 years ago).

                            It's quite surprising that Apple has toned down the sharpening on iPhone 15's 12MP output significantly - While grass and small textures still look smudged due to fairly aggressive noise reduction, at least it no longer suffers from that splotchy oil-painting effect of iPhone 14's camera that made all the textures in a photo look ugly and unnatural as hell.

                              Apple need to knock 100 off its base models and market them as entry level.

                                I dont care about the 60hz display, I just hate the fact that it comes with last year's chipset instead of just an A17.

                                  Onanymaus, 03 Oct 2023Not boding well for those looking for smaller phones. Most ... moreYeah, unfortunately smaller phones are more expensive to make as well so the cost for a similarly specced smaller phone compared to a larger one will be higher

Most OEMs will stop making sub 6" phones simply because not worth it for the low demand. Personally, i prefer phones with similar dimensions to my old Mi A3 being just the right size for me.

                                      Seriously nice-looking phone but how, oh how can you ask more than 1000 euros for a 60hz screen in 2023? In this respect we should compare it with phones that cost no more than 150 euros 🧐 Obviously cranking it to 90hz will be a huge thing next year but still...
