2) both phones can easily have same screen, vivo may not feel useful to go beyond values screen is able to put. These stuff can be controled by software.

For years Find X and OnePlus had same screen, despite price difference that was about €200-300

But even then, the X100 pro is 1.5-2x the GT5 Pro's price, I think it'd be expected by consumers to get a better display yk? Bragging rights? Peace of mind that you've got the best rn? That's one of the key attractors for flagships yk.

      Aierlan, 02 Jan 2024Vivo group of companies and OPPO group of companies operate... moreyes but BBK's companies mostly get the same stuff so that they can reduce costs yk? Why else would they have such similar specs and stuff. It's not because each phone is perfect but to have less costs. I just found it weird that a flagship killer has a better display than an actual flagship. I'm guessing they're saving the best for the X100 Pro+

          Same old story

          Marketing: phone charges at X watts
          Reality: speed never reaches vale advertised, but 20-30% lower peak

          Marketing: 1920 and 2160Hz foickering
          Reality: 120 or 240 Hz according to notebookcheck tests

          Marketing: 4500 nits
          Reality: peak of 2700 according to D.M

          Anyway, the imporant is to make clients believe the numbers.

            jerem06, 02 Jan 2024Too bad for the video part... Perhaps an improvement via a ... moreDont hold your breath. Realme is notorious for not improving the cameras on their phones with updates after launch. Basically, what you got out of the box is the best the phone will ever get. You should actually hope the phone wont get worse from subsequent updates because that is something Realme frequently do to their flagships.

              jiyen235, 02 Jan 2024How in the world does this phone have a better display than... moreVivo group of companies and OPPO group of companies operate independently. Both have separate staff, management r&d teams, completely different factories and different software. BBK is just a holding company. The companies would be making their own design choices

                Neither the 2x nor the 6x use the high resolution of the sensor to improve their result. What a way to waste that hardware. Thus and with the very bad ultra angular they have left distance with respect to the true flagships).

                  Too bad for the video part... Perhaps an improvement via a future update? Apart from that and the average (and not very useful) ultra wide angle, it's a very good smartphone for the price

                      jiyen235, 02 Jan 2024How in the world does this phone have a better display than... moreOEMs can control brightness the way they want.
                      Remember how nothing changed it throught update?
                      How sony doubled value without using newer screen?

                      Easy to limit max brightness.

                        Same old same old
                        No Netflix HDR, in this case, it's even worse
                        60 fps cap for games
                        Seems like they don't wanna change at all.

                          jiyen235, 02 Jan 2024How in the world does this phone have a better display than... moreStatistically better ONLY, we are at diminishing returns with screen brightness

                          You can't experience a +200 more nits difference

                            LYT-808 not have stacked architecture like LYT-T808. There two different sensors: LYT-808 1/1.4" which named Imx966 from earlier leaks and T808 with double layer transistor and 1/1.35" size with 1/1.43" crop. You can search information about that in weibo. There naming confusion

                              Something is soggy and fishy with the performance comparison section

                              ROG Phone 8 Pro.. 8 gen 3

                              That phone isn't even put yet did the gsmarena team leave a place holder in by mistake

                              Are did someone go to a new year's party and didn't get any sleep

                                What you want more for 500 euro? Ultrawide is a problem. How many ultrawides have you taken? :D 10,100,1000 ?

                                  Good phone for the price! :)

                                    Anonymous, 02 Jan 2024When they start to use many cheaper parts to decrease value... moreRealme is not the only Chinese manufacturer

                                      Not bad, but I'm a bit disappointed in the telephoto, since it has the same hardware as the X6 Pro with a better ISP (the ultrawide is expectadly bad)
                                      The iQOO 12 is the better deal, it may be a bit more expensive and you have to give up wireless charging, but it's the more complete package overall

                                        And again you were tricked by Sony's renaming campaign (or you intentionally did this). This LYT-808 has nothing to do with LYT-T808 a.k.a IMX888... It does not have the same stacked technology...
