    That snail photo off the main cam is headache inducing. They really went on hardcore in high frequency oversharpening.

      Anonymous, 04 Feb 2024LOL Android is not open source. It technically MOSTLY is open source. Not fully but it is, nonetheless

          The community agreed that benchmark wars are over in about 2014, should we still continue focusing on them so much?

            At least qualcomm makes clear that Plus is same chips with one core faster. Unlike mediatek that has many SoCs with same quad 78 + quad 55 , but name them apart to make ppl think they are any different.

              Nick Tegrataker, 04 Feb 2024A lot of people still naturally see the headline features o... moreHelio P series was very good.. Helio G is super crap.

              Chips like P20 , P25 and P30 had excellent endurance, very capable ISP compared to SD625/630/636 (except lacking of 4K, but photos had higher quality).

              If mediatek wants to make better SoC than qualcomm, just focus on everything. Faster modem with better connectivity, better ISP, able to perform more tasks per time, much higher efficiency and less power used.
              Not focus on benchmarks, which they once got cheating with few chips.

                🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Samsung going downhill 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

                1) In 2023, 50% of the revenue generated by phones sold were from iphones.
                2) Average selling price of galaxy: $288. Less people buy their expensive phones, then samsung needs to increase prices to make more revenue. And cycle keeps going.

                Just as curiosity, the ASP of other: Apple $890, Xiaomi $256, Vivo $204 and Oppo $160.

                Now you understand why best phones of BBK do not make out of China. Volume of sales is too small even in China.

                    justasmile, 04 Feb 2024Those "12-year-old kids" are smarter than people ... moreThe 12 year old kid doesn't lose money if an app doesn't work or if the developer decides your specific model is not good enough to get it. Adults should care more about stability and security.

                      Anonymous, 04 Feb 2024You made sense until you brought up the feelings. I don... moreI understand what you mean but yea, I still see Android better in terms of customizability and it being open-source but yea, apps are not the most optimized.

                        Batteri Voltas, 03 Feb 2024Messing with roms allows people to get rid of MIUI. You... moreYou do realise every phone can essentially be a pixel on android now without rooting? My find x5 is more pixel than my old 6 pro just i have more useable features and customisation options (if i so choose too make it more unique to my personal taste).

                          Anonymous, 03 Feb 2024Except ppl that read about tech, rest has no idea what is i... moreYou are right, im running sd 888 still and for everyday things its the same as the 8g3, never seen anyones phone perform any quicker or take pictures any quicker etc.

                          My lg g5 with the sd821 (quad core phone thats almost 10 years old) actually runs like a 2023/24 low end phone (doesnt lag up), just notice slightly longer load times for pictures and apps (slower storage and ram), thats vs old pixel 6 pro and my find x5 (probably about the same as a low ender so does daily tasks just fine)

                            Anonymous, 03 Feb 2024Sometimes it is even an advantage when you don't want ... moreWell DONT get a samsung or apple phone then, they are the phones you get more money for when stealing and selling. People will look for their camera and body designs and will simply ignore other brands (most casual public dont even know about the likes of xiaomi and oppo so if they see a phone they will instantly look down on them/ignorant to them).

                            That and you want a £1100 (or £50+ a month for 3 years, minimal data and an upfront cost, thats insane to go for) phone that looks exactly like the brands lowest priced phone, i mean samaungs style is plain and boring as it is (really nice colour schemes though), why we paying more for less? I wish it was mid 10s again when companies put more effort in and tried new things.

                              Batteri Voltas, 03 Feb 2024A lot of people still think of stuff like MT6580 or 6735 wh... moreWell thats stupid thinking then. That would be like going "oh when i think of AMD i think of selling consoles mid range laptop custom jaguar cored SoCs from 2011 and buldozer cpus for desktop" when ryzen is their lineup now and usually more competetive than intel with just as good, if not better core performance.

                                Anonymous, 04 Feb 2024You made sense until you brought up the feelings. I don... moreWell android is the most useful for all round purpose, ios is only really more beneficial if you are fully in the apple eco system (i know this from my mate whos a lead web dev who owns an iphone, ipad, macbook and 5k pro XDR display, otherwise android (and specifically huawei) is a far better experience, UI and about the same inter conectivity.

                                Also if we're talking about "safety" with the os then you have it completely the wrong way round. Apple has had what, 4-5 security breaches/data selling stealing over the last 10 years (latest being over the last month or 2), only people close to beint as bad is Samsung (again multiple issues with backdoor hacks of their security chip) and pixels (samsung manufacturered chip) with their web browser being closed source and essentially being spyware lol (rest of android really isnt an issue for security, ive never had an issue after 14 years on it)

                                      Where's s24 Ultra? You seriously hadn't received your unit till now, GSMArena? It's been 10 days since the phones been available!
                                      IDK if you're understaffed or sth, but I reckon clear lateness in reviews & obvious drop in review content quality.
                                      Situation's got so bad that nowadays I prefer even PhoneArena over you, and that's saying something.

                                        Anonymous, 04 Feb 2024You'd be surprised too at how many users want to get r... moreFor sure. In fact I wish more A-series phones had the possibility of running Pixel Experience

                                        plus, I'm literally running Noble ROM on an old S9, while still OneUI, it's very nicely tweaked
