I got the new Oneplus 12 with the ultra fast charger, but on something I read awhile back I choose to charge my "12" using the older Oneplus 5T charger. While the 12 is charging it lets me know that it is not using the ultra fast charging, thus it does take about 30 minutes longer to get to 100%, but it saves the battery from using that ultra fast charger.

I'm in no way an engineer or expert on this stuff, but I just follow "best practice" based on things I have read about the trade-off of using super fast charging. I would prefer my battery last many more years.

    S24 Snapdragon vs S24 Crappynos
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-eTSRngwAK0

    Video shows the variant with snapdragon wipes the floor without mercy with the variant powered by crappynos 2400.

    - photos have higher quality
    - phone runs at lower temperature (crappynos show high temperature message while doing 4K@60) , difference of 9 celsius while gaming.
    - longer battery endurance , crappynos variant turned off while snapdragon one still had 17% battery left.

      Those apps do not work properly.

        Do you expect similar endurance?

          I like the return to a flat screen, and despite the complaints I prefer the more toned down display. I'm surprised that the battery life falls short of the 15 Pro Max though, I was expecting it to be more power efficient.
          Maybe some under the menu settings need tweaking? Samsung still make the best all rounder Android phones in the world.

            The GSM low light studio shots from the main camera of both the S23U and S24U are markedly sharper, more detailed and less noisy on the former! What's up with that?

              Maybe if you use low end entry phones like the A05 then that would be laggy.

Such an expensive phone should give you options not old tech.

                    jiyen235, 14 Feb 2024Yes Omnivision is worse, but as I said it's not by muc... moreOnce you see dng, you can see there is no 95/100, at most 50/100, otherwise even Apple would use OV50h instead of imx803 to reduce costs, since price difference is probably huge.

                    Jpegs are too disgustingly "enhanced" that you do not see difference until you look at raw files (those unprocessed raws).

                      Anonymous, 14 Feb 2024Sony removed x-reality and super vivid, users did not mind.... moreExactly. People who say who cares and It's not a big deal, now have an issue they have a problem and complain about it. Now we can say "most other phones don't have displays with oversaturated colors, so Samsung is getting with the times".

                        Anonymous, 14 Feb 2024No, it is not. You cannot judge by looking at jpeg. ... moreYes Omnivision is worse, but as I said it's not by much and yes they're used to reduce costs, the differences are so small on a hardware level that software can mitigate it easily. That's what I'm saying.

The Ferrari 296 GTB got 5 stars on all motoring websites. But will only sell 200... the Fiat 500 2024 will sell many 000s. Sales have nothing to do with rating a product!!!

So what, if it doesn't sell well it means that it's a bad phone? That's not the logic to go with, especially since you don't and can't even know yet how many units will be sold till the end of the year. Maybe it'll sell more, maybe not, but until then, you can't affirm it for sure

                              Last year total global smartphones shipment was 1.14 billion , and S23u just barely sold 12 million units . Googled it yourself here in gsmarena on the s ultra sale history.

                                      The throttling become scarier and scarier even the 8g3 run with blooted lagging One Ui.
                                      ViVo x100 has better heat control.

                                        You cannot judge by looking at jpeg. It is dng that is used to compare.
                                        Samsung and canon have made sensors for more than 20 years, still way below sony.
                                        Let alone omnivision.

                                        Imx707 > ov50h.

                                        Using omnivions is way to reduce costs. If all were same price, all chinese phones would use only exmor.
