      Anonymous, 29 Sep 2024The 60hz display helps with the battery life.wow man apple fans claim the lack of features is a feature itself. you know 120hz androids aren't locked at that refresh rate, right? i keep my own redmi at 60hz all the time even though it is 120hz

        "This unreleased feature they promised us is really good. Not that it exists yet, but they bumped the hardware, so it must be really good."

The Xiaomi 14 is around is around 190g and has a bigger form factor. Xiaomi 15 won't be smaller. At least next year there will be a few 6.3" options. Vivo will launch a 6.3" x200 pro mini. That will have better camera hardware than the Xiaomi 15. Rumored also that the Oppo x8 series might have a mini version but that hasn't been confirmed. All will still be bigger than the iPhone 16 though and heavier.

                      Very impressive battery life and (sustained)performance and decent screen brightness.

                      The rest is the same story every year with Iphones.

                      Last but not least, as much as i hate 60hz screens on this price range, i would definitely pick Iphone 16 over S24 Exynos....

For the price of this iphone show me a similar device which has good battery life, does not throttle by 50% and has takes both good quality photos and video (something those Chinese phone makers forget people take 😀). All while being compact or at least reasonably sized.

                          If this phone was 749 or even 799, 90-120hz and 256GB storage it would be a home run. But of course apple is afraid to eat into pro/pro max sales so their non pro phones have to be released as cripples.

                            From the comments here you'd think that it was a complete budget display. It's actually an excellent display in terms of the actual display quality. The brightness. color accuracy and resolution are top notch and according to Gsmarena it 'offers the best HDR implantation (assume this is a typo and is meant to be implementation) we've seen so far.' Just lacking in 120hz but it's fairly top level in many other areas.

                                  1300€ for 512 GB version is INSANE!

                                  60 Hz screen, still no 8K photos or videos and 8 GB of RAM is not great either for this time (and no it doesn't work better or the same as an Android with 16 GB or 24 GB, stop being naive)... It's fine, but you can't charge flagship prices for what is a midranger in 2024. The chip is good, everything else is midrange at best.

                                  I don't care what Apple fanatics think, this is not worth 1000€+! This phone only got 4.0 rating because it's an Apple. If it was a Samsung they would give it 3.5 at most.

                                    Let's go to bezel town

                                      ""The new iPhone 16 is once again a pioneer in sturdiness thanks to an improved Ceramic Shield glass""
                                      So why I so often seen people with cracked glass(front and/or back) on their iphones?

                                      ""But other than that, the iPhone 16 is shaping as one of the hottest compact phones of the season.""
                                      Nope. Pixel "a" series is still hotter... literally due to amazing chip they use xD

                                        Really good batterylife, camera and overall top performance. Also video out (USB/DP).
