They're literally no games that utilize even current Gen SoCs, what about Elite/9400. And honestly all discussion about emulation of other platforms is nonsense. Windows laptops , Nintendo consoles and so on cost nothing, compared to Android flagships, while offering obviously tremendous difference in power and usage.

IMHO nothing justifies buying flagship. Camera included.

    walkman8, 23 Nov 2024I'm afraid they'll get even worse. With each gene... moreHopefully its just a initial issue and they figure out before moving to 2nm and 1 nm nodes if that's even possible. If its an inherent problem with node shrinkage I'd say we must taper our expectations further.

    On the other hand I wonder why qualcomm/ mediatek doesnt try to make chips that consume lower power while targetting a performance profile...

    For example 8+ gen 1/ 8 gen 2 performance at 3-4w or lower instead of usual 6w+ of peak power consumption?

      Anonymous, 23 Nov 2024Standby time can be very different across phones of same br... moreDimensity 9xxx series have been like this ever since they adopted all large core design. Almost all tested phones have the similar good active use but poor standby drain reducing the overall active use score

      I'm guessing it has to do with higher base power consumption at lowest frequency on A7xx cores compared to A5xx cores

        Willard, 23 Nov 2024I quickly went to the Real GT7 Pro review because GSMArena ... morebasically the same rear cam setup, minus the UW cam. Additionally, Oppo's processing is more mature. These are pre-production shots. Oppo's photos are horrible till around 1-2 weeks post launch. The Find X7 Ultra took worse shots than the S24 Ultra at first, now it's on par with the X100 Ultra/14 Ultra

            You can easily use one hand only.
            Press and hold to unlock screen, open can app and take photo in less than 1s.

              " Pretty good battery life" . Maybe in another universe, not this one.

              About 5700 mAh and just 14h.
              Should be at least 16:30h ..

                When and where to the EU version will come?

                  I quickly went to the Real GT7 Pro review because GSMArena didn't mention the versatility of it's camera, but on this review (competition section) they had this to say👇🏽:

                  "Realme has an interesting flagship in the GT 7 Pro. It is rocking the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Plus, you get excellent build quality and ingress protection, a great 120Hz, LTPO AMOLED display, a large battery (though you should check your local version for the exact capacity) and a comparable and versatile camera setup with a 3x telephoto".

                  Now l don't know.

                    I think 4 nm was the last stop before major complications

                      Anonymous, 23 Nov 2024Also imx882 ultrawide instead of jn5, jn5 should replace 8 ... moreBasically all the competition now are using jn5, Jn1 or OV50D for ultrawide. None have gone with imx882/lyt600 this year. Phone companies in China have analyzed the use of the cameras by Chinese consumers and found that the ultrawide was by far the least utilized camera sensor so they seem to be giving up on the idea of a good ultrawide at least in all but their ultra models. Even Nubia who had the best ultrawide last year with the awesome OV50E have replaced that with the OV50D

                        Weirdest year for Android camp, usually we get a clear winner but this year its more complicated

                        8 elite
                        Pros : Wins in CPU benchmarks, has a better compatibility with games, better standby compared to dimensity
                        Cons: Runs hot (in devices tested so far), expensive, poor stability, higher active use battery drain

                        9400
                        Pros: cheaper, second to 8elite in CPU, Wins in GPU benchmarks, runs cooler, good efficiency in active use. Better stability than 8 elite.
                        Cons: less optimised in games, higher standby drain.

                        Hopefully next generation of chips perfom better and correct these flaws. Waiting for dimensity 9500/ 8 elite gen 2 or whatever its called.

                          How is the lack of dedicated camera button a con? No one has proven it's usefulness or how it improves a user's camera experience. Besides, it should be subjective as I don't like it at all.

                                  Super camera performance on the find x8. Was disappointed when I saw they downgraded the main sensor from the find X7. However having tried it I don't think it makes a lot of difference in practice as they have optimized the cameras very well. The video quality is particularly excellent and as good as the find x8 pro and Vivo x200 pro in my opinion. Tried them all side by side and transferred videos to my phone to examine on a big screen later. It's really good on this phone. Personally, I'm just disappointed they didn't put band 20 on the Chinese version as that ruled it out for me

                                    This phone, like with the X8 Pro, is rated too highly. It's a clear downgrade compared to the X6 and X7, the screen is still not bright enough, and the camera software's processing is really artificial and suffers heavily from overexposure. This is not how you do a vanilla flagship phone.

                                      LTPO is the deal breaker honestly, i wanted it so much coz my current device had it. now i am waiting for X200 mini.
