Anonymous, 28 Nov 2024yes, the only few phones that support bypass charging. gsma... moreI find their review structure punishes features that are more rare

Because they have a template that I guess helps them to get reviews as quickly as possible but in doing so only generic features will get typically highlighted

But at the expense of other unique features being buried and ignored

Which is why there diagnosis of the GPU efficiency is credited to a universal spec like the 8 elite instead of the phones unique Q2 chip strength.. I'd go even as far to believe their review style might be impacting their development of technical knowledge too and appreciation of it as well

Bypass charging and usb 3.2 is mega ultra rare in smartphones overall and not mentioning it can indirectly mislead readers to thinking the phone is as generic as it's competition

Even the Q2 chip is making this thing run similar to gaming smartphones in in stability

    IpsDisplay, 28 Nov 2024"We are particularly impressed by the gaming runtime. ... moreyes, the only few phones that support bypass charging. gsmarena underrated this beast on purpose.

      "We are particularly impressed by the gaming runtime. It seems like Qualcomm put together an extremely energy-efficient SoC."

      NOPE!!! Most of this credit goes to the Q2 chip!!!

      Too bad gsmarena arena seems like you didn't test the USB 3.2 display out

      Also doesn't this have bypass charging too??

      Which gsmarena was modern to test the ultra steady FPS with little gitters

      The iqoo 13 is underrated and to me is the best polished of the first generation 8 elite smartphones

        Charger in the box is a plus

          This will be the Real contender for a RedMagic 10.

          80% performance maintained in over an hour of gaming, maintained on the CPU, with the choice to weaken the GPU speed.

          It's an engineering choice that I find very intelligent and practical . (in the absence of additional external fans and "supercoolers" which inevitably increase costs)

          A Winlator (which uses a lot of CPU computation), with this device it will fly.

          Suitable for Gamers. (the serious ones)

            another amazing 8 Elite phone for cheap, GT 7 Pro and iQOO 13 are the best choice right now.. Red Magic bit more expensive and ROG Phone 9 hard to recommend. The Z70 Ultra could be included too but it's more expensive and unfortunately it doesn't have LTPO.

              The shape of this phone looks like the upcoming S25 Ultra But I wouldn’t pay $630 for it.
              However, I will certainly shortlist it if available between $500-$550

                It maybe a very unpopular opinion, but it is nice to have a proper 50mm FoV camera without any center cropping from sensor albeit it is a smaller sensor. If it was possible to make them the default cam when opening the camera app, even better.
