As for myself not being a professional photographer or something, just take casual pics, and pocos (had older models) didn't disappoint me at all.
I'm having difficult time understand people complaining about small difference in photos.
There isn't too much difference among smartphone cameras *other than cosmetic effect that software gives.
You want the real quality, then get a real camera.

Pretty good i would say, if you want to get better battery life just set gpu power profile inside game turbo to "power saver" in each games or even any app.. dont affect performance that much in wuthering waves

They are NOT camera centric phones. They are for people who value AnTuTu score/$ above anything else.

Do not buy Xiaomi phones.
I had high hopes for xiaomi when i bought poco f6 (my first and last xiaomi phone)
I am facing a lot of inconvenences
deal breakers are :
Android widgets disappear from home screen regularly every day. don't bother putting them on your home screen again, they won't stay there for long.
The very basic app most peope use in day to day life like android auto is just simply not working, tried all suggestions available, my 4 other phones work just fine only xiaomi doesn't.
I wish i didn't buy xiaomi but couldn't expect the number of isssues is increasing with every consecutive update

4K 30 HDR on - there is shutter button
4K 60 HDR on - not possible
1080p 30 HDR on - there is shutter button
1080p 60 HDR on - not possible
1080p 60 HDR turned off - no camera shutter button
1080p 30 HDR Turned off - no camera button
In particular 4K 60 and 1080p 60 HDR are both not possible. I know they might take up more space than 30fps but it would be nice to have them.
So, Are these limitations of the chipset? or a bug?

Gino76ph, 12 Nov 2024Sticking to a phone for 4-5 years might sounds unrealistic ... morePerhaps yes.
But that would depend on how the current phone continues to work.
It's not that I change phone every year though, well... it really depends on the phone.
For example, if I get a flagship phone, then the spec should be sufficient for a couple of years at least, then the battery wears out (let's see if I can find replacement battery then).
Meanwhile, if I get a second hand phone, it won't likely last for too long (probably max 2 yrs).

Gino76ph, 12 Nov 2024Sticking to a phone for 4-5 years might sounds unrealistic ... moreUnrealistic to you, when several stats from surveys and research suggest that most people change their phones every 3 years on average. Not everyone has the money or bothers to change their phone every couple months like you do. There's just no advantage in changing phones so often.
And yes, personally I'd go for the Nord 4 over the 13T because of the better build quality, performance, battery life, and charging speed. I don't care about camera quality whatsoever.
As for you, just stick with your 13T for the time being. No point in getting the 14T since it's not much of an upgrade, and no point getting the Nord 4 because of the inferior cameras.

yes. As there are phones being released almost every month and there are deals and discounts every few months.

This phone in the variant 512/12 for me had a very annoying BUG in the game LOL: Wild Rift. It started as a "Lag Spikes" issue where the PING of the game started to go up and down constantly in a stable WiFi red for no apparent reason, even alongside his little brother the F5 both phones running the game at the same network and time this new F6 model retained those lag spiked over and over, tried to fix it with various ways and with the help of the game Support team without success, so we end blaming the new Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 that this model mounts and his lack of compatibility, some friend of mine with another F6 said to me that the exact same problem happened to him but with CoD Mobile game, Ping Spikes for no reason trough all the game. So BEWARE for those who plays this games and want to buy this phone.
Also another curious bug: many third apps that showcase Temperatures from the thermal sensors of the phone always were saying the CPU was over 70C° or more even when the phone wasn't that hot by just touching it lol...So I guess it's another BUG from the new SoC SP 8S Gen 3.

It's not just myself. Apparently people have been complaining about this too. So, I've decided to sell it on eBay and either stick to my 13T for now or upgrade to a 14T in the new year, wait for the Xiaomi 15 later in the new year or get a Nord 4. I think i'm done with Samsung for now.
