Here's an interesting topic for you! What's the best smartphone design, in your opinion? Some say that what we have currently is the pinnacle of phone design and a major reason for the stagnation of innovation in this area. Phones are looking more and more similar to each other, but are there other options, really? Foldable phones? Maybe the flip design from the old days, refreshed and reimagined with a flexible screen? Something entirely new and different, such as an ergonomic soft gel design that fits into your hand or maybe something you can wear on you? Let's see what you guys think! Let your imagination run wild, or stick to tradition. There's no right or wrong here.

Having seen reviews of the Vivo x100 Pro, I can happily say that its camera prowess is yet another reason why I prefer Chinese OEM's devices. They are pushing the envelope when it comes to smartphones. I'm really happy that I have invested in a device from Vivo (xFold 2), and will definitely purchase more products from them. They are putting out some it the best devices on the market today.

I'll help you out. Here is the real answer: AI. Yes that's the primary reason why it's equipped with 24Gigs. Because it will support the ability to do some aspects of AI offline without Internet. Similar to ChatGPT but a bit less powerful but will allow you to use Something similar to ChatGPT offline. Imagine this capability in an emergency scenario where there is no power or Internet and you need answers or guidance for medical or otherwise. The other reason is this will support the refreshed trend to bring a desktop experience to Android. The OnePlus 12 now supports Display out via USB C to HDMI. The primary overall reason is AI not just in a ChatGPT sense but in other emerging AI capabilities.
The OnePlus 12 has more RAM than my PC! Who needs 24GB of RAM or is this just another overkill selling point?

I fail to see why Apple spends a ton of cash on expensive processors but skimps on relatively inexpensive RAM. Most users won't notice the beefy processor as it's only noticable in a few tasks that aren't common on phones, plus iOS severely limits what apps can do making the processor overkill. Meanwhile something like 2GB or 4GB of additional RAM would cost little in comparison but greatly enhance the user experience and keep the phone useful for a longer period of time.

Finally! I don't have to suggest my Apple friends download some third party app just to send them high quality pictures and video. And now I don't have to switch to iPhone to bridge the gap between my iPhone friends and family.

The comments confirm to me just how brainwashed Apple people are. They will make an excuse for anything that goes against Apple quality and defend their stance. If you pay $1100 for a phone, it should not come with a scratch much less s dent! Obviously this phone is defective! Perhaps someone at the factory dropped it and there s internal damage that will cause you problems down the road. Call Apple, complain, and demand a replacement! As proof of what I say, I offer this reposition. This same story, but the device is a Pixel 8 Pro. I'd bet all these comments would be the complete opposite!!

I’m more convinced than ever that if the USA didn’t have its boot on the neck of Huawei, and the company wasn’t banned from the USA, they would kick the crap out of Apple and Samsung and be the dominant tech company, at least until Apple and Samsung got off their complacent fat azzes. Not having Huawei in the USA is hurting consumers, not helping them.
