I have both the IPhone X and Oneplus 5t. But in the real world speedtest comparison, the Oneplus 5t still wins over the IPhone X.This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Sep 17 2018, 09:16 AM

QUOTE(ahwang12321 @ Sep 17 2018, 07:56 AM) Hi guys If you think iPhone 7plus is too huge, then u should opt for an iPhone x or xs...smaller phone size with reasonably nice screen size...Can recommend me which iPhone to buy No matter hw many times I change to Android, I still prefer iPhone..I think because of app quality..also tired with android bugs..phone will slow/lag after a year plus..using pixel 2 now.. still fast but so many problem with the phone..screen blue tint prob is still ok for me..but then come another bug..latest is no notification sound which is really annoying..only advantage of android is their camera and fast charging Last highest model iPhone I used ip7 plus.. reason selling.. too huge.I think those bezel really big make it uncomfortable but then when I change to iphone se I feel like toy phone so small, change to 6s ..feels ok but the battery really sucks after iOS 11 .other reason is the Touch ID didn’t work that well for me but I think my finger hard to register..even pixel 2 also sometime not work.. only Samsung phone works well with my finger for some weird reason |

QUOTE(sramesh @ Sep 17 2018, 11:47 AM) The iPhone 8 RRP is 2899 and Plus version 3299. IMHO The XR will be priced much higher...at least 4K++. I think the base XR will go for RM3699 or RM3799 here, won't make sense to go above RM4000, based on the world wide pricing of the Xr announced in the first wave countries so far.QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 17 2018, 02:34 PM) Is it?

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 17 2018, 12:03 AM) The IPhone Xs and Xs Max is not running on Ufs 3.0. So how better is Apple's hardware particularly on storage on the XS and Xs Max? In my previous comment, I included "any" phone that utilize these 2 main components, will pay a premium price. Even Iphone X is using Toshiba 64gb storage and they are expansive. You cannot imply iphone cheap hardware justifies the price. Iphone X example costs $370 and the OLED screen alone is 1/3 of the price $110. For your info, Samsung is bringing Ufs 3.0 to the S10/ S10+ So as a company who will support you for the next 5 years in OS update, buttery smooth in the end user experience, a must-optimized software development, a top notch CPU which beats others SD and exynos in better margin. Apple for sure will sell them in premium. I wont bother buying an Iphone since I always sell them back after year a and get at minimum 70%-80% of the purchased value. |

QUOTE(afiqsabri @ Sep 17 2018, 03:27 PM) I purchased top flagship android phone (which currently Note 9) every single year and I changed my iphone every year. This would be a never ending argument. Apple will claim it has a better chipset and android will claim vice versa. Point is, Im not here to proof which is better or who pawns who. Im here just to point out that modern day androids will not be outperformed by IOS compared to yesteryears. What you have claimed above would be true, if it was 3-4 years ago but the same could not be said for now. IOS Update Iphone 5S (9/2013) will get the IOS 12, while S7 Edge (6/2016) might not be getting android Pie CPU A11 beats SD 845 in every corner...imagine how A12 can do.

And for the ever increasing price of Apple Iphones, I would really like to see how it would remain competitive in the smartphone market. |

QUOTE(afiqsabri @ Sep 16 2018, 09:34 PM) they are 2 component in ANY phone that made them expensive, the storage type and screen. Apple did not use UFS. They use NVME Pcie for their internal storage. Also Apple having absolute control on the software and hardware have always been a bonus. This is why they trail-blazed the competition in internal storage.I would say the combination of Super AMOLED + UFS 3.0 Storage.. QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 16 2018, 10:12 PM) yes, exactly. many just simply compare on paper spec, but apple actually uses much better hardware. like the ssd on macbook pro, it is insanely faster than any ssd that can be found on any other windows laptop. The good news is Apple adapted their SSD controller used on the macbook pro and optimized it for their iPhone. This is why u have insanely superior, never seen before internal storage speeds on a phone. |
