big upgrade at least on the CPU side...never forget note 9 is using exynos chip

damn he didn't mention about whether the cable is rated 3A or 5A...

nice, thanks for the info

holy shit...pixel 7 pro is by far the most stand out one on the still images especially selfies. a league on its own
reason why a lot pipul voted for 6a and 7 pro during mkbhd's blind test...

cuz u bought about 6k worth of items, 2k points translate to about RM60
they usually take 1% of your purchase amount and stash them into points

sama jugak...
too much ̶p̶r̶a̶w̶n̶ movies, photos, vids and documents and other data

really depends on how the software to "fake" all the stuffs for a small sensor size of 1/1.3". because it's not easy to use a smaller sensor to beat a larger sensor, and it's coming from Sony.
the older Samsung ISOCELL HM3 1/1.33" (S22 Ultra) has about 69mm^2 area, while Sony IMX989 1" (used by Vivo X90 Pro and Pro+) has an area of whopping 116mm^2. still tiny in terms of camera sensor, but the difference between the two is close to 70%. new Samsung ISOCELL HP2 used by s23 is using 1/1.3 which has larger area than HM3, but just so slightly

deswhy there's a reason why actual raw detail + quality, phone cameras will never match mirrorless cameras. APS-C and 35mm sensors are multiple times the size. but on the software side, phones can directly do alterations for you and make it look pretty close to what APS-C and 35mm cams can offer.

it's "processing" because it's just an umbrella term by samsung for ur order...just be patient a bit
if ur order is created, placed, and you're being charged...means samsung received your order.

anyone ordering whitestone dome directly from the site instead of lazada/shopee, but hasn't ordered yet?

yea I also hear that the official protector is actually very good and glassy-like feel.

europeans are getting their s23u earlier than usual....seems like a compensation for last year's exynos variant solely for the said continent

different experience for me.

used note 4 edge since end of 2014. 2 years later battery problem. during that time battery still swappable, so swapped it and lasted until switching to note 9 on aug 2018. note 9 is still lasting after 4.5 years.

no screen problem and no motherboard problem. only one instance of failed battery (shutting off below 30% battery), and a degraded battery on note 9 (continuous usage can only last about 4 hours, normal at about 6-8 hours only).

mine's still showing 24 feb, I placed order early during the galaxy unpacked stream
let's hope they fulfill the delivery date or else padan muka

I believe it is likely to be first come first serve, those who plan to preorder now (or maybe since a few days ago) will have their batch placed on later dates for those affected colors. those who already preordered earlier especially during the first few hours will be able to get the first batch of the said colors at 24 feb

so, anyone who hasn't dropped order for whitestone dome but planning to, can count me in?

no choice, they need to compete with TSMC or else TSMC will monopolize the global foundry market. now TSMC suka suka raise wafer price dy. 3nm GAAFET from samsung have to succeed.

only if intel starts selling their process nodes. i'd like to see some competitions
