Both operating systems have evolved over the years.
Additionally, it boasts an identical 6.1" OLED screen with the same notch and a 60Hz refresh rate.
Unlike the iPhone 14 series, the iPhone 13 still supports physical SIM cards.
Rumors suggest that the first officialUSB-C iPhonewill debut either this year or the next, at least in Europe.
Still, this projection offers little solace.
Moreover, Apple’s omission of a charger in the box is challenging to endorse as an eco-friendly move.
Potential sale discounts could minimize this difference.
All 256GB models utilize the swifter UFS 4.0 standard over 3.1, theoretically doubling the speed for file operations.
In terms of camera specifications, both the S23 and S23+ closely resemble the S22.
This primary lens collaborates with a 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP telephoto sensor boasting a 3x optical zoom.
With Samsung Dex support, users can transition to a desktop environment.
Coupled with its software support, the Galaxy S23 emerges as an attractive proposition for most Android aficionados.
Google guarantees three years of OS upgrades and five years of security patches.
As the brain behind Android, Google’s updates are as prompt as Apple’s iOS patches.
Foldable phones, like the new SamsungGalaxy Z Flip 5, might seem tempting.
However, their design restricts battery and camera configurations.
TheMotorola Razr+(a.k.a.
It’s also cheaper at$1,000, but comes with a last-gen SoC.
Unless you really need the unique form factor, you should probably look elsewhere.
Currently, we believe the Google Pixel 6a from the last generation offers the best value for its price.
Although it doesn’t provide optical zoom, the cameras perform admirably.
The biggest difference is in the cameras, with the main rear unit upgraded to 64MP.
The rear ultrawide and front cameras are both 13MP.
Notably, these specifications exceed those of the standardPixel 7.
The 7a also introduces dust resistance and wireless charging capabilities.
But note that the Exynos 1380 SoC won’t match the Pixel’s Tensor.
The same is true for the 32MP selfie camera.
Yet, when selling for a similar price to the Pixel 6a, it’s a good option.
Apple iPhone SE 2022
The iPhone SE 2022 stands out in notable and questionable ways.
Its single-lens 12MP rear camera, although less versatile than multi-lens systems, consistently delivers.
The 7MP front-facing camera follows suit.
The inclusion of big bezels, top and bottom, doesn’t help either.
Owing to its compact design, the iPhone SE 2022 doesn’t excel in battery longevity.
Thus, nightly charging, especially with 5G active, becomes a routine.
Its 6.6" 1080p LCD display doesn’t offer the best contrast, though it does run at 90Hz.
Additionally, the phone supports NFC for contactless payments.
As expected, the MediaTek Dimensity 700 doesn’t do a great job at utilizing those lenses.
The phone only features 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, but that can be expanded with microSD.
The older model uses a higher-end AMOLED screen (1080 pixels wide) instead of an LCD.
However, this 6.4" panel refreshes at a slower 60Hz.
The selfie camera is 16MP.
On paper, it seems to offer the same features you’d find in other companies' mainstream products.
However, owing to iOS and its finely-tuned apps, the performance is notably superior.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max retains a design reminiscent of the iPhone 14 Plus.
Its always-on 6.7" display is brighter and now supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
The primary camera boasts an impressive 48MP, complemented by a telephoto lens that offers 3x optical zoom.
For augmented reality enthusiasts, a Pro model is indispensable due to its integrated LiDAR.
However, it’s just $200 pricier than the iPhone 14 Plus.
If you’re inclined towards a more compact equipment, the regular iPhone 14 Pro willsave you $100.
The design features a rectangular profile, crowned with a subtly curved 6.8" display.
Camera-wise, the primary lens has been supersized to a staggering 200MP.
Additionally, another telephoto lens has been incorporated, offering 10x optical zoom.
This powers its 165Hz, 6.78" display (1080p).
The machine is equipped with dual speakers and three microphones to ensure crystal-clear communication with teammates.
It’s designed to work with the included AeroActive Cooler, which doubles as a subwoofer.
The drawback of all of these openings is mediocre water and dust resistance.
Its front camera boasts a 32MP sensor, though it downscales photos to 8MP.
The 0.3MP camera is mostly useful for taking photos of your other camera.
With Bluetooth 4.0, you’ll also be able to use wireless sound devices.
Also included is a Micro USB 2.0 charger.
For a bit more money, you might get theNokia 2780 Flip.
The phone also has an external display that shows the time and caller ID.
With a USB-C charging port, you may not need to carry another charger for it.
Another feature that might be interesting for the phone’s audience is its hearing-aid compatibility (M4/T4).
