What does the new iPhone 14 Pro... Max brings to the table how is it different from the already excellent iPhone 13 Pro Max?

There are a few things, but chief among them are two new features: a higher resolution 48MP main camera and the new Dynamic Island that replaces the notch.

Of course, Apple is also bringing its most advanced A16 Bionic chip to the new model, and along with the larger camera sensor, come to a few other photo and video improvements.

And while we have these exciting improvements, battery life and charging speeds have not changed in this new model, and if that's what you were hoping for, you may end up disappointed.

So let's dive into those differences The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the iPhone I'd recommend to power users. Why? Well, you get the best cameras in a phone based on my testing, a new always-on on display, and a clever Dynamic Island that replaces the notch with a smaller area that delivers alerts and live activities on the fly. between the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max and see if it's worth upgrading...

 

iPhone 14 Pro Max in a nutshell:

•  Dynamic Island replaces the notch

•  Faster A16 Bionic chip

•  Improved display with 1Hz refresh rate and Always-On function

•  New 48MP main camera

•  4K Cinematic video, new Action Mode stabilization

•  Satellite connectivity

•  Same battery life, same charging speeds

 

Another notable feature that the iPhone 14 Pro Max has over its predecessor is an Always-On display. Android has had this for years, and now it's finally on the iPhone. Apple is using the new 1Hz refresh rate so that it can dim the wallpaper with minimal battery drain. The one thing to know here is that it might just be a bit too "on" and a bit doo distracting, but it's nice to have the option. We just wish Apple adds a bit more customization options to this.

Also, do keep in mind that the Always-on Display function drains

an average of about 5% every day, so if you use it, you might be getting worse battery life than with the 13 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the iPhone I'd recommend to power users. Why?

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is expected to come with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor. Specs are also rumored to include a 5000mAh battery and Quad camera setup on the back.

Galaxy S23 Ultra sounds like it's going to be building on the advances made by that model. Most notably, that includes a likely boost to the main camera as well as the annual upgrade to the chipset powering the phone.

We're going to find out all those details and more very shortly, now that Samsung has set a date for a Galaxy Unpacked event in February. But we don't have to wait until then to talk about the changes being ushered by the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Rumors and leaks have already granted us a clear picture of what the Galaxy S23 Ultra is likely to bring to the table.

•  High refresh rate (120Hz) 
•  5G ready
•  High screen-to-body ratio (89%) 
• Supports wireless charging 
• High pixel density screen 

 

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

 

Samsung’s hi-tech flip phone has been a bit of a hit over the past year. Now the Z Flip is back for 2022, with better cameras, a faster chip, longer battery life, and more customization options than ever, as the company attempts to appeal to those bored of flat phones and looking for something more exciting. feels like a truly premium piece of consumer electronics, which makes it easy to forget that the folding tech at the center of the Flip 4 is still very much bleeding edge. You can still see and feel the crease in the middle of the display where it bends but it otherwise feels like a normal glass slab in operation.

• Fun foldable design

• The high refresh-rate screen looks good

• The main camera takes good photos in medium and low light

 

Nearly everything about the Flip 4

feels fun and approachable, from its petite, squared-off footprint when it's closed to the fact that you can choose your own "bespoke" color scheme for it. But the same can be said about last year's Galaxy Z Flip 3, which Samsung continues to sell at a discounted price. I was hesitant to recommend the Flip 3 because its battery life wasn't great and the cameras were just OK.

Small cover screen

On the outside of the Flip 4 is a petite cover display that's the same size as the one on Flip 3. In terms of functionality, it's largely the same as well. I wish it did more. 

You can now send canned responses to certain messaging apps directly from the cover display. But there isn't an option to type or dictate a reply without opening up the phone. Of everything on Flip 4, the cover screen is the place where Samsung could do more.

 

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Galaxy Z Fold 4 is less compromised, more powerful, and more durable than its predecessors. The battery struggles to keep up with its ability, but otherwise, it's one of the very best smartphones you can buy today.

This Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 delivers a better multitasking experience and improved cameras in a (slightly) sleeker design

•       The new taskbar improves multitasking
•       Wider front screen
•       Brighter main display
•       Upgraded 50MP camera
•       Longer battery life

The Z Fold 4 is as smooth of a performer as its flagship specs suggest. Again, we have the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor inside, along with 12GB of RAM, which seems to be enough for stutter-free multitasking.

 If you’re a gamer, which by the way this phone is perfect for, you’ll be happy to know that even heavy 3D games run fine at their highest settings, and since we have a 120Hz AMOLED display and dual stereo speakers – those games will look big and beautiful and sound big too.

 The Galaxy Z Fold 4 makes use of Google’s Android 12L software, which has been made with larger screens in mind, and Samsung’s own OneUI 4.1.1 interface. 

 Android 12L isn’t drastically different from regular Android 12, and Samsung hasn’t integrated the two-column Quick Settings layout, which is the most obvious visual change. Powering the phone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor with 12GB of RAM and your choice of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of internal storage space.

 Not quite as tall and not quite as slim. That’s the basic main takeaway regarding the Galaxy Z Fold 4 compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but to leave it at that is a disservice to the differences the millimeter-tight changes make.

 When closed, gripping the Z Fold 4 isn’t quite like holding a non-folding phone, but it’s not far off. When you compare on-screen keyboards, the Z Fold 4’s letters are a few extra pixels wide, yet I’ve found typing to be faster and more accurate on the Z Fold 4.

 On the outside is a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with a 2316 x 904 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 23.1:9 aspect ratio. Open the phone and you get a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED, also with a 120Hz refresh rate, plus a 2176 x 1812 resolution. 

 The refresh rate for the open screen varies between 1Hz and 120Hz, while the cover screen varies between 48Hz and 120Hz.

OnePlus 10 Pro review: settling in

It’s a likable device, but OnePlus still has some work to do 

The 10 Pro is OnePlus all grown up. The days of a scrappy upstart challenger are gone — that much was clear with last year’s 9 and 9 Pro, with true flagship specs and prices to match.

 This year, OnePlus has sharpened its vision of a legitimate flagship phone to challenge the big brands, and the result is a sophisticated, sleek device. It’s not just a cheaper flagship; it’s a real alternative to Samsung and Google, with an identity all its own. the result is a sophisticated, sleek device.

It’s not just a cheaper flagship; it’s a real alternative to Samsung and Google, with an identity all its own.

That’s not to say that OnePlus has entirely closed the gap between itself and the big Android brands. The 10 Pro’s $899 price makes more sense than last year’s $1,069 9 Pro. (There was a less expensive version, but it never came to the US.) But at the same price, there are good reasons to consider the Pixel 6 Pro or the $999 Galaxy S22 Plus over the 10 Pro.

 OnePlus has some work to do to catch up to those competitors in the camera department, for one. And OnePlus doesn’t provide software security updates for as long as Google or Samsung, which guarantees five

 +years of support after launch. 

 +Excellent battery life 

 +Beautiful new design

 +OxygenOS 12 is nice to use

 +Best OnePlus cameras to date

 +Lower price than last year

Those are some major considerations, and they keep me from freely recommending the 10 Pro to just anyone looking for a premium Android phone. But I’m encouraged by the direction the company is taking with the 10 Pro, and if this is indeed the new OnePlus, I like where it’s headed.

The OnePlus 10 Pro uses this year’s top Qualcomm chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. At launch, the only variant sold in North America will be the 128GB version with 8GB of RAM — OnePlus says its 256GB /

12GB RAM will be available in the US at a later date. These specs offer plenty of processing power for day-to-day tasks. I noticed some very occasional stutters with heavier tasks like playing Genshin Impact, but for all intents and purposes, this is a speedy device that delivers flagship-level performance.
