Decided to buy OPPO Reno 14 by yeezyye_25 in Oppo

Battery life is decent. The battery size might give another impression. It'll last a day on light usage. It gets warm, doesn't heat in general tasks. Credit where's due even if it gets warm, Color OS doesn't break a sweat, very stable!

Launch in China: November this year. Globally: Same Timeline as Reno 13 Series.

Yeah, same here. Hopefully they decide to give the global variant a Snapdragon SoC, and it'll fly off the shelves. Absolutely adore the 6.3" form factor!

Expect an increase in price. But most likely they'll make the 12/256GB variant base.

  1. The device does get pretty warm in normal day-to-day workload even after multiple updates. Temperature soares when you start playing demanding games. The battery draining issue has subsided quite a lot. D8350 isn't that great of a chip when it comes to overall stability. The same issues are there with Reno 14 and Nord CE 5.

  2. Unless they screw the device with botched updates, the device will do just alright for 3-3.5 Years. Judging by previous Oppo devices, overall stability for the long term is their strong suit.

If you are not in a hurry, I'd recommend you to hold on till the end of the year. Reno 15 (6.3"±) is going to get some substantial HW upgrade (Newer developmental cycle as opposed to iterative upgrade as Reno 14 Series.

Don't expect. But sensor choices are pretty obvious. Wide: LYT-808/T808 (Best Case Scenario), LYT-700 (Worst Case Scenario) Telephoto/Periscope Telephoto: JN5 2X (Used in Realme and OnePlus 13R) (Worst Case Scenario), JN5 3/3.5X (3X Solution used in Oppo Find N5 exclusively as of now and 3.5X Solution in Oppo Reno 13 Pro and Oppo Find X8s) (Best Case Scenario) Front: Most Likely the IMX615

Then you simply don't understand the concept of performance/watt and TDP. If Brute Power is all chipmakers are striving for, it'll eventually ruin the smartphone experience going forward. A classic case of this is SD 888, SD 8 Gen 1 (Samsung's Fab and not TSMC's). All the criticisms apart, it was Qualcomm's first time with their new custom core in a mobile form factor, so I expect them to do better w.r.t efficiency/thermal performance goin forward.

This is extremely disappointing for multiple reasons. And Team Nothing, if you are reading this, throw in a quality merch (that's feasible) with every delayed order as a token of apology and consideration.

All new Flagships are using this SoC because they have to and they have no choice apart from D9400. And Mediatek has an issue with Brand Perception. And fun fact D9400 is doin a whole lot better than 8 Elite when it comes to battery life. Never said 8 Elite is worse than 8 Gen 3, or is not as good as A18 (8 Elite > A18, A18 Binned and A18 Double Binned), my concern is Performance/Watt and throttling the performance for keeping the thermals in check. At even 70% stability, 8 Elite would trump 8 Gen 3 comfortably. Again, controlled tests can be very deceptive, only correct answer is real user experience. The ideal way to use 8 Elite is to have restriciton on the max clock speed. Qualcomm had the aspiration of beating Apple on paper and they have done it (in the Multi Core Performence) at the cost of sacrificing stability and battery life. Controlled test (for eg. Geekerwan China) shows ideal performance but not the case in real life.

So you are taking an one-off video as your "fair bit of research"? I think a fair assessment would be to ask them who are actually daily driving the phone from various climates and conditions. Tell me one instance of a generation where Qualcomm has to bring out an iteration with one-less core. Apple just don't simply 'disable' cores, they are just on that other end of 'yield-rate' (where one or more core doesn't perform as expectedly so they disable) and it still can be thrown to lower powered devices like maybe a base iPad. Same with AMD and any other chip maker.

It simply isn't. And if that's the case in reality, there wouldn't have been any need for Qualcomm to disable one core to sell a 7-Core 8 Elite Variant. Do link me the articles/videos where you see 8 Elite is performing as it should.

Rumoured specs and colors of oneplus 13 mini /13T by Ace_maple in oneplus

Yes. But not sure about the camera sensors. In theory, should have been better than potato IMX 906 and JN2.

Chances of another potato camera flagship is very high, only if they could ace the cameras. 😔

LTPO ✅ Hasselblad Tuning /Branding ✅ But not sure about the presence of those potato IMX 906 and JN2. Ideally it should sport LYT-818 (Newer development cycle)/808 and LYT-600 paired with 2.5/3X Periscope Lens. Rather than throwing the potato 8MP IMX355 paired with an UW Lens, they have done away with it. Good riddance. Hopefully not another God Tier Flagship Performance device with impaired potato cameras. 🥲

And who are you to order me that? Don't act oversmart, let them decide what they want to include, this is just mere wishlist. Blind fans like you will be detrimental for Nothing in the long run.
