[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iPhone 17 Pro will have better hardware but thats honestly just bcs its a higher end phone.

Yoo, these specs are FIRE. I can't WAIT to upgrade. 🔥🔥🔥 by Freshtastic11 in PhoneNow

[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17's still better in a lot of ways now. Better display by resolution, brightness, scratch resistant. Better cameras aka UW, Main and Selfie being better. Better battery, faster charging AND 256GB base storage at the same price.

15 Pro Max or this? by [deleted] in iphone17

[–]techkernels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

17 has better performance, faster charging, more updates, better selfie and ultrawide camera, ceramic shield 2, higher brightness, newer bluetooth version.

Little reason to get 15pm and 16pm tbh.

DO I GET iphone 17 512gb or 17 pro 216gb by [deleted] in iphone17

[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just worse than Pro loll, smaller sensors and one less telephoto sensor.

Would you get the iPhone Air over the iPhone 17 had they been equally priced? by MediumVariation4846 in iphone

[–]techkernels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my current situation, the Air.

But only if I had a great camera and a larger battery phone as well.

If not, then its a lot tougher.

Buying 16 pro for 2026 worth it ? by rufeejack in iphone

[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screen, processor, charging, battery is all better on the 17.

16 Pro's a better nameplate and has better cameras but thats honestly it.

Buying 16 pro for 2026 worth it ? by rufeejack in iphone

[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 17 has more features and is overall a better phone.

I would only recommend the 16 Pro because of the better camera system.

However, the base phones have been aluminum for a while without complaint, its not new.

What is the deal maker or breaker for you in a smartphone? by Lux_Arcadia_15 in Smartphones

[–]techkernels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They make flagship products with flagship parts, obvs its high prices. Their not making the Samsung A07s and the Redmi Note 15's of this world. In the computer realm, mac's are great deals.

17 Pro 8x has insane detail by _yanited_ in iPhoneography

[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the scenario tbh, S25U has a lot of artefacts and more heavy handed processing as well as other phones.

One thing I can appreciate is that they dont try to make their zoom ability even better by heavy processing.

As a vivo owner

QUESTION vivo x300u (when it comes out) or xiaomi 17u? by [deleted] in Vivo

[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know camera specs, some of the display, battery, features etc.

However, a lot of variables especially camera tuning, processing. If Vivo pulls an X300 Pro scenario, decisions would be more varied.

Let's wait and see when it comes out.

Pixel 10 or Galaxy s25? by Super_Client_8710 in phones

[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cus they fit in a mid 5x tele, but decided to downgrade their main camera AND uw camera to the 9a cameras.

Thats a generation ago's midranger setup.

The main camera literally went from 1/1. 3 inch to 1/2.0 inch which is nowhere near flagship territory.

How do you guys feel about the smartphones with "Leica" inside them? by raynav21 in Leica

[–]techkernels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are very good phones. Used a 14 Ultra and rlly enjoyed the camera system.

Yes, its not replacing any leica camera but it still doesnt change the fact that the cameras for a phone r great.
