                              @abctoz: I have never made a direct Apple vs Android comparison.

                              I have only been pointing out how flawed your benchmarking argument is that CPU is all that matters.

                              I even said that you can "Ignore all the advancements and features on the latest Apple and Android phones then." (I made it bold to help you out)

                              Because both are more advanced than a 2020 iPhone.

      Very valuable for people who sit around running geekbench all day.

      But it's not indicative of actual performance.

      Apparently even in cpu demanding games (really the only time you are giving your phone a workout nowadays) the performance is within margin of error with the iphone 14 pro max. Last I checked, geekbench is cpu only too, so best case scenario for the benchmark

          Do you take photos, watch videos, use your screen.

          Lots of things are reliant on the GPU to give you a good experience. It isn't just there for gaming.

              @abctoz:

              all the things you listed is dependent on cpu performance

              Really?

              Do you take photos

              This uses the camera, which we have established is poor
              It
              Also uses the GPU, not CPU.
              Don't believe me

              Apple’s new 6-core GPU powers higher-resolution images via a 48-megapixel, 7-lens camera. This processing power delivers the best camera photos and video using computational photography

              www.forbes.com/sites/timbajarin/2023/09/13/is-the-new-iphone…

              watch videos

              Which uses GPU not CPU because isn't the GPU is much more efficient

              use your screen.

              Has nothing to do with the CPU.
              The CPU cannot change the DPI or brightness of a screen (neither can the GPU)
              That's the physical screen hardware.

              Might I suggest you read up how basic computing works before you attempt to debate this topic

              • abctoz on 19/11/2023 - 13:00

                @spaceflight: you do realize it take cpu processing power to encode and decode your photos

                  It's clear you have no idea what you are talking about and no understanding of the importance of things beyond a CPU.

                  I think honestly you are out of your league here

                  There is no league here, just someone who has no idea how things work apart from " bigger CPU must be better"

                    @spaceflight: you literally had no concept that you had to encode and decide photos from you camera

                    this is why apple phones are snappier when taking photos fyi

                      you literally had no concept that you had to encode and decide photos from you camera

                      Hate to break it to you, but that's handled by the GPU (though I have already said that)

                      The GPU also handles things such as panning, scrolling, app transitions, window swapping, zooming and so on.

                      this is why apple phones are snappier when taking photos fyi

                      No it's not.
                      Apple deliberatey sets up their phones so that photos are taken at what the phone hardware can process without feeling laggy.

                      The iPhone could take better photos than the default but Apple prioritises experience over the photo quality.
                      You can just set an Android phone to lower quality if you want a snappier feeling and really need that 0.2 millisecond advantage after pressing the shutter button.

                      This is why even though the latest iPhone has a 48 MP camera sensor it only uses 24 MP

      Even the > $2500 latest iPhone is inferior to the S23 Ultra in FUNCTIONALITY (no productivity S-Pen, 200MP lens, 8K video, multi-windows, DEX laptop style, non-limited O/S..).
      But the S24 Ultra is coming in 2 months to make the iPhones irrelevant.

      You have to mail the phone in, phone trade in is via squareTradUp, a different company to JB.

    Should I trade in Pixel 8 Pro 256G for this deal?
    $500 trade in bonus + Pixel credit $990 = $1490.

            @killabob: Just went the other way, Samsung has great hardware but the camera shutter lag and photo quality is still crap like since s20.

            For camera pixel wins but everything else s23 ultra

            But no curved display is a big win too.

                Same issue I returned s21 for. Reviews say pictures are great but my mate 20 pro was way better.

                Pixel is the only phone that has an objectively better camera than mate 20 imo.

                Samsung camera on paper is great but it takes many shots to get a good one.

                  @badonde: Pixel has plenty of drawbacks too. But it depends what your priority is.
                  If camera is not your priority s23 ultra seems like a no brainer

                  @badonde: Mate 20 pro is unbeatable. I "upgraded" to an s23 and regret it.

                  The mate 20 pro IR face unlock is still market leading, can unlock at night guaranteed. My s23 can never do that at night. Battery life is worse on s23.

                  Also fingerprint is so bad on s23, hope Huawei can get google stores in future sometime. I'd jump back on the mate pro series.

Now I went back to the email and clicked get coupon for Samsung and I got one. can u use both pixel and Samsung coupon. Can I use that? in the terms it mentions 1 coupon per trade in

      looks like it, I think earlier comment said so.

  • bisaya on 18/11/2023 - 11:23

        oh man this is a tough choice. i was leaning p8p but with snapdragon, s23 ultra could be the go

        • mg_k on 18/11/2023 - 12:36

          You are insane to go with p8p.

          It is no match to the Samsung, unless you love overheating and lagfest.

          • badonde on 18/11/2023 - 14:14

            @mg_k: Meh I had both and S23 is superior but if you value pixels unique features they are hard to live without.

            voice dictation I use constantly

            Turning off mic and camera at hardware level for privacy.

            Camera also

            The voice dictation and poor camera was enough reason to go back to pixel .

            But I am not a gamer , I just want the best camera and decent battery.

              @badonde: Best camera goes to Samsung. Your AI is no match to superior hardware. Besides the Pixel can't even focus properly and hunts half the time lol

              Decent battery on p8p? Hahah that's laughable.

              It overheats and lags constantly. Battery life is no match to the Samsung with the interior Tizen cpu.

                @mg_k: I preferred the photos on Pixel 7 over my S23 Ultra so much I installed modded gcam lol there are a lot less noise in photos now but still not as good as Pixel 7.

                Video is a lot better on S23U with Samsung camera tho.

      snap, Samsung stopped using their own shit for premium models

          p8p is pure android
          samsung has its oneui bloatware which is loaded with features but is slow and unpolished, had 8gb ram so apps will keep reloading on resume.

          Avoid the pixel like the plague

  • hmmz on 18/11/2023 - 11:28

    I wonder if there'll be any additional discounts for the early black friday tomorrow…

    Anyone who purchased today pls confirm how the invoice and gst amount looks? Is it showing as full amount or less coupon value. Am checking for TRS purpose.

    • abs898 on 18/11/2023 - 11:46

      I will probably be less that's how discount and GST works

    • cookietime on 18/11/2023 - 13:02

      Mine shows the amount before trade-in discount, i.e. $1087.

      • Hunt is On on 18/11/2023 - 14:13

        Any idea, how invoice will look, if I pay by gift card.. same TRS purpose.
        Shall i pay with 5% GC available or pay by card and claim 10% GST.

          you claim the 10% GST amount
          Invoice will show.

          Payment method
          Gift Card

          Total amount paid $349.00
          Includes $31.73 GST

    Why bother with deals like this? You can literally buy on Ebay someone selling 1TB version for this price.

    Wow, this makes the iPhone 14 pro max irrelevant.

  • OZBsince2018 on 18/11/2023 - 11:54

    Does 256GB model has 8GB RAM?

      Yes

      • hopper on 18/11/2023 - 12:09

        Hate when company like samsung try to save money with such cheap tricks

  • CheapCharIie on 18/11/2023 - 12:05

    Anyone have advice on whether to go for this or Pixel 8 Pro at the student 10% price?

    I'm upgrading from a S20 FE. Main gripe currently with my S20 FE is battery life and camera. Everything I read on comparison is conflicting so I've just been more confused.
