That looks really hard to hold.

Edit: also, it’s less than half the speed of a year old iPhone according to geekbench scores… so wooo I guess.

Powered by Huawei’s self-developed Kirin 9020 chipset and running on the company’s proprietary HarmonyOS ecosystem, the Mate XTs boasted a 36 per cent performance improvement, Richard Yu Chengdong, chairman of Huawei’s consumer business group, said during the launch event in Shenzhen on Thursday.

Honestly the iPhone performance is over rated now.

I just came from an Android 9 Razer Phone 2 (with an ancient SD845) to a brand new iPhone 16 plus…

And the IPhone feels slower.

The UI is slower. Scrolling is more stuttery. Heavy webpages that ran fine on my Android phone crawl on the iPhone. It literally has the same amount of RAM (8GB), so it can’t run anything more complex either. And it’s more unintuitive too, with all these slow and wierd gestures just to do basic things, while other features are convoluted.

And I used to be a massive iOS fanboy. I just want my jailbroken iPhone 5 back :(

You went from a 120 Hz display to 60 Hz, literally half the speed. Could’ve gone 13 Pro or Pro Max and had a better experience. Yeah, it sucks. Apple really gimps their non-pro models with displays. The Plus is just a base iPhone but bigger.

Yeah, I know :(.

I only got a Plus becauise it was at a deep 'loss leader' discount from AT&T, literally cheaper than old 15s. Can't complain too much over that, I guess... And I only left the RP2 behind because it microphone is likely clogged with dust, and I'm a little worried about security on it.
