In fact, smartphone design is not boring. Manufacturers keep improving little by little over the years. Through the survey, the large screen outside the flip screen is the innovation most loved by users, followed by integrated AI features on ChatGPT applications on phones.







Old phones are still a reasonable choice for many users. Compared to this year's flagships, 2022 premium phones are cheaper in 2023 and still have long-term software support!





Genshin Impact/Call of Duty/Fortnite lovers always need phones with powerful configuration and specialized design! This year, the Asus ROG Phone 7 series won the championship.




Good priced phones are not the lowest priced smartphones but are products that are worth the price. Among them, Pixel 7a and Galaxy A54 5G have the upper hand.








Obviously, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is still more popular and loved. Currently, the selling price of the device has also been reduced quite a lot compared to when it was first opened for sale.




Foldable phones have also had a lot of innovations this year, so who is the "winner"? The answer is OnePlus Open. Their advantage is that the rear camera takes better photos, and the interface and features are more extensive than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5.




Cameras are the biggest focus of all smartphone manufacturers. So what is the best camera phone on the market? The answer is the Galaxy S23 Ultra with a 200MP camera and impressive 10x zoom capability.





Smartphones are getting larger and larger with extremely "huge" screens! However, the large screen of the Galaxy S 23 Ultra is still the "champion" with a 6.8-inch screen. Behind the product is the iPhone 15 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch screen.




With the addition of a 48MP telephoto camera, this iPhone Pro Max will have 3 excellent 48MP cameras.

According to famous analyst Jeff Pu, iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a 48-megapixel Tele lens.




In a latest note focusing on Apple supplier Largan Precision, Jeff Pu said that the iPhone 17 Pro Max's 48-megapixel telephoto camera will be optimized for use with Apple's upcoming Vision Pro glasses. It is predicted that Vision Pro glasses will be launched in the US in early 2024. Besides, Mr. Jeff Pu did not provide any further details about the lens or how the product will communicate with Vision Pro.




iPhone 17 Pro Max will have up to 3 48MP cameras.




Currently, the iPhone 15 Pro models have a 48-megapixel main lens, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens. Starting with iOS 17.2, these devices can capture spatial video with 3D depth for playback on Vision Pro. When held in landscape orientation, the main lens and ultra-wide lens combine to capture spatial video with additional depth.




Earlier this year, Jeff Pu said that iPhone 16 Pro models will have a 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Therefore, iPhone 17 Pro Max will be the first iPhone model to have a 48-megapixel rear camera system. Higher resolution results in images with more detail, which is useful for cropping and printing.
