* TOP Selfie* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: The small version of iPhone 16 Pro Max is a technological marvel (with a less-than-a-day battery life). It offers outstanding video recoding, top processor, screen and a camera like iPhone 16 Pro Max but trades battery endurance for a one hand size. The new camera control button may be just a gimmick but some of the Apple AI tricks have arrived at the end of October and help make 2024 iPhones that much better.
PROs
smooth A18 Pro chip performance, >1700nits bright (460ppi) LTPO OLED with Dolby Vision, up to 6m of water submersion, the 16 Pro Max matching camera setup: 48MP main and 12MP tele with OIS and PDAF plus a 48MP PDAF ultrawide, a 12MP OIS PDAF Selfie and up to 6 years of updates of already very mature iOS
CONs
lack of innovation in recent years, disappointing AI effort, barely a day of battery endurance, >90min 45W slow battery charging (25W wireless), lack of expandable storage, no Desktop replacement software

EDITORIAL: As last year, Vivo's subbrand IQOO released it's top phone as soon as the best Snapdragon chip became available. This year there is no Pro model, just one amazing gaming powerhouse with a 6000+mAh Silicon Carbon battery that provides exceptional battery runtime. The screen is also outstanding, performing better than most flagships. If you can live with a good (but not great) cameras and you're okay with a phone this big - IQOO 13 (and OnePlus 13) should be at the top of your list.
PROs
SD 8 Elite processor and top performance scores, a 6150mAh Silicone Carbon battery with top battery endurance with very fast 120W wired (no wireless) charging, excellent 1800nits (>500ppi) LTPO AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 water protection, good 50MP main + 50MP tele with OIS and PDAF + 50MP ultrawide with AF, light and fast Funtouch OS with 4 years of OS updates
CONs
big size, selfie with no AF, lack of expandable SDmemory storage and a lack of desktop replacement software
