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: Last yearâs Vivo flagship is so good, it just left the Top 30. It features last yearâs top Mediatec processor and a slightly bigger battery than Vivoâs top phone, X100 Ultra. The camera here is marginally weaker but amazing battery life, fast charging, excellent performance and the wonderful build that Vivo is known for, make this phone stand out. If only Vivo offered memory expansion, desktop repacement or a longer software update policyâ¦
PROs
good Dimensity 9300 performance, a 2-day excellent 5400mAh (Lithium) battery endurance with very fast (0-100% in 35min) charging, top main and tele (both 50MP OIS PDAF) lenses with a respectable pics from 50MP AF ultrawide
CONs
slippery build, 225gr heavy body, mediocre selfie and lack of SDmemory, desktop replacement or looking OS update support (updated Apr 16, 2025)
