At the end of 2023, the technology market witnessed the launch of many new smartphone models and processors.
However, as the price of Snapdragon and Dimensity chips is also increasing, many people may consider buying high-end smartphones using older chips. This is completely reasonable when old high-end smartphones still retain their value and impressive performance. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is fully capable of meeting the daily needs of consumers. Therefore, it would be a mistake not to learn about smartphones using this chip that were launched on the market this year.
Xiaomi 14 Series
In the context of a lot of information surrounding Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 14 still affirms its position with outstanding hardware advantages. The product is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, large main camera and high-quality telephoto camera, providing strong performance and impressive photography capabilities. But Xiaomi 14 also has some disadvantages such as the fingerprint sensor has a slightly slow focus time and the battery life is not really impressive.
Xiaomi 14 is priced very well.
In addition, this product line also attracts attention with the Xiaomi 14 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Ultra models. While the Xiaomi 14 Pro is a notable choice, the current price is still not really attractive. As for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, this product not only possesses sharp images and powerful configuration but is also equipped with a curved screen with four microphones and two-way satellite communication capabilities. However, the product is not officially distributed to the Vietnamese market.
Realme GT5 Pro
Realme GT5 Pro is expected to “reshape” the mid-range smartphone segment. This product is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, combined with an effective 3VC cooling system and a large capacity 5,400 mAh battery, promising to bring impressive performance.
Realme GT5 Pro can record 4K Dolby Vision videos.
The highlight of the Realme GT5 Pro is its fast charging capability with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging - a relatively rare feature in this price segment. However, what really makes this product stand out is the camera configuration. The main camera uses the LYT-808 sensor, accompanied by a 2.7x Sony IMX890 periscope telephoto lens and a Sony IMX355 wide-angle lens that allows for 4K Dolby Vision video recording.
With impressive image configuration, Realme GT5 Pro is hard to compete with in the price range of about 12 million VND (hand-carried goods because they are not officially distributed in Vietnam). However, one thing to note is the curved screen of the device, which some users may not like.
Vivo X100 Ultra
The prominence of Vivo X100 Ultra in the smartphone industry is undeniable, especially when compared to competitors in this year's technology race. The improvements in image optimization on the device bring some pleasant surprises as the product has made significant strides in terms of images.
Vivo X100 Ultra has many relatively attractive features.
In addition, the Vivo X200 series has also been completed and is expected to launch in the near future. The X200 Pro, the high-end version, is said to inherit the 200 MP lens and own a four-curved screen with equivalent depth. If you are looking for a new screen design, you may want to wait to own this phone.
OPPO Find X7 Ultra
After many OTA updates, Find X7 Ultra is now in its most optimal mode. The screen and image quality of this device are both top-notch, especially with the combination of dual periscope and 4 cameras that bring great photography effects.
