Hello,
I’ll be making an investment into a new phone soon after using my note 8 since launch. Due to financial reasons it’ll be a huge investment and I want to make the right call. My note 8s battery barely lasts me 3/4ths of a day now.
I feel like it would feel like a downgrade if I got the S23+ with FHD resolution but the price gap is quite large too. Does the Ultras battery last longer than plus? What about the hardware? Is it worth the investment? I do use my phones for 4+ years.
What would you guys recommend?
The resolution won’t be noticeable and I always drop my phones to the lowest resolution to save on battery life. The S23+ is also slightly smaller, so ppi is better.
You could also hold out for the S24 launch, or at least wait for holiday sales as they try to get rid of old stock before the new launch.
Except it does. Dropping your screen resolution in software doesn’t magically change the pixel layout, all the pixels are still on.
Won’t rly save on battery as all the pixels are Still being used.
It’s easier to render lower resolution so APU uses less energy.
Won’t make a noticeable change on powerful phones.
Dropping resolution doesnt do much for extending batterylife on social media apps…lowering gaming settings or refresh rate does…and text will be noticably sharper on native wqhd…but why would you buy flagship phone then??
