    Rear camera: Wide (main): 50 MP, f/1.8, 24mm, 1/1.56"

    That’s not a very big sensor for a premium phone main camera.
    Seems like we now get cheaper camera to compensate for more expensive SOC?

    Display: 6.78" LTPO AMOLED, 1B colors, 165Hz, PWM

    PWM at what frequency? PWM is awful if it is not very high frequency as it creates flicker in the display. The only advantage to PWM is that it is dirt cheap to make and very easy to work with from a hardware perspective.

    Not exactly a phone I’m getting excited about. I would have preferred better display and a higher end Camera system, and then a slightly slower SOC.
    High end SOC’s are so fast now, that they are not a real limitation in my use of a modern phone, even if they are not the top model.

    Just look at the Pixel phones, their SOC is about half as fast as top Snapdragon and Dimensity , and AFAIK nobody I have heard of is complaining about them being slow. It only shows on benchmarks, but is irrelevant for 99% of users.

    Edit PS:
    The 99% number is a very accurate statistic number I pulled from my…
    Oh never mind. I hope you get my drift.

      Its not about speed. But, battery and heat where people complain the most about. Even Google’s return and complaints data showed people complained about their phones being bad with heat.

      Not exactly a phone I’m getting excited about. I would have preferred better display and a higher end Camera system, and then a slightly slower SOC.

      Oneplus had no option but to ship 8 Elite gen 5 since there was no other newer soc on the market and shipping an older soc would’ve meant being inferior to other phones like samsung and losing sales to others like Iqoo, xiaomi, realme, and others.

      Things like camera sensor are not something people can easily see. But, you can easily check the processor and see if its better and faster.
