As someone who doesn't take selfies at all, this is currently a prime candidate for my next phone. I'll wait a bit more to see what others have to offer before pulling the trigger, though.
Cheaper but more powerful and more capable. Tho Samsung has a few extra nice to have features, for overall price to performance, I think iQoo 12 is king. For now at least.
Helpful comparison. Having a Samsung S9, it would be really useful to see some OneUI v Funtouch OS comparisons. Things like multi-window, pop-up view, multi-sound?, Duel-messenger, any secure app folder or similar?, face unlock?

@@RedskullPro Thanks for your consideration. I took a lot for granted on Samsung - like multi-window and routines, multi sound and the very useful secure folder and was disappointed pixel and iPhone lag behind. Im not sure what other Android flavours offer so it could be useful to me and others.
One small thing i noticed at 10:43 while you were running, is that the mountain looks kinda jiggly in iqoo 12 whereas it looks normal in S23, i don't understand why, maybe the way ois works is different in both the phones
I think the Samsung S23 is a good option here because it has wireless reverse wireless charging, a good UI, and long-term updates. It also has better brand value and a better display with AI features.

The image quality of the iqoo is obviously worse, I am not sure why you say it's better. It's got lower dynamic range, unnatural skin tone, and it's got a plastic and digital look, while the s23 is closer to a camera.
@@RedskullPro LOL, the fact you people are so sensitive and not able to make a cogent response just shows how pathetic you really are.

Confused between the S23 and iQOO 12 in the sale . Which one should I go for? The S23 has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, while the iQOO 12 comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Thank you .
the iqoo 12 is better at everything except for cameras...depends what is the most important thing for you...my buddy has been using this iqoo 12 since i finished this video and absolutely loves it
@@RedskullPro I hope the rumors last week that said that Exynose will be only in S24 while S24+ and Ultra of course with Snapdragon were true. Well maybe not, cause IceUniverse says the S24+ will use Exynos too. Its a shame.
I was thinking about having the IQOO 12 imported because I come from Germany. I have currently only found the China version Origin OS And unfortunately no Funtouch OS, could you perhaps tell me where you can order it and whether it can then be set to German with Funtouch OS. Kind regards :)
Mind-boggling why these chinese phones, even the flagship ones cant come up with high quality selfie camera. They always have this "digitally upscaled" look on them. I never shoot 4k videos with the ff camera on any phone, but I take lots of selfies with my family and friends, and that is why I still prefer either Samsung Iphone or Pixel, not because they're better with their back cameras than most Chinese phones, but they have a great set of cameras front and back.
