              You definately have to switch 14t pro with 14t in the flagship killer category and 14t with 14t pro in the premium all rounder category.I'm 100% sure you did that by mistake since premium all rounders are better that flagship killers.

                Tyfyh, 28 Aug 2024Please stop putting $500+ phones in flagship killers. They are not killers, they are flagship ... moreIkr, I bought a note 10 plus in 2019 on black friday, literally the year it came out, for the price their top pick, the 14t pro, is. Yeah you can bring inflation into the mix but then it's even worse to argue in favor of 700 to 800 euro "flagship killers". At least if you bring in an actually great example like the nubia z60 ultra thats 600 to 700 euros depending on where you buy, half the price of the s24 ultra yet it has the same overclocked chip you find in the s24 ultra, but with a different name, it might lack in some aspects like the front facing camera is bad and it doesn't have 100x zoom like the s24 ultra but otherwise it's exactly what you'd call a flagship, not a flagship killer, at half the price.

                      A true flagship killer would be a snapdragon 8 gen 3 android phone for less than 500 dollars.Now something like that would be the new king of flagship killers.But that would be asking too much as this companies are too greedy.

                        Reason there scammers which have temper tampons when they don't get there on way and hurt and abuse any tech reviewer which doesn't give them a good review bullying basically
                        There a bad sport as well by the way

                            Why is this not updated? It's been about 4-5 months already and lots of phones have been released.

                                deRykcihC, 18 Dec 2023No way there are placing OnePlus 10 Pro in this list, the phone throttles with it's 8gen1... moreIdk dude, I got a Oneplus Ace 2/11R, and it also throttles as soon as temp starts to increase. My brother also has a Nubia Z50 that does the same. Both reach temps between 39-42 degrees, so unless you have an external cooler, you'll see a performance drop.

                                  one plus 10 pro reaches max 42 degrees celsius in heavy games at max settings like genshin and even with the heat the performance is pretty high
