Tech Q&A With a budget of 5999 yuan, should I buy an Android flagship or an iPhone 15?

Android flagship or iPhone 15 Which should I buy with a budget of 5999 yuan?

【Q&A on Mobile Phones】On September 13th, the iPhone 15 series was officially released, and the long-awaited new iPhone has finally arrived. Despite previous rumors that the iPhone 15 series would increase in price, in fact, it did not. The iPhone 15 series still starts at 5999 yuan.

Although the price did not increase, 5999 yuan is not cheap either. This price can only buy the lowest-end version of the iPhone 15 series, but it can also be used to choose a good Android flagship phone. Holding 5999 yuan, whether to choose an Android flagship or the iPhone 15 has become a dilemma for many netizens.

As Lei Jun said, “One flower does not make spring, but a garden is full of various flowers and plants.” September is not only the month for Huawei and Apple, but also the month for other brands. Recently, the OPPO A2 Pro and the new foldable phone V Purse from Honor have also appeared during this period and have attracted a lot of attention from netizens.

1. Holding 5999 yuan, should I buy an Android flagship or the iPhone 15?

2. Is the OPPO A2 Pro worth buying?

3. I heard that the price of the Honor V Purse folding phone is surprising, should I wait for it?

4. I want to buy a phone for my mom as a gift for Mid-Autumn Festival. Do you have any recommendations within a budget of 2000 yuan?

Holding 5999 yuan: Buy an Android flagship or the iPhone 15?

Recently, the iPhone 15 series was officially released, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. They are priced at 5999 yuan and up, 6999 yuan and up, 7999 yuan and up, and 9999 yuan and up, respectively.

iPhone 15 series

Holding 5999 yuan can only buy the standard version of the iPhone 15, and it is the 128GB version. If you want to further purchase the 256GB version or the 15 Plus, you need to add an additional 1000 yuan.

Compared with the previous generation, the iPhone 15 standard version has been upgraded to the A16 chip and adopts the Dynamic Island design. It is equipped with a USB-C interface and the main camera has also been upgraded to 48 million pixels, which can bring a better overall experience. It is said that the iPhone has a good user experience and will not lag even after using it for a few years. However, this advantage is not very significant for a phone with only 128GB of storage.

With the increasing pixel count of smartphones nowadays, simply taking a few photos and videos will fill up the phone’s memory in one or two years, and the future smartphone pixel count will continue to increase. A phone can only be comfortably used for one or two years, and after that, every time you take a photo while traveling, you have to delete one, which is very frustrating and greatly reduces the user experience (don’t ask me how I know). If you have experienced the pain of insufficient memory, you probably won’t choose the 128GB version again.

Huawei Mate60 Price

Buying an iPhone for 5,999 yuan can be considered “tight”, but for buying an Android phone, 5,999 yuan is considered a “mid-range budget” and you can choose a slightly better version. Taking the recently released Huawei Mate60 as an example, for 5,999 yuan, you can buy the Mate60 12GB+512GB version, which will be fine for four years and you can freely take photos while going out. Some other Android flagships can also be bought easily, such as the OPPO Find X6 Pro, which is currently priced at only 5,699 yuan for the 12GB+256GB version; the Xiaomi 13 Pro 12GB+512GB version is currently priced at only 5,899 yuan.

Xiaomi 13 Pro

Nowadays, smartphone technology is getting higher and the quality is getting better. Any flagship phone can be used for three to four years easily, but if you buy insufficient storage, it will not be enough. In addition, compared with the iPhone, Android flagships have faster charging speeds, better signal quality, and are more convenient for daily travel. Moreover, most Android flagships now support telephoto shooting. Telephoto shooting can bring a more considerate user experience in crowded places for taking scenery photos, capturing idols at concerts, and capturing distant signs. It is also a “once you use it, you can’t go back” feature. However, this feature can only be experienced on the top-of-the-line version of the iPhone.

Is OPPO A2 Pro worth buying?

On September 15th, OPPO A2 Pro was officially released with a starting price of 1799 yuan.

OPPO A2 Pro

As a thousand-yuan phone, OPPO A2 Pro does not disappoint in terms of appearance. The official introduction states that the camera module of this phone adopts the design of “mirror of the sky” and exudes extraordinary aura. The phone is equipped with a 3D curved body, weighing about 183g and being about 7.99mm thin, making it very comfortable to hold. The color scheme of Desert Brown adopts a coarse lychee skin design, and there are also two other color options: Twilight Purple and Deep Black.

OPPO A2 Pro supports 67W SuperVOOC charging, which can fully charge the 5000mAh battery in just 42 minutes and charge the battery to 54% in 20 minutes. In addition, one of the features of this phone is the four-year battery replacement, which is the only one in the industry.

OPPO A2 Pro

OPPO A2 Pro adopts a diamond shock-resistant structure, which can withstand four years of use, and also supports IP54-level waterproofing, making it resistant to daily water exposure. The phone is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chip, which uses TSMC’s 6nm process and has an Antutu benchmark score of over 600,000. It has also passed the OPPO Lab’s 48-month smooth performance test and obtained the TV NANDA 48-month A-level smoothness certification.

In terms of the screen and imaging, OPPO A2 Pro is equipped with a 6.7-inch flagship-grade eye-protection dual-curved screen, supporting a 120Hz high refresh rate and a 2160Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming. The rear camera is equipped with a 64-megapixel main lens and supports 4-in-1 pixel fusion technology.

Overall, OPPO A2 Pro has balanced configurations in all aspects and is a good choice in the thousand-yuan price range.

I heard that the price of the Honor V Purse folding phone is surprising, should we wait for it?

On September 1st, Honor released a new concept phone called the Honor V Purse wallet folding screen at the IFA exhibition. The folding state of the Honor V Purse wallet folding screen has a thickness of less than 9mm, and imaginatively creates a fashionable wallet form for folding screen phones, combining fashion and technology.

Honor V Purse

The Honor V Purse will be officially released in China on September 19th. Is it worth waiting for? I think it is.

According to the official information, the Honor V Purse has at least three highlights: when opened, it has a 2K high-definition eye-protecting large screen; when closed, it is like a thin and fashionable wallet; when flipped, it becomes a super versatile camera.

Unlike traditional folding screens, the Honor V Purse is lighter, more practical, and more beautiful. This new folding screen phone also appears to use high-quality materials in design and production, emphasizing both practicality and aesthetics. It can meet users’ daily needs and add unique charm to their social activities. In terms of accessories, the official also introduced a lanyard that can be attached, making the Honor V Purse like a small bag that girls carry, not only a phone, but also more like an accessory.

The imaging capability of the Honor V Purse can rival many straight-screen phones. It flips into a super versatile camera that can easily take portrait photos comparable to DSLRs, satisfying the self-portrait needs of female users.

In terms of daily use, the Honor V Purse is equipped with a 2K ultra-clear eye-protection screen, supporting a 2K resolution. This means that the display effect is very delicate and also provides excellent eye protection.

More importantly, the thickness of the Honor V Purse is less than 9mm, which is thinner and lighter than flat panel flagships, breaking the boundaries of foldable screens and flat panel phones. From the 9.9mm of the Honor Magic V2 to the less than 9mm of the V Purse, the progress is not just 1mm, but also a breakthrough in thinking. Zhao Ming, CEO of Honor Terminal, said that the Honor V Purse is a true foldable screen like a traditional flat panel phone, which can provide the same interactive experience as a flat panel phone.

Honor foldable screen leak

Lastly, and most importantly, with so many high-tech features, the leaked pricing of the Honor V Purse may be around 5000-6000 yuan, making it one of the cheapest horizontally foldable screen phones currently available.

Thinking of giving my mom a phone for Mid-Autumn Festival, any recommendations within a budget of 2000 yuan?

The newly released OPPO A2 Pro is pretty good.

The OPPO A2 Pro comes in three versions: 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB, priced at 1799 yuan, 1999 yuan, and 2399 yuan respectively. With a budget of 2000 yuan, either the 8GB+256GB or 12GB+256GB is sufficient.

OPPO A2 Pro

Although it is a budget phone, the OPPO A2 Pro’s appearance design is not perfunctory. The phone adopts a 3D curved body, providing a comfortable grip. It is available in three colors: Dark Black, Twilight Purple, and Desert Brown. Users can freely choose different versions based on their color preferences. In addition, the OPPO A2 Pro is equipped with a 6.7-inch flagship-level eye-protection curved screen, supporting a 120Hz high refresh rate. It is powered by the Dimensity 7050 flagship chip, built on a 6nm low-power process, with an Antutu benchmark score exceeding 600,000, capable of meeting various daily usage needs. It also supports 67W fast charging and a four-year free battery replacement, ensuring smooth use for four years!

And there’s also the upcoming Redmi Note 13 series worth waiting for. It goes without saying how well the “Little King Kong” series from Redmi has been selling. Last year, the Note series accumulated global sales exceeding 300 million, indicating the level of recognition people have for this series of smartphones. In the mid-to-low-end price range, Redmi has always been the most practical presence, and I believe the Note 13 series will not disappoint.

Redmi Note 13 series

According to official announcements, the Redmi Note 13 series is equipped with a newly developed 200 million pixel large bottom sensor produced through joint tuning by Redmi and Samsung SOCELL, which can bring a faster and clearer photography experience. The Note 13 Pro+ will also be equipped with Redmi’s first curved screen, with a chin as narrow as 2.37mm, and it will also feature Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, which is sturdy and durable. In terms of appearance, the Note 13 Pro+ emphasizes the “Light Dream Space” color scheme and adopts a splicing design, with a high texture and recognition. The Note 13 Pro emphasizes the “Star Sand White” color scheme and adopts a double glass body and trendy small edges.

Most importantly, judging from the pricing of the previous generation products, the prices of the Note 13 Pro and Note 13 Pro+ should be around 2000 yuan, and the starting price of the Pro version may even be around 1600 or 1700 yuan.

vivo S17

In addition, the OPPO K11, which will be released at the end of July, and the vivo S17, which officially went on sale in June, are also good choices. These are both popular models from OPPO and vivo, and their offline sales have always been very good. I believe your mother will definitely like them.

Price of Huawei Mate60

However, this feature can only be experienced on the top-end version of the iPhone.
