Especially for companies bots/marketers and simply idiots: Shipments have been falling for 5 quarters in a row, which indicates a systemic problem - smartphones no longer meet the expectations of a large part of the world's population.

People don't want to ruin their eyesight and nerves on the damn flickering AMOLED, with a lower real resolution than on IPS.

Until manufacturers realize that people only need Flicker Free screens with panel resolutions no lower than IPS (real 400 ppi +), there will be NO improvements in the markets.

Idiot without arguments.

Sales are falling not because the market is oversaturated, but because there is nothing to choose from among the deposits of outright s***.

Quote from: NikoB on April 18, 2023, 13:49:19I applaud the progress in SoCs, but smartphone sales will drop further, for a simple reason - people don't want wildly flickering, fade-in resolutions lower than Flicker Free IPS. People have begun to understand screen technologies and do not want to spoil their vision behind the flickering AMOLED screens with Pentile.

If 3 is a crowd then media tek's upcoming dimensity 9300 chip is the one joining in the battle of upcoming chips Qualcomm snapdragon 8 gen 3 and Apple A17 bionic. Fierce competition will drive up phone features and technology, hopefully it will lower prices on phones using one of those powerful chips.

You are apparently a newfangled idiot, because all adequate people need my requirements, and the failure of sales in 2022 and 2023 by tens of percent suggests otherwise. =)

Most people on the planet do NOT need smartphone games and entertainment as adults. A smartphone is an autonomous working tool for them. There should be a reliable and eye-friendly non-flickering screen. And the operating time of the smartphone with the screen on is at least 12-16 hours. Plus video recording in 4k@60fps with OIS and with high-quality bitrate from 80Mbps. And SSD/NAND from 512GB (it costs less than $50 today for middle class smartpones it pennies in total price) and RAM from 8GB, at least.

Plus, normal secure firmware with an integrated firewall that allows you to block unauthorized access to the network by any application and system software.

No ads and other crap in the firmware.

And of course, a battery with a charging threshold of at least 5%, as in all laptops (except for moronic laptops from Huawei, where batteries are deliberately killed by the lack of a protective self-discharge threshold), i.e. when charged to 100%, turns off battery charging until its charge drops to at least 95%. And it is better that this threshold be, as in normal laptops, programmable.

Also, all smartphones have long been required to have an HDMI2.1/DP1.4 output on usb-c and parallel power with a mouse and keyboard connected via a usb docking station, so that they can easily turn into a nettop at home, working like laptops from charging psu. Until it's in a $300 STANDARD smartphone, sales will drop.
