  • Love the high refresh rate display, makes my old 13 look feel sluggish even though it’s perfectly fine performance wise.

    I have a minor grip with the camera though. When I’m taking a 5x picture of something not too far away, the camera app with automatically switch to the telephoto lens with no way to manually set it to the 5x lens again. I was taking a picture of an orchid in our balcony that grew quite a lengths away and was apparently around the distance threshold for the automatic switching, as some shots managed to be taken by the 5x lens and they looked great, but most of the shots were in the telephoto lens and was way worse.

    Also the lens switching when zooming in or out during a video isn’t as smooth as most reviewers made it out to be. The lens switch is still very noticeable.


  • I just tested it with the other steaming services I have.

    Netflix, HBO, Prime Video, Apple TV+ all casted the shows no problem. It played the video only on the monitor, leaving playback control on the phone screen.

    I’m using the Philippines version of these apps, some will be the same as the global build, some like HBO is a local variant operated by a third party, so your mileage may vary.
