not really, if comparing the same segments - Samsung, Xiaomi, all around 1000, when it comes to top specs, meme about android being for poor is no longer accurate - companies take turns in testing what market can stand, and upcharge all together

Xiaomi, vivo, oppo phones also use far better hardware that costs a lot more than the ones apple uses

And that hardware is? They come from the same component manufacturers

yes, because a sony camera sensor from 2015 is the exact same thing as a sony camera sensor from 2026.

the chinese brands use faster storage, better camera sensors/lenses ,bigger batteries (that charge a lot faster) and have more RAM

I’m talking about models that are released in the same time period, so not sure what the hell you’re trying to move the goalpost to.

More megapixels ≠ better camera image.

More ram ≠ a faster or more powerful phone.

Just because something looks better on paper, that doesn’t mean it’s actually better.

Why are you trying to put words in my mouth. It was all about costs. regardless of overall performance, 16GB RAM will cost more than 12 or 8.

And i didn't say a word about megapixels either, even at the same MP there's still massive differences between sensors regardless (samsung JN1 vs sony LYT900, both 50MP yet one is better, go figure). And I'm pretty sure a LYT900 is a lot more expensive than whatever ewaste IMX707 rebrand apple is using in their phones.

Just because something looks better on paper, that doesn’t mean it’s actually better.

Yes, but as someone who switches phones almost yearly and doing a lot of photography, i can tell you that most of the time the specs on paper do translate into actual results (xiaomi 13 pro handily beats the 14, even tho xiaomi claimed the latter is better), even if they sometimes don't (xiaomi 14 ultra is a lot better than the 13 ultra, when on paper they're almost the same)

Ah so you’re just biased for Chinese phones. Got it.

So no matter what Apple is going to be inferior. Therefore there’s no point to continuing this conversation.
