Here it comes! 2023 "Double Festival" mobile phone recommendation!
Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday, have you friends gone home for a reunion!
Before, many friends gave feedback to Guozi that they wanted to take a trip home and change a new mobile phone for their families.

It just so happens that there are many new machines recently, so the fruit will come to make a long-lost mobile phone recommendation. Happy holidays to everyone too!
Things to do before you buy
1. Buy online (offline)?
I personally recommend buying online. However, considering that offline stores may beat gongs and drums, everyone may be more willing to take the elders out for a walk in order to make a lively.
Therefore, buying fruits in offline stores is also very supportive, and the advantage is that it is convenient for elders to know where to go for after-sales in the future.
2. Refer to the price description
This issue is still the same as before, without the "chaban" ingredient. The reference price is mainly based on the official stores or official subsidies of major e-commerce platforms.
Since it is an online price, the price will be more or less cheaper than that of offline stores. This is normal, if the friends take their families to the store to buy, the difference is acceptable within 200 yuan.
Okay, without further ado, let's go directly to product selection and reference!
Product Reference
1. Entry-level model (less than 1000 RMB)
This type of model is more for the elderly and children, and the fruit requirements for it are "low price, no stuttering".
Redmi 12R
Reference price: 825 yuan ( 6 + 128GB )
This phone is Redmi's new entry model, which is almost the same as the hardware configuration of Redmi 12, missing NFC. The price is also a little cheaper.
The biggest advantage of this mobile phone is that it is equipped with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 platform, and the performance is equal to the Snapdragon 695, while the power consumption is far ahead of the latter.

There is also no castration on the screen, and an LCD screen with a 1080P + 90Hz refresh rate is used. The fuselage is a rare glass material at this price point.
This model has also become the "bottom line of performance" of the mobile phone in Guozi's heart, so other entry-level machines are not recommended next.

Some friends may think that it is still a little expensive, and the fruit is also mentioned here. Go to a store similar to a certain East store and a certain number of stores, only about 600 yuan can get the 4 + 128GB version.
Don't care about what post-sealing and other issues, this is just a 600 yuan mobile phone, it is not too much to say that it is "sent by charging the phone fee", just have fun with it.
2. Mid-range model (1000 - 2000 yuan)
This price segment is currently the low-end market that manufacturers are fighting for the most. However, you can still only choose the level of performance in the middle and upper reaches. The fruit is recommended to give priority to performance.
iQOO Z8
Reference price: 1599 yuan ( 8 + 256GB )
This starting price is a bit high, but if you think about it, it's nothing "True · Thousand-dollar machine" uses the Snapdragon 778, and now the storage is at least 256GB to meet the demand.
Counting the old model to choose 256GB is also this price, so I directly recommend this machine.
This machine is equipped with Dimensity 8200, which is still good enough at the current price, the screen is an LCD screen with a better color grading, supports a 120Hz high brush, and supports 120W longevity version fast charging.
It is worth noting that this generation is finally not like the previous generation of castrated memory and flash specifications, using LPDDR5 and UFS3.1.

Cons: The appearance is a bit old. Now it is popular to have a right-angle middle frame, and the appearance is high. But under normal circumstances, the feel should be not as good as the rounded corners of the old model.
Realme GT Neo5 SE
Reference price: 1859 yuan ( 12 + 256GB )
The name of this phone is really long. Similar to it is the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, originally the fruit personally preferred the appearance and texture of the latter, but it was more than a hundred yuan more expensive, so it was excluded.
This machine is equipped with the rare Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 platform, which has better performance and power consumption than the Dimensity 8200. The screen is a 1.5K OLED high-brush screen that is available at this price point, and supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.
In terms of charging, there is a long-life fast charge of 100W, the battery capacity has reached 5500mAh, and there is a dual-band GPS positioning that is often reduced at the same price.

Capable little partner fruit more recommended 2099 yuan on the 16+1TB version, that is, to go to the memory, this mobile phone is not a loss.
Cons: The appearance is really a bit retro. After all, it is the ultimate cost-effective route, and the appearance texture can only use the male model.
Redmi Note13 Pro+
Reference price: 1899 yuan ( 12 + 256GB )
This phone is a new mid-to-high-end new product from Redmi, but unlike the past, it does not take the performance route, but the exquisite route.
Originally, this kind of machine is difficult to have a place in this kind of copywriting, so the reason why Fruit chose it is IP68 dustproof and waterproof, which is definitely far ahead of the competitiveness at this price!
This machine is equipped with the Dimensity 7200-Ultra platform, look at the number, you can also know, the performance is not as good as the Dimensity 8200, and it is a Samsung 4nm process, and the energy consumption can only be regarded as a qualified level.

The design of the curved screen is also more resistant at this price, after all, users who buy this price may not be able to afford the maintenance cost of the curved screen.
However, it supports IP68 protection against dust and water! There is also wet hand touch, which has great application scenarios and is a practical enough model.
Everything else is not a disadvantage, and I recommend 2099 yuan to get the 12+512GB version.
3. Medium and high-end models (2000 - 4000 yuan)
This price point can generally buy the performance limit of the Android camp, so it is also called the "most volume" range. However, the photography ability is still weak, depending on which one is willing to give the workmanship and texture.
iQOO Neo 8
Reference price: 2499 yuan ( 12 + 512GB )
This machine is a rare 12+512GB version in its competition. Usually the fruit really did not notice this, and found that the 512GB version of the friend was equipped with 16GB memory.
This price is also slightly higher, personally I think that 12GB of memory is enough for ninety percent of users, and it is a little cheaper.
The machine is equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ platform and 1.5K OLED high-brush screen, which supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The battery has 5000mAh+120W fast charge.

Compared with its own Neo 8 Pro, the performance gap is not particularly large, and then there is a 1TB version, and those who pursue larger storage can choose.
Redmi K60 Extreme Edition
Reference price: 2999 yuan ( 16 + 512GB )
The standard machine with 16G memory, compared with the price of 12GB, directly pulled up 500 yuan, the gap is quite large.
In fact, this price point fruit does not recommend Xiaomi's Dimensity model. But it supports IP68 dust and water resistance! I have to say that this is a very competitive upgrade.
The machine is equipped with the Dimensity 9200+ platform, which can be understood as the residual blood version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the power consumption is lower than the latter in daily scenarios, but the performance and power consumption are inferior in high-voltage scenarios.
At the same time, the appearance and photography of this machine have really made a huge upgrade, which is why Guozi did not recommend the K60 series.

The battery is 5000mAh + 120W fast charge, which is already customary at this price point. Overall, a very good machine.
Honor 80 Pro
Reference price: 2999 yuan ( 12 + 512GB )
This is one of the most worthwhile models of Honor at the moment. Featuring photography and selfies, a rare vlog artifact, and the performance of the Snapdragon 8+ is also very capable at this price.
The disadvantage is that there is no optical image stabilization in the rear camera, and it is not particularly convenient to shoot at night. Compared with the Honor 90 series, there is not much improvement, and even the appearance has not changed much. There is no need to add money to buy the latest model.
The machine has an excellent 1.5K OLED screen at the same price, supports 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and is one of the best PWM eye protection technologies in China.

The battery is 4800mAh + 66W fast charging, the glory system energy consumption is still good, daily use can also be compared to the 5000mAh battery of friends, that is, fast charging is really almost meaningful.
OnePlus Ace 2 Pro
Reference price: 3399 yuan ( 12 + 256GB )
This is the last recommended model within 4000 yuan, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 cost-effective model is currently the most recommended purchase of Guozi.
The exquisite workmanship and appearance make it far ahead of friends at the same price. Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform, it is already the ceiling of the current Android mobile phone.
The screen is a 1.5K OLED screen, and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming is already standard at this price. Battery 5000mAh + 150W fast charge, are stacked to the top configuration.

If you still have doubts, Guozi recommends that you take a look at products such as the Redmi K60 Pro and the Real Me GT5, which are two levels of products with the machine.
This machine fruit is recommended to choose the 3999 yuan 24+1TB version, which is definitely one of the most worthwhile products within 4000 yuan.
4. Flagship model (more than 4000 yuan)
Almost all of the domestic flagship models start at nearly 5,000 yuan, and they are all the best of the same generation, so the fruit will mention two here.
Then briefly evaluate the new high-end models of the two systems of Huawei and Apple.
vivo X90s
Reference price: 4489 yuan ( 12 + 512GB )
This is probably the cheapest flagship camera available. Although it is equipped with Dimensity 9200+, it is the only Dimensity series machine that is seriously done in domestic mobile phones.
Rear "True · The "three-camera" module, design and workmanship are also the level that this price should have. The screen uses BOE's latest Q9+ material, which supports 1.5K resolution and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.

This series has been the "handle" in the entry-level flagship machine since the beginning of the X80. Although there is no 2K screen, the price is normal.
Xiaomi Mi 13 Pro
Reference price: 5999 yuan ( 12 + 512GB )
In the past, some friends asked me if the Xiaomi flagship could work, and the fruit would hesitate. But this generation of Xiaomi flagship fruit has always recommended brainless rush.
Equipped with a 1-inch large bottom main camera, the secondary camera is also pulled to the highest specification. With the blessing of Leica technology, the shooting quality is finally worthy of this high-specification hardware.
The screen is a Samsung 2K screen, and unlike before, it supports high-frequency PWM dimming. Resolution and eye protection it is achieved.
However, after Qualcomm released the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in October, there should be a wave of price reduction and clearance.

And the top flagships of friends such as vivo X90 Pro+ and OPPO Find X6 Pro should have different ranges of price reductions, it is recommended that everyone can wait.
Huawei Mate 60 series
Reference price: from 5999 yuan ( 12 + 512GB )
For this machine, Guozi just wants to say: after three years, I can finally recommend Huawei mobile phones again!
This series is equipped with Huawei's newly developed Kirin 9000S 5G platform. It is a purely domestic platform from design to manufacturing! Performance is between the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8+.
Compared with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, there is still a gap. Satellite calls aside, in terms of photography, gaming, background retention and signal experience, this phone definitely exceeds your expectations!

However, the fruit must also admit that we have the ability to support domestic production; If you don't have the ability, you can also choose to quietly and silently bless the domestic production!
iPhone15 Pro
Reference price: 10999 yuan ( 512GB )
I have to say that each new generation of iPhone is quite expensive. But after much thought, the fruit finally chose it.
First of all, it has an epic upgrade of the C port, and it is common to Android.
Secondly, the performance of the A17 Pro chip on it is definitely better than that of the iPhone14 Pro Max, and the narrower and lighter body is also better than the latter.

Although it iOS 17 does not stay in the background; Although it A17 Pro still does not dissipate heat, love high temperature shutdown... But the iPhone 14 Pro Max it has increased in price!
Are those 15, 15plus the level that should be at this price point? For the same price, it is natural to choose the more convenient and powerful iPhone15 Pro.
Combined with various factors, iPhone15 Pro has become the best choice for iOS users. It has to be you, cook!
summary
Phew~~ I haven't written a recommendation for a long time, whether it is domestic or iOS camp, the fruit is also holding back a lot of words, so this time the copy is a little long.
In general, the self-improvement of Huawei stood up and made the fruit very exciting. Other domestic friends have placed a lot of new technologies under the price of 4,000 yuan, such as IP68, high-brightness screens and exquisite workmanship.
And what makes Guozi happy is that after several years, the performance and power consumption of the entry-level model finally surpass the MediaTek G85 and Snapdragon 695 platforms, which is a very meaningful progress!
The above is all the content of the 2023 "Double Festival" mobile phone recommendation, thank you for your patience in reading, and finally wish everyone again: happy family and happy holidays!
