The iPhone 17 is a great phone, but there are still issues with the base model of the iPhone 17, which has a 120Hz 120Hz display and a 48MP ultrawide camera upgrade. However, premium Android phones, particularly those from China, have been gaining popularity due to their higher-priced features and larger batteries. The Oppo Find X9 Pro's 200MP periscope telephoto camera puts it in a different league with its ability to zoom in and capture incredible details from distances that are completely different to most phones. The Honor Magic 8 Pro has a large 7,100 mAh battery for its global model and can charge from zero to full in around 40 minutes with its 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. The international version of the phone also offers 16GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. However these phones are not officially sold through US carriers and limited or non-existent walk-in retail support. The price of these phones may be higher, but for the right buyer, the extra effort could be worth it.
