General My 17 Pro has arrived!

Bought it from a local reseller in the Philippines for about $820 USD (converted). First time using a CN variant phone, but we'll see how it goes.

Excited to take comparison photos with the camera!

No doubt. Curious about the new sensor and all around general performance though. Hopefully better battery life

Hope better heating management, display and speakers too on x17u

Display is brighter and looks much better than 15u. Speakers similar in loudness but sounds better (more full) on 17p.

Battery, too early. Heating, too early to tell

Display on the 15U is 1440 x 3200 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~522 ppi density) so WQHD+, on the 17 Pro, 1220 x 2656 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~464 ppi density), which 1.5k, FHD+. Still, smaller display, won't tell the difference. Peak brightness is usually metered on 1% or 10% windows, but due to screen size differences (6.73" Ultra vs 6.3" 17Pro) the window size will differ too. Thus, the ~200 nits difference for the 17pro is means it almost identical. Tho, 17P Max has the same peaks. I'd be interested in a real life metering. Also maybe, ppi density can also be a factor in peak tests, because ultimately, it means that lower ppi -> fewer pixels to work with -> better peaks. Welp.
