Galaxy S21 vs iPhone 12: display and design

In fact, no matter how antagonistic these models may seem, their displays are very similar. They are based on Samsung OLED panels. Of course, on the iPhone, the calibration is done according to Apple’s specifications – it’s fairly accurate in color, although there is a persistent yellowish tint. Samsung screens allow you to choose from several preset modes. You can choose from super-bright OLED colors or muted and lifelike colors, both great for their respective audiences. The screens are quite comparable in size, although the Galaxy S21 has a slightly larger display. However, the difference is not so great that it becomes a key criterion when choosing a device.

Galaxy S21 screen diagonal – 6.2 inches
IPhone 12 display diagonal – 6.1 inches

What’s really important is the Galaxy S21’s Dynamic AMOLED screen. Thanks to this, the display supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. This makes all animation and device interaction very smooth. The iPhone 12 remains at the standard 60Hz. And while the overall smoothness of iOS alleviates the problem a bit, you can definitely feel the difference.

Apple iPhone 12	619 (excellent)	1.8 (excellent)	6729 (excellent)	2.18	2.16 (well)	6.27 (medium)

In terms of design, the Galaxy S21 is a pleasant surprise – the camera protrusion that fits into the phone’s frame looks like an ingenious solution, and the curved back of the device provides a very comfortable fit in the palm of your hand.

Galaxy S21 design

The square design of the iPhone is already a kind of classic, familiar to many. But such a shape seems to hit you on the hand, and the gloss of the frames gives your fingers discomfort. The new design for the iPhone 12 would be great for the iPhone 12 mini, but it looks worse on the larger models.

But you still need to subtract a few points from the Galaxy S21 for the plastic back. In fact, the problem is small, but it is still unpleasant to buy a phone for 70,000 rubles with the feeling of cheap, albeit soft, matte and tenacious plastic.

The glass on the back on iPhone 12 looks great, and you can’t help but be delighted with the MagSafe accessories that you can magnetically attach to your smartphone.

The Galaxy S21 is offered in four color options: gray, pink, purple and white.

iPhone 12 is available in five colors: black, white, red, blue, and green.

Specifications Galaxy S21 and iPhone 12

In fact, a direct comparison of the characteristics of Android phones and iPhones is always a bit of a dispute over which is better – apples or oranges. This is because Android and iOS work differently with their hardware. Anyway, here are the rough numbers:

	Display	CPU and memory	Battery	Camera	Storage device	Operating system
…
Samsung Galaxy S21	6.2 inches, 2400 × 1080 pixels	Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, 8 GB RAM	4000 mAh	2 × 12 Mp, 1 × 64 Mp, front 10 Mp	128 GB non-expandable	Android 11 Samsung One UI
…
Apple iPhone 12	6.1 inches, 2532 × 1170 dots	Apple A14 Bionic, 4 GB RAM	2815 mAh	2 × 12 Mp, 12 Mp front	64 GB non expandable	iOS 14.x

The Galaxy S21 is powered by the Snapdragon 888 (or Exynos 2100) processor, a 2.84 GHz octa-core chip built on a 5nm process. The smartphone received 8 GB of RAM for the best multitasking experience. What does this mean? The fact that the device will be very, very fast is probably the most powerful Android smartphone available for purchase at the time of this writing.

But the Apple A14 Bionic processor inside the iPhone 12 is in no way inferior in power to the competitor. This is Apple’s own 5nm chip with 6 cores and a maximum frequency of 2.99GHz. The A14 outperformed almost all of its competitors at the time of its late 2020 release, and it’s still slightly ahead of the Snapdragon 888.

The iPhone 12 seems to have only 4GB of RAM, but that’s not a big problem considering how iOS works. This operating system is able to freeze background applications almost instantly and provides the “illusion” of multitasking, forcing you to switch between images of real applications.

Speaking of internal storage, we’re talking about two models that don’t offer any options for expanding storage with a microSD card. So it is important for the buyer to initially choose the volume he needs.

Apple is rightly accused of being stingy, but 64 GB with some limitations will be enough for most users. But if you love taking pictures or playing games, then storage capacity becomes an important parameter. This will become especially evident after a couple of years when you accumulate a lot of files.

The base version of the Galaxy S21 comes with 128GB of storage, giving you a lot more storage space from the start. Plus, for around £ 5,000, you can get the 256GB model, which seems like a very generous offer compared to the iPhone 12.

All in all, both of these phones are very powerful. This is not to say that one of them is clearly superior to the other. You may notice that in some games the graphics on the iPhone are better than on the Galaxy, but this is due to a lot of non-obvious background things: developer tools, APIs, ecosystem, which is not directly related to the speed of the equipment or problems with it.

But the results of some tests, the higher the scores, the better:

Galaxy S21 vs iPhone 12 camera comparison

The Samsung Galaxy S21 proudly boasts three lenses on the back – a 12MP wide-angle camera, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 64MP telephoto lens.

On the other side of the scale is the iPhone 12 with its dual cameras on the back – regular wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle.

How do they photograph in direct comparison?

The main cameras are impressive in terms of dynamics and sharpness. The iPhone does prefer a brighter exposure, even with the risk of some glare burn-in, while the Galaxy S21 struggles to maintain blue skies even if there is a risk of low exposure.

The color calibrations of smartphones are also different. The iPhone sticks to its signature yellow hues, while the Galaxy S21 opts for a bit of purple. But more often than not, it is the photos of the S21 that look closer to what we see in real life at the time of the shot.

Ultra wide-angle lenses are useful for landscape or artistic shots. The S21 and iPhone 12 have ultra-wide-angle cameras that create very soft photos, they have their pros and cons. When comparing specific shots, it seems that the iPhone is a little sharper, but also a little noisier.

Now on to zoom – how well does it work on the Galaxy S21? Technically, the zoom is digital and the results are not particularly impressive. However, this feature on the Korean flagship works better than the iPhone’s 3x digital zoom. It’s worth noting that the iPhone 12 works at a maximum 5x magnification, while the Galaxy S21 can work at a 30x magnification. Yes, the quality drops noticeably, but such scaling is present.

Most importantly, you can take 2x portrait shots on the Galaxy S21 – although the iPhone 12 has portrait mode, it only takes wide-angle (1x zoom) portraits.

In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”

As for selfies, we can again talk about similar opportunities. Both smartphones capture crisp, detailed images with excellent dynamic range. iPhone 12 tries to accurately reproduce skin tones in some challenging sunlight conditions – HDR works wonders at times.

The Galaxy S21 does a great job in these conditions too.

Galaxy S21 and iPhone 12 battery life

Both phones have energy efficient 5nm processors that should last longer than previous generations. However, none of them will give you a significant increase in battery life. Little has changed because the new processors, no matter how energy efficient they are, are also more powerful, which also requires increased power consumption.

In any case, both the Galaxy S21 and iPhone 12 are reliable enough and will serve you in active mode with ease for a whole day, or maybe a day and a half. It’s worth noting that gaming has traditionally been the curse of the iPhone battery for many years.

Which Galaxy S21 and iPhone 12 to Choose?

Both smartphones are leaders in their lines in terms of price / quality criterion. However, over time, the Galaxy S21 will drop in price much faster than the iPhone 12.

Probably, the deciding factor when choosing a smartphone will still be the user’s general preference for the Apple or Samsung ecosystem.

The main camera module in the Galaxy S21 has 3 lenses – main wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, telephoto, and many software functions for shooting with which you can and should experiment. On the other hand, the iPhone 12 on the back has an ultra-wide-angle camera in addition to the main wide-angle camera, but lacks a telephoto lens (optical zoom).

Galaxy S21 received support for “smooth screen” with a frequency of 120 Hz. The base storage size is 128GB versus 64GB for the iPhone 12. Samsung’s flagship design also seems better and more ergonomic. The disadvantages of this smartphone can be considered a plastic back panel and a kind of user interface with so many functions and options that it is easy to get confused in them. But in many respects it is solely a matter of personal preference.

IOS has fewer features, switches and settings, but it’s so reliable and easy to use. The iPhone 12 also benefits from MagSafe magnetic wireless charging support.

And the perception of the angular design of the iPhone is a matter of taste, many like the ergonomics of the Galaxy S21 more.

The performance of the Galaxy S21 and iPhone 12 is roughly on par.

Samsung S21 Ultra vs iPhone 12 Pro Max: Which to Choose?

25/01/2021 by ALOK DAS

There are two models that stand out on the market for premium phones with a maximum screen today: the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Manufacturers do not hide that these smartphones are created for lovers of uncompromising solutions, whose cost fades into the background. But when choosing a new flagship, the question invariably arises: which of these two options to choose? It is worth evaluating the advantages of one model over another.

Display in Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max

It is not for nothing that both flagship smartphones have the words Max and Ultra in their names – the screen sizes are really maximum. On paper, the Samsung S21 Ultra is slightly larger. But a tenth of an inch difference is hardly noticeable to the eye. And both models are clearly pushing the boundaries of what is possible for smartphone screens.

	Galaxy S21 Ultra	iPhone 12 Pro Max

Display size	6.8 inches curved	6.7 inches flat

Technology	OLED	OLED

Resolution, density	1440 x 3200 pixels, 516 ppi	1284 × 2778 pixels, 458 ppi

Frequency	Dynamic, 10-120 Hz	60 Hz

Brightness	1500 nits	1200 nits

Additionally	HDR support	HDR support

An iPhone-specific visual element is the cutout that houses the Face ID biometric sensor and the True Depth camera system.

The Galaxy S21 has a much less visible front camera in the form of a small hole in the screen that doesn’t take up much space. The iPhone notch can quickly get used to in everyday use, but this element can be very noticeable when watching videos and especially when playing games. On the other hand, the Galaxy S21 has a slightly tapering screen to make swiping easier, but also has the advantage of thin bezels. All this gives the appearance of the Korean flagship a truly futuristic look.

Samsung also has a couple of other advantages: its screen has a higher resolution and is generally sharper. The difference may be noticeable when reading the text. Most importantly, the screen can run at 120Hz refresh rates, which is twice as fast as 60Hz on an iPhone.

This feature makes scrolling faster and smoother than on the iPhone. What’s new with the Galaxy S21 Ultra is that this high refresh rate can be used at the maximum supported QHD resolution and the screen will automatically adjust the refresh rate. The maximum 120Hz possible will only be used when needed, while the rest of the time the screen can intelligently switch to a lower and more energy efficient refresh rate, down to 10Hz.

In addition, it should be noted that the Galaxy S21 Ultra has a fingerprint sensor built into the display, as well as support for the S Pen stylus (sold separately).

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max performance

The Galaxy S21 Ultra in the United States will receive the latest and most advanced Qualcomm chip with the Snapdragon 888 index, while the international models will receive Samsung’s Exynos 2100 processor. The Korean manufacturer promises that this year its proprietary solution will finally match Snapdragon in both performance and energy efficiency. The opponent, in the face of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, uses the Apple A14 Bionic chip. Both manufacturers use the most advanced 5nm processor technology available. And these processors simply blew up the tests!

	Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra	Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max

Geekbench 5, single core	1081	1601

Geekbench 5, multi-core	3463	4349

GFXBench Car Chase on-screen	52	54

Despite the numbers unattainable for most smartphone models, the Apple A14 has a performance advantage over the Galaxy S21. The gap is especially wide in performance per core, where the iPhone looks like a real “monster”. But, interestingly, the graphics performance of both chips is practically similar, as shown by the GFXBench Car Chase benchmark, performed at 1080p on the Galaxy S21.

Samsung also has an advantage in the form of a more closely integrated 5G modem, the effectiveness of this solution will be revealed when working on 5G networks.

In terms of storage, the base model Galaxy S21 Ultra has 128GB of internal storage, which is exactly the same amount of storage offered in the base iPhone 12 Pro Max. The Galaxy S21 lacks a microSD card slot just like the iPhone, so there’s no quick and easy way to expand storage on either of the two phones.

Cameras for Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max

The Galaxy S21 Ultra brings new style to the camera body. Now this overlapping plate goes into the side edge of the phone.

But the iPhone has a recognizable separate area under the cameras, as is implemented in most modern smartphones.

Both phones are very distinguishable and easily recognizable, but both have a bulging camera module.

But besides the obvious differences in style, there is a difference in the number of cameras and their characteristics. The Galaxy S21 has two telephoto lenses, while the iPhone has only one. The Korean flagship is equipped with a telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom capability, surpassing even the Note 20 Ultra’s 5x zoom sibling. There is another telephoto lens, this time with a 3x optical zoom for close-up shots. Combined, these two cameras make the Galaxy the best phone for getting the sharpest image of objects at a distance.

	Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra	Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max

Main camera	108 MP, 24mm, f / 1.8 with OIS, wide angle	12 MP, 26 mm, f / 1.7 with OIS, wide-angle

Fourth chamber	10 MP, 3x optical zoom (240 mm f / 4.9), OIS, telephoto	–

Additional sensor	Laser autofocus	LiDAR sensor

The most impressive feature of the Galaxy is its 100x Super Resolution Zoom capability.

Interestingly, the Galaxy S21 has a wide-angle main camera with a 24mm lens, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a 26mm lens, like most other phones in its class. This may seem like a slight difference, but it gives a wider perspective of the main camera.

Both smartphones have support for low light photography.

When it comes to video recording, the S21 Ultra can handle 8K resolution at 24 frames per second, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max can only shoot in 4K, but it supports Dolby HDR for richer colors. With 8K, you get much clearer detail, while the HDR option on the iPhone gives you a higher dynamic range. So both smartphones have their own unique advantages. This is if we talk about purely technical differences. In real life, when recording in 4K, it is noticeable that the iPhone still has a higher dynamic range, especially in difficult situations. And in extremely low light, the Galaxy can’t find enough light, and videos on this smartphone look too dark.

However, it would be unfair to just give the victory to the iPhone because it is inferior to the Galaxy in terms of zoom! iPhone can only zoom video up to 12X, while Galaxy can only zoom up to 20X. And in this case, this opportunity should not be ignored.

Battery in Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max

5000 mAh (Galaxy S21 Ultra) vs 3687 mAh (iPhone 12 Pro Max)
Faster charging on the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Both models have clear differences in battery capacity. But Android smartphones, which include the Galaxy S21 Ultra, have always had a larger battery than the iPhone. But Apple products turned out to be more economical. So the situation is not new.

The battery capacity of the S21 Ultra is almost one and a half times that of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Of course, it is not dry numbers that are much more important, but real results.

In real world conditions, the S21 Ultra managed to achieve more than 7 hours of screen time, which is slightly more than the iPhone. And to confirm this result, let’s turn to laboratory tests of batteries (see below)!

Working with the browser (clock)	16 hours 7 minutes	14 hours 6 minutes

Working with a browser with a screen frequency of 120 Hz (hours)	14 hours 43 minutes

In this simplest test of web browsing, the S21 Ultra outperformed the iPhone even when running at 120Hz adaptive frequency. This result is impressive! And the smoother and more enjoyable 120Hz mode is definitely worth recommending, especially with such a long battery life. If you switch to 60Hz, you get a little more runtime. At 60 Hz, the S21 Ultra works for over 16 hours, which is a record for a flagship!

The second test was watching streaming videos on YouTube, using the same playlist at 1080p video quality. And the S21 Ultra is ahead of the iPhone, albeit this time the gap is not so big. Excellent result for Samsung and its battery.

3D games at 120Hz screen frequency (hours)	5 hours 3 minutes

The last test is no less important. The game test is interesting for those who love Call of Duty or Minecraft. In fact, for such users, information about the battery life in such a mode is almost the most necessary. And if the previous two tests load mainly the CPU, then this one loads the GPU. You can evaluate the energy efficiency of the GPU.

Again, the Galaxy S21 at 60Hz will provide a slight extra battery life over the iPhone 12 Pro Max. It’s worth keeping in mind that using 120Hz for gaming drains the battery pretty quickly. It will last almost half as long in this mode. If you want a balance between performance and battery life, then it makes sense to play at 60Hz.

Charge your Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max

With the growth of smartphone battery capacity, the issue of battery charging speed becomes relevant.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max requires a 20W adapter to quickly recharge its battery, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra requires a 25W charge. It should be noted that charging adapters are no longer included in both the iPhone and Galaxy.

The iPhone 12 is also the first mainstream phone on the market to ship without a charger, and the S21 Ultra is the first serious Android phone to follow this not-so-pleasant move.

Both premium flagships do not break out of the lead in charging speeds. It takes about an hour and a half to fully charge the S21 Ultra with a 25W power supply, while with an 18/20W power supply, an iPhone will charge in 1 hour and 45 minutes. At a time when some phones charge in less than an hour, and some of them even take half an hour, the speeds shown are too slow.

However, both phones also support wireless charging at up to 15W with a compatible charger (sold separately). The iPhone stands out here with its new MagSafe technology, so the phone can magnetically attach securely to chargers and accessories. It’s a great and handy addition that Galaxy doesn’t have.

What the iPhone lacks is reversible wireless charging. Samsung’s flagship has this option. So you can, for example, place the Galaxy Buds Pro on it and quickly recharge the headset battery, using your Galaxy phone as a kind of wireless power source.

What’s the difference between the Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra?

20/01/2021 by ALOK DAS

In 2021, Samsung introduced its flagships a month earlier than in 2020. And if traditionally the South Korean manufacturer presented new models at the MWC, now he chooses the date himself, without sharing attention with anyone. And the late release of the iPhone 12 line played a role – Samsung decided to hold its Unpacked presentation as close as possible to Apple in the fight for the top market segment.

♥ BY TOPIC: Tanks, helicopters, ships, and other Samsung products you might not know about.

Traditionally, the Galaxy S series received a set of three models – the compact version represents the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S21 + demonstrates good autonomy, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra looks the most uncompromising. The line turned out to be bright and interesting.

♥ BY TOPIC: The iPhone 12 Pro Max display can accommodate 884 Nokia 5110 screens.

Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra design

The new line clearly attracts attention and is clearly different from its predecessor. All three models are made in the same style, but the camera block is no longer a separate element on the rear panel, but flows into the side frame. The solution is original, but understandable – the protruding rectangle will now cling less to the fabric of the pocket, and the frame will become even more stable.

At the same time, in the two junior models, the flash is located separately from the corner, in the body. On the other hand, the S21 Ultra has a rather large panel with cameras, and there was a place for a flash.

The back panel of the S21 + and S21 Ultra is made of matte glass with Gorilla Glass 7 protection, but the younger model received a plastic case, albeit a new generation. Of course, the manufacturer assures of its special strength and even awarded the name Glastic (from glass + plastic). The company already has experience in releasing flagships with a plastic cover – the recent Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy 20 FE are clear confirmation of this.

The entire front panel is given to the screen, the round cutout for the camera remains in the middle. It is worth noting the rejection of the curved screen, the effective solution complicates the design and repair too much. But the scope turned out to be as narrow as possible.

Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 + design

The arrangement of the buttons has not changed: on the right edge, which is closest to the cameras, there is a volume rocker and a power supply. There is no 3.5 mm audio jack, but this is no longer surprising. And the slot for two nanoSIM cards is now located at the bottom, to the left of the traditional place for the USB Type C port. To the right of it is the speaker, which has also moved from its previous place. There is a pair of microphones on the top panel, while the third is on the bottom.

The water protection class remains the same – IP68. This is enough for everyday use.

But it’s better not to experiment, especially in sea water or in a pool.

Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra display

The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. The younger model (S21) received a screen diagonal in 6.2 inch, medium (S21 +) – 6.7 inch, and the S21 Ultra screen has become slightly smaller than that of the previous “Ultra” – 6.8 inch… Large size is good, but ergonomics are also important. The first two models received a resolution of 2400 × 1080 pixels (Flat FHD +), which is less than the previous generation. But Samsung reasonably decided not to pursue beautiful numbers and focus on quality. But Galaxy S21 Ultra received the ultimate resolution of 3200 × 1440 pixels with a density of 511 ppi. This is due to the larger diagonal of the device and its positioning. Of course, the quality of the screens has improved over the previous generation. Although just a year ago it seemed impossible.

The displays of the new series differ from their predecessors, striking in brightness and viewing angles. For users looking for the best display available on the market, the S21 Ultra is worth recommending. It is she who will become a benchmark for competitors in the coming year.

The displays of the new flagships are called Dynamic AMOLED 2X. The screen brightness of the two younger models is 1200 nits, while in the S21 Ultra it reaches 1500 nits! Realized 100% color volume, which makes the color reproduction realistic even in bright daytime. Colors remain vibrant and saturated, and contrast ratios up to 3,000,000: 1. This allows you to work out the details even in the darkest and lightest areas of the frame and immerse yourself as much as possible in the displayed picture.

The refresh rate of the screen reaches 120 Hz, and in the younger models it can change in the range from 48 to 120 Hz, and in the S21 Ultra – from 10 to 120 Hz. This allows you to make scrolling as smooth as possible. And the choice of refresh rate is carried out based on the consumed content, which saves battery power.

An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is built into the screen, which has become even faster.

The screen has received a new system of protection against blue radiation. A special technology reduces its intensity, protecting the eyes from strain and fatigue. This will allow you to work with the phone as comfortably as possible for a long time, including watching movies. It’s important to note that this is the first time a Galaxy S has support for the S Pen. But only the S21 Ultra received it, the display of which has a built-in Wacom panel that recognizes stylus presses.

Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra manufacturer and memory

In the race for 5nm technology, Samsung simply couldn’t stand aside. The flagships received the Exynos 2100 processor, and the Snapdragon 888 will be used for the US market. Once again, Samsung has challenged Qualcomm, trying to surpass the market leader with its solution. The new processor has a powerful X1 core at 2.9 GHz, three powerful Cortex-A78 cores at 2.8 GHz and four regular cores at 2.2 GHz. The Mali-G78 MP14 video accelerator received 14 cores. A special three-core neural processor with a performance of up to 26 TOPS is responsible for the work of artificial intelligence. The ISP in charge of image processing is capable of capturing data from cameras up to 200MP, recording 4K video at 120fps, and playing back 8K video at 60fps. It was this chipset that first received support for the AV1 decoder for 8K resolution. It is difficult to talk about the advantage or lag behind the Snapdragon 888 – the power reserve is so large that it will be difficult to find scenarios that clearly highlight the superiority of one solution over another.

Both junior models received 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, while the S21 Ultra has 12 or 16 GB of the same type of RAM. The built-in storage of 128 and 256 GB of UFS 3.x standard is offered. But the S21 Ultra will also get a 512GB variant. But these smartphones do not have support for memory cards.

Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra battery

Manufacturers have long come to the conclusion that there is no point in increasing the battery capacity – today the power consumption scenarios of the device are much more important. The Galaxy S21 has a pretty impressive 4000mAh Li-Ion battery, while the S21 + has a 4800mAh battery. The oldest and largest model has a 5000 mAh battery. All devices support fast wireless charging up to 15W and are capable of charging wireless devices themselves, reversibly giving up to 9W. Supports PD 3.0 fast wired charging standard, which allows you to get power up to 25W.

Thanks to the transition to a 5-nanometer process technology, a noticeable improvement in the autonomy of the device is expected. The S21 models will most likely last 15-20% longer than the S20 models. At the same time, the Exynos 2100 in this regard also slightly outperforms the Snapdragon 888. 2-3 days of work with an average load is the minimum that can be expected from the models of the Galaxy S21 line.

Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra cameras

In modern smartphones, cameras are almost a key element. The flagship simply cannot afford to shoot badly or worse than the competition. Samsung is quite loud in declaring that the cameras of the new flagships are made for a real revolution in the world of photography and video. However, it sounds as pathetic as it is not new. And if in the last generation the “hardware” of cameras was updated, then this year Samsung put special emphasis on software algorithms.

Galaxy S21 and S21 + models received a main camera with three modules:

The main one, a resolution of 12 megapixels, f / 1.8, pixels of 1.8 microns and with optical stabilization
Ultra wide-angle, 12 MP, f / 2.2, 1.4 μm pixels.
Telephoto, 64 MP, f / 2.0, 0.8 μm pixels, with optical stabilization, 1 / 1.72 inch matrix and x3 optical and x10 hybrid zoom.

Space Zoom allows you to use 3x Hybrid Optical Zoom and 30x Super Resolution Zoom.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra has four main camera modules:

Main, a resolution of 108 MP, f / 1.8, pixels of 0.8 microns and optical stabilization
Ultra wide-angle, 12 MP, f / 2.2, 1.4 μm pixels.
Telephoto, 10 MP, f / 2.4, 1.22 micron pixels, with optical stabilization, optical zoom 3x.
Telephoto, 10 MP, f / 4.9, 1.22 micron pixels, with optical stabilization, optical zoom 10x.

In this model, the Space Zoom allows you to take advantage of the 5x hybrid optical zoom and 100x Super Resolution Zoom. There is a ToF sensor. The emerging laser autofocus has significantly accelerated the camera’s work in the dark, and the new Bright Night technology promises to bring the quality of night shooting to a new level.

The flagship smartphone has the ability to shoot in HDR 12-bit, which makes it possible to use colors 64 times more than usual and three times expands the dynamic range.

The ultra wide-angle camera has received autofocus and can now be used for macro photography. Pro mode can shoot in RAW format.

All models can shoot 8K video at 24 frames / s. But the demand for this “feature” is a matter of the future, and obviously not for the next year or two. And the Galaxy S21 Ultra can shoot 4K video at 60 fps for all modules.

Among the new features, we note the Cinema mode, which allows you to display an image from all cameras at once, including the front one. The Night mode has been improved, and artificial intelligence is actively involved in Portrait mode. The Galaxy S21 line includes the ability to record from a variety of microphones, including a connected headset. You can even write from two microphones at the same time. Photo processing in Multi-shot mode is noticeably accelerated. When shooting at a zoom, shaking was reduced, which is helped by artificial intelligence – at a large zoom, you can activate Zoom Lock and stabilize the picture for two seconds. This will be especially relevant on the S21 Ultra with its 100x zoom.

In Super Steady stabilization mode, artificial intelligence helps when shooting video, turning your smartphone into a real action camera.

The front camera of the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 + received a resolution of 10 megapixels with f / 2.2 and a 1 / 3.4-inch matrix with a pixel size of 1.22 microns.

The top model Galaxy S21 Ultra has a front camera resolution increased to 40 megapixels. Artificial intelligence also helps to create high-quality selfies. The front camera has autofocus and allows you to create various interesting effects.

The modem of smartphones of the Samsung Galaxy S21 series can work with 5G networks, but in Russia this is not relevant yet due to the lack of infrastructure. And the S21 Ultra supports Wi-Fi 6E, but we won’t be able to work with this technology either – the 6 GHz frequency is occupied by the state. But in other countries, these modules can work at full speed.

The Galaxy S21 + and S21 Ultra have Ultra Wide Band (UWB) support for fast, close-range data transfers similar to NFC. Thus, smartphones become part of the SmartThings system, which allows you to track branded gadgets even offline. The technology is being developed in collaboration between Apple and Samsung, and SmartTags will be on sale in the near future.

No matter how the Koreans criticized Apple, accusing it of greed, they themselves decided to follow the same path. Now bundled with flagship smartphone there will be no charging adapter or headphones… Samsung attributes this to support for recycling technologies and the refusal to release an additional unnecessary accessory. But behind the big words about the protection of nature, there is a banal desire to save money. The smartphone comes with only a charging / data cable, a clip for the SIM tray and documentation. The S Pen is also missing, although it is supported by the S21 Ultra.

Samsung SPH-WP10 – the first watch phone, announced back in 1999

27/05/2020 by ALOK DAS

Currently, “smart” gadgets that can be worn on the body are at the peak of popularity, but few people know that engineers began work on expanding the capabilities of watches in the last century.

♥ BY TOPIC: Tanks, helicopters, ships and other Samsung products that you might not be aware of.

It was their ideas that paved the way for such modern devices as Moto 360, LG Watch Urbane and, of course, Apple Watch. Be that as it may, but over more than a ten-year development period, a number of attempts to release smart watches have not been crowned with success.

One such attempt was a device Samsung SPH-WP10 – The first, and still one of the few, watch-phone. The device, the creation of which engineers were inspired by science fiction films, was announced in 1999. Of course, by modern standards, this gadget is very bulky (its thickness was 2 cm + an antenna sticking out at the side, and weight – 50 g), but at that time it was the smallest and lightest “wireless terminal” with a la Star Trek design .

What functionality did they have? Samsung SPH-WP10? The watch combined the capabilities of an electronic clock and a cellular telephone handset. In fact, it was a cell phone that could be worn on the wrist, providing up to 90 minutes of calls. The device was equipped with a monochrome LCD-display with backlight and physical buttons to control the menu. In addition, you could dial a phone number by saying aloud the name of the corresponding subscriber. Voice commands greatly simplified the process, since typing a number or text without an appropriate keyboard is not an easy task.

Manufacturers hoped that Samsung SPH-WP10 will impress the younger generation, however, the watch phone has not gained popularity. Most likely, this can be explained by their very peculiar appearance, confusing management or the fact that the concept of watch phones was already outdated. Luckily for Samsung, its current wearable gadgets are selling very well.

Why a touchpad keyboard turns the Apple iPod Pro into a millennial generation tool

18/03/2020 by ALOK DAS

Against the backdrop of the global history of coronavirus, which has swept the entire global information space from Wuhan to Cupertino, the spring announcement of Apple with the presentation of the new iPad Pro and MacBook Air may not seem like such a significant event as in the past. Apple had to not only cancel the ceremony (otherwise it is difficult to call these iconic events) of the presentation, but also transfer the annual conference for WWDC developers to the virtual space. And also close their fashionable stores around the world, except for China. Which, by the way, can become one of the main beneficiaries after the pandemic of the virus, because its economy has already quarantined while the rest of the world is plunging into the abyss of a protracted recession (oil is getting cheaper, stocks are falling, venture investors are sending out letters of emergence “Black swan”, sung by Nassim Taleb). As a result, China has absolutely unlikely chances to become the largest economy in the world.

But now it’s not about him, but that the announcement of a new tablet (along with an updated external keyboard that received a touchpad) made me think that this device perfectly demonstrates the protracted confrontation between the two approaches to the architecture of the future computer, which began in 2010 after the announcement of the very first iPad. This story is worthy of a separate book (although at the present time it is faster and more reliable to make a television series) if only because its main defendants are … drum roll … Apple and Microsoft! And no, this is not about holivar between users of reliable and familiar Windows and fans of any other system. This is about fundamental differences that seem insignificant to any person, but in fact determine the difference between success and its absence.

I’ll start from afar – it was not Apple, but Microsoft who invented the tablet computer (no, well, maybe someone else came up with such ideas – you won’t remember everyone, especially since there’s no sign of the presence of the devices of those years on the Internet you’ll find it), but the ideology of tablet computers was laid down by Microsoft since the time of Windows XP, which was famous in every sense, which had a special Tablet PC Edition. I was happy unhappy user of one of the first tablet computers of those years. Compaq released it just before its takeover of HP. The model was called Compaq TC100 and was a 10.4-inch tablet with a resolution of 1024×768 (now with any cheap smartphone above) and a stylus. The stylus was pretty interesting on its own. Firstly, it could work non-contact due to induction (hi Samsung, your S-Pen was not the first, although it’s hundreds, if not thousands of times more popular). Secondly, it was the only case in my memory when I came across an AAAA format battery. And I was constantly tormented by the thought of where to get the infection when it sits down – in 2004 Aliexpress was not there (although Alibaba already, of course, was). Fortunately, I got rid of this miracle of technology long before it sat down. By the way, I was not the first buyer of this tablet, and after me it was resold at least a couple more times. The heart and the curse of this device was a completely enchanting processor, God forgive me, Transmeta Crusoe TM5800. Everything worked so damn slowly that when I changed this miracle to another (not a new one, by the way, only the next one became my first new laptop), my productivity in one fell swoop increased by 20 percent, because I did not spend time in painful expectations when Windows Explorer will allow you to switch from displaying one folder to another.

After Apple released its first tablet on a mobile operating system, and it suddenly became very popular, first creating a new category of devices, and then burying (as Jobs predicted during the presentation of the iPad) netbooks, in the bright future of which nobody doubted that time, including your humble servant. Apple understood one simple thing, which determined the course of history and the whole future confrontation: in terms of architecture, the tablet is closer to a smartphone than to a computer. This simple axiom allows it to maintain the correct focus for a long time, while Microsoft still does not know how to make it so that its touch-screen devices become massive and popular. Because Microsoft, with tenacity worthy of a better application, is aggressively trying to turn a computer into a tablet. It came to the point that Windows 8 became a completely schizophrenic system, and it wasn’t decided yet. It works with a computer or tablet. He has a touch screen or not. She needs a normal interface, for a mouse, or she needs a control adapted for tapping the screen with her fingers, which obviously requires fundamentally different interface solutions. (Experts usually appear in this place telling me that I don’t understand anything, that everything has been wrong for a long time, and that the new Windows 10 has already defeated all these children’s problems. But no, it did not, because its ideology of use was initially flawed. And has always been flawed since Windows 8).

What we are seeing today: it’s clear that the future is with touch interfaces. For example, you will not connect a mouse or touchpad to the screen of the refrigerator. No need to revise Corning’s visionary videos to see what the screens for the future will look like. Microsoft has known this for a long time and with all its might tried to gain a foothold in this market. But after lengthy battles on all fronts, she lost all her positions in the smartphone operating system market a few years ago. Just gave this market to Apple and Google, which have become trendsetters in the industry and now control 80% of Internet traffic. Gathering insanely large archives of data about their users. There were several attempts with the tablets, the funniest, of course, is associated with the Surface. When Microsoft is so tired of “stupid” vendors who have repeatedly refused to release tablets according to its patterns and contrived usage scenarios (there is a substitution of cause and effect – in fact, vendors do not care what to release, but if His Majesty the buyer does not want to buy these devices , why the hell did they let them out, burying their money?) that she decided to show “as needed” and release her tablet. The tablet came out loud and collapsed like a closet in its first incarnation, Surface RT. After several years of “pounding this rock,” Microsoft burned a ton of money and even reached some results. They may even object to me, they say, the new Microsoft Surface are the best portable computers on Windows, and I may even agree. But rather, I advise you to buy a good Asus ultrabook – at least it will cost less. Another remark: once in my life I saw a man with Microsoft Surface and it was in New York at the hotel where we lived during the annual presentation of Acer. But I see people with an iPad or MacBook everywhere and constantly. For example, I’ve never been able to make a flight without at least one passenger with an iPad in the cabin for dozens of flights on planes.

Now back to the presentation of the iPad Pro. If we discard all these Petrosyan’s jokes about Apple’s “nobody needs” devices and the ugly saying “you need only real ™ Windows” to work, then Apple (unlike Microsoft constantly tending to find solutions to the problem) clearly follows its plan and the chosen path. It consists, as I said, in a simple truth: a laptop is one device, a tablet is another. The tablet is architecturally closer to the smartphone, so it needs a mobile operating system. This provides her with all the advantages: a long battery life (thanks to ARM processors), user-friendly controls and convenient sizes. By the way, I was always interested: what if Microsoft understood what was the point and released a tablet on the Windows Phone operating system? It even sounds weird, right? That is, Microsoft even called the operating system so that it eliminates such a train of thought. If I live up to artificial intelligence prediction systems of such complex scenarios, I will certainly ask this question, maybe then I will find out a variant of such a development of events.

As a result, Apple is not going to make laptops with touch screens (if only because their users are jarred when someone pokes their fingers on the screen of their macbook, leaving greasy marks on it). But I’m ready to turn my tablets into laptops. But only for those who are interested and suitable. Who are the iPad Pro users? Designers, bloggers, and video bloggers are people who embody the creative economy. They can work as independent units, if necessary, unite in teams for the duration of work on projects. They are flexible and do not want to associate themselves with work in an office chair on an ongoing basis. Doesn’t it remind anyone? Isn’t that all – the characteristics of a new generation called millenials? This is a new generation of consumers who have already passed into adulthood and earn money on their own (those born in 2000 were already 19 years old). They are very flexible, easily change habits and their environment, create new ones. They are easy to meet, spend a significant part of their time on the Internet. The Internet for them is their home, it has always been for them. Like mobile communications, for example. They can even work on the Internet (as I, for example, although I, to put it mildly, do not belong to millennials). Touch screens are understandable and convenient for them, and if you need to type a lot of text, build a presentation or work with a complex spreadsheet, then an external keyboard with a touchpad will help. Which can be taken out of the bag and put next to you on the cafe table.

The same flexibility allows the new generation to easily adapt to a situation even as complex as the current one, with quarantine. You can’t go to the office? Yes, they never went. Can’t date other people? Yes, for God’s sake – video calling was invented just for this. Need tools to work? Yes, most of them are available directly from the browser. I don’t know if you are aware of this, but, for example, 80% of my current work is in the browser. Even this text I write in the CMS-system of our site in the browser. And I always do it because it’s convenient. And some of the other tools I need to work are also accessible through a browser – Slack, Trello, Evernote, cloud office (Google, of course – why do I need Microsoft if the Google ecosystem is native to my smartphone?)

The new iPad Pro costs more than $ 1,000, you say, what millennials? And you will be right. But Apple does not have a goal to capture the whole world, it is only interested in the audience of the most active, motivated, who will succeed in a few years. And who will become users of the Apple ecosystem in the near future, starting today, for example, with the purchase of a used iPhone 7 for a couple of hundred dollars. And the advanced devices themselves are becoming more affordable over the years. Today, any smartphone for $ 100 can do much more than the flagship model for $ 800 did 10 years ago. What about performance, what about its camera. Of course, you can also add about LIDAR and future opportunities for augmented reality in this tablet (which we wait from year to year, but they still do not find widespread use). About the dual camera (a new trend in tablets that need new measurable characteristics for future sales, and two cameras are more than one). About 5 microphones for recording sound (they promise a direct studio recording, which I can hardly believe in) and 4 speakers for playing it. But about it all, either you already knew it, or so they will write and tell you everything. In my opinion, the key to understanding where Apple is heading in its tablet development is precisely the appearance of this keyboard with a touchpad for the tablet. Turning it (for a while, because it is constantly on the tablet and is not needed) into a laptop. A laptop working (this is an important difference, I focus on it again) on the operating system for mobile devices. And if for some reason after 10-5 years laptops completely sink into oblivion with their operating systems, and we begin to use such mobile devices every day, Apple will be ready for such a future.

For those who want to know more

I have an iPhone 11 Pro. Why do I miss Samsung?

28/02/2020 by ALOK DAS

It so happened that at some point I voluntarily abandoned the iPhone. Absolutely. I went over to the enemy camp of green robot lovers to thoroughly study what was going on there.

The last Android smartphone I had was the Samsung Galaxy S10 +. He put on a comfortable leather case and used it as the main and only smartphone for about six months.

I honestly tried to love Android, and I almost succeeded. Because now I enjoy using the iPhone 11 Pro, but occasionally miss some of the Samsung features that are missing from the Apple smartphone.

There will be no technical specifications, only a personal user experience.

Yes, than Samsung can be better than an iPhone?

I admit right away: all the time using Samsung, I felt uncomfortable. Most of all, I lacked Facetime for video calls and the convenient AirDrop for transferring files to a MacBook.

I even managed to synchronize the photo using Google Photos and scoring for possible leaks and privacy violations.

However, returning to the iPhone, I find myself thinking that at some points it would be nice to use Samsung chips. This applies more to software components, but there is one obvious physical difference between these smartphones, except for size. I’ll start with him.

The iPhone 11 Pro is smaller than the Galaxy S10 +. But it weighs much more

This is the biggest disappointment and sadness: compared to the iPhone 11 Pro, the largest smartphone in the Galaxy S10 line weighs almost nothing. Even in a leather case.

The weight of the iPhone Pro is 188 grams, and the weight of the Galaxy S10 + is only 157 grams.

And if you stick glass on an iPhone and put on a branded leather case on it, then in your pocket you will feel a weighty brick. And this is considering the fact that the Galaxy S10 + is larger in general and on the screen in particular.

This weight difference is one of the strongest impressions after the change of smartphones.

Samsung has Always-on-Display

How many times followers of Android smartphones have used this fact as an argument, proving the superiority of their smartphone over the iPhone. And with all my love for Apple, I really miss for this convenient feature.

Well, the truth is: you get used to it instantly on the screen that constantly displays time and other notifications. And periodically you look at the iPhone screen, out of habit after the Galaxy S10 +.

I sincerely believe that the Always-on-Display analogue should appear in future versions of iOS, and really look forward to it.

Samsung Galaxy S10 + can charge other gadgets wirelessly

This underestimated chip can help out a lot away from the outlet. Moreover, it is not you who can help out, but your friends, the haters of android smartphones, the proud owners of the latest generations of iPhones in their hands.

Personally, I had this case: we went with friends to the shopping center while we wandered there – iPhone XS sat right in front of one of the people in front of some important call. Having completely enjoyed humiliating requests to share a cable or an external battery, I just took out his Galaxy S10 + and attached it to the iPhone.

Since then, that person has never taunted my smartphone. It’s a pity that nothing can be charged from the iPhone 11 Pro. There is no such function.

On the Galaxy S10 +, you can password-protect any application. Yes, and the photo too

If I have almost no trust in Google Photos in terms of privacy, then I am completely calm for saving photos on the smartphone itself.

Samsung has a special protected folder, a kind of separate container for all kinds of files – from documents to photos and videos. It is password protected by all available methods, uses 128-bit encryption and is practically unbreakable.

Unlike iOS, in which the maximum that is possible is to transfer photos to the “hidden” category.

Parallax Wallpaper. Well fire

Everything is simple here. EXPECTATION:

REALITY:

Google Play has a ton of cool wallpapers with the effect of a three-dimensional image, you want paid (better), you want free (with ads).

I installed myself the first one that comes across, and still looks cool:

In general, I am completely satisfied with the iPhone 11 Pro, but maybe the only thing is that most of my friends and relatives have iPhones, and are we just used to talking in iMessage and FaceTime?

In any case, now I have my own list of Wishlist, which I will be glad to see in the same iOS 14.

Currently, there are many large-screen smartphones on the market. These are far from always flagship decisions. So the Galaxy S20 Ultra output became an opportunity to get not only the largest smartphone released by the South Korean manufacturer, but also the most powerful. Apple has its own answer to a similar trend. iPhone 11 Pro Max is also ready to meet the requirements of users who like “shovels”. The confrontation between the two flagships can really be considered heavy – both have their own advantages and are ready to present their “muscles”.

Which is better: iPhone 11 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra?

It was difficult for competitors to resist the huge iPhone 11 Pro Max. Samsung took its step by introducing the new Galaxy S20 series. It highlights the 6.9-inch giant S20 Ultra, which received a high-capacity battery, 100x digital zoom and even support for 5G networks.

Galaxy S20 Ultra vs iPhone 11 Pro. Price

When comparing the prices of the two flagships, there is no difference between them. The minimum price on the Galaxy S20 Ultra 128 GB is 99,990 rubles, which corresponds to the cost of the iPhone 11 Pro Max 64 GB. Note that the minimum configuration of the flagship Samsung provides 128 GB of internal memory (+ the ability to increase due to the use of a memory card up to 1 TB), which is twice as much as the base characteristic of 64 GB from Apple.

The high cost of the Galaxy S20 Ultra is explained by the presence of an additional camera, a high-capacity battery and support for 5G networks. At the same cost for the two devices being compared, Samsung’s smartphone looks preferable to the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

When it comes to cellular data rates, the S20 Ultra is heading for the future, leaving the iPhone 11 Pro Max in the past. Yes, Samsung has equipped the S20 Ultra with two 5G connectivity options: mmWave and sub-6GHz.

For comparison, the iPhone 11 Pro Max reaches its maximum speed with 4G (LTE). Work on 5G networks on the iPhone will be possible with the release of the new flagship, but this will not happen until September 2020.

Galaxy S20 Ultra and iPhone 11 Pro Max, design, colors, ports

It is difficult to talk about design features if a phone of such a large size will be difficult to hold in any case. But for now, it can be noted that the Galaxy S20 Ultra is slightly narrower than its competitor, albeit longer. Holding Samsung’s flagship will be a little more convenient.

On the other hand, it seems that using the S20 Ultra is clearly more difficult – since the fingers will have to work with a larger area. Fortunately, specifically for this situation, the Samsung One UI 2 interface focuses the main interactive elements at the bottom of the screen, where they are within the reach of the fingers of even a small palm. On the iPhone, the “Easy Access” function is responsible for this, allowing you to lower the iOS interface down half the screen.

If you are not going to use a case, then note that the Galaxy S20 Ultra is offered in only two colors: black and gray:

In turn, the iPhone 11 Pro Max comes in four colors: space gray, silver, gold and dark green:

Both smartphones received massive modules of the main cameras. The group of four cameras in the Galaxy S20 Ultra is pronounced, while the block of three cameras of the iPhone 11 Pro Max against this background seems more restrained.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra uses the very popular USB-C connector to charge, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max still works with the Apple Lightning port, even if the European Union is trying to change that. It is unlikely that the owners of Apple technology have the prospect of changing the cable (and this already happened with the 30-pin connector) will inspire. Nevertheless, for the average user, the universal ability to use one USB-C cable for several devices will be pleasant. The optional Lightning cable only messes up.

Both the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the iPhone 11 pro Max lack a 3.5 mm headphone jack – manufacturers are increasingly aggressively imposing the use of wireless solutions.

Galaxy S20 Ultra vs iPhone 11 Pro Max displays comparison

The 6.9-inch AMOLED panel with QHD resolution (3,200 × 1,440 pixels) in the Galaxy S20 Ultra is probably the best solution on the market, at least until the next iPhone.

The 2019 flagship is equipped with a 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR screen with a resolution of 2,688 × 1,242 pixels.

The biggest difference between the screens of the two flagships is that the S20 Ultra boasts a refresh rate of 120 Hz for maximum smooth scrolling (but not for maximum resolution). iPhone 11 Pro Max has a refresh rate of 60 Hz, which is quite sufficient in the work of smartphones on iOS. However, it is obvious that increased frequency clearly improves perception. You can verify this on the basis of another popular Apple product – iPad Pro, which has ProMotion technology, which allows you to automatically adjust the refresh rate of the screen to 120 Hz.

Moreover, for the screen of the flagship smartphone, Samsung by default selects a more neutral color palette relative to that provided in the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The South Korean manufacturer provides an opportunity for its users to establish an ultra-saturated color balance, which makes the shades incredibly bright.

In terms of pixel density, the S20 Ultra wins with 511 ppi; the picture will be a little sharper than on the screen with 458 ppi in the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

What is the difference between the Galaxy S20 Ultra cameras and the iPhone 11 Pro Max

The stunning cameras of the iPhone 11 Pro Max take great pictures, but Samsung tried to get around the opponent with effective marketing solutions. It is no coincidence that the question arises: “How many megapixels are there enough to get a high-quality photograph?”

The array of four Galaxy S20 Ultra cameras on the rear panel has a camera with a record 108-megapixel resolution. The selfie camera in front got the opportunity to take 40 MP frames. In addition, larger sensors can capture more detail and light.

The Ultra model stands out even among its S20 brothers with its zoom lens, which provides 10x optical zoom. IPhone owners can only envy this. In addition, Samsung introduced Space Zoom technology, which combines hardware and software to form a “hybrid optical zoom” and zoom up to 100x.

At the same time, owners of the iPhone 11 Pro Max will continue to rejoice, taking off the rear 12-megapixel cameras from the triple block.

The main camera of the iPhone 11 Pro Max has the same f / 1.8 focal length indicator as in the S20 Ultra.

The telephoto lens of the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a better (lower) focal length index of 2.0 compared to the S20 Ultra and its f / 3.5.

The ultra-wide Galaxy S20 Ultra lens has better f / 2.2 performance compared to f / 2.4 on the iPhone.

In addition, the S20 Ultra is equipped with a fourth camera, dubbed Depth gauge, which allows you to more realistic blur the background in portrait mode.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra also benefits in video recording quality, allowing you to shoot at 8K resolution. The iPhone 11 Pro Max still maximizes only 4K shooting.

Samsung will certainly hasten to assure everyone that the company’s new flagship is the fastest on the market. That’s just the current model of Apple 2019 looks still preferable. From the test leak for the S20 line and its processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 managed to find out about the result of 3230 points on the multi-core Geekbench 5 test.

Meanwhile, the Apple A13 chip from the iPhone 11 Pro Max is still ahead of that figure – 3,517 points.

But it is believed that Samsung and Qualcomm should spend these months handicap to at least catch up with Apple, if not surpass.

What is the difference between Samsung Galaxy S20 and iPhone 11 Pro

12/02/2020 by ALOK DAS

At yesterday’s presentation, the company Samsung introduced immediately four new smartphone models. The company has three flagship models made a niche clamshell Galaxy Z Flip.

It’s time to compare the current smartphones of market leaders. Galaxy S20 vs iPhone 11 Pro – who’s who?

Key differences shortly

Three new flagships in the new Samsung line Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 + and Galaxy S20 Ultra. The first is logical to compare with iPhone 11 Prosecond – from 11 Pro Max.

Modification S20 Ultra leave out comparison, on paper it is an unprecedented flagship. In fact, we compare the model with iPhones already in a real test.

▸ The screen in the Galaxy S20 has increased (6.2 ″ and 6.7 ″) and has become noticeably different from the iPhone line. The main distinguishing feature of the display is the support for the refresh rate 120 Hz.

▸ Dimensions of models are already habitually more elegant than those of competitors. Smartphones that grow every year are almost impossible to control with one hand.

▸ The filling got a minor update, it makes no sense to compare the performance in different operating systems. The flagship, as always, will work fine for several years without lags and brakes.

▸ Cameras have become the main update of the Galaxy S20 line. The triple module by all parameters bypasses the cameras in the iPhone. On the other hand, 8K video and 64-megapixel photos seem clearly redundant.

▸ The price tag on the model differs markedly in favor of Samsung gadgets, which for many will be a decisive factor.

Now consider in detail all the differences.

1. Display

IN iPhone 11 Pro installed Super Retina XDR display, which is made on OLED technology and has a diagonal of 5.8 inches. Resolution is 2436 × 1125 pixels, which gives a density indicator of 458 pixels per inch.

IN iPhone 11 Pro Max only the diagonal and resolution differ. The parameters are 6.5 inches and 2688 × 1242 pixels, respectively.

The displays have HDR10 support, and the contrast is 2,000,000: 1. The maximum brightness that an Apple smartphone can display when viewing HDR content is 1200 cd / m². The working brightness value is 800 cd / m².

In the base model Galaxy S20 installed 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with Quad HD + resolution (3200 x 1440 pixels). The ppi is 563.

Larger model Galaxy S20 + equipped with an enlarged display up to 6.7 inches, but with the same resolution Quad HD +. This slightly reduces the ppi to 525.

Both matrices claimed support for HDR10 +. The technology differs from the usual HDR10, which is in the iPhone, the presence of dynamic metadata. In fact, this requires special content, at the moment even regular HDR is a rarity. Both technologies will be better visible on modern TVs than on small screens of smartphones.

The more significant difference between the Galaxy S20 is the maximum screen refresh rate. When lowering the resolution to FullHD +, you can turn on the 120 Hz parameter. At Apple, this technology is only available on the 2018 iPad Pro. We are waiting for such a chip in the iPhone 12.

So far, only real tests can show the difference in perception of 120 Hz on the smartphone screen and the autonomy of the gadget in this mode of operation.

There were also last year’s differences between Samsung flagships and Apple smartphones: the front camera module built into the display instead of the big bang on the iPhone and the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner located under the matrix, which has not changed much over the year. Only minor programmatic improvements in the module are announced.

The rounding of the side edges of the screen familiar to the Galaxy line has not gone away.

Who has a better screen: on paper, Samsung’s advantage is obvious. In fact, you will have to wait for the first reviews of the matrix in 120 Hz mode.

In addition to this innovation, do not forget about the useful feature Always on display, an analogue of which is still not in the arsenal of Apple.

The rounded ends of the screen in the Galaxy line for some are a small advantage, for others – an uncomfortable disadvantage. On the iPhone side, it’s a familiar convenience.

2. Case and dimensions

Here are the sizes of all compared models:

iPhone 11 Pro: 144 x 71.4 x 8.1 mm and 188
iPhone 11 Pro Max: 158 x 77.8 x 8.1 mm and 226 g.
Galaxy S20: 151.7 × 69.1 × 7.9 mm, 163 g.
Galaxy S20 +: 161.9 × 73.7 × 7.8 mm186 g

As you can see, Samsung devices have a more elongated body, but at the same time, thinner and lighter than their direct competitors.

The narrow horizontal block of cameras from the Galaxy S10 turned into a massive rectangle, which became very similar to his brother in the iPhone.

Samsung smartphones have a proprietary narrow side frame, to which the front and back panels “flow”. Design elements are typical and recognizable for the Galaxy line.

At the start of sales, three colors will be available: blue, gray and red. For the S20 + model, a black model will appear instead of blue. On the side of the iPhone 11 Pro is a golden, “space gray”, silver and dark green color of the case.

Who has better dimensions: iPhone SE 😊. It seems that smartphone manufacturers have forgotten how convenient it was to control gadgets with one hand.

Models have comparable dimensions and there is no obvious winner. One is more familiar with Samsung’s narrow elongated case, and the other a wider iPhone.

3. Filling

IN iPhone 11 Pro the processor is responsible for the calculations A13 bionic with 3rd generation Neural Engine. The devices with 64, 256 or 512 GB built-in memory without expandability.

According to various sources, Apple smartphones 4 to 6 GB random access memory. In the second case, 2 GB is supposedly reserved by the system for processing a large amount of data from smartphone cameras.

Battery capacity is 3190 mAh in a conventional model and 3500 mAh for model Max.

All iPhone models are equipped with a slot for one SIM card, there is support for eSim. Only modifications for the Chinese market have a dual SIM card slot, but such devices are not officially sold or serviced at service centers in the Russian Federation.

Heart Galaxy S20, depending on the region of sales, will become one of the processors Snapdragon 865 or Exynos 990. For countries where the work of 5G networks is certified, the device will have an appropriate module on board.

The regular model has two modifications on 8 or 12 GB RAM and 128 GB for data storage. Galaxy 20+ will be available 8 or 12 GB RAM and 128 or 512 GB drives.

Model batteries will receive 4000 mAh and 4500 mAh, respectively.

In place is already the familiar combined slot, which allows you to use a pair of SIM cards or a SIM card and a microSD memory card up to 1 TB.

Who has a better filling: on the side of the Galaxy S20 is already the usual support for memory cards and two SIM cards. In addition, the model has a more capacious drive in the basic configuration.

It is pointless to compare the performance in synthetic tests on different software platforms.

4. Cameras

Camera Modules in iPhone 11 Pro and Max models are identical. Front-camera 12 MP ƒ / 2.2 takes excellent photos, supports software algorithms for processing photos and overlay bokeh effect. Video shooting available 4K at up to 60 fps.

At the back are three 12-megapixel modules: wide-angle (ƒ / 1.8), ultra-wide-angle (ƒ / 2.4 and a viewing angle of 120 °), and a telephoto lens (ƒ / 2.0).

2x optical zoom is available to decrease (when switching from a normal viewing angle to super-wide) and to increase (when switching from a conventional matrix to a telephoto), there is a 10x digital zoom. High-aperture lenses paired with software processing take good pictures at night.

To the point: big test cameras iPhone 11 Pro

Apple smartphone can shoot video in maximum quality 4K 60 fps. When switching to 1080p, you can increase the frequency to 240 fps.

From a captured video with a resolution of 4K, you can draw 8-megapixel photos.

Front cameras for models Galaxy S20 practically do not differ from the previous generation. It’s time tested 10 megapixel sensor 1.22μm, F2.2.

The main camera modules have three lenses: 12 MP wide-angle (1.8μm, F1.8), 12 MP ultra-wide-angle (1.4μm, F2.2) and 64 MP telephoto lens (0.8μm, F2.0). In the Galaxy 20+ model in the camera unit there is an additional DepthVision depth sensor.

Available 3x optical zoom and 30x digital. Thanks to the increased aperture ratio and software algorithms, the devices shoot well in low light and in the dark.

Smartphones can shoot video in maximum resolution 8K. After shooting, any frame from such a movie can be turned into a 33-megapixel photo. There is a super slow motion mode. In this case, the user will receive 960 frames per secondbut only in HD resolution.

Chip appeared Multi-shot, during its activation, the smartphone records what is happening using all cameras from 3 to 10 seconds, and then offers the user to save successful frames or videos.

Who has a better camera: the flagship camera, which appears six months later than the competitor, should initially be better. At the same time, Samsung tried to stretch some indicators into sky-high distances.

It is unlikely that even the iPhone 12 will be able to record 8K-video, 64-megapixel photos and slo-mo with 960 frames per second.

In practice, such opportunities are likely to be useless. The comparative test of cameras in everyday use cases will solve everything.

5. Price

▸ iPhone 11 Pro: from 89 990 rub.

▸ iPhone 11 Pro Max: from 99 990 rub.

▸ Galaxy S20: from 69 990 rubles .;

▸ Galaxy S20 +: from 79 990 rub.;

On the Samsung model, pre-orders will start accepting on February 21, and the start of sales is scheduled for March 6 in the USA and Europe and March 13 in Russia.

Samsung smartphones have a more pleasant price tag, which emphasize several significant advantages. On the side of the new Galaxy S20 is a 128 GB drive in the base model, support for two SIM cards and more sophisticated cameras.
