Considering Apple uses Samsungs OLED displays with their own calibration settings, I’d say in comparison, Samsungs OLED tends to be with a higher saturation and more ‘washed’ colors. Kind of a known fact for quite some time. Apple tends to more neutral with their displays with temperature/calibration.
Got a tip for us?

This is frequently mentioned on photography sites. It’s true of most of the Asian companies, not just Samsung.
Apples calibration could do with some tweaking to be more consistent. The differences I've seen in the wild show Apple haven't got it right yet. They could do with allowing us to adapt our displays ourselves. Colour filters ain't it!
I guess it comes down to personal preference. Some like the punchier look of Samsung displays and others prefer a more natural colour temperature. They are both great displays.
I guess the notification delay only becomes apparent if you are using an iOS device alongside an android one.
I remember buying a MBP in 2007 with a discrete top of the line nvidia graphics. Now I get intro integrated garbage. Or a mid range ATI card in a pro machine.
I agree. I don’t have an issue with Samsungs display calibration with the Galaxy/Note line, but I’m also just partial to the iPhone in general. Either way, they both come from the same manufacturer.
So cus Apple dosnt have ultrasonic scanner but they have faceID u think they are falling behind? Wow...
In defense of the S10 my notifications come on time and have so since launch. But i do recall you having a few different issues with your device. Thankfully mine has been perfect.
Apples strength has always been in their software. They make great hardware but it’s their operating systems and services that make their devices so appealing.
I agree with most of this.
The A12 is a beast, having seen the latest OnePlus 7 Pro and Note10+ Benchmarks, it’s clear the A12 is still ahead and A13 will only get better.
In terms of Camera, as impressive as Night Mode and Zoom are in the P30 Pro, I have found my XS Max to take more consistently great shots, especially in good lighting, the iPhone is still a brilliant camera.
I just wish they would advance more in Zoom and low light.
ALSO, iPhone still seems to be the best phone for Video Recording, a feature that seems to get often overlooked, Videos shot in iPhone are always amazing and stability is near unparalleled to this day. My P30 Pro videos do not hold a torch to my XS Max videos, Huawei need to work on Stability, I think Samsung remains king of video in Android.
Haptic Feedback, that is all Apple all the way, they own this, the way my iPhone and Apple Watch vibrate, you can just tell it’s a premium product, no rattling on tables, no drama. Its unmatched.
I believe Sony are trying to catch-up here, but they barely exist in most countries now.
Yay data ? And if I remember the “data” the note 9 and note 8 performed better by DisplayMate and they just said the note 10 has the best screen

I have had a faulty iPhone 4 totally unrelated to antennagate. My speaker broke. So by your simple logic Apple devices sucks. Cause you know .... one out of thousands means it all sucks.
Argue no? You just make a dumb accusation that android devices must suck because your one friends device was broken. I’m correcting you . Hearsay isn’t proof of anything . Funny how I don’t have any issues with iPhones owning one and an iPad but if you dare not be an ultra fan of Apple your opinion is wrong here. The OP is making an absurd comments but to simple say android sucks is just dumb . If you don’t like them fine but they still don’t “break” unless it was the note 7. If anything we can bring up bendgate lol
You’ve got to look at many sources combined. Arguably the S10 tested better than the Note 10+ in his test if you look specifically at the data. If you read Anandtech’s review of every single Android phone in the display section you’ll see what I mean. My Xs Max makes the Galaxy Tab S4, Tab S5e just look stupid during dark scenes.
It’s not only the automatic color management between sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts that actually works, but also having access to 700 nits of brightness whenever the user chooses, not just under high ambient lighting. But to me it’s how they deal with black crush and all of the negatives that are inherit in AMOLED displays. Apple is still the only one to have properly dealt with these things. The only specification they could arguably be lacking in is resolution. That’s it!
Wow the cliche of "Apple isn't innovating." That's such a tired cliche, find something new!
[doublepost=1566531962][/doublepost]
5G and Wi-Fi 6, yeah ok list stuff that's actually real features the majority of users can use, neither of these are even accessible by 97% of consumers.
GPU- as you said "in my opinion." Well your opinion sucks.
Audio jack- lmao!
They should have both......when your iPhone is laying on your desk iFace ID rarely works
Supposedly this is being addressed with muti-angle Face ID with the iPhone 11 where it will unlock when the iPhone is lying flat.

Damn I think Apple can crush it in the hardware department. The 7NM A12X in a 5.9mm thick iPad Pro is a monster! The GPU is more powerful than a Xbox one S. And the CPU is more powerful than a Xbox one X and plenty of high end laptops, or i5 desktop computers. We have the juice in our phones and tablets with A12’s and A12X. We need the content to push them now. Console ported games, better applications to utilize this power. The only thing lacking is better application development to push our hardware to what it is really capable of.
A tired cliche that keeps being brought up over and over... Why? Because all they do nowadays is update. The iPhone has looked pretty much the same for how long now? The MacBook Pro looks the same, the Mac Mini looks the same, the iMac looks the same. They are just updating the same old hardware over and over. Well I guess you can call a $1000 aluminum monitor stand an innovation if you must... What's a cliche is people claiming the "eco system" is what keeps them here.
I think what gets people is that they look at everybody else’s phone that’s coming out and they are like WOW. That’s nice! The Note 10 has that nice reflective color for instance. But in reality. When the iPhone X came out, it was the first of its kind in a way. And now everybody has copied it and put their twist on it or even exceeded it with their hole punch design.
This is no different than when the Samsung edge came out, or the Motorola atrix, the htc one plus, the original note. We just grow tired of the same design over time when in reality, theirs not much more that Apple can do. The iPhone is literally a sheet of glass lol. Literally, the only “flaw” is the notch.
You can make a case for USBC but it doesn’t need it. You can make a case for “faster” wireless charging, but it doesn’t need it.
The iPhone has great cameras, we just want low light mode similar to the pixel. Like. That’s it... none of these things are ground breaking.
Phones just honestly have flatlined.. similar to back in the old days of windows mobile and palm treos. When every phone was basically the same. It just came in a different wrapper.

What about this... everyone who has an iPhone 7 is about to get pissed:
