iPhone XS Max APPLE FALLING BEHIND IN HARDWARE

Both are active, and yeah as I’ve been telling you over the past couple of posts, besides the fact that iOS only supports it in landscape orientation I can do pretty much what your link shows on my 11” iPad Pro (active app with video playing on the half-left part of the screen and active browsing window on the half-right part - not PIP but actually 2 apps running). For some reason you seem to have decided it can’t do it and won’t accept that it can. But the fact is that it does work no problem.

Agree, the resolution could improve, but it's not bad at the moment. More importantly it has the best colour and excellent contrast, both of which are more important.
Battery can always improve, sure, but are the flagship Android phones better than the iPhone Max, or just certain models?
Ram... iOS manages it way better than Android, so it needs less. Is there something you're doing on a current gen iPhone where you find yourself needing more?
Yup, wireless charging speed could be faster.
Wired is not too bad actually. Current gen can do 30 watts with usb-c pd. 45w would be even better though.
I also agree that I'd like to see more capable apps that can take advantage of the power.

Tell me which one looks better. Galaxy S10 vs Xs Max.

Hahaha. Well the Xs Max does by far. It’s the little things with Apple! I’m surprised I was even able to show the difference using a smartphone camera too.
Went back to look at it and the s10 screen is terrible, black crush, distortion on the edge, colors look faded.
Is that normal?
Yeah, kinda was.
No that's not normal. I have the S10+ and the display is nowhere as represented in those photos. OLED (especially from Samsung) will not show such grayish blacks. Blacks will have the pixels turned off. So that has to be a differ version of the same picture on the S10. Is that even a S10? Cause it looks like it has a back light.
Upon closer inspection.... No way is that an S10. Look at the bezels. And the black border at the edge of the display.

It’s an S10 haha. Exactly. These two scenes in that video are the test of a really good AMOLED panel. Both are sourced from Samsung Display. But the X, Xs, and Xs Max all performed equally during these.
The 8 Plus had horrible smearing on the cymbal scene like the S10 and my Tab S5e. Everywhere else the S10 looked great.
Oh ok. Even if it has a hole punch in the upper right corner of the display? What is it then?
What hole punch? There is none.
The only thing that is clear is the black borders of the display. The corners would be rounded is it was the S10, but that display shows the corners are angled to form a perfect rectangle.
Yep, all of those things would be 100% accurate while watching a video that has an aspect ratio of 16:9 in a pitch black room! Y’all are funny.
You know? Well now what do you think? Zoomed in now. Man I wish the Xs Max had a 2K resolution and could support 1440P. That’s my only complaint.

I do not believe you posted the same phone. But regardless .......
This is how it really looks .........
S10+ .......Pics taken with S9+
Completely pitch dark .....
Turned on some light for this one .......
It still looks the exact same just zoomed in now haha! My gosh dude.
Nice, that looks better on the S10+.
The S10 has the same display as the S10+, just a size different. So your pics are completely NOT representative of how the S10 display looks.
You’re honestly unbelievable right now! My pictures speak for themselves dude! It’s worse in real life and the Tab S5e is just embarrassing with those scenes. This has been a complaint of attentive reviewers for years now. Black crush, banding, etc. Fix it Samsung! End of story.
