iPhone 12 Pro Max Unbox Theraphy - Galaxy S21 Ultra vs iPhone 12 Pro Max

Is it not possible just to agree that if you own either of these phones, you’ve got a really good phone?

We’ve known for years and years that when comparing phones you’ll ultimately find certain aspects that are better on one and others that are better on the other. A lot of the user experience is subjective too. Nobody ever wins lol :)

Ding ding! This is the correct answer!

But it is 😊 the s21 series videos on YouTube
already lag, very obvious opening certain apps, changing camera modes, one thing that will never change with android, even scrolling on android feels weird, nowhere near as smooth as iOS.

Yeah I’ve used a few different S21 Ultra’s and had some jarring frame rate drops when using Samsung Internet. It’s the same thing using my Tab S7+. The consistency of iOS is pretty much untouchable.

Spot on, when it comes to animations, responsiveness, smoothness and performance iOS is unmatched.

Exynos 2100 is already throttling badly, some Geekbench scores are as low as 860 and 2800 lol, just using the camera makes the phone throttle.

I like Samsung phones a lot. And I’ve never had any issue with any of the devices I’ve heard after the Note 7. Although I’ve been primarily an apple user and still am. It’s really the eco system keeping me in at this point. The differences in flag ship smart phones nowadays are minimal. And every day use I don’t think anyone would ever notice. I haven’t had lag or any kind of funk issues on the last 3 Samsung phones I’ve used (last year the first year I skipped) l. However I upgrade my iPhone yearly .

I’m happy with my iPhone,iPad,applewatch, appleTV multiple AirPods and the list goes on with how invested I am in apples eco system. I love it. But I will say I have more fun and just love the Samsung phones when I use them. However I always switch back because everything flows so well together on the apple side. No iMessage really is a pain

You've used a few? They were just delivered for pre orders today.
 
That Throttling on the Samsungs 😳😂 While the A14 performs like a absolute champ 🥶

This is a interesting test showing the difference between the glass used on the Samsung S21 vs the iPhone 12. The glass on the iPhone 12 is harder to scratch and is better at heat resistance than the glass on the S21. The other interesting thing is the camera area on the S21 is aluminum and it can scratch easily.

Didn't know the S21 Ultra was having bad issues with the Exynos 2100, i thought it was meant to have finally caught up to the snapdragon. Keeping my Note 10+ till it dies lol

Considering they held a event for the exynos 2100, very disappointing.

I have both phones. And actually I had the pro Max 12 for a couple of weeks. The Ultra is so much smoother than either with the adaptive refresh. The 10+ is certainly a nice phone but I'll have to give it up to AT&T shortly. The screens on both Samsungs much better than the pro Max and no PWM.... Which is why I had to return the iPhone.

Doubt that’s the case, not consistently anyway, people have already said they notice camera lag, dropped frame rates and heat issues.

Lovely thing about iPhones they’re buttery smooth 24/7. 🧈😋

I've had both phones. You haven't. I go between platforms yearly. You're a shill for one.

Mate, people who have had the s21 ultra for a few days, have said they notice lag and frame rate drop issues. iPhone has been the king and still is the king when it comes to smoothness, responsiveness and no lag.

Android phones can’t even get scrolling right, whenever you scroll on a android phone, it’s like a rubber band effect, feels shocking compared to the scrolling on iOS.
