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.
Apple will probably include ProMotion on the next iPhone. Putting ProMotion and 5G X55 modem in the iPhone 12 probably would have been too much of a battery drain. The X60 modem is suppose to be more power efficient which will be going in the next iPhone. I originally planned on getting a iPhone 12 Pro Max but decided to wait one more year as my iPhone 6S+ still is working well.
 
Yeah but they have 120hz
Get back to the whirlpool forums mate lol. I’ve been banned from the android section for 10 days, didn’t even do anything wrong, having a nice convo with the android lads, like I’m doing here, the mods are very power hungry over there, they close down post very quickly, even when nothing bad was said.

Hats off to you, I couldn’t help myself and caved straight away. 🤦‍♂️😂

Because Samsung and android will always be garbage, this is from a s21 ultra owner, what a joke of a phone, can’t believe Samsung held a event for their exynos chip. 🤦‍♂️😂😂

The chip is useless.

So in your view, empirical evidence from somebody that posted on a forum? Okay. And we could all very quickly find posts like this for any product. And by the way, the American market Samsung S21 Ultra uses the Snapdragon 888, not the Exynos, so in my particular situation the Exynos is irrelevant.

Yep, they’ve had the phone for a few days now, it’s always the same story with android phones every year, especially Samsung phones, promise and under deliver, lag, bloat, shocking user experience, why do you think their sales have been dropping year after year, and they discount their flagship phones so quickly.

While on the other hand apple keeps having record iPhone sales.

I’m not going to get into a back and forward argument, hope you enjoy your phone, if not their is always a iPhone waiting for you. 😊
 
S21 ultra users already complaining about battery life 3h30m usage lol. Meanwhile my iPhone still has 45% battery left and still going.

You've used a few? They were just delivered for pre orders today.
I’ve used three different store demos with similar websites and always get a jarring frame rate drop at some point. It happens on my Tab S7+ as well.

This fall the new iPhones will be some of the smoothest devices on the planet with 120Hz ProMotion combined with the lightning quick response time of AMOLED. I can’t wait.

Well....you're wrong. I own the phone and I'm not using store demos which god knows how they were configured or the connection method. BTW, the brightness on the Ultra is way more than Note. It is actually known for it's brightness. Some incredibly hilarious shills here. Don't know if someone is paying you to spread disinformation or just enjoy it. I do enjoy fantasy fiction but yours are not nearly as entertaining as the kind I buy for the Kindle. Don't think I'll waste any more time.

Not arguing, but I just find your conclusions incorrect. FYI, I have an iPhone I use for work. Also, iPhone sales have declined 9% since 2019, and other Android brands have seen growth. Just saying, I don’t care how many phones sell, but it is just so obvious that you have no first-hand experience with Android, especially in its current version. And poking at an Android display phone at Best Buy doesn’t count.

I noticed in a lot of the unboxing and first impressions videos that the screen seemed to have a noticeable color shift. I got flashbacks to the iPhone X when I had issues with that same problem. Apple seems to have solved that issue these days but the S21 Ultra definitely has a blue shift as seen in a video comparison uploaded today. White seems more natural on the iPhone. A lot of people say it's the S21 Ultra being set to vivid mode but I don't think that has much to do with color shift issue.

It's not fair to put the s21 ultra up against the 12 pro max, maybe we should put it up against the 11 pro Max. 🤦‍♂️😂

Not gonna lie im loving the bezels on the s21 tho.
Looks good but far from practical, had a note 10 plus for a couple days, the curved edges are annoying as hell, accidental touches, the curved screen part of the phone looked a different colour to the rest of the phone, had a slight blue tint on the edges, video footage looks terrible when it overflows over the edge of the screen.

Apple better not get any ideas. 😂
 
Not sure what you're trying to accomplish? You do realize that most of us have iPhones as well as Android phones and dual / triple / quadruple wield...
Ahhh you do realise you're on a apple forum? not trying to accomplish anything, just amazed at how apple is in a league of their own when it comes to their chips.

Hmm...I’m wrong because you own the phone so I never saw the frame rate drops on three different S21 Ultra store demos. Oh and I own a Galaxy Tab S7+ but I never saw the frame drop there either. Got it haha.

I love the S21 Ultra and am very tempted to get one. We’ll have to wait until Displaymate does their testing but just so you’re aware 1500 nits is complete BS. You can achieve that brightness with 1% of the screen being lit. Pointless!
