Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra vs iPhone 11 Pro Max By PhoneArena

Hey guys I'm press and these phones are the best. We've got the Samsung Galaxy note, 20 ultra versus the Apple iPhone 11 Pro max, and yes, that is a lot of words for just a couple of phones so which one of these two is the best, obviously is the one with the is gonna, be hard, isn't it let's start with design Samsung, always freshens up its phones just a little so the Galaxy Note 20 ultra is not something radically different from before, but it's touched up here a little facelift there, so it looks and feels fresh, but it's still comfortable and very, very familiar apple loves to stick to its old designs for quite a lot of time. This does help to make the iPhones more recognizable in a crowd for sure, but for those of you that crave a fresh look and feel they might get a bit annoyed by that the Samsung Galaxy note 20 ultra is huge. It's got a 6.9 inch display with a 19.3 by nine ratio. So it's a gargantuan phone, it's a two-hand phone for sure it towers over the Apple iPhone 11 Pro max and even the iPhone is pretty big as well. But of course, this should be no problem for you, because, if you're looking at one of these two phones you're, definitely a power user who is ready to have a big phone to stuff in their pocket and use with two hands.

Of course the benefit is that you get a huge display and let's talk about those screens, the screen on the Galaxy Note: 20 ultra is big. It's beautiful. It's got great, great crisp, colors and details, and it only has a very tiny punch hole for the selfie camera. Of course apple loves its notch thing, so the Apple iPhone 11 Pro max has that notch at the top of the display, which takes a bit of real estate away from you. The Galaxy Note 20 ultra, of course, has the new 120 hertz display refresh rate, which makes all the animations be fluid and natural and responsive- and it just looks great- it's addicting, and it's very hard to go back to 60 hertz, once you've been at 120.

The iPhone 11 Pro max is sadly still locked at 60 hertz, and we are hearing rumors that even the iPhone 12 will not do 120. When it comes to color calibration. The note 20 ultra has a choice between the super punchy, AMOLED colors, or you can choose natural mode and get very realistic down to grounded colors. On the iPhone side. You only get one color calibration, which is apple's super accurate colors.

Of course, both of these devices are great media machines. You've got stereo speakers on both on the Galaxy Note, 20 ultra side, we've got meteor mid, the speakers sound full detailed, quite loud, and they do not distort very easily on the iPhone 11 Pro max side. We've got this scoped mid-sound, so it's a bit tinny, it's still loud and detailed, but depending on what you're listening to the iPhone might sound a bit harsher than the Galaxy Note, 20 ultra. Of course, we've got the infinite argument between the two ecosystems. We've got android on the Galaxy Note, 20, ultra and iOS on the iPhone, and it all comes down to app stores, because a lot of developers prefer to make their stuff for the iPhones first, and then they may or may not port them to android.

So you still have a few exclusive apps for the iPhone, especially for creatives like musicians or artists, but Samsung does make its own suit of pretty good apps for its galaxy line, the galaxy s and the galaxy notes- and it also has extended partnerships with Microsoft, for example, to bring you some free subscriptions and some trials for their productivity apps and since we're on the topic of productivity. The Galaxy Note 20 ultra is a multitasking king. You've got split, screen, you've got floating windows, you can switch apps on the fly and thanks to a ton of ram on the device. I found that very often when I go back to open an old app it instantly opens where I left off, whereas Apple has kind of a different philosophy. You've got one app on screen.

Show it play it great. It's fast, it's responsive, it's snappy and then, when you go to close it, it just freezes in the background. So in terms of multitasking, the note 20 is definitely the king. Of course. Samsung also has the DEX, which is the desktop experience suit.

What is DEX um it's a platform which transforms your android into a more window like desktop user interface, uh, where you can have plenty of windows all around you can attach a keyboard. You can attach a mouse and do your work on the go. The iPhone 11 Pro max has none of that. The Galaxy Note 20 ultra also happens to have the s pen, which is Samsung's signature, stylus, it's powered by Wacom technology, it's great. It has been great for years, and this year it's been upgraded.

It now has a nine millisecond response time down from what was double digits milliseconds, and it's very, very cool. Furthermore, it's responsive. Furthermore, it has tons of pressure levels, it even responds to angles. I will say about its new gestures, where you wave in the air, don't count on them, they're, not great, but otherwise, if you want a stylus on a phone, this is the best device you can get for that either. Drawing or handwriting Samsung also really wants to push the Galaxy Note, 20 ultra as a gaming device and, of course, with the snapdragon 865 plus or the Enos 990, it's a pretty fast phone.

You can't find a game on the play store which will make it stutter or lose frames. It's just a beast of a phone, and I have plenty of good time playing some multiplayer games on it. Thanks to a partnership with Microsoft, you will also be getting a three months worth of Xbox game pass and access to Microsoft's cloud game streaming feature which should be coming in September. If everything is okay with it, of course, Apple's iPhone is also a beast with the Apple A13 bionic chip, which is a record breaker in its own right, and it can of course also run pretty much everything on the app store. There are some fantastic games for the iPhones out there, and you've got Apple Arcade, full of pretty good, looking fun and even serene titles.

Naturally, the biggest thing about smartphones, the cameras and you may have noticed that huge camera bump on the Galaxy Note 20 ultra remember last year, when we used to make fun of the apple triple camera the stove design. Well now it looks tiny the Galaxy Note, 20 ultra camerae is big bulky, and it has some serious hardware underneath the main camera has a megapixel sensor, but it does take 12 megapixel photos by default because it brings the pixels together to make big, gigapixels and collect more light. Then you have a 12 megapixel ultrawide camera and the 12 megapixel telephoto camera, which has five times optical zoom, but I'm not done yet. You can also zoom up to 50 times uh with Samsung space zoom, which is kind of a digital hybrid mix thingy, which magically makes things that are far away from you. Look sharp a bit washed out, but still impressive.

The iPhone 11 Pro max is not insane. It has a 12 megapixel, main camera, 12, megapixel ultrawide camera and a 12 megapixel telephoto camera, which still has two times optical zoom. If you want to zoom in at the max it's 10 times, digital, so no 15 or 100. None of that, if you're into bird watching uh, maybe go with the Galaxy Note 20 ultra. But let's talk about image.

Quality you've got some running themes like uh the Galaxy Note: 20 ultra is a bit colder, and it likes to go deeper on the blacks, and you can really nitpick and picks a pixel peep. All you like, but they are fantastic. You've got great dynamics on both devices. You've got some pretty insane algorithms working in the background and just giving you the best possible photo with just the top of our shutter. Now, when it comes to video the Galaxy Note, 20 ultra of course, can record 8k video at 24 fps, which is a lot of pixels.

I'm pretty sure not a lot of people out there have the machines at home that can run 8k footage flawlessly, but hey you've got the option on your Galaxy Note: 20 ultra the iPhone 11 Pro max caps out at 4k at 60fps, but there's still another selling point here. The Galaxy Note: 20 ultra comes with a manual mode within the camera, app where you can control absolutely everything. ISO shutter speed, focus and color temperature, which is pretty great, and it even has focus peaking now on the iPhone 11 Pro max. You don't have that by default, but you can buy and download a separate app that may or may not do that in a pretty good fashion bottom line. I really, really like the Galaxy Note, 20 ultras manual mode, whereas I had to fish quite a lot to find a good app on the app store for that.

Last but not least, let's talk about batteries. The Galaxy Note 20 ultra, has a 4 500 William hour cell in the back. That's that's a huge battery, and you know it has a lot of hardware to keep on, so it actually can still only last you about a day if you're a heavy user- and you probably are, if you're buying this phone on the iPhone side, we've got almost 4 000 William hour battery, which also can last you about a day with a good amount of usage. Personally, I found that when it comes to gaming, the iPhone might drain a bit faster, but for all other applications they pretty much trade blows and that pretty much is it which of these phones. Do you like more personally, I have no idea which one I would buy? So what about you? Let us know in the comments down below subscribe to phone arena.
