iPhone 12 pro

The iPhone 12 pro max is the biggest iPhone Apple has ever made and it's also the best. The iPhone 12 pro max is the kind of product Apple only releases once in a while. The kind that looks different is built on fundamentally new technology and will ultimately form the basis of future iPhones for years to come. It has an attractive new design, a straightforward and complete approach to 5G, good cameras and even better performance. 


Design

The shiny outer rim looks fancy but it is also a magnet for fingerprints. Essentially the design of the 12 Pro Max is just a larger version of the iPhone 12 and 12 pro and despite the size, it still fits well in the hand and it's easy to hit LCD or screen lock button on the left and the volume keys on the right. The notch on the iPhone 12 pro remains pretty large but the true depth camera still comes in very handy for face ID. The iPhone 12 pro max is also tougher this time around, you will get a ceramic shield display upfront, that's rated four times the drop performance as well as a better IP68 water resistance rating that goes down to 6 meters instead of 4 meters.

Display

With its 6.7 inches OLED display, the iPhone 12 pro max's OLED panel is smaller but brighter than the 6.9 inch galaxy note 20 ultra. This device also happens to offer the the most color-accurate display we have ever tested. The only thing missing from the iPhone 12 pro max is a smooth 120-hertz refresh rate display. 


 

Camera

The iPhone 12 pro max offers the best cameras on any phone. It comes with a quad rear camera setup, you will get 12 megapixel wide ultra-wide and a telephoto lens, and also, there is a time-of-flight 3D scanner. It has a larger main sensor than the iPhone 11 pro which is designed to deliver an 87% improvement in low light conditions versus the iPhone 11 pro max. The main lens on the iPhone 12 pro max also features a fast 1.6 aperture and a lighter sensor for faster auto-focus. You also get a 2.5 x optical zoom from the iPhone 12 pro max's 12-megapixel telephoto lens, which is behind the note 20 ultra 5x zoom but is better than the 2x zoom on the iPhone 12 pro. The camera does a superb job in low light. The iPhone 12 pro max cameras smart HDR3 capability also did an amazing job. The iPhone 12 and pixel 5 were more evenly matched in portrait but the iPhone does a better job rendering face especially in the shadow. You can take great selfies with the 12-megapixel front-facing camera. However, the rear-facing cameras deliver a much better performance and are especially impressive in mixed lighting conditions with natural skin tones and a good ability to bring out low light detail. The result is simple if you want to take the best pictures with an iPhone you can't look anywhere else but the iPhone 12 pro max. You can record 4k video at 60 fps and the video quality is mind-blowing.

Performance and Battery Life

When it comes to sheer performance the A14 bionic processor in the iPhone 12 pro max paired with 6 GB of ram has no equal. The gameplay remained as fluid and smooth as the console. This phone supports every flavor of 5G including sub 6 gigahertz and MMOF. One of the biggest reason to buy the iPhone 12 pro max is the extra endurance you get from its larger battery, it comes with a 3687 milliampere battery with 20-watt fast charge support.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

The Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra is the most advanced big-screen phone so far because it's much more than a phone it's a highly evolved note-taking device.

 

Design

Samsung has made its most elegant-looking phone yet with the galaxy note 20 ultra. The squad of edges combined with the sophisticated mystic bronze color gives this handset a corner of his 5. The finish does a good job of resisting fingerprints.

Display

The massive 6.9-inch OLED Quad HD plus a display on the galaxy note 20 ultra is big bold and colorful. More importantly, this is the first Samsung phone to offer a dynamic 120-hertz refresh rate. The display is exceedingly bright and is fairly easy to read in direct sunlight. When using the display scrolling is super smooth and fast. You can always choose 60 hertz manually if you want to save battery life.

Camera

The Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra features a triple rear camera setup plus a laser autofocus sensor. The camera array starts with a 108-megapixel wide camera with a 1.8 aperture and it's paired with a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view. The 12-megapixel telephoto lens delivers a 5x optical zoom and up to a 50x super-resolution zoom. The zoom lens delivers amazing quality every time you zoom into something you will be surprised by the distance it covered and the details it captured. The galaxy note 20 ultras night mode is good but it's not quite as bright or colorful as the iPhone 11 pro. Pictures taken with this device deliver stunning quality with great details and colors. The note 20 ultra delivered better results than the iPhone 11 pro in close-up shots. If you want to record the sharpest video possible you will be pleased to know that the Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra can record 8k video with a 21 by 9 aspect ratio. There's also a new pro video mode that lets you control the focus exposure and zoom speed. The 12-megapixel selfie camera up front has a 120-degree field of view which should come in handy for group selfies.

Performance

The Samsung galaxy note 2 ultra benefits from a swift 9ms response time for its S pen which is designed to deliver more of a pen-to-paper feel when taking notes or drawing. It's one of the fastest Android phones around and it's one of the first handsets with Qualcomm snapdragon's 865 plus processor. This chipset boosts the clock speed by up to 10 percent to 3.1 gigahertz and the graphics is also 10 percent faster than the regular snapdragon 865 chip inside the galaxy s20. This processor is paired with 12 GB of RAM and either 128 GB or 512 GB of internal storage. As you would expect from a premium flagship the galaxy note 20 ultra supports both flavors of 5G. You will also appreciate the improved decks experience which is now completely wireless now you can beam hearts on your galaxy note 20 ultra screen to a compatible smart TV.

Battery

The galaxy note 2 ultra packs a pretty beefy 4 and 500 milliamp battery which held up well in daily use. It comes with 25-watt fast charging. It also supports wireless charging and 9-watt reverse wireless charging. It offers the best-in-class display a better spin experience and a bootloader of a new feature for work and play. The cameras are stellarly fixing the focusing problem with the galaxy s20 ultra and the powerful zoom and Xbox gameplay give the note 20 ultra advantage over the upcoming iPhone 12.

Xiaomi Mi 10 ultra

The Xiaomi Mi 10 ultra is a big smartphone in every dimension in fact it's not far off from Samsung's recently released galaxy note 20 ultra. The Mi 10 ultra is heavy and can be cumbersome if you don't have big hands and deep pockets.

Design

Xiaomi went with a glass sandwich design with aluminum rails and curved glass on both sides. On the front, there's a full-size display with a punch hole in the top left and a speaker grille above the glass. the Mi 10 ultra is not IP certified which is unfortunate. Other phones at this price point particularly those from Apple and Samsung offer protection from water and dust.

Display

Xiaomi opted for a 6.67-inch full HD plus 120-hertz bullet panel instead of a quad HD plus screen. At this price, I don't think this is a problem given there are many amazing decks that's packed into the device. The panel is smooth and fast as well as vibrant with deep contrast if you don't like the excellent adaptive color setting you can change it in the comprehensive display settings menu. Brightness was quite good even under direct sunlight the Mi 10 ultra was easily viewable.

Performance

The Xiaomi mi 10 ultra skips the fresh snapdragon 865 plus in favor of the regular 865. Either way the Xiaomi meter ultra is very fast. I didn't have a single performance problem in my week with this device. I played lots of games took many photos and did a lot of multitasking. I just couldn't get the Mi 10 ultra to stutter. I think it's fair to say that whatever you do on your phone will be light work for this device. It comes with 8, 12, or 16 GB of ram depending on the variation.

Camera

Camera-wise the Mi 10 ultra comes with a quad-camera setup there's the main 48-megapixel main camera a 20-megapixel ultra-wide camera a 12-megapixel portrait camera and finally a 120x ultra zoom camera. The Xiaomi Mi 10 ultra takes punchy and contrast-heavy images with a fair amount of dynamic range. This device seems to be able to capture white balance well. On dull days the phone took dull photos on bright days the phone took the right photos. The Mi 10 ultra biggest photography feature is its zoom functionality, Samsung offered 100x zoom in the s20 ultra but the Xiaomi is offering 120x in the Mi 10 ultra. I found the mi 10 ultra night mode to be one of the worst I have ever encountered on a flagship smartphone. It struggled with flares captured every little detail and was overall rather disappointing. On the front, there is a single 20-megapixel camera for selfie duties. The Mi 10 ultra takes some decent selfies but there is a fair amount of skin smoothing going on. Selfie portrait mode photos seem to look rather realistic. The Mi 10 ultra video is average at best it's got 8k video at 24 fps alongside the standard usd 60 fps mode. there's also a 960 fps slow-motion mode.

Battery

On the surface, the Mi 10 ultra battery is an average size for this class of smartphones. It's a 4500 milliamp cell in a device with five cameras a power-hungry chipset and a big high refreshed display. Xiaomi software, however, works aggressively in the background killing applications and optimizing power users to deliver good battery life. The device charged from 0 to 100% in just 21 minutes in our testing. It includes 120 watts fast charging, it also comes with 50-watt wireless charging and 10-watt reverse wireless charging.
