Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra compares to the iPhone 11 Pro Max 

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra V/s the iPhone 11 Pro Max 

Here we compare Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra vs IPhone 11 Pro Max:

Screen Size 6.9 display v/s the 6.5 display 

Now, looking at the sizes of both of these devices, they are both very big. . Now, the S20 Ultra is bigger overall . It's quite a bit taller. it's also a little bit thicker . But, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is slighter wider and it also weighs a bit more . 


              Now, the reason why the S20 Ultra is taller is because it does have a larger display. 6.9 display v/s the 6.5 display on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. 

• The iPhone 11 Pro Max has that notch with uniform bezels all around. 

• The S20 Ultra has slimmer bezels and it has a punch up for the front-facing camera. This is going to give you a higher screen-to-body ratio. 

                 Now although both displays are based on OLED technology, which is going to give you vibrant colors, very deep blacks , the S20 Ultra does have a higher pixel density, which is going to give you sharper images, and more importantly, it does have support for a 120 Hertz refresh rate. Now the 120 Hertz refresh rate is only enabled at full HD plus. So, you are going to be losing a bit of resolution, but in exchange for that, you are going to be getting a much smoother experience. Now this will be particularly noticeable when you're scrolling for example, or when you're in games and this is a big advantage that we've got here on the S20 Ultra. And overall I think it's easy to say that the S20 Ultra does get the win here for the displays, and it's got one of the best displays in the market, no doubt. 

Design 

Now let's talk a little bit about the overall design and build. Both of these are very premium devices. We've got a combination of metal and glass. 

• The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a stainless steel frame. the iPhone 11 Pro max has frosted glass on the back. Now the frosted glass on the iPhone 11 Pro Max because it attracts less fingerprints. The S20 Ultra has an aluminum frame. 

• The S20 Ultra has a glossy glass on at the back.The S20 Ultra can quite easily attract those fingerprints. 

               Both devices are also IP68 water and dust resistant. Now the glass on these devices is different. 

Color Variant 

You have more color options on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, four in total, where as on the S20 Ultra, you only have the two color options. The Cosmic Gray and the Cosmic Black. 

Rear Camera 

Now things get quite interesting when we look at the camera modules. So the iPhone 11 Pro Max has the square camera module and the S20 Ultra has quite a large rectangular camera module, which is also on the left-hand side. 

                                                                                        Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra V/s the iPhone 11 Pro Max 
              Now design-wise which one of these you prefer is going to come down to your personal preference, but we do have these camera modules for particular reasons. 

• The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a triple camera setup. All of these are 12 megapixels. You've got an ultra wide camera. you've got a primary camera and you've got a telephoto camera, which is going to give you up to two times optical zoom and up to 10 times digital zoom. 

• The S20 Ultra goes a little bit insane, because you also have the ultra wide a primary, a telephoto. In addition to that you have a time-of-flight sensor, which is going to help with depth information, but let's talk a little bit about these cameras. So, the ultra wide 12 megapixels, it's slightly wider than what we've got on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but then the primary camera is a 108 megapixel camera, which is absolutely insane. it's going to allow you to have up to 10 times hybrid optic zoom and up to 100 times super resolution zoom, which Samsung are calling Space Zoom.

 4K and 8K Recording 

                                                                                         Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra V/s the iPhone 11 Pro Max 

• The iPhone 11 Pro Max 4 K up to 60 frames a second on all cameras. 

• The S20 Ultra also looks very promising and it can offer up to 8K video recording. Now this is the first mainstream smartphone that's going to have 8K video recording, and that's just, maybe and I'm just like absolutely baffled. 8K video recording on a smartphone. 

Front Camera 

• The iPhone once again consistent 12 megapixels here. 

• The S20 Ultra 40 megapixels. 

             So, they're really going insane with all of these megapixels. Once again you are going to be getting some pixel binning, so you're going to combining like four pixels into one to let in a lot more light by default. but you're going to be able to go ahead and change this if you do want that full 40 mega pixels resolution. And both devices can also film 4K from the front-facing camera at up to 60 frames a second. 

Processor And Chipset 

• The iPhone 11 Pro Max  has the 813 Bionic chip. 

• The S20 Ultra is going to come with either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset or the Samsung Exynos 990. 

                Now which one you get is going to depend on your region, and you also do get more RAM on the S20 Ultra, but as you guys know when it comes to actual performance, the software plays a big, big part, and we do of course have a very different software. We've got a iOS 13 on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. We've got Android 10 with One UI on top on the S20 Ultra. 

Storage 

• The iPhone 11 Pro Max does come with either 64, 256, or 512 giga byte option s at different prices of course.

• The S20 Ultra comes with the base of 128 giga bytes. You can get up to 512 gigabytes as well. Now this is UFS 3.0 storage. So, this is faster storage and with the S20 Ultra, you do get a micro SD card slot. So, you can expand the storage above that already large storage version of 512 gigabytes. So, you can get a terabyte micro SD card and you can have up to 1.5 five tera bytes on your smartphone. 

Security 

• Now for security the iPhone 11 Pro Max has Face ID, works really, really well. 

• The S20 Ultra has the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. 

Audio 

The audio. So, both devices do have serious speakers, and unfortunately neither of these have a 3.5 mm jack. 

Battery

                                                                         Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra V/s the iPhone 11 Pro Max 


This is something that was kind of expected with the S20 Ultra batteries, the S20 Ultra does have a larger battery. You're looking at around 25% larger. In terms of usage we're going to have to wait and see. The iPhone 11 Pro Max has been giving me some great, great battery life. So, it'll be interesting to see with that 120 Hertz refresh rate how much of an impact that has on daily battery usage. But the S20 Ultra does have faster charging compared to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Both devices also support wireless charging. However, the S20 Ultra does have support for Wireless PowerShare. This is where you're going to be able to use your S20 Ultra to charge other devices wirelessly. 

5G Support 

                     

• The S20 Ultra has is that it's got support for 5G. 

• This is something that the iPhone does not have as yet. 

Price 

• The S20 Ultra is coming in higher but you are getting more storage and of course you are getting 5G. And this is going to vary, this price is going to vary depending on your region. And in terms of availability the iPhone of course is available right now. Iphone 11 pro max price is Rs 109,900. The S20 Ultra price is Rs. 92999.
