iPhone 12 Pro Max vs Galaxy S20 Ultra vs Galaxy Note 20 Ultra – How They Compare

Any smartphone brands’ enthusiast, going into the market to buy a phone, must have a bitter-sweet feeling this year, as the competition has grown severely and the decision has now become extremely complex. Just like we expect every marvel movie to be better than the last, every flagship smartphone must also exceed the expectations set by its competition or its forerunners. A huge question mark encircles the device and the person advocating it, on the off chance that it does not do good on the scale.

This year, Apple has come up with its latest range and is set to break off all of its previous sales records. Apple’s latest flagship is the iPhone 12 Pro Max and possesses all of the ideal features that we had anticipated it for. Whilst Apple’s ideas have always blown away its customers and competition, Samsung has brought in a storm with Galaxy S20 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with the innovative and technical transformations. Both handsets of Samsung are being ranked amongst the top smartphone of 2020.

The word ‘Ultra’ is defined as ‘excessive, extreme, beyond what is proper, moderate or ordinary’. Ultra is perhaps best used as a prefix to elevate something’s properties and it is befitting to Samsung’s smartphones as they have been designed to win at technology.

5G and Connectivity

All three of these smartphones have been equipped with the latest technology and are 5G incorporated. Galaxy S20 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra can both connect easily with any 5G network carrier globally available although iPhone 12 Pro Max cannot support fast mmWave 5G band outside of the United States making the customers deal with 4G LTE in its place. Like all other smartphones, these are fully functional with Wi-Fi networks. Therefore, if you are subscribed to a provider like Optimum or maybe Spectrum rest assured that you will have the same ease of movement that mobile data users have.

Doesn’t matter where you’re off to because Spectrum has you covered with its great network of Wi-Fi hotspots; it’s like your own little internet device in your pocket. Without any added cost, you can enjoy the same speed and reliability. In order to maximize the sophistication that comes naturally with using these smartphones, you should check out Spectrum deals for something ‘Ultra or Pro’. A great phone deserves a great internet connection to keep you connected to the world, and Spectrum provides just that. The deals offer several internet packages that would suit just about anyone.

Display and Design

The design of Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is perfect to be termed as a well-thought and strategic device although most of the element has been borrowed by Samsung’s previous series. The glass and metal body is the epitome of premium experience and its gorilla glass victus panels on both front and back would be enough to keep the phone from being scratched. Galaxy S20 Ultra, on the other hand, stands tall as a traditional Samsung design in all its glory. The device comes with a gorgeous 6.9 inches AMOLED panel whilst its counterpart Galaxy Note 20 Ultra magnifies its glory in full form with its 6.9 inches OLED display.

Galaxy S20 Ultra is slimmer than both, Note 20 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max, making it exceptionally easy to carry. Galaxy S20 Ultra comes in Cosmic Grey, Cosmic Black, and Cosmic White colors whereas Galaxy Note 20 Ultra brings Mystic Bronze, Mystic Black, and Mystic White to life with its otherworldly touch. Apple has used its newest safety aspect logged as Ceramic Shield and is 6.7 inches tall making it the largest display screen across Apple handsets.

The Super Retina XDR OLED display gives its users an unmatched experience and incorporates a Gorilla Glass Victus panel. The color options available for the customers are Pacific Blue, Gold, Graphite, and Silver with Pacific Blue being the audience favorite as of now. The refresh rate on iPhone 12 Pro Max has not gotten higher which might not be the best news to the tech geeks although its adequately sharp resolution of 2778 x 1284 pixels might be a relief for the sore hearts. All three smartphones are IP68 certified which means that they can resist immersion in water and exposure to dust for up to 30 minutes increasing their durability.

Camera

Before getting into the specifications, one thing that everyone agrees to is that camera is the most important hardware element on most smartphones for most people and all three of these smartphones do not disappoint in this regard. The Apple’s flagship has the head of its users high up with a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, a 12 MP wide sensor, and a 12 MP telephoto shooter equipped with 2.5x zoom. LiDAR scanner is also installed for depth measuring capabilities.

Galaxy S20 Ultra comes with a 48 MP, 4x optical telephoto abled 10x lossless hybrid zoom feature, a 108 MP primary wide lens, a 12 MP ultra-wide shooter, and sensors to record depth information. Although Galaxy Note 20 Ultra comes with the same brilliant camera features as of Galaxy S20 Ultra however its telephoto lens exceeds all expectations and offers 5x optical zoom with 50x hybrid zoom.

Performance and Battery Life

iPhone 12 Pro Max is equipped with the latest processor of Apple, the A14 Bionic, and RAM undisclosed as always. All three of the smartphones house futuristic processors. Note 20 Ultra and Galaxy S20 Ultra come prepared with either the Snapdragon 865 Plus or Exynos 990. While Apple’s processor has better capability because of its 5 nm technology, Samsung’s designs are no slouch with the 12 GB RAM.

Note 20 Ultra offers a full day usage without a worry with its 4500 mAh battery and S20 ultra, on its high horse, flags the battery at 5000 mAh. Apple has not disclosed the battery life as such, nevertheless, it offers 15W wireless charging with an Apple charger, 18W fast charging, and 7W charging feature with standard Qi chargers.

Because of Apple’s move to remove the power adapter from the box, it is worth mentioning that Note 20 Ultra is boxed with a 25W wired charger while the handset supports 15W wireless charging and 4.5W reverse charging to channel power to an attached accessory or another smartphone.

Conclusion

At this point, we cannot come to terms with which phone can be crowned as the best although all of the smartphones in light are the best versions of the series. Moreover, a new tech revolution can be anticipated with such artsy and ultra-modern ideation. These smartphones have a lot of features and you can buy one that resonates the most with yourself.

One element that is new to all of these phones is the 5G inclusion and when your device is accepting advancement, why don’t you, as well?
