The recently announced Galaxy S20 Ultra and iPhone 11 Pro Max can be called the best representatives of two different camps – Android and iOS. Thus, it is natural to compare the main characteristics of these devices with each other.

Comparison of design and size

Screen:

Galaxy S20 Ultra – 6.9 “Dynamic AMOLED, 120 Hz.

iPhone 11 Pro Max – 6.5 “Super Retina XDR OLED, 60 Hz.

Dimensions:

Galaxy S20 Ultra – 166.9 × 76 × 8.8 mm, 220 g.

iPhone 11 Pro Max – 158 × 77.8 × 8.1 mm, 226 g.

While Samsung is making the front camera smaller, the front panel of the iPhone still has a black notch with sensors. But there is an excuse for this – Face ID sensors are located in it, while Galaxy relies on a less secure selfie camera to unlock it in the face, and light and proximity sensors are on-screen.

Both smartphones are made of glass and metal. They became more similar to each other than previous versions of the Samsung and Apple lines. For example, the Galaxy S20 Ultra display is not as curved as its predecessors, the 3.5 mm headphone jack and the dedicated Bixby button have been removed.

As for the size, both devices are quite impressive. The S20 Ultra has dimensions of 166.9 × 76 × 8.8 mm (with a protrusion of the camera unit +2 mm) and weighs 220 g. The dimensions of the iPhone 11 Pro Max are 158 × 77.8 × 8.1 mm, so it’s slightly a little shorter and wider, but a little heavier – 226 g. Despite the fact that they have approximately the same size, the diagonal of the S20 Ultra is larger – it is 6.9 “versus 6.5” for the iPhone.

Hardware Comparison of Galaxy S20 Ultra and iPhone 11 Pro Max

CPU and RAM:

Galaxy S20 Ultra – Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 / Exynos 990, 12/16 GB.

iPhone 11 Pro Max – Apple A13 Bionic, 4 GB.

Inner memory:

Galaxy S20 Ultra – 128 GB, microSD up to 1 TB.

iPhone 11 Pro Max – 64/256/512 GB, without extension.

Cameras:

Galaxy S20 Ultra – 108MP + 48MP + 12MP + ToF.

iPhone 11 Pro Max – 12 MP + 12 MP + 12 MP.

Battery:



Galaxy S20 Ultra – 5000 mAh.

iPhone 11 Pro Max – 3696 mAh.



In terms of hardware, the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the iPhone 11 Pro Max have the best of today’s smartphone world. Of course, the Snapdragon 865 processors (Exynos 990 for the international version) and the Apple A13 Bionic in these two models have yet to be compared in tests, but these are the most top-end and powerful representatives of mobile chips. The capacity of the internal storage of the “apple” – 64/256/512 GB to choose from. Samsung has one option – 128 GB, but you can install a memory card up to 1 TB.

In some things, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is superior to the iPhone, at least on paper. For example, Samsung’s new product received an AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz (for 11 Pro Max it is traditional 60 Hz). The S20 Ultra battery has a much larger battery (5000 mAh versus 3969 in the iPhone), but it remains to be seen whether this will significantly affect the autonomy of the smartphone.
