iPhone 12 vs Samsung S21 Comparison

iPhone 12 vs Samsung S21

It's hard to choose between these two high-end smartphones. They're priced almost identically, but they have other things in common, such as their size, screen quality and 5G compatibility. To decide between them, you need to look at their specific features.

Samsung S21, a screen with an adaptive refresh rate

The screens of these two smartphones, although different, offer similar qualities. They are both equipped with excellent AMOLED displays. The Samsung S21 stands out when it comes to refresh rate. It offers an adaptive screen. This means that it can automatically adapt to the application you are using. This way, you preserve the autonomy of your device, without ever losing quality. Another difference is that its screen simply has a small hole in it to hold the front-facing camera. On the iPhone 12, the notch is larger as it also houses the facial recognition sensors. The Samsung S21, on the other hand, only has a fingerprint sensor.

iPhone 12, more autonomy and a new charging system

The Samsung S21 has a very modern design, but the iPhone 12 is still the leader in terms of charging technology. It features MagSafe magnetic recharging, which allows you to recover full battery life by simply placing it on a suitable charger. The camera's photographic capabilities are also well proven. The triple camera module can take great pictures in all light conditions. However, unlike the Samsung S21, it does not have a 30x zoom. The iPhone 12 is also the only one of these two models to have an Ultra Wideband U1 chip. This gives you a particularly accurate location.

It's really hard to tell the difference between the Samsung S21 and the iPhone 12, as their qualities and performance are so similar. To help you, take a look at their software. With Apple, you get iOS, which is very fluid and easy to use. You are also guaranteed to get the latest updates as soon as they become available. With Samsung, you can count on the latest versions of Android, since the manufacturer assures that its smartphones will be able to evolve with at least 3 major updates.
