Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus vs iPhone 11 Pro Max - 5 Months Later! | The Perplexing Truth. By ASBYT

Hi guys its ASP whitey, and today we're talking about two of the most popular smartphones around right now, the Samsung Galaxy note template own 11 pro max ?, amazing phones that I've had the luxury of using since launch and due to the prolonged use of both of these devices, I feel I can give an educated review for you. The good points, things that could be improved and who will each of these devices really actually for so without further ado, let's get straight to it now. Firstly, I'm, not a fanboy of either I show no allegiances to specific tech brands, I, just love, good tech and I also use Android phones and iPhones for various different reasons. So this is completely unbiased. So now you know, the tone of the video I'll also mention that this isn't going to be spec Laden. This is gonna, be more real everyday world use if you want specs, etc.

, see my original videos on both products, so we're gonna start with one for the social media lovers, and this is one of the main reasons doing what I do as a job. I have an iPhone around with me at all times. The quality of image and video compression on the likes of Instagram and Twitter is still better than on Android. The quality of Instagram stories, for example, still look better on the iPhone 11 Pro max than they do on the note 10 plus, it's not a massive difference. It's just noticeable when you put them side-by-side now.

Samsung did include a purpose-built Instagram section within the camera, app where you can post straight to which is a nice feature, but unfortunately they are still hand braked by the Android platform. On this, it's not a huge thing, but fine margins at this level for social media iPhone takes the win. Next up is media consumption and gaming, and there is no contest in this department for me, and we're not talking SOC is either the a13 Bionic in the iPhone and the Enos 9 8 to 5. In the note 10 plus, although it's not dragon 855 in the alternative variant, are all brilliant and comfortably breezed, not only day-to-day tasks, but also hardcore gaming sessions, as well without stuttering or lag I'm. More talking about user experience due to those respective two displays, the iPhone 11 Pro max has a brilliant display.

It's made by Samsung for a start with its true tone. It supports HDR, and it's certainly bright enough in sunny settings outside, but with those bezels and that notch, which unfortunately does cut into certain bits of content. Furthermore, it almost gifts, the win to the note M plus in this department, with its sloping curve, design and almost being edged to edge with just a little camera. Cutout means it's impossible not to become deeply immersed in gaming sessions or that movie you've been desperate to watch. The display, in my opinion, is still the best available to buy in early 2020, and only the disappointing 60 Hertz, refresh rate, which is the same on the iPhone compared to 90 and 120 s, which we have stopped me waxing lyrical and if the hurts' thing is a real issue for you just wait for the Galaxy S 20, that's all I'm, going to say a hundred and twenty thirds, apparently no I did a high-pitched voice.

Now the camera is a really tough one, so cool, because both of them are really top drawer, but subtle differences mean the best option really depends on what you specifically need from a smartphone camera. If its video would go with the iPhone hands-down, the best video capture on a phone right now, great audio stabilization and flexibility of shooting, with multiple lenses. On top of the fact that it has 4k at 60 frames. A second, both Anhui and front cameras mean it's really untouchable in this area. Now, Samsung also do a lot of things right with video, with multiple lens options, super steady mode and probably a better slo-mo function as well.

I mean it's a very well-rounded video camera setup, but the audio isn't quite as good footage comes out, slightly less sharp and the lack of 4k at 60 frames a second on that front. Camera means, in my opinion, the note is just a little behind the iPhone 4 video, a night mode is also pretty close, but in my opinion, actually the note is slightly better than the iPhone here. There is a specific, dedicated night mode. On the note.10 plus something that you don't get with the iPhone, so while on paper, you might think well, there's less to think about here. I, just simply press it snap it is takes it automatically if it's too dark it'll go into kind of night mode brilliant, but the trouble lies when the lighting is on that borderline level between being too light and too dark for the night mode.

If the iPhone doesn't think it's dark, if the iPhone doesn't think it's dark enough, if the only thing, if you're, if the iPhone doesn't feel it's dark enough, you won't Auto go into the longer exposure mode, and then you end up getting photos that, in my opinion, come out. Looking too dark casing point I was on a flight back from Barcelona at the weekend, and I was taking shots of take off during nighttime. I took shots with both the iPhone and the note, and in my opinion, the night photos came out looking a lot better because the iPhone didn't go into night mode. It senses there was too much like within the cabin too dark. The note photos came out looking better with that dedicated night mode because it allowed for that longer exposure.

It took in more light and the actual images out of the window of the Barcelona city below it was better exposed and just a better all-round photo. Now it is possible to kind of for snow mode on the iPhone 11 Pro Max by swiping up from the middle when you are in photo mode, but it's certainly not obvious and user-friendly and the average consumer probably doesn't even know it exists. Also, a major negative is the fact that you can't use night mode on the wide-angle lens, which is a real bummer, especially if you are taking lots of cityscape shots. You want to get lots of buildings in the shop. You can't do it, so I personally think having a dedicated night mode is a more user-friendly way of doing it equally, if you're more of a point-and-shoot and not really care too much and just want somebody else to kind of sort it out for you, then the iPhone is probably a better option for you and just to clarify you can get great night shots on both in standard photos.

HDR is brilliant on the iPhone. Its ability to raise the shadows, whilst not blowing out the bright skies, even in direct sunlight I might add, is phenomenal. The HDR is also decent on the Samsung as well, but I do find skies can become a little overexposed and washed out at times. Color temperature, though, is far better, in my opinion, on the note, 10 plus Apple, as I've said time and time again produce shots that are far too warm and the fact it seems impossible to alter this easily make some shots for me, unusable many users and content creators alike, post photos and selfies of pictures that they go. Oh, look at this.

This is an amazing shot using the new iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max, or even the iPhone 11, all pretty much the same camera for standard photos and selfies, and I'm sat there looking at it going am I missing something here. You look a little like a BS true and hotter than the Sun again, something like that will come down to personal preference, and some people will say that the note 10 plus pictures will look a little too. Cool I also prefer the wide-angle lens on the note 10, plus than I do on the iPhone, just due to the fact that it's got an 123 degree field of view compared to the 120 on the iPhone. So it's just a wider shot. You can fit more in the photo and for me, that's the whole point of having the wide-angle lens.

So you can capture a lot of the scene. Portrait shots are again the iPhone shots are probably sharper edge. Detection is okay, not sensational on either and neither can point-and-shoot with the accuracy on a moving target, animals, family etc. , like the pixel. Hopefully, this is a key area that both focus on going into their new flagships, the s20 in a month or so, and the iPhone they've got another kind of five months to improve.

On that now, I've touched on some strange decisions. Apple have made software wise revolving around that sort of camera setup, but some of these strange decisions, kind of run through the rest of the UI as well for a company that makes the hardware and the software together for one product, iOS 13, seems surprisingly clunky at times little things like not being able to tap in the middle of a word. So, whether like you can on Android when, let's be honest, most editing when it comes to text is individual letters due to a misspelling and that added press and hold just gets a little annoying. The fact that the back gesture still isn't universal across all apps is really quite irritating at times and the argument that it's down to these specific apps fault for not allowing this doesn't really fly with me because on Android, if you have a back gesture, it works across all apps. The fact that you still can't hide certain apps in an app drawer or more importantly, order apps from the bottom up, so apps are easier to get to on.

Let's face it, a pretty huge screen and don't get me started on the notifications, which, quite frankly, are a jumbled mess. Notifications on the note, 10, plus and Android as a whole are far more user-friendly, not only to see what on earth is going on, but also to respond to said notifications, whether that's replying to messages on social media or just swiping, and clearing them away. That being said, there is nothing like the fluidity of gesture control on iOS. The closest on Android would probably be one plus's oxygen OS, but Samsung's 1ui 2.0 here is decent as well yep, that's right, one UI 2.0! We now have Android 10 on the note, 10, plus and well it's not earth-shattering early. It wasn't probably a month earlier than I was expecting.

Usually it's February March time and mine got updated in January. Some of you got it I think late, December, so hats off to Samsung for being slightly early on this still not ideal. Io's is Apple soon, as they have an update available. It'll go straight onto the phone now I personally, like changing and customizing my setup a lot so Android suits this knee better. For me, however, many people won't be bothered about this and would prefer the simplicity of iOS operating system is probably the hardest area to remove bias from because, let's face it, 99% of all people will either like Android or iOS, and they won't really like changing between the two so to be objective here to help you is almost impossible.

There really is no right or wrong answer unless you're a Windows Mobile fan now with battery. However, we can be objective. The Galaxy Note 2 M plus, has about the same battery drain times as the standard iPhone 11 Pro, but the pro max absolutely crushes it. A lot of this comes down to better power efficiency. This year, from the 10s max from last year, which had a pretty poor battery performance, I can pretty easily get to the end of the day, with both with medium to heavy use, but I'm.

Finding where the note would die. I've got around 15, sometimes even 20%, left on the iPhone. So it is a remarkable achievement. What Apple have done this year with the battery, but again we're going to counter it, because charging speeds are better on the note 10 plus, quite frankly, the iPhone takes about an hour and a half to fully charge, whereas on the note 10 plus, is around just over one hour now. One big advantage of the note 10 plus, is, of course the s-pen.

The iPhone doesn't come with the stylus and that stylus I do use quite a lot on the note whether it's indeed for jotting down notes or signing contracts, for example, I, do use it quite a lot like I've said many times before I'm, not a massive fan of the new gestures this year and I, don't really use it for designing drawing, etc. But if you are into that, then it is a handy feature, but the one thing I do use the pen for the most is that remote camera shutter option it's not new. This year it was introduced with the note 9, but it is still, in my opinion, the most handy feature more so because I'm on social media, a lot and I have to take pictures a lot of the time remotely and if I want to make it look like someone else has taken the photo when indeed it is just me, it's a great tool. Another great use for this is if you're taking a group shot, you can simply set the phone up, get into place and then take the shot using the pen. So you don't have to set up a timer and then have that mad dash to get into place before it goes off.

One area that the iPhone does win in is the ecosystem and many people talk about the Apple ecosystem as a real negative thing, but if you are indeed in it, I think it's a positive something do have their own kind of ecosystem. With the galaxy watch, galaxy, buds, etc. , but there is nothing quite like using my iPhone with my MacBook Pro airdrop, using my air pods pro. So if you do want that, all-in-one system, and you're happy to pay for it, there is still nothing better in my opinion than that. But if you don't want all those features, and you're not marking on spending thousands and thousands of pounds, then you probably won't want to get involved in an ecosystem, and then it becomes less influential for you.

Apples face, ID is rapid and secure, and I really don't feel the need to use a fingerprint scanner. Samsung's face unlock is also quick, but it is less secure and if you wanted a more secure method of unlocking your device, you can of course use the 3d fingerprint scanner on the note 10, plus it's touted as being the most secure fingerprint scanner available. Even though there was a pretty huge design flaw when using a screen protector a while ago, but apparently that's been patched, and you shouldn't really have a problem with that anymore. I still haven't a hundred percent been happy with the accuracy and speed of the fingerprint scanner on the note 10 plus, regardless of trying anything in everything, that's been posted in the comments section below on all the videos like press and hold tap and release quickly stand on your head spin around three times, dress and drag and do the hula so hopefully, with the Galaxy S twenty they're able to update this a little and I. Don't know why I spoke so partially, then updated so little like I'm Prince William.

Oh, you know fairness I've been up since 5:00 a. m. this morning, with a little and so you're going to have to bear with me in terms of wear and tear there's a few hairline scratches on both it's pretty impossible with this sort of devices to not get that unless you put a screen protector on your phone, but outside that I haven't really had any problems with wear and tear other than one little ping on the bottom corner of the note, when I literally just basically threw it out of my pocket getting out of a car smashed on the concrete and to be fair other than that, it was fine. So I'm pretty impressed with that, haven't really dropped the iPhone. Yet so contra leave outs for it, but, as Apple say, the strongest glass on a smartphone.

If you believe that both of them have brilliant sound with stereo speakers and here's a quick test for you. So as I said at the start, I do use both of these devices regularly. I love using both of these devices regularly there's a few key things that are different. There's also a lot of things that are very similar and great across both. Hopefully, the pros and cons that I've outlined in this video will help you make a decision, if, indeed you're not sure, and whichever one you choose and do.

Let me know in the comment section below which one you're going to go for or have gone for and why you will not be disappointed with either like and share if you enjoyed the video subscribe. If you love everything, tech, breaking news, unboxing, the reviews are lovingly viewed I'll see in the next one: accessibility, peace out.
