Samsung because of customization and options. I find iOS simple and boring and lacking in features but I’m not saying iPhones are bad at all just prefer android.
I'm not a fan of the hole punch at all, but Samsung hardware blows me away every year. Absolutely the highest end tech you can see in a phone each year.
@@87Michael it really doesn’t. Look at the Galaxy s9 with a bezel design. You get an iris scanner, still a facial scanner, intelligent scan, and a wide angle selfie camera with everything in that bezel. You literally get nothing with a hole punch. Except for negligible screen real estate. So how exactly is a hole punch any better?
This problem doesn't exist in many asian countries where people use whatsapp. Apple has locked the Americans through its imessage and facetime. As of now, apple ecosystem can't be matched though. But reliance on facetime and imessage should be reduced and cross platform alternatives should be encouraged like whatsapp, google apps etc

its such a hard choice to make, the camera does look better on the android, but my dilemma is that Apple keeps you so locked down on what you can customize. Much more freedoms on the Android OS. I always go back and forth and cant ever decide lol.

Lets face it, as an Apple user it is just a matter of doin' it! I will probably go for the Note 20 Ultra and buy myself a Ipad Pro, so there you go, best of both worlds.
I've been with Apple since the 3GS days and always been an Apple fan but there are things you can do more on an Andrioid than you could ever do on an Apple. The camera on my Note 20 Ultra is so much better. The zoom quality and 8K video are very useful. The expandable memory and bigger display why I switch from Apple and wireless powershare are useful features. Both phones are AWESOME!!
I upgraded to the iPhone 12 Pro Max from an iPhone X and it’s such a massive upgrade, battery life is finally good, the big screen is awesome I got used to it in a week, and the cameras are insanely good especially for night time photos.
I literally just bought this phone today and so far I love it. It feels a bit huge as I am coming from the Google Pixel 4XL. The only two things I'm bummed about is the camera bump and the s pen on the left side. Minor little things but no biggie. I'm also using lawn chair launcher to make it a bit more like my pixel experience.
I find that a pain switching sims, because all banking apps or anything like that needs sending codes to new phone , and if you have 2 step authentication set up , it's a ball ache lol
Yes I have both devices as well and I agree the Note 20 Ultra is my fave device of 2020 for sure but the 12 Pro Max is an excellent ios option as well. Both are great!
2007: No one. 2021: It’s actually a decent option since we’re so paperless and so many more apps. I keep taking my Apple Pencil and accidentally writing on the 12 Pro Max and realizing it’s not my iPad 😂
@@Hannah004 it's been an amazing phone. It's just a good handy phone that has amazing cameras and screen quality. The S pen has been very handy in situations for business and play. I would recommend it to anyone.
What I find interesting is people are willing to invest in Apples ecosystem with iMessage and Facetime, etc. and kind of get trap in it, but if they did the same thing for Android they would have the same experiences but also not be tied to brand, because Android works for nearly every brand or device. (Android also has iMessage-type functionality and Duo)
I ended up moving from the note 20 to the 12 pro max. I got too frustrate with the notes poor Bluetooth functionality which I use allot. iPhone is flawless for me in everything I do. I do have to say I miss the pen thought. Apple needs to swallow their pride and admit it’s a good idea.
I think they updated it into a great bluetooth experiance. i had problems at first ,but not anymore ! at least I can fix my note 20 myself. apple will not let you do that without serious $$$$$$$$$$$$
I had the note 8 plus and loved it. My wife bought me out and gave me a iPhone XS Max for my birthday a few years ago. Then I upgraded to the iPhone 12pro last November. I still like my note 8 better
@labuto mar yeah, but Apple stuff is better. Everyone in my household has an Apple device. Their phones are older but work better, all their devices connect to the home appliances easily while my device doesn't and I can't get a signal in the house while everyone else can, despite us being all on the same data plan.
That’s a good thing. Just ecause the ecosystem is too good that’s not an issue. Trust me if the ecosystem and phones were better on the other side I would switch. But it is still, Apple makes better audio products, smart watches, tablets, computers and do ecosystem things better.
@labuto mar no they are not. You can get an iPad starting at £329 and that’s not even Including the student pricing. The M1 Macs are crushing AMD and Intel counterparts and are so much cheaper. Your also getting longevity in software support and higher sustained resale value.
I always go with the note for one very important reason. It never fails I drop my android phone and the touch stops working. Having a stylus readily available is a smart choice. I've been using my note 10 for 6 months with stylus only. It's time to upgrade to the note 20.
I phone - No reverse wireless charge,, no expandable memory, no fingerprint scanner,,no physical dual SIM card, no type C, sub par zoom in the camera... still called a Pro.. Samsung all day for the win .
but it’s cheaper and it has better materials, better cameras (according to DXomark), better batery, its thinner, its more powerful, its almost the same across the world (not like the Note), ceramic shield, it has better 5G and it has at leats 5 years of new software updates (around the glove and in the same day). The note doesn’t have a LiDAR, true tone display and true tone flash, 4k 60 in all the cameras, dobly vision HDR 10bit, face ID and even its not physically, it still has dual SIM dude. My friend, its a “Pro” because its better than the “12’s” all of us has different needs and tastes
@@mati.jaimee I use both. However I feel the iPhones take their customers for granted and provide way less than what they can. I hope they will improve more . I agree they are Pro but only for pure iPhone users.
I’m lucky enough to own both of these phones and while I mostly agree with what he states especially how beautiful and futuristic these phones look, I have to disagree on the battery life thing. I don’t know if it’s just because I got the 12 pro max today but it honestly seems like I get better battery life on my ultra. And as far as displays go i honestly think Samsung takes the crown on that one. I’ve watched almost very review by Aaron and I’ve never seen what I saw about halfway through this video which kinda bugged me. When he’s doing the speed test and the note 20 ultra is noticeably faster he pauses then tries to make an excuse why that happened. Now I do reviews and am not nearly as big as zollotech but I’ve never been biased in my videos. I didn’t like Apple until the XS Max then my opinion changed now I love both of them. Neither is better than the other overall because each phone does something better in each catagory. Other than that great video. Thanks for the honesty.
19:02 Wow man, Thank you I thought I lost that feature in an update ( I was able to use it through edge split though but it was long). I tend to use that a lot.
My husband had Samsung note 20 and I have iPhone 12 Pro Max , after 3 weeks, he returned his phone and got iPhone 12 Pro Max also. We have several iPads pro, MacBook Pro and Apple Watches. I think we will never go with anything, but Apple products.
Do you know that note 20 ultra doesnt let you manually use highest briggtness? If you don believe me. Turn off adaptive brightness, and then turn on full brifhtness. After u done this take a flash light and put it near the light sensor, your screen will become even brighter, they do this so you dont damage your eyes using really high brightness when it isnt necessary.
Just got my 128GB Mystic Black Note 20 Ultra 5G. Got an unlimited everything plan with it and a Samsung brand case that strengthens the grip of the note 20 ultra by a TON! Loving this phone and don't think I'll ever switch over to the iPhone again. Too many breakdowns on my Apple phones after a few years and I'll always be a loyal Samsung customer after the great service and products they've sold and given to me!
iPhone 12 Pro Max using it about for month and love it i always used android and never used iphone before but this is nice change and i liked it and im sure this phone will last more than any android phone
For some reason I don't prefer to go for high end flagship model on android.. as for iPhone yes I would like to go for the high end flagship phone.. reason is the premium feeling and user experience.. but those freedom which android offers can easily be obtained even on a budget model.. that's my thoughts..
....annnnnnnd it’s literally the same exact experience no matter which iPhone model you pick. The only literal difference is materials used. With Android more levels of customization come available the better the phone you buy. Idk even know why I’m bothering... your profile pic says everything.
I have both but always come back to the iPhone because of battery life, CarPlay and HomeKit. They’re all more polished experiences. I have tried to get everything working in a similar fashion on the Note but it’s been nothing but headaches. I still have the note because it’s a beautiful phone and can’t bring myself to sell it.
@@Faevaaplayboi Bigger battery doesn’t mean better battery life! Iphone 12 Pro Max outlasts my Note 20 Ultra by a couple of hours, at least in the manner I use them.
Screens: I've had my iPhone 12 Pro Max 512Gb for 2 weeks now (upgraded from an iPhone 7 Plus). I'm surprised! I don't really notice the difference between them unless I put them side-by-side. Yes the 12pm is a bit brighter (very welcome because the 7p is difficult to see in strong sunlight when taking photos). Side-by-Side, you can tell that the 12pm has slightly warmer tones. I really DON'T notice any difference with the contrast ratios due to OLED! I've never used 120Hz displays and never felt that either of them were slow or laggy. True I don't play games on them so perhaps I'd notice it more if I did.
@@mahesa_mp hz its not everything, im back to 60 hz and no problems, its about preferences, its not like 120 hz is better, its only a visual, not a thing that make a phone better, and the iphone 13 will have 120 hz so thats good
I switched from the Note 10 Plus to the 12 Pro Max. Love the build quality, feeling in the hand of the iPhone, iOS app polish, ecosystem (MacBook user), and camera.
I can absolutely say, this comment section is one of the least toxic about these two OS. In all honesty, it just depends on what works for you. They both have pros and cons. I have used both platforms (Android mostly) however I do love both. Just simply what works for you. I personally just don't like apple as a company due to some of the decisions they make however their devices are absolutely amazing. Other than that, love both of these. I can understand why the decisions can be tough.
That bezel and notch looks so ancient on the iPhone and I’m an iPhone user. Funny how the A14 is slower loading graphically rich games, while it loads simple graphically unchallenging games faster than the Samsung.
The A14 is actually faster in both those categories, but it starts to struggle after some time due to throttling since it’s not as good as the Note 20 Ultra for long durations of gaming. A14 is undeniably faster in loading games and in audio/video production; just not so much for 3-5hrs continuous gaming ( high end games like Genshin Impact ). Note 20 Ultra is much better overall in gaming while the iPhone is better in productivity, with the cameras they are pretty much tied ( except for the videography since iPhone is better ). The almost notchless display of the Note 20 Ultra is an eye catcher though👀
@@jhmpt32 iPhones have GarageBand which is a great app for music production, great cameras with proraw and raw formats for photography, great mics for vlogging and great cameras for videography. They also have the a14 bionic chip which allows for a lightning fast conversion and processing of videos and music stuff, and they can easily be used together with MacBooks or iPads which will skyrocket their productivity level even more. Not to mention how crazy good their speakers are lmao🤣
I love the note phones. But androids always have the video too long, Unable to send. Issues with pictures or videos looking like crap from iOS to android.
I'm a college student and I have so many things to do with my notes so the s pen is very essetial for me and its a big benefit for me so I choose the note 20 although i have galaxy note 10 plus , afterall thank you . I really like your videos
Hi...does the note 20 ultra have any charge light indicator....or any light indicator at all? To the top left of my S7 has a indicator light that lights up red when charging and goes green when fully charged.....
Aaron, I have the apple 12 pro and the s20fe. I too wish apple would adopt some if not more Android features. My entire family has iOS so I’m kinda stuck because I don’t want to be odd man out. Enjoy your videos.
Awesome man, I was pretty torn on what to choose because I’ve been with iPhone my whole life. I think I’m giving Android a shot with the note 20, that 120 hrtz display sounds so nice. Thanks for your hard work in this videos brother :)
A week ago I upgraded my phone. I really wanted the iPhone 12 Pro Max but I had to pay like $650 and then every month a fee of $100 for 12 months, so it was simply too much money. I went for a Note20 Ultra which had a discount of $500 and I just payed $200 initially. I miss my iPhone 11 Pro Max but I love the Note, it's an amazing phone even with the Exynos chipset.
I generally like Samsung products and this looks to be a really cool phone. My challenge is that Apple products communicate seamlessly with each other.
I've bought into the Apple ecosystem. Though I'm not totally reliant on it. I could easily switch back to Android and not miss a beat. What got me into Apple devices a few years ago was the reputation of "It just works". Unfortunately, and this is just my opinion, is that Apple has fallen flat on delivering a near-flawless experience. I've participated in many of the beta releases over the last 2+ years. It's good to see many things get fixed. Yet I can't help to feel disappointed that some fundamental features of a smartphone continue to be plagued by the same issues over and over again. When on a public release update, I should not have UI stuttering or freezing. Keyboard should never be slow. These are basic and it's a mystery why, with so many years of experience and software development, these problems persist. Build quality has always be admirable. Not necessarily the best, but always the top 3 phones made every year. I wish they would just spend an entire year refining and truly fixing issues. The every other year of iOS that gets mentioned as years when they focus on software quality, I feel is not necessarily happening.
Zollotech I love your videos always very informative and deep into all specs of each phone, I had been a Samsung Note fan for 13 years but when the iPhone 12 max pro came out I decided to try it and ended up falling in love with it and the Watech series 6 so awesome, my husband still has Samsung galaxy 20 ultra plus....1700 for it vs same price for iPhone 12 max pro and the watch.... I still have Samsung Tab S7 plus tablet that I love so I have both to use if I want but I have come to liking the iPhone way more, do I want iPad pro sure but it would not make sense to me when I have the Tab S 7 plus not going to go and buy 1000 ipad and not use my Tab S7 plus that was 900 lol. Thank you again for a outstanding review!!
Planning switching to 12 Pro Max from Galaxy Note 10 Plus as my first ever iPhone 🙂 ... skipping S21 Ultra ... Sacrifice: Vanced TH-cam, Cinema HD, Gboard voice typing, 'go back' navigation, pulling down notification panel, comprehensive file manager etc ...😥 Looking forward to: reliable day to day photos and videos, genuine clean os, 5 years of software support, sturdy build with flat screen and steel frame (hate curved screen 😤) I prefer: battery over 120hz, ease of use over customisations, consistent camera over zooom & fun features. But still I fear being enslaved by IOS ☹️

All videos are in 60 fps so whats your point
8:30 front facing camera surprisingly the note 20 looks better. Richer.
In my opinion, the iPhone's colors in photography look more natural than the Note 20 Ultra
Totally agree with you.
yes but they look closer on last year’s 11 Pro’s , This year they have this yellowish-redish saturation
The note smashes the iPhone...No sentiments attached..
I literally just bought this phone today and so far I love it. It feels a bit huge as I am coming from the Google Pixel 4XL. The only two things I'm bummed about is the camera bump and the s pen on the left side. Minor little things but no biggie. I'm also using lawn chair launcher to make it a bit more like my pixel experience.
I have both phones and love them both. I just swap my sim card whenever I want.
My dream!
Sameeeee
I find that a pain switching sims, because all banking apps or anything like that needs sending codes to new phone , and if you have 2 step authentication set up , it's a ball ache lol
Yes I have both devices as well and I agree the Note 20 Ultra is my fave device of 2020 for sure but the 12 Pro Max is an excellent ios option as well. Both are great!

2021: It’s actually a decent option since we’re so paperless and so many more apps. I keep taking my Apple Pencil and accidentally writing on the 12 Pro Max and realizing it’s not my iPad 😂
@@juhunlee5808 yo chill this isn’t a battle between apple and droidtards
@@JavierLiera3 🤣🤣🤣 I agree
I have the Note 20 Ultra, my roommate has the 12 Pro Max. Great comparison 👏
Please tell me your opinion about Note 20 ultra... I'm really interested 🙏
@@Hannah004 it's been an amazing phone. It's just a good handy phone that has amazing cameras and screen quality. The S pen has been very handy in situations for business and play. I would recommend it to anyone.
@@StgVirus1 ah, i see
@@StgVirus1 Thanks 😊
Im locked into iMessage like most of us in North America, sad that's a reason but it is !
In Europe everyone uses whatsapp
in europe everyone uses whatsapp
even people with iphones
Nice detailed comparison. For me it’s more about the ecosystem, customer service, and resale value, to which nobody holds a candle to Apple.
What I find interesting is people are willing to invest in Apples ecosystem with iMessage and Facetime, etc. and kind of get trap in it, but if they did the same thing for Android they would have the same experiences but also not be tied to brand, because Android works for nearly every brand or device. (Android also has iMessage-type functionality and Duo)
I was surprised when messaging Android users it works same as imessage. Pretty cool
I prefer the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra. I do not like iphones!
I appreciate this man a lot! He always serves with great explanation, keep it up 👍
I ended up moving from the note 20 to the 12 pro max. I got too frustrate with the notes poor Bluetooth functionality which I use allot. iPhone is flawless for me in everything I do. I do have to say I miss the pen thought. Apple needs to swallow their pride and admit it’s a good idea.
I think they updated it into a great bluetooth experiance. i had problems at first ,but not anymore ! at least I can fix my note 20 myself. apple will not let you do that without serious $$$$$$$$$$$$
I've had an iPhone since the 3GS. So all my apps that I've bought are already here and I don't really want too start buying things all over again.
The notch, the bezels, the restrictions, the box content, the company behind the device... I would definitely go for the Note.
Im so stressed. I neeed to choose between them but i can't
same here
Note 20 Ultra.
Get the note20. Best phone overall
I got both
@@mmdaniels33 no cuz its overprized
Note series always beat iphone
I had the note 8 plus and loved it. My wife bought me out and gave me a iPhone XS Max for my birthday a few years ago. Then I upgraded to the iPhone 12pro last November. I still like my note 8 better
The Apple “ecosystem” feels like the only reason i can’t make the full switch to android
same here
I switched to Android. Thought I would be better/cheaper off. Big mistake.
@labuto mar yeah, but Apple stuff is better. Everyone in my household has an Apple device. Their phones are older but work better, all their devices connect to the home appliances easily while my device doesn't and I can't get a signal in the house while everyone else can, despite us being all on the same data plan.
That’s a good thing. Just ecause the ecosystem is too good that’s not an issue. Trust me if the ecosystem and phones were better on the other side I would switch. But it is still, Apple makes better audio products, smart watches, tablets, computers and do ecosystem things better.
@labuto mar no they are not. You can get an iPad starting at £329 and that’s not even Including the student pricing. The M1 Macs are crushing AMD and Intel counterparts and are so much cheaper. Your also getting longevity in software support and higher sustained resale value.
Note 20 Ultra is too much for it’s beauty! It’s so beautiful! Whilst the iPhone 12 Pro Max looks cheap.
I have had my iPhone 12 Pro Max since February 11, 2021 and I absolutely love it in every way!❤️
I always go with the note for one very important reason. It never fails I drop my android phone and the touch stops working. Having a stylus readily available is a smart choice. I've been using my note 10 for 6 months with stylus only. It's time to upgrade to the note 20.
Note 20 Ultra looks much futuristic next to the retro design of the iPhone 12 Pro Max
I phone - No reverse wireless charge,, no expandable memory, no fingerprint scanner,,no physical dual SIM card, no type C, sub par zoom in the camera... still called a Pro.. Samsung all day for the win .
u just mentioned samsung features and iPhone has type c, cameras better
but it’s cheaper and it has better materials, better cameras (according to DXomark), better batery, its thinner, its more powerful, its almost the same across the world (not like the Note), ceramic shield, it has better 5G and it has at leats 5 years of new software updates (around the glove and in the same day). The note doesn’t have a LiDAR, true tone display and true tone flash, 4k 60 in all the cameras, dobly vision HDR 10bit, face ID and even its not physically, it still has dual SIM dude.
My friend, its a “Pro” because its better than the “12’s” all of us has different needs and tastes
@@mrgg4787 iphone have type c? it has lightning not type c, the one used to plug in phone not in the adapter lol
Samsung is rumored to drop expandable memory next year on s21 and s21+ (Ultra will have it) so that makes both Apple and Samsung without it.
@@mati.jaimee I use both. However I feel the iPhones take their customers for granted and provide way less than what they can. I hope they will improve more . I agree they are Pro but only for pure iPhone users.
Watching this on my android phone 😁
Edit: ( after many weeks)
I’m lucky enough to own both of these phones and while I mostly agree with what he states especially how beautiful and futuristic these phones look, I have to disagree on the battery life thing. I don’t know if it’s just because I got the 12 pro max today but it honestly seems like I get better battery life on my ultra. And as far as displays go i honestly think Samsung takes the crown on that one. I’ve watched almost very review by Aaron and I’ve never seen what I saw about halfway through this video which kinda bugged me. When he’s doing the speed test and the note 20 ultra is noticeably faster he pauses then tries to make an excuse why that happened. Now I do reviews and am not nearly as big as zollotech but I’ve never been biased in my videos. I didn’t like Apple until the XS Max then my opinion changed now I love both of them. Neither is better than the other overall because each phone does something better in each catagory. Other than that great video. Thanks for the honesty.
Honestly, I noticed the bias more than twice in the video
19:02 Wow man, Thank you I thought I lost that feature in an update ( I was able to use it through edge split though but it was long). I tend to use that a lot.
My husband had Samsung note 20 and I have iPhone 12 Pro Max , after 3 weeks, he returned his phone and got iPhone 12 Pro Max also. We have several iPads pro, MacBook Pro and Apple Watches. I think we will never go with anything, but Apple products.
Do you know that note 20 ultra doesnt let you manually use highest briggtness? If you don believe me. Turn off adaptive brightness, and then turn on full brifhtness. After u done this take a flash light and put it near the light sensor, your screen will become even brighter, they do this so you dont damage your eyes using really high brightness when it isnt necessary.
To be honest i like Iphone. I try to use Samsung but I don’t like the touchscreen is very sensitive
So true 👍
That’s actually very very true
You can adjust the screen sensitivity
@@mrdextrous355 but how don't have that option on galaxy 20 fe
@@markkowalski1708 the feature is there
Great comparison video! Thanks for a great video and Happy New Year! :)
This is a very detailed review!!! Thank you so much for bringing this to us!!!
I'm confused between the two I've never used an iPhone before l'm used to the Android system and I'm afraid to replace it with an iPhone and regret it
I think iPhones always have a problem with 4k60 because the dynamic range always looks better at 4k30
I would pick the iPhone any day cause of the speed, camera, battery, security and eco-system
Ditto
good. I was worried.
Great video! Always with that zollotech quality!❤️
Just got my 128GB Mystic Black Note 20 Ultra 5G. Got an unlimited everything plan with it and a Samsung brand case that strengthens the grip of the note 20 ultra by a TON! Loving this phone and don't think I'll ever switch over to the iPhone again. Too many breakdowns on my Apple phones after a few years and I'll always be a loyal Samsung customer after the great service and products they've sold and given to me!
iPhone 12 Pro Max using it about for month and love it i always used android and never used iphone before but this is nice change and i liked it and im sure this phone will last more than any android phone
For some reason I don't prefer to go for high end flagship model on android.. as for iPhone yes I would like to go for the high end flagship phone.. reason is the premium feeling and user experience.. but those freedom which android offers can easily be obtained even on a budget model.. that's my thoughts..
of course, you have a whole apple logo in your pfp.
@@xers8719 exactly
@@xers8719 hes a troll
@@carver9312 am not a troll
....annnnnnnd it’s literally the same exact experience no matter which iPhone model you pick. The only literal difference is materials used. With Android more levels of customization come available the better the phone you buy. Idk even know why I’m bothering... your profile pic says everything.
Note 20 Ultra all day long 🔥
The Note 20 ultra is Awesome. I love your review, helped me make up my mind and bought (2). Thanks again.
Another really good video as usual. I prefer iOS in general and will be upgrading from my iPhone 8 Plus to the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
My note 20 ultra is a laptop a psp a Nintendo ds a Nintendo 64 and a phone with 120hz refresh rate the iPhone is just a phone
Andrew Martin facts
This Is A Great Video! Both Phones Are Fantastic. Thank You For The Great Content.
The contrast and dynamic range on the iPhone murders the Note
I have both but always come back to the iPhone because of battery life, CarPlay and HomeKit. They’re all more polished experiences. I have tried to get everything working in a similar fashion on the Note but it’s been nothing but headaches. I still have the note because it’s a beautiful phone and can’t bring myself to sell it.
The note has a bigger battery life than iphone LMAOO
@@Faevaaplayboi Bigger battery doesn’t mean better battery life! Iphone 12 Pro Max outlasts my Note 20 Ultra by a couple of hours, at least in the manner I use them.
@@pr1me_78you have no idea the settings makes the note much better
I love the Note’s design.
Screens: I've had my iPhone 12 Pro Max 512Gb for 2 weeks now (upgraded from an iPhone 7 Plus). I'm surprised! I don't really notice the difference between them unless I put them side-by-side. Yes the 12pm is a bit brighter (very welcome because the 7p is difficult to see in strong sunlight when taking photos). Side-by-Side, you can tell that the 12pm has slightly warmer tones. I really DON'T notice any difference with the contrast ratios due to OLED! I've never used 120Hz displays and never felt that either of them were slow or laggy. True I don't play games on them so perhaps I'd notice it more if I did.
120hz is very fantastic, 60hz is like 1990 machine. Please change to higher refresh rate, you never comeback to 60hz again.
@@mahesa_mp hz its not everything, im back to 60 hz and no problems, its about preferences, its not like 120 hz is better, its only a visual, not a thing that make a phone better, and the iphone 13 will have 120 hz so thats good
I switched from the Note 10 Plus to the 12 Pro Max. Love the build quality, feeling in the hand of the iPhone, iOS app polish, ecosystem (MacBook user), and camera.
I have the 11 and want to switch but don’t know if it’s worth the switch...
Switched from note 10 plus as well First iPhone ever but so far so good no regrets
@@johnrivera3365 no just stay with 11
@@dontaylor4464 what are you enjoying about it so far? @John Rivera Yeah I’d stay with the 11. Not going to impress you at that level of jump.
Why the switch ?
I want iOS installed on that note 20 lol.
there are launchers that u can install, i mean apps with ios appearence
I can absolutely say, this comment section is one of the least toxic about these two OS. In all honesty, it just depends on what works for you. They both have pros and cons. I have used both platforms (Android mostly) however I do love both. Just simply what works for you. I personally just don't like apple as a company due to some of the decisions they make however their devices are absolutely amazing. Other than that, love both of these. I can understand why the decisions can be tough.
That bezel and notch looks so ancient on the iPhone and I’m an iPhone user.
Funny how the A14 is slower loading graphically rich games, while it loads simple graphically unchallenging games faster than the Samsung.
The A14 is actually faster in both those categories, but it starts to struggle after some time due to throttling since it’s not as good as the Note 20 Ultra for long durations of gaming. A14 is undeniably faster in loading games and in audio/video production; just not so much for 3-5hrs continuous gaming ( high end games like Genshin Impact ). Note 20 Ultra is much better overall in gaming while the iPhone is better in productivity, with the cameras they are pretty much tied ( except for the videography since iPhone is better ). The almost notchless display of the Note 20 Ultra is an eye catcher though👀
@@betterleper714 you lost me when you said that the iPhone is better for productivity. That’s clearly not the case
@@jhmpt32 how so?
@@jhmpt32 iPhones have GarageBand which is a great app for music production, great cameras with proraw and raw formats for photography, great mics for vlogging and great cameras for videography. They also have the a14 bionic chip which allows for a lightning fast conversion and processing of videos and music stuff, and they can easily be used together with MacBooks or iPads which will skyrocket their productivity level even more. Not to mention how crazy good their speakers are lmao🤣
@@jhmpt32 how is it clearly not the case now?
watching this on my note 20 ultra
I love the note phones. But androids always have the video too long, Unable to send. Issues with pictures or videos looking like crap from iOS to android.
Unless you’re using a custom ROM on Android you can wave goodbye to your privacy.
But on an Apple phone you don't even have the option, your just accepting the loss of your privacy
@@jb_4563 no. Apple is already implementing even more privacy as they were already ahead of android by miles.
I don't care about privacy.
@@therealestmc85 for real, privacy this privacy that I mean I have nothing to hide
Custom roms ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm a college student and I have so many things to do with my notes so the s pen is very essetial for me and its a big benefit for me so I choose the note 20 although i have galaxy note 10 plus , afterall thank you . I really like your videos
Hi...does the note 20 ultra have any charge light indicator....or any light indicator at all? To the top left of my S7 has a indicator light that lights up red when charging and goes green when fully charged.....
dang that screen on the note looks so so much better that iphone is a joke in 2021.
Aaron, I have the apple 12 pro and the s20fe. I too wish apple would adopt some if not more Android features. My entire family has iOS so I’m kinda stuck because I don’t want to be odd man out. Enjoy your videos.
Awesome man, I was pretty torn on what to choose because I’ve been with iPhone my whole life. I think I’m giving Android a shot with the note 20, that 120 hrtz display sounds so nice. Thanks for your hard work in this videos brother :)
If u tried it, is it good?
A week ago I upgraded my phone. I really wanted the iPhone 12 Pro Max but I had to pay like $650 and then every month a fee of $100 for 12 months, so it was simply too much money. I went for a Note20 Ultra which had a discount of $500 and I just payed $200 initially. I miss my iPhone 11 Pro Max but I love the Note, it's an amazing phone even with the Exynos chipset.
Exynos.. ew
I generally like Samsung products and this looks to be a really cool phone. My challenge is that Apple products communicate seamlessly with each other.
Loved the video as always may you do one for the iPhone 11 vs Samsung galaxy note 9 would love to see the differences 🤩
There is a trick to use 120htz on power saving mode with the ultra and allows 2 days battery life 👌👌
I think the note 20 ultra camera looks more natural
I've bought into the Apple ecosystem. Though I'm not totally reliant on it. I could easily switch back to Android and not miss a beat. What got me into Apple devices a few years ago was the reputation of "It just works". Unfortunately, and this is just my opinion, is that Apple has fallen flat on delivering a near-flawless experience. I've participated in many of the beta releases over the last 2+ years. It's good to see many things get fixed. Yet I can't help to feel disappointed that some fundamental features of a smartphone continue to be plagued by the same issues over and over again. When on a public release update, I should not have UI stuttering or freezing. Keyboard should never be slow. These are basic and it's a mystery why, with so many years of experience and software development, these problems persist. Build quality has always be admirable. Not necessarily the best, but always the top 3 phones made every year. I wish they would just spend an entire year refining and truly fixing issues. The every other year of iOS that gets mentioned as years when they focus on software quality, I feel is not necessarily happening.
Zollotech I love your videos always very informative and deep into all specs of each phone, I had been a Samsung Note fan for 13 years but when the iPhone 12 max pro came out I decided to try it and ended up falling in love with it and the Watech series 6 so awesome, my husband still has Samsung galaxy 20 ultra plus....1700 for it vs same price for iPhone 12 max pro and the watch.... I still have Samsung Tab S7 plus tablet that I love so I have both to use if I want but I have come to liking the iPhone way more, do I want iPad pro sure but it would not make sense to me when I have the Tab S 7 plus not going to go and buy 1000 ipad and not use my Tab S7 plus that was 900 lol. Thank you again for a outstanding review!!
I would give some advantages to the note because of the 120hz display and the s pen
Planning switching to 12 Pro Max from Galaxy Note 10 Plus as my first ever iPhone 🙂 ... skipping S21 Ultra ...
Sacrifice: Vanced TH-cam, Cinema HD, Gboard voice typing, 'go back' navigation, pulling down notification panel, comprehensive file manager etc ...😥
Looking forward to: reliable day to day photos and videos, genuine clean os, 5 years of software support, sturdy build with flat screen and steel frame (hate curved screen 😤)
I prefer: battery over 120hz, ease of use over customisations, consistent camera over zooom & fun features.
But still I fear being enslaved by IOS ☹️
If you understand the S-Pen no other phone will do
Plus great video
All these apple fanboys in the comment section 😐
So I got the note 20 ultra and I have to say, if the s21 and beyond are as good as this, I will never touch an apple phone again
Glad to be watching this on my iPhone 12 Pro Max
Me too but I’m thinking to sell it and buy 20 ultra
I have tried both for a game called genshin impact and the iPhone heats up like a oven and brightness goes all the way down and the note seems to keep its cool
