This year's iphone 12 and samsung s21 series of are so evenly matched, even in price, I think it just comes down to which operating system you prefer. I just purchased the s21 and love it, but I would have bought the 12 if I preferred ios.

Great video, absolutely spot on with no ‘fanboy’ approach. I have recently moved over to iPhone 12 Pro having been Galaxy owner for many years, I miss a lot of things from Samsung/Android, but I have found that the iOS general running feels smoother. Apple ProRAW has impressed me with its quality but I have to admit the S21 ultra has got my attention (mainly for the camera and zoom ). The only downside I see is the size of the Galaxy s21 ultra, the depreciation in value over a short amount of time and that Europe get exynos chip and slower updates. I would say whether you are using iPhone or Samsung we are very lucky to have such amazing devices. Stay safe 👍🏻
Can I ask what you missed about samsung/android when you used the iphone 12 pro? Im thinking of switching, but the things I will miss are the main things stopping me from making the switch
@@redbean2705 hi, I missed simple things from Samsung such as once you set an alarm it tells you on Lock Screen, the always on display showing you the time as I used that at night as my bedside clock while charging my phone, the side screen function for calculator and other tasks. I also missed that on Samsung the camera was more versatile as it also included manual mode where as on iPhone you have to buy an app to have similar functions. Other aspects of Android I miss were the general day to day things, notification types, swipe down to access quick settings. Android allow more customisation if you like that type of thing (such as nova launcher). On the flip side with Apple I have found that it feels more stable, no apps crash. The way it feels in general day to day use feels good, at first it felt very basic coming from Android. The camera albeit basic, takes amazing photos (but lacks a decent zoom) on point and shoot, Apple ProRAW format produces amazing photos with simple tweaks using stock editor or darkroom/Lightroom. I also find that there are better and more stable apps in the store for apple. Updates come out more frequent on Apple than the delayed one on Samsung for Android. Another big thing for me is that I have a premium feeling phone which is easy to use in one hand and fits in pockets much better. I’m no fanboy and I really do think both have advantages over each other, the s21 ultra looks amazing especially with camera functions/zoom but it’s size put me off. I hope that kinda helps.
Since I've switched from apple, I haven't any intention of switching back. I'm surprised and disheartened to learn that Samsung is following apple's lead with charger-not-included. apple going that route is understandable. Even now, I have lots of apple chargers about; Samsung, not so many. I have been impressed by the android systems and various apps & games. The apps I need are available on both: not the exact same, but similar, anyway. (Grocery list, to do list, notes, social medias, and search engines) Photo & video differences are marginal, and not the most important to me. In conclusion, I'd go Samsung because it's more attractive, and not many people I know have apple any longer.
@@LaidBackDeveloper by 200$ , which apple didn't , tho they also made the display quality a bit worse tho you don't notice it and they did go down to plastic , but I personally prefer the plastic because of durability issues with Glass .
My 12 scratched so bad after a day, I’ve sent it back. Seems to be common with the new iPhones so I’m totally put off, they seem to be inconsistencies with their engineering of the phone. The reason I’m considering the s21 xx
The screen treatment only helps with cracks not scratches. If you don’t like scratches on your screen put on a screen protector lol. Don’t get your panties in a bunch
I saw a display of iPhone's at AT&T. They all were scratched to hell. Samsung had no scratches on their phones and vivid colors. The display and pictures are so washed out on the iPhone
Yes, today I bought iPhone 12 really it's amazing rather than s21 previously I used android this is my first iOS product, I personally face the problem was android the years passed it's got performance issues and camera clarity issues Bt my friend bought I phone 4 yrs ago still it's working good. So I preferred iPhone at this point and thanks for your suggestion and I believe I never feel future why I buy this phone
It kinda bothers me when people say they are the same price because it's technically not. Iphone costs $799 with 64 gigs while s21 with 128 gigs. Now tell me how they are evenly priced
@@maddi2476 technically not, HEIF does a very good job in terms of compressing photos and videos , if you install apps and games 64 gigs won't fit that much, since those are similarly sized lol
Also double the size, won't be overcome by just mere 'optimization' in storage, as a previous iPhone xs user that runs on 256gigs and now having 256gb s21 , I can surely tell there's no difference in my usage
@@maddi2476 I won't ever deny ios incredible optimization but when it comes to storage, it can only help so much. Maybe whatever takes up 70 gigs on an android device, iPhone will do that in 65 gigs but we r talking about double the storage here so my point still stands.
I've always had Samsung and presently I have the Galaxy 10+. Everyone at work has the Apple iPhone so I was curious. After watching your video, I think I will stay with Samsung and get the 21. Thank you!
U can’t beat the S21 Ultra I just love mine & the cameras will 3 x optical zoom & then 10 x optical zoom is just fantastic as I have taking amazing photos of the moon with a mini tripod & im getting 2 & a half days battery, is brilliant.
In the same time I respect apple for ios stronk software and we can't ignore the features are old but polished and refined and carefully designed to the smallest detail like an rolls roice .but not for "inovation" i'm an android user from android kitkat till now an i can say one thing: depends of your tastes and stop judging iphone users "snob" "arogant" an phone doesn't define you, i know great peoples that use iphones and horible persons on android and viceversa
I have a samsung note 10+. I never use the stylus. Considering the iphone for user interface with other products; this review did not address overall use.
Both are good, but I think the choice will be more about the OS and ecosystem you live in as the churn between these two is less than reviewer imply. Over in Europe, Samsung's main competitors are other Android OEMs as we have a more open market than the US, and that means $800 for the s20 is probably $200 more than it should be. Obviously, Samsung fans will not be dissuaded by the cost but the more value-orientated, non-fandom consumer, will probably not get the S20, especially as it is Exynos as well.
Despite having thicker bezels, the iPhone's bezels are more pleasant to look at due to them being uniform. I can't stand that Jay Leno chin that all android phones seemingly come with now.
@@jclg3266 if the notch is all you can find to complain about then your argument is invalid. It has its purpose (secure FACE ID). Androids don’t have the best security when it comes down to comparison. You get that with apple and that’s why they get my money every year.
Idk if anyone know this, but my s21, yes s21 you guys are talking about the 1080p display - and I am very disappointed too because I moved from s10 (1440p) - now not even can watch 1440p but 2160p, beyond my wish, and I can tell I will use this phone for 5-6 years if T-Mobile doesn't have any trade-in promotions 🤣 I'm in love with both phone but s21 was my choice.
This comparison means you don't understand phone users. What people can do with their phones is the most important reason anyone will buy a certain product. Secondly location.
Good job doing this fair and non-biased. I think if people are used to IOS then they'll get iphone. Since I use Android I know I'd be so confused whenever I use an iphone
iPhones are for people who are lazy, ignorant of technology and don't want a great user experience, but instead, want an over-priced status symbol, so that they don't have to work too hard to take pic. Samsung (and Android in general) is for people who want phones with alot a features, good cameras that are more professional, and offer a much better and involved user experience.
@@chination1796 some of these "advanced" features are gimmicky, some half baked, some just added without real utility. I hardly ever used multi window on S20 and S21. I never used palm sliding to take screenshots, used edge panel only for calculator and calender viewing. Liked 120 hz but hated fit of Galaxy buds pro.
That's.. not so simple to say Idk if you have more Apple products they'll work better with iPhones but if not S21 might be better *especially* if you're getting the Snapdragon version (in US, Canada etc) It's down to your preference. iPhone 12 will most probably get 5 iOS updates and S21 will get 3 major Android updates (if Samsung's not gonna increase) anyways which one are you closer to?
I just got my s21 and Samsung didn't even include the power brick i thought I could use the power brick from my note 9 but nope! They also didn't include the transferring data tool so disappointing of Samsung 👎🏽
If you are an apple user since day 1, just buy the iphone 12. If you are an android/samsung user then obviously just get the S21. Both of these aren't really far apart, just different software.
