Hats off to you for actually choosing a winner. Most reviewers are reluctant to choose and say it’s up you the buyers personal preference. I’m so tired of this take. 👏👏👏
I try to always pick a winner.
his winner to be exact, and i also applaude him for that bc its HIS review not the audience review. ultimately preference is a given
They do it because it comes down to personal preference I personally prefer iPhones that dosen’t mean I hate android phones and I like that there are multiple options
hats off to you too for not spoiling the winner while I read the comments😂
Choose iPhone my guy
I remember being stranded at night in an unfamiliar location and the battery life of my Samsung phone was at 7%
I loved that I could switch my phone to Ultra save mode to use less apps and it gave me 30mins more battery life and with the option to use data and google maps to find my way still using less battery...that's what saved me that night.
For reals idk why but when my galaxy s10 is on the last 5% it lasts a crazy amount of time!
damn my phone will stop function basically at 20/30% xD
definitely gonna get this
@@Mango98219 it's real! I still have a S10+ and the last breath of battery charge is a non-stop usage for all you basics stuffs!
I think Samsung is slowly gaining the reputation with their latest stunning phones and fast software updates..keep going samsung!
I agree.
Google needs to step up. I dunno what the hell they are doing
Same
@@592Johno my boyfriend was all over the pixel... and then he switched to samsung
I think samsung wouldnt win against iPhone, as long as it's software optimalization wasnt as good as IOS, because what's the use of great camera, yet when we want to share it on instagram, or others social media, the picture gets worsen. What's the use of great soc, while after 3 years, it's speed tremendously slower than 5 years old iPhone.

I think software is important when we talk about flagship phones
That intro just made my day so much better. 🤣😂
Miss you too buddy 😉

120hz display is a must-have since I got the S21 now. Could not go back to 60hz. Love it.
Makes a huge difference after you’ve had it.
Especially since I have a 165hz monitor I really wanted a 120hz phone too, and I'm really happy with my s21

@AqUa Turtlez so can the s21 play 4k videos?
@@carlitos.pascua well no its a 1080P display
I have the ultra and you can play 4k videos. But still it's a 2k display you're not actually seeing 4k but it looks amazing nonetheless
This is probably the best comparison between the S21 and the iPhone 12 I've ever watched ! 👍
Just got an S21 (upgrading from an S9), and I just wanted to chime in that honestly 1080p on the S21 looks better than 1440p on the S9.
Can u tell me if you noticed anything that bothered u with the s21?(currently have s8 planning to get s21)
@@fm6460 uh, so far, I honestly wouldn't say so. I was momentarily unnerved by a weird rattling sound I was hearing and was about to RMA, but after a brief bit of research, I discovered it's just from the auto-stabilization system on the camera, it's normal, it's actually intended to move around a little bit so that the motors inside it can stabilize it when the camera app is open.
I would say my only genuine complaint about the phone is that it can get a bit warm, which isn't a unique problem, I just think phone manufacturers should start caring a little more about thermals especially when these devices are used all day everyday in any condition.
It's not fun to feel a burning hot brick in your pocket just because you decided to show a friend a video out in the summer heat.
Other than that, the phone has been really fantastic. The 120hz refresh rate is honestly something I don't think I can live without on any future phone, it makes using older phones feel terrible, the higher refresh rate is so much smoother.
The battery life is not exceptional or surprising, but it is more than enough to last throughout a standard day for me, it only ever dips into something I have to actively think about if I start off the day doing something particularly heavy on it.
@@HyenaFox Thank you for the honest and helpful explanation. You touched on heating problems(one of my pet peeves) and I am really grateful to you now that i know what to expect. Assuming that the heating is mostly on the back of the phone, i hope that a case might cover it.
Again, thank you!!!
@@fm6460 yeah, no problem!
Yeah, the heat is definitely a pet peeve of mine as well, though I think it's comparable on the S21 to really any other phone because I feel like they're all around reasonably equal at handling it.
To be honest though, I wouldn't say the phone gets hot or even really all that warm during standard use. During heavy use it can get warm, but if you're indoors or something, it won't ever really get hot at least in my experience.
The problem is just that obviously, phones don't usually have the space for active cooling of any sort (I,e you can't stick a fan in a phone), so they're a bit like cold-blooded animals in that they're susceptible to the environment. If you use this phone out in direct sunlight for a while, it'll get pretty hot.
@@HyenaFox I see. That actually makes sense. I think I only considered heating due to heavy usage but the environment is also an important factor too. Never had that problem with my s8(3 years old) so I hope the s21 doesn't disappoint.
I look forward to the 120 Hz and the overall camera!!
Thank you again for replying to me, Seth Haycock-Poller, and have a great day!
I've had 5 android phones and 1 iPhone. My whole family has iPhone and are constantly nagging me to get one. So I definitely was contemplating it. Your video helped me decide to stick with Android. Thanks very much!!

What a Review. Best vs video I have seen to date. I just upgraded to the IPhone 12 as a 9 month sober gift to self. Now celebrating 11 months Sober 🎉🎂🥳 Can’t wait till one year 6/12/2020

That intro was the best I’ve seen in a comparison video. Keep it up 😂
Excellent vid and content. So helpful and detailed. Great job, Jon! 👍🏻👌🏻
I love how details you went through on both phones. Really good review!!!
I'm an android user and while watching the photos in the beginning I was about to admit I liked the look from the ones from the left a bit more but at the same time feeling guilty bc I thought those were from the iPhone. Then I realized I was wrong but also right cause I chose the android?!
good for you!
How do you send hi res video to your iPhone folks?? Looking to get into android
@@interestinglass5075 I'll give that a try
@@gruzit2622 thanks for the tip
Same!
I love this video. The way u highlight different sections like camera, display, design is so gooooood
Appreciate you. Thank you.
Believe it or not , a high refresh rate is a dealbreaker for me. No matter how stronger your silicon is, being limited by just how many times your screen can refresh, makes the other phone look smoother than ever.
Once you’ve seen it it’s hard to go back.
I don't understand what this means, really, refresh rate.. Are you saying the iPhone or the Samsung is better because of said refresh rate??
Samsung
@@justanotherhomosapian The refresh rate indicates how often the display can update in one second. ALL Iphones have a refresh rate of 60 times per second (60hz). The Samsung can do 120hz, this is twice as often than the Iphone. This is why almost everything on the Samsung looks much more fluid even if the Iphone have a stronger CPU.
Here is a cookie
You should do that intro type, a series for every "vs video"
Thanks for the comparison Jon! I had to reluctantly part with my faithful partner, the IPhone 8 plus. 3 years of excellent service. My phone carrier kept bugging the heck out of us for a device upgrade. We were given a choice of IPhone 12, and Samsung S21. I gave my wife the iPhone 12, and I took the Samsung in a coin toss. Back to Android for me! So far, this phone has not ceased to amaze me. Her phone is great, do NOT deny that! However, the triple cameras take superb pictures, the UI is buttery smooth, and the battery lasts all day and a half. Yes, this Android phone is silky smooth, and a pleasure to use. Feels strange to be back, to be honest with you. I like the phone, and am willing to learn more about what it can do. All the best!

thank you for this comment it is my favorite on this
I don't know which one to get
If given the choice I would take a telescopic camera over a macro camera any day. My main preferences main camera with wide-angle and a telescopic.
Great video, informative and entertaining. It really helps those were less knowledgeable to make a choice when these type of comparisons are made side-by-side. You are appreciated and have a friend in Columbus Ohio!
me and my mother upgraded to the S21+5G with Bixby assisstant, super fast chargers, and glass coating to help it's already durable screen, I myself have added 2 Clouad save apps to the one that was allready included in it
Very tempted for S21 when I upgrade my current Huawei p30 pro, which has been a superb phone to me and the camera is fantastic on it too.
The removal of the MST in Samsung Pay is almost deal breaking to me, I love that feature and it has saved my butt at times.
Thank you for the review!! Just made me very clear which one I'm gone buy! 😊

@@rieriec.36 can you tell me something about the battery life? and do you have a snapdragon or exynos!
Wow!
That's like traveling from 1960 to 2021
That Samsung Dex tho. Really a game changer! They might not create their own "ecosystem", but they do make Windows their Ecosystem by working closely with Microsoft.
Like they actually had a choice
Well they are working on their ecosystem and could be a huge rival to the apple ecosystem in the future.
@@zimnium1 Yes. Just like when seeing Samsung Gallery (thru the previous Samsung Cloud) are smoothly sync with Microsoft OneDrive, make me believe that Samsung x Microsoft could make a wonderful duo in the future.
S21 series is really doing great job , I'm frustrated the exynous chipset is still behind snap dragon
It's behind, yes, but pretty close to it. The exynos is actually a bit ahead in battery life and in a few games but snapdragon is a bit better for cooling and better in heavier games. IMO not a big enough difference to discard the Samsung for exynos
In my opinion in 5 years exynos will be better than sd . Samsung really improves itself
The gap will probably get less with the S22
@@medicalh7990 The new exynos is matched with AMD RDNA tech, capable of ray-tracing and all of that good stuff... Huge leap for samsung, hope they keep those numbers up
For me it's got to be the S21 and that's not just because I prefer Android.
It's more about the extra versatility of the 3 lens camera and telephoto feature and the general design of the camera module and how it integrates into the phone seamlessly.
Also the display, don't let the lower res 1080p screen sway your decision, that 120hz refresh rate makes the display and user experience silky smooth and far superior.
I was initially sceptical about the lower res display on the s21, I came from the s10 which has a much higher res but side by side my concerns were answered, the difference is so minimal there is no significant difference, you would be hard pressed to notice the difference in everyday use.
I have a recent side by side comparison video s21 v s10 on my channel.
Secondly about the display, I much prefer the subtle pinhole cutout selfie camera than the huge chunk of gouged out slot missing from the display on the iPhone 12, it just looks clunky!
Battery capacity is obviously much better on the s21. Maybe the 120hz refresh rate screen negates any advantage here over the iPhone but that can be switched off.
A lot of the choice is personal preference, for me I prefer the rounded off edges than the flat sides of the iPhone.
There may not be much difference in performance but that extra RAM in the s21 8gb compared to the 6gb in the iPhone makes me sleep a little easier.....
A bit like having a v8 engine in my car rather than an inline 6. 😁
Both fast enough though.
Negative things for me, no charger, this applies to both, when I sold my s10 obviously my old charger went with it, which technically left me without one, luckily my wife has the s20 with a charger, so I can use that, still a little inconvenient though.
No micro sd card slot, that was a big issue for me as I like to have the ability to expand my memory. I had 128gb in my s10 and had a further 128gb memory card in it to store all my photos and video, now I'm back to 128gb which feels like a backward step and quite restricted, I'll have to backup more often, another inconvenience.
Wow this was a really good review
Appreciate you.
Samsung offered me 200 for a trade in (S8 Active) and Apple offered me 50 (SE). Easy choice. Also, 128gb is standard. 64 is criminal.
Apple be like: *What android phones gave you last year we'll give you next year*
And it will be better and less glitchy
Android will prolly be first for most features but apple will always refine it and do it best
It sucks but such is apple, they are slow but when they deliver it works sometimes that it not always but most of the time
@@Humiliated1234 you think really? Samsung did a great job an apply too, but i think Samsung do it better than apple, At Apple, you pay more for the brand than you pay for the device bro 😺😂

Switched to the s21, I love it soo much !! No regrets !!
Top video as always, enjoyed it 👍
The S21 doesn't really have a real telephoto lens. It's just a digital crop that they call hybrid zoom. Only the ultra version has a real optical zoom
Agree on the telephoto. My wife gave me her iPhone 12 as didn't like face ID. I've really missed it Vs my Pixel 4 XL and XS Max (especially for portraits where I feel it helps massively with edge detection).
One of the most comprehensive reviews out there.
Great job.

I get so much compliments on the look of the galaxy s21 (regular). When I pull it out, there's usually someone that'll ask what phone it is.
The battery life is amazing for me. I went from charging my phone almost 3 times a day to only once or 1.5

Great review! Although from watching these reviews ans comparison, I noticed that no one really reviews the in-call microphone performance... or maybe I just haven't seen that video? I just got a brand new s21+ and sadly, it cannot pick up other people's voices in a group setting.... only the people within a meter of the phone. Never had that issue with my older samsung phone.
Switched over from my iPhone 6s which was the best of apple imo. Samsung definitely doesn't disappoint.
I’m thinking about switching from my 6s to.
S21 is much better. Today i compared the S21 to the iPhone 12 pro and everyone liked the photo's on the S21 more... It has an insane camera and 120 hrtz that is very noticable!
@Fraed Jehlar Ortiz for me the s21 takes the better pictutes...
@Fraed Jehlar Ortiz No... pictures are definetely better on the S21. But i agree with the video. They are catching up still. iPhones video is still on it's own league.
This is hands down the absolute best comparison video i have ever seen. Nothing even comes close to this!
That intro had me subed. Nice
In camera test that u told us to choose , I was like ; oh A in better I know It's apple , How they do this...
Then I figure out A was S21 And I was happiest man alive!! :DDDD
That's why blind tests help take out biases, more peole should do them
Remember this is a compressed file on youtube and the images were added in to the video.
Also, it can depend on the screen you watching it on.
But in all fairness, in a blind test (with the real photos0 people go for the brighter photo as proved by Marques over and over again.
I went for A on some and B on others.
However, video, there is no competition between the two.
This S21 is amazing though
I've been with Samsung since the S4 and I'm currently on the S10 but I think this may be the first time I switch to iPhone. The S21 is a beast but I'm realizing more and more I never used my phones to their full potential. I do the bare minimum on mine and don't really customize it outside of using Textra as opposed to Samsung messages and I've never been more than a point and shoot guy with pictures. The only thing potentially stopping me is 120hz refresh rate and how One UI 3.0 lays out notifications.
The s21 is the bare minimum compared to the plus and the ultra with its 100x zoom.
If u are a light user then Samsung a72 5G has these 120hz and OneUI 3.1 ?
My samsung a52 5g has 120hz oled cost £400 iPhone doesn't have this yet haha it's coming on iPhone 13 will cost £1100 at least
Did you switch? I bought the iPhone 13 and was waiting for it to come. Went to the apple store to see the phone in person and the selfie camera was awful! Made me look so bad. I cancelled my order and purchased the s21 instead.
That intro 😆. Definitely subscribing.

Finally a reviewer who isn't afraid to pick a winner instead of just saying it comes down to OS preference.
I picked the "A" as the cleaner, better color, and sharper image on every photo (on my Retina 5K 27" 2017 iMac) except the last portrait where I preferred the skin tone color on the 'B' Made me glad I have an S21 instead of an iPhone!
I was waiting for this 😎
This was actually a well done video. I liked it alot. Was looking for a galaxy S20 FE vs video on there but there wasn't one. Was trying to decide between the 20 FE & the S21. From what I've seen from other videos, S20 FE > S21, S21> Iphone 12, & Iphone 12 > S20 FE. Curious on your take on that Jon.
S20 FE is better than the S21,
S21 is better than the iphone 12,
Iphone 12 is better than the S20 fe? That makes no sense😬
So which one u took and hows the phone. I am confused between s20fe/s21/iphone12/iphone11
They are close, but, the pics seem to be taken at slightly different distances which will scew the pic, a little bit. I'd like to see at same distances. Looks good.
Love the video, good job, but my question is HOW DO YOU USE THAT LAYOUT WITH YOUR APPS ON THE SAMSUNG? Just teasing, but I would like to know...
If this isn't the best VS we have ever seen, then which one is the best?
Woow. What iphone clock widget you got there??? I love that. How is called the app??? Ps: I really enjoy your videos. All of them are well thought and quality content. Thank you 🙏
23 seconds into the video , I had to like as I was immediately hit with humor. Got my attention right away 🙏🏾
Every time my contract is up for renewal I always want to try out the iPhones but I keep going back to Samsungs. I don't know what is maybe it's the widgets and little qwerky things like being able to use any of my mp3 music as a ringtone or alarm. Plus in the UK I've worked in Banks, Charities, Retail, Real Estate and all used Microsoft. At times I've found it really easy to literally use my phone as a flash drive to take work around. With the couple of IPhones I've owned in the past few years I've always felt they were more fashion statements or like expensive jewelry than actually being useful.
Sooo good man!!!

This video really helped me :) thank you
I thought A was Apple until I saw the skin tone. I’m actually pretty surprised. I knew Android could take good pictures but usually they look a little weird next to iPhone pictures. The only things keeping me from going to android is the fact that I’m too lazy to switch, don’t want to spend the money, but mostly because androids have good cameras but when using them in apps they always seem to look funky. My iPhone handles Snapchat well, but my moms galaxy s10 looks pretty low quality, even though her actual camera isn’t that bad, when using Snapchat. And it’s the same for pretty much any app using the camera. I also just like iOS a bit more. I’ve had androids before, and they were definitely cheaper ones that don’t really compare to current phones, but while using other peoples new androids I still just prefer iOS a little more. I do really like the android displays though, and I wish iPhones would take some notes on that, and same for the finger scan. I also take quite a lot of videos, so I like my iPhone taking nice videos. Either way both are good options, but I already have the 11 and don’t plan switching until it’s no longer usable. I also have so many friends and family with iPhones that there’s added benefits with the ways we can communicate or send things that Apple to android can’t do.
4:00 the s21 has a 3x hybrid zoom and 30x digital, it is hybrid because the telephoto lens itself is actually a 64mp 1.2x optical zoom camera and it is cropping to make the 3x zoom at 12mp, this option gives poor results in low light, I can also confirm because I have a s20 and they both carry the same camera hardware. Its the s21 Ultra that had 10x optical zoom*
Is it better than iphone 12 zoom?
@@shmvd The iphone 12 doesnt even have a telephoto lens so yes it is better than the iphone 12s zoom.
@AqUa Turtlez Iphones don't have 10x zoom.
The ultra 100x zoom lens is what makes it a heavy phone
Actually the S21 and S21+ do not have an optical lens.
It's a 64MP 1.1x lens.
In pretty lame terms, zoom is all digital but because it's high mega pixels you are able to have higher quality in bright environments.
Fact that Samsung defaults the zoom to 3x does not make it optical

Great video because he didn't just stick to specs and instead told us his experience.
Really liked your fair and unbiased video
On your thumbnails you usually have the whole camera bump assembly jumping off the phone, why are just the lenses jumping of the S21?
How would you pop out the Samsung camera bump
Because it's just part of the phone's frame.
What irks me the most is there were people saying the fingerprint scanner (particularly on the back of the Google Pixel devices) is more handy than facial unlock. That not because something is new means it's better.
Now, because of a pandemic, and face masks, people are giving fingerprint scanners their deserved respect.
I've had little problems using the facial recognition on the Iphone 12 with a mask. I have found that if I slip my nose out of my mask, it can recognize my face just fine.
Nice video Jon!
Thanks Josh!
Blind tests are good! However, Portrait modes gives away the devices (As of now).
SPOILERS*
2:09: The iPhone 12 doesn't crop for Portrait by default (no zoom lens) (B), whereas the S21 does (A).
2:14: The faux bokeh is artifacting above Jon in (A) and smoothed on (B) above Jon. The greens behind Jon's left arm are nearly in focus, but shouldn't be in (A).
Been swapping between devices for many generations, bokeh errors are more common on Galaxy. BUT its wayyyyy better than it was when portrait debuted on the Note 8, which looked awful compared to the iPhone 7 Plus still to this day.
4k 24fps, there is my decision

@@nimon503 no, im prittty shure 4k 24fps
I'd love a ProMotion display (120Hz variable) that's efficient enough not to have an option to revert to 60Hz. It shouldn't feel like a trade off, just like we don't have an option to drop to 30Hz.
btw that exist on the S21 ( Variable refresh rete )
Yes, but unfortunately, the power usage of that feature (coming from both the chip and the display) has caused samsung (and any other manufacturer so far) to have to offer an option to turn it off. My point is it would be nice if it were released when the confidence exists that you’ll never have to turn it off - just like there’s no option to revert from 60 to 30hz for saving battery life.
The quality of the video bro.....stunning
As much as I’m in the Apple ecosystem I completely agree with you.
@Music Releases What? 😂
@Music Releases This is literally the reason Im not sure if I should switch. I love airdropping haha
@Music Releases same samsung also has like a massive advantage in battery life the iPhone 12 has a 2900 battery and the samsung s21 has a 4000 battery drastic difference
@Music Releases I absolutely agree with you! My wife and I were always airdropping pics all the time. I switched back to Android, and she stayed with iPhone.
Apple doesn't have 120hz oled yet my little galaxy a52 5g does £400 😚
This will be interesting to watch.
It's so impressive to me how good smartphones got. Doesn't matter the company or the price range, you can nearly always get a good phone...
Because the industry has super low variable cost, huge market, and really fast to obsolete (meaning big profit), so they can focus the money on R&D like no other product
5:20 In what way is the iPhone video better? From my testing I prefer s21 in this regard because the iPhone is too high contrast and makes things look too vibrant, it's difficult to get natural looking skin colour. 13:35 - Personally for me the s21's optical fingerprint sensor isn't very reliable compared to Google pixel's sensor on the back, if you do a lot of physical work or have a bit of moisture on your hands, detection fails a lot of the time, you also can't register the tip of your finger which I find more comfortable to use and more reliable.
Great comparison!
Correction : iPhone 12 has 4GB ram. Pro models comes with 6GB ram.
Planning switching to 12 Pro Max from Galaxy Note 10 Plus as my first ever iPhone 🙂 ... skipping S21 Ultra ...
Sacrifice: Vanced RUclips, 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 ☹️
Before ordering the S21 I was looking for an iPhone 12 because currently I am using a XS Max. I've been using it since the past year or so. I used plenty of Samsung phones in the past, the last one was a Samsung S10 Plus. I really like the simplicity of the iPhone, the consistency of the camera. You take it out of your pocket and right away you can take a photo, you don't have to mess with the focus or anything. I hope the S21 will do the same.
I am looking forward to try the 120Hz screen and I will again have a wide angle camera to take photos with.
If I won't like it, I will sell both and buy a 12 Pro Max :))
Thank you for this comparison video. I just wasn't sure if I made the right choice or not.
What did you get if you got the s21 how is it?
@@thomasparsons3166 I got the S21, used it till 2 weeks ago, when I switched to an iPhone 13...I missed the iPhone's simplicity and design. I don't mind that I don't have the 120Hz display, the phone feels snappy with 60 aswell. I am planning to upgrade to 13 Pro in december( maybe to 14 Pro if the design stays the same as the 13 Pro; I like the square edges) The S21 was great, I liked the 120Hz screen and the cameras were great. The battery life was not that great after almost a year of use. After only 5 minutes of unplugging it, it started to decrease to 98%-97%. Samsung needs to work on standby battery life. It doesn't compare to iPhones. I don't have this issue on my iPhone, it can stay at 100% even after couple hours. ( With Wi-fi or 4G On) I hated the fingerprint scanner on it tho. I always apply a glass screen protector on my phones, because I like to keep them as new as possible, because I resell them when I get bored. :) After applying the screen protector I needed to re-register my fingerprints after every couple of weeks, because I was having problems unlocking the phone. If the screen was a bit dirty or oily, the fingerprint scanner wouldn't work. I even registered the same finger multiple times to make it faster. I like the iPhones Face Id more, because you only need to look at it and it unlocks. I know that Samsung has some kind of Face Id aswell, but you cannot use it for payments. Maybe after I get bored of this one I will buy a Samsung again, I like their new design with the matte glass backplate. I wish the S21 had a glass blackplate aswell..
It’s more cinematic to keep the refresh rate of the iPhone screen at 60 like I’d love some motion blur it feels more real
Camera 📷 has never been my reason to upgrade to a new phone.
It might not be but you wouldn't want to buy a phone with a bad camera. So much makes a good phone and the camera is a part of it
@@alpha5124 yeah but if my camera is clear in good
@@evanissinging then what's your reason for upgrade?
@@alpha5124 camera quality isnt the only feature i was just saying
He said the s21 hit the trifecta with screen, speed and camera
