Currently, there are many smartphones with large screens on the market. These are not always flagship solutions. So the release of the Galaxy S20 Ultra was an opportunity to get not only the largest smartphone released by the South Korean manufacturer, but also the most powerful. Apple has its own answer to a similar trend. iPhone 11 Pro Max is also ready to meet the demands of users who love “shovels”. The confrontation between the two flagships can truly be considered heavyweight - both have their advantages and are ready to show their “muscles”.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE vs Apple iPhone 11
report this ad Share Share
Price
- The iPhone 11 starts at $699 for 64GB of storage and ends at $849 for 256GB of storage, with the 128GB variant available for $749.
- The Galaxy S20 only comes with 128GB and costs $999, a $350 difference over the iPhone 11.
This price gap may make many people shy away from Samsung, but there are some good reasons why the extra cost is worth it.
Apple is also offering the 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro for $999 and the 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max for $1,099. Likewise, there are two other, larger versions of the Galaxy S20: the 6.7-inch Galaxy S20 Plus for $1,199 and the 6.9-inch Galaxy S20 Ultra for $1,399.
Housing and dimensions
iPhone 11 Pro, from RUB 89,990.
Here are the dimensions of all compared models:
iPhone 11 Pro : 144 x 71.4 x 8.1 mm and 188 g. iPhone 11 Pro Max : 158 x 77.8 x 8.1 mm and 226 g. Galaxy S20 : 151.7 x 69.1 x 7. 9 mm, 163 g. Galaxy S20+ : 161.9 × 73.7 × 7.8 mm, 186 g.
As you can see, Samsung devices have a more elongated body, but at the same time they are narrower, thinner and lighter than their direct competitors.
The narrow horizontal block of cameras from the Galaxy S10 was turned into a massive rectangle, which became extremely similar to its brother in the iPhone.
Samsung smartphones have a proprietary narrow side frame, to which the front and back panels flow. Design elements are typical and recognizable for the Galaxy line.
At the start of sales, three colors will be available: blue, gray and red. For the S20+ model, the blue model will be replaced by a black model. On the side, the iPhone 11 Pro has gold, space gray, silver and dark green body colors.
Who has better dimensions: iPhone SE?. It seems that smartphone manufacturers have forgotten how convenient it was to operate gadgets with one hand.
The models have comparable dimensions and there is no obvious winner here. Some are more accustomed to the narrow, elongated body of Samsung, while others are more accustomed to the wider iPhone.
Design
Both phones are the same size : the Galaxy S20 has a 6.2-inch screen, while the iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch display. However, the Galaxy S20's punch-hole means the screen appears much larger than the notched one on the iPhone 11; Visually, the camera is less intrusive and does not interfere when watching videos or playing games.
On the back, both phones have a large camera bump in the top left corner but are designed in a different manner. Apple has made the camera bump blend into the body of the phone, making it the same color as the phone's body, while Samsung has painted the inside of the bump black so you can't miss the rear sensors.
iPhone 11 is available in six colors , including classic white and black, as well as vibrant green, yellow, purple and red. The Galaxy S20 is available in three colors: pink, blue and grey.
Gloomy sky, gray houses. Or yellow?
In this frame, in one case, the sky turned out to be not overexposed and you can even see clouds in it, but the color of the walls of the house is upsetting - it is not so yellow.
Another shot is the opposite: the sky was brightened to absolutely white, but the colors of the walls turned out natural. I can't decide which shot is better. And you?
Display
The Galaxy S20 features an OLED display, while the iPhone 11 does without an LCD display. Therefore, the brightness of the Samsung phone is 857 nits, the brightness of the iPhone 11 is 652 nits, which makes the S20 easier to use in bright light and a better option for watching video content.
Another benefit of the S20 is its 120Hz refresh rate, which makes videos play smoother and scrolling feels different from the iPhone's 60Hz screen. This 120Hz mode will unfortunately be turned off to save battery life, but having this option is still a point in favor of the S20.
Cameras
The cameras are where the S20 starts to justify its cost.
- On the back of the S20 there is a 12-megapixel primary sensor, a 64-megapixel 3x telephoto zoom sensor, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor.
- The iPhone 11 offers a 12-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera - meaning that while it matches the quality of the S20's regular and wide-angle photos, it can't compete equally for zoom shots.
The iPhone 11 uses a single 12-megapixel selfie camera. The camera on the S20 is 10 megapixel.
The S20's additional telephoto camera is a bonus, but judging overall quality and features like Night and Portrait mode means the iPhone comes out ahead.
The water circles turned out great. Again the problem is in color
The difference is also obvious in this pair of photos. White or yellow. Which shade do you like best? The image quality is excellent on both flagships, but one decided to generously add yellowness.
Although, I prefer the yellow version. It is not so sterile and evokes emotions, albeit negative ones (stupid rain!).
Performance
In our benchmark tests, the S20 processor scored 3,147 on the Geekbench 5 multi-core test, while the iPhone 11 scored 3,251. The gap widened on the graphics test, with the S20 scoring 1,319 frames (21 fps) on the GFXBench Aztec Ruins Vulkan off-screen test, and the iPhone scoring 1,481 frames (23 fps).
In terms of speed, Apple processors have long surpassed the Qualcomm processors used by Samsung. The S20 still has the powerful Snapdragon 865 processor, as well as more RAM.
Apple's ability to design not only the A13 Bionic processor from the ground up, but also the operating system means that its optimization and high-performance processor processing power are ahead of Samsung's anyway.
Cool white or natural yellowish
The first couple of pictures immediately determines the character of each smartphone in terms of photography. Just look at the shades of tree bark: the difference between the two frame post-processing algorithms is obvious.
Although, it cannot be said that one photo is worse than another. Rather, each frame has its own mood, and that is why here and in the future I am interested in your choice of the best photograph according to perception.
RAM and storage
Samsung provides 12GB of RAM with the S20, which is much more than the iPhone 's 4GB . More RAM is better, but since both phones run different operating systems and processors, the performance difference isn't significant.
The Galaxy S20 only comes with 128GB. The iPhone is available with the same amount of storage, but also in 64GB and 256GB. However, the S20 supports microSD cards, allowing you to expand the storage capacity up to 1TB.
Additional chips
Apart from the difference between Android and iOS systems, these mobile phones have cool features. Read more about them below.
Both smartphones have fast and wireless charging. They live with energy briskly, the problem of disconnection disappears by itself. They have eSIM, which is convenient: you don’t need to carry 2 SIM cards in your mobile phone at once.
The Samsung S20 Ultra provides 5G support: although this network is not yet available in Ukraine, it can already be tested in Europe.
Samsung's main unlocking method is an in-screen fingerprint scanner. iPhone has FaceID.

Battery
The iPhone's battery capacity is 3,110 mAh, while the S20's is 4,000 mAh, meaning it should theoretically last longer even with heavy use.
However, after our testing this turned out not to be the case. The battery life of the iPhone 11 was 11 hours and 16 minutes , and the S20 was 9 hours and 31 minutes . The S20 drains in 8 hours and 4 minutes when running at the maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.
5W charger 18W fast charger that Apple sells separately. 25W charger .
Samsung also sells a 45W charger. Both phones are capable of wireless charging.
Accessories like the Galaxy Buds Plus can charge wirelessly too, you can place them on the back of your phone and let them charge from the internal battery, something Apple can't compete with here .
DeX
Samsung
DeX may not be Samsung's most popular product, but the company is pushing it and making it better year after year. And the idea is really good: why overpay for a processor, RAM and other hardware for a PC if you already have a fairly powerful smartphone?
It's highly unlikely that Apple will offer something like this in the future - instead, you're much more likely to be promoted to a new MacBook. But there is no harm in dreaming.
5G
This is another easy win for the Galaxy S20, since the iPhone 11 doesn't support 5G.
We expect the iPhone 12 to be the first Apple phone to support 5G, but for now the S20 is the only one of the two phones that will benefit from the data speeds and reliability that the new network standard offers.
iPhone 11 screen scratched
iPhone 11 gets scratched easily
iPhone 11 users complain that the phone has a poor quality protective glass, which almost immediately becomes covered with scratches after purchase. It’s difficult for me to evaluate this argument, since I haven’t used the iPhone 11 for a long time, but you can believe them. However, it is worth noting that the S20 uses very thin frames and 3D glass, which is very easy to break, but repairing such a screen will not be easy due to the high cost of repairs, so here, I would say, both devices have their own shortcomings.
Conclusion
The iPhone 11 immediately attracts with its lower price, but loses in such characteristics as RAM, battery capacity and charging speed.
Testing of the two phones shows that the iPhone 11 may be the better phone of the two, thanks to its performance, long battery life and better cameras. However, the S20 wins in areas such as a brighter and smoother display, a telephoto camera and 5G connectivity.
But this breakdown of features by category only matters if you don't care whether you use iOS or Android as your operating system. If you're looking to switch from Android to iOS, you'll need to consider the S20's minor shortcomings or less than minor price difference to pass it up in favor of Apple.

Is it worth upgrading from iPhone 11 to Galaxy S20
Technically, the S20 is better than the iPhone 11 in all aspects, but here it is worth understanding that by owning an iPhone, you are part of the Apple ecosystem, which is convenient. In addition, the iPhone has a more optimized operating system, it does not consume a lot of RAM, iOS has smoother animations, it is updated within 4-5 years, which is something no Android device can offer. If you go to Avito, you can understand that old iPhones are more expensive than old Galaxy S, and long-term support plays a significant role in this. A phone with modern software is always more expensive than an outdated solution.
Therefore, technically, it is, of course, possible to offer users better devices, but, in my opinion, I would not switch to the S20 now, because I simply don’t see the point in it. The differences from the S10 are minimal and only concern the improved camera and performance. It seems to me that Samsung, for 70 thousand rubles, needs to offer iPhone and old Galaxy owners something more significant, and not just improved performance.
