In a race to produce the fanciest and most popular smartphone, Apple and Samsung have brought us one essential question: Which smartphone is best? One of the easiest ways to figure out how the latest iPhone 11 and Samsung Galaxy S20 fare is to compare them side by side. Unfortunately, consumers do not have the expendable income to buy both the iPhone 11 and the Galaxy S20 to form their final opinion on which smartphone is queen of the market. Now worries! When comparing the iPhone 11 and the Galaxy 20, it's wise to look at battery life, camera upgrades, storage, and, of course, price. Both the iPhone 11 and the Samsung Galaxy S20 are the most affordable options for each brand’s debut line of phones, and they both clock in at around $1,000. When it comes to the models of each line, it's best to stick with the basics, which offer plenty of impressive features without needing to spend even more. Read on to find out how these two smartphones compare.
First, let's start with the Samsung Galaxy S20. Going straight from the S10 to the S20, Samsung surprised everyone with a new flagship model to compete neck and neck with the iPhone 11. One of the most notable changes for the Galaxy S20 is the major camera upgrades, with three rear cameras including a 64 megapixel telephoto camera, and wide-angle 12-megapixel camera, and ultra-wide 12 megapixel cameras. The Galaxy S20 has an outstanding 120hz refresh rate, which allows for smoother scrolling, gaming, and all-around display motion. This smartphone comes with 128GB storage (though storage is expandable) and a choice between 8GB and 12GB RAM. The Galaxy S20 is available in the attractive and tendy colors, like gray, blue, and pink.
The iPhone 11 is safe and comfortable in its own innovations. This smartphone model also provides major camera improvements, with two 12-megapixel rear cameras, a wide-angle and an ultra-wide, and new night and slofie (slo-mo selfie) modes. The iPhone 11 has a lower 60hz refresh rate, which is only half of that of the Galaxy S20. This smartphone allows users to choose from 64, 128, and 256GB storage but only comes with 4GB RAM. The iPhone 11 also comes in exciting new colors, including purple, yellow, green, white, black, and red, along with the classic black and silver.
Both phones come with high speed charging, have similar display sizes, much improved battery life, and IP68 water resistance. When it comes right down to it, the Samsung Galaxy S20 trumps the iPhone 11 in performance, camera upgrades, and customizability. However, the iPhone 11 is more affordable and device performance and camera capabilities are more than enough to satisfy most phone users. Not sure which one to choose?
