it's a call a product Pro a company is
implicitly saying that its devices made
for professionals an ideal solution to
help you get certain things done better
than you could with others the thing is
if you've spent the last couple of years
with an iPad pro you'll know that
Apple's definition of pro seems to vary
originally it was the Apple pencil which
separated the pro from the amateur a
direct bow to the samsung galaxy note
that kept believing in a feature that
Steve Jobs once mocked the irony is that
Samsung has never really called its Note
a pro even if it advertises it as made
for professionals so is there's only one
way to know which one is the right kind
of pro for you I'm hi I'm Evan R with
PocketNow and this is iPhone 11 Pro vs.
samsung galaxy note 10
[Music]
the most common question that I get in
the comments is which devices might say
the driver and it's usually the same
answer it's whatever small iPhone is out
plus whatever galaxy notice out this
time and for this particular comparison
because we have a smaller galaxy note
alright decided to make this comparison
fair mainly because both devices are
priced the same so it's always good to
know which variant gives you more bang
for those thousand dollars size-wise
it's quite shocking to see that both
devices aren't really that much
different the galaxy just seems slightly
larger because of its boxy design but
it's actually just 7 millimeters taller
then they're both almost just this wide
and just as thick yet the iPhone is a
crazy 20 grams heavier if you're
wondering why it's most likely got to do
with the stainless steel frame Apple
uses versus the aluminium on the galaxy
note 10 to there finish but the
stainless steel will be more resilient
to a fall than the aluminium though also
more prone to micro scratches when
compared to the latter I have to hand it
to Cupertino for this frosted finish on
the back glass it does a significantly
better job at deterring fingerprints in
the galaxy note 10-4 its class but it
claims to be the strongest available now
we do know that it's made by Corney just
like the Gorilla Glass 6 on the note 10
overall both devices offer great build
quality but I'll give more points to
Apple for its stainless steel now
internals are more of a mixed bag and I
shouldn't even compare them I mean iOS
is not a spec country as Android is
still there are some substantial
differences in what you get for the same
money on either phone aside from the
processor differences for Galaxy Note 10
will give you double the RAM and four
times more storage yes 256 gigabytes
versus a meagre 64 there's also a 13%
larger battery and support for faster
wireless charging everything else from
the IP rating to the Wi-Fi and the
Bluetooth version are all the same thing
is you really don't have to be a spec
head to know that Samsung wins this one
and it's mainly because if you want to
get the same amount of storage on the
iPhone that's an extra 150 dollars now
if you were to fall
little the marketing you'd assume that
apples display is significantly better
see Apple made a huge deal about their
new Pro Display XDR because it can go up
to 1200 nits of brightness and stern
scenarios and has a crazy 2 million to 1
contrast ratio thing is if you want to
know which other device has those exact
same specifications it's actually the
Galaxy Note 10 second makes apples
display I mean they're dynamic AMOLED
was actually the first to provide all
this brightness and contrast and with
the benefit of a larger 6.3 inch canvas
versus 5.8 about the only reason why I
give this one to Apple is because of the
added resolution I actually never
thought that I'd say that I could tell
the difference between 458 PPI and 401
but you actually can if you look closely
the iPhones display just looks sharper
but then there's the feature that the
iPhone just doesn't have and which makes
a note a note and it's the Wacom
digitizer on the display that enables
the S Pen to do its thing and boy is it
important
see stylus input wasn't invented by
Samsung but man have they perfected it
using the s-pen feels like using a
sharpie on a piece of paper and this is
the first time that you don't need a
behemoth of a phone to have it available
to you within the phone's body this
alone is a definite win for Samsung but
then there's also the topic of software
when UI is not necessarily my favorite
user interface but it's really what
makes a note a note
it seems that Samsung did a lot of
homework when it came to how a user
would naturally use a note pad and
mimicked it perfectly with this device
say for example that you want to take a
quick note there's screen off memos you
don't have to even jump within the
application say you want to use
Microsoft OneNote or Microsoft Excel
highlight a few things within your
spreadsheet and point them out you
actually can with this phone want to
have your favorite app combinations on
split window shortcuts that you can
launch from the edge screen you actually
can with a note even if you want it to
have some basic things like widgets on
your screen you can with the Galaxy Note
and sadly you can do absolutely none of
this on iOS surely it's more simplistic
and its approach to software and I know
that there are people that want that but
they
just want a phone to be a phone but I'd
say that these people are actually
missing out Samson just demolishes Apple
when it comes to the added functionality
of the software about the only spot
where I feel that Apple swings back is
in the fact that you have no clue when
Samson will give you a software updates
while apples even offering iOS 13 -
phones that are four years old on the
same day as the new ones and then
there's the case of battery life where
neither of these two phones was designed
to be a battery King since you've got
the choice to grab their larger siblings
still I feel that Apple is doing a
better job at more efficient power
management I also prefer phone calls on
the iPhone but not necessarily because
it sounds better it's just that the
Tufton earpiece on the galaxy makes it
hard for you to find exactly where to
place your ear whereas in the case of
the iPhone the earpiece is exposed
because of the notch so there's really
no confusion here and if we were to
compare biometrics I will admit that I
also prefer Apple's face ID over
Samsung's on display fingerprint scanner
and not because it's better really
Samsung's ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
is just too secure
the problem is it's not as fast as face
ID I'm sure you do have face to unlock
on the galaxy but it's not a secure as
this offering and also keep in mind that
you're not buying either of these phones
for their headphone jacks because there
aren't any and you're not getting any
dongles in either of the boxes now where
the comparison gets heated is once you
make the fight about the cameras in the
past Samsung would just obliterate
iPhones in so many ways but this year
the tables have turned dramatically
Apple has been working hard on its
computational HDR since the iPhone 10s
and it shows in most cases I like the
iPhones choice for more subtle colors
and saturation and the fact that it
doesn't overdo the detail but Samsung
hasn't been sitting in its laurels
either the note 10 in most cases
provides a photo that's just as good or
sometimes slightly better each device
offers the versatility of three focal
lengths for their primary cameras but
this is where things start tipping
towards the iPhone see apple's HDR
tuning has extended to have all three
camera sensors provide the same color
and exposure while the
taxi doesn't always achieve this the
same goes for the ultra-wide where I
feel that Apple handles lens distortion
better than the galaxy both devices have
a night mode but each has its own pros
and cons see the iPhone allows you to
manually time how much low-light
exposure you want but then doesn't offer
a night mode in the ultra wide which is
just ridiculous the galaxy doesn't offer
a time but offers a night mode on all
lenses really the only reason I give
plates the Samsung is mainly because you
have manual controls so you can control
absolutely everything if you really
wanted to and then the same goes for
portrait photos where I do feel that the
iPhone does a better job in skin tones
options and overall results but then the
galaxy at least gives you the option to
completely remove the portrait mode if
you don't like the results after the
fact and this actually goes for both
selfies and portrait shots and since we
already begun talking about selfies I
really can't determine a winner in both
Apple has now adopted a wider angle but
so has Samsung for the last three
generations of galaxy so if anything
I'll say Apple welcome to the ball game
really where the iPhone wins this one is
in video for example both devices are
capable of doing for case selfie video
at 30 frames per second but only the
iPhone can do 4k at 60 with the selfie
camera and if we were to measure
stabilization the iPhone almost seems
like if you're using a gimbal where the
galaxy is good but not as good and it's
the same story with shooting video from
the primary cameras both are capable of
4k of 30 and you can use all three focal
lengths so long as you remain in these
settings now if you wanted to go 4k at
60 only the iPhone can use all three
focal lengths the Galaxy is sadly
limited to the primary camera only and
even if the galaxy is not bad about
stabilization the super steady only
works at 1080p the iPhone on the other
hand doesn't even have a mode the video
looks like if it were stabilized by a
gimbal no matter what focal length you
use
to conclude let me just say that there
was no way that this comparison was not
going to be difficult both devices are
premium offerings and both pull their
own weight when it comes to their
capabilities and what makes them special
the iPhone owns the build quality the
Galaxy owns the specs for the price both
have the best displays in the market and
Samsung owns software thanks to all the
benefits of the s-pen all while the
comparison gets tight in the camera and
where Apple only wins by a tight margin
thanks to its video recording
capabilities so which one to pick this
is one of those moments where I'm glad
that I don't have to I actually carried
both the larger Samsung Galaxy Note n
plus and the iPhone 11 Pro are my two
daily drivers I promise that I'll
declare a winner but let me start by
saying that if you're looking for more
creative work vlogging video photography
and stuff I'd give the iPhone 11 pro a
shot over the galaxy now if you prefer
more of a Productivity device notes
calendar and stuff and sure a little
photography here and there then that's
where the Galaxy Note is best at the
thing is if I only had to pick one and
even if it would be the smaller Galaxy
Note 10
is actually the better buy seriously no
phone should cost $1000 but if I'm
willing to pony up so much money I'd
rather get my money's worth with some
added value with the note 10 you get the
s-pen and four times more storage which
alone are enough to make me wonder why
Apple is still willing to charge so much
for just a better looking phone now
