what's up guys i'm Ben from authentech and this is 40 pros and cons of the new
galaxy s20 versus the iphone 11 pro now I've been using the S20 since it first
arrived that was about four weeks ago but before that I was a daily iPhone
user back when they released in September so that's five plus months now
is the as 20 good enough to switch me off of the iPhone back into the Android
light well in today's video we're gonna find out hit that thumbs up for the
YouTube algorithm and let's jump right in I bought both of these phones with my
own money let's just start rattling them off beginning with the pros of the S 20
number one it has USB type-c like the rest of the world come on Apple the
iPhone is still stuck with the Lightning number two it feels great in hand it's a
little bit less in width so it's easier to navigate with the thumb number three
it's lighter weight and it feels much lighter in hand especially over the
iPhone 11 Pro I'll take a lighter cheaper and more durable phone over a
heavy glass breakable sandwich like an iPhone any day of the week number four I
appreciate there's a little screen protector included on the s20 and even
though it's plastic and kind of cheap it's a nice gesture and I know plenty of
people out there will leave it on to help prevent some simple scratches like
keys in the pocket and the purse number five one UI - it's the worst naming
scheme ever but it feels great so far has this fresh interface over iPhone
tons of advanced features in the settings plenty of quick toggle panels
up here add remove or a reorder and a few other tweaks I always like to apply
on a fresh Android we go to font size make it tiny screen zoom tiny screen
resolution well normally I Jack it all the way up but here on the s20 number
six we have a hundred and twenty Hertz display which means the resolution needs
to be brought down a little bit to full HD plus but it's still plenty sharp in
my opinion and then we unlock the 120 Hertz which feels so sweet
now funny side story when I first set up the s20 I was telling myself stick with
this 60 Hertz for as long as you could see if I could really tell the
difference well I could only last about 30 minutes and sweet Moses when I
switched to over you could definitely feel the difference between 60 Hertz
which the iPhone has versus the one it makes interacting with your device
much more realistic and tactile and enjoyable and I honestly can't imagine
not every major flagship in the near future having a high refresh rate
display number seven on another setting I always like to modify unlock developer
options scroll way down then switch all three of these animation scales to 0.5 X
or even turn them off if you'd like in short this basically makes every
single little animation and flicker your phone feel so much faster and snappier
than before when we compare to the iPhone sure iOS is fluid and smooth but
just too slow for my taste and I wish we could speed it up number eight is face
unlock now sure on the s20 it's less secure but it's much faster than the
iPhones face ID which I find unless I'm looking at it from that perfect angle it
doesn't always work so yes I'll take the faster unlock on this xx number nine
there's a fingerprint reader under the screen which is very awesome to have now
to be honest on my s20 I find it pretty inconsistent and sort of slow to read
what about you guys number ten there's different lock types
on my iPhone about a hundred times a day when my face ID doesn't work I have to
punch in my numeric keypad lock which is just slow and kind of clunky but here on
the s20 I can turn on the pattern unlock which feels a lot more fluid and faster
than a PIN pad number eleven smart unlock is super nice it automatically
keeps your phone unlocked in certain situations like when I'm connected to a
certain Bluetooth device or a home geolocation no need to keep entering my
password over and over again which saves me time number twelve always-on display
it's very convenient to have for glanceable information like time and
date and no there's no screen burnin there's pixel shift to prevent this
number thirteen speaking of the display Samsung makes beautiful displays and the
s20 is bright vibrant and gorgeous looking now don't forget to Apple use
this Samsung panels in its iPhone screens number fourteen pixel density
think of it like screen resolution and is better and tighter on the s20 for
example you can fit much more on the screen over the iphone so here's a quick
example of pixel density if we go to let's say
verge calm look at just how much more we're able to squeeze on the s20 screen
there's another two articles down here we're on Instagram rebel to see some of
the Commons already forming on here nothing on the iPhone and another small
example on my Instagram profile make sure you follow me if not already at
shrinky you can see we can see this whole third row down here whereas it's
keen cropped way off now don't get me wrong the display on iphone still looks
very very good but the s20 has some advantages number fifteen screen the
body ratio just look at the two screens side-by-side and the s 20s is pushing
all the way out on all four edges iPhone is feeling slightly outdated and man
that notch at the top is gigantic compared to the tiny camera cutout on
the s20 number sixteen I gotta mention it Samsung finally removed most of those
curved edges on the s20 and I'm loving it it's much easier to type and tap
things on the edges less accidental hits and positives all around for me number
17 that keyboard and typing experience feels much better now both the default
Samsung keyboard and Swift key which I've been using for many years now has a
ton more features on the Android than their iPhone app like floating keyboard
resizing I find that I can tap faster and more accurate on the Android now
quick example under settings layout and keys long press duration default is four
hundred or something I always bring it down to about 200 milliseconds again
iPhone doesn't have this and I'm not sure why
number 18 volume control feels better it's like we can get a little bit
quieter than the iPhone but it can definitely get a lot louder as well
number 19 the stereo sound is sounding better on the s20 as well it feels a lot
more full sounding I was watching this gaming video on YouTube the other day
and I could literally hear the gunshots coming from the left side grenade
explosions from the right the iPhone that I don't get that same feeling
number 20 the buttons feel a lot click here over the iPhone number 21 even the
stock dialer app is nicer only one tap for speakerphone none of those two taps
on the iPhone number 22 the built-in Samsung screen
order is nicer we can include just media sound or media and microphone plus we
can turn on a selfie video camera even annotation tools included number 23 same
with screenshot tool includes more functionality like auto scroll down to
capture long web pages with crop mode at Auto crops off the very top and bottom
OS navigation bars super genius and such a sweet little touch number 24 when I
click a youtube link in Google Hangouts it opens in a lower panel split-screen
it's very easy to resize a great little touch let's jump into the camera realm
and I already shot a dedicated camera comparison tests of the s20 vs. iPhone
11 Pro check it out in case you missed it but this short list is more in
regards to the camera app and the features which I didn't include there
number 25 there's a fantastic amount of tweaking under the camera hood and I've
missed it so dearly on the iPhone example I can turn on HEV C for video
but keep it off for photos to keep them in JPEGs which keeps the compatibility
better for websites like Craigslist it won't even read my iPhone hei C photos
number 26 not only is a selfie cam quality looking really good but I love
this little selfie timer animation around the camera cut up it's this
genius little touch of clever app design reminding you where to look while giving
you a visual cue of the countdown timer number 27 I can keep recording a video
clip while switching between the front and back cameras number 28 I can pause a
video clip mid recording wait for my kids to do that funny thing again and
then hit resume recording to keep it all in one video clip rather than a mess of
multiple video files number 29 double tap the power button to quick launch
camera app again I use this one probably like 5 or 10 times every day number 30
there's pro photo and pro video mode which again includes manual ISO aperture
white balance shutter and even focus with focus peaking now one major
negative I found in the Profoto boat we can't utilize that crazy 64 megapixel
sensor major bummer number 31 I think I prefer the Samsung
gallery app as well over the iPhone and a couple
examples here check out this gallery as twenty app if we hit play video the
timeline scrubbing is super smooth here on the horizontal on the left side we
can bring brightness down or all the way up on the right side is volume all the
way down or volume up super cool here's just a few more camera items I don't
think a lot of people even know about number thirty-two the s20 has a
sixty-four megapixel sensor that can shoot a resolution of 92 48 by 69 36 it
looks quite impressive when zooming it number 33 we can shoot photos in RAW DNG
which is perfect for more professional editing control number 34 we can record
video up to 8k in resolution now sure it has plenty of shortcomings but it's nice
to have and I'm sure some people might find it useful
number 35 shooting ultra slow motion at 960 fps iPhone is maxed out at 240 one
quarter of the speed so now let's focus on some of the cons of this 20 and I
told you I'm being honest here no phone is perfect and there's plenty of things
I'm really missing from my iPhone 11 pro number 36 the s 20 can only record 4k 60
video on the rear primary lens it's not available on the ultra wide or that
hybrid telephoto however the iPhone can accomplish this on all three lenses
number 37 while on the note of those three lenses when recording a video and
sliding through the lenses the transition seems to be a lot smoother on
the iPhone while the s20 sort of looks pretty abrupt and jerky sometimes number
38 I prefer the screen brightness slider on the iPhone feels more ergonomic in my
opinion going vertical over horizontal like on Android number 39 the iPhone
feels a little bit better at ambient light sensitivity auto adjust seen the
screen brightness whether you're in a dark or super bright space number 40
apps are often better designed and developed for iOS a small and simple
example when I got my smart ember mug that Bluetooth connection worked all the
time with my iPhone when I switched it over to my Android I had plenty of
connectivity issues and I know I'm not alone in this
so there's 40 pros and cons of the S 20 versus the iPhone 11 pro there's
see I left out like airdrop on iphone is one of my favorite features and I'm
gonna miss it dearly what are your favorite features or tips and tricks of
iPhone or Android let me know down in the comments thanks so much for watching
