Check on hardware Well, as a mobile user you are aware of the importance of hardware in any gadget. In the case of Apple and Samsung, both brands are similar in terms of performance, but Samsung goes a further ahead in other criteria. Such as the display on the S20+ is much better than the iPhone 11. Also, you get the advantage of a bigger display, more RAM, and more storage on the Galaxy S20+. The Galaxy S20 Plus seems to be in sync with the most popular smartphones launched this year, while the iPhone 11 looks more like a phone from 2018. Consider longevity While considering between iOS and Android, it is more to do with preference. Even as Apple offers much better software support in the long run compared to Samsung or any Android device for that matter. Here we are looking at stable updates for four to five years. Eying the camera Most importantly, one of the critical factors while choosing a phone remains a ‘camera’. If you consider flexibility, then Samsung assumes an edge with the addition of a telephoto camera over the main and ultrawide lenses. In fact, the front camera performance is also among the best in the category. Also, Galaxy S20 Plus offers better camera hardware even as Apple excels at the job with camera software. It offers a better quality on the video front, but the new hardware and the addition of a telephoto camera offer Samsung an edge over the other. WATCH | iPhone12 is equipped with these features
