The S20 Vs. the 11 Pro

Both of these phones are popular flagship phones. But which one is better? Well, we’ll talk about that here.

Samsung took a page out of the playbook from Apple, and this is the baseline model.  It is really good, has a huge battery, and it is pretty good.  It has a great camera, probably one of the best in the business.

In the other corner is the iPhone 11 pro, which while it isn’t the smallest phone, it certainly packs a punch and is also the best iPhone out there. It’s got good cameras, a great battery life, and some reliable hardware and software support to make this a contendable competitor.  It also has face IS, one of the benefits to authentication and biometrics.

The S20 does come with a great display, a small O-punch display, the triple rear camera, the 4000 mAh battery, and also built-in 5G.

But, the iPhone 11 pro comes with a great camera array, the typical Apple goodies including AirDrop and iMessage, better battery, stable software after a lot of updates, and of course, secure and reliable face ID for those looking to have that.

But they do come with their cons.  The S20 is the most expensive of these phones, and it costs a pretty penny. If you just recently upgraded, this might not be ideal for you.  The updates are spotty on this too, so it definitely can be a bit of a downside.  It also is pretty big for a phone which is supposed to be small, which may not be a problem but if you have small hands you might struggle.

On the flip side, iOS is still not super customizable, and there’s that big ugly notch that we’re all tired of.  It doesn’t use the USB-C charging, and it isn’t 5G compatible, so it is a bit lackluster in some cases.  

While both of these phones are really good, you may want to look at what you’re planning on using it for before you make a decision.

The camera isn’t as good on the 11 pro as it is on the S20.  S20 is also quite expensive and it comes with all of the bells and whistles, but it doesn’t get a ton of updates.

But at the end of it all, you have to look at these two smartphones as a sign that the times are changing, and those who are on one ecosystem won’t dramatically change to another, unless of course, they’re really just tied of the Apple or Android system.  This also won’t happen if you’re going from one device to another, but it is cool to see leaders drive this forward, creating functional, beautiful, and also some amazing devices.

These are both premium phones too, so another thing to keep in mind. If you did just recently upgrade from an Apple or Android device to another one, and you’re not ready to do it again, then don’t. both of these phones are good sure, but there are still some powerful contenders on the market to look at as well.

Apple SE Vs. the Samsung Galaxy A51

Both of these phones are budget-friendly options when it comes to smartphone options, and they are pretty good. They are mid-range, but it is worth looking into if you’re looking for a premium phone that does a lot of the same stuff as the more expensive options. For those budget-conscious customers, this is a good thing to look into, and here, we’ll discuss which ones will be better for you based on the specs, and for you as a user.

As for design, Samsung has this one in the bag.  They don’t look or feel different. They’re both small, and the SE currently has a 12 MP camera on the back, and a 7 MP one that’s on the front. It does have a physical home button.  It’s good for those who don’t like to have the notch and gestures system. It is constructed with ion-strengthened glass, which is pretty much a type of gorilla glass.

Since the back panel is also glass, this one offers wireless charging, which is one of the plus sides to this one, since the A51 doesn’t include this.  the standard version has a decent amount of storage, but they want both compact natures to this, along with simplicity.

With the A51, it’s a bit larger than the two, and it’s wider and longer, but the display better. It’s also made of gorilla glass, and this one is definitely much more premium until you realize the back is made of plastic.  This does have a much stronger camera, and you can also get expandable storage with this. finally, this one does come with the headphone jack, and asset that the SE doesn’t have with it.

With displays, again Samsung has a much better display. While the SE is pretty sizable, this one definitely doesn’t have the resolution display that the A51 has with it. However, the SE does have those huge bezels that are on the forehead and chin of the device, and it does leave room for the touch ID system, whereas the SE does have a bezel-full display that was seen before. The A51 is expandable to all edges and does look better than the other devices.

What about the performance? This one is easily going to Apple. They put everything in that tiny little A13 bionic chip, the same ones you see in the current flagship phones. So it has fast responsiveness, a long battery life, and camera quality you don’t get anywhere else.  This is great since it offers features without needing to enhance the performance. This is a bit of an overkill though, especially for this kind of phone, but again, that’s ultimately up to you and your discretion on that sort of thing and might be something worth considering on these kinds of phones.

The chip on the A51 is decent. It’s pretty mid-range in terms of this. it does lag and stutter a little bit, but it isn’t that bad.  It definitely is hard to really compare the two, since they are so darn different.

In conclusion, both of these phones are good, but the A51 has a better display, batter, camera options, and while the chip is smaller in this one, it isn’t sacrificing that much performance, and you can get twice the normal storage for less than the SE does. If you want to have a smaller size though, and you want iMessage, SE might be the better option, but both are good phones.
