Processing Chips: A13 Bionic Chip Vs HiSilicon Kirin 980/Qualcomm Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9825 chipset

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus has an Exynos 9825 chipset which is based on 7nm process technology. The chipset is one of its kind as it uses extreme ultraviolet lithography technology (EUV).

Verdict:

 In terms of processors, each of the mentioned devices comes with one of its kind chipsets and is said to be efficient in one way or another. As iPhone 11 Pro Max has just launched, we can’t really compare and reach to a conclusion if we talk about processing speed. 

Camera Wars: 

Camera has certainly become one of the most highlighted features of a smartphone.  As it only provides the ease of capturing a photo or video but also makes it accessible always. 

Every year, smartphone companies are trying to top the industry with advanced technology and fast processing camera.

iPhone 11 Pro Max

The iPhone comes with three cameras at the rear. A primary lens with 12MP f/1.8, a 12MP telephoto lens & a 12MP ultra-wide lens. Also, a front camera with a 12MP f/2.2 lens. All the cameras including the front can capture 4K videos at 60 frames per second. 

The back cameras can capture a slo-mo video at 240 frames per second. For the first time, the iPhone comes with a feature to capture slo-mo video (slofie)at 120 frames per second.

With the Deep Fusion feature, you can click detailed images with reduced noise. The night mode feature makes it possible to click photos in a low light background.

 Thus, making  Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max’s camera a great choice to capture videos and stills.

OnePlus 7 Pro

This OnePlus model has a 48MP f/1.6 wide-angle primary lens, an 8 MP f/2.4 telephoto lens along with a 16 MP ultra-wide lens. The front camera of OnePlus 7 Pro is a 16 MP f/2.0 lens. You can shoot 4K videos at 60 frames per second and slo-mo videos upto 480 frames per second.

With Bokeh Video feature, you can adjust blur, add bokeh and other effects to make videos and photos look amazing.

Verdict: 

So, iPhone 11 Pro Max is the best to capture still and videos with reduced noise and extra clarity. Whereas, Huawei P30 Pro & the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus could also be considered for photos.

Battery Life & Fast Charging Adapter:

With all the major smartphones providing a fast charging adapter, it was high time that Apple should introduce it too. 

This year with Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max comes with 3500 mAh along with an 18W fast charging adapter. 

OnePlus Pro has a bigger battery of 4000 mAh battery. Also, it supports 30W Wrap charge which charges your phone within 20 minutes

With 4300 mAh battery, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is leading in battery size. It supports 45W charging as well. 

Huawei P30 Pro is packed with 4200 mAh battery which supports 40W fast charging.

Verdict: 

As a bigger battery size doesn’t indicate a more trustworthy battery backup, the mAh doesn’t define the power of a battery. iPhone predecessors’ being the best for battery life, Apple claimed to provide 5 hours more than battery life than the old ones.

Price: Where Everything Comes Down To Make Final Decision

Well, iPhone doesn’t really fall in the category of economic smartphones and we don’t think it will ever. However, the prices this year are considerably less, given the services and features available with the new iPhone. 

Although it is still pricey when it is compared to OnePlus and other flagship Android smartphones.  

One Plus 7 Pro price starts from $669, Huawei P30 Pro is available with a starting price of $855, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus price starts at $1099, wherein iPhone 11 Pro price starts at $999, iPhone Pro Max starts at $1099. 

Verdict: 

Though, One Plus 7 Pro is the most pocket-friendly among all however, it lacks great qualities such as water and dust resistance. Samsung and Huawei both have great design and body. However,  iPhone 11 Pro Max is a complete package, sturdy body, powerful camera, and exclusive services provided, it can be considered worth paying for.

Sturdiest Body:

With surgical grade stainless steel, iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are claimed to be substantial design and body ever designed for a smartphone. 

A high-polish metal and glass meld seamlessly in Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus give you a smartphone with an impressive and sleek design.
 

With glass design, One Plus 7 Pro has display curves over the edges with an impressive design to provide great viewing experience.

Huawei P30 Pro comes with elegant design with a double 3D curved glass body for great viewing experience.

Verdict: 

Well, all the smartphones are one of its kind with curved glass or high polish metal and more. However, all these designs except iPhone have focused on a great looking phone, but have failed to work on sturdiness. So, with a stainless steel matte finish body, iPhone 11 Pro Max is the best. 

Miscellaneous Features & Services: 

No smartphone in the industry has yet introduced a waterproof phone. However, every year, each one of the flagship phone introduces better resistance than the device’s predecessors. 

This year Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max comes with IP68 rating for dust & water resistance, which means the new iPhone is water-resistant upto 2 minutes & 30 seconds. Spatial audio, Dolby Vision, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, USB 2.0 along with NFC. Along

One Plus 7 Pro comes with no water resistance rating. With Corning Gorilla Glass 5, 5G support, Bluetooth 5.0, dual stereo speakers, under-display fingerprint scanner, Dolby Atmos sound, upgraded screen lock technology, liquid cooling system, Fnatic mode for the uninterrupted gaming experience, and UFS 3.0 storage. 

Huawei P30 Pro has an IP68 water/dust resistance rating, which makes it safe from splashes. Including Dolby Atmos Sound, Face ID, NFC, Reverse Charging, under-display fingerprint scanner, USB 3.1 and Bluetooth 5.0 are some of the exquisite features of this powerful device. 

Along with Samsung Pay, IP68 water/dust resistance rating, 5G support, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, Dolby Atmos/AKG sound, intelligent pen, always-on display, USB 3.1 Type-C connector, Google Assistant and Bixby. 

Every device has some extra features to make them unique yet alike. However, this time Apple has not just introduced its iPhone 11 trio but also is offering services along such Apple Arcade right into the App Store, free Apple TV+ subscription for a year(original and ad-free content), and 3 months Apple Music.

When it comes to services, Samsung provides Spotify subscription for three months, but can’t be compared with the original content promised by Apple TV+.

Verdict: 

Each device in the list has something to offer but with Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, you also get unmatched services and supreme camera quality. So, if you want original content along with great picture and a faster processor.

Sum Up

So, these are some of the specifications and features using which we determined whether iPhone 11 Pro Max will survive the competition against Android flagship smartphones. Well, the new features indicate that iPhone 11 Pro Max has fair chances to survive. However, the rest will be only determined on real-time results once the device will be available on Stores.
