Listen up android bois!
This just goes to show how they would trash anything that doesn't fit with their mindset and praise anything that does with no real evidence.

Though I can't argue against Apple having made a big issue of 5G, they really did, overly so for sure. Mind you, the flip side to that is now that iPhone is 5G you will see carriers taking it far more seriously than when it was exclusively Android.
As for higher refresh and better battery life, yes there are androids that offer either or even both. Evidently though, these factors do not seem to sway opinion towards the android camp.
For instance, to get this better battery life and higher refresh rate, your average IOS user is going to have to part with many of the benefits that attracted them to the platform in the first place, kiss goodbye to level software support they have been used to up till now (latest version of android 6 months or so after it was released anyone.....), a companion smartwatch platform that's actually worth considering, etc.
Sales figures would suggest that while IOS users may secretly desire a longer battery life, and even perhaps a higher refresh screen, they certainly don't seem to want them enough to make the switch.
And that is fine, I highly doubt there would ever be any factor (or a combination of) that would convince you to leave Android for IOS, the same in reverse is true for others.
What should I be impress for this new apple phone. Maybe the bionic a14 5nm. Highest geekbench rating, the rest not so much. Somehow the antutu benchmark just ok still lower than many android phones. Camera still comparable to s20 and mate 40. Battery life sucks. User customization limited. Design not attractive at all same old iphone phones. For the price range it should be the best but I think not worth it.
Anonymous, 29 Oct 2020Apple tell you 12 = 11r = xrLooks like you are right as I have digged deeper into how Apple tries to differentiate the base model vs. Pro model.
So after looking at Anandtech (ppl call it an Apple site, but Anandtech has actually complained to Apple previously), there is a difference in the cooling system Apple uses for regular iPhone 11 vs 11 Pro. Regular iPhone 11 does not have the graphite sheet, but the Pro model uses it. To prove if it's correct, I used it for demanding games. The hot spot is just right under the cameras. Heat doesn't dissipate onto the back glass evenly. Though Notebookcheck said that it's just the Pro model that throttles and not the regular 11, but I'm not sure.
MrWhoseTheBoss has also found out that during the battery test, the Antutu score of the 12 Pro was about 30k higher than the regular 12. I don't think this has anything to do with extra 2GB of RAM.
So yeah, you have a point. Xr=11=12.

They should specify whether 5G was enabled in all reviews. Helps in comparing them with other 4G devices, for example OP7T and OP8T or S10 and S20.

Besides, what I am trying to say is that they made such a huge deal about 5g at the presentation during Apple event only to churn out weak battery life.
Android phones launched this year have 5g with high refresh rate and still have better battery life than iPhone.
Thank you for mentioning lack of Touch ID as a Con!
Apple sure is proud of their new Touch ID on the latest iPad Air. They should have revamped everything and brought this to market on a new iPhone. And it is why I will not buy their newest phone.
I was waiting for this review and u guys just kill it for real,is supposed to be the new super a14 that have to go under stress test like any other chipset,many ppl complaining over heating issues during gaming and u just wrote is flawless,comon gsmarena what is this for real

Or are you honestly trying to suggest that iPhone users have been missing out on some life altering 5G action this past year?
Max, 29 Oct 2020Why I do not see info about sensor size???1/2.6" + 1/3.6"
R & D should have been better spent ie let's consider the notch. Not good enough considering the price . At this price it should not have any flaws. MagSafe not really important yet and it will evolve in time to be better served

There is no way a $700 phone should have a 720p LCD display but many people still bought it. Was it clever marketing, Apple's brand power or did people not really care?

Just because iPhone scored terrible in battery test doesn't mean testing mechanism was changed specially for it.
5g phones have existed for a while now. It's Apple who came late to the party.

T... moreI’ve had an iPhone 12 for a few days now and I can say that It’s an excellent phone with great battery life and a very good screen and the speakers on it are the best I’ve ever heard on any mobile device even better than the 4 speakers on my iPad Pro. It’s very nice to hold and a very handy size to fit in the hand or put in your pocket.

IPhone 12 is laughable in comparison... moreExactly, I tested the iPhone 12 in the shop yesterday and it really did not impress me against my Samsung S20 5G Snapdragon that was for 128GB much cheaper (700Euro vs 890Euro the iPhone). Plus my S20 has 12GB of RAM, no notch that takes valuable screen space, expandable memory for very little money (really important for me since I have thousands of pictures from the last 10 years). One thing to note is that the screen is much better than last year's iPhone 11, actually almost identical to iPhone 12 pro.
MrHong, 29 Oct 2020I think it's more realistic to compare against the 11 Pro. Regular 11 is still using LCD,... moreComparing 12 to 11 is more realistic than 11 Pro. There's a 12 Pro for that. 12 is a successor of 11.
ASUS ROG Phone 3, 29 Oct 202012 Pro Supposed to get 4.5 and 12 Pro Max will get 5.5? Wow !!Pro and Pro Max, both will probably get 4.5. Especially, the Pro Max, in which i think, after a long time, Apple has brought something new..that sensor-shift OIS. Waiting to see how it works on a smartphone.
