I think I read / watched from somewhere that the optical zoom of the periscope lense on the S20 Ultra is only 4x (I might be wrong) ,vs the 5x on the P30. Maybe that's why it's worse at 10x hybrid.

As for the regular S20, apparently their 3x zoom is not truly optical, but digitally cropping into the 64mp sensor! Pretty disingenuous marketing, if you ask me.

I did a quick comparison with my 2x on my s10+, cropped in, vs the 3x on the s20, and results are v similar.

You're right... I saw this thing about the 4x too on YouTube yesterday... Think it was from Danny Winget.

iPhone processor not better, just that their sw is better integrated with hw

It's better. But, you will know why it's better by just looking at it's die size.. Apple is simply packing more transistors for performance. Just because they themself is the customer and no other to tell them to shrink their chip size for tighter integration.

Apple A13: 98.48mm²
Apple A12: 83.27mm²
Snapdragon 855: 73mm²

Your statement about battery life is misleading. The Samsung S20 Ultra is the one with the 5000 mAH battery, not the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

S20U is on android ecosystem.
11PM is on apple ecosystem.

People who like samsung will still buy the S20 series.
People who like apple will still buy the 11 series.

Why bother with one is faster? Just to prove a point here and want others to agree with you? Wait long long.

Did either article compare SOT? Sorry, I must have missed it.

If not, suggest you instead post articles comparing the SOT of the iPhone 11 Pro Max to the Samsung S20 Ultra. That would make better sense since SOT is the basis of your statement that the iPhone's battery life wins the Galaxy.

Thank God that we have other competitors for Android, than just Samsung. If you’re feeling sensible and don’t wanna get owned by them then just look at OnePlus, HW, XM, etc. I really can’t bring myself to buy their S20 Ultra now, knowing that it has 128gb and elsewhere there’s SD865. I mean, if they had a free upgrade to 512gb or something like the Note promotion, I would seriously consider to get it.

But Exynos AND 128gb is definitely if you pardon the expression, a kick to my balls twice!

Sad not say not many choices now. HW is out. No Google services and China brand. Used to have Sony.

the problem is the alternatives aren't much better, that is why sammy can be complacent

HW is half-dead because Android is banned on future devices

1+ is close to stock but has zero physical presence and only enthusiasts will get

Oppo has good camera but OS updates are notoriously lagging behind

XM is value for money but now MIUI 11 cannot remove ads completely unless root

Sony is close to stock but very minimal advertising and presence. Also, phones not aesthetically pleasing

Pixel is stock and with fast updates but hardware sometimes is a miss, like Pixel 4. And no SD slot
