The battle between iPhone and Samsung has raged on for years, but this year is a bit different from other years of competition, with more new brands entering the phone market and creating greater competition.
Samsungs have various features to offer. For example, the three-camera setup, expandable memory (up to 512GB on new devices), high color contrast display, their new “Power Share” feature, 5G data capability, and the new variety of colors.
The biggest edge that Samsung has now is its ecosystem that pairs with its appliances, tablets, phones, watches, computers, earbuds, computers. The new versions all connect together to create an almost seamless experience.
The iPhone brand also has many features going for it as well. Some of them are three-cam- era layout, a big screen size, its water resistance, 4K recording, 1080p at 60fps recording, and easy to use software and services (such as Apple pay and music).
Both brands seem to have good features but they both have their downsides as well. Sam- sung’s software is more dif cult to use, designers decided to eliminate the audio jack, and — to some customers — the hole punch display is a downside. iPhone has its price point with purchases and repairs, no audio jack, and software is not that flexible and only compatible with iOS.
Both of the companies have a good ecosystem. It’s up to you, the consumer, to see the bene ts and cost and try to pick the one that works best for you. If none work for you, then there’s always the other phone companies to consider.
