The iPhone is one of the most popular smartphones in the world, but it has many competitors. One of these competitors is Samsung with their newest smartphone lineup – The Galaxy Foldable. This blog post will be looking at some key differences between the two devices to help you decide which device best fits your needs. Key differences between the new iPhone and Foldable Samsung are:
Price
The Galaxy Fold costs more than double at $2000 versus the least expensive model of Apple’s newest phone, which is around $1000.
Size
While both phones have a screen that runs along their entire front side, one major difference is in size. That is, while the Galaxy Fold has a larger screen when it opens up for use. There isn’t much of an increase in physical space for this bigger display compared to other smartphones on the market. And while some may not be bothered by its smaller size due to having no top or bottom. Others will likely want something with either less width or height once they see what else is on the market.
Display
The display of each device will be judged in different ways, depending on what you are looking for. For instance, when both devices are folded up they have a single front screen. Which has roughly an equal ratio to other smartphones within its size range. This means when it’s opened up into tablet mode but there’s no increase in height. However, Samsung does make up for this by having even more vertical space. Since their foldable phone doesn’t need to house components like Apple needs with its own open and shut design.
Camera
Both devices have many cameras to improve the quality of your photos and videos. But one thing that Samsung offers is a fourth rear camera for their Foldable device. Which will allow you to take better zoomed-in shots than Apple’s iPhone.
Both phones offer face recognition as an alternative way to unlock them. Instead of using fingerprints or passwords like other smartphones on the market. However, it seems that due to its sleek design The Galaxy Fold only has two options. Compared with what feels like endless possibilities when looking at how many different ways there are to activate Face ID on iPhones (and iPads). While this may not be such a big deal for everyone though. Some people prefer having more security features available. This is because of the increased chance of someone unlocking their phone without them noticing.
Hardware
The Galaxy Fold is powered by an octa-core system on chip (SoC). Which Samsung says will give better performance while still offering excellent battery life. This means that it should work faster than iPhone XS Max, but you’re only getting a single-core boost. When compared with what Apple’s latest handset has to offer in terms of computing power. Meanwhile, iPhone comes out ahead here because despite having fewer cores. Its new processor doubles the number of ones offered inside Samsung’s device.
One other thing worth mentioning though is that both devices are using almost identical amounts of RAM at 12GB each. So they’ll be equally good for multitasking purposes if you’re a heavy user.
This being said, the key difference between these two phones in terms of hardware is that while Apple’s new model has a bigger battery at over 3400mAh. Samsung has managed to fit one inside their foldable device that is larger than what you would get on an iPad mini. This means it should last longer when compared with iPhone XS Max. Which considering how much more power-efficient Android tends to be because of its open-source nature. It will likely still have better overall endurance despite having smaller capacity cells. In other words, Galaxy Fold could outlast or match your current smartphone. If you are looking for something like this even if they don’t come close to beating most traditional laptops. (Depending on who makes them and how much power they’re packing in).
If you like the idea of adaptable devices and want to take advantage of what each company has to offer. Then it’s worth mentioning that Apple is offering a wider range of iPhones than ever before. Including affordable variants with LCD screens instead of OLED ones found inside their flagship handsets. While Samsung only has one model available. This means there isn’t an option if your budget can’t stretch as far high enough. Or you need something more affordable for other purposes.
The Galaxy Fold does have an advantage because of its larger screen size at seven point two inches. This means it can be more practical for things like watching movies or playing games when compared with iPhone XS Max.
Design
It would seem that some people don’t care about how well a phone looks. since they either put them in cases or find new ones after realizing what makes one better than another. But many want to own aesthetically pleasing phones instead, even if they cost slightly more money. For example, while iPhone XS Max may be a bit more durable since it’s made out of stainless steel and glass. Yet its design is no longer as impressive when compared with Galaxy Fold.
Software
While many people prefer using iOS over Android because it feels more intuitive. Thanks to its touch gestures, some users may want something else. In the case of these two phones, it means that Samsung has a lot more freedom. Because you can download third-party apps from various sources and also switch to another launcher. If you want something else instead, which is great for those who have been using Android-powered devices before. Then iPhone came along but may not be enough reason alone to convince others. Since their device could still suffer from performance issues due to all this extra bloatware.
In contrast, iOS 13 brings with its many new features such as Actionable Notifications. So users can do things like delete files or archive emails without being stuck inside native applications. (Which are generally slow when compared with alternatives). Refreshed Stocks app, improved CarPlay features, and a ton of other things will likely change the way you use your phone forever. Not only has this but Apple been working for years now to make their software as secure as possible. Thanks to improved privacy options, stronger authentication methods. (Such as Face ID, which is more reliable than Samsung’s fingerprint scanner), and new security updates every month. Making it one of the most future-proof smartphones on the market right now.
