While Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra is in a league of its personal by way of {hardware} with the 10x optical periscope zoom, the enormous 5000mAh battery, and the 5nm Snapdragon 888 with built-in 5G modem, it is the S21+ that’s the precise match for Apple’s 2020 flagship, the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
They’d each begin at comparable costs, lack periscope zoom (not that any iPhone can have it quickly), and sport the identical display screen diagonals. Will the Galaxy S21+ be a advantageous match for the
iPhone 12 Pro Max that’s proving an increasing number of fashionable available on the market by the day? Let’s discover out…
Galaxy S21 Plus vs iPhone 12 Pro Max value, colours and storage
- $1199 vs $1099 for 128GB

The
iPhone 12 Pro Max, nevertheless, provides the
hardest Ceramic Shield show cowl glass of any telephone on the market, and is essentially the most waterproof generap objective handset as properly, with the ability to stand up to submergence in as much as the whopping twenty toes of water. Still, we love how Samsung blends the digital camera nook with the edges, making for one elegant and uninterrupted look.

- Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100 vs Apple A14 5nm chipsets
- Integrated vs standalone 5G modem
- 8GB vs 6GB RAM
While Apple has a leg up on the subject of uncooked single core energy of its A14 chipset within the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the Galaxy S21+ has one plain benefit within the chipset realm – it sports activities an built-in 5G modem.
Both Snapdragon 888 and the Qualcomm X60 modem are made on the newest 5nm course of, making certain frugal battery draw in comparison with tack-on 5G modem options just like the one discovered within the 12 Pro Max.
Check out the
S21+ (SM-G996B) vs iPhone 12 Pro Max benchmark scores under – as common, Apple kills it within the single core outcomes, however let’s not neglect that this explicit S21+ model is the worldwide one with Exynos 2100 at 2.2GHz, not the
Snapdragon 888 mannequin that the US is getting. Moreover, the A14 runs at its high 3GHz clock speeds, too.

Galaxy S21 Plus vs iPhone 12 Pro Max digital camera
- 12 MP fundamental sensors
- 64MP crop vs 12 MP telephoto zoom cameras
- 12MP ultrawide-angle cameras
The iPhone 12 Pro Max ships with the biggest digital camera sensor that Apple has ever put in a telephone, but its pixels are nonetheless a tad smaller than these in, say, the S20+ fundamental sensoir which can doubtless discover its manner into the S21+ as properly.
We laready famous this in our
Galaxy S21 vs iPhone 12 Pro comparability, however the excessive megapixel rely of the Galaxy S21+ zoom digital camera is nothing to admire, as it is the iPhone 12 Pro Max with the true her true telephoto zoom vary of two.5x. The Galaxy S21+, identical to the
S20+ earlier than it, does not have a periscope or telephoto zoom digital camera.
It merely crops from the high-res 64MP secondary sensor, and Samsung itself admits that what it calls a “telephoto camera” truly sports activities a lens that could be very a lot wide-angle, virtually as vast because the lens on the primary digital camera. The “telephoto” lens solely supplies a 1.06 zoom in comparison with the common digital camera, so all of the zooming is definitely virtually fully based mostly on software program – cropping and merging with the knowledge from the primary and/or ultrawide sensors. The finish outcomes are fairly good anyway, but it surely’s not even a real telephoto to not point out the 10x periscope zoom of the S21 Ultra has.
When it involves video recording, the iPhone 12 Pro Max beats the S21+, due to its highly effective picture processor that lets it report the whopping 60fps Dolby Vision 4K HDR video, and show it on the the iPhone’s huge 6.7″screen in most of its glory. It is 10-bit HDR footage, not 12-bit Dolby Vision but nevertheless an impressive feat to achieve, and a heretofore prerogative of expensive standalone cameras.
On the other hand, the Galaxy S21+ 5nm chipsets are able to pull off 8K video at 30fps, for the rare occassion you need high-def video to watch on your 8K TV. OF course, this one is a pain to upload, watch or edit, but the the same can be said for the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s Dolby Vision output, too.
Galaxy S21 Plus vs iPhone 12 Pro Max battery life and charging speeds
- 4800mAh vs 3617mAh
- 25W (up to 45W) vs 20W wired charging
- 15W wireless charging
Samsung took a note of the surpisignly
robust sales of the middle child in the S20 series, and paid special attention to the S21+, equipping it with a battery nearly as large as the one in the S21 Ultra. At 4800mAh, with the help of the integrated 5nm chipset and 5G modem that is now using a new, more frugal antenna isolation, the pack promises long hours of battery life even at the static 120Hz display refresh mode.
Commensurate with
the iPhone 12 Pro Max endurance at 60Hz, the S21+ battery advantage doesn’t stop here, as Samsung is also providing very fast charging that tops up the 4800mAh battery for about an hour with the stock 25W charger.
Perhaps we should no longer say stock, as
the charger will not be out there within the Galaxy S21+ field at launch however the truth that it prices twice sooner than the iPhone 12 Pro Max with a battery life about as lengthy at increased show refresh charges. Moreover, the 12 Pro Max additionally does not ship with a charger within the field, and also you’d need to shell out for Apple’s new 20W charger if you do not have an previous 18W brick chilling round. Sad instances.
