"Their battery is OK - but can't rival the flagship Androids."
Are you those Android users who only look paper specs?
https://youtu.be/KQPt_1URvao Then what happened in this real battery test video? And every other which you can find from YouTube, there's no battery test which iPhone 11 Pro Max haven't won and yet you say it can't rival android flagships, care to explain?
Also about the camera, new iPhones pretty much have best or among best camera in the market and by far best video cam.

Anonymous, 26 Dec 2019what's your point ? oppo a9 was released in the same month ... moreWell Oppo Reno 10x zoom, Ace, and 2 combined can't even beat iPhone 11 alone.
Even S10/Note 10 series aren't in the list.

But it's a surprise no Samsung flagship made to the top 10.

I liked iPhone XR blue one but I didn't have enough money. Now I will go for Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite which is an excellent phone with powerful hardware.

I think iPhone would sell more if they stopped using bargain bin parts and focused on something high-end.
Their cameras are good - but can't rival the flagship Androids. Their battery is OK - but can't rival the flagship Androids. Their wireless charging works - but can't rival the flagship Androids.
And then if iPhone could launch technology first, it'll help. Millions and millions of people were taking wide angle photos and night photos before iPhone got to that point.
And historically they've always been slow, whether 3G or 5ghz WiFi or IP rating or 4K video - you can be sure iPhone was a generation or two behind everything else.

sadh, 26 Dec 2019You can get the XR in NEW for just 549. Some can sell at 50... moreIt's really old wireless charging though.

ishreal, 27 Dec 2019Not even remotely a fact. It can do good in benchmarks big ... moreFully agree with you.
Most iPhone users aren't technical anyhow, and they only really care about the status associated. Whatever Tim tells them, must be true :/
The A12 performs exceptionally well on benchmarks but fails where it matters - actual real world and navigating the phone. The high-end Huaweis from last year running on 'standard' mode where outperforming the A12 in the real world.
But guess where the iPhone users like to focus? Theoretical benchmarks...

Great to see so many Samsung phones on the list, I wonder what's pushing their sales figure so high for their entry models. A combination of good pricing and great brand image, I guess?

You can see it in the tech specs in Apple website 2x2 / 4x4 etc etc.
The speed improves as more antennas are present.

It's a great phone, very well made with an incredible CPU that will take on anything you throw at it. However it has a very poor LTE performance. This phone and the MAX siblings were released during the infamous legal battles with Qualcomm and I'm suspecting that they are equipped with the slower Intel LTE modems. I notice very poor LTE performance compared to my same generation Android counterparts with Qualcomm LTE modems.

A12 Bionic.. no joke man.. No one can rival it.. only flagship class can even come close.
As for the other specs, iOS push it to its limits. While Android hamstring their hardware. 12GB RAM.. defeated by 3GB ram? OR even less? 2900 mah battery defeats 3500 mah?? You need a laptop charger for your phone ROFL.. THE great SHAME.
You think the likes of Huawei, or Samsung want to have Android powering their devices? NO!! They will leave the first chance they have. But they are held back by the app selections. Even Google themselves can't develop new OS.. because yeah.. APPS. Even the great Microsoft.. hamstring by this junk of a OS.
