[deleted post]This review is only for the Indian market.

I'm still waiting for TechTablets iPhone 12 Pro full review. He did publish a camera comparison against the Mi 10U and OP8T in YT though.

    Anonymous, 30 Oct 2020Whether it's a 'environmental' thing, or an ... moreThe difference here is Apple has said "all Apple users should already have a charger..." and ships the iPhone 12 with type c lightning charger... the most expensive Apple charger is 20w. The standard charger that came with the s10 and s20 range was 25w. Its not a comparison you can make without sounding silly at the price range Apple goes off on.
    Whether samsung copies Apple or not, Apple is lying.
    If samsung did it, and said the same things, the difference is:
    Samsung wouldn't be lying.

      ++ Just purchased iPhone 12 | 128 GB | Blue
      ++ It is light - i have had an S8 for the last 3 years
      ++ It definitely feels like a properly priced phone. It is more expensive than in reality but it compensates with the brand name
      ++ I have not tested battery life
      ++ I missed the "square" Edges.
      ++ Camera looks good and 4k videos seem interesting.

      If battery holds on, i will definitely give it 10/10

      Simple, good photos, beautiful phone


      PUT IT IN A COVER AND SCREEN PROTECTOR

        Ur mom, 29 Oct 2020Literally the note 20 ultra had a worse battery than the 12... moreFirst of all, Note 20 ultra has better endurance rating than iPhone 12 while having higher resolution or when running 120hz refresh rate. Check Gsmarena review for the same.

        Secondly, How can you compare Note 20 ultra to IPhone 12?
        They aren't even in the same category.

        IPhone 12 competes with Galaxy S20 FE, Mi 10T Pro, OnePlus 8T, Xperia 5 II.

        They have better endurance rating than iPhone 12 while operating at 120hz. Endurance rating gets even better at 60hz.
        Let's have a look at endurance rating for each of them.


        Galaxy S20 FE - 110hr/118hr
        Xperia 5 II - 102hr/110hr
        OnePlus 8T - 104hr/ ?
        Mi 10T Pro - 118hr/ ?
        IPhone 12 - 84hr

        And no user cares about battery efficiency (that Apple pulled out of a small battery) if they are having to beg for a charger within 2-3hrs.

          Now, am I 'telling people to be ok' with whatever battery life, or am I suggesting people may of their own accord find it either good, acceptable or lacking based on their own perspective??

            I was simply replying to the guy who is telling people to be okay with mediocrity in the battery department.

                Ry, 30 Oct 2020No charger and headphones and this is a con? If you need th... moreWhether it's a 'environmental' thing, or an outright con is down to individual perspective.

                What's certain is that now Apple has set the precedent, you will quickly see the Android OEM's follow suit.

                If there are Android fans out there currently raking Apple over the coal's for this decision, they had better get ready to eat a great big sandwich of their own words when their favourite Android maker shortly starts doing the exact same thing.

                  Android.Master, 29 Oct 2020Battery is weak. End of conversation. Comparisons with las... moreYou selling these things or something??? cause if not dude you need to lay off the kool-aide a bit!

                  Look, my point is this, you may consider Android your master or some such.....thing, but to others there are benefits to another choice. You opinions or choices are not superior the theirs.

                  The simple fact of the matter is the iPhone 12 is going to sell like hot cakes irregardless of whatever Android.Master thinks, and those customers are going to be perfectly happy with their decision, and again that's going to be irregardless of what Android.Master thinks.

                  Is it the perfect phone, no, are there things even hardcore IOS fans would change if given the choice, yes. But, it will work for them, and it will achieve sales figures and (if the last 10 years running are any indication) customer satisfaction ratings that Android OEM's can only look upon with envy.

                    Why are android lackies always go to an iphone review and spew out rubbish glorifying their preferred phone brand? Is it just because no one wants to talk about the tumbleweed android phones longer than two days after their launch dates? I don't know...

                      Precisely my point, it makes no sense for you. But the factors you mentioned and the conclusion you've drawn about them might not matter to the next person.

                      Like I said, you do you. You want to be obsessed with the Mate 40 fine, go nuts over it. The next person though might not care, and that also is fine.

                        It's the batterylife alone for which I cancelled the preorder. Reduction of battery capacity from 11 series is the dumbest decision Apple has taken that no one asked for.

                        Sad..

                            im happy it have improve but we need to talk about the 2850 mAh battery bc 5G feature and the new chip will swallow it like a cupcake and does adding 2W in the charger from previous 11 will solve it ???????

                                I'm quite sick of American observers and reviewers gloating over the fact that it does not include any Google services. I can't wait for the US to implode after the coming election.

Otherwise it has the best camera, the fastest charging available in the EU, the best gaming capability going into the future thanks to a 5nm chipset+HRR, and good connectivity including an IR blaster.

                                  It makes no sense to me to mark the iphone 12 to almost the same degree as the Mate 40 Pro, especially since, once you match the storage, they're about the same price.

                                    I don't believe that it's comfortable to hold. I've seen articles about people complaining they got cuts and bruises from holding iphone 12.
                                    They ditched this design with introduction of iphone 6 and marketed loudly how the rounded edges are much more comfortable to hold, and that was true.
                                    This new design is a step backwards.
