    Steve, 31 Oct 2020You can't exoect iphone 12 to beat Huawei Mate 40 pro.... moreI just looked at these pics from the reviews here and the iphone has better colors than Huawei. The comments on the snail pics are right, Huawei is all the same green color and the iphone reproduces the colors of the leaves and grass a lot more realistically.

Nobody is talking about your lame phone brand, and that's why you are embarassing yourselves here at an iPhone review?

        Apple, Huawei, Samsung also had this problem.
        In case of Huawei, they said, it was caused by using too much sealer or glue during the assembly process.

        If it was a screen issue, it would have happened to all units.
        This is is why only some batches of these phones have the issue.

          iOS Never Again, 31 Oct 2020No issues here. They were all problems related to a bad ba... moreYeah, problem with phones that sell that many units, sometimes the components have issues as they are being manufactured as such mass and speed

            Bradley Lewis, 31 Oct 2020Yeah I know, I meant that I’ve only had a quick try with on... moreNo issues here.
            They were all problems related to a bad batch.

            Even last year's iPhone 11 pro Max with 60hz had tinting issues on some units.
            Again all boiling down to a bad batch.

            Never had tinting issue on my IPhone 11 pro max nor my OP8 pro.

              iOS Never Again, 31 Oct 2020I clearly said, using 120hz as a daily driver. Yeah I know, I meant that I’ve only had a quick try with one but not had the chance to use one daily but I’m perfectly happy for now using 60 hz. Also as an added note, most 120hz phones have been having issues with the screens anyway like a green tint on the oneplus 8 pro and the s20 phones

                Bradley Lewis, 31 Oct 2020Ok. I have briefly used 120hz but only in a shop where I wa... moreI clearly said, using 120hz as a daily driver.

I have briefly used 120hz but only in a shop where I was comparing to the 90hz pixel and I couldn’t see much on a difference. From using a phone with a 90hz screen as my only phone I truthfully couldn’t tell the difference if it was on 60hz or 90hz so I’m perfectly happy with using 60hz but again that is a personal preference

                    Bradley Lewis, 31 Oct 2020I think my point has come across wrong. I wasn’t trying to ... moreLet me tell you something pal, Once you go and use 120hz as a daily driver, you would never go back to 60hz ever again.
                    It simply feels like a downgrade.

                    There are certain things that define a flagship experience: Premium build quality, All day battery life, Flagship level cameras, cutting edge hardware, great haptic feedback, etc.
                    60hz simply cannot give you a flagship experience despite the underlying display panel of iPhone 12 being good.

                      iOS Never Again, 31 Oct 2020No point arguing with these guys, even in the face of evide... moreI think my point has come across wrong. I wasn’t trying to say the iPhone has great battery. I was trying to say that the battery life is on par with the competition at this size. If you want the best battery the truth is you’ll have to go for a bigger phone whether it’s iPhone or android. I never spoke about the charging or the screen. The charging is abit of a joke, 20w max and you don’t even get a brick in the box. The screen is a weird one because it’s probably one of the best 60hz screens out there and for me that’s fine because I could never see the 90hz of the pixel 4xl that I had previously but I understand why people wouldn’t be happy with that.

                        great phone overall, definitely will order one when available in my country..

                          Android Authority, 31 Oct 2020"How about we just share honest information and opinio... moreNo point arguing with these guys, even in the face of evidence, they'll refuse to accept facts.
                          Most normal people know that iPhone 12/12 Pro is the last 2020 flagship phone one will pick up if battery life is a priority. Combined with the slow charging, it's a disaster nonetheless.

                          The pro Max version will have better battery life though. But then who wants to be stuck on 60hz in 2020? Imagine how outdated it would be if one is using iPhone 12 pro Max with ancient 60hz and 20W charging in year 2022 and beyond.

                            Bradley Lewis, 31 Oct 2020I never said phonearena were android fanboys, I said you we... moreAnd if you want real world tests look at gsmarena reviews of each phone (the website you are currently on) which shows the s20 5g to be worse in every area of the battery test

                              Android Authority, 31 Oct 2020"How about we just share honest information and opinio... moreI never said phonearena were android fanboys, I said you were an android fanboy for quoting the one battery test that backed your argument. Considering I have the iPhone 12 and my friend has the s20 5g I think that my argument is as real life as it can get.

                                Bradley Lewis, 31 Oct 2020Ok just read this properly and you have said that this is f... more"How about we just share honest information and opinions of actual usage since most people looking at these will be wanting to know what the phone is like to people who have used it rather than an android fanboys opinion of an iPhone"

                                So phonearena are Android fanboys just coz the test exposed the iPhone 12 bad battery life against its competitors? The truth is that your lies about S20 having worse battery life than iPhone 12 just got exposed. Next time come up with real-world tests and facts instead of anecdotal evidence which can't be trusted.

                                  Bradley Lewis, 31 Oct 2020Ok just read this properly and you have said that this is f... moreYouTube playback: IPhone 12 = 6hr 38 min; Galaxy S20 = 10hr 20 min.
                                  3d gaming: IPhone 12 = 3hr 1 min; Galaxy S20 = 7hr 43 min.

                                  Is that gap small?
                                  I am the one exaggerating on smallest things to make iPhone look bad???
                                  It's Apple themselves who are making the iPhone 12 look bad by putting smaller battery inside.
                                  On the Pro Max model, for the first time Apple gave big battery to iPhone users and the results were night and day.

                                    Bradley Lewis, 31 Oct 2020Where are you getting these figures from as if you look and... moreOk just read this properly and you have said that this is from phone arena but doesn’t really matter since your just finding the one battery test that supports your argument. People finding the smallest things and exaggerated it to make the iPhone look bad because it’s an iPhone is abit ridiculous. Wait for the 12 pro max before comparing iPhone to the battery champs of android because they are also massive. How about we just share honest information and opinions of actual usage since most people looking at these will be wanting to know what the phone is like to people who have used it rather than an android fanboys opinion of an iPhone

                                      Android Authority, 30 Oct 2020The S20 5g doesn't have worse battery life than this. ... moreWhere are you getting these figures from as if you look and the gsmarena reviews (the website you are on) the s20 5g on 60hz is worse in every area than the iPhone 12. Also just to add to that my friend has the s20 5g and the battery is much worse than my iPhone 12. And yes I know s20 fe has better battery life but it is also a fair bit bigger in all directions and looks a fair bit worse than the rest of s20 line
