With my current OP8 pro, it's a night and day difference.
Never going back to pedestrian 60hz ever again!

If you don't believe me, Almost every unbiased reviewer in 2020 including this site during their iPhone 12 review has mentioned about iPhone being not that smooth compared to Android phones with 120hz display and above.
Have you even experienced 240hz touch sampling rate or lowest response times on Android flagships?

      Then where all these new iPhone users are coming? from the space? :D What other choice there is than most of them coming from android?

          Anonymous, 24 Nov 2020You are jealous that iPhone doesn't have HRR. So you ... moreWhat is it will this jealousy thing? Are you really so simple that you believe an iPhone user that ‘craved’ HRR so much, wouldn’t simply get an android?

          No the truth is that iOS users might desire such a feature on a future iPhone, but are quite content to wait, It’s only one feature after all. Such people who are quite happy with iOS would at present need to sacrifice a plethora of other features that drew them to the platform in the first place just so they could scroll slightly smoother on an android device.

          I am an iPhone user right now. Had HRR been the be all and end all for me I would have picked an android that featured it. After all, if I can afford an iPhone then the vast majority of androids are also an option for me. It just isn’t that important.

          So jealous? nah, Will leave that kind of thinking to simple minded drones.

              cherry, 22 Nov 2020Nah, my S20 5G stays on 120hz, it is crazy smooth. My S20 FE 5G stays on 60Hz all the time. Tried 120Hz but is pointless. At 60Hz the battery life is very good. And right, you're just the minority who cares about 120Hz.

              Do I care? 90Hz is enough. 60Hz is passable if the color balance is great. Besides iPhone screen supports DCI-P3 color space.

                          So you go to sleep by convincing yourself that Android users must be dialing it down to 60hz to conserve battery. In reality, it's the iPhone with garbage battery life for a ancient 60hz display.

On a large screen, the iPhone produces better color balance than Xiaomi. DxOMark has become a shill site for Chinese brands, in my experience, so I don't consider it reliable any longer.

My phone is dancing around my fellow college Iphone 12 pro I am better in so many ways. And don't talk me performance and speed. L@@k at 512gb/12gb oppo find x2 pro (my phone) benchmarks first. They tell the true. This phone is flying no matter what you do on it. Write a message, play game, listen to background youtube on my airpods pro(best compact Bluetooth headphones, best smartwatch is apple watch I got it too, but Iphone-nowhere near the best phones)

                                ***(oh sorry apple don't have background youtube), or all together at once.

                                But as you (almost said it) iphone is best phone. YES rofl :)

                                  Anonymous, 24 Nov 20205g, lidar sensor and performancelidar is for depth scanning for better photos. where are these better photos? nobody even google can't find the better 12 pro max photos compared to 12 pro. Also compared to 11 pro max they are like 97% the same :)

                                  marketing trick?

                                  wait, future AR needs? People change their phones once a year. What future AR. You pay for something (lidar) you won't need.

                                  Performance? They all the same in all apps, games, UI. Read 11 pro max, 12 pro max. over 95% same speed in real life.

                                  Not same on android. You get real upgrades every year. Even every 6 months.

                                        If u wanna compare with Mi 10 Pro, compare it with smaller 12 Pro (eventhough more expensive). Both scored 120 in DxO. Sure, the processing got a bit more smudgy when compared in lowlight. But in good lighting condition, it surpass 12 Pro with the higher res advantage, big time (no joke). In conclusion, both GSMarena and DxO explaination about the camera details are spot on.

                                        About color saturation, no. Both Xiaomi & Huawei toned down already their colors since 2 years ago. Heck even Mate 20, P30 & Mate 30 series color reproduction are much duller than what an iphone produce. Check back your sources.
