In fact both are great phones that's why I always say that we're lucky to have such options to choose from.

    but in reality, i personally think the 13 pro max should be the only thing to go with! At least they added a 120hz displays to the 13 pro series!

        Sam799, 21 Oct 2021Well nobody is forcing you to buy a Samsung, if you like it... moreI agree, but for the most part, I personally think your sister's iphone 13 pro max looks better than on the s21, but that doesn't mean the s21 is trash! They both are great flagship smartphones to choose from!

          The only benefit that makes it different is the 120ghz refresh rate other then that's is exactly like the s10 5g of you want to include the 5g that not most of us even have available yet and not having the snapdragon prosser makes it kinda sad special if you playing games and yet you pay the exact same price, they made the note 10 plus charged a 45W just to make all the rest 25W which makes absolutely no sense at all , if Huawei didn't lose Google, I would have never owned a Samsung again

            The processor will heat up the phone even in low signal, in games it heats up ..compared to iphone that never heat up or other snapdragon 888 processors that heats up harder..

            Another failure in processor performance 👏
            Gg Samsung way to go, hapily sinking for korean giant

              S21 ultra is too big screen. I can't even type on that phone. one handed. Too big to hold.

              S20 dumped because overheating issue.

              S21 dumped because overheating issue with downgrade features.

              Now I am with no phone

Or a flat display? Or a plastic back for protection? These are the things that many people actually prefer. And at least with the S21 you won't accidentally get the horrible exynos 990 :/
                Also the display resolution on the S21 is plenty, with 421 ppi, you'll struggle to really see the difference unless you put them side by side.

                  Kydrok, 21 Oct 2021The S21 is overpriced garbage is what it is 1080p, crappy... moreIt's not just Exynos. And you get a cooler design and more compact form factor, which mind you, some would prefer.

                      RandyRiffin, 18 Oct 2021Look, the S20 display isn't better than S21. Yeah it h... moreI know that on S20 you can t have 120hz on 1440p and you cand only have it on 1080p . But at least you have the choice if you whant speed or quality . If i whant to play a game in a great quality 1440p 60hz i can choose that in S20 or play in 1080p 120hz for speed .
                      I had S21 in my hands and S20 , and sure S21 is fast , it moves good, but the screen quality is not quality , you can t have quality on resolution that was top 8 years ago .
                      S21 is just a S20 FE with 8k Video with a price bigger than S20.
                      On S20 you can do everything you can do on S21 , but on S21 you can t do everything you can do on S20.

My sister has an iPhone 13 pro max, I've an S21 but that doesn't mean we hate each other, c'mon these are only God damn phones!!

                            [deleted post]Idk, the virus didn't stop Apple from making better phones
                            I think it has more to do with Samsung trying to get people to buy the most expensive out of the S21s which is the Ultra of course or their hilarious and ridiculous flipping phones

                                  1080p, crappy exynos and no sd card slot
                                  Even the S20 FE is better and cheaper than this lol
                                  I hope the S22 isn't a disappointment like the S21

As I've said earlier I liked the iPhone 13 & try my hands on it whenever my sister allows me to do so 😄

Although it didn't really show its percentage, so a battery widget could solve the problem!

I have a Samsung watch which pairs beautifully with my s10. I believe that you can also use the watch with iphones but you may not be able to enable all features and I'm not willing to take that chance. At the moment I can use my watch as phone both for receiving and making calls, receiving and sending emails, receiving and sending SMS's, as well as Samsung health and many other features. I'm not sure which ones I would continue to receive with Apple. Having said all of that I am also very happy with my s10 and would be happy to upgrade to an s21 or hopefully s22.
