Hate it or love it, it's hard to deny that the iPhone has a huge influence on all other phones: Apple comes up with a notch, and the others follow; Apple starts using face recognition and the others implement it in their phones too; Apple incorporates a new gesture navigation and you soon start seeing it on Android phones. And while Apple is no stranger to using good ideas from Android phones at times either, it seems that at least in terms of design, Apple leads and the rest follow.Huawei has been one of the companies that not only follow Apple, though. It wants to overtake it. It has already done so in terms of unit sales, but it now wants to one-up the latest iPhone XS series with a contender of its own.The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the first phone to match Apple with a 7nm chip of similar power as the Apple A12 Bionic, it is the first phone to offer fast and reliable 3D face recognition as the iPhone, but then it brings something more to the table with a much larger battery, the … [Read more...] about Huawei Mate 20 Pro vs Apple iPhone XS Max: first look

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 vs Apple iPhone X

Samsung did it first as it launches its flagship at the beginning of the year, and Apple followed a few months later with the iPhone X. Only the iPhone X wasn’t like other smartphones with bezel-less displays. It had a notch at the top (like the Essential Phone) that cuts into the display, adding an element of distraction in what is otherwise a display with minimal bezels around it.That notch does include Face ID, the most advanced face recognition technology available on a smartphone today, but the ‘Infinity display’ on Samsung’s flagships feels like a better implementation of a bezel-less display. And while the Galaxy S8/S9 and Galaxy Note 8 have more top and bottom bezel compared to the iPhone X, the bezels on the side are much smaller thanks to the curved edges.Elsewhere, though, … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy S9+ vs Apple iPhone X: Side-by-side pictures
