{Disarmed} Comparison of the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max against the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Sony Xperia 1 and the best mobiles of the moment
With the presentation of the iPhone 13 mini , iPhone 13 ,iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max the showcase of the highest range of mobile phones of 2021 is completed a little more (in the absence of surely some more), and when this happens the interesting thing is see what the new ones find when they arrive in town. Specifically, we have made a comparison of the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max against their more direct rivals.
They are the two most ambitious Apple phones of the year and to date, introducing some notable improvements without changing too much the design that their predecessors released. With its new processor and the jump to 120 Hz , they are more up to the standards of rivals who have already come armed to the brim so that no one else would overshadow them.
Speaking of these, we have selected the flagships of the main brands and we have put them face to face with the 13 Pro, seeing the following:
- Huawei P50 Pro
- OnePlus 9 Pro
- OPPO Find X3 Pro
- Realme GT
- Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
- Sony Xperia 1 III
- Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra
Design: if something works, don't touch it
The new iPhone was not expected to change those recovered corner edges and the back turns out to be almost a clone of its predecessors. Rear with matte glass and module with gloss (without reflections) and premiere of colors, but yes, the notch is slightly reduced . Not as much as had been thought, but there is a reduction, there is.
At the aesthetic level we will not go into tastes or preferences, but it should be noted that the camera module has a more discreet integration than that of others such as the S21 Ultra or, of course, the Mi 11 Ultra (which integrates a screen), being OPPO the one that makes an approximation in this aspect at the level of discretion, thus differentiating itself from the rest of Android mobiles in its design.
OPPO Find X3 Pro.Of what the Pro Max is champion in this case is in weight . Its 238 grams surpass mastodons as well as that of Samsung and Xiaomi, positioning itself as one of the heaviest mobiles of the moment, however at the volume level it manages to be more compact than the rest.
Another point that continues to uncheck the iPhone aesthetically is the screen . Stoics, they hold their notch when it seems to have disappeared from the high-end of Android and have been relegated to lower ranges to make way for the front cameras with a hole in the screen or, even, under the screen.
In xiaomist.com Mobile From the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 13, this is all that has changed in a yearWith this, they are below the level of use of the screen (around 87% of the front), although without straying too far from the 89% that are around a lot. Nothing curved screen like the OnePlus 9 Pro or the Huawei P50 Pro either, which does not help to gain that "all-screen" feeling that is achieved with it, but there is the benefit that it is usually much more comfortable to use.
OnePlus 9 Pro.In terms of panel specifications, the new iPhones keep the OLED and catch up with many of their rivals with the 120 Hz refresh rate , with the ProMotion setting promising to be something similar to what manufacturers like Samsung incorporate. o OnePlus at the level that the frequency adapts to use in order to lower it and thus reduce energy consumption. The standard Pro incorporates a 6.1-inch panel, which makes it more compact and broadly maintains the characteristics of its twin (a few points less resolution, but with 2 points more pixel density).
In resolution no one beats the most ambitious Xperia at the moment like the one we have selected (4K) and the iPhone is no exception. And in the absence of knowing the data on the touch refresh rate, what they do not compete to win is in pixel density, being below the 500 pixels per inch that many of their rivals reflected here already exceed (the FullHD + of the Realme GT, which fails to give a remarkable density remaining at 408 dpi).
Sony Xperia 1 III.Yield: a new rooster in the henhouse
The Snapdragon 888 , the Snapdragon 888+ , the Exynos 2100 and the Kirin 9000 are now joined by the Apple A15 Bionic . The processor built in 5 nanometers to beat these rivals in operations per second, especially (and according to Apple said) in graphics performance (30% more power than the most powerful models of the competition, they have pointed out). In fact, the iPhone Pro have a more powerful graphics than the non-Pro this time.
The new processor is expected to keep up with its rivalsAs described and by precedents, it is expected that the new processor is at the height of its rivals and does not fall short in the heaviest tasks as we have seen that the rest defend. It remains to be seen how it manages energy consumption and also if all that promised performance and power is transferred to the surface in the form of excess temperature.
Not an official RAM data, although according to GSMArena the two iPhone 13 Pro go up to 8 GB of RAM . If so, Apple would already be touching the figure that we usually see in Android for the upper-middle range (maximum and minimum respectively, normally) and would have added 2 GB of RAM compared to last year's Pro, so they have the ingredients to be face to face with the rivals in this regard and that the benchmarks do not fall short.
There is no battery data, but Apple did talk about improvements in the two models. Specifically 1.5 hours more than the 12 Pro and 2.5 hours more than the 12 Pro Max. According to our analysis, that should be about 23-24 hours on the 13 Pro and 28-29 on the 13 Pro Max , which would exceed the figures of many of the rivals that we place here such as the OnePlus 9 Pro, the Mi 11 Ultra or the S21 Ultra, these two with 5,000 mAh batteries. It will be necessary to see if there is that improvement taking into account that new screen at 120 Hz, something that is usually the reason that the average autonomies go down normally.
Photography: continues the hegemony of 12 megapixels, but everything is enlarged
Apple continues to bet on contained resolutions and moves away from proposals such as 50, 64 or 108 megapixels that are already common in Android. It is not alone in this as Sony, a major manufacturer of mobile camera sensors, also does the same with its flagships.
In xiaomist.com The latest leak on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro reminds us why it is so interesting to increase the size of the sensorApple's approach is to increase the size of the sensor (data that we do not have) and that of the pixel, which in the 13 Pro reaches 1.9 µm (Apple's own record). With this, and with the new sensor-based optical stabilization, the promise is to improve especially night and low light photography.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.In fact, the night mode jumps to all lenses, as it had been in Samsung and other apps. The pixel size is greater than that of the rest of the mobiles that we have reflected here (we do not know the data of the Huawei P50 Pro) speaking of photodiodes not grouped with pixel-binning, but it will be necessary to see if that and that new stabilization win or not in that complex terrain of night photography.
IPhones usually perform very well in video because of the stabilization and realism of the shots. The brand did not seem very given to providing more professional or advanced options such as raw, but this luckily changed and with the 13 also comes ProRes and the cinematic mode . With that, they are closer to proposals such as Sony's, very focused on advanced users, which can help to set the bar high in video with rivals such as the Xperia or the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
