Pixel 4 XL Vs. Samsung Galaxy S20+: Which should you buy

The latest by Samsung – the Galaxy S20 series – is out now. The flagship was announced at Galaxy Unpacked 2020. We can completely understand your dilemma since Google Pixel 4 XL has entered the market almost at the same time. So, which one is better overall? There are plenty of factors to consider here, including the camera, performance, and more.

Design and Display

The Galaxy S20 has rounded edges and a sleek build featuring glass. While the S20 features very slim bezels, the phone supports relatively larger bezels, especially at the top for selfie lens and face-sensing tech. Regardless of the XL size of Pixel, the S20 Plus has the larger screen at 6.7-inches. With regards to sharpness and clarity, both of them stand at pretty much the same place. Both of them have glass bodies and an IP68-rating for dust and water-resistance.

Pixel 4 XL

Performance and Battery

The Galaxy S20 Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 865 while Pixel 4 XL runs on Snapdragon 855. The former is naturally more powerful and faster as well. The S20’s processor is accompanied by 12GB of RAM whereas the Pixel has only 6GB RAM. With storage, the S20 offers 128GB with external 512GB. Pixel, on the other hand, only has 128GB of storage and no MicroSD card slot. The 4,500mAh battery on the Galaxy S20 Plus was welcomed quite enthusiastically while Pixel 4 XL only has a 3,700mAh. Although it is a good enough capacity, one would only be able to use it for a day or so before needing to charge it up again.

Camera

Samsung has done a good job with S20’s camera. The Galaxy S20 Plus camera features a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, 64-megapixel telephoto lens, 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a time-of-flight depth-sensing lens. Its stunning Space Zoom feature comes with 30x hybrid zoom and A.I. stabilization. Additionally, there’s support for 8K videos. Coming to the Pixel phone, its dual 12-megapixel and 16-megapixel telephoto lenses are no less. Google’s Night Sight is second to none and lets you take gorgeous photos, regardless of what time of the day or night it is. Truly speaking, there is no real competition between Samsung and Google in this factor since both of them perform excellently.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus

Software and Updates

The Galaxy S20 Plus features Android 10 with Samsung’s One UI 2.0 software. It is not too bad since it comes with tons of additional features and different customization elements. Pixel 4 XL features Pixel-specific Android 10 software. However, there’s not a lot that is different. While there is no denying that they are different, they both perform well and offer a good experience. If you are waiting for the Android 11 update, the Pixel 4 XL will receive it sooner than the Samsung’s S20 Plus.

Wrapping Up: Samsung Galaxy S20+ vs. Pixel 4 XL

While the Google Pixel 4 XL is an awesome phone in many aspects, it does have some drawbacks. Samsung S20 Plus features these drawbacks as its strengths. The S20 Plus has unbelievably thin bezels, a better battery, and excellent performance. While the Pixel is priced lesser than the S20, most users would be happy to spend a bit more to get better features.

Apple Folding Phone Patent Is A Problem That Samsung Should Have Solved Years Ago

As many of the Android phone builders are trying to build up a folded phone. But many people are waiting eagerly for Apple to join the race. There are many prototype folding phones that Apple has come up with but not yet launched in the market.

The Folding Phone Patent

The folding phone patent was titled “Electronic devices with flexible displays and hinges”. It explains how to prevent one of the most common issues of a folding phone. This issue is the creases on the screen when you fold the phone.

Apple understands the value of proper tablets. So, they don’t have to come up with a folding phone that turns into an iPad mini. Apple sells many tablets each year, therefore, it doesn’t have to make such kind of a change by any means.

The patent seems to imply that Apple has come up with a solution to this. It states that an electronic device can have a flexible display that can be overlapped. A binding kind of mechanism is there to keep an adequate distance between the two portions of the device.

This helps to ensure flexibility in the display. Apple is aiming towards the reduction of stress from the display when it is in its folded form. This results in a reduction of creases on the screen too.

Samsung’s Plans For Folded Screen Phones

Samsung was in a position of making a folding phone. Samsung makes one of the best Android phones with the best display. They offer you the best Android tablet any other company could offer.

Since nobody wants to buy Android tablets these days, Samsung has come up with the next best idea. It will be building a phone that folds into a tablet at those times you want it to be like that.

Apple’s plan seems to be towards bending the display on the outer side in order to change the radius of the curve by allowing it more space for bending. This helps in maintaining a proper bend between the two parts of the mobile phone. There would be no creases visible after applying this mechanism.

An Ugly Display Can Ruin Any Device

The thing is very clear that Samsung is planning of making more such phones in the future, as they keep developing the ideas until it reaches perfection. This is something Samsung does very well.

But, there’s an idea that Samsung can steal from Apple. The idea is that they can get more into building a device with a single fold display without having an ugly and creasy center.

Apple Registers A Patent At Every Opportunity

We just cannot forget that Apple is a company that never fails to file a patent in any possible opportunity it gets. There are many patents that Apple comes up with resulting in a few to reach in the market. If Apple decides to launch a foldable iPhone in the future, there is no surety that it would be a successful launch.

Huawei P30 Pro Resolution

With speakers at the bottom, both the phones deliver a decent sound output. Unlike the Huawei P30 Pro, the OnePlus 7T has a secondary speaker just above the display. Both the devices also support Dolby Atmos audio.

Price

Conclusion: Huawei P30 Pro Vs OnePlus 7T

While the OnePlus 7T boasts of a shaper and a more extensive screen presence, the Huawei P30 Pro has a massive battery capacity along with a wireless charging feature. Also, the camera on the Huawei counterpart is way better than the one in OnePlus.

But, if you look at the pricing, the OnePlus 7T is a much better pick given the features being much the same except a few misses.
