A drop test video from Allstate shows that the screens of all three handsets were cracked after a face-down drop. The rear panels on the Galaxy S21+ and S21 Ultra were also cracked in the test.

YouTubers devised years ago a sort of standard speed test to compare new handsets. Take the brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max and Samsung’s best 2021 flagship, the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra won every speed test by a significant (though not cavernous) margin, completing each benchmark a few seconds faster than the Snapdragon 865 Plus-based Note 20 Ultra.

8:30 am October 4, 2021 By Roland Hutchinson Last week we saw a speed test between the new iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and now we have a battery test between the two devices.

You’ll most likely be happy with the speed of either the Galaxy S21 or iPhone 12. Your choice may boil down to the cameras, your tastes in operating systems, and other harder-to-quantify features.

Portrait mode samples, crop mode: Note20 Ultra • S21 Ultra The wide mode leverages the camera's full resolution potential, and the shots are consequently sharper and more detailed.

As Samsung has done for some time now, the camera specs appear more impressive for the S21+ on paper when comparing to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. But as history has shown, it’s not just about raw specs.

Both the Galaxy S21 and iPhone 13 Pro Max faired pretty well in the drop test For the drop test, both phones were dropped on their backs from about 1.5 meters onto a concrete slab.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with a 3687 mAh battery, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra boasts a larger 5000 mAh battery. Let’s find out how the two handsets compare in terms of battery performance.

Further, the SD888 variant Galaxy S21 Ultra got heated up to 42.7°C by the end of this battery drain test. Notably, this was 2.4°C (36°F) hotter than the Exynos 2100-powered Galaxy S21 Ultra.
