iPhone vs Samsung: Which mobile is better for you?

Apple turned the market upside down with the launch of its first iPhone back in 2007, but Samsung soon jumped on the bandwagon of touch screen phones, to the point of setting trends in some aspects. If you are hesitating between one brand or another, don’t worry: both are top, but here I give you some keys so that you can choose the best one for you.

Performance

Both the iPhone and the high-end Samsung Galaxy phones are real planes, although it can be said that the average performance of the iPhone is superior.

A performance that is not necessarily measured in clock frequency, since it is a data that iPhone does not provide, focusing rather on developing its own Bionic chips that are surpassed generation after generation.

Samsung Galaxy processors, for their part, used to be Qualcomm Snapdragon, reliable and fast in general but shared with other brands. On the other hand, for some time now it has been developing its own Exynos, also very fast but towards which due caution must be observed that relatively new technology requires.

Cameras

In general terms, the quality of the cameras integrated into the iPhone has always been maximum, of a truly cinematographic nature. Suffice it to give as an example that some event photographers have put aside their DSLRs to work with iPhone for their photos and videos. 

However, it can be said that the Samsung Galaxy have more versatile cameras. It must be remembered that Samsung was ahead of the iPhone in terms of a variety of lenses, which for many years was limited to integrating a single wide angle. Instead, the South Korean brand soon added a second, third, and even fourth lens, offering ultra-wide, macro, and telephoto in different models. In addition, the possibilities offered by the Galaxy camera software are always very numerous.

Quality/Price Ratio

If the economic factor is decisive for your purchase, then you will probably opt for Samsung. Of course, it has really expensive Galaxy models, especially the most cutting-edge of the latest generation, such as those with a folding screen.

However, its catalog groups models for all budgets, even offering proposals for users of the entry range. On the other hand, everything related to the iPhone has a high price: both its standard and Pro terminals, as well as its accessories.

Operating system

This is one of the most important issues when choosing an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy mobile, since it determines everything. The iPhone is iOS, probably the best operating system in terms of performance and security against threats… but exclusive.

Instead, Samsung Galaxy uses Android (with One UI customization layer), which is an open source operating system.

This makes the Samsung Galaxy more compatible with software and technologies from other manufacturers, since the Android universe is really wide and includes countless brands. Instead, iOS is restricted to the Apple universe only. In general, technology developers launch their products for both iOS and Android, but if they have to choose an operating system to start with, they do it for this second one, since it has more reach in terms of number of users.

In any case, the variety of apps and technologies for iPhone is very large, despite its exclusivity… although that is precisely what many iPhone users like.

Design

However, the great value of Apple in terms of design cannot be denied: it had the merit of launching the model that has ended up establishing itself as hegemonic, the iPhone with terminals without keys and completely tactile, with clean and fluid lines. , even in ranges with a retro character such as the X.

Therefore, it can be said that one of the keys to the success of the iPhone is precisely its iconic and extremely elegant designs.

After sale service

With regard to after-sales service, Samsung is in principle more accessible to contact: it is easy to find its different channels, which include email, live chat, local rate telephone during office hours and even sign language service.

Apple, for its part, has a more automated contact process but, once the process begins, its efforts are usually very effective.

Conclusion: iPhone or Samsung?

Choosing between iPhone or Samsung is a difficult decision that is often made for subjective and personal reasons.

iPhone is wrapped in an aura of exclusivity and premium design that Samsung does not have , and its performance is always impeccable.

In the case of Samsung Galaxy, the compatibility of its operating system and the wide variety of models in its catalog play in its favor , which in practice offers models for users on a moderate budget and for top-of-the-range lovers. Of course: when you make the decision, try to be 100% sure, since it will take you down one path (iOS) or another (Android), which is later difficult to retrace.
