Design

Galaxy S20

Lets start with design, always one of the key factors in choosing a new smartphone. iPhone 11 maintains the lines of last years model with some changes in the rear, but it is still one of the most elegant and best-built smartphones, thanks to the reduced bezels around the display, the glass back and a steel profile.

Galaxy S20, on the other hand, follows in the footsteps of the Galaxy Note 10 on the front, with reduced frames and a hole inside the display, but perhaps it takes a step back in the rear, where we find a glass panel but a camera design not just graceful, with a black rectangular bump, where the different sensors are placed.

The dimensions are 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm for 194 grams of weight for iPhone 11, and 152 x 68 x 7.9 mm for 164 grams of weight for Galaxy S20.Lighter S20, while the dimensions are substantially the same.

Display

In both cases we are faced with two very good displays, but Samsung has an extra gear thanks to the adoption of an AMOLED display as opposed to the IPS display used on the iPhone. The resolution of the latter is also lower, 828 x 1792 pixels, against the resolution of Samsungs smartphone, 1440 x 3200 pixels.

For lovers of OLED and non-notch displays there is Galaxy S20, while for those who are satisfied with an IPS display with notch there is iPhone 11. Both adopt an excellent display, 6.1 inches on the iPhone 6.2 inches on S20, more resolute on the latter (1440 x 3200 pixels 509 ppi) than the iPhone (828 x 1792 pixels 326 ppi).

Notch or hole?
