Comparison review

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro is just a bit better than the Galaxy S21, getting a 92.8 score against 91.8. Even though the Apple iPhone 12 Pro and the Galaxy S21 were released only a couple months apart, Apple iPhone 12 Pro's body is a little thinner but also a bit heavier. Apple iPhone 12 Pro works with iOS 15.x operating system, and Galaxy S21 counts with Android 11 operating system.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro has a better hardware performance than Galaxy S21, because although it has an inferior number of cores and a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with a 64 bits processing unit. IPhone 12 Pro has a bit sharper screen than Samsung Galaxy S21, because although it has less bright display and a quite smaller display, it also counts with a bit higher pixel count per inch in the display and a little higher resolution of 1170 x 2532px.

The Galaxy S21's memory capacity to install games and applications is very similar to the Apple iPhone 12 Pro one, both have exactly the same 128 GB internal storage capacity. Galaxy S21 shoots clearer videos and photos than Apple iPhone 12 Pro, because although it has a smaller camera aperture which is not recommended for low-light photos, and they both have a camera in the back with a 12 megapixels, the Galaxy S21 also counts with a much better 7680x4320 video quality.

Galaxy S21 features a much longer battery life than Apple iPhone 12 Pro, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity against 2815mAh.

Although Apple iPhone 12 Pro is a better device, it costs more than the Galaxy S21, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy S21. If you prefer to save some money, you can buy the Galaxy S21, letting go some specs and features, but you will get the most out of your budget.
