Battery Life, Storage And Durability
Comparing the battery life of these two phones is a challenge. Apple promises up to 17 hours of video playback for the iPhone 12 Pro. But Samsung doesn’t want to make any promises on battery life for the Galaxy Note 20. Instead, Samsung points to the inclusion of a large battery—with a capacity of 4,300 mAh—as proof of the Note 20’s battery life potential.
For storage, the iPhone 12 Pro offers a choice between 128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB of internal storage. The Galaxy Note 20 is available only with 128 GB of internal storage.
On durability, the iPhone 12 Pro gets a new “Ceramic Shield” material to enhance the durability of its display. The phone also comes with a water resistance rating that covers submersion into a depth of nearly 20 feet for a half hour. The Galaxy Note 20 and S Pen also offer water resistance for as much as a 30-minute plunge, though it’s to a depth of about 5 feet.
