With Marshal Mdeza:<\/p>\n
Do you have United States dollars spare on a smartphone and you are wondering which is the best flagship smartphone on the market? I have three for you to choose from. The bigger-than life 6.5 inches iPhone XS Max, the 6.4 inches curved-screen Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus or the gorgeous crystal-finish front curved 6.47 inches display Huawei P30 Pro.<\/p>\n
All these phones are water and dust resistant.<\/p>\n
You can submerge them into a 1.5 metres-deep pool for thirty minutes and they will come out unscathed. The display and the back are wrapped with Gorilla Glass and the edges have a metallic finish. The display is crisp-clear OLED.<\/p>\n
iPhone XS Max is a prince from the USA electronic monarchy, Apple and is the biggest. There is more in a name. Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus has an amazing screen quality; the Republic of Samsung (as it is called in South Korea), is it not a maker and supplier of quality smartphone displays?<\/p>\n
Never mind Donald Trump\u2019s dislike for Huawei, P30 Pro has the best quality cameras (three at the back and one selfie). The crystal finish and curved display makes it a winner of a beauty pageant against Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and iPhone XS Max.<\/p>\n
The life cycles of these top-range smartphones is 12 months. After that period, other versions will emerge that will trash these erstwhile kings leaving you with a void to yearn for yet another gadget. What shall we call all this? Perhaps money in the pocket chasing digital solutions. Or to be more biblically correct; it is all vanity. Or is it not?<\/p>\n
While the toughed Gorilla Glass adds beauty to the almost bezel-less displays of these top class smartphones, most users use phone pouches and screen protectors on their phones that unmask the beauty. So, what is the point?<\/p>\n
Bezel-less displays are amazing. You reclaim screen estate. But it is not that much; it is not perhaps proportional to the increase in price as a result of its addition.<\/p>\n
The reason why most smartphones have bezels is because the screens are LCD and not OLED. If truth be told, LCD is cheaper and is good enough for most people.<\/p>\n
Both Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and Huawei P30 Pro have generous memory (RAM) capacities between 8 GB to 12 GB. Amazingly, iPhone XS Max has only 4 GB but does not suffer from application speed limitations. This means that while more RAM makes apps run faster, it can suffer from the law of diminishing marginal returns.<\/p>\n
Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus can pack as much as 1 TB storage while iPhone XS Max maxes at 512 GB and so is the Huawei P30 Pro. Who needs that much storage in this free cloud-storage era?<\/p>\n
Talk about standard, Wide angle, ultra-wide angle and telephoto cameras at the back and portrait and standard selfie cameras at the front; who needs them?<\/p>\n
Perchance professional photographers for which most of us are not. The morale of this story is not that premium phones are bad. No. All I am saying is that first ask yourself why you need a smartphone before asking which phone you need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
