It’s time to compare Apple’s iPhone to the leading Android handsets, and it should be a close race. From the launch of the first folding phone (go.pcworld.com/1fld) to the rise of 5G (go.pcworld.com/ rs5g), dual screens (go.pcworld.com/dual), waterfall displays (go.pcworld.com/wfll), and cameras, cameras, cameras (go.pcworld. com/cmcm), 2019 has delivered a dizzying array of new features. Apple may have surprised everyone with a price cut to its entry-level handset, but can it stack up to the best Android has to offer? Let’s go through the major specs and find out.
THE PHONES
Three phones compete against the iPhone 11 this year:
Samsung Galaxy S10+: I chose this model (go.pcworld.com/nwsm) because it’s cheaper than the official flagship Note 10+. Also, compared to the S10, it’s only $100 more and equipped with a much bigger battery.
Google Pixel 4 XL: The newest Pixel phone (go.pcworld.com/nwpx) has a laundry list of issues, but it’s Google so it gets the nod. Plus it has a better screen and bigger battery than the smaller one.
OnePlus 7T: OnePlus is on a roll. The two phones released in the United States in 2019, the 7 Pro and the 7T, raised expectations for what an affordable model can deliver. The newer 7T (go.pcworld.com/nw7t) offers killer specs and a price that undercuts the iPhone 11’s.
DESIGN
While Samsung pushed design boundaries with an impressive reimagining of the Galaxy S10, the iPhone is starting to feel a little stale. It’s more symmetrical than the other phones here, but the notch, the thickish bezels, and the screen-to-body ratio leave much to be desired. It’s also the thickest of the bunch at 8.3mm.
