Samsung M20 Vs Redmi Note 7

If rumors are to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy M20 and the Redmi Note 7 are gonna be competing against each other with the Redmi note 7′s fully specked out model costing around around ₹14000 and the Samsung Galaxy M20 starting at around ₹13000.

The Specs

So which one should you go for?

Considering that both the phones have almost the same hardware specifications (the 48 mp camera basically takes 12 mp pictures so we can’t really consider that an advantage), the final choice depends upon which software experience you’re comfortable with. 

Personally I like MIUI better than the Experience UI because it is jam packed with useful features and the bloatware can be uninstalled so that isn’t a big issue. Also I use the IR Blaster a lot in my day to day life so that makes more sense.

Also, MIUI 11 was recently announced so expect even more features.

But what about the battery?

The M20 comes with a massive 5000mah battery, Samsung’s biggest battery. However, due to the Type-C port, Redmi Note 7 can offer Quick Charge (Quick Charge 4.0) which makes up for that 4000mah battery, which in itself should easily last you a day

But the Samsung looks better!

This is one area where Samsung defeats Redmi, according to me. While the Redmi feels more premium because of the glass back, the thin bezels and that OnePlus 6t-like water drop notch on the M20 just look a lot better compared to Redmi’s comparatively thick bezels and a not so good looking water-drop notch.

Which one would you prefer?

The iPhone XI?

You might have seen pictures like these surfacing the internet and your first reaction might have been, “What the fuck is that?” 

This image I have here isn’t based on the exact dimensions and the exact specs of the iPhone XI, but it gives us a fair idea as to what the iPhone Xl might look like, in real life. 

Now just to be clear, this is just a design that Apple is considering and they might as well just throw it away, and that brings some relief, however the question still remains, 

Why would Apple even consider such a design? 

Now the main reason behind considering such an ugly design is simple, because Apple wants to do something new, something different, why is that you say? Simple because of the disastrous sales of the iPhone XS, XS MAX and the XR. Especially the XR. The “budget” iPhone that it was, Apple thought that the XR would be the best selling iPhone. But we all know how that went.

But is this really what the consumers want?

I mean yes the consumers do need a major design upgrade to consider purchasing a new generation of iPhones. Like there was really no way to differentiate the iPhone XS and the iPhone X if you didn’t particularly know a lot about the design. So yes this decision kind of makes sense. But again, would people agree to purchase an ugly looking phone? Is that any better?

I don’t want to bash Apple, because the situation they are in now, they need to take some risks. 

But, if rumors are to be believed, Apple is not going to switch to USB-C, neither are we gonna see an in-screen fingerprint scanner. I mean if Apple wants to do something different or something new, this will satisfy a lot of consumers.

So tell me what do you think, will a huge design change but no change in some of the internals satisfy you? Is that enough for you to consider purchasing an iPhone even if it looks ugly?
