This comparison is based on leaks and rumors about the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro. The article will be updated with official information once it is available.

Apple has four new iPhones in the pipeline for its October 13 "Hi, Speed" event, and one of these is quite likely to become very popular. The iPhone 12 Pro won't be the most spec'd-out among Apple's new jolly bunch, but it will certainly strike a nice balance between size and features. Generally speaking, the same applies to the SamsungGalaxy S20, which doesn't usually get the same amount of attention as the Galaxy S20 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra, but is the most affordable Samsung flagship on sale now.

iPhone 12 Pro vs Galaxy S20: Price

• Apple iPhone 12 Pro: $999
• Galaxy S20: $999

While the Galaxy S20 officially sells for $999, but can often be found much cheaper as part of regular promotions, the new iPhone 12 Pro is also expected to start at the $1000 barrier.

Neither the iPhone 12 Pro nor the Galaxy S20 are the most affordable in their respective lineups: the iPhone 12 mini and the Galaxy S20 FE are more affordable, but you will have to make compromises with certain aspects.

iPhone 12 Pro

Apple iPhone 12 Pro vs Galaxy S20:

• Apple iPhone 12 Pro: 6.1" OLED, 1170 x 2532 pixels
• Galaxy S20: 6.2" Dynamic AMOLED, 1440 x 3200 pixels, 120Hz refresh rate

In terms of display real estate, the iPhone has slightly less real estate than the Galaxy S20. At 6.1 inches, the iPhone 12 Pro slightly falls behind the 6.2" Galaxy, which also has the upper hand in terms of overall display sharpness and has a catchy new feature that the iPhone might not have: 120Hz high refresh rate. By no means should the latter a deal-breaker for potential iPhone buyers, but it's definitely one of the nicer new features to have.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro vs Galaxy S20: Hardware

• Apple iPhone 12 Pro: Apple A14, 6GB RAM
• Galaxy S20: Snapdragon 875, 12GB RAM

The iPhone 12 Pro will be powered by the same chipset that debuted back in September on the new iPad Air - the Apple A14 Bionic, which is built on a 5nm fabrication process. What does the latter mean? Thanks to the 5nm process, the A14 Bionic offers excellent performance with better power efficiency. Judging from our past experience with Apple's chips, the A14 inside the new iPhones should have better synthetic performance than the Snapdragon 875 chipset that's inside the US version of the Galaxy S20. Paired with 12GB of RAM, Samsung's smallest Galaxy is definitely no slouch, but the new iPhone could definitely give it a run for the money.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro vs Galaxy S20: Camera

• Apple iPhone 12 Pro: 12MP main + 12MP ultra-wide + 12MP telephoto + 12MP front camera
• Galaxy S20: 12MP + 12MP ultra-wide + 64MP telephoto + 10MP front camera

Both phones came with triple camera setups, consisting of a regular, ultra-wide angle, and telephoto snappers. The differences are in the megapixels and sensor sizes as well as the software features. It's too early to say which one has the better camera, but one thing is for sure: they'll be neck to neck. One thing that will likely be missing on either device is an advanced depth measuring sensor. There's no confirmation that the iPhone 12 Pro will come with a LiDAR sensor, while the Galaxy S20 is missing a ToF sensor.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro vs Galaxy S20: Battery

• Apple iPhone 12 Pro: 2775mAh
• Galaxy S20: 4000mAh

Despite their smaller batteries, iPhones usually have comparable and often even better battery life than its direct Android rivals, Galaxies included. This is why we wouldn't be too quick to downplay the potential battery life of the iPhone 12 Pro due to its smaller battery, at least on paper. Apple has pretty tight control on the hardware and software of its phones and this optimization helps iPhones eke out very good battery life of otherwise humbler batteries. In comparison, the Galaxy S20 has a 4000mAh and that's plenty, but in our tests Samsung's smallest flagship doesn't achieve that good of a battery life in the smooth 120Hz mode. That's a pity that will hopefully be addressed with the Galaxy S21/S30 series. Fast charging is available on the Galaxy S20, and the iPhone 12 Pro would certainly have it, too. The same applies for wireless charging as well.
