    If the previous decade has taught us anything, it's that even if the vanguard phones are the ones that draw headlines, they're not necessarily the best sellers. Most people will relate more to brands than capabilities, so on average, consumers just want a new Galaxy or iPhone for the least amount of money.
    It's the reason why we've seen this new approach of not just one Galaxy S or iPhone, and in these challenging times, I'm sure a very important question you might have, is where to draw the line. Which is the best bang for the buck affordable flagship that money can buy? Today, we decided to compare two of our favorites.
    This is the Galaxy S21, Samsung's least expensive flagship for 2021, and if you watched our recent review, one of the phones you should seriously consider right now. This is the iPhone 12, probably one of our favorite offerings in 2020, given how Apple was able to blur the lines between flagship features and price. I'm sure the fans are already drawing conclusions as to which one is going to win, but I'm gonna say it's actually not that simple. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is our comparison, sponsored by SUPCASE. Stick around to learn how you can win a Galaxy S21 and a Galaxy S21 Ultra.

      And for an extra $50 you can boost your storage to 256gb on the S21.

    I’m swapping from an iPhone 12 to an S21. I love this iPhone but there are some REALLY bad cons I have with it. Wifi calling doesn’t work AT ALL on the T-Mobile version, dead zones on the touch screen that become unresponsive. Massive lag here and there. Cell service dead spots where I had service with my One Plus 7 Pro. Those are the biggest. Then there are little software annoyances like Apple Music starting and playing music on it’s when connecting to the BT in my car lol

      Depends also how much money you are willing to spend. With $200 you can get an Android phone that does 95% of what you need phone for, maybe more. I had every Iphone till they started removing everything from the box, could't also handle having to pay for migre fast charger after spending over $1000.
      The other things you can get in Android are; SECOND SPACE, the most valuable feature on any phone ( only Hauwie and Xiaomi) give you that. Plus , IR BLASTER.. these are the two features that i can't use any phones without them.

      Aside from shorter battery life, the iPhone 12 pro seems alright for video, photos, 5G connectivity, and call quality.
      And if you don't mind a bigger phone, the iPhone 12 pro max has good battery life.
      But other phones look slightly better to me, tbh, and I hate that Apple is in bed with China's Communist Party, and makes almost all their stuff in China. I also hate that Apple does scummy things like soldering RAM and storage onto motherboards so users can't upgrade, and there's a certain smugness to Apple that is irritating me more and more, the more I learn about Apple.
      I like IOS and security, or I wouldn't even think of getting an iPhone, and my current mood is to buy used so that I don't give any money to the Communist Party of Apple.
