Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 vs Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max: Choosing an ecosystem

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 is now official, which means it’s time to compare it to the top device from the Korean firm’s top competitor, Apple. Apple doesn’t make foldables, so our comparison remains limited to their best device right now, the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Why even make the comparison in the first place? It makes sense for average users who are out in the market to spend around $1000 and are informed of their options through marketing and advertising. To them, these options make sense, and consequently, the comparison makes sense.

Obviously, it’s like these two smartphones come from two different worlds. One is foldable; one isn’t. One runs Android; one runs iOS. They live in two completely different ecosystems. In fact, when making that purchasing decision, you should probably consider what ecosystem you want to live in. Both Samsung and Apple offer a full stack including smartphones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, Bluetooth earbuds, and more.

Design and Display: The Galaxy Z Flip 3 folds, the iPhone doesn’t

Indeed, the key difference between these two devices is that one folds, and the other doesn’t. The whole idea behind the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series is that it can be folded into something more compact and pocketable, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max is a standard rectangular slab that makes no such attempts. In fact, for a lot of people, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is a little too big, and my colleague Ben can often be heard complaining about the poor ergonomics on the Pro Max.

There are other advantages too. Both displays are OLED, of course. Samsung offers a 120Hz refresh rate though, which means you get smoother motion and animations.

On the other hand, the display on the iPhone 12 Pro Max is both larger and with a higher resolution. Both screens are 6.7 inches measured diagonally, but with the larger 19.5:9 aspect ratio, the screen on the iPhone is bigger than the 22:9 display on the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The pixel density is still higher with the iPhone at 458ppi, compared to 425ppi.

Since the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is a foldable device, it does have an additional screen on the outside, which is good for seeing the time and notifications. It’s worth noting because while Apple does have a much larger screen that’s in plain sight all the time, it’s not always on.

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 also comes in more fun colors than the iPhone 12 Pro Max does. Apple just doesn’t do fun colors with its ‘Pro’ products, so there’s only Graphite, Silver, Gold, and Pacific Blue. If you want fun colors, you have to sacrifice some quality.

Note the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a larger battery, and consequently better battery life. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is 45g lighter than the iPhone 12 Pro Max, so that compromise might be worth it for those looking at the portability aspect of the device.

Camera: The iPhone 12 Pro Max beats the Galaxy Z Flip 3

The camera isn’t the priority with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. Indeed, this device is all about the form factor. If you want a regular smartphone that you can fold into something smaller, that’s exactly what the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is for. That doesn’t mean that it has a bad camera, but it’s more likely to be beaten by a more traditional smartphone.

Both of these devices have 12MP main sensors, although there’s a smaller f/1.8 aperture on the Galaxy Z Flip 3 than the f/1.6 aperture on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Both of them offer a night mode, but I’d expect better low-light performance out of the iPhone.

They also both have ultra-wide sensors, f/2.4 on the iPhone and f/2.2 on the Galaxy. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the only one with a third, telephoto lens, and that comes in with 2.5x zoom. If you’re into lossless zoom, that’s a clear advantage for the iPhone.

Honestly, if you’re looking for the best camera chops from Samsung, you came to the wrong place. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the clear winner there, and even the Galaxy Z Fold 3 does a better job than the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The smaller something gets, the harder it is to pack technology into it. That doesn’t mean that the cameras are poor on the Galaxy Z Flip 3 — they’re pretty good for what they are, and most users should be content with the general package. But if you’re specifically looking to flex your camera skills, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is the but-obvious winner.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max uses Apple’s custom A14 Bionic chipset. That means they also have two completely different ISPs. Indeed, it’s not just the sensor that decides how good a smartphone camera is. The image signal processor and the software also both make a big difference.

Many of the improvements in the Qualcomm Spectra 580 have to do with triple-lens cameras, such as the ability to take three pictures at the same time. Obviously, that doesn’t help the Galaxy Z Flip 3. Apple of course develops its own ISP to work directly with the sensor since it owns the whole stack. That’s how it can come up with cool features like Deep Fusion, which is meant to improve texture and detail.

Conclusion: Buying into an ecosystem

If you’re just buying a phone and that’s it, that’s fine. You might even be the type that just never buys first-party accessories in the lifetime of the device. There are lots of Bluetooth earbuds that work with any device, and the same goes for smartwatches. In fact, almost all of Samsung’s peripherals work with iPhones too, although a lot of Apple’s stuff doesn’t work with non-Apple devices.

Let’s take a look at what you’re buying into.

Samsung	Apple
Phone	Galaxy Z Flip 3	iPhone 12 Pro Max
Smartwatch	Galaxy Watch 4	Apple Watch Series 6
Earbuds	Galaxy Buds 2	AirPods
Tablet	Galaxy Tab S7	iPad Pro
Laptop	Galaxy Book Pro	MacBook Pro

If you’re at a point right now where you’re looking at phones, you might not have even thought about this yet. It’s something to consider, so perhaps it’s worth doing some light research on options like a smartwatch and earbuds just to see what you like. No one is forcing you to pair up with a smartwatch right away, but it’s just something to think about.

There’s no easy decision as to whether to go with Samsung or Apple, or to go with Android or iOS. A lot of that comes down to personal preference. As far as the hardware goes, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is objectively better, and why shouldn’t it be? The traditional form factor is always better because we already know how to make it good. It has a better camera, a larger battery, a better screen, and more.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 folds into something more compact. It’s lighter and fits into smaller spaces, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max is actually quite big. If you’re used to fitting your phone into small spaces, then a big device like the iPhone 12 Pro Max is going to stick out. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 could be just the fix for that problem that you need.

True, the 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, A14 chip, and matte glass back of the iPhone 12 Pro Max are appealing, but the foldability, dual screens, and 120Hz refresh rate of the Z Flip 3 are calling out to you too.

Comparing two phones can be hard work — but don’t worry, we’ve done it for you. We’ve compared the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the iPhone 12 Pro Max across six core categories, from display to special features, to help you decide which one is worthy of your cash.

Design, display, and durability

These phones couldn’t be more different in terms of style — one is a foldable with an interior screen and a cover screen, while the other is a more traditional style, with just the one gorgeous 6.7-inch OLED screen. The iPhone 12 Pro Max features a Ceramic Shield display — which Apple promises offers four times better drop performance than the iPhone 11 series. This phone truly is a beast, weighing in at 226 grams compared to the Z Flip 3’s 183 grams. Its dimensions mean it’s most definitely a two-handed device, so if you like holding your phone in one hand, this might not be the one for you — although the Z Flip 3 isn’t really suitable for one-handed use either, especially when it’s open.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is sleek from tip to toe, with a textured matte glass back that repels fingerprints, stainless steel design, and those polished steel bezels running around the outside of the handset. In contrast, the Z Flip 3 is forged from Armor Aluminum — the strongest aluminum used in a Galaxy handset to date — with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus keeping the phone safe from drops and scratches. This results in a shiny back that does act as a bit of a fingerprint magnet and also feels quite slippery. If you choose the Z Flip 3, you’ll want to invest in a protective case to add grip and keep your phone safe from drops.

The displays are where these two phones really differ. The iPhone 12 Pro Max’s 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is bright, crisp, and colorful, and viewing it outside in even the brightest sunshine isn’t an issue. Everything from videos to the latest games looks great, and with 458 pixels per inch, the screen is sharp, with excellent resolution. The resolution is slightly lower on the Z Flip 3’s 6.7-inch, 2640 x 1080 pixel main screen, with 425 pixels per inch — but because it’s an AMOLED display, there’s slightly better dynamic range, with deeper blacks. It’s a close call to say which screen is better, but mobile gamers should bear in mind the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s refresh rate is just 60Hz compared to the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate on offer with the Z Flip 3.

Speaking of the Z Flip 3, it has that second 1.9-inch cover screen with 260 x 512 resolution and 302 ppi. It’s pretty handy for checking the time, notifications, weather, or any other information, although it can be unresponsive at times and often takes longer to react to a swipe than it should.

Let’s talk about available colors. The Z Flip 3 comes in cream, green, lavender, or Phantom Black, or you can pick up one of three Samsung exclusive colors: Pink, white, or gray. The iPhone 12 Pro Max, however, sticks to a more muted — yet sophisticated — color palette with four choices available: silver, graphite, gold, or Pacific Blue.

Finally, the Z Flip 3 has an IPX8 rating, which means you can submerge the phone in up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is IP68 rated, meaning it’s safe to submerge it in up to 6 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.

It’s too close to call a winner for this round, as each phone has its merits, and it may come down to personal preference.

Winner: Tie

Performance, battery life, and charging

Both phones have processors that are pretty much the best you can get right now in terms of performance. The Z Flip 3 is powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor, the same chip beefing up the Galaxy S21 series phones — and with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage, this phone can handle the latest apps, games, and multitasking moments with ease. Did we mention that adaptive 120Hz refresh rate? It’s definitely a boon for keen mobile gamers or anybody who enjoys that super-slick scrolling experience. One thing worth noting is that the rear of the phone does get quite warm to touch, particularly around the camera module.

In contrast, the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s A14 chip packs a punch in power too. There’s only 6GB of RAM here, but iPhones need less RAM, and you shouldn’t face any issues playing the latest games, running multiple apps, and multitasking.

When it comes to battery life, the 3,687mAh battery in the iPhone 12 Pro Max is just slightly larger than the Z Flip 3’s 3,300mAh capacity offering, but the iPhone 12 Pro Max offers 20W fast charging compared to the 15W on offer with the Z Flip 3, which is a big deal for those of us who like a quick battery boost.

Both phones have wireless charging: 7.5W Qi wireless charging on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, 10W fast wireless charging on the Z Flip 3. Where the Z Flip 3 offers 4.5W reverse wireless charging (Wireless PowerShare), which means you can pop your earbuds or other Galaxy accessories on the back of the phone to charge, the iPhone 12 Pro Max gives us 15W MagSafe wireless charging — each has its merits, depending on which you find more useful. With the iPhone 12 Pro Max, you can expect over a day of heavy usage from the battery, but the Z Flip 3’s battery life is actually quite disappointing, struggling to make it through a full day when out and about using cellular connectivity — and bear in mind if you’re using the adaptive 120Hz refresh rate on the Z Flip 3, this can impact battery life.

The Z Flip 3 comes with 128GB or 256GB of storage, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max comes in 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB options. Neither phone has a microSD card slot, which might mean the larger storage on the iPhone 12 Pro Max makes more sense for those storing a lot of data on their phones. However, 256GB should be more than enough storage for most people.

This round was a close one, but the Z Flip 3 just edges out in front, mostly due to that adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, which is excellent for playing the most demanding games smoothly.

Winner: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3

Cameras

The Z Flip 3 has a dual-camera setup on the rear, with a 12MP wide sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 10MP selfie camera on the front. The cameras are fine for everyday use, but prone to overprocessing. Samsung has added some new features like Flex Mode, which makes taking hands-free selfies easier, and enhanced Quick Shot, which lets you double-click the power key to snap quick photos and videos without opening the phone.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max’s cameras offer a bit more bang for your buck, and it’s safe to say this is one of the best camera phones around. You get a triple-lens setup on the rear, with a 12MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, and 12MP telephoto lens. On the front, there’s a 12MP TrueDepth camera for selfies. You can expect crisp, colorful shots even in low-light environments and at night, without even using Night Mode. Portraits and close-up shots also enjoy incredible bokeh. The downside is that the selfie camera can be hit and miss in Night Mode.

Both phones also support up to 4K resolution video recording at 60fps.

This round goes to the iPhone 12 Pro Max, mostly for the fact it takes great shots even in low light.

Winner: iPhone 12 Pro Max

Software and updates

The Z Flip 3 ships with Android 11 and Samsung One UI 3.1, Samsung’s skin. It’s a great OS, but it’s almost impossible to compare it to iOS 14 on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. It’s really a matter of personal preference which is best, as both systems have their pros and cons.

Apple has the edge here with updates. Samsung normally offers three generations of OS updates and four years of security updates, while Apple generally provides several years of updates for its phones, and users receive new versions of software as soon as they’re ready.

We’ve declared the iPhone 12 Pro Max the winner here, mostly due to the longer support for updates — but ultimately it might come down to the age-old “Android or iOS?” question as to which you prefer.

Winner: iPhone 12 Pro Max

Special features

The iPhone 12 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 both support 5G, and with both phones you get support for mmWave and sub-6Hz 5G, providing the fastest possible 5G speeds.

You can use MagSafe accessories with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, a range of magnetic accessories that attach to the rear of the phone, including the 15W MagSafe wireless charger (not included in the box). However, the iPhone 12 Pro doesn’t have reverse wireless charging so you can’t pop your Airpods Pro or other accessories on the back of your phone to charge, as you can with your Galaxy Buds 2 and the Z Flip 3 — pretty handy when you can’t get to a charger.

Meanwhile, the Z Flip 3 has a cool Labs feature that allows you to optimize apps to the foldable screen. The phone’s cover screen has Samsung Pay built in, making it easy to pay for groceries or a coffee without opening your phone. There’s also a Flex Mode Panel that enhances the usability of apps and makes them look better too. When the Z Flip 3 is partially folded, the panel can help you by, for example, moving your YouTube or Netflix video to the top part of the screen, keeping the controls for volume and playback on the bottom half.

Too close to call this round — the cool foldable features and reverse wireless charging of the Z Flip 3 are excellent, but some might prefer the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s MagSafe accessories.

Winner: Tie

Price and availability

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is available to buy directly from Samsung. Pick up the 128GB model for $1,000 or the 256GB version for $1,050. It’s available in four colors: Cream, lavender, green, or Phantom Black, as well as three Samsung Exclusives: White, pink, or gray. Right now you get a free pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 with all Z Flip 3 purchases, plus a free year of Samsung Care+ for accidental damage cover — this also includes cracked screen repair for $250. You can save up to $700 off the price when you trade in up to four devices, too.

You can also pick up the Z Flip 3 for free from T-Mobile with an eligible trade-in, or from AT&T.

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is available directly from Apple from $1,099 for the 128GB version, $1,199 for the 256GB version, or $1,399 for the 512GB version. You can also trade in an older phone with Apple and get up to $540 toward the cost of your new phone. Or pick up the iPhone 12 Pro Max from Best Buy and other retailers.

Overall winner: iPhone 12 Pro Max

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max takes the crown, but only just, as it was really close to call. That impressive, crisp, 6.7-inch OLED screen, outstanding camera, long-lasting battery life, support for 5G, and powerful A14 chip — not to mention several years of updates — ensure it’s earned its rightful place as our winner of the two phones. Ultimately, however, these two phones are both solid choices if you’re looking for a powerful, capable processor, gorgeous screen, and standout design. It may come down to whether you prefer Apple or Android in the end.
