Does Samsung Make iPhones? Is That Even a Question?

Introduction

There are many cell phones in the market that are being manufactured by several brands. These brands are in a never ending race of releasing the best available phones and every year they make better phones with far more features than before. Two major companies have been competing for the first position in this race: Samsung and Apple. Both Samsung and Apple have been known to release new phones with upgraded cameras and screens each year. 

Does Samsung Make iPhones?

There has been a lot of debate surrounding the question of whether Samsung makes iPhones or not. The answer to this question is yes and no. To elaborate some more, we will first explain why part of the answer is “yes”: it is common knowledge Samsung manufactures some parts of the famous iPhones; these parts include the screen and display, chips, and even the RAM (in iPhone 5).

We will now explain why the answer is partly “no”: Samsung may make a few parts, but at the end of the day, Apple still owns the design and idea of the iPhone. A very basic example to explain this could be that if you plan on starting a lemonade business, you won’t be crediting the tree and the lemons in it, right? This is because you started the business, no matter where the products came from. Such is the case with Samsung and Apple, so we can definitely claim that Samsung does not make iPhones.

Why Choose Samsung Instead of Apple?

Samsung and iPhone users often debate, which includes going over the pros and cons of each brand and deciding why and how one of them is better. We have compiled some basic facts in this article to prove to you that getting a Samsung phone will always be the smarter and wiser choice.

Battery Life

The first major reason is the battery life. The battery life of a Samsung phone is going to be much better than that of an iPhone.

Durability

Next up is the durability. Samsung’s phones are often more durable than iPhones. If you are looking for a phone that wouldn’t completely fall apart due to the slightest of blows, then Samsung is your answer.

Storage Space

Another reason to go for a Samsung phone is storage space. Even though Apple has released phones with 500GB+ memory, it still hasn’t provided its users with the option of an expandable storage space; whereas, you can easily increase a Samsung phone’s original memory with the use of an SD card.

Battery Removal

Battery removal is another feature that Samsung and android users have that iPhone users don’t. Phones are bound to lose their battery life after they’ve been in use for a large amount of time. All phones have certain charging cycles and eventually their battery life falls.

You can easily remove the old battery in the case of a Samsung phone, get a new one, and make your phone’s battery life as good as new; you will now have a phone with a perfect battery life even after an extended period of usage. However, that is not the case with an iPhone, since its battery can’t be removed and you would have to deal with the hassle of going to a service store to get it changed.

5 Best Samsung Phone Models That Rival an iPhone

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra

The latest phone put forward by Samsung is the Galaxy S20 Ultra. It is the best product Samsung has released up till now with great functionality and an amazing performance speed.

Samsung Galaxy S10+

We think that the Galaxy S10+ by Samsung performs far better than an iPhone. The S series phones have been released on a yearly basis for quite a while now but it seems like Samsung has finally hit the jackpot with this one, as it has all the features that a good phone should have.

The S10+ has a huge display and a sleek body. This is the first phone with a HDR+ feature and the screen size is a whopping 6.4 inches. It has got a good grip to it and functions very smoothly. Other than its appearance, the Galaxy S10+ has three cameras at the back along with EIS and OIS, which makes shooting 4k videos more fun due to being smoother and of great quality.

The Samsung Galaxy S10+ has a headphone jack; although this may sound like a simple feature, it is one that most iPhones do not have. Apple users have been using air pods or other means of connecting headphones to their phones since the release of the iPhone 7; Samsung has taken a very user-oriented approach to this and has kept the headphone jack while also promoting their wireless earphones, giving their customers more than one choice.

Verdict

The Galaxy S10+ is one of the best Samsung phones as it’s user-oriented with a lot of new and innovative features. This phone’s long battery life lets it triumph over its competitors. Although this phone is a little expensive, it’s a great choice if you can afford it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is another phone with additional features and specs that we think works better and smoother than an iPhone. Samsung has conquered the market with this cell phone as well, since it isn’t too pricey and gives the users all the basic features that a good phone typically has. Other than that, its perfect size makes it look sleek and beautiful.

The Note 10 has three back cameras (12MP + 12MP + 16MP) and a 10MP front camera.

The fast charging feature lets it charge pretty quickly; you can use a wireless charger with it as well.

This phone has a built-in memory of 256GB and a RAM of 8GB, which is sufficient for all of your data and more. The Corning Gorilla glass makes it very durable and water-resistant. This phone is available is various colors including Aura Glow, Aura Black, Aura White, Aura Pink, and Aura Red.

Verdict

The pros of the phone clearly outweigh the cons, and it’s available in two different editions so you can pick whichever one suits your preferences. The sleek look and huge color range make it a very attractive phone to own.

Samsung Galaxy S10e

The Samsung Galaxy S10e may not be as good as the Note 10 or S20, but it is still an amazing phone. The best thing about it is that it is affordable while also having great features. You can spend less cash than the above-mentioned phones demand and still get a phone that has a smart high-end processor along with the top-notch programming that Samsung is known for.

The Galaxy S10e weighs 150g and is thus easy to carry around and to hold. It supports the Android 9.0. This phone also comes in two variants, one with 128GB of space and the other with 256GB.

This phone has dual back cameras of 12MP and 16MP, plus a front camera of 10MP.

The Galaxy S10e is a great phone if you want a Samsung phone that will give you all the required features in a limited budget. All of this phone’s features are as good as an iPhone’s, even though you might not get good secondary cameras. You should go for it if your budget doesn’t allow you to buy the other phones we have mentioned.

Samsung Galaxy A50

The last phone in our list is the Samsung Galaxy A50. Samsung has made this phone while keeping in mind the budget constraint of its customers. Although they have gotten rid of some of the extra features in this phone, they have kept all the basic necessary ones. The price of this phone has automatically gone down due to the removal of some of the high-end features, making it a more budget-friendly choice for you.

This phone has a large screen size of 6.4-inches along with an AMOLED display, the combination of which make for an overall great viewing experience.

Things to Consider When Choosing a New Phone

There are many things one should keep in mind while looking for a new phone:

Budget

Your first concern should be your budget. Get a phone that is within your budget but also has all the basic features you need. Getting a very cheap phone wouldn’t be wise due to the lower quality and getting a really expensive one with all the features might end up being a financial burden for you.

Camera

For many people, the cameras’ quality matters quite a lot. Hence, do some research about each phone’s camera performance beforehand so you can get the one that suits your preferences.

Storage

Another major factor you need to think about before buying a new phone is its storage. Opt for whichever phone offers as much storage space as you need; there are many storage options available now, ranging from 64GB to 512GB.

Final Verdict

Out of all the above-mentioned phones, the Samsung Galaxy S20 wins. It has great specs and features; however, it might be a little expensive due to being the latest one, but the benefits certainly make up for the price and make it the best rival for iPhones.

Conclusion

Samsung and Apple both are the top contenders in the race for mobile phones. Each year, both come up with new and better phones, but for us Samsung takes the trophy away due to its great battery life and advanced features.
