UI 2.5 definitely brings a lot of features in the iPhone 11 on the other hand comes with iOS 14 which has excellent privacy and top of the line app optimization. The FE on the other hand works seamlessly with Windows thanks to the collaboration between Samsung and Microsoft. When it comes to software, when we talk about the internal specs this is where it gets a bit confusing. The iPhone 11 comes with Apple A13 chip while the S20 FE rocks the Snapdragon 865 Slash EXYNOS 990 depending on your market. The Apple A13 is faster than both, though 865 can match the A13 the EXYNOX 990 is definitely not on the same level the Apple A13 is. Gaming is better on the Snapdragon 865 on Galaxy S20 FE. The Galaxy S20 FE has the same camera setup as the S20.

The iPhone 11 has the same camera setup as the iPhone 11 Pro series. But Samsung gives you the extra zoom on the S20 FE, 8-megapixel telephoto that gives you 3X lossless zoom and then up to 30X digital zoom. Both phones can shoot 4k 60 FPS video from both front and back cameras the iPhone can further take that to the next level with 1080p 120 Hz videos.

Now let’s talk about the battery on both phones. The iPhone 11 is one of the best phones when it comes to the battery performance. Despite S20 is 120 Hz display it can still give you a full day of usage as Samsung promises that thanks to a 4500 mAh battery.

| Sensors | Face ID, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer | Fingerprint (under display, optical), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer |
They both support wireless charging but S20 FE can actually do reverse wireless charging. The S20 FE comes with a 25 Watt fast charger out of the box that promises 50% battery in just 30 minutes. The iPhone 11 on the other hand only rocks a 5 Watt charger out of the box, so you have to buy the fast 18 Watt charger separately from Apple or a third-party brand. The galaxy S20 allows you to wirelessly connect it to any smart TV via Samsung DeX.
Which is better!
If you like the S20 FE currently for 699$ because the 60hz LCD display and that big notch is just way too outdated in our opinion. You also get 5G on the S20 FE, that’s also a plus point. So it’s clear, who actually wins the battle. S20 FE is the clear winner in every possible way you could think off.
