The iphone 13 quartet is highly appreciated for camera quality, battery life, but there have not been many really noticeable improvements.
IPHONE 12 PANAMERA
In preparation for the launch of Iphone 13 today, Apple sent the phone to a number of journalists and technology experts to evaluate the product early. According to experts, if only paying attention to the configuration, many people will question why Apple does not call this smartphone iPhone 12s because there is not much difference in appearance and specifications compared to iPhone 12. However, , when used in practice, iPhone 13 works better, even some features are significantly superior.
Design
The most noticeable general change on the four new iPhone models is the 20% smaller notch while still providing the TrueDepth camera system and Face ID. "The smaller notch is definitely a step in the right direction, but I still find it unsightly. Apple focuses on Face ID, so the notch will still exist. TrueDepth technology under the screen is probably still a long way off. ", said Tom's Guide.
In terms of design, this technology page shares disappointment because the iPhone 13 is not equipped with Touch ID fingerprint recognition on the power button or hidden under the screen. Many people wear masks in public, so using Face ID to unlock becomes inconvenient.

Similarly, CNet thinks that "even though the notch is smaller, it's still a notch" and this technology site has a mixed feeling of love and hate with this design in terms of aesthetics.
Screen

| The 13 Pro series has a 120 Hz . display The Super Retina XDR OLED screen on the new generation iPhone helps display clear and bright images. The Teachradar page rated the brightness as improved and "completely able to defeat other competitors" when used directly in sunlight. In Tom's Guide tests, the standard iPhone 13 averaged 795 nits of brightness, compared to 569 nits of the iPhone 12 and 702 nits of the Galaxy S21. The device also achieved 78.1% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 110.2% of the sRGG color gamut, while the iPhone 12 was 81.1% and 114.5 percent, respectively. The Verge page praises the product's high refresh rate, providing an enjoyable user experience. However, the new 120 Hz refresh rate is only applied on iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. With a 60 Hz screen, the standard iPhone 13 offers a less smooth scrolling or gaming experience than the Pro models. If you've ever used a 120 Hz screen on an Android phone, you'll easily notice the difference here. Camera  "I will say it plainly: the iPhone 13 Pro has the best camera system of any smartphone available," asserts The Verge. Photos taken in most situations have less noise than the iPhone 12. Another new feature is Photographic Style, which allows custom skins to be applied to images, such as Increase Contrast, Vivid, Warm Pressure and Cool. "Ultra-wide photos taken with the new phone are darker than the iPhone 12, but are exposed better overall. Buildings in the night sky have clear outlines, less noise, and more neutral tones," EnGadget said. . "The overall video quality from the iPhone 13 is also great with improved noise reduction, better dynamic range, and enhanced processing technology that can identify areas of skin, faces, sky," said Tom's Guide. . A major upgrade in video capabilities is the Cinematic mode, which allows recording with a bokeh effect that blurs the background. "It works like Portrait mode for video. But while Portrait mode just gives the background an artistic blur effect, Cinematic can dynamically focus from one subject to another," CNet describes. describe. However, Tom's Guide said that Cinematic is not perfect because the iPhone 13 sometimes takes a few seconds to recognize a fast-moving subject. But overall, this is a cool feature that many people will want to try. The only criticism The Verge has on the iPhone's camera system is the selfie camera. Although there have been a few software improvements, the front-facing camera is already an important part of a phone, so Apple needs to focus more on updating it in a few years. In addition, CNet points out, in low light, the iPhone takes "mediocre" macro photos because the phone is so close to the subject that part of the light is blocked. Performance The iPhone 13 runs the latest A15 Bionic chip with an advertised 50% faster CPU and 30% faster GPU than the competition. In Techradar's testing, the iPhone 13 was able to launch apps instantly and easily switch between apps with relatively low load times. "The A15 Bionic doesn't actually offer a significant performance boost over the A14 Bionic on the iPhone 12, but it's still enough to be the fastest chip in any phone," says Tom's Guide. CNet also assessed that, despite the improvement in performance compared to older iPhone models, the daily experience is largely the same. The multi-core Geekbench 5 score of the iPhone 13 is 4,688, while the iPhone 12 scores 3,859 points in the same test, while the Galaxy S21 scores 3,367 points. In terms of graphics performance, in the 3DMark Wild Life benchmark, the new iPhone reached 55.9 fps, higher than the 51 fps of the iPhone 12 and 33 fps of the Galaxy S21 Ultra. In the video editing test with Adobe Premiere Rush, the iPhone 13 took 25.9 seconds to convert a 4K video to 1080p compared to 26.5 seconds of the iPhone 12, and the Galaxy S21 took 1 minute and 2 seconds. |
Battery life
Apple says the iPhone 13 has 1.5-2.5 hours longer battery life than its predecessor thanks to a larger battery and A15 Bionic chip. Testing by Tom's Guide showed even better results.
"The larger battery in the iPhone 13 Pro certainly pays off, increasing the phone's lifespan by about 3 hours compared to the previous generation and 2 hours longer than the Galaxy S21 Plus," the site said.
Although not yet the best battery life in the smartphone market, The Verge emphasized: "All comparisons are approximate, but the battery life of iPhone 13 is really great."
The most regrettable point is that Apple has not increased the faster charging speed on the phone. iPhone 13 Pro only supports up to 20W wired and 15W via MagSafe.
Overall, Tom's Guide gave the iPhone 13 Pro Max a 5-star rating, while the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro scored 4.5 stars. The Verge scores 9/10 both iPhone 13 and 13 Pro models. Similarly, CNet scored 9 with iPhone 13 and 13 mini, while the Pro version got 9.2, while EnGadget gave it an overall score of 91/100.
