The fastest A14 processor, OLED screen, camera technology and 5G connectivity made it one of the first places, with Consumer Reports recommending the 12 Pro Max over other options because of the longer battery life, larger screen and camera with 2.5x zoom.
While the 12 Pro Max will cost $ 100 more than its smaller brother, the 12 Pro, it brings several hours of battery life, a slightly larger screen and a 2.5x zoom camera that leaves you just one wire closer to the action than the 12 Pro’s 2x camera.
On the other hand, the Max version is significantly heavier and can be difficult to use with one hand, even for people with long fingers. If you are suspicious of bulky phones, you can be happier with the 12 Pro.
Other major smartphones on the list include the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G (called the Best Android Phone) and the OnePlus Nord N10 5G, which received the awards for “Best Budget Phone” and “Best Phone for Battery Life”.
Consumer Reports maintains a ranking of the best smartphones on the market by several criteria, and several iPhones are at the top of that list, including the iPhone 11, 11 Pro Max, 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
Apple will have new smartphones coming in 2021, and the iPhone 13 models are already in the works. The flagship iPhones of 2021 will feature faster chips, improvements in camera technology, screens with a refresh rate of 120 Hz for the latest generation models and more, with details available in our iPhone 13 test.
