I made a big move to buy an iPhone 12. It's my first-ever iPhone in my entire life as I'm an Android fan since my Motorola Milestone way back in 2010. I can't resist the good offer (~RM3,890) - 128gb for the price of 64gb - Physical dual nano SIM (HK set) - Original Apple 20W charger I haven't opened it yet as I'm waiting for my screen protector (iPhones are known to get a lot of micro scratches which is a big no for me). I was leaning towards the blue but not sure I would still like the color after a few months so I picked the black one. I still have my Pixel 4. Now I can really compare the image quality of 2 of the best phone brands in the market. I don't believe in tech reviewers because they have personal biases anyway just like everyone else.

QUOTE(stargazhe @ Nov 11 2020, 02:13 PM) Please share your comparison findings between image quality of Pixel 4 and iPhone 12 here, especially in low light situations. And also how you find iOS 14 compared to Android 11. Always love to hear the perspective of a new iPhone user coming from Android. Thanks in advance. I think Apple already covered what were lacking in previous models when it comes to image. Night sight for all the lenses including front camera. I'll do some comparison in the coming weeks in regards to iOS 14 and Android 11.

A few hours using the iPhone 12 (coming from Pixel 4). I’m pretty sure you won’t agree but the user interface including navigation/settings is messy. As for the camera, it’s too early to judge since I just took a couple of pics which look identical to Pixel. Like I am using the same exact camera. I like the selfie cam since it has some filter (making skin tone brighter and warmer) unlike the Pixel 4 which is too natural you can see your pores and eye bags lol.
Gonna be sharing some pic comparison soon!

QUOTE(CertifiedHomphobe @ Nov 11 2020, 10:19 PM) Probably asked a few time already . Im completely new to the apple ecosystem , maybe its time for me to jump ship. Im not sure whether i should just get the 12 or 12 pro . The differences are quite small , i mean aside for the camera , other differences are discernable. a rm 800 price difference is a lot. I could get myself an air pod pro . So is the 12 pro worth it ? or should i just settle for a normal 12. I suggest you try the cheaper iPhone 12 first since you mentioned this is your first time to try iOS. That's what i did. I was torn between Pixel 5 and iPhone 12 but since I came from Pixel 4, I'd rather try something different this time around. I'm still testing the waters when it comes to software. There are some hiccups here and there. I feel iOS isn't quite polished as I expected it to be BUT that's not to say that I don't like it. I'm giving it a try and see if this phone will make me stick to iOS. This post has been edited by ijuanp03: Nov 12 2020, 02:37 AM

I just noticed something weird with my iPhone 12. The screen flickers after taking a shot in a very dim environment. The display flickers for 1-2 seconds and then goes back to normal. It's only noticeable in minimum brightness.

For now there are only few decent cases in the market. This might do for a while. And as always, matte screen protector for me from Blackwhale.

This is from EM "Hi Morning, our senQ collection date around 30 of NOV,only west Malaysia can collect today, if east Malaysia will delay arrive" Hmm sigh, not sure what to say.. probably won't pre-order from them. That's a very long wait. They should have mentioned this in their website before accepting pre-orders.

iPhone 12 Screen on time ~ 7 hours with mixed usage but mostly just social apps and some YouTube videos. Manually counted the screen usage after full charge.
FYI: connected to wifi. Definitely lower SOT if using mobile data.

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 13 2020, 12:59 PM) 7 hours SOT over two days? Depends how many hours you use your phone per day. I counted manually after full charge from 100%. Apple is quite sneaky not showing real SOT in screen usage and instead will count from midnight regardless how many times you plug your phone. Lol

QUOTE(chiahau @ Nov 13 2020, 01:08 PM) Logically, 12 is the same as 12 pro, minus the premium pricing. Therefore, I always feel that it's either go 12 or 12 pro max straight. 12 pro is neither here or there. If only portrait mode in iPhone 12 is zoomed in (like the Pixel 5 with no telephoto hardware) to avoid lens distortion in your face (assuming you want close up shots).

QUOTE(cookie860217 @ Nov 14 2020, 11:36 AM) I managed to use the app to transfer messages. Contacts I did through Google and Photos are uploaded in cloud. My android phone was Mi 10. After using the app, iOS will ask if u want to download the apps from your phone but noticed not all apps are downloaded. As for WhatsApp, I used this from Shopee and worked perfectly. https://shopee.com.my/Original-Wondershare-...0550.7835251246I used the same software to transfer Whatsapp messages, photos and videos. Videos were transferred but files were corrupted (try playing back a video and it will only play the first few seconds). This post has been edited by ijuanp03: Nov 14 2020, 11:49 AM

QUOTE(rajaotai @ Nov 14 2020, 11:45 AM) I use that software too to transfer whatsapp messages from Android to iPhone. The only problem I encounter is old pdf files in whatsapp can't be opened. Images and others no problem. Is there any workaround for this? Opening PDF file works for me. It could be the software issue itself because we are using..*cough* copy.

Some comparison shots from iPhone 12 vs Moto One Zoom vs Pixel 4 As expected, image from the iPhone is too warm and surprisingly crushing the details in the shadows (hence, reviewers say having deep blacks). Cropping into the pics, there isn't much difference aside from the color balance. I don't buy in the "deep fusion" marketing coin because all flagship phones these days have excellent image quality. Although front camera is a different story altogether. This post has been edited by ijuanp03: Nov 14 2020, 11:42 PM

Black iPhone 12 on blue leather looks sick imo. A white iPhone 12 will also match with this color.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 16 2020, 02:50 AM) Sorry guys, can’t post up personal sales in discussion sections. Related posts already nuked. About accessories for phones, it’s good to allocate at least 10% of total cost of the phone for accessories. So spend more if you haven’t. Anyway, I’m not sure how good the battery of 11 Pro Max but I’m really impressed with 12 Pro Max’s battery. 11H30M screen on time and still has 24% left now. Fantastic. One question from me, if anyone is using Stan Chart banking app, are you able to register Face ID to login with it? I’m not able to do it even I put in the correct password, it keeps telling me wrong password. Did you manually count the screen on time from the time you fully charged your phone upto zero? The reason is the screen usage shown in iPhones will start counting from 12 midnight regardless how many times you charge. This isn't a reliable way to get your SOT so the 11 hours+ may include the screen on time from previous charge. This post has been edited by ijuanp03: Nov 16 2020, 12:00 PM
