Apple iPhone 12 Pro full review

Apple iPhone 12 Pro is here. This year, Apple is giving potential buyers more choice than ever. We already reviewed the iPhone 12, and now it's time for the 12 Pro. Besides having double the storage, a stainless steel frame, and different colors than the 12, the 12 Pro upgrades are mostly camera-related. It's got a proper telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, a LiDAR Scanner for AR applications, and low-light focusing, and it can take portrait shots with Night mode. This is not the longest list of upgrades we've seen, so choosing between these two iPhones is going to be a tough one.

I don't wanna know if they are similar or not, I just want to hear about the PRO not the max or the regular.

[@RaysTrack]

Excellent review. Thanks.

[@PhoenixCNSTL]

love it when they take the intro into a whole new level.

[@SportZone7780]

Nice review

[@mlloser8318]

They could have give night mode support on telephoto but but but but....... Apple will give us next year to show it's better than previous and call it revolutionary

[@johnelishageling8750]

The intro made me subscribe, I thought it was gonna be a marvel movie😂

[@KBTIMAGES]

You are only channel to clearly define the flaws in the cameras. Phew saved myself some coin. I like to landscapes not portraits. My xiaomi MI 9 pro does a great job.

Keep up the great work!! Your opinion: Iphone 12 or 12 Pro if i choose the 128GB storage model in Europe? (I have 6s Plus) You think is better that an Android flagship?(oneplus 8Pro or others)? Should i switch? -No instagram, video and photo shooter not so much, nor gamer +Intensive multitasking app user for work(mails,whatsapp,viber,messenger,skype) lot of calls! +youtube or live sports videos mostly

Fastest SoC in the market, yet when you actually take advantage of that extra power, the small battery drains fast af.

there are far too many adverts but its good video

[@mtezman3465]

I've always wondered what cellphone brand GSM Arena prefers. After that intro I have no more doubts.

[@dervvy]

What do you mean? They also did the same intro style with the note 20 ultra review.

[@MRJI-tb2jg]

Why don't you add audio qwality details of this smartphone on your website , As you did before on iphone 11pro Please always do this Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌷⚘🌺🌹🌷🌻👏👏

Everyone be talking about the intro, but what I was impressed by is that he was in Sofia, Bulgaria, and so lowkey did all the review here. It was a pleasant surprise for a guy living in the same city like me :P

[@inspectahgadget3725]

Dafuq?! "Most phones" DO NOT have a notch!

[@stpav2698]

I have the iPhone 8. Should I go for the 12 mini?? The problem is that the 8 still works awesome

[@nark6804]

Get the 12

[@jimmylives]

Go for 12 instead of 12 pro or mini

[@theresemilanes]

Go for the 12. The 12 mini has horrendous battery based on reviews of those who decided to get it

[@Zereph...]

Will you have reviewed the iphone as a user others did it as a fanboy, so I applaud 😊😊

[@phuckhugh2698]

What country is GSM Arena in?

[@mr67g54]

[@simplehumble3660]

One plus 8 pro

[@anicetune]

I miss the old GSM Arena videos, where you would play with a phone to a continuous version of the intro music and there was no talking. That's not to say this isn't a great review. :)

[@happyimnot1236]

Omg i need help pls read. So i am still using my iphone 6s with 16gb and 70% battery life. I have having my debut on May next year. And I want to upgrade my phone. What should i get? Iphone 12 pro, 12 pro max or should i just wait for the iphone 13 next year?? PLS SOMEONE ANSWER I JUST NEED HELP AND I DONT KNOW WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER IN BUYING:(((

[@TheRavenDoctor]

Just go with the 11 pro max. Neither the 12 or the thirteen will have something worth spending so much money on, and the 11 is more than good enough for an Apple phone. I’m hoping the 14 has something good because the 12 isn’t worth the price thus far and I don’t think 13 will be either

A mediocre camera at best. All iphone benchmarks are against its own previous gen phones. I was interested in getting one but the cam is shite. Rather go for the Note 20 Ultra or the S21. Just doesn't make sense.

A14 still benchmarks like crap in AnTuTu compared to the 865 and 865+ . Then they start throttling like crazy after the first to below 500k while the 865 will go 560k to over 600k indefinitely without throttling. Those are actual tests.

[@ustaadjisharma7591]

💥boom

[@narmerland]

what about the 6gb of ram compared to the 12's 4gb. It makes a world of difference when you want to truly multitask and not have your apps restart when you go back to them. I mean this alone is worth paying more for some of us

[@TheRavenDoctor]

The 12 is faster at multitasking than the S note 20 ultra, which was supposed to be the fastest for years to come. Look it up before you complain please

[@narmerland]

@@TheRavenDoctor Can it hold 15+ apps open in the background, real-world use is not how fast it multitasks but how well.

[@TheRavenDoctor]

@@narmerland who the hell has 15 apps open in the background? That’ll slow down whatever phone you use, and drain battery life. any decent human clears out their apps after they are done using it, instead of leaving so many apps open. There are so many videos and articles on this. The ram isn’t going to make a massive difference if there’s a 2 gb difference. Plus, the 12 has 6 gb of ram, another thing you didn’t look up. Now I’m not saying it’s worth to upgrade to the 12, the 12 is not worth the price at all, but your facts aren’t checking out, so I’m saying look up what you need to know before you complain about things that aren’t true. Trust the phone experts, they know what they are saying. Trying to argue with them is futile and kinda funny

[@xyla3513]
