iPhone 12 Pro Max Review: This is huge!

What's up guys, welcome back to the channel. So today we are going to talk about Pro Max. Yes,

this

was my reaction when I first unpacked

this

phone. Guys, this phone is

huge

. Well, I guess after using the mini for so long, this also plays a role. how i see the pro max okay let's start from the beginning so in this video we will talk about the good things and many wonderful things about this phone and i will tell you a little bit about my thoughts after using this phone for a while and gun up the end of the video where I show you a neat trick that makes this

huge

phone a little bit easier to handle, so it's no surprise that this phone is huge.

It comes with a huge 6.7-inch display which is bigger. than the previous generation, the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which had a 6.5-inch screen, we'll come back to the screen later in the video, so let's go ahead and take a look at the overall design and build quality, so so different from the mini. The pro max is made from steel retina aluminum and feels more substantial in the hand and very nice to touch, so the downside here is the glossy finish around the frame, which looks nice but is a fingerprint magnet crazy so the good part is that as it is in theory it should be more resistant to drops and impacts so you'll have to see how that translates into reality when I do a follow up video later after using this phone for a few months, where this phone sits on the heavier side of the scale and weighs around 226 grams, almost the same as the previous generation, the 11 Pro Max, so I'm not surprised given the enormous size and materials of quality used in the Pro Max, so in short, this is a substantial device.

It's big, it feels big and it feels premium, so guys, that's enough and a lot of numbers, let's get ready and go out and see what it looks like. I'll see you in a moment. It's calling me back to the screen. The Pro Max has a massive display that is larger and brighter, plus with a maximum brightness of 800 nits and 1200 nits for HDR content, this phone handles itself very well when used in bright sunlight. The Pro Max comes with a set of 3 cameras, 1 white, 1 ultra-wide angle and 1 telephoto lens. and a lidar sensor has also been added, so for width we have an aperture of 1.6 with a focal length equivalent to a 26 millimeter lens.

The difference with the previous year is in the aperture, which is now 1.6 compared to 1.8 of the previous model. previous model, then for the ultra wide angle we have an aperture of 2.4 with a focal blade equivalent to a 13 millimeter lens with a field of view of 120 degrees, which means that this is very, very wide and finally for the Telephoto lens we have an aperture of 2.2 with equivalent to a focal length of 65 millimeters, this also brings some changes in the aperture configuration, since the previous year we had the 2.4 aperture lens. The only thing I noticed is that this phone handles dynamic range very well, meaning even in the most challenging cases.

In scenarios like shooting directly against sunlight, the pro-max is able to hold its own quite well and you end up with a very balanced image with very bright but still natural colors and with enough detail in the shadows and dark areas of the image . Those are my impressions, of course, for people who like more technical details and in-depth testing. I recommend checking out the dxomark website because those guys are specialists in camera tests and comparisons. Now let's talk about battery life. I am sure that what I am. I'm about to say it's pretty obvious, but I'll say it anyway.

The battery life on this phone is excellent, really, very, very good, and that is achieved thanks to the excellent software designed to get the most out of the hardware and of course, since this phone is larger, the battery is physically larger. big, so translating this into real life during my usage, I can use this phone for almost two days straight between charges, but there are approximately, considering the current lifestyles we are leaving lately without going out. Staying indoors too long says that most of the time you are connected to Wi-Fi, this of course plays a big role in the battery life of this phone between charges, of course longevity varies greatly from user to user to another and your lifestyle, however, this is the phone you can rely on if you are looking for a phone with longer battery life, so what do I think about this phone?

Well the promax is a great phone and needless to say the screen is amazing, it's bigger and brighter and the battery life is amazing. but it's the same thing that makes this phone amazing, the same thing I call it compensation. Let me explain, there are a few things you should consider when purchasing a phone as big as this, such as whether you have to hold it. This with two hands is a problem for you, then it will bother you and then you will take this phone when you go out with your pocket or on the back of your hands.

You must consider the size and weight of this phone. However, I am willing to accept the trade-offs to enjoy a bigger, brighter screen and an incredible battery, so purchasing this phone was a conscious decision that took me a while to make, so my recommendation is if you are thinking about purchase the professional model. max and you are not coming from a bigger phone, then try to go to a store and if possible, hold it in your hands and try it, see if it will be comfortable for you and then make a purchasing decision, that's all, I hope you have enjoyed. and I see it's no joke, I told you at the beginning of the video that I would tell you a good trick that I used to make this phone a little more manageable. check this out, yes there is a way to enable double tap. on the back of the iPhone to activate many functions, since I usually have to reach up to access the control center or have to use both hands to do so.

I have cytosine and a shortcut to activate the notification center. a double tap on the back, this is how you can do it, go to settings then scroll down to accessibility then find the tap then click on it and then scroll down to the bottom where you will see the option back tab , click on it and you will find two options, one for double tap, another for triple tap, click on it and you will find many interesting options that you can assign as a double tap on the back of the iPhone. In my case, I went ahead and selected control center. for double tap and notifications for triple technology, but you can go ahead and play with other options and see what works best.

Now you can access the control center and notifications without the manual gymnastics you would have to do even if you used the accessibility shortcut, guys that was it, I hope you enjoyed it and if you gave it a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe, Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time, he's calling me.
