Consumer Reports has named the iPhone 12 Pro Max in its list of the “best smartphones of 2021,” praising the device for its battery life, display, camera features, and more.
Announced last October, the iPhone 12 Pro Max was one of four new iPhones introduced during Apple’s “Hi, Speed” special event, featuring an all-new design with Ceramic Shield, LiDAR Scanner, Super Retina XDR display, and more.
While the 12 Pro Max will cost you $100 more than its smaller sibling, the 12 Pro, it packs in several more hours of battery life, a slightly larger display, and a 2.5x zoom camera that gets you just a hair closer to the action than the 12 Pro’s 2x camera. – On the flip side, the Max version is significantly heavier and can be tough to use one-handed, even for people with long fingers. If you’re wary of bulky phones, you might be happier with the 12 Pro.
Other devices in the list include Samsung’s Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G and OnePlus Nord N10 5G.
