The iPhone 12 Pro sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen. It is an upgrade from the 11 Pro, which had a 5.8-inch display with similar specs. The screen can peak up to a brightness of 1,200 nits and will not make you struggle with a dimmed screen as it will be reasonably bright outdoors. Apple introduced Ceramic Shield protection with the iPhone 12 Pro, which became a regular in the iPhones. The shield intends to offer better shatter resistance than its predecessor — 4x better, to be precise. The phone also supports multiple HDR modes — HDR 10, Dolby Vision, and HLG to give you larger-than-life picture quality with rich colours.

Processor and software
This outing of Apple features an A14 Bionic SoC, which is the best in this segment. Through the A14 Bionic, Apple proposed up to 50% enhancement in CPU and GPU performance. In the software department, the iPhone 12 Pro runs iOS 14.1 when launched, with a few cool upgrades from its predecessor. But if you are coming from 11 Pro, there is little of an add-on. However, the experience will surely elevate with further software updates from Apple.

Camera
Featuring their proprietary triple camera setup first featured in 11 Pro-iPhone 12 Pro is one of the best camera phones in the market. All three cameras have a 12MP sensor with wider apertures and are capable of clicking natural-looking photos retaining all the crucial details. One major upgrade from its predecessor is the iPhone 12 Pro's ability to record Dolby Vision HDR video in 4K 60fps. The Dolby Vision HDR video shots, coupled with the vivid display of the iPhone 12 Pro, are an absolute treat to the eyes. The low light photography in iPhone 12 Pro engages the night mode and fares out well in capturing the details. Where it excels, though, is its low light ultra-wide-angle shots, which make it way ahead of its predecessor.
