iPhone 15 Pro Max vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra — Ultimate Comparison!

these are the two best phones of the year the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max but which one is really the king I've used both of them tested everything and found something really interesting I want to say right off the bat that this is the first time that I'm switching to Android and feel completely at home usually I have to spend hours just into how it all looks and works but with Samsung everything is pretty much the same both phones are made out of titanium and give a similar Vibe though I would still say that the iPhone to me looks a bit more fashionable and stylish than the Samsung s24 Ultra is more professional and serious there's just one thing that I don't like about the design of it super sharp Corners the iPhone despite having flat size and glass does have rounded edges and Corners which makes it comfortable Samsung on the other hand is much more boxy sish and this makes it less comfortable to hold some people will like this but I'm not one of them though I can't ignore the fact that the display in the s24 ultra has traditional 90° Corners which makes it a bit more comfortable to watch YouTube videos on it also the camera cutout on Samsung is much smaller than on the iPhone it's just a cutout no fancy Dynamic islands and stuff personally I do like both of these approaches s24 Ultras cutout doesn't attract that much attention and can be easily ignored but the dynamic Island makes the cutout a significant part of the US experience what I do like more about the iPhone is that the cutout houses not only the selfie camera but also the face ID sensors which are much more secure than the face unlock on the s24 ultra while Apple uses a complicated array of sensors and Dot projectors Samsung just analyzes imagery from the selfie camera to determine whether it is your face facing the phone or not over the years of using iPhones I get so used to face ID that it took me some some time to adjust to the fingerprint reader on the s24 ultra and let me tell you this scanner is so fast you barely see the loog screen at all I feel like it unlocks before my finger actually touches the display that's how fast it is much faster than face ID which approach I like more hard to tell face ID to me is more convenient but the fingerprint scanner on the Samsung is just so much faster and overall I do like the display in the Samsung more it is much brighter at 2600 nits as opposed to to 201000 the 15 Pro Max s24 Ultra also has a special anti-glare coating which makes the display much less reflective so despite being pretty close technically the display of the Samsung just feels brighter and more vibrant and I like that a lot I think if Apple would ever do anti-reflective coating on the iPhone it would be a couple hundred option also these phones can be fragile so I choose to protect mine with queso's new aof Cloud Kush case quu sponsoring this video uses special technology that helps effectively absorb impact it's like having an airbag on all sides of the phone and the case is grippy and super convenient to hold there's also a useful kickstand and Max safe support this way it's not only functional but also convenient case this limited edition airof case has a special design with little 3D printed hearts inside the case you have my words always be there for you you have my heart I love you I think this case would be perfect Valentine's gift for your loved ones I will leave a link in the description so be sure to check it out and the s24 ultra has the Aspen it's this neat little stylus that I can just pop out the phone and for example scribble some notes I can also use it as a camera remote which is also pretty cool I feel like the display of the 15 Pro Max is big enough for not taking and it would be cool to see something similar from Apple some might say that the action button the the 15 Pro Max is an advantage 15 Pro as well but after using the latest iPhone for quite some time I can say that it's not really as useful as you might think it's not very functional unless you go absolutely crazy with shortcuts but right now Samsung is the winner here it gets more interesting when we flip the phones because the cameras in both of them are some of the best I've ever seen I don't want to go super deep into the specs megapixels uh pixel sizes and so on all in all boils down to processing and software for example Samsung by default shoots photos in 12 megapixels despite having a 200 megapix Main sensor the iPhone shoots at 24 megapixels with its 48 megap sensor this way the photos on the iPhone from the main sensor usually are crispier and have more details in them even in low light the iPhone takes decake the cameras in both are great but the processing is different Samsung tends to slightly brighter more exposed shots while usually keeps the Shadows somewhat dark technically the photos from the Samsung are better but realistically I like the photos from the iPhone a bit more they just look more natural and less processed also the dynamic range on the iPhone is usually a bit better on all cameras highlight treatment is also slightly better but where Samsung completely destroys the iPhone is the zoom because the 15 Pro Max has only one zoom lens 5x the s24 ultra has a 3X module and a 5x module which gives it more range and flexibility also the 5x camera on the Samsung has a resolution of 50 megapixels which allows it to crop in twice and get 10x shots no matter which Zoom I pick the Samsung will always have more detail and less of that watercolor look overall I'd say that the iPhone in terms of photos is more consistent than Samsung when you tap the shorter button on the iPhone you pretty much know what you get with Samsung it's always some sort of a lottery you either get an amazing picture or a subpar one you never know but this is what makes it exciting to shoot photos with Samsung yet where the iPhone is still unbeatable is in terms of videos no matter which camera you choose or which shooting mode the videos from the iPhone will look more consistent and better and I'm not talking about the resolution of videos but mostly about the consistency of colors and dynamic range on them Samsung likes to shift the exposure rapidly while shooting videos which in turn affects colors and the visual consistency of the video on the iPhone all these changes are more subtle and less noticeable though in terms of resolution Samsung clearly is the winner for example can shoot 8K videos and that is great for cropping while editing and slow motion videos and Samsung are also a bit better because it can shoot 4K 120 FPS the iPhone Peaks at 1080p to 40 FPS however you can shoot videos in log and progress so I would say that if you are serious about colors in your videos then the iPhone is a better choice but if you want to shoot a video and and have a ton of cro and flexibility then Samsung is your guy but it's not only about shooting photos and videos on Samsung it's also about editing them and here Samsung clearly has a lead because it packs a ton of AI features to transform the experience of using the phone for example I can slow down any videos in my library by just holding the finger on it and it doesn't matter whether the video was shot on this phone or on your first C quar the AI will analyze every single frame and then create new ones on the fight without me waiting a single second for everything to process I can even Save The Slowdown video and if any of my photos has annoying people in them I can erase them in a couple clicks I can also move stuff around on photos and AI will fill in all the blank spots the iPhone has no such features and the only thing I can do with photos and videos on the iPhone is just colors and exposure that's basically it huge win for Samsung but AI doesn't stop there on the s24 ultra because it has penetrated almost into every app on the phone the keyboard now can fix my spelling mistakes translate my text change its style and so on and it works in any app without a need to turn on anything the AI can also organize my notes and format them in a coherent and Visually pleasing way even the web browser and Samsung is AI powered it can summarize web pages for me translate them and I'm still not done because with the s24 ultra I can generate my own wallpapers making my phone unique and different this freedom of customizability on the Samsung is so vast that the iPhone doesn't even come close Samsung lets me customize the system in every possible way from fonts and icon colors to the style of any element like the volume indicator it's really like Lego said I can do whatever I want and no one will stop me feels quite liberating you know the iOS has its own quirks but they mostly have to do with the ecosystem Samsung doesn't have air drop so it won't be a good match for my MacBook I cannot also use my Apple watch with the Samsung to the full extent but I can use my or ring or the wood band or Garmin watch and the iPhone is just so familiar and convenient most of the time that I don't even think when I use it whereas with the Samsung I do have to think about camera mode setting up features in the settings and so on and so forth I'm not sure that we need to compare performance on these two phones both of them are rocking the latest chips they could get the iPhone has the a17 pro and the Samsung Snapdragon a gen 3 Samsung also has more RAM 12 gigs instead of 8 but when it comes to the actual user experience the phones are pretty much matched both are super fast and responsive all apps open almost instantly and it's just pure joy though the animations on Samsung are much faster and shorter than on the iPhone which sometimes can create the impression of a faster phone I wish Apple had an option to tweak the speed of animations I do like comparing these two phones they are so similar yet so different for example both have a huge battery and have amazing battery life but the Samsung in my use cases can survive a bit longer when my iPhone is already dead the s24 ultra still has 15 to 20% of battery left and I would say that this is pretty amazing so which one should you get should you switch to the s24 ultra if you have an iPhone I think that if you are an Android User or you've always wanted to try Android there is no better phone for that than this one it's a perfect combination of everything that Apple does right and the benefits of the Android and if you want to go for consistency and predictability then choose the iPhone it won't let you down and you will always know what to expect from it the s24 ultra is a surprise box while the 15 Pro Max is no surprises if you care about the money the iPhone is just a little bit cheaper right now but in a few months when Samsung goes in sale will be a better deal and in case you're also planning upgrading your laptop you might want to check out our video
