I do as well, only reason I don't go with the Ultra over the plus is that it has a pen I don't see myself using and it's $300 more or so, so I can't justify the cost for the differences even though I'd prefer the ultra
@@Kiobao but camera is better on the Ultra with 200mp, it has aluminum built so easier to ding or scratch vs titanium on ultra, slightly smaller screen 6.7 vs 6.9, doesn't have 1TB option so ur stuck with only 512gb internal storage, slower charging so that's what $300 will get u ... 😂😂
@ I guess. I don't care too much about the camera too much, I'll likely have a case on my phone since I like grippy cases and I always get afraid of dropping my phone lol. Also, I would not use 1tb on my phone. my phone only has 128gb and I've been mostly fine with that, so I would be happy with 512 gb. So for me, practically, I'll miss out on slower charging, anti glare screen. I personally prefer a smaller screen so actually this is a boon to me, I feel the bigger phones feel awkward to have, I had a note 9 and it just felt too large to handle. Heck, if I'm to be honest, even the s25+ seems too large. I have the pixel 6 and prefer the size. So maybe I'd even be fine with a S25, idk. I kind of just want to wait until the S25 slim and see if that's actually using the new silicon battery to make it lighter since phone weight and screens being sorta smaller are 2 bigger issues for me. I just wish the trade offs weren't I lose out on anti glare and lesser cameras and other nice stuff.
Same, I was an iPhone man for years, but once I tried the s24U I was hooked. I can't say I'll never go back to Apple, but Samsung would have to mess up bad or Apple have a major breakthrough update for me to ever go back.
@@P__114 I am switching from the 14 Pro Max to the S25 Ultra and my reasoning was I was fed up of being messed about by Apple. The fact that the 14 Pro Max can't even get a smarter siri is a joke. I would use my voice assistant a lot even just to ask basic questions to but with Siri I can barely ask it to do anything. In my opinion any iPhone without the smarter siri (although I don't know how smart the smarter one is) isn't a smartphone anymore 😂 It is also nice to have a change too, both phones will take photos, videos, open apps and be able to game and that sort of stuff.
Did you use a coupon code. I also pre ordered and before I hit "buy" just Googled Samsung codes. First website I got gave a code starting with es...... I put it in and got a discount worth €225 off the phone (I got the earbuds too).
Basically the s25 ultra is objectively better but at this point flagship phones have gotten so good and so powerful that it's essentially up to subjective preference.
I think for many people it's really about what ecosystem you are bought into. I have been with android since the beginning, and switching over to Apple seems like it would be a big pain.
Ok, by far, this is the best review I have ever seen that is not leaning towards one or the other. Congratulations. I will start watching you for now on.
using s23U, dude its huge update from 23 to 25 , even from 24 to 25 its huge different for performance , for camera not but from snapdragon its different
@@faisalfath15Still, a switch from either the s23 or s24 to the s25 is not justifiable at all, just 2 or 3 more years and then it'll be an actual upgrade
@@faisalfath15 I actually wish I didnt trade my S23U for the S24+ Now Im trading that in for the Ultra and never switching to anything lower. I wish I had my S23U
So, in 2025, we're still doing this? Pitting one against the other? Have we not realized that it's never, "Which one is better?", rather it's, "Which one fits your needs and preferences?" It's not a matter of, "better or worse," it's just a user specific choice. It'll always be that way. 🤷🏾♀️ It's like asking, "Which is better, vanilla or chocolate ice cream?" Neither, the answer will always be based on what a person likes or prefers. 🤷🏾♀️
Nalied the design i agree, ordered the Jetblack aswell, but the 1tb since i dont think ill swap in the next 7 years. If my Samsung Note9 didn't die, probably i'd still be using it.
Finally an straight up honest review! Every other video I watched favored one or the other! This one gets right to it and has pros and cons for both phones. Good job dude💪
I am not Samsung fan but yesterday I went to samsung store and saw S25 ultra demo piece . I uploaded the short in my channel . I was totally impressed with design , speed of phone and bezels are super crazy thin. Titanium blue looks next level ❤. I might pre order it now ❤❤❤
Samsung user for life!! Currently have an S23+ and will be upgrading to the S25+ when it ships on Feb 7th (from T-Mobile). I noticed my S23+ has had some battery issues, not lasting like it used to. It also can't handle high end games like Honkai Star Rail or Infinity Nikki (HSR crashing during certain boss fights cuz of too much going on on the screen). Plus I don't think the S23+ will be able to handle FFXIV Mobile when it launches later this year. Also looking forward to the better camera features and capability! Thanks to T-Mobile for giving such a good deal to upgrade to the S25+ with the trade-in of my S23+.
@kylewright3484 Hmm, I imagine it would be, but I have no use for the S-Pen and it's a higher price point for the Ultra. But thanks for the suggestion anyhow! 🙂
Completely agree with this review. I just installed One UI 7 Beta 1 on my S24 Ultra. Mann, how beautiful! A whole world of change. So extremely customizable with chic and snappy looks. Tonight, I’ll flash Beta 2 and 3 as well on the device. I’m going to skip the S25 Ultra because I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade. With One UI 7, the S24 Ultra feels like brand new all over again.
My favorite features of Samsung Ultra phones are the S Pen w bluetooth and DEX. Give us back bluetooth S Pen because even though we don't use it, doesn't mean we don't want it.
@largon2008 "We don't use it" does NOT mean "We will never use it". Lots of people discover great uses for features they never really used before. I never used the Bluetooth Spen feature on my S24U until I discovered that it's a great way to navigate and remote control media I'm watching while I'm doing other stuff without having to pick up my phone or shout commands at it from across the room. It's also perfect for taking pictures for those same reasons. Do you really want to pose for a picture with some ridiculous palm gesture or shouting CHEESE at your phone when you can conveniently click a button? Whether there's value in that is obviously subjective, but that's the whole POINT to a feature.
@giovanysantiago5892 Don't know where you got this intel, probably from a best buy customer. iPhone’s USB input and output beats the Samsung’s. You mixed up the two numbers bud.
Sakitech, how could you use air gestures with the S25U? Other reviewers says that bluetooth is removed from S25U. Did you use a pen from an earlier phone eg. S24U?
Wait for s26 ultra or s27 ultra. There will be big improvements, especially for the s27 ultra. According to Chinese sources, there will be a 300 megapixel camera better battery and etc..
At 0.46, you state about leaving links to best prices and to the Samsung and iPhone. Pinned is the link to the Samsung . None is provided for the iPhone. This speaks a lot..
They're both flagships so you can't go wrong. The real choice is operating system. Apple is a one trick pony once you invest in their ecosystem, you invest in all of them. That's their biggest strength, and their greatest weakness. When they decide to change (and they don't warn you) all their products become obsolete.
Actually it’s to make the face id more useful and it contains multiple small cameras to achieve it, which I can understand why there’s a dynamic island rather than a punch-hole. However seems like leaks are saying they may go to a punch-hole design, so maybe they have the technology now to lower it?
@Yeetv1 but the face id wasn't useful to begin with. Normal face id makes it so you can unlock by looking at the phone. But Apple makes you swipe the screen after face id. So you might as well use a fingerprint sensor if you still have to use your finger lol.
To summarize this. Basically the S25 ultra makes people more attractive + smart while the iphone pro max actually makes someone less attracitve while lowering the mental acuity of everyone within 100 feet of them.
Don't worry friend, the S25 ultra will be available to the public soon and if you pick one up it will not only make you more attractive (regardles of if you already attractive or not) and will also make those braincells not only return, but quadruple.
Is not all about the design Software is the key, i can not get used to android, plus for construction ppl the finger print on samsung never works I cant live without the faceid to sign in in everything
I've already preordered the S25 Ultra, which I'll receive soon. Can't wait! I prefer the fingerprint scanner to Face ID becoz it gives me better control.
Moving from IPhone 13 Pro Max to Samsung S25 Ultra for the next likely 2 years. Really hope I’m not disappointed . Last time I switched from iPhone XR to Samsung S22 plus, I was left unsatisfied with the Samsung after 8 months of use, too many internal updates and poorer camera quality. Hopefully the ultra model keeps the premium feel for a longer while.
I have never had an iphone but going from ipad to galaxy tablet i do not really notice the apps degrade however ipad has a few more options in way of productivity options.
I wish Sansung would return the NOTE with the micro SD card slot for businesses and photographers so they could have the security of a removable backup drive. They also need a better line of accessories. Practically all the camera holders are customized for iPhone with little to none (only generic) developed for Samsung. That's likely the biggest drawback to redesigning the case and the major advantage to retaining the same shell.
They should both have 6000 mah batteries. The s25 should have mag safe by now?? How hard is it to put a ring of neodymium magnets around the wireless charger? Maybe apple has a lock on the supply?
idk how thick headed could you be iphone doesn't have a fkin spen attached to the iPhone that's why apple can afford to put magnetic rings and that's why samsung can't
Magsafe (Qi2 for android) interferes with the S pens functionality. It has something to do with the magnetic field, im not too sure on what it is exactly. but you can still use Qi2 magnetic cases as they dont interfere with the S pen technology.
Agreed they remove air gestures from spen, think they took Bluetooth away this to increase battery performance to save spending cost on a bigger battery. Still using a 5000mah battery sad.
Overall draw in performance is incorrect judgement, Saki. Samsung has the slight edge, you can say. Apple's better single core performance is for lighter tasks and older games. The multicore performance is what's needed on multi tasking and heavy, newer games, apps and exactly why one is purchasing a flagship phone. 12GB vs 8GB of RAM is also a significant edge.
Informative video 📸 Thank you 👍 Bro I'm a normal user, for long term use between 15pm and s24utra which one will be better? My main priority is only camera 📸
Have you seen in One UI Beta for S24 if the new sticker generator AI option in the text message exists? I saw it and Hayls World channel. While using S25.
Why doesn't anyone mention how the iPhone sounds cheap and hollow when you tap on the front with your fingernail? The Samsung (even far older ones) feel much more solid
I own the iPhone 16 Pro max. I have always liked the look of Samsung phones, but I’m just so deep into the Apple ecosystem at this point I can never see myself switching. I have my MacBook, Apple Watch, iPad, AirPods, and Apple TV. I would have to switch basically everything if I switched to Samsung.
It’s not like you’re missing much tbh. I switched from the Samsung ecosystem in 2023 to apple’s and the integration is much better, the features are better and far more useful to the regular user. Samsung has too many gimmicks and half baked stuff, full of bloatware and duplicate apps. If I ever leave Apple, I’ll be trying a pixel.
@ Yeah I’ll be sticking with Apple for the foreseeable future. I’m just too deep into the Apple ecosystem. I even pay for Apple One which gives me a bunch of the apple perks and 2TB of iCloud storage. I have thousands of photos and videos all saved in iCloud. So yeah….not going anywhere anytime soon. lol
This S25U has come out really well. Multi-core is already outperforming the iPhone, and graphics 3D mark extreme performance is also outperforming the iPhone. Single-core is also over 3,000. We know cameras are already good, and the low reflectivity allows us to see clear screens outdoors. This is a clear plus compared to other manufacturers. The camera magnification level is also great compared to other manufacturers. The different camera types are really satisfying. The new angular edges and thinned bezels are cool this time. And the availability of various Al features is also an advantage. And pre-booking would be a reasonable option
I’ve been on Samsung. It’s more capable for productivity but at the end of the day, I rarely used all the features. iPhone has the best ecosystem for most of my needs. Nothing can really touch Macbook Pros and iPads.
I’m so incredibly bored of iPhone so I’m going to try the S25 Ultra. Just want something different, my iPhone 14 Pro Max feels identical to the 16 Pro Max and I feel Apple just isn’t innovating much lately.
Samsung is a winner simply due to 1 factor, that is they go on sales. When they go on sales you can get a Ultra under $1000. For s24 ultra the lowest price i saw was about $700 range without trade in, pure discount during holiday or samsung week.
The S25 Ultra definitely convinced me There is something new with every new Ultra series With the Pro Max there are hardly any differences from the previous version apart from small things that nobody needs anyway I would say that the S25 Ultra is the king of 2025 phones Anyone who says otherwise is just an Apple fanboy or a fan of other manufacturers
Has anyone tried the satellite connectivity on either phone? I have a s23,been wanting to upgrade for the satellite connectivity as i work in the woods and loose cell service on Verizon and T mobile. I like my s23 but i would like to stay connected. Is it worth upgrading yet? Or wait?
Faster Charging: I use MagSafe primarily to recharge my device at least 95% of the time by using a MagSafe mount in my car as well as on my nightstand so faster wireless recharging is much more important to me. Better Design: completely subjective considering the fact that Samsung continues to emulate iPhone design unabashedly (the Ultra now have flat edges that now match the 4+ year iPhone 12 Pro I'm still using!). Camera Features: for point and shoot with minimal tinkering, which would apply to the majority of smartphone users, you can't beat the iPhone or go wrong with either device. S-Pen: this just isn't a compelling reason as most who even have this rarely use it when they can accomplish 99% of tasks with the fingers they were born with AI Features: again, not a compelling reason either way; I can load Gemini onto my iPhone 12 Pro to tap into AI as well as ChatGPT and others Superior Display: we could give the nod to the Ultra on this one as they've always had excellent displays but we're splitting hairs on display quality on just about any device from the last 4 years; the anti-reflective coating is a nice touch though. Complex Software Features: similar to my remarks above on the camera - most users aren't interested in tinkering or getting under the hood. They just want the device to work and function without having to invest a lot of previous time figuring it out; moreover, Apple has implemented a lot of software features in iOS allowing users to customize their devices more so now than ever before OR leave such features completely inactive.
I have s21 ultra, and my personal thought is that ok is faster has pen etc but for my use s21 ultra is similar, design is super but this year i decided to keep my s21 ultra and buy a 16 pro for try and have both, Samsung for all the customization and work and a daily small performance phone
There is always one who cannot acknowledge that the new chipset is not performing favorably. This year, the Snapdragon chipset is demonstrating superior performance. Please present objective evidence to dispel any biased opinions.
Do you think Samsung will release an S-pen with Bluetooth and battery for the S25 Ultra? It has been a disappointment for me and I have already pre-ordered the phone
I have an iPhone and s24 ultra… I can say that the galaxy have better screen and smoother because of the animations. But i always be an apple guy so I love as well my iPhone 16 pro max
Im seeing a lot of different things about the wireless charging on the s25 ultra... samsung says 25w with their cases buy not a single reviewer seems to mention that it does support 25w. I pre ordered because it supported 25w charging with the qi2 standard and was under the impression as long as you have a case to support it then it does support that speed.

At 0.46, you state about leaving links to best prices and to the Samsung and iPhone. Pinned is the link to the Samsung . None is provided for the iPhone. This speaks a lot..
Long story short they are both great phones 💯💯
They're both flagships so you can't go wrong. The real choice is operating system. Apple is a one trick pony once you invest in their ecosystem, you invest in all of them. That's their biggest strength, and their greatest weakness. When they decide to change (and they don't warn you) all their products become obsolete.
I’ve been an iPhone user for seven years. This phone has made me officially switched over. I just pre-ordered it today. ❤
Iphone needed to fix that notch 5 years ago
They want to be different tbh
@@jblazer49 😂
Actually it’s to make the face id more useful and it contains multiple small cameras to achieve it, which I can understand why there’s a dynamic island rather than a punch-hole. However seems like leaks are saying they may go to a punch-hole design, so maybe they have the technology now to lower it?
@Yeetv1 but the face id wasn't useful to begin with. Normal face id makes it so you can unlock by looking at the phone. But Apple makes you swipe the screen after face id. So you might as well use a fingerprint sensor if you still have to use your finger lol.
I love the Faceid, would not change it for a full screen. Faceid makes everything seemless, banking just flyes on without noticeing
You got it wrong, bud. The S25u got the 25w qi wirelessly charging, and the iphone 16pm only had 15w. You did a very good job comparing those phones.
He didn't get it wrong.
He just didn't mention the wireless charging 😂
@@EjinPagh he did at the end
Yeah, it doesn't have magsafe though
To summarize this.
Basically the S25 ultra makes people more attractive + smart while the iphone pro max actually makes someone less attracitve while lowering the mental acuity of everyone within 100 feet of them.
Fanboy.
Brilliant! 😂
Reading this made me lose half of my brain cells because how wrong this is.
❤😂👍🏻
Don't worry friend, the S25 ultra will be available to the public soon and if you pick one up it will not only make you more attractive (regardles of if you already attractive or not) and will also make those braincells not only return, but quadruple.
Is not all about the design
Software is the key, i can not get used to android, plus for construction ppl the finger print on samsung never works
I cant live without the faceid to sign in in everything
You mean you don't want to get used to it?
I've already preordered the S25 Ultra, which I'll receive soon. Can't wait! I prefer the fingerprint scanner to Face ID becoz it gives me better control.
My favourite reviewer class like always mate
Awesome comparison video
12:13 "here is my ugly face" 😂😭
Moving from IPhone 13 Pro Max to Samsung S25 Ultra for the next likely 2 years. Really hope I’m not disappointed . Last time I switched from iPhone XR to Samsung S22 plus, I was left unsatisfied with the Samsung after 8 months of use, too many internal
updates and poorer camera quality. Hopefully the ultra model keeps the premium feel for a longer while.
Samsung for sure , but I miss the old features of the note 9 and my s10 plus
I have never had an iphone but going from ipad to galaxy tablet i do not really notice the apps degrade however ipad has a few more options in way of productivity options.
Nice review
I wish Sansung would return the NOTE with the micro SD card slot for businesses and photographers so they could have the security of a removable backup drive.
They also need a better line of accessories. Practically all the camera holders are customized for iPhone with little to none (only generic) developed for Samsung. That's likely the biggest drawback to redesigning the case and the major advantage to retaining the same shell.
Saki, can you try to pairSPen from old Ultra to S25?
Maybe we can have BT options?
Doesn't work. Bluetooth is gone, confirmed by samsung exec.
I miss the 4k resolution on your video. It makes a huge difference.
They should both have 6000 mah batteries. The s25 should have mag safe by now?? How hard is it to put a ring of neodymium magnets around the wireless charger? Maybe apple has a lock on the supply?
idk how thick headed could you be iphone doesn't have a fkin spen attached to the iPhone that's why apple can afford to put magnetic rings and that's why samsung can't
maybe because magsafe is an apple tech and they cant use it!
Magsafe (Qi2 for android) interferes with the S pens functionality. It has something to do with the magnetic field, im not too sure on what it is exactly. but you can still use Qi2 magnetic cases as they dont interfere with the S pen technology.
Traded in my iPhone 15 pro for s25 ultra! Been an iPhone user for a long time and got bored of it.
The removal of Bluetooth from the s pen saved me £1300, big feature use it all the time.
For what?
Agreed they remove air
gestures from spen, think they took Bluetooth away this to increase battery performance to save spending cost on a bigger battery. Still using a 5000mah battery sad.
samsung one ui 7 and the display pro scaler also anti glare gorila armor is gonna be the killer for some ppl. excelent
I can’t see the link for I phone pro max on my I pad ?
The s25 ultra's specs alongside the refined Android OS defo takes the W.
Overall draw in performance is incorrect judgement, Saki. Samsung has the slight edge, you can say. Apple's better single core performance is for lighter tasks and older games. The multicore performance is what's needed on multi tasking and heavy, newer games, apps and exactly why one is purchasing a flagship phone. 12GB vs 8GB of RAM is also a significant edge.
A review is an opinion. It can't be incorrect.
I have iPhone 16 pro max, played with the s25 ultra today, loved it and ordered the jet black one.
Informative video 📸
Thank you 👍
Bro I'm a normal user, for long term use between 15pm and s24utra which one will be better?
My main priority is only camera 📸
How can I get those wallpapers?? Please
You mentioned S25 can charge to 60% in 1 hour but someone did a test on UA-cam live this week and it went from 0% to 100% in 57 minutes
It's one hour to 100%.
Have you seen in One UI Beta for S24 if the new sticker generator AI option in the text message exists? I saw it and Hayls World channel. While using S25.
How did you get the bmw widget on the s25? I need that for my X4M
Can you compare the s25 plus with the comparable iPhone, please.
Why doesn't anyone mention how the iPhone sounds cheap and hollow when you tap on the front with your fingernail? The Samsung (even far older ones) feel much more solid
exactly! iphone feels like a cheap plastic screen.
Underrated feature is being able to open multiple apps in a floating window
I own the iPhone 16 Pro max. I have always liked the look of Samsung phones, but I’m just so deep into the Apple ecosystem at this point I can never see myself switching. I have my MacBook, Apple Watch, iPad, AirPods, and Apple TV. I would have to switch basically everything if I switched to Samsung.
I’m in the same boat I pre ordered one with the buds to see if that’s enough to get me started to switching everything I won’t know until February
It’s not like you’re missing much tbh. I switched from the Samsung ecosystem in 2023 to apple’s and the integration is much better, the features are better and far more useful to the regular user. Samsung has too many gimmicks and half baked stuff, full of bloatware and duplicate apps. If I ever leave Apple, I’ll be trying a pixel.
@ that’s why I canceled my preorder it was exciting at first but it’s really not practical with the smooth integrations I already have going
@ Yeah I’ll be sticking with Apple for the foreseeable future. I’m just too deep into the Apple ecosystem. I even pay for Apple One which gives me a bunch of the apple perks and 2TB of iCloud storage. I have thousands of photos and videos all saved in iCloud. So yeah….not going anywhere anytime soon. lol
This S25U has come out really well. Multi-core is already outperforming the iPhone, and graphics 3D mark extreme performance is also outperforming the iPhone. Single-core is also over 3,000. We know cameras are already good, and the low reflectivity allows us to see clear screens outdoors. This is a clear plus compared to other manufacturers. The camera magnification level is also great compared to other manufacturers. The different camera types are really satisfying. The new angular edges and thinned bezels are cool this time. And the availability of various Al features is also an advantage. And pre-booking would be a reasonable option
If that's important to you and something you use. It isn't for everyone. In fact, its not for most users.
I’ve been on Samsung. It’s more capable for productivity but at the end of the day, I rarely used all the features. iPhone has the best ecosystem for most of my needs. Nothing can really touch Macbook Pros and iPads.
When comparing displays turn off true tone on iPhone and max the brightness, the brightness scale is different between them.
I’m so incredibly bored of iPhone so I’m going to try the S25 Ultra. Just want something different, my iPhone 14 Pro Max feels identical to the 16 Pro Max and I feel Apple just isn’t innovating much lately.
Samsung look make me 😦😮i have to switch, it look amazing and the fact that it beat iphone on many things. Thanks for the review
Samsung is a winner simply due to 1 factor, that is they go on sales. When they go on sales you can get a Ultra under $1000. For s24 ultra the lowest price i saw was about $700 range without trade in, pure discount during holiday or samsung week.
The removal of air actions is so stupid
Agreed
Not really stupid when many ppl weren't using it 🤷♂️
They could remove the spen, and I wouldn't care
@@alejandrosilva9683 Then you're not a Note user. Get the + and stay away from the Ultra 😂
@@alejandrosilva9683 good for you, I've used it since the note 4
12:15 here is my ugly face was hilarious 😂 😃 😄 😁 🤣
The iPhone takes 24mp photos most of the time instead of 12mp iPhone will allways look better
I wish you had talked about the noise cancelling softwares
Galaxy S25 Ultra is so much better! ps: iam a iphone 16 pro user
The S25 Ultra definitely convinced me
There is something new with every new Ultra series
With the Pro Max there are hardly any differences from the previous version apart from small things that nobody needs anyway
I would say that the S25 Ultra is the king of 2025 phones
Anyone who says otherwise is just an Apple fanboy or a fan of other manufacturers
Does Nova launcher work with the Now Bar?
The front camera on the iPhone looks utterly disgusting you lose so much of the screen
Has anyone tried the satellite connectivity on either phone? I have a s23,been wanting to upgrade for the satellite connectivity as i work in the woods and loose cell service on Verizon and T mobile. I like my s23 but i would like to stay connected. Is it worth upgrading yet? Or wait?
Nice work…Which is better for iPhone 16 pro max or Samsung S25 ❔
Faster Charging: I use MagSafe primarily to recharge my device at least 95% of the time by using a MagSafe mount in my car as well as on my nightstand so faster wireless recharging is much more important to me.
Better Design: completely subjective considering the fact that Samsung continues to emulate iPhone design unabashedly (the Ultra now have flat edges that now match the 4+ year iPhone 12 Pro I'm still using!).
Camera Features: for point and shoot with minimal tinkering, which would apply to the majority of smartphone users, you can't beat the iPhone or go wrong with either device.
S-Pen: this just isn't a compelling reason as most who even have this rarely use it when they can accomplish 99% of tasks with the fingers they were born with
AI Features: again, not a compelling reason either way; I can load Gemini onto my iPhone 12 Pro to tap into AI as well as ChatGPT and others
Superior Display: we could give the nod to the Ultra on this one as they've always had excellent displays but we're splitting hairs on display quality on just about any device from the last 4 years; the anti-reflective coating is a nice touch though.
Complex Software Features: similar to my remarks above on the camera - most users aren't interested in tinkering or getting under the hood. They just want the device to work and function without having to invest a lot of previous time figuring it out; moreover, Apple has implemented a lot of software features in iOS allowing users to customize their devices more so now than ever before OR leave such features completely inactive.
I have s21 ultra, and my personal thought is that ok is faster has pen etc but for my use s21 ultra is similar, design is super but this year i decided to keep my s21 ultra and buy a 16 pro for try and have both, Samsung for all the customization and work and a daily small performance phone
There is always one who cannot acknowledge that the new chipset is not performing favorably. This year, the Snapdragon chipset is demonstrating superior performance. Please present objective evidence to dispel any biased opinions.
Do you think Samsung will release an S-pen with Bluetooth and battery for the S25 Ultra? It has been a disappointment for me and I have already pre-ordered the phone
I have an iPhone and s24 ultra… I can say that the galaxy have better screen and smoother because of the animations. But i always be an apple guy so I love as well my iPhone 16 pro max
The Samsung is smoother because it is a throttled 120hz display. The iPhone is variable, staying between the 90-100 fps mark
@@LuisEnriqueCabrera93 what a joke iphone is smoother only ok
@@Janigamerg ammm nop s24 ultra it's smoother. Try one.
@LuisEnriqueCabrera93 Apple has been working on a throttle feature for iPhones with promotion. That smoothness is going to be on iPhones too.
Samsung...❤
All depends on the taste of each person if you like Samsung or if you like Apple .
Im seeing a lot of different things about the wireless charging on the s25 ultra... samsung says 25w with their cases buy not a single reviewer seems to mention that it does support 25w. I pre ordered because it supported 25w charging with the qi2 standard and was under the impression as long as you have a case to support it then it does support that speed.
