Galaxy S24 Ultra vs iPhone 15 Pro Max

Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a lot of improvements that are not evident at first. But they ultimately sum up to making it a truly premium phone — a good way to kick off 2024, for sure! How does it compare to the titan that is the iPhone 15 Pro Max? Well, it definitely steps on its toes! Maybe even more…

Why is everyone watching this video? WTF. As an iPhone user, he is talking about the same iphone function since iphone12 or older. There is no doubt S24 Ultra offers so much new tech. If it wasn't for the iphone ecosystem, there is no reason to buy an iphone.

Vivid screen mode is not working on s24. You can adjust nothing. Liars.

Samsung eco system currently is better than Apple. I'm not sure what your testing.

Samsung doesn’t have crash detection or updates at the same time as every other Samsung the way Apple does and AirTags are very useful, skin tones and faces look better on iPhone to those were my deciding factors I also would never have gone back to iPhone if they hadn’t adopted usb c so thank you Europe. I also find Apple care theft and loss invaluable and essential considering the top of the line iPhone in my country is $2899.00

I feel that a lot was missed by this review in terms of the ecosystem that Samsung offers. They have watches, tablets, and computers that are pretty decent. They even have home appliances and work well with the Google ecosystem. But even better, Samsung is more compatible with devices that are not Samsung. Apple degrades the experience with non-Apple experience, like reducing headphone audio quality down by not letting you use LDAC or aptX codecs. You also just have to go through more of a struggle to get Apple products to work with Windows or Android devices. Also, most reviews have shown the S24 Ultra to have better battery life than the iPhone 15 Pro Max in everyday use.

@9:40 you said Samsung Smart tags are ridiculously clunky.

So why didn't you mention Smart Tags 2 which are slimmer, better build quality than air tags AND have more features AND a battery that lasts twice as long?

You're also wrong about the Apple watch being the best and I can easily tell you why it isn't.

S24 Ultra rocks!!! Coming from the iPhone 14 Pro Max

Apple really gets a lot of mileage out of their seamless ecosystem. Samsung is trying but It's something they haven't quite figured out. Shame too since from a purely hardware perspective in comparing the actual devices, Samsung has been leaps and bounds ahead of Apple for year's now.

samsung is doing a good job if you ask me. thanks for the comparison.

[Desgeneratico]

Why are your "reviews" always full of your obviously apple-biased opinions/comments, rather than facts. You only find a couple of mild issues with the iphone and lots of critics about the S24, while your own video shows that if you were not a fanboy, the review would be way more positive towards the S24. Please do watch GSM Arena and learn a bit.

Iphone the new oversharpening King. Disgusting.

After switching to Samsung android since iPhone 4s, I unfortunately am switching from the S22 to iPhone 15 pro. imessage in the US is 95percent used and the texting between iPhone and android is a disaster. Hopefully later this year iphone adapts RCS but I cannot wait any longer. Farewell Samsung 😢
