All smartphones should adopt the anti-reflective coating of the Samsung IMO. I tried it in store and it's a game changer.

As a Samsung Knight and Samsung user that owns an S23 Ultra I'm so getting the S25 Ultra in Titanium JadeGreen to go with my Galaxy Watch Ultra including a galaxy ring

[SelithSanditha]

I have a feeling that we actually can use this for 7 years...

Wow MaxTech an apple fan, says Samsung is better, Apple needs to be scared and step up their games. As it takes a lot to convince an Apple user.

[megslive]

i dont think it really matters that much if you're an apple person then you'll stick to the iPhone no matter what and same with android

[StudyWithNika]

This is the first time I would choose Samsung's flagship phone over Apple's flagship iphone.

[davout]

The 8 Elite chip is insane. The P-cores are just 1 gen behind Apple now and their E-cores are clocked nearly 1GHz higher than Apple's E-cores

Slowly people have stopped bashing the s25 ultra after a few days of usage. I called it from the start this phone looks amazing and it will be phone of the year..

[largon]

Even though im getting the s25 ultra i have never cared about the geekbench speed. All of these phones are fast for every day task.

[lajoskovacs]

If you like IOS you won't buy a Samsung and vice versa if you like Android you will not buy an iPhone just because one parameter is better here than there, both are great phones. What's more, most of the time you can hardly tell the difference. Most users are loyal to the software and environment they are used to.

One huge improvement was one iu 7 which you didn't even mention.

Pre-ordered the S25 ultra. Switching over from iPhone 14 Pro Max. Can’t wait. I have a Galaxy Watch (1st edition) that I haven’t used in years so I’ll see if it pairs up nicely. If not then I’ll probably shop for another one

Typing this from an S25 ultra. I just traded in my very old Note 20 ultra for $1000 credit. Ill miss that phone but i love this new one.

I was never an apple fan. The phones always seemed too delicate, too small and too simplified.

The only thing that ever impressed me with the iphone was its camera. Which is no longer the case.

[dopethings]

Perfect review, most YouTubers have not been able to do justice with these comparisons, you were not biased and you really demonstrated how good Samsung really is!

[Nick-K]

This will hopefully light a fire under Apple. Force them to start trying again.

[ahmadyassine]

Thank you for this objective comparison. Wish your channel all the best!

[TheUnknownSpiderMan]

The only thing I don't like about the Samsung anti-glare display is that it is so good it actively disincentivizes you from using a screen protector. Because the screen protector is reflective.

[Adgale]

I still like the design of the iPhone more than any other. I also find its symmetry more pleasing to the eye.

[judenjilah]

That anti glare makes other OLED displays look like LCDs 😂

[orelvysnieves]

Which cover do you recommend for the S25 Ultra?
