Watching this in my s25 ultra, everything feels so snappy and happy, good work Samsung
same bro, got it from T-Mobile.
I prefer my s25u over my 16pm. Ive had so many bugs with my iPhone when supposedly its supposed to be the smoother OS. I find one ui to be smoother, snappier and more interesting overall. The s25u is so snappy with its animations and navigating the phone that it makes my iPhone feel almost lazy.
Totally agree, it's all about preference!
yes i got mine today and the s25u is so much better than my 16pm
Basically any Android wins for me. Samsung, Pixel, One Plus, Vivo..., but the Galaxy Ultra's win me over because of the SPEN.
I think iPhones are great if you like the OS, don't card about multi-tasking, clipboard, number row on Keyboard, etc.
The new s25u s-pen is basically half of an s-pen (electronically). The S24u s-pen is at this point the last proper s-pen
A small correction: Samsung uses 8-bit + FRC to simulate a 10-bit panel's color depth. Therefore, the difference between Samsung's 8-bit display and the iPhone's 10-bit display will be unnoticeable.
What's frc?
@asianstud7 Frame Rate Control
@ Thanks. So how does FRC make a 8 bit panel seem like a 10 bit?
I like your style of comparing the phones with sprinkle of humour 😅
Thank you! Hahahah
I have both and love them. But I like the 25 ultra a little bit more.
Wort changing the iphone 14 max pro for the samsung?
@@marcind4644 worth for everything. Gaming not so...
@@marcind4644 yes definitely
which have better battery
@alexerk444 The iphone 16 pro max has the better battery. But the s25 ultras battery is good.
Apple and Samsung really afraid of battery blowing out issues that’s why both companies are afraid of given fast charging speeds on their phones
which is fine as long as the battery life is great and I only have to charge it once a day
45 charging is quite fast considering the phone battery lasts 2 days or so
S
Established brands, so much to lose
If I only have to charge the phone once a day, I don’t care.
I was gonna get the S24 Ultra but changed my mind the last minute for the S25 Ultra. I ordered the Titanium Silverblue 😁
You funny dude apple is worst when it comes to AI 😢😢😢
He said it was bad lol
Looks like someone didn't really watch the video
I appreciate you dude
Great video. My family and I picked the iPhone 16 because of the family integration. Having all the Apple apps like Find My, Check In, I used Crash Detection in November 2024 and it worked 😅. Apple Card, Apple Fitness, and Apple Music for the family. I message and FaceTime along with us all having other devices like AirPods Pro 2 for concerts… I absolutely can’t use anything else but an iPhone. It’s just too good.
Totally makes sense! Apple does a great job with their ecosystem. It's really good!!
Great comparison man 💪🏻 regards to display brightness although the specs say different the iPhone does gets brighter in real life, can be seen in your examples as well.
I love you man. Keep it up 👍🏾
Depends on the user. Samsung is better for customisation but most people don’t use it. My wife had the same wallpaper (default) for years when she had a Samsung. 😂 She wouldn’t even know half the features existed. Just wants something that works .
What are you using as a daily driver now? The Galaxy’s are cool but I’m pretty much iOS for the foreseeable future just due to having all of the family on them, iCloud etc.
Honestly....I swear to goodness...I don't know how anyone can use a Iphone in the 2020s. I don't get it. Not enough features and cant' even MULTI TASK? WTF...hahaha. Yeah they got a great deal with social media apps and their video camera is elite but that's it, folks.
hello Mark you such a good video maker , honestly one of my favorite RUclipsr , because of you :) I m a huge apple fan boy and you convinced me to make a trade to get the S25 ultra
how about the ecosystem at this point AWU HOME POD MACBOOK AIR ETC 16 pro , just kidding I have to try the S25U for real keep going like this
I don't have the s25 Ultra but I do have the s24 skipped the upgrade this time around. I'm more enthused with my OnePlus 13 that I have.
I'm not surprised. They're great phones.
They should unite, the AI from samsing , battery from 1+ and OS from apple... etc...
I am so confused between these two phones and i really am kinda thinking to buy i16 pro max but then i think some features are better in S25 Ultra and Mark please help me decide
No doubt Samsung it’s ahead of the game with their AI.. shame on Apple 🤨
*with Google’s AI you mean
We need social media app camera test
LOL@the laughter at 5:05😂😂😂😂😂😂 And they just got USB C last year? WTF is going on? This is ABSOLUTELY absurd.
Everyone says that there won't be any more news. But well, the S24 has an anti-reflective screen, and everyone is talking about it until now, both in the S24 and in the S25 Ultra.
bro i didnt come here accidentally😂i am ur regular viewer, but ur sense of humour🥃💯
Haha you know what's up! 😎
Just received my S25 Ultra in the silverblue. Love the phone. I also have an iphone. I couldnt believe how good the 5 times zoom was.
I'm married to iphone and have a maxxed 16 pro max. The OS is organic for me and integrates with my computer and others plus airdrop. But Geez siri is still lame, the new AI stuff is a joke and fairly useless. WTF apple, Lets get the next generation AI to bring Steve Jobs back from the dead and fix apple. What are they doing with their vast stash of cash? WTF when some ugly emoji is a selling point? Where is the innovation? I though apple AI would be a selling point but it's like out of a fraudulent advertisement on facebook, i though apple was supposed to be cool
and I had to buy mine from Friggen austalia because in the US you can't buy one with a Sim slot and my international traveling needs that
Geez. It's like marrying a fine woman and she ages badly
Daily driver i use iP16P, for 2ndary phone the S25U, but i have the Magic7 Pro aswell, bc was unmissable deal…but yeah, still love the iPhone❤ but its okay all🎉
Great video. You went through all with a great sense of humour.
Both are great phones. But i would go to the S25 Ultra.
Keep up the good work 🤜🤛 Mark
I hate apple. They doesn’t do enough for their consumers
Don’t do enough not doesn’t
Great video thanks. I think Apple would have done better to ignore AI and stick to what they do best, simplicity and ease of use. Their implementation of AI is embarrassing - the most satisfaction I get from the 16 Pro Max is setting the action button to open Google Gemini. Now have the S25 Ultra and despite the whining from other reviewers because some of the specs are the same as before, in day to day use it is absolutely brilliant. I think my iPhone may end up on Ebay.
200mp is not a gimmick. Only use the 200mp if your taking an architecture, nature related, or structures with complex design. Use it only if the picture you are taking is bright (well lit)! 200mp is not great for low light because it is multiplying the larger to small pixels to make a detailed shot.
Totally agree! 200MP is powerful but best for specific situations.
Came here after your tweet about object eraser went viral
Hey Mark, i have been using google photos on my iphone for quite some time - the AI editor, thus i have mentioned magic eraser and all that comes with that AI editor. You can have it on any phone. But in general, yes, Apple is a joke when it comes down to AI 😂
You can even load the dedicated Gemini app to iPhone and open it with the with action button at a moments notice
@ yup. Have that configured as well.
16 pro max for me as I changed to iOS for a change for my personal choice
Nothing wrong with that at all!:)
sometimes you have to experience shit to appreciate good. 😋
@@MarksTechI’ve had many different iPhones in the past but rn I have the 14 pro but I’m having battery issues with mine
So as someone who's owned both Apple and Samsung and loved both I currently sport(tired of saying 'rockin') the 16 Pro because of the app experience. I just find the quality of apps worlds better on iOS and so too developer engagement. Apps getting developed for Android fall far down on the priority list and apps that are in the store now are often neglected. That AI on the Ultra is SO much better though. I also miss the S-Pen. Sigh.
One thing that it is not said enough is that iPhones don’t have 120hz refresh rate enabled all the time. In everyday task like scrolling typing etc it’s like 90hz or something and it’s bothering me so much. I PAID FOR THE 120HZ LET ME USE ITTT AHHH
Facts but a lot of people really don't care much. At least Apple should provide us a toggle to enable 120hz at all times or not.
what about a video using the pre config camera option like contrast, color tom etc on S25 Ultra to photos looks closer a DSLR camera?
the comparative videos shows the Galaxy S25 Ultra over sharped and over saturated… but the white is a real white
the iPhone 16 Pro Max looks more closer to a professional camera with less sharpness, more contrast, the white is more warm, and the final colors is more natural
I want to switch to S25 Ultra, but with photos that look more professional e less like smartphone picture
I still use my one plus 12 and the S24 ultra pixel 9 pro xl and a iPhone 16 pro max 1tb for everyday use
S25 ultra is king. Coming from my iPhone 16 pro max.
100% Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, I love mine so bad.
The AI engine is basically Googles’. Samsung’s Magic Editor is essentially Google’s Magic Editor aka Imagen. I’ve been using all these for a year already on my Pixel 😂.
The magic eraser shots are crazy. I likely wont use it, but I have been using the video to gif maker on my Samsung and its pretty easy. Im not sure if iphone has something similar.
Oooooo yeah that's a dope feature too!
Okay so I'm a ride-or-die Apple user. I have the HomePod, the AirPods Max, the Mac Mini, the iPad 13", you name it. I'm mad at Apple for limiting the AI features on my iPhone 15 Pro Max completely arbitrarily and so the company can try to lure its customers into buying another top-of-the-line phone this year. There's no reasonable reason why my phone shouldn't have the same AI features as the 16 Pro Max. It feels like a punch in the gut, and I'm considering switching to Android in the future because of it. Thank you for the honest and thorough review.
same here
Dude I just want to text in Shakespearean in Gemini like my android buddies 😢😅
Love my s25 Ultra, feels so smooth and faster than my s24 Ultra ever did.
You charge that phone with a 45 watt charger...it gets to 75% while I'm showering when I wake up with it being dead.
Yeah, he definitely did not test the fastest charger option on each.
You need a usb-c - usb-c cable, and use a fast wall charger with the right specs to fit the max the device will allow.
I used a 100w charger 😳
It's definitely not 1 hr with the S25 Ultra. I use 45 watts.
😂😂apple fanbois not gonna like this comparison, i wish i had waited for the s25 ultra🥺🥺 upgraded to the ip16 from s21+....buggy af device,crap...
I have the 14 pro I’ve had Apple for awhile but I’m starting to notice some issues
This is my second year trying to get on the Sammy wagon! I love the S25 Ultra. But, again, I'm hitting the same roadblock. The videos are so bad compared to the iPhone. I'm always hiking and camping. One of the reasons I love it is the zoom features for wildlife shots. But when it comes to shooting videos, even when I use it in a manual, it is always overexposed, over-sharpened, and darkened. I might switch back to my dinosaur, iPhone 15 Pro Max, again. Meh!
Using both, Samsung is an easy winner in a lot of departments..no offense to iPhone…still a great phone though, just less fun to use.
Agreed. I feel the same way.
@@MarksTech Totally feel the same as well. Using 15 pro max for like 1 year. Also have used Z fold 6 and S 24 Ultra. Preordered the S 25 Ultra and i m gonna sell my 15 pro max. Android is much more usefull and fun when it comes to daily routines and also for working.
Should i upgrade from my s23 ultra does it worth it for gaming?
I think it would be a great upgrade, especially from the s23 ultra. You will notice a massive difference.
@MarksTech thanks bro i was thinking of upgrading since SD elite chip. it's faster
Having to love the weirdest one more is so funny 😂😂😂
Switching from 15 Pro Max to S25 in Titanium black/515 gb. Can't wait.
That color is amazing! You're gonna love it.
iPhone for the win. Can’t live without Face ID.
This shit was funny 🤣 But yeah S25 Ultra! Mine should be here tomorrow! 🫠
Heck yeah! You're going to love it
Already got mine, dude you are in for a treat, brace yourself
For me it always comes down to the app experiences as thats what you spend most your time in, IOS Apps VS Android apps so until Android can have apps that feel polished and great UX outside of the popular ones I will stay with IOS for a better UX.
🔔 Hey Mark Galaxy has 10 Bit Display FRC Tech
..
(8 Bit + 2 Bit FRC Tech which is used in professional
& commercial monitors,TV, etc) that's why they
call it Dynamic Display
No its 8-bit. Look at the official website about s25 ultra specifications
@AllConcord they use FRC Tech that's why by default its 8bit written as most content are in 8bits and it will show 10bit on 10bit contents automatically ( same tech is used in TVs as well )
@@i_roverlust it's like AC but it's switching the colors to make it more colorful. Ah I see because HDR10 requires 10-bit depth so Samsung the FRC technique to simulate 10 bit colors.
@@AllConcord kind of its basically use interpolation technology
Anyone know why I can't activate rts on my s25 ultra?
Although we are hardcore Samsung users, I still prefer the iPhone's videos and photos. We are going to upgrade in about 3 years, hopefully Samsung will have caught up by then.
Went from years of using Samsung to using Apple for years. Finally going back to Samsung this time around.
Iphone fanboy. But apps run better and have more support
Android fanboy. You can customize your phone the way you like it
Me watching from the sideline owning both
"But apps run better and have more support"; ehhhhhh. not really.
@@JSLEnterprisesandroid fanboy detected, now we need an iphone fanboy
Always Samsung
Hey Mark did you get new goodlock home up please 🙏 make a video a lot of people don't know. ❤
Love your review
Samsung overall best phonr in the phone industry ❤
As an android guy ,I will go with The 16 pro max
Wait for iPhone 17 Pro Max
Only thing holding me on the IPhone 16pm is the camera
Easy pick ultra for me 😁
Give apple 2025 and you'll see Apple topple Samsung.
Galaxy s25 ultra
👑 Samsung 👑
That Iphone object remove was ☠☠☠
Had me weak
It reminds me of Samsungs first effort with it lol glad they finally got it right
There are no winners except Apple and Samsung. You are the mark. You're paying £1500 for a phone that cost less than £50 to manufacture. If you're on a contract, you're even more a victim. Want to be in control? Buy a used smartphone or even better, get yourself a basic phone for less than £100 and free yourself from your screen.
Meanwhile……sitting down staring at screen watching videos.
Have to have waterproofing and wireless charging for various reasons, but my backup phone is a Samsung A series
@@Sleepeaze Actually standing up, while I was cooking dinner and waiting for some basmati rice to boil. Watching this on a great value Chinese pad that cost £90.
@@vg9073 so you haven’t broken free from the screen, you just went with a worse one. 👍
Commenting before I've finished the video 😂
i’m here before mark
4:39????
One thing Mark, when a women gains weight & eats like that. Its bcz she's been a marriage 😂 women lose weight while single, my friend, especially after a long relationship.
iphone has now app lock does samsung has it besides thier useless secure folder?
your laughter is fake
I guess the reason for Samsung not having Dolby Vision is their rivalry with LG. It's the same with their TVs
But Samsung supports hdr10+ while iphone doesn't, or am I wrong? It's the same with LGs TVs
So basically, if you watch content in Netflix the iphone has better hdr. But if you watch something on Amazon, the Samsung has better hdr...
But I am not 100% sure about iphone and hdr10+ ...maybe it has ist, but I won't think so...just the standard hdr10
iPhone does support HDR 10+ because it's an open source platform which requires no licensing fees.
So if I'm watching content on Amazon prime for example, it will be playing in HDR 10+
IPhone loses again 😂
I've had all the latest s flagships and note flagships since galaxy s2 and the first note and now i have the s24 ultra and let me tell you for the first time i won't be upgrading to gett the s25 ultra, seriously this is the worst upgrade anyone has ever done not just samsung and not just phones, im talking cars and planes and tvs and everything. I don't understand what this is compared to the s24 ultra. Faster chip ? Yeah wow like we need faster chip. Upscaling video contents ? Changed design, and what 50mp ultrawide lens. I can't believe i use to make fun of apple that they don't do anything but this one has destroyed everything. They even removed the bluetooth from the s pen. I'll wait for s26 ultra, hopefully they'll do something with faster charging, better night video to match the iphone, better pitchdark nightmode like on huawei, better privacy options, that secure folder is a joke.
WHOA...the s24 Ultra was the phone of the year. The s25 Ultra is an improvement on that with cameras and battery...but it loses bluetooth Spen. It's definitely not some terrible uprgrade. Especially for $430. If you got the s24 Ultra, you don't need to upgrade though.
@@Mickieshelton 430$ and take your old phone too so thats not a great deal if you have the s24 ultra or even s23 ultra especially if they're in perfect condition.
S25 ultra love my phone!
I love iphone only because of the stability of the video. I really want Samsung to learn how to shoot videos so stably, but they can't do it yet:(
S25u easy
🔥
Pixel 9 pro xl is the best all around android phone !!! and cheaper
Slower processor, worse screen, worse bare bones UI, not very good videos... Nope.
@panathatube pixel phones at least get updated software unlike Samsung horrible speed on that and why take a feature away from the device (Bluetooth spen) ?? Just because you think people don't use it !!
@dough202 The new Samsung phones get monthly security updates. Do you get the new version of Android in Samsung phones a couple of months later? Yes but you're getting a lot more useful features like lock screen widgets, stackable widgets or big folders. And Google has removed unlimited photos storage or free VPN
Dude no it's worse in every way except for a little better camera 😂
@@JamesThomas-dn6ee seems like every phone has some kind of issue it's becoming horrible especially for the prices of these devices I just want my iPhone 5
I love android but this Samsung 😢 disappointed us (one plus 13 pro beasts )even iso 18 is a mess I am still keeping my iPhone
its all about the operating system and the apple system all across the board laptop tablet and phone
Lol Samsung has a huge eco system that includes all that and more and it all works well together Samsungs one UI is very smooth and more customizable 😂
@JamesThomas-dn6ee tried that and it fails every single day it's exactly why I went to apple
😂
Hahah hilarious bro ❤
mark am i to early
never too early 🥹
Anything but iphone
What you want a brick in your pocket or a bar of chocolate in your pocket i hope you got the answer....
