@albabyahya s24 Ultra offers more from an objective standpoint. iPhones in the past had an advantage with a seamless and flawless ecosystem, but Samsung surpassed them because of their refined smart devices combined with their smart appliances. Apple has literally been forced into a corner of changing up their ecosystem after nearly 2 decades.

Another great video you produced. I've been a iPhone user since the 4S and still had been using my 13 pro Max which is still in mint condition where is 89% battery health. I purchased the Samsung s24 ultra on launch date and absolutely love it was curious with the 16 pro Max coming out so pre-ordered one kept it for a week and for me personally didn't see a lot of difference from my 13 pro Max and sent it back yesterday. I'm not a content producer just use the 24 ultra for texting social media watching RUclips etc and it does make greatly. Keep up producing the great videos you do I watch everyone, Eddie from Kentucky USA
Honestly, I don’t blame you. Unless there’s a specific reason in which the iPhone is important to you, I believe there’s so much better, including the S24 Ultra. Thanks for the kind words Eddie :) glad you’re enjoying your Samsung :)
7:25 friend who has the 16 Pro Max compared his social media cameras with me and wow! I couldn't believe my eyes! The cameras were about the same in daylight but at night the iphone couldnt get one decent picture especially with the front facing camera. All the pictures were pixalated and extremely noisy and kept adding this weird artificial skin to my face. Whereas the s24 ultra took very high quility detailed photots and on top of that iphones night mode in snapchat would just flashbang you in the face and still take a horrible picture. S24 ultra just made you hold still for 2 seconds and got a way better picture. I would love to see you test that please!
iPhone staying at 100% doesn't mean it has not standby drain, everyone should know by now that it drops from 100% slower than Samsung. But the battery is still drained. From 80% it would have dropped significantly.

Initially, I was hesitant as I did not believe the upgrade would be significant enough to justify the cost. However, I was presented with some attractive offers that made the switch more feasible.

Furthermore, the battery life of the S24 Ultra has proven to be remarkably better. I have observed a significant enhancement in battery performance, allowing me to enjoy using the device for extended periods without worrying about frequent charging.

S23u to 24u it a very bad upgrade . The s23u has much crisper screen and sharper colors . Not only that, the s24u only has a 5x zoom while S23u has 10x zoom lens . 10x zoom on S23u is therefor much sharper than on s24u, which is way worse since it has to use digital zoom and rely on heavy Ai to sharpen the bad zoom image . There are actually many people who returned the s24u and went back to S23u just because of the screen quality alone, so u might just be bias to justify your purchase. People did the right thing by waiting for s25u instead which is soon released in 2 months from now😅
@droo3010 hmm, please use the phone for 15 days with the return policy and see how it turns out. As i have clearly mentioned, i just paid a very little amount for an upgrade. I felt that's what i have written. Still, i mention that the display is top-notch interaction with it.

Went to the IPhone 16 pro and after months with the 24 ultra I won’t go back. Apps is huge with me and simplicity, apps just work SO much better on IOS unfortunately.
With thinner bezels, faster SOC and satellite connectivity 😂. iPhone already has that. What are they going to sell to you? The Spen that’s been around for well over a decade that nobody uses, but it keeps getting mentioned as a big feature simply because iPhone doesn’t have? On top of all that, iPhone 17 comes out in September 2025! See what I did there?
@@Aggie4life77what new features is Apple selling you this year? A new button? Reorganizing your apps like you’ve always been able to do with android? You could make the same arguments for Apple and iPhone 🤷🏻♂️
the brightness doesn't hit your eyes hard even on max level and you'll never feels the eye fatigue with the s24u i like what they do with screen ❤ anti-reflection also is innovative
The S24 Ultra is just better, so here in Portugal, you can get an s24u with 256GB with a discount around 999€ and the 16 Pro Max for 1499€. There's nothing in this world that convinces me that the iPhone is better for the price, because it's not. The funny thing to me is that Samsung is cheaper and gives you more for less. The antiglare display, the s-pen, the 100x, the amazing performance and battery life, versatile and crazy good cameras for photo and video, the 7 years of software updates, the titanium build, even triple A gaming with emulation, no need to use an iPhone for that. And 500€ euros cheaper ? That's just a steal man. No sacrifices
@@cozmo1232 what ever you'd like with emulator, like Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remake, Resident Evil 7, Doom 2016, Halo Mastercheif Collection, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War 2018, Crysis Trilogy and the list goes on
@@RubenNeves22 Yeah I'm pretty sure you're not emulating those on phones any time soon. Maybe game streaming but you could do that on a toaster if it had wi-fi.
@@tawsiaislam2855 bro my s24 ultra is my ipad, its my computer, its my everything. i certainly use it rather than buying a laptop or a computer just to do documents stuff
In my opinion, these companies should take a more measured approach to product launches. It is not essential to release a new phone every year. Given the current lack of innovative design ideas, it would be more beneficial for companies to focus on improving customer service, software support, and reducing costs. For instance, my previous S21 FE was functioning well until it encountered the green line issue, which was attributed to a OneUI error. This compelled me to switch to the S23, and I am concerned that a similar issue may arise within the next two to three years, resulting in significant financial implications.
turning on adaptive brightness is the only and correct way to get the proper...full brightness from the s24 ultra display in bright sunny day...though its gets dim pretty quick.
Why is the Samsung display so dim ? In real life there’s no way it looks that dark in the sunlight. I own one and it’s much brighter then what the video depicts.
Same thing I saying this person like he did that purposely to bring down the S24 like if other ppl don't have both phones..he make it so obvious that anyone can recognise that the S24 screen is dim
Hey, I love Samsung. Met the people at Samsung Canada. In no way would I make the phone more dim on purpose, that is absurd. They were both at their max brightness. They both looked brighter in person. But the iPhone stood out vs. The two.
ty for saying this because im getting this phone in 2 weeks. currently have iPhone 15 pro max. and a flip 5 ...that screen looked way too dim. Made me question it.
@@valismind@ 1:42 it’s hard to believe the Samsung is set to max brightness. @ 2:56 the Samsung looks much brighter. It’s easily the most legible screen in direct sunlight I’ve ever seen, and I’ve used a ton of phones. I’m not saying you’re being dishonest, however other videos don’t show S24U screen being this dark on max brightness.
I wanted to buy new iPhone but this phone design is similar to last 2 years.i would prefer OnePlus 12 but that device camera are really bad.left with s24 ultra option but new generation will come in 3,4 months so i should wait.
@Masediz i still have my s23 ultra for almost 2 years yet i have GalaxyAI., why cant apple include it in the 16 series out of the box yet they keep advertising it 🤔
I own the s24 ultra i love it the anti glare screet is major benefit in outdoors or bright conditions but the reflective screens give a nice shiny richness to the screen aswell
I found this channel today, and it stole my attention at a glance. I had been a big fan of MKBHA when it comes to tech review. This channel represent videos in very entertaining way, which is really nice.
The s24u has the qualcomm x75 next-gen modem which has improved banding capabilities. The iPhone 16 uses an X71 modem which is based on the X70. This is like comparing an x55 with an X65. The X75 should have better remote reception based on the modems banding capabilities.
It's a fair video. In all honesty I bought the iphone 16 pro max on day one the bezels yet thinner I couldn't separate it from 15 pro max. The camera button is an acquired test. The camera is better but can't be separated from 15 pro max again. Great device if you are coming from the 12 pro devices or android if you like some customization.
Both are good. I like the risks Samsug is taking to diversify its phone portfolio.I still think the ecosystem is better for Apple. The AirPods pros for me running and working out are perfect.
I recently switched back to the iphone 15 plus from a s23 ultra. I really love the s23 ultra but I really hate the inconsistencies it gave me in social media apps and battery life but would totally reconsider if the s24 or the upcoming s25 ultra be more optimized in most social media apps
@@valismind I agree since for example the pixel 9 was already improving in that department but I still am conscious in buying one since after sales support here in my country is non existent ( philippines )
Great video. Did you notice any heating issues with the S24 Ultra, when using the camera? This seems to be a common problem, yet many tech RUclipsrs fail to mention.
2 месяца назад+1
I have the phone and it has 0 issues with heating at all. I can play wuthering waves for a hour with no heat
Turn do not disturb on when filming something. It helps. Turn off 5G as well, saves battery, gives way more processing power for the active app you're using that requires a lot of graphics display compute power to operate efficiently. Phone is cold when shooting photos and videos afterwards.
Holy shit you're NotVali!! I just stumbled across this video and recognized your voice haha. Used to love the old counter strike videos man, glad to see you're still doing youtube!
How does the reflective coating do with a screen protector on it? And I wonder how it compares to an IPhone with an anti reflective screen protector 🤷🏻♂️
I completely agree with you. I'm honestly tired of Android getting worse and worse year over year. The fun days of Android are long since behind us. When you could get away with rooting your phone and had the ability to flash any custom rom to your device you wanted back in the 5, 6 and 7 days. Apple consistently takes the best of Android and puts it into their OS, but they don't over do it. I would not buy a Samsung these days. Their commitment to quality care is virtually non existent. Google, same thing. They actively make older phones suffer way more than Apple if you are intending to use them as long term storage devices. I am not a fan. But I will say this. A Pixel will always be cheaper than an iPhone or a Galaxy. And a this point, you get more value for your money if you get a cheap Pixel. You don't have to go Pro with Android to see what the latest buzz is all about over there. For awhile, Samsung had a good thing going when Apple was running through a mid brand identity crisis. But now those days are long since over, they've stabilized over at Apple, Samsung has deteriorated in basic quality of service and I'm very happy with what Apple's doing lately. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is the best thing they've ever made, and I'm returning to their ecosystem because of it. As for Samsung, their continued loss of quality care to anything they commit to making, as a company, rather than a contract and sometimes a sub contract is why I'm leaving. They're doing this to cut corners. As is Apple, but who they pick matters long term. Apple does it better right now. You made a great choice.
The lag problem in the iphone was most likely the beta software you mentioned, i literally had to get my iphone software restored at the apple store because of it
One thing you might be able to do to minimize lag, is turn do not disturb mode on. For whatever reason, it seems to help minimize background tasks. And this works on both Samsung and iPhone. I noticed that especially ever since 5G came out, and if you have 5G enabled in settings, the lag is a lot more noticeable. And this is true with all kinds of phones across the board, so turning off notifications helps if you have to enable the 5G connectivity. If you want some notifications, you can turn 5G off. But this greatly helped reduce lag and heat as well for me. Not to mention saving a ton of battery life in the process which I'm very happy about.
@@valismind that is really surprising to see. I use S24 Ultra and when i compared the iphone 16 pro max side by side the difference was not that stark (how it looked in some of the clips in your video)
I have been using 12 pro max since 2020, I am thinking to switch as I have had lot of battery issues recently even after replacing the batteries, what would be a better option for me ? I use my phone mostly for office meetings, emails, sometimes RUclips and other social media.. planning to keep the new device for 5 years...
if you like iOS, stick with with iphone (also iOS is a bit more smoother and less likely to have issues so for business i would recommend iphone) im currently an iphone user but going to the S24u after my current 13 pro max
If you're already all in the iOS ecosystem, it may be best to stay. Moving over is tedious. I have the S24U, it lasts all day no question. I worked 10 hour shifts, played music/video on breaks, checked media and left with over 60% battery (typically around 65-68, lighter days I'd leave with 75). I do the document scan from camera a lot, and sign PDFs with the s pen then shoot out the email. This phone is great for business. iPhone has better optimization and flow if you're used to it by now.
The other comments basically nailed it. I don’t think it’s worth switching if you’re already involved with other Apple devices. I’m aware Samsungs ecosystem works just as well and in some cases may be better, but apples feels very complete.
I recently (Late august) picked up the S24 Ultra. I also have the 14 pro max. I will upgrade to the 16 pro max later this year. I am fortunate to be able to afford both phones. I used to be a HUGE android fanboy (this s24 is my 8th samsung phone, the 14 pro max is my 3rd apple phone) but switched to Apple in 2023. I still like android which is why I have the ultra since both devices serve a purpose for me but I much prefer the apple device.
I got the s8 and ultra note 20. I want to replace my S8 with either S24 or the 12. The 15 only has 2 cameras and not sure if 16 is worth it. I've always felt iphones beat Samsung in pic n vid quality..... could use some suggestions or recommendations.
@ValisMind Bro Between Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 PLUS What should I opt for..? Keeping the perspective of long term usage with non deteriorating Performance..?? ( I'm a Normal to Moderate Gamer also ) ( There are so many peoples complaining about Display problem and Green line issues in S24 Ultra Please help me to choose the BEST between the two its a request bro please do reply me..)
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus along with every Sony Playstation ever made are very easily my absolute favorite pieces of technology ever created in the history of man kind. Anything made by Samsung and Sony are an instant success.
I’ve been with iPhone for a long time but iPhone 16 shows nothing game changing new and I’m tired of using an iPhone thats why I’ll be switching to S24 ultra instead, and also the S24 ultra has more unique features then the 16 and it’s why I’m mostly switching or maybe the Z fold 6 ultra if it’s true that it’s coming out this month
I switched from my s24 ultra to the base iphone 15 and dont regret it every single developer on android is lacking in updates snapchat instagram facebook and all these game devs too dont update their apps to be compatible enough to work properly for the s24 ive had issues w every single app but as soon as i switched it stopped
With the s25 coming around the corner and 0 support updates coming for my s24 im just done w android trying to push out too many phones instead of making them work
Between Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 Plus What should I opt for..? Keeping the perspective of long term usage with non deteriorating Performance..??
When i see the people holding s24 ultra and me with my 14 pro max i just say wov look how pretty is the phone , now i really want to get the galaxy the screen and the design all so cool , im waiting for s25 ultra or maybe 26 to switch but i will keep my 14 pro max
I use both ecosystems , Apples look beautiful, take awesome pics and videos. But just feels like 10 years behind on things my Samsung phones and tablets can do.
@@germanylicious My Note 20 Ultra had the same problem. To be honest, the S24 Ultra and iPhone take pretty similar night photos. However, the iPhone's night videos are ever so slightly better because the S24 Ultra ends up getting a lot of noise. That's the only place where the iPhone wins
It's crazy that Valis blocked me on Twitter for criticising him of the same thing he's now doing. Which is offer a fair compare and contrast criticism between Apple products and WINDOWS AND ANDROID
Nlg, that box design w/ symmetrical bezels on the S24U makes my OCD sooo happy!!! Buut.... but... I'm a foldy boy. I cannot go back to regular slab phones. CAN. NOT.
I used Android since the first Android phone came out, then switched to iPhone last 2017, for 7 years of using iPhone, I got tired of 5 year old technologies and less flexibility in iOS.... I just switched back to Android a month ago, and I couldn't be much happier.
For post. It’s going in the other direction buddy. This would have been true 7 years ago, but switching back today doesn’t even make much sense. Most people don’t even customize their phone like that anymore. They just add a couple widgets and call it a day. Nobody switching to Android in 2024 and beyond for custom theme packs lol! Don’t believe me? Look at all your friends with Android phones. It’s set up basic as heck😂😂😂
@@Aggie4life77 I don't customize my home screen either. I work in the tech field and Android phones works better with Windows computers. And besides, I can fold my Android phone, try convincing me again once you can fold your iPhone. 🤣🤣🤣
Hey you guys keep saying apple is not innovating What’s the difference between the s21-22-23-24 ultra and I bet you the s25 ultra will look the same So both are doing poorly in the aspect But android still gives more features
Its quite simple if you want a great phone get the Samsung if you want a boring out of date phone thats not made any changes in years get the iPhone its a no brainer
Honestly 24 is last years phone. 16 goes against 25. And still with time to prepare they always underperform, needed thousands of GB of RAM to do what iPhone does with just 4-6-8.
24 came out in Feb, iPhone came out last week. Both released in 2024. You could say the same thing about the iPhone 15PM vs. The S24 Ultra and say I’m being unfair to that phone. These are the devices that should be going head to head, they came out in the same year.
the focus is to be the best phone of that year it shouldn’t matter when it happens that year because will always look back the year rather than the month
@@Chris.Moralesi could see from both sides. I honestly think the closest release dates should be compared. S24u came out January 15th 2024 . So all the technology and final touches they put into this phone was from 2023 Where as the iphone 16 came out late September so they had most of 2024 to add the final tech and finishing touches. Also most big companies worry about "quarterly goals". No matter what though, like I mentioned before. The most fair would be to compare the 2 phones that have the closest release dates.

The Spen that’s been around for well over a decade that nobody uses, but it keeps getting mentioned as a big feature simply because iPhone doesn’t have? On top of all that, iPhone 17 comes out in September 2025! See what I did there?
@@Aggie4life77what new features is Apple selling you this year? A new button? Reorganizing your apps like you’ve always been able to do with android? You could make the same arguments for Apple and iPhone 🤷🏻♂️
the brightness doesn't hit your eyes hard even on max level and you'll never feels the eye fatigue with the s24u i like what they do with screen ❤
anti-reflection also is innovative
The S24 Ultra is just better, so here in Portugal, you can get an s24u with 256GB with a discount around 999€ and the 16 Pro Max for 1499€. There's nothing in this world that convinces me that the iPhone is better for the price, because it's not. The funny thing to me is that Samsung is cheaper and gives you more for less. The antiglare display, the s-pen, the 100x, the amazing performance and battery life, versatile and crazy good cameras for photo and video, the 7 years of software updates, the titanium build, even triple A gaming with emulation, no need to use an iPhone for that. And 500€ euros cheaper ? That's just a steal man. No sacrifices
May I ask what triple A games can you emulate on it?
@@cozmo1232 what ever you'd like with emulator, like Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remake, Resident Evil 7, Doom 2016, Halo Mastercheif Collection, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War 2018, Crysis Trilogy and the list goes on
@@RubenNeves22 Yeah I'm pretty sure you're not emulating those on phones any time soon. Maybe game streaming but you could do that on a toaster if it had wi-fi.

DEX is fantastic. Not sure you mentioned that.
not really
Pretty sure most Samsung users don't use Dex
@@tawsiaislam2855 bro my s24 ultra is my ipad, its my computer, its my everything. i certainly use it rather than buying a laptop or a computer just to do documents stuff
5:35 As mush as I searched Iphone never used UFS. It has been NVMe. Can I know the source on what kind of storage Iphone 16 uses?
It still uses TLC NVME.
@@fullbass1426 so still not UFS and many youtubers mistaking?
In my opinion, these companies should take a more measured approach to product launches. It is not essential to release a new phone every year. Given the current lack of innovative design ideas, it would be more beneficial for companies to focus on improving customer service, software support, and reducing costs. For instance, my previous S21 FE was functioning well until it encountered the green line issue, which was attributed to a OneUI error. This compelled me to switch to the S23, and I am concerned that a similar issue may arise within the next two to three years, resulting in significant financial implications.
This ideology works only if you think people upgrade every year though
Apple already did decide on 2 year phone cycle
turning on adaptive brightness is the only and correct way to get the proper...full brightness from the s24 ultra display in bright sunny day...though its gets dim pretty quick.
Why is the Samsung display so dim ? In real life there’s no way it looks that dark in the sunlight. I own one and it’s much brighter then what the video depicts.
Same thing I saying this person like he did that purposely to bring down the S24 like if other ppl don't have both phones..he make it so obvious that anyone can recognise that the S24 screen is dim
Hey, I love Samsung. Met the people at Samsung Canada. In no way would I make the phone more dim on purpose, that is absurd. They were both at their max brightness.
They both looked brighter in person. But the iPhone stood out vs. The two.
ty for saying this because im getting this phone in 2 weeks. currently have iPhone 15 pro max. and a flip 5 ...that screen looked way too dim. Made me question it.
@@valismind@ 1:42 it’s hard to believe the Samsung is set to max brightness. @ 2:56 the Samsung looks much brighter. It’s easily the most legible screen in direct sunlight I’ve ever seen, and I’ve used a ton of phones. I’m not saying you’re being dishonest, however other videos don’t show S24U screen being this dark on max brightness.
I was thinking the same. S24 brightness turned down. Don't care what he says.
I wanted to buy new iPhone but this phone design is similar to last 2 years.i would prefer OnePlus 12 but that device camera are really bad.left with s24 ultra option but new generation will come in 3,4 months so i should wait.
Yeah unfortunately it is similar which is something Samsung is also doing too with the way their S24, S23 and S22 all look
Apple sells Yesterday's tech at tomorrow's price 😂
yet, the processor and camera is better lol if that's yesterday's tech, what is samsung using lmao

@@Papoy0110 because they're apple🤡
Watching this on my galaxy s24 ultra,, galaxy s24 ultra over any device out 💯👑
I own the s24 ultra i love it the anti glare screet is major benefit in outdoors or bright conditions but the reflective screens give a nice shiny richness to the screen aswell
I found this channel today, and it stole my attention at a glance. I had been a big fan of MKBHA when it comes to tech review. This channel represent videos in very entertaining way, which is really nice.
That’s actually really kind thank you so much and I’m glad you got some value out of it 🙏🙌🙏
Being in a rural area with poor coverage, I would like to know which phone is best for phone calls. Thanks
The s24u has the qualcomm x75 next-gen modem which has improved banding capabilities.
The iPhone 16 uses an X71 modem which is based on the X70. This is like comparing an x55 with an X65. The X75 should have better remote reception based on the modems banding capabilities.
i love the rich quality of the video and the shots even on 1080p it feels like 1440p when compared to other YT videos...
It's a fair video. In all honesty I bought the iphone 16 pro max on day one the bezels yet thinner I couldn't separate it from 15 pro max. The camera button is an acquired test. The camera is better but can't be separated from 15 pro max again.
Great device if you are coming from the 12 pro devices or android if you like some customization.
Both are good. I like the risks Samsug is taking to diversify its phone portfolio.I still think the ecosystem is better for Apple. The AirPods pros for me running and working out are perfect.
I recently switched back to the iphone 15 plus from a s23 ultra. I really love the s23 ultra but I really hate the inconsistencies it gave me in social media apps and battery life but would totally reconsider if the s24 or the upcoming s25 ultra be more optimized in most social media apps
Valid reason, I’m hoping this is an area in which Samsung and other android oems continue to push their focus. I can see android dominating.
@@valismind I agree since for example the pixel 9 was already improving in that department but I still am conscious in buying one since after sales support here in my country is non existent ( philippines )
Yeah that is definitely a reason to be cautious. After sales support is very important if you plan to keep it for an extended number of years.
I've seen a lot of comparison videos for these two phones. This one is the best one I've seen. Great job.
Do anyone know where to download the wallpaper at the beginning? Love the style!! Many thanks!!
Great video. Did you notice any heating issues with the S24 Ultra, when using the camera? This seems to be a common problem, yet many tech RUclipsrs fail to mention.
I have the phone and it has 0 issues with heating at all. I can play wuthering waves for a hour with no heat
Turn do not disturb on when filming something. It helps. Turn off 5G as well, saves battery, gives way more processing power for the active app you're using that requires a lot of graphics display compute power to operate efficiently. Phone is cold when shooting photos and videos afterwards.
Holy shit you're NotVali!! I just stumbled across this video and recognized your voice haha. Used to love the old counter strike videos man, glad to see you're still doing youtube!
Why make the 16PM always brighter in your shots when the S24U actually has a brighter display?
Where can I get the wallpaper?
How does the reflective coating do with a screen protector on it? And I wonder how it compares to an IPhone with an anti reflective screen protector 🤷🏻♂️
It eliminates the coating unless you buy a Samsung, anti reflective one.
@@valismind ahhh okay, appreciate the info brotha.
the speakers and haptics on iPhone sis also much better in my testing
Not much better
@@renaldofriloux495 its much better
Yes that is one thing Apple continuously improves upon, year over year.
what case and screen protector you recommend for the pro max? Spigen is good choice?
Spigen hands down that’s what’s on my phone
I am really considering an android phone Google’s Pixel 9 Pro as my secondary device but my iPhone will always be my primary
If you value the phone being speedy and smooth in 3 years avoid the pixels
I completely agree with you. I'm honestly tired of Android getting worse and worse year over year. The fun days of Android are long since behind us. When you could get away with rooting your phone and had the ability to flash any custom rom to your device you wanted back in the 5, 6 and 7 days. Apple consistently takes the best of Android and puts it into their OS, but they don't over do it. I would not buy a Samsung these days. Their commitment to quality care is virtually non existent. Google, same thing. They actively make older phones suffer way more than Apple if you are intending to use them as long term storage devices. I am not a fan. But I will say this. A Pixel will always be cheaper than an iPhone or a Galaxy. And a this point, you get more value for your money if you get a cheap Pixel. You don't have to go Pro with Android to see what the latest buzz is all about over there. For awhile, Samsung had a good thing going when Apple was running through a mid brand identity crisis. But now those days are long since over, they've stabilized over at Apple, Samsung has deteriorated in basic quality of service and I'm very happy with what Apple's doing lately. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is the best thing they've ever made, and I'm returning to their ecosystem because of it. As for Samsung, their continued loss of quality care to anything they commit to making, as a company, rather than a contract and sometimes a sub contract is why I'm leaving. They're doing this to cut corners. As is Apple, but who they pick matters long term. Apple does it better right now. You made a great choice.
Great Review, straight to point and well detailed Just Subscribed!
Watching a video from Vali after a long time...
Been here since the beginning.. Happy to see you will reach 50k...
Yes! I remember, you’ve been here forever and than you for that 🙌🙌🙌
What screen protector are you using in the 16 pro max?
Where is that wallpaper from?
I don’t remember it’s been in my googe photos forever
@@valismindI screen shoted the video cropped the phone and searched it with google lens lol
LOL I keep forgetting about circle to search and lens 😂
in the end. real reason for using iphone is for the OS and interface.
Where do you get the wallpapers from? I love them
The lag problem in the iphone was most likely the beta software you mentioned, i literally had to get my iphone software restored at the apple store because of it
One thing you might be able to do to minimize lag, is turn do not disturb mode on. For whatever reason, it seems to help minimize background tasks. And this works on both Samsung and iPhone. I noticed that especially ever since 5G came out, and if you have 5G enabled in settings, the lag is a lot more noticeable. And this is true with all kinds of phones across the board, so turning off notifications helps if you have to enable the 5G connectivity. If you want some notifications, you can turn 5G off. But this greatly helped reduce lag and heat as well for me. Not to mention saving a ton of battery life in the process which I'm very happy about.
Keen to know what was the screen brightness when you kept the phones side by side. Looked to me that you kept the S24 Ultra on a lower brightness
Both at max
@@valismind that is really surprising to see. I use S24 Ultra and when i compared the iphone 16 pro max side by side the difference was not that stark (how it looked in some of the clips in your video)
NAh. No dynamic island to me, that shit is taking too much space on the screen. s24U is clearly a winner here in term of everything.
I have been using 12 pro max since 2020, I am thinking to switch as I have had lot of battery issues recently even after replacing the batteries, what would be a better option for me ?
I use my phone mostly for office meetings, emails, sometimes RUclips and other social media.. planning to keep the new device for 5 years...
if you like iOS, stick with with iphone (also iOS is a bit more smoother and less likely to have issues so for business i would recommend iphone)
im currently an iphone user but going to the S24u after my current 13 pro max
If you're already all in the iOS ecosystem, it may be best to stay. Moving over is tedious. I have the S24U, it lasts all day no question. I worked 10 hour shifts, played music/video on breaks, checked media and left with over 60% battery (typically around 65-68, lighter days I'd leave with 75). I do the document scan from camera a lot, and sign PDFs with the s pen then shoot out the email. This phone is great for business. iPhone has better optimization and flow if you're used to it by now.
The other comments basically nailed it. I don’t think it’s worth switching if you’re already involved with other Apple devices.
I’m aware Samsungs ecosystem works just as well and in some cases may be better, but apples feels very complete.
Thank you all for providing your insights, I think I have the clarity now.
Adjusting the volume with the s-pen?😂 You must be the only one to do so
Nah it’s actually insane.
@@valismind 😆😆
Where can i get this wallpaper
Really tried to appreciate the anti reflective screen on the s24u but just couldn't bring myself to use it without a screen protector.
If you use Samsungs anti reflective screen protector it is still more anti reflective compared to the iPhone.
I think brightness of galaxy is reduced in this this video 😅😅😅
Hey! It’s on max, but thank you.
Same thing i am saying: my wife have the I phone 16 and I have the S24 and my phone is brighter when both phones are on the maximum brightness
In your video it look soo dull to the iPhone something is not right with that S24
Reported peak brightness on S24 ultra is 2,600 nits vs 2,000 on iP16pro max, isn’t it?
@@techypotter2567 so do I.
What wallpaper are u using?
Apples multi touch not working. I am used to of holding the phone by the screen and still using it. It stopped working after the update.
Where did ya get the wallpaper?
I love it
I don’t remember :( I’ll make a google drive of all my wallpapers I use. But need to find a way to reference and lookup the artists.
@@valismind okii thanks!
I wanna use them eheh
I recently (Late august) picked up the S24 Ultra. I also have the 14 pro max. I will upgrade to the 16 pro max later this year. I am fortunate to be able to afford both phones. I used to be a HUGE android fanboy (this s24 is my 8th samsung phone, the 14 pro max is my 3rd apple phone) but switched to Apple in 2023. I still like android which is why I have the ultra since both devices serve a purpose for me but I much prefer the apple device.
I got the s8 and ultra note 20. I want to replace my S8 with either S24 or the 12. The 15 only has 2 cameras and not sure if 16 is worth it. I've always felt iphones beat Samsung in pic n vid quality..... could use some suggestions or recommendations.
having to wait until march of next year for ai is crazy. by that time the 17 is almost out
That’s why I kept my iPhone 13 Pro for one more and just changed the battery instead.
Yes, and it sure as hell better deliver 😡 I am tired of my phone not knowing anything I am saying when I'm voice dictating !
I like that wallpaper where can I get it?
@ValisMind Bro Between Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 PLUS What should I opt for..? Keeping the perspective of long term usage with non deteriorating Performance..?? ( I'm a Normal to Moderate Gamer also )
( There are so many peoples complaining about Display problem and Green line issues in S24 Ultra Please help me to choose the BEST between the two its a request bro please do reply me..)
Planning to buy a new phone and choosing between the iPhone and Samsung, will definitely go for iPhone since I want to do videos for social media. 😁
Wow I've been waiting for this man. You're the best👌
Much love thank you for the support 🙏
What wallpaper do you use?
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus along with every Sony Playstation ever made are very easily my absolute favorite pieces of technology ever created in the history of man kind. Anything made by Samsung and Sony are an instant success.
I wish if apple put that effort in improving something else then making a button .
Bingo^
I’ve been with iPhone for a long time but iPhone 16 shows nothing game changing new and I’m tired of using an iPhone thats why I’ll be switching to S24 ultra instead, and also the S24 ultra has more unique features then the 16 and it’s why I’m mostly switching or maybe the Z fold 6 ultra if it’s true that it’s coming out this month
You should make an in depth review of camera performance in social media between these and the upcoming s25 ultra as well
I’ll include it in the camera review
S24 anyday of the week ❤
I switched from my s24 ultra to the base iphone 15 and dont regret it every single developer on android is lacking in updates snapchat instagram facebook and all these game devs too dont update their apps to be compatible enough to work properly for the s24 ive had issues w every single app but as soon as i switched it stopped
With the s25 coming around the corner and 0 support updates coming for my s24 im just done w android trying to push out too many phones instead of making them work
Between Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 Plus What should I opt for..? Keeping the perspective of long term usage with non deteriorating Performance..??
Não há como ter uma evolução notável em um intervalo menor que 3 anos em smartphones...

A great, honest video. Thank you 🙏🏾
Touch responsive issues on 16 pro max. It's really concerning. Such an expensive device. Definitely considering on getting a s24 ultra.
Thanks for this very thorough and expert assessment. Very useful info to have before I head off to replace my iphone.🐌
When i see the people holding s24 ultra and me with my 14 pro max i just say wov look how pretty is the phone , now i really want to get the galaxy the screen and the design all so cool , im waiting for s25 ultra or maybe 26 to switch but i will keep my 14 pro max
I use both ecosystems , Apples look beautiful, take awesome pics and videos. But just feels like 10 years behind on things my Samsung phones
and tablets can do.
Which ones do you have?
OOOHH another Honest review!!
Which one has the brighter display
In my opinion, the S24 blows the iPhone out of the water with photos
What about low light and night pictures?? I can never get a clear picture on my ultra note 20
@@germanylicious My Note 20 Ultra had the same problem. To be honest, the S24 Ultra and iPhone take pretty similar night photos. However, the iPhone's night videos are ever so slightly better because the S24 Ultra ends up getting a lot of noise. That's the only place where the iPhone wins
@@Tigerwolf102onRUclips a lot of noise? What do you mean?
@@germanylicious it's basically like fuzziness in the image. If you want a better visualization, Google "image noise"
It really comes down to personal choice, both phones are fantastic, but the iPhone had one tiny bug.

Great video, great watching 👌🏽
Can we add the Xiaomi 14T Pro to the list?
Nlg, that box design w/ symmetrical bezels on the S24U makes my OCD sooo happy!!!
Buut.... but...
I'm a foldy boy. I cannot go back to regular slab phones. CAN. NOT.
Haha yeah I agree. And I went down that fold route a while back, miss it. But waiting for something to really WOW me
I used Android since the first Android phone came out, then switched to iPhone last 2017, for 7 years of using iPhone, I got tired of 5 year old technologies and less flexibility in iOS.... I just switched back to Android a month ago, and I couldn't be much happier.
For post. It’s going in the other direction buddy. This would have been true 7 years ago, but switching back today doesn’t even make much sense. Most people don’t even customize their phone like that anymore. They just add a couple widgets and call it a day. Nobody switching to Android in 2024 and beyond for custom theme packs lol! Don’t believe me? Look at all your friends with Android phones. It’s set up basic as heck😂😂😂

Hey you guys keep saying apple is not innovating
What’s the difference between the s21-22-23-24 ultra and I bet you the s25 ultra will look the same
So both are doing poorly in the aspect
But android still gives more features
Its quite simple if you want a great phone get the Samsung if you want a boring out of date phone thats not made any changes in years get the iPhone its a no brainer
Wallpaper please?
Try taking photos with the latest September update.
What's the September update?
Honestly 24 is last years phone.
16 goes against 25.
And still with time to prepare they always underperform, needed thousands of GB of RAM to do what iPhone does with just 4-6-8.
24 came out in Feb, iPhone came out last week. Both released in 2024.
You could say the same thing about the iPhone 15PM vs. The S24 Ultra and say I’m being unfair to that phone.
These are the devices that should be going head to head, they came out in the same year.
@@valismind technically yes, but they design 25 trying to beat 16, just like Apple designed 16 trying to go on top of 24.
the focus is to be the best phone of that year it shouldn’t matter when it happens that year because will always look back the year rather than the month
@@eli7997 exactly
@@Chris.Moralesi could see from both sides. I honestly think the closest release dates should be compared.
S24u came out January 15th 2024 . So all the technology and final touches they put into this phone was from 2023
Where as the iphone 16 came out late September so they had most of 2024 to add the final tech and finishing touches.
Also most big companies worry about "quarterly goals".
No matter what though, like I mentioned before. The most fair would be to compare the 2 phones that have the closest release dates.
Couldn't skip without appreciating ur video 😊😊😊 ❤❤❤
They're both sick phones. Weird how so many people dump on one and hold the other up as a holy grail lol
Good, balanced review!
Which phones take better pictures ? iPhone 15 pro max or Samsung s24 ultra
Can someone please explain to me which is more secure if lost or stolen. Thanks. 🙏
In my experience Apple is best for that but that’s just based on my own experience
I use both but without doubt Apple devices are a lot more secure and stand greater chances to be recovered if lost.
Wow finally a honest objective review analysis. No Samsung bias on this ☝️ ; keep it up I might subscribe to channel, but definitely gave you a like~~😅
🐌 visual representation of the S 25 arriving
