When you done the camera test against the iPhone, did you make sure the colour setting in the Samsung was set to natural colour? Usually Samsung's over colour everything and I was pleased to see now you have the option in the Samsung to take natural colour looking photos. I would then like to see the comparisons?
Both are great but for me more than the stats matter the os because i used ios for a year but needed to change the phone because it didn't feel right but i know that some people wuld like iphone design i can understand
There is kinda a problem here mrwhose boss made the phone 60 hrtz and iphone has a better chip and more durable and better camera and it has some mixed battery tests
Qualcomm chip is years ahead, it is not just horse power which is also arguable, qc soc is triple processors isp's and incredibly more capable soc within 3x more AI and build in x60 ! Use iPhone 12 in nyc, your battery will not last long. Gs21u is so much more reliable 5g and battery a lot more capable. Camera is so much better, you can even photograph the moon! You have to try it!
Thanks for the amazing review cos you really took your time. I just have a couple of questions. For the Samsung camera, did you use the 108 megapixel raw photo camera or the 12 megapixel binned camera? Because the 108 megapixel looses dynamic range when activated. Also for the speaker, was the Doubly Atmos turned on for the Samsung? I'm asking because it does have an effect on it's speaker quality when turned on.
Great. Heard the exynos over heat much and crosses 10°c from the initial room temperature. Is that so? Because in my place the room temp will touches 40 in summer..
@@sivakumarvenkataraman7000 I have been using Exynos Version of S21 Ultra for a few days now. I live in India and weather in my state is currently on the cooler side but what are my first impressions are that it definitely runs cool.

The most interesting for me is the lidar camera and the excellent video recording. No other smartphone can match my Iphone in night mode pictures except Samsung s21 Ultra.👍👍👍
unfortunately the camera test was a bit flawed. first of all your images looked really out of focus, not sure why, or how you managed to do that. second, that 108mp sensor is useless if you just show the photo. it's performance would have become obvious if you zoomed in the final photo for a crop, since it is there where you truly see the real amount of detail captured by it. otherwise it works like a normal 12mp.
Plus the 12mp binning is enable out the box not the 108mp. Which works better at low light like the pictures appear to be in. Also no night shots which will show lens flares all over on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

That's what I've been trying to tell people...it isn't even a debate, the S21 Ultra IS the better phone when it come's to specs and features. It really isn't even close. The ONLY reason you would want an iPhone at this point is if you are already tied to the Apple ecosystem.

If battery life is your concern then u would go with the 12 pro max it’s not about the milliamps on paper the s21 ultra has the bigger battery but iPhones software and optimization is so good that it beats the s21 when it comes to actual battery life and usage
Out of curiosity Samsung main sensor can output 12MP downsampled images, could you compare both main sensors at the same resolution to see if there is a difference?
That is my point exactly. At 108 the small pixels will be detremental where as the binned 12 version will act like it has large pixels and give a much cleaner image.
Good pic, I regret getting the S21 Ultra. It’s highly overrated. Performance takes a massive hit after about a month or so. Apps crash, it’s unresponsive etc. I wish I had the 12 Pro Max
It's quite funny how majority of videos I've watched In the comparison of cameras for the 12 Pro Max against the S21 Ultra the S21 Ultra comes out on top. Majority of the pictures taken for this video by the 12 Pro had too much saturation. The S21 ultra-zoom is by far way better than the Pro Max I think the point for the cameras should have went to the S21 Ultra. All the unbiased reviews I have watched have been the ultra.
Great and informative video. Keep it up. @2:40 though, only the front display has Ceramic Shield. The rear glass of the 12 Pro/Pro Max utilizes the same optical PVD coating glass as the iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max released back in 2019.
Questions please 🙏 was the iPhone using the high efficiency format or most compatible format. And how is the s21 ultra heat wise does it overheat thanks 😊
It seemd bit bias review, specially when reviewing camera which is the most important part of a mobile. Only main camera was reviewed even without checking the zooming effect, where samsung outshine many aspects than iphone in cameras, but that was not considred when giving extra score for iphone. I would say both should be given 1 each minimum
There was two tests which equals a point better video and better pictures idk what you complaining about and no he wasn’t biased at all he was fair and he did use what there is just because your favorite phone doesn’t beat the iphone in camera doesn’t mean to complain like for the iPhone xr the note 10 came out it had better cameras then my xr did I bitch and moan nope because it is newer and better technologies.
Every other RUclipsr: S21 Ultra have better and more true colors this year than iPhone This single RUclipsr: iPhone better photos and more true colors.
1 test is not a total. For example, I'd like to of seen a macro test. That's not possible on the iPhone I believe? I guess we will have to wait and see the full camera comparison test. Should be interesting. Oh, and by the way, I'm a Sony fan, but must admit, I'm blown away with the Samsung
Great video! Honestly when I go back to the iphone, I feel like I'm going back in time...old plan jane operating system and limitations (compared to ONEUI), 60hz display, can't multitask like pin apps or split screen, can't use my phone as a computer, can't charge my watch or buds, huge notch, weak optical & digital zoom, face ID sucks wearing masks. The experience just sucks! When Apple brings 120hz, iPad OS, touch ID, and a more appealing design to the iphone...then I will think about going back. But anyways good video!
You should add a score for privacy, the iPhone stops apps including Facebook from tracking you, there’s also a light to let you know if something is using your camera or mic without you knowing
I use both of these phones, one for work and one personal. If I had to choose I’d have the s21 ultra all day every day over the iPhone pro 12 pro max. Although the gap on this review is quite close, it really opens up in the ultras favour when you try and use the 2 for everyday use. I use the iPhone for work when I wished it was the other way around. You can get way way way way more productivity done with the s21 ultra. The iPhone is like a toy when it it comes to practical rival use. The better screen, faster refresh rate the s pen etc etc really set the ultra way ahead. Then there’s that notch, come on apple sort that out. The iPhone is a great phone but it’s slowly slipping further and further behind the likes of Samsung galaxy devices. The iPhone 13 has to have a 120hz refresh rate, a notch that’s at least 75 percent smaller and an always on display. These are things android users have enjoyed for years now. Apple have NO excuse this year. It also needs a bigger batter, faster charging and better software. iOS 15 needs to be a huge improvement over the previous iterations of iOS. Multitasking and split screen are needed. Interaction with other operating systems also
Thanks for sharing. I really like the Ultra, but if you are invested in the Apple ECO system, then iPhone makes more sense. For me the iPhone is an essential tool for my content creation. It makes my life so much more convenient.
@@ChigzTech yep I agree . If you’ve got a MacBook , iPad etc then iPhone makes sense. But apple knows this! Unfortunately they don’t invest the time or innovation on iPhone. It’s literally outdated by fresher, better Android devices. I wish apple would invest more in iPhone and get it up to speed with other devices. For example it should have a 120 hz refresh rate. Apples excuse of battery issues is a cop out, there’s adaptive screens. It should also have an always on display and a notch that’s at least 3/4 smaller than the notch now. Again apple has no real excuse for this. There’s tech available. And if there wasn’t why aren’t they devolving it. They literally have no excuse.
After using both phones, iphone 12 pro maxs battery lets it down. But I think both phones are good in their "own" way. Similar in some respects to choosing BMW or Mercedes, both are good. At the end of the day, it's personal preference.
Nice comparison seems Samsung s21ultra is better than iphone 12 pro max love this video because when you compare you put the score on the screen some video comparison Don't put the score thanks for the video comparison Samsung s21ultra 🔥🔥💕💕🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
The camera part is not fair, and also no iphone has Bluetooth 5.1 they are all bluetooth 5.0. Also try activating the Dolby Atmos on the Samsung if you really want to test the sound 🔊.
He doesn't know to take the Samsung out of that high megapixil mode and put it into standard 12mp mode. Then compare. SO many camera comparisons between these two phones out there show a clear advantage for the S21 over iPhone. Your camera comparison made the S21 look like hot garbage for some reason. Also I noticed a ton of hand shake on your 10x zoom picture. I can take beautiful ear 10x pictures on my S21 Ultra. So it's pretty clear people shouldn't watch just one video comparison of these two phones cameras. I've had every iPhone made so far, including the 12. And this new Ultra of mine has better cameras overall and flexibility, by far. I don't understand why and how your S21 shots came out so dark and grainy. I'm using the USA SD 888 but still. I don't understand it. Mine takes amazing photos.
I'd be all over the S21 but they haven't fixed social media yet. Instagram Stories looks so bad compared to iPhone. Even if you upload from Gallery , the videos get compressed
Still picking S21 Ultra. Im still using my Samsung A8 2015 i have 2 issue of owning this phone. Battery but i replace already. And lagging about 10-15sec when data is turning on from off. Maybe next month i will upgrade to S21 Ultra 5G. And 12 Pro Max for my wife.
I'm the less tech savy person. I am a droid person and thank goodness for youtubers! I can go threw a tips and tricks video to set my new phone up. Thanks for the straight forward comparison.
i would choose the S21 for it camera 108MP like hey you might need that at one point also the extreme-far zooming capability lol for taking photos from a very far away spot
Speaker of iphone better? Most of reviewer said S21 ultra better - louder and more bass. Camera only compare the main camera? It just a useless comparison because they are has other cameras. S21 Ultra smacked down the iPhone in many ways : Zoom, Macro, Night shot! Like other comment here said, do you activate dolby atmos setting? do you set camera to natural color?
One of the best real phone comparisons I've ever seen Rather, it helped me a lot in deciding my choice for my next phone between them, because what matters most to me is good photography, pure surround sound and stable performance, in addition to the quality of design and materials. I salute you very much for this video From today I will follow your channel and your reviews I continue
I’m writing this comment from my Iphone Promax 12 but i must say only one thing “Samsung is better in every way possible than my boxy limited iphone . Samsung has given its users every single convenient thing that makes life very easy that iPhone has not given to us 1) Option to record call (2) Option to pause the camera whilst recording video and resume it whenever you want (3) switching back and forth between front & back camera during recording the video and so many more things .All these things are not provided with this over hyped iphone . To be honest i just regret buying iphone. And to tell the truth coming from an everyday ordinary girl like me Samsung’s camera is more better with better results than my iphone’s 12 promax camera.
Most camera reviews pick s21 ultra's camera over the pro max, but i understand, this is the exynoss version. In arun's exynos vs sd888, the s21 ultra with the sd888 prduce better photos
Nice comparison.. how about the temperature increase when we use camera from initial temp. For how long we cab record without overheating in s21u & iP12Pro max
Neither phone overheats when using the camera. I have recorded around 45 mins 4K 60 on both and they both handle it fine. Gets slightly warm to the touch. Does not exceed 45 degrees Celsius.
Great results great review very informative.. I've been a Samsung person since day 1 from galaxy S3.. Would like to own S21 ultra one day. Currently using my HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro as my daily driver.. the most underrated phone one of the best smartphone I've ever used I also use a Samsung galaxy Note 9 with the Snapdragon 845 chipset love the QWHD display when compared the any HUAWEI phones or even iPhones Who needs 100% phone charged when u only need a minimum of 50% to 70%... My Mate 20 Pro charges faster to 70% than any flagship phones to date.. Thanks to a 45w brick wall plug.. I've subscribed as am English cannot stand the Americans 😂 From Shabz
I find it interesting that most reviewers of the Samsung s21 Ultra were sent the black color which is more readily available and less costly and IMO less beautiful than the silver.
You’ve been very clear and subjective all along your video test and this is what we want. Mind you that what you have done will facilitate people choices regarding to what they want the most in a smartphone. Thank you for your help.
I have both but find myself using the iPhone more. Android needs a better native messaging platform both for texting and email. Also visual voicemail would be nice like on the iPhone. I know there are other apps you can download but these are things that should be perfect on a 1200 dollar device. Cameras are awesome but a bit gimmicky, not that superior to the iPhone. S21 display is amazing, just wish the software was on par with the hardware. They have come a long way. Other than the above, the S21 kills the iPhone in every other way. Ready to see what the new Note line will offer.
Bro im litteraly ragging rn that s21 ultra camera wasn't even focused, please check your camera settings next time and please turn dolby atmos on next time, thank you
Really good video man! I like how honest you are about opinions being subjective and even though in the video you can sort of tell you were rooting for the iPhone and still gave the honest win to Samsung shows good integrity on your part as a reviewer so people don't have any idea about their biased opinions but you did a good job keeping everything fair. Good review!
I'm getting ridiculous screen on time with this s21 ultra. I've had every galaxy S smart phone and never seen anything like this. Very interesting the first day it was okay. Around 5 hours screen on time. Highest resolution high brightness, tons of RUclips. After that second day I'm getting 8 hours of screen on time. Crazy
@@mike216ism iphones has half the ram and still performs the same, its not hardware its the software thats good. The chip is more efficient and still faster. Apps are also more optimized and better on ios. Just because you perfer android does not mean its better. Lol
I would like to see a home repair on both and see if they will still function. Like a simple screen replacement or a charge port. It would be very interesting .
Planning switching to 12 Pro Max from Galaxy Note 10 Plus as my first ever iPhone 🙂 ... skipping S21 Ultra ... Sacrifice: Vanced RUclips, Cinema HD, Gboard voice typing, 'go back' navigation, pulling down notification panel, comprehensive file manager etc ...😥 Looking forward to: reliable day to day photos and videos, genuine clean os, 5 years of software support, sturdy build with flat screen and steel frame (hate curved screen 😤) I prefer: battery over 120hz, ease of use over customisations, consistent camera over zooom & fun features. But still I fear being enslaved by IOS ☹️
I was watching till you give that plus to Iphone in camera department. You should gave 1 to both since it's very "vague" camera comparison. Not professional at all.
Many people still dont notice when you buy a Samsung phone, you get many advatages with price, such as addition of accessories or discounts or bundling with packages... And is not shown in a lot of comparisons including this...
@Ady ?? I still don't get people talking about this. So are you going to sell your phone after buying it? That's like saying "My stock is higher than yours, but I will never sell it until the end. But still, mine is better." Also, lot of people don't know that Samsung has the BEST trade-in service in the mobile industry. If you include the discounts and addition accessories, sometimes you pay less than 200 bucks... for a next FLAGSHIP phone Iphone? Yeah... sell it... but the prices drops a way more than that of using the trade-in service ^^
The Samsung’s zoo performance is very impressive but the rest goes to the iPhone. Also DXO Mark rated the iPhone much higher than the Samsung except for zoom
When you done the camera test against the iPhone, did you make sure the colour setting in the Samsung was set to natural colour? Usually Samsung's over colour everything and I was pleased to see now you have the option in the Samsung to take natural colour looking photos. I would then like to see the comparisons?
Not to mention there is a setting in the camera where you can turn up the quality of your pictures at the expense of storage.

I totally agree with you never going back to apple
Agreed
If battery life is your concern then u would go with the 12 pro max it’s not about the milliamps on paper the s21 ultra has the bigger battery but iPhones software and optimization is so good that it beats the s21 when it comes to actual battery life and usage
Out of curiosity Samsung main sensor can output 12MP downsampled images, could you compare both main sensors at the same resolution to see if there is a difference?
By default, S21 Ultra gives pixel binned 12 MP photos. 108 MP is an option.
@@anirudhpuranik5222 I know that, but in the video it was stated that they were the 108MP images not the 12MP binned ones
That is my point exactly. At 108 the small pixels will be detremental where as the binned 12 version will act like it has large pixels and give a much cleaner image.
@@donalcotton6113 so basically y’all saying the 108 mp camera is useless then 🤔?
@@Overdosed876 its great for landscape photos and zooming
the low brightness is good on S21 when your at bed and you want to make it ever more lower
s21 ultra has wifi6E, faster but shorter 6Ghz expanded allowable band
Switching to iPhone 12 pro max!!!
After years 12+ of android I'm finally switching to iOS! Also great video, loved it! 😃👍
Dang you messed up, s21 destroys it!
Good pic, I regret getting the S21 Ultra. It’s highly overrated. Performance takes a massive hit after about a month or so. Apps crash, it’s unresponsive etc. I wish I had the 12 Pro Max
@@mikejankowski6492 liar
The speaker test was a huge miss... The Samsung sounded less synthetic than the iPhone
Yeah
Yeah tbh the Iphone 12 pro max sounds a little maffled
It's quite funny how majority of videos I've watched In the comparison of cameras for the 12 Pro Max against the S21 Ultra the S21 Ultra comes out on top. Majority of the pictures taken for this video by the 12 Pro had too much saturation. The S21 ultra-zoom is by far way better than the Pro Max I think the point for the cameras should have went to the S21 Ultra. All the unbiased reviews I have watched have been the ultra.
Great and informative video. Keep it up. @2:40 though, only the front display has Ceramic Shield. The rear glass of the 12 Pro/Pro Max utilizes the same optical PVD coating glass as the iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max released back in 2019.
Did you have on Atmos on the S21?
Dolby atmos is available from S9... So it has
@@ForWhhY he's asking if it was enabled cus u can disable Dolby atmos
Questions please 🙏 was the iPhone using the high efficiency format or most compatible format.
And how is the s21 ultra heat wise does it overheat thanks 😊
I dont think you have ever used a samsung phone. My 400$ samsung never heats and you are saying me all what s21 does is heat lol wut🤣
@@zenk7513???
personally the iPhone has better camera quality in my opinion
S21 ultra after note 20 ultra in love with both but display is just superb
It seemd bit bias review, specially when reviewing camera which is the most important part of a mobile. Only main camera was reviewed even without checking the zooming effect, where samsung outshine many aspects than iphone in cameras, but that was not considred when giving extra score for iphone. I would say both should be given 1 each minimum
There was two tests which equals a point better video and better pictures idk what you complaining about and no he wasn’t biased at all he was fair and he did use what there is just because your favorite phone doesn’t beat the iphone in camera doesn’t mean to complain like for the iPhone xr the note 10 came out it had better cameras then my xr did I bitch and moan nope because it is newer and better technologies.
True. Very biased
Every other RUclipsr: S21 Ultra have better and more true colors this year than iPhone
This single RUclipsr: iPhone better photos and more true colors.
Agreed
1 test is not a total. For example, I'd like to of seen a macro test. That's not possible on the iPhone I believe? I guess we will have to wait and see the full camera comparison test. Should be interesting. Oh, and by the way, I'm a Sony fan, but must admit, I'm blown away with the Samsung
18:52 I like the final score
Great video!
Honestly when I go back to the iphone, I feel like I'm going back in time...old plan jane operating system and limitations (compared to ONEUI), 60hz display, can't multitask like pin apps or split screen, can't use my phone as a computer, can't charge my watch or buds, huge notch, weak optical & digital zoom, face ID sucks wearing masks. The experience just sucks!
When Apple brings 120hz, iPad OS, touch ID, and a more appealing design to the iphone...then I will think about going back.
But anyways good video!
You should add a score for privacy, the iPhone stops apps including Facebook from tracking you, there’s also a light to let you know if something is using your camera or mic without you knowing
True, iphone is very serious when it comes to privacy
That’s a good point. Thanks will keep this in mind.
Samsung s21 ultra has this as well there's a green light dot that turns on to let you know if ur mic or camera is on
Great comparison 👏 very informative and now i decided what to get on my upgrade 😀 👍
Great to hear!
So, which one u get now ? S21 or iphone ?
Please which should I buy to start making my high quality content
How the hell IP won in camera tests while Samsung has much more to offer like better optical zoom, better color reproduction?
It’s was just a main sensor test. My full camera comparison is coming soon.
Mind says - SAMSUNG
Heart says - 🍎
I use both of these phones, one for work and one personal. If I had to choose I’d have the s21 ultra all day every day over the iPhone pro 12 pro max. Although the gap on this review is quite close, it really opens up in the ultras favour when you try and use the 2 for everyday use. I use the iPhone for work when I wished it was the other way around. You can get way way way way more productivity done with the s21 ultra. The iPhone is like a toy when it it comes to practical rival use. The better screen, faster refresh rate the s pen etc etc really set the ultra way ahead. Then there’s that notch, come on apple sort that out. The iPhone is a great phone but it’s slowly slipping further and further behind the likes of Samsung galaxy devices. The iPhone 13 has to have a 120hz refresh rate, a notch that’s at least 75 percent smaller and an always on display. These are things android users have enjoyed for years now. Apple have NO excuse this year. It also needs a bigger batter, faster charging and better software. iOS 15 needs to be a huge improvement over the previous iterations of iOS. Multitasking and split screen are needed. Interaction with other operating systems also
Thanks for sharing. I really like the Ultra, but if you are invested in the Apple ECO system, then iPhone makes more sense. For me the iPhone is an essential tool for my content creation. It makes my life so much more convenient.
@@ChigzTech yep I agree . If you’ve got a MacBook , iPad etc then iPhone makes sense. But apple knows this! Unfortunately they don’t invest the time or innovation on iPhone. It’s literally outdated by fresher, better Android devices. I wish apple would invest more in iPhone and get it up to speed with other devices. For example it should have a 120 hz refresh rate. Apples excuse of battery issues is a cop out, there’s adaptive screens. It should also have an always on display and a notch that’s at least 3/4 smaller than the notch now. Again apple has no real excuse for this. There’s tech available. And if there wasn’t why aren’t they devolving it. They literally have no excuse.
I can't understand why anyone would invest in Crapple, overpriced rubbish..
After using both phones, iphone 12 pro maxs battery lets it down. But I think both phones are good in their "own" way. Similar in some respects to choosing BMW or Mercedes, both are good. At the end of the day, it's personal preference.
Im having a problem which of these phone i will buy, since my s9+ having a drop frame rate ㅜㅜ
Nice comparison seems Samsung s21ultra is better than iphone 12 pro max love this video because when you compare you put the score on the screen some video comparison Don't put the score thanks for the video comparison Samsung s21ultra 🔥🔥💕💕🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
The camera part is not fair, and also no iphone has Bluetooth 5.1 they are all bluetooth 5.0.
Also try activating the Dolby Atmos on the Samsung if you really want to test the sound 🔊.
ATMOS was active on the Ultra.
He doesn't know to take the Samsung out of that high megapixil mode and put it into standard 12mp mode. Then compare. SO many camera comparisons between these two phones out there show a clear advantage for the S21 over iPhone. Your camera comparison made the S21 look like hot garbage for some reason. Also I noticed a ton of hand shake on your 10x zoom picture. I can take beautiful ear 10x pictures on my S21 Ultra. So it's pretty clear people shouldn't watch just one video comparison of these two phones cameras. I've had every iPhone made so far, including the 12. And this new Ultra of mine has better cameras overall and flexibility, by far. I don't understand why and how your S21 shots came out so dark and grainy. I'm using the USA SD 888 but still. I don't understand it. Mine takes amazing photos.
@@MrOldskool1974the Samsung is only better for zoom. According to DXO Mark the iPhone scored much higher
@@mauricedicke9527 Dxo doesn't mean anything. Try it for yourself
U didnt take proper photos.....👎
Nice to know that the best phone is S21.
12 pro max first iPhone ever luv it 8 months no complaints
I'd be all over the S21 but they haven't fixed social media yet. Instagram Stories looks so bad compared to iPhone. Even if you upload from Gallery , the videos get compressed
yet? they have never fixed it and never will you can blame arrogant Instagram and Snapchat developers for not caring glad I deleted them both.
I thought the recent update fixed all that . ?
@@georgebrown8493 Snapchat has been updated to use the native camera API
@@EvolvedAF too late, I’ve moved on without social media but hey! my choice
Find the problem at developers. There is 90% android vs 10% iPhone users worldwide...
Samsung s21 ultra soo handsome 😍😍😍♥️
Still picking S21 Ultra. Im still using my Samsung A8 2015 i have 2 issue of owning this phone. Battery but i replace already. And lagging about 10-15sec when data is turning on from off. Maybe next month i will upgrade to S21 Ultra 5G. And 12 Pro Max for my wife.
I'm the less tech savy person. I am a droid person and thank goodness for youtubers! I can go threw a tips and tricks video to set my new phone up. Thanks for the straight forward comparison.
Intro music name plzzz?
i would choose the S21 for it camera 108MP like hey you might need that at one point also the extreme-far zooming capability lol for taking photos from a very far away spot
Speaker of iphone better? Most of reviewer said S21 ultra better - louder and more bass. Camera only compare the main camera? It just a useless comparison because they are has other cameras. S21 Ultra smacked down the iPhone in many ways : Zoom, Macro, Night shot! Like other comment here said, do you activate dolby atmos setting? do you set camera to natural color?
Don't forget the 8k 24FPS on samsung
Have the s20 and upgraded to the 12 pro max now I got both so I honestly have no complaints
which do you find yourself using more often?
I think IOS is better than Android. My opinion
Was dolby atmos enabled for the samsung s21 during the sound test?
One of the best real phone comparisons I've ever seen
Rather, it helped me a lot in deciding my choice for my next phone between them, because what matters most to me is good photography, pure surround sound and stable performance, in addition to the quality of design and materials.
I salute you very much for this video
From today I will follow your channel and your reviews
I continue
Thanks, glad you liked
Which one did you choose tho
Not a fair review since it's the Exynos version Wich is less powerful than the Snapdragon 888
Are you shooting the s21 Ultra on auto?
Android is so much better in many aspects specially on advanced features and UI much more sophisticated for fine-tuning and productive lovers
True
I switched from 12 pro to s21 ultra
Ipbone's 60hz screen and big notch is horrible but sound quality in iphone is superb
Yap,i think so.The notch is old school
I’m writing this comment from my Iphone Promax 12 but i must say only one thing “Samsung is better in every way possible than my boxy limited iphone . Samsung has given its users every single convenient thing that makes life very easy that iPhone has not given to us 1) Option to record call (2) Option to pause the camera whilst recording video and resume it whenever you want (3) switching back and forth between front & back camera during recording the video and so many more things .All these things are not provided with this over hyped iphone . To be honest i just regret buying iphone. And to tell the truth coming from an everyday ordinary girl like me Samsung’s camera is more better with better results than my iphone’s 12 promax camera.
Samsung S21 ULTRA😍😍😍😍😍😍
Everything in your comparison was perfect 👌 but in the performance the iPhone is the best
Watching from my iPhone 12 Pro Max
Most camera reviews pick s21 ultra's camera over the pro max, but i understand, this is the exynoss version. In arun's exynos vs sd888, the s21 ultra with the sd888 prduce better photos
Excellent review!
Nice comparison.. how about the temperature increase when we use camera from initial temp. For how long we cab record without overheating in s21u & iP12Pro max
Neither phone overheats when using the camera. I have recorded around 45 mins 4K 60 on both and they both handle it fine. Gets slightly warm to the touch. Does not exceed 45 degrees Celsius.
😁😁😁👍👍👍.. another great one chigz.. samsung ❤️
Yes indeed, thanks for watching dude.
Great results great review very informative..
I've been a Samsung person since day 1 from galaxy S3..
Would like to own S21 ultra one day.
Currently using my HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro as my daily driver.. the most underrated phone one of the best smartphone I've ever used
I also use a Samsung galaxy Note 9 with the Snapdragon 845 chipset love the QWHD display when compared the any HUAWEI phones or even iPhones
Who needs 100% phone charged when u only need a minimum of 50% to 70%...
My Mate 20 Pro charges faster to 70% than any flagship phones to date.. Thanks to a 45w brick wall plug..
I've subscribed as am English cannot stand the Americans 😂
From Shabz
This guy gave the camera to Iphone ? Nuts !!
I find it interesting that most reviewers of the Samsung s21 Ultra were sent the black color which is more readily available and less costly and IMO less beautiful than the silver.
I actually bought mine.
The S21 ultras pictures when it's in pro mode with some minor tweaks to WB and CON take better photos.
the S21 Ultra 5G blows almost all the phones, including the current ones, out of the water.. love mine
Still love the S21 ultra, the best designed Samsung phone.
Watching on my S21 ultra 🥰
You’ve been very clear and subjective all along your video test and this is what we want. Mind you that what you have done will facilitate people choices regarding to what they want the most in a smartphone. Thank you for your help.
Samsung Galaxy S 21 Ultra is the best of thee best ✊✊👊👊
the iphone sounds like you are playing it through a phone in a microphone but the s21 sounds like you just plopped the sound in the editing software
I Think S21 Ultra Speker is Good And Perfect. 👌
Watching on my s21 ultra!
I have both but find myself using the iPhone more. Android needs a better native messaging platform both for texting and email. Also visual voicemail would be nice like on the iPhone. I know there are other apps you can download but these are things that should be perfect on a 1200 dollar device. Cameras are awesome but a bit gimmicky, not that superior to the iPhone. S21 display is amazing, just wish the software was on par with the hardware. They have come a long way. Other than the above, the S21 kills the iPhone in every other way. Ready to see what the new Note line will offer.
Bro im litteraly ragging rn that s21 ultra camera wasn't even focused, please check your camera settings next time and please turn dolby atmos on next time, thank you
Bro thats just the truth
Iphone has better camera
@@sebimouraresko5782 please watch the s21 ultra vs 12 pro max comparison from max teck
I also like androids, but I like the iPhone and its operating system more. Before the iPhone, I used Android for over 10 years
Really good video man! I like how honest you are about opinions being subjective and even though in the video you can sort of tell you were rooting for the iPhone and still gave the honest win to Samsung shows good integrity on your part as a reviewer so people don't have any idea about their biased opinions but you did a good job keeping everything fair. Good review!
I'm getting ridiculous screen on time with this s21 ultra. I've had every galaxy S smart phone and never seen anything like this. Very interesting the first day it was okay. Around 5 hours screen on time. Highest resolution high brightness, tons of RUclips. After that second day I'm getting 8 hours of screen on time. Crazy
Still iphone is better
@@Randomdude21-e nice hardware
Garbage software
@@mike216ism iphones has half the ram and still performs the same, its not hardware its the software thats good.
The chip is more efficient and still faster.
Apps are also more optimized and better on ios. Just because you perfer android does not mean its better. Lol
I would like to see a home repair on both and see if they will still function. Like a simple screen replacement or a charge port. It would be very interesting .
Both good. I'm an android guy. I use S21 Ultra. But my brother has an iPhone 12pro max, both are good. 😊
Great video 👍🏼
Planning switching to 12 Pro Max from Galaxy Note 10 Plus as my first ever iPhone 🙂 ... skipping S21 Ultra ...
Sacrifice: Vanced RUclips, Cinema HD, Gboard voice typing, 'go back' navigation, pulling down notification panel, comprehensive file manager etc ...😥
Looking forward to: reliable day to day photos and videos, genuine clean os, 5 years of software support, sturdy build with flat screen and steel frame (hate curved screen 😤)
I prefer: battery over 120hz, ease of use over customisations, consistent camera over zooom & fun features.
But still I fear being enslaved by IOS ☹️
I was watching till you give that plus to Iphone in camera department. You should gave 1 to both since it's very "vague" camera comparison. Not professional at all.
He totally forgot to mention the sound customization on the Samsung galaxy s21 ultra, that would have made the sound quality much better.
Iphone 12 max : i forgot to put a charger inside the box 💀
Many people still dont notice when you buy a Samsung phone, you get many advatages with price, such as addition of accessories or discounts or bundling with packages...
And is not shown in a lot of comparisons including this...
@Ady ?? I still don't get people talking about this. So are you going to sell your phone after buying it? That's like saying "My stock is higher than yours, but I will never sell it until the end. But still, mine is better."
Also, lot of people don't know that Samsung has the BEST trade-in service in the mobile industry. If you include the discounts and addition accessories, sometimes you pay less than 200 bucks... for a next FLAGSHIP phone
Iphone? Yeah... sell it... but the prices drops a way more than that of using the trade-in service ^^
They don’t even include 5G internet speedtest in which sammy absolutely blows iphony away
You are the only person that has said iPhone has a better camera than s21 ultra
No one takes photos with the 108MP mode only.
The normal mode in 9:16 or 16:9 looks better
I have a doubt you give the win to iphone for photos but the S21 ultra is more versatil and gives u more flexibility.
We will see in the full camera test. Coming soon.
The Samsung’s zoo performance is very impressive but the rest goes to the iPhone. Also DXO Mark rated the iPhone much higher than the Samsung except for zoom
