What's better - the S24 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max? Go!

@dannyg8032 3 месяца назад

Is not the best display on the market, is not even the sharpest, there are newer panels with higher pixel density, far brighter, with support for IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Vision which S24 Ultra doesn't have, 10bit color which S24 doesn't have, and 6B colors which S24 doesn't have. In terms of health, the S24 Ultra display has a low 492HZ PWM value, much inferior to the 2160hz or even the 3840hz PWM value available on latest Oppo, Vivo or Honor flagships. The S24 Ultra has an anti-reflective panel, but other smartphones have displays on which you can type easily even when they are wet.

@dannyg8032 3 месяца назад

Well is true, making such a claim that S24 Ultra has the best screen, requires solid tehnical arguments. And I proved you that is not the best display on the market, on contrary is far from it. The same for those small sensors on the back, take a comparison with Chinese flagship with camera tuned by Zeiss and Hasselblad and see then what phone makes the best pictures. Ohh, and I didn't even bring Sony Xperia into discussion. @@MarkEllisReviews

@bigboibenz 3 месяца назад

I'm not being facetious when I say that there is a chasm between the best mobile phones and mirrorless cameras with good lenses. If having even decent image quality is up there on your lists of priorities, do yourself a favour and take your mirrorless/DSLR with you (or invest in one if you don't already have one). It's all about 2 things that mobiles will never have (because by their very nature, they are not 'mobile'. 1) a large image sensor and 2) Large lenses that gather light effectively. I do understand that mobiles are WAY more practical, as you don't always have your camera gear on you, but these mobile cameras are much of a muchness and probably shouldn't affect which mobile you invest in. Most of the differences can be achieved via editing in software.@@pinetworkminer8377

I've used the Note series for a long time. The only reason I don't use the pen more, is simply because I never take the time to learn the huge amount of stuff it can do, so it doesn't become habit forming. But just the remote photo trigger is a pretty nice touch - the fact is, if I used it more, my phone would be dramatically more useful. If you have one, I recommend making yourself use it, just like anything else you have to learn. Don't be like me :D

@AngryCanine 2 месяца назад

I upgraded from my S10+ to an S23 Ultra earlier this month, and what an upgrade it is. A phone that is 95% the same as the S24 Ultra minus physically, for $500-$700 less. Sure the S24 Ultra comes in a colour I absolutely love, but it isn't worth losing the 10x camera for, getting worse battery life because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU is not more power efficient then the custom Snapdragon 8 gen 2 "For Galaxy" edition found in ALL S23 Ultra's regardless of where you live unlike the S24 Ultra which gets the Exynos CPU outside of the NA region... I am in love with this S23 Ultra, even though I bought it used, but like new, and like new it was, as I was able to get the information of this phone regarding its previous user, 2 months of light use before it was boxed up and sat on a shelf for a few months before I got it. The battery life is so much better then my S10+, the 120hz display is super smooth over the 60hz, Camera is obviously a million times better, and I really love the corners of the display, I didn't know how much I would until I got it. Rounded corners should be a thing of the past, they don't look anywhere near as good as the display on the S23 Ultra, same with the S22 Ultra though the curved glass was a bit much where the S23 Ultra's curved glass is perfect, and the S24 Ultra, which its flat display may be good to some, it is cheap looking to me, though the anti glare coating is nice, but easily something you can get with a screen protector.

@iam_joshua_bcxvii 2 месяца назад

@@AngryCanine the anti glare coating on the S24 Ultra is hard if not impossible to replace with just any screen protector though. Even samsungs own anti glare screen protector could barely match the actual anti glare properties of the screen. I only have a hydrogel screen protector in light of this as I cant find any screen protector even just a hydrogel one that offers the same anti glare properties as the actual screen of s24 ultra. Once you have the s24 ultras bare screen, its hard to look away already as it is just that very helpful when there is bright lights around. The AI is not that impressive since it could be acquired with 3rd party apps, and the tele zoom at 10x+ is a downgrade when compared to the S23U.

@pooyaakram2166 3 месяца назад

About the pen I think its subjective because as a Civil engineer who goes on sites regularly, whenever I see something I need to remember, I just take out the pen, Notes pops up automatically, I take the note, save it and thats it. Its been really helpful and now my company is thinking to buy Galaxy tabs for all crew to use on site and my manager is testing it.

Thanks for the video. I had the iPhone 15pro and I switched to the s24Ultra. It's a great phone and the screen is a little better than the IPhone 15pro. The build quality is excellent and everything that this camera is able to do, from A.I, to having a s-pen etc.. is remarkable. The iPhone is great let now kid ourselves. But I am realistic and recognize that there are other phone makers that have great products. I was a little anxious/unsure about taking a phone out of my apple ecosystem, but I soon recognized that it is so silly to think that the world is going to collapse if we do so. People will still get there test messages, video calls etc...its really liberating and eye opening to see how Apple has whether directly or indirectly, made us think that we cannot function, be productive, exiist, or get things done outside of there ecosystem. I recommend people break free and see that the grass is green (no pun intended) on the other side.

Does the iPhone Max have anything similar to the S24 Ultra vapor chamber? It sounds to me that the Samsung substantially increasing the size of this heat dissipation device from the S23 vapor chamber allows it to stay room temperature no matter what hiccup is thrown at it like some signal issue or an app winding up the internals. Whereas the iPhone doesn't seem to have this trick up its sleeve which ending up reducing battery and processing performance. Like for example when they had the ios glitch causing their first run iPhone with the titanium to overheat.

I didn't have issue with S21 Ultra but S23 Ultra completely lightened and "burned" my photos every time lightshow or LED screen visuals light would fall on someone's / my face. As you mentioned the club, did you maybe try 15PM and S24 inside the club? I love 15PM looks, colors, and rounded courners feel better while holding the phone.

Hi Mark how did you find cell signal strength? Other reviews say it struggles for call reception. Something that is important for me as coverage is marginal where I live. Thank you

@Cryptic_Khaos_ 3 месяца назад

In reference to signal strength, there are numerous contributing factors. However, I will provide my insights comparing the T-Mobile branded S23 Ultra phone to the unlocked S24 Ultra phone. Residing in North Texas, where reception is poor, my S23 Ultra lacked service in my home office. In contrast, the S24 Ultra displayed two bars, resulting in an exceptional call quality. Additionally, the data speeds were satisfactory, approximately 75/15.

@grantbarrie4879 3 месяца назад

Thank you for your reply, I have a iphone13 Pro and thinking of changing and saw the S24 the other day. The function of using a pen on screen for farm mapping attracts me and hopefully a bit better coverage for calls. Thanks again

Like you, I am also tied into the Apple ecosystem but I really wanted a change. Some of the comments on here a rather surprising, but each to their own i guess. One thing I will say about the s24, voice to text in some apps is appalling - it stops every other word and I think my diction is quite clear! You now have another subscriber.

The thing you said about the eco system: The copying is actually easily achievable by downloading samsung flow on both your pc / laptop and your phone. It'll let you do a lot more than that, but when that's installed, it's one of the things you can do. The watch, well yeah, the only thing I could say would be that the gw5 pro has been very good for me, but unlike other apple products, I've never had a apple watch, so I can't really talk about that. To the part about having a s24... In switzerland we're still waiting... The official release is on the 20th, which is also the shipping date stated on my order on the samsung website, but I've recieved a mail stating that it could arrive between the 5th and the 18th... My smarttags that I've gotten for free with them will only arrive in march, which I don't really care about but the galaxy buds2 pro will only arrive in april (which are WAYYY better than the apple equivalent imo - another point for the samsung eco system), but they're sending me a free charger as an apology

I think the pens worth depends on what you work with. I use the pen almost everyday for work. Thats why i keep buying Samsung phones with pens, instead of something more cheeper. I work as an electrician and i take a lot of photos of work stuff.. Schematics that need to be updated after work. I take photos and draw on them how i need to update them back at the office, so i can leave the pappers on site if someone needs them. When i´m out to look at a job that need a quotation, Taking a picture of it. write and draw on it whats need to be done and send it back to the people that do the quotation calculation and them can just call me back if they have any questions while i´m at a different workplace and do some work

Great examples. The reason I rarely use mine is because I don't learn what I can use it for and always mean to. It's still the best phone Samsung make though and inherently superior to anything that doesn't have a stylus because it has one. Those of us not using them, are just not learning how our tech works. It wouldn't be downgrading to the non-Note line anyway.

I had been using apple for years and switched now. Yes they are some growing pains :-) trying to escape the echo system but managed to keep my Apple Watch and AirPods for gym sessions with my Apple Music but then everything else is on the ultra. Every day I add something to the Ultra apps settings etc and making it easier to live with. Yes it will be hard at first to escape the echo system of apple but once you do, things will only get better and you will not be too bored with the phone as it has lots of options to entertain you and express your own personality. Iphone is good but so is most other phones these days. My last android was ultra 20 so quite a few years back and the only thing that annoyed me was a battery life. Overheating issues seems to disappear. Only time will tell if I keep my ultra but so far I am enjoying discovering new things. My last phone is an apple 14 pro and yes I think this is a better phone overall.

For some reason (many awesome features), the last time I switched to thr S23Ultra, it stuck... and ive tried going back to apple, but it just doesnt have the same fuzzy feeling it once has. For me, I just see the lack of innovation and even more, the restrictive nature of their ecosystem.

For me the Mac is genuinely the best computer system out there, the iPad too is the best tablet/notetaking machine and the AirPods definitely provide the best user experience by simply pairing good enough sound with the convenience of switching between my devices easily. But the iPhone is truly frustrating. It feels like I’ve been using the same device since 2018 even though I’ve owned 2 different max model iPhones in that time. I need that switch to the S24 but I don’t know how I’ll be able to use my Apple watch and AirPods with it. I can find workarounds with the mac and iPad. So what should I do?? How do I get out?

@thalescueva208 3 месяца назад

IMO It's not worth getting out of the ecosystem . You should probably buy the ultra if you can afford and stick with two phones if you have the possibility. Each one has its own bells and whistles, and you'll be happier with apple watch + airpods than galaxy watch with the buds, trust me. Much more accurate readings, much more fluid UI and etc.. But it's soooo worth it to buy the Samsung flagship. The camera is stellar, the flexibility is amazing and you can integrate both devices with Google Photos. I would however get a smaller iPhone just for the convenience (I currently have a 13 pro - not max-- and s23 ultra which I love - killer combo)

@stop_lying_bro 3 месяца назад

Switch, but have enough money to buy a iPhone again. It will be fun for a few months because it’s all new but later you’ll realise how the apps crash, it becomes laggy after a few updates, photos and videos take up way more space than on an iPhone, the video sucks, and sometimes stutter. The variable refresh rate sometimes lags and you get stuck with what feels like 10fps for a few seconds at times, the screen scratches super easily compared to iPhones front glass and so much more. They are awesome phones yes, but they feel like beta projects and the entire experience doesn’t feel cohesive. There are things I miss that I wish iPhone had, but iPhone just works and smoothly for me anyway. Plus the iPhone doesn’t dig into your hands with long use due the rounded off edges. Call me a power user or perfectionist, but I think for that amount of money, the phones should work damn near perfectly

I'm stepping from s21 Ultra to this one you have here and hoping that it's as smooth as my Iphone.

@oblivionghost28 3 месяца назад

I’m gonna throw my two cents in here. I went from using a galaxy note 10+ to looking at upgrading an android phone. First place I went to, the guy that worked there was all about android. He even called Apple employees, and to a certain extent even the customers a cult. I was trying out both the galaxy S24 ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Since the guy that was working there was trying so hard to sell the galaxy S 24 ultra. We decided to hold off and wait and go somewhere else the next day. After going to the second place, try out both devices again. I found that the S 24 ultra when scrolling up and down and left and right had a bit of choppiness to it. Don’t get me wrong, it was still a lot smoother than my galaxy note 10+. After trying out the iPhone 15 Pro Max, I found that not only how much smoother it operates apps. But just how much faster and more responsive the apps are. It wasn’t just Apple apps, I tested it out between Google apps as well. Camera wise, I really don’t see the big deal on the 200 megapixel camera. I compared the iPhone 15 Pro Max portrait mode next to a picture I took with the 200 megapixel camera. The results showed the iPhone not only had better color in its picture quality, but also looked quite a bit more natural. At the end of the day, I went with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both phones are great, if you get the galaxy S 24 ultra, and your purely just an android user. You’re gonna love it, but for me, having tried both and switching to the iPhone for the first time in my life. I honestly don’t think I’m ever going to regret my decision. For some people who went from the iPhone 15 pro max to the s24 ultra, it’s about those little annoyances with apple they think that makes the s24 ultra better. Just my opinion, though, most people don’t use schedule text messaging. Realistically, the s-pen is going to stay in your phone a majority of the time. I would know since I used a note 10+ for the last 6+ years. as much as most people don’t want to admit it, those little annoyances with the iPhone can’t even scratch the surface to outweigh any android device being better. Realistically your switching, because you heard something is better then one thing or another with its competitor. If people want to argue how much better the galaxy S 24 ultra camera is, I highly encourage watching multiple videos on the camera comparisons between several different RU-vidrs. The results will astonish you. Also 1 last thing I need to mention is that even with the iPhone 15 pro max having a slightly smaller battery vs the s24 ultra. The iPhone 15 pro max battery does last quite a bit longer, some people who will read this will disagree, however all of Samsung phones come with this thing called bloatware in most cases cannot be removed from most of their newer devices. Another thing why iPhone is still better is having that piece of mind with its security features. Another issue that plagues android is how easy their phones are to clone and hack.

I buyed my Ultra last week. I live in Leipzig. Hope you liked it here. I use Garmin Fenix Watches. Two weeks battery.

There is no sucked into the eco system, consistent usage over a year in real life, the IPhone and all its accessories beat everything Samsung has to offer. That why you use an iPhone., and I’m sure if you are really honest Mark, that’s why you do to. 🤷🏾

Just Dex alone beats Apple. Connect a ps5 controller or xbox controller to your phone in Dex mode and connect wireless or wired to a TV and you have a built-in game console in your phone, apple can't compete and that's just one thing 😅

@cashsingh6185 3 месяца назад

Yeah most people use a games console for gaming, if you have consoles why you need your phones to become a console? The fact that Samsung users as you need to justify why the Samsung is better says it all. It isn’t better, it’s just different. Btw I use both android and iOS. I just don’t see why everyone gets so emotional over operating systems. Let’s be clear, iPhones are amazing. I’d say the OnePlus 12 is a better buy than the 24 ultra. 🤷🏾

@cashsingh6185 if your traveling at a hotel 🏨 and don't wanna bring a big console or just can't afford a console it's still a option to have

Yes I have the 24 ultra, yes it is the best phone I have enter had. I hand had iPhones till the 13 pro. Switched from it with no issues. I have now got a Samsung watch. Btw copy and paste works with windows and galaxy devices. So more useful for me at work than my iPhones. And with local send or arc it will work Samsung to mac.... Just saying

One of the best long-ish term reviews out there. I’m in the same boat, drawn heavily to the S24 Ultra and only held back by the ecosystem.

There's something you touched on that a lot of reviewers don't; almost NONE of iPhone users in the US will even consider changing to another platform. One of the reasons is the Apple Watch, of course, but technology can be scary, and Apple seems to make it more consistently easy. I'm a long-time techno-nerd, so I prefer the ability to customize my experience. So, my first smartphone was the iphone 4S, but I have been a fan of Android phones since my first Samsung Note. I have been through several Note versions and Huawei models, but Samsung seems to have nailed down the features I like best. I recently upgraded from an S22 to the S24 Ultra and I am blown away at it's smoothness/speed, the camera, and it's solid build. Is the iPhone 15 plus just as good? Yes, very likely! But I'm locked in to the infrastructure. And yes, I have a Samsung watch as well!

I sent it back, S23U can’t shoot animals in motion, too. So why go to a more expensive device?

@stephenoneill3134 3 месяца назад

3 months later : THIS IS WHY I AM SWITCHING BACK TO IPHONE. Look I get it these guys need to make content for a living and by making everybody watch and argue over a brand name in the comments is how they make money. Just buy whatever phone is right for you!

I'm using my S22 Ultra. Looking to the future with the camera really a Standout with 5X and The lens changes wile filming .The one thing that not talked about is the fact you or anyone must consider is choosing the 512gb version because the updates that are killing the 128gb with constant daily updates getting larger and the video of 4k and now 8k taking even more space. The 256GB is limited. To future proof get the 512gb or larger capacity is a must. That's one of my newest concerns especially now. Battery life while the best.Can be improved with updates if they choose to do so.The only way at this point is to choose a limited number of Apps . The Constant adding of to many applications is reducing any gains in battery life. Results may very on your types of Apps .Just a few concerns but will be looking to get the S24 Ultra with 512gb storage again to future proof for usage and Resale wich can improve the sellabilty of the phone Good Video 😎
