Transcripts
the s24 ultra and the 15 Pro Max are
packed of features and I've had enough
time to put them head-to-head and see
which one is the
best so first off we got to talk about
the biggest new addition to these two
and that is ai ai is basically being
added to pretty much anything and
everything now especially the s24 ultra
it has AI in its keyboard that helps
rewrite your message into a couple
different styles its Notes app has a
bunch of different AI features like Auto
formatting and summarizing it has AI in
its photo editor that helps with
generative editing and it has live
translate for phone calls which
translates what the other person is
saying from their language into yours
which is nuts but as cool as all this AI
is Samsung did mention it might only be
free until
2025 which is a little concerning but I
guess we're just going to have to wait
and see what happens the iPhone also has
a few AI features as well but unlike
Samsung Apple's approach to AI is
different instead of making AI that
generates things like text the iPhone's
AI helps a lot more in the background
for example its new journal app has AI
that helps with suggestions on what you
did throughout your day and what to
write about which is useful and there's
also personal voice that uses AI to
create a copy of your voice which you
can then use to chat with people around
you a pretty nifty feature and although
those are pretty cool to have the AI on
the ultra is just way more functional
for now so I got to give it the
[Applause]
[Music]
point while we're on the topic of AI if
you head into the ultra's wallpaper
section it also has this really unique
AI generation option so here you can use
AI to generate different wallpapers
which is something really cool to have
directly on your phone but the only
problem is it doesn't actually save the
images in your gallery which kind of
sucks overall though the customization
between the Samsung and the iPhone are
to No Surprise pretty similar they both
have almost identical lock screen
customization so you can customize them
to look almost exactly the same just
like you can customize your iPhone or
Ultra to look like mine using a sick
wallpaper from hworld tocom but the
Samsung does come with a lot of extra
customization features like installing
different clock fonts for the lock
screen which the iPhone is still limited
to just a few and then if you dig a
little deeper in certain stings there's
a few other things you can do to
customize the ultra even further like L
backgrounds lock screen video wallpapers
video call screen backgrounds and let's
not forget Edge lighting notifications
which I know you guys love and that's
just the tip of the iceberg the ultra
can also use good luck for way more
customization like customizing the Spen
design and even different Soundbar
Styles so although the iPhone does have
some slick customization it doesn't have
anything particularly unique to it like
the Samsung which you can basically
customize to look like anything you want
so it definitely get some
points okay so when it comes to sheer
performance and speed these two are
powerhouses the iPhone with its a17 Pro
chip has really surprised me with how
powerful it is and the ultra with its
Snapdragon 8 gen 3 made for Galaxy chip
is also equally impressive and for
General use of course they are both
super Snappy it's only when I push them
that I start to see some differences
like when testing them with video
editing this is where particularly saw a
big difference the iPhone was usually
extremely fast when rendering and even
though the ultra was slower it wasn't
too far behind and as for gaming the
only difference I saw was that the
iPhone usually started up a few split
seconds ahead of the ultra so not that
big of a difference and when it came to
actually playing the game they were
basically identical so although the
ultra is slightly slower overall a major
plus is that it has 12 gigs of RAM
compared to the eight on the iPhone
which means that it can have more apps
open in the background and still perform
super smooth but even with only 8 gigs
of RAM on the iPhone I didn't actually
ever see it slow down thanks to its
super efficient and snappy a17 Pro chip
so for Speed the iPhone definitely gets
the
point now it's pretty crazy at just how
important cell phone screens have become
especially since they're like the number
one thing we all look at and when just
looking at these two displays you
wouldn't say there's that much of a
difference but there's actually actually
two big things that set them apart and
firstly is the brightness the screen on
the iPhone is so bright that you can
probably use it as a flashlight and as
for the ultra it's even brighter than
that up to 2,600 knits and the second
reason is the reflection this is
something not a lot of people have
thought about up until now because the
Ultra screen has had a bit of an upgrade
it's now quite a bit less reflective
than before which you can't really see
on camera but you've got to take my word
for it it actually makes a pretty big
difference in compar comparison to the
iPhone's super reflective screen so
because of those two differences and
because apple is still buying their
screens from Samsung the Altra takes the
point but what about their
cameras now I know a lot of us make our
decision on which phone to get based on
how good the cameras are and these take
almost equally amazing photos and videos
but there are a few differences between
the two that you've got to know firstly
the Samsung comes with this new slow-mo
mode that can shoot real 4K video at 120
frames per second which the iPhone is
still stuck at doing in HD the Samsung
also has 8K video that has slightly more
detail than the 4k on the iPhone and
looks slightly more natural but can be a
bit shaky at times the 200 megapixel
sensor on the Samsung is also slightly
better than the 48 megapixel sensor on
the iPhone but the iPhone is not far
behind especially when you zoom in and
see some more of that detail and
speaking about zooming in the new 50
megapixel 5 time zoom lens on the ultra
still takes better Zoom photos than the
iPhone's new 12 megap 5 time zoom but
the iPhone still does some things better
than the ultra like portrait photos
which does just have better Edge
detection it also takes amazing pro
video that looks really natural which on
the ultra just looks oversharpened and
really shaky sometimes and it also
shoots in pror log like a cinema camera
which the ultra can't do so as you can
see they both have a lot of pros and
cons so for the first time ever I got to
give them both a point because their
cameras have never felt this
identical now on to some special
features that make these two stand part
starting with the most obvious one the S
Pen on the ultra most of us know it it's
basically been the same pen for decades
now and a lot of us love to use it but
besides that the ultra also comes with a
huge special feature that a lot more
people are starting to use and that is
decks it basically turns your ra into a
fully functioning computer that you can
have multiple windows and apps open
browse everything from your Ultra like
files videos and photos and even play
games with it the iPhone also has a
bunch of special features as well like
its action button that can be customized
to open up the camera app or anything
else it also has that super Snappy
airdrop and handoff that a lot of people
can't live without especially if you're
use a MC and a few others like name drop
a liar sensor for depth mapping
emergency SOS and Co car crash detection
and even the dynamic Island but it's
also possible that the ultra might soon
get car crash detection which is pretty
cool overall though as cool as all the
iPhone special features are I got to
give the point to the Samsung because
again as always its special features are
just more functional for day-to-day
use okay chatting about the batteries
now which are also so important and
straight up a bat the battery on the
ultra ra is slightly larger than the
iPhones so for General browsing on the
internets social media and YouTube the
ultra outperformed the iPhone by around
an hour or so usually getting around 13
hours before shutdown compared to 12 on
the iPhone it's also worth mentioning
that during my camera test of these two
I actually had to recharge the iPhone
whereas the Samsung I didn't have to
recharge at once and speaking about
charging using the same charging brick
and USBC cable the ultra recharged
around 40 minutes faster than the iPhone
which by today's standard the iPhone
just needs to be better so the ultra
definitely takes the point for this one
and if we look at the score things
really aren't looking so good for the
iPhone so something brand new to the s24
ultra and 15 Pro Max is that they now
both have titanium frames which
basically means they use a way more
expensive material for the frames of the
phones but makes them slightly more
durable and less heavy the iPhone
however does use a slightly higher grade
titanium than the ultra though which in
the grand scheme of things doesn't make
that big of a difference but does make
it a little more durable the ultra also
got rid of its rounded Edge display for
that standard flat screen which I do
prefer and it is just nice to see
Samsung bring a bit of change compared
to the iPhone that has looked the same
for a long time now other than that
they're basically the same quality just
with different designs so this really is
more of a subjective choice and because
of that I've got to give them both the
point now with AI being such a big topic
Safety and Security on our phones is
also super important and it's safe to
say that even with the AI on these
they're both super safe for example
Samsung implemented a switch inside its
AI settings that specifically tells the
ultra to process AI directly on the
phone instead of a server and apple have
also said that all the AI is processed
on the phone so that's also good to know
but besides AI both the ultra and iPhone
also have their own tracking apps called
find on the ultra and find my on the
iPhone in case you ever lose or need to
track your items they both also have
their standard security features like
the fingerprint sensor face unlock on
the ultra and face ID on the iPhone the
iPhone also has a special lockdown mode
in case you feel like you're busy being
hacked but that's really only for
special emergencies so overall I'd have
to say they're both equally secure and I
especially like how secure they've made
their the AI so again I got to give them
both the
point so with all these cool features
there's definitely a price to pay and
it's a pretty big price the s24 ultra
can be picked up for
$1,249 or
$1299 and the iPhone 15 Pro Max for £199
or
$1199 however these prices can change
especially when it comes to trade-ins
Samsung usually gives you better
trade-in value than Apple so although
the iPhone is slightly cheaper you might
actually end up paying more for it when
you trade in Samsung also gives some
sweet purchase gifts depending on where
you are in the world which is unheard of
from Apple but Samsungs do tend to lose
their value faster than iPhones so if
you plan on reselling your Samsung as
opposed to trading it in you would
actually get a lower value for it than
you would if you were reselling an
iPhone so for price because they're both
relatively the same and you get
basically the same value for Mone
I'll give them both the point but that
does not change the fact that the iPhone
got completely crushed by the ultra
making the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra the
winner and leaving me wondering what
will Apple do to catch up to the ultra
with the 16 Pro Max so make sure to sub
and stick around to find out but I'll
see you guys in the next one
