Transcripts
the iPhone 16 Pro Max is here it's the
best we have from Apple how does it
compare to the best from Samsung the
Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra well let's put
these head-to-head super saf Style on
find out so initially let's look at the
build and the design now the design for
both of these is pretty incremental if
you look at the s24 ultra it looks a lot
like the s23 ultra which looked a lot
like the s22 ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro
Max looks a lot like the iPhone 15 Pro
Max which looked a lot like the iPhone
14 pro Max but regardless I do like the
design of both of these and we have
titanium so that is the new trend Apple
introduced this with the iPhone 15 Pro
Max and we have grade five Titanium on
the iPhone 6 Pro Max like we did last
year the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra has
grade 2 titanium now I am no titanium
expert but I did do some digging and it
turns out that grade 5 titanium is a
higher grade of titanium that is alloyed
with small amounts of aluminium and
Vanadium am I saying I'm literally
reading this out I mean it may as well
be vibranium but anyway it also has a
higher strength to weight ratio than
grade 2 titanium and it's more scratch
resistant we've also got grade five
Titanium on the Mars rover so clearly it
is quite premium so take from that what
you will I'm not somebody who does
durability or drop tests when it comes
to the size the iPhone is slightly
larger than the iPhone 15 Pro Max that
we had last year
but it is still a little bit more
compact I would say compared to the s24
ultra it's slightly thinner it's not as
wide and it also weighs a few grams
lighter now I would say that the iPhone
is the more comfortable device to hold
because we do have sharp edges on the
s24 ultra now for the colors we have
four colors on the iPhone 16 Pro Max and
apple have called all of these titanium
so we've got natural titanium black
titanium white titanium and a new desert
titanium which kind of looks like a gold
to me Samsung saw what Apple did last
year and guess what they've also called
all of their colors titanium so we've
got titanium gray titanium black
titanium Violet and titanium yellow but
we do have three additional colors
available exclusively from samsung.com
titanium blue titanium orange and
titanium green how many times have I
said titanium but anyway if you want to
get one of those three exclusive colors
I will leave my affiliate link down in
the description below and there will
also be some of the latest offers now
both devices do have an ip68 water and
dust resistant rating however you can
submerge the iPhone 16 Pro Max into
water deeper compared to the s24 ultra
I'm not sure how much that's going to
matter to you right now let's turn these
around and take a look at the displays
so in terms of the materials the iPhone
16 Pro Max comes with the latest
generation of ceramic Shields So This Is
the Gen two ceramic Shield which is
supposed to be 50% tougher than gen 1
and they have said that it is two times
tougher than any other smartphone glass
once again I'm not going to be the one
testing this with the Samsung Galaxy s24
Ultra you have Gorilla armor now this is
supposed to be four times more scratch
resistant than the previous generation
and it's also got apparently a 56%
improved durability now to see which one
of these is more durable we're going to
have to wait to see some scratch and
drop tests from the likes of Jerry rig
everything and foam buff but in my
experience both of these are pretty
durable now one of the advantages we get
with Gorilla armor which is exclusive to
the s24 ultra is that it reduces
Reflections by 75% and having used the
s24 ultra for the past few months I have
to say this is so so useful the
anti-reflective display does make the
blacks appear even deeper now the
display sizes the iPhone actually has a
slightly larger display compared to the
s24 ultra but they are pretty similar in
size we've got tiny bezels on both of
them I really can't see which one is
smaller I would say the iPhone is maybe
a tad smaller compared to the s24 ultra
both of these are using OLED technology
so they've got beautiful colors and they
are both 120 HZ displays so everything
is super smooth but the S4 ultra gets a
few advantages firstly it does have a
higher pixel density so things are just
attach sharper but more importantly it
does get brighter compared to the iPhone
16 Pro Max both of these support always
on displays and the s24 ultra just has a
small punch out whereas we have a larger
Dynamic Island on the iPhone 16 Pro Max
now overall I think both of these are
beautiful displays some of the best that
you're going to get out there and you
really can't go wrong with either
however if I was to pick one it would be
the s24 ultra it's less reflective it's
got a higher pixel density and it is
brighter now although the punch out on
the s24 ultra is smaller compared to the
dynamic Island on the iPhone 16 Pro Max
the dynamic Island actually has more to
it you've got lots of different
animations and things which I really
appreciate when you're waiting for a
flight for example you can see the timer
on there I personally don't use it as an
interactive element because it is the
topmost part of the screen but you can
if you want to but most importantly the
dynamic Island contains the sensors for
face ID something that we don't have on
the s24 ultra now for all the wise asses
in the comments saying oh the s24 ultra
does have facial unlock yes it does but
it's not the same Samsung themselves
tell you that it's not fully secure
because it is just using the selfie
camera it doesn't have any additional
sensors like we have on the iPhone 16
Pro Max what we do have on the s24 ultra
is the Qualcomm 3D Sonic sensor Gen 2
now this is my favorite fingerprint
scanner on any smartphone it's quick
it's reliable and most importantly it's
convenient and I think personally it's
more convenient overall compared to face
ID and that's because if you're somebody
like me who uses your smartphone in bed
and your face is tucked into your pillow
then you're not going to be able to
unlock with face ID it does need to see
your face and I find that quite
frustrating whereas with the s24 ultra
you can just tap it and go now that is
my personal preference yours might be
different now for the cameras this is
usually the part where sidf comes in to
remind you to subscribe and hit that
Bell icon if you haven't already wink
wink nudge nudge he is having a bit of a
break shall we say I need to make a new
clone but anyway if you do want to see
more videos like this and you're
enjoying it you know what to do so the
cameras I have done a detailed super saf
style camera comparison between these
two it's 25 minutes long I spent a whole
week on it didn't sleep much so I would
definitely recommend checking that out
if you want a detailed breakdown in
comparison of all of the different
cameras I'll give you a short overview
however so for the selfie cameras both
have 12 megap selfie cameras I think
both of them take great selfies for the
rear facing cameras the iPhone 16 Pro
Max has a triple rear facing camera
setup we've got a 48 megapix Ultra wide
camera which is new this is up from the
12 megapix camera that we had last year
on the iPhone 16 Pro Max there's a 48
megapix Fusion primary camera and then
there is a 12 megap telephoto camera
which will give you around five times
optical zoom the s24 ultra actually has
a quad camera set up so we have a 12
megap Ultra wide a 200 megap primary
camera a 50 megap 5x telephoto zoom
camera but we also have an additional 10
megap three times zoom camera for video
both of these do film at 4K 120 frames a
second the s24 ultra if you are shooting
this you can only do it in pro video
mode or if you are in actual slow motion
on the iPhone 16 Pro Max you can shoot
normal video at 4K 120 frames a second
and then you can go into the photos app
and change the speed as you like you can
also record press video with SL log on
the iPhone 16 Pro Max which gives you a
lot of flexibility in grading after the
fact but the s24 ultra can shoot 8K
video this is something that you can't
do on the iPhone 16 Pro Max now in my
testing the s24 ultra does get an
advantage when it comes to the three
times zoom camera so anything from 3 to
4.9 times is going to be better on the
s24 ultra I also like the flexibility of
having 3x portraits which are very sharp
it's also got better extended zoom in
good light and I believe that's because
of that high resolution 50 megapixel
telephoto camera and surprisingly in my
experience it also has a better Ultra
wide camera giving you sharper results
compared to the high resolution Ultra
wide camera of the iPhone 16 Pro Max the
iPhone 16 Pro Max I would still say
gives you better overall video with ex
excellent dynamic range and especially
in features like cinematic mode it does
better compared to the s24 ultra I also
really like the next generation of
photographic styles on the iPhone 16 Pro
Max we've had photographic styles on
iPhones for a few years now but they
have been pretty Limited in that you
would have to set your photographic
style and then take the photo but with
the new iPhones you can actually go into
images that you've already taken and
then apply photographic Styles and it's
not just like applying a filter because
there is a lot more information to work
with and then you're not just relying on
Apple to give you the colors they think
are best generally when I speak to
people they do find iPhone images a
little bit too muted and they want a bit
more Vibrance and sometimes when it
comes to skin colors they can be a bit
too orange well now you don't have to
worry about that because you can set the
photographic style that you like you can
take images with that it's also
available in live preview and if you
want you can just go in later and then
tweak these things as well the iPhone
also has better low light images overall
I found and it's also a lot easier to
shoot in low light with the iPhone
compared to the s24 ultra because of its
preview which brightens up now overall I
have to say both have some of the best
cameras out there and I have no problems
shooting with either of these they of
course have some advantages and
disadvantages versus each other once
again if you want to see that detail
super saf style camera comparison that's
going to be linked down in the
description now let's talk about
performance so the s24 ultra comes with
the qualcom snap Dragon 8 gen 3 for
Galaxy this is a 4 NMM chip the iPhone
16 Pro Max comes with the a18 pro which
is a 3 NM chip now I've done some
benchmarks and testing and the iPhone
does come up quite a bit higher compared
to the s24 ultra now I know a lot of
people are going to be saying in the
comments the s24 ultra is around 9
months old now so obviously the iPhone's
going to be doing better but even
compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max
because that also had a 3 NM chip versus
that 4 NM chip on the s24 ultra and it
did perform better in many instances so
when it comes to the raw performance I
would give the edge to the iPhone 16 Pro
Max you can also play console level
games on the iPhone 16 Pro Max like
Resident Evil Village or Assassin's
Creed Mirage this is something that you
can't do on the s24 ultra but having
said all of that on your day-to-day
you're not really going to notice a
difference between these two both of
these perform very very well now let's
talk about software so we of course have
Android versus iOS
the s24 ultra comes with Android 14 and
I've just had a huge oneui update the
iPhone 16 Pro Max comes with iOS 18 out
of the box now traditionally Apple
devices were supported a lot longer than
Android devices were however recently
Samsung has been promising longer and
longer software updates so with the s24
ultra you will be getting seven
generations of Android OS updates and 7
years of security updates this actually
exceeds what Apple usually give which is
around 5 years they don't actually
specify how long they're going to be
supporting the devices for but generally
it is around 5 to 6 years now which one
of these you prefer is going to of
course come down to your personal
preference I do like that we now have
some more customizations on iOS 18 I can
finally finally move icons around this
is something that I've been saying for
many many years if you look at my
comparison videos from years ago I've
been going on about it I would still say
Samsung gives you better and more
customized Iz ation you can just see
here I've got five columns of icons
whereas on the iPhone I can only have
four even though I have such a large
display it seems like such a waste of
space I also love the small icon
previews that you have an Android which
you don't have an iOS however iOS is so
much more optimized for so many apps
compared to Android I mean just to give
you some examples only recently did we
get dark mode on Tik Tok on Android it's
only been a few months whereas we've had
it for years on iOS
also when it comes to things like adding
hashtags to stories on Instagram for
instance I can only do one hashtag
anymore and it just doesn't seem to work
on Samsung whereas on the iPhone I've
never had this problem having said that
I do prefer the multitasking overall on
the s24 ultra the iPhone is quite
aggressive at closing things in the
background and just up until recently
even if you wanted to post an Instagram
story you'd have to keep the app open
for it to finish posting otherwise it
wouldn't do it and when you try to
upload a real it literally tells you
keep Instagram open for it to finish
whereas I've never had to worry about
this on Android you just let it upload
go ahead do whatever else and it will
finish uploading in the background so
we've got advantages and disadvantages
for both but fundamentally it's going to
come down to which operating system is
right for you now it's 2024 so we can't
do this comparison without talking about
AI the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have apple
intelligence currently it has launched
without it but it is is going to be
coming via an update from October the
Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra comes with
Galaxy AI now there are lots of features
to cover and obviously I can't do a
detailed comparison as yet because Apple
intelligence is not available but I'm
going to give you my top three features
my top three highlights firstly on the
s24 ultra based on what I've been using
and then on Apple intelligence of what
I'm looking forward to one of the things
that I use all the time on the s24 ultra
is browsing assist this lets you
summarize pages with click and it's so
good especially when you've got those
long articles which you just don't have
time to read I really like circled
search you can just circle pretty much
anything and search for it and it's
actually very very good but my absolute
favorite AI feature on the s24 it's
something that actually came recently
with an update and that is sketch to
image you can just sketch whatever you
want on an image and it's going to use
AI to make that into something more
realistic so you can change your
hairstyle if you want you you can add a
cat into your picture whatever it is I
actually find this very very fun now
with apple intelligence I'm actually
looking forward to Priority
notifications because currently I prefer
how notifications are displayed on
Android compared to iOS I'm looking
forward to the ability to summarize long
emails and I'm also very much looking
forward to image playground where you
can create an entirely New Image based
on a description suggested Concepts or
even someone from your photos Library I
think this is going to be a lot of fun I
guess what we can do is when Apple
intelligence is available I can do a
detailed Apple intelligence versus
Galaxy AI comparison let me know down in
the comments if you'd like to see that
right now it's time for the bonus round
let's talk about some of the bonus
features each of these devices offer so
with the iPhone 16 Pro Max you have
emergency SOS via satellite and we're
also going to be getting emergency SOS
live video you've got crash detection
we've also got roadside assistance via
satellite now thankfully I've not had to
use any of these but it's nice to know
that these are there you also have a
light R scanner which is great for AR
and we have some additional buttons so
firstly we have the action button which
is up here you can customize this to do
whatever you want whether that's an
accessibility shortcut or even opening a
particular instance in an app now yes
people going to say you can do the same
with the power button on the s24 ultra
and no that is not the case by default
you have very limited functionality with
double press of the power button on the
s24 ult ra compared to the dedicated
action button and this year we also have
a brand new button which Apple don't
call a button and that is the camera
control now this you can use to launch
the camera and it's also in the perfect
position as a trigger once again yes you
can launch the camera by double pressing
the power button on the Samsung Galaxy
s24 Ultra but this is not the same as
camera control the camera control also
has lots of additional functions so you
can press down lightly to adjust things
like your Zoom or exposure you can
double press to switch between all of
these as well I personally like it to
switch between the cameras now the bonus
features that the s24 ultra has firstly
deck this is a great way to have a
desktop experience using your smartphone
wirelessly on pretty much any TV that's
compatible the other thing that we have
on the s24 ultra is this the Spen now
sure the Spen might not be something
that you use all the time and personally
I don't use it all the time I use it
maybe every few days but when I do use
it it's so so useful especially with the
new Galaxy AI features like sketched
image and the Spen also has Bluetooth so
you can use it remotely say as a trigger
for the camera on your smartphone now
speaking of the speakers speaking of the
speakers we have stereo speakers on both
one in the earpiece and one bottom
firing and they both sound very very
good now if I was to pick one then I
would say that the iPhone does have
better overall speakers they are full
and give you richer sound compared to
the already good speakers on the s24
ultra now touching on some of the other
features we have USB type-c on both
devices Apple finally switched to USB
type-c last year and I'm so glad this is
here and both devices do come with a USB
type-c to USB type-c cable out of the
box but you do get a nicer braided cable
on the iPhone 16 Pro Max also when it
comes to transfer speeds as far as I can
see the iPhone 16 Pro Max does have
faster up to 10 G gbits a second
transfer speeds whereas the s24 ultra
has around five both devices have Wi-Fi
7 so if you have a compatible rout
you're going to be able to get some
amazing speeds and we have eim only in
the US for the iPhone 16 Pro Max here in
the UK thankfully we still do get a SIM
card tray on the iPhones and then you
can have an additional Sim as an eim on
the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra you have
eim support but then you do get a
physical SIM card tray wherever you are
and in certain regions you'll get a dual
SIM card trade too now for the batteries
so the s24 ultra does have a larger
physical battery compared to the iPhone
16 Pro Max but as I always say size
doesn't always matter now in my testing
and in my experience the iPhone has
given me better battery life compared to
the s24 ultra if you want to see
specifics then my friend Tom the tech
chap has done a detour battery drain
test and you can see the results in that
but in my experience of using both of
these I'm getting around 10 to 15%
better battery life on the iPhone of
course usage will vary from person to
person but I think you will find that
the iPhone gives better battery life to
the s24 ultra which does give you pretty
good battery life anyway now although
neither of these come with a charger out
of the box you will be able to get
faster wide charging on the s24 ultra up
to 45 wats and that's going to give you
around 50% in 20 minutes on the iPhone
16 Pro Max you're going to be looking at
50% in around 35 minutes but when it
comes to wireless charging you will get
15 wats of wireless charging on both
however if you use mag safe on the
iPhone 16 Pro Max then you can get up to
25 wats now to be able to achieve this
you are going to need a new mag safe
charger the one that has the braided
cable and you will need to plug it into
a 30 W adapter or higher and although
you can charge other devices with the
iPhone if you use a USB type-c to USB
type-c cable on the s24 ultra you do
have wireless power shares so you'll be
able to charge things like your earbuds
at the back of your phone now finally
the price so the s24 ultra actually
started at a higher price compared to
what the iPhone 16 Pro Max is starting
at for the base 256 GB versions and
although in the UK the 512 and 1 TB
versions are priced the same in the UK
for both devices the s24 ultra is higher
in the US now having said said that the
Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra has been out
for quite a few months so you can get
some really good deals for it I'll try
to leave some affiliate links down in
the description below but you'll be able
to get this at a much lower price or
you'll be able to get much better deals
on the s24 ultra compared to the iPhone
16 Pro Max and that is the detail super
saf style comparison between the iPhone
16 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy s24
Ultra I think both of these are
excellent Flagship devices you're going
to get advantages and disadvantages es
on both the iPhone has arguably the more
premium build and it's more comfortable
to hold it also has better battery life
and speakers and then you've got things
like the action button in the camera
control the s24 ultra on the other hand
has the S Pen which makes it unique it's
got a better display overall I would say
and it has that additional 3x zoom
camera it's a very difficult decision of
which one of these to pick I think it
might just fundamentally come down to
which operating system you prefer I
don't think you can go wrong with either
of these as lot of the regulars on the
channel will know I always keep two
devices with me at all times one Apple
device and one Android device and these
two are my picks this year that's what I
think anyway what do you guys think drop
me a comment below let me know your
thoughts let me know which one of these
you would pick also let me know which
device you'd like me to compare the
iPhone 16 Pro Max to next I've done lots
of other coverage with the iPhone 16 Pro
