And the colors differ too, at least a little.

So Samsungs screen is slightly larger and brighter, but otherwise similar.

So both phones have 12MP selfie cameras, and both offer 5x optical zoom on the rear.

Does that mean it’s better?

That said, we found the AI features something of a mixed bag, and sometimes useless.

And it’s paired here with 12GB of RAM.

So both of these phones are top performers.

So for slicker software, the iPhone is what you should choose.

So the Galaxy S24 Ultra charges a lot faster, as well as having a slightly bigger battery.

Apple contoured the edges on the iPhone 15 Pro Max

Is that a win for it here then?

Not necessarily, as it depends how efficient the phone is in the first place.

Battery life then isn’t drastically different but the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra does have the edge.
