The Galaxy S25 Ultra is giving the world’s best high-end phone a run for its money this year, taking on not only flagships from Chinese brands but also the iPhone 16 Pro Max. While both phones are excellent in their own ways, the Samsung flagship stands out in six key areas.
Firstly, its camera system is more versatile, boasting a 200MP primary camera and a 10MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. The phone can capture stunning 8K videos at 30fps using all three cameras.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra also comes equipped with an integrated S Pen stylus, offering precision and control for note-taking, drawing, and more. Its tilt and pressure sensitivity make it ideal for professional-looking sketches.
In terms of design, the phone is lighter than the iPhone 16 Pro Max at just 9g, despite packing a bigger battery and S Pen. The screen also features Gorilla Glass Armor 2, reducing glare and reflections.
Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite takes the lead over Apple Intelligence, offering more effective AI-powered apps and features. Generative Edit works better for editing images, while Audio Eraser removes unwanted noises from videos.
The phone’s wired charging is faster than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with a peak of 45W that can top up the battery in just 30 minutes. It also charges from 0-100% in under an hour, compared to two hours for the iPhone.
Lastly, Samsung’s commitment to software updates puts it ahead of Apple, with seven major Android OS updates and security patches guaranteed for seven years.
