    You can clearly see this starting to show up in both Samsung's and Apple's flagships
    Their software is good, but their camera hardware are not able to keep up with the competition
    Companies like Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo are too trying to refine their software, but they also put great effort into the hardware side of things, because both are needed for the best results

        Why pictures from ip15 are 12mpx? default mode is 24 mpx with more details, so this mode should be used to comparison with s24u.

Phonebuff and TechNick have both had the iPhone win for example, though only by a hair. And yes I have seen tests where the Ultra wins as well.

          I think in the end, you will get great battery life out of either, though I would be very interested to see what an iPhone could do with a 5000mAh battery, seeing as the 15 Pro Max can already hang in with the Ultra, even though it has a 12% smaller battery 🤔

            I agree, it is a draw, just depends which operating system you prefer. S24 Ultra is better at some things and 15 Pro Max is better at other things.

            I am just interested how you tested the battery life. Because every single test (that I've watched and read), Samsung won by 30 to 50 minutes. So I'm wondering how are you the only ones that got 2+ hours better battery life out of 15 Pro Max.

            Were the settings all the way up on Samsung and all the way down on iPhone (brightness, resolution, refresh rate, etc.)?

            Not being mad, just an honest question. Because you're the only ones that got a result like that.

                SGS24 Ultra beats iPhone 15 Pro Max in pretty much all the photo samples. Nice job.

                Not by a huge margin but substantially.
