Great review. Diehards for Apple will disagree but I appreciate the objective comparison.

              while in gsm arena's testing s24U's photos generally look better, there are slight differences between the two pictures taken by the two phones in every scenario. maybe if these slight differences were accounted for/ eliminated, the results would be different!
              gsm arena's comparison is somewhat feeling based like "hey we like the color of this photo more even though the other one's colors were more accurate". there is little to no effort to make things comparable in a structured and somewhat scientific way.
              exactly the opposite of DXO mark. in their scoring/comparison things are A LOT more structured and evidence based. just go and see s24 ultra's scoring for example(or any other phone, idc) the difference betweens the gsm arena and dxo mark reviews is night and day. so many different scenarios that each highlight a camera's weakness or strength, so much attention to detail, all the structured and organized data and so on. thus in my opinion dxo mark's results hold weight

                Of course there always will be better cameras, maybe faster CPU on newer models, but an S Ultra phone will please your requirements for years.

                        So your conlusion: people choose based on the OS.
                        You knew that before you started the comparison. So why compare in the first place?

                          To address the idiocy here:
                          1. DXOMark isn't reliable.
                          2. Cameras are mostly subjective.
                          3. Don't listen to youtubers.
                          4. The S24 Ultra is cheaper.
                          5. The S25 series is coming pretty soon

                            So, we can say hed-to-head match.....until we reach the bottom line, where Iphone costs about 50% more than the competitor.

                                  It is known fact that dxomark is shill for apple. they never discussed the the analytic ways they use!
                                  Also in dxomark S24U rank 4 with 155 for display

                                  Sometimes they cant do the shiling and such thing happens.

                                  P.S I don't trust and nor accept dxmark in any way!

                                      I would prefer 8-bit over 10-bit that actually is 8-bit + FRC which is inferior. Viewing distance has nothing to do with bit depth that has everything to do with pixel density where S24U is among the best with 505 PPi.
