iPhone 15 Pro Max: Camera Battle
This is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This is the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Today, were pitting these two flagship phones against each other in a camera battle to see which one reigns supreme. Last year, the iPhone 15 Pro Max edged out the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with a score of 6.5 to 3.5. Lets see if Samsungs 2024 flagship, powered by advanced AI, can claim redemption.
**Slow Motion and Special Modes:**
Samsungs S24 Ultra steps up the game with 4K slow-motion at 120 frames per second, a feature long-awaited by enthusiasts. This true 4K slow-mo with no strings attached allows for breathtaking details, especially noticeable on larger screens. Combined with the ability to slow down any video instantly by holding down on it, Samsung reclaims its title as the slow-mo king. In the category of special modes, which includes portrait video and macro shots, Samsung edges out the iPhone due to its crisper macro shots and the versatile editing options in its camera app.
**Selfies:**
Samsung continues to outshine with its selfie capabilities. While the iPhone is consistently good, Samsungs best shots are notably better, often rivaling rear camera quality. However, the iPhone maintains sharper details in some scenarios, such as when capturing multiple faces. Nonetheless, for most users, Samsung's selfies are more impressive and visually appealing.
**Video Quality and Noise Reduction:**
Samsung has made strides in noise reduction, a crucial area where previous models lagged. The S24 Ultra delivers crisper faces and less noise in videos, though the issue isnt fully resolved. Dark areas still suffer from noise, especially during movement. While Samsungs front camera video can sometimes look more realistic, the iPhone continues to lead in dynamic range and overall noise control, making it the preferred choice for vlogging and video content creation.
**Camera App and User Experience:**
One of the biggest improvements in the S24 Ultra is its camera app. The updated design is more user-friendly, with smoother navigation and easier access to various modes. You can now change photo resolution with a tap and manage video properties more intuitively. Samsung also offers extensive customization, allowing users to set default camera modes and personalize functions like burst fire photos and GIF creation. The iPhones simplicity is commendable, but Samsungs flexibility and advanced options give it an edge.
**Editing Features:**
Samsungs editing suite, enhanced by AI, significantly surpasses Apples. Features like background effects, photo remastering, and reflection erasure are impressive and user-friendly. Samsungs new generative AI image editor allows for powerful photo adjustments, such as moving subjects and erasing unwanted elements, though it requires an internet connection. While apple ipad givess editing tools are fast and efficient, they lack the depth and innovation seen in Samsungs suite, particularly in leveraging AI for post-processing.
**Zoom Capabilities:**
Zoom has been a stronghold for Samsung, but the S24 Ultra sees a surprising change. The shift from a 10x zoom lens to a 5x lens, despite being higher resolution, results in slightly reduced long-distance zoom capability compared to the S23 Ultra. When tested against the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the iPhone often captures more detail, even without going beyond 25x zoom. Samsungs aggressive software processing sometimes leads to overly sharpened or artificial-looking results. However, Samsungs zoom consistency, aided by the extra 3x lens, maintains high-quality images across various magnifications.
**Portrait Mode:**
The S24 Ultra excels in portrait mode, offering both 3x and 5x zoom options, giving users flexibility in framing shots. The iPhones fixed 5x zoom can be cumbersome in close quarters, whereas Samsungs dual options cater to different shooting scenarios. Samsungs portraits feature excellent edge detection and natural background blur, making it a standout for portrait photography.
**Audio Quality:**
Both phones deliver excellent audio quality, with sensitive microphones that capture clear sound even in challenging environments. However, in noisy settings, Samsungs aggressive noise cancellation can cut into the vocal clarity, whereas the iPhone balances background noise and vocal clarity more effectively.
**Final Verdict:**
In our comprehensive comparison, Samsungs S24 Ultra scores 6.5 points to the iPhone 15 Pro Maxs 4.5. Samsung has made significant improvements, particularly in user experience and editing features, but the iPhone remains strong in video quality and zoom performance. Despite Samsungs advancements, the iPhone's consistency and reliability keep it a formidable contender.
And now, as promised, the losing phone faces the ultimate test getting shot by a tank. With bated breath, we fire a 100 mph explosive paint grenade at the iPhone. Remarkably, it survives unscathed, proving that Apples durability matches its performance.
Stay tuned for more exciting tech battles. Dont forget to subscribe for more in-depth reviews and comparisons!

What's up guys? Saf here on SuperSaf TV. It's June already, and that means we're halfway through the year. It's time for my top five smartphones of the year so far. Typically, top five lists and smartphone awards come out at the end of the year, but that often means amazing devices from the beginning of the year get overlooked. Plus, you might want to know the best options available right now, not at the year's end. That's what I'm here for.
Before we start, a few disclaimers: I've tested a lot of smartphones this year, but not every single one. So, if your favorite isn't on this list, we can still be friends. Drop your picks in the comments below, and if enough of you want me to cover a particular phone, it might make my end-of-year list. Also, this list is in no particular orderthese are just my personal top five favorites of 2024 so far. And guess what? There hasn't been a new iPhone release this year yet, so no repair iphone will be on this list.
First on my list is the **Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra**. It came out early and set the bar for 2024 flagships. The new flat display, Gorilla Glass armor, and improved five X zoom camera make it a standout. It's powered by the 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip, and no matter the region, you get the same consistent chipset. The S Pen is handy, and Samsung promises seven generations of Android OS updates. However, while its packed with AI features, I rarely use them. The S24 Ultra is pricey at $1,300, but Samsung often has great deals. The S24 and S24+ also deserve an honorable mention for offering similar features at a lower price.
Next up is the **OnePlus 12**, the most underrated smartphone of the year. Starting at around Ł850 in the UK or $800 in the US (currently on sale for $700), it's almost half the price of the S24 Ultra. It boasts a 120 Hz Pro XDR display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and excellent flagship-level cameras. Its 5,400 mAh battery with a 100-watt Supervooc charger offers fantastic battery life. OnePlus promises four years of software updates and five years of security updates. The OnePlus 12R, at $500, is also a great deal, especially for gamers.
The **Honor Magic6 Pro** is another great all-around flagship. It features a symmetrical design, a 6.8-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display with a 5,000 nit peak HDR brightness, and the highest PWM dimming frequency at 4,320 Hz. Its cameras are excellent, including a 50 MP primary camera with a variable aperture and a 180 MP periscope zoom camera. The 5,600 mAh battery offers superb battery life, and it supports 80 watts of supercharging. Honor promises four years of OS updates and five years of security updates. Theres also a special edition Porsche Design Honor Magic6 RSR, priced at Ł1600, for those wanting something unique.
For those on a budget, the **Nothing Phone 2a** is a unique option. It has a cut-down version of the glyph interface seen on the Nothing Phone 1 and 2, with a transparent design. It features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, the custom MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro Chip, and a 5,000 mAh battery. Priced at Ł320 or $350, its a good deal for a distinctive device that handles day-to-day tasks well.
Lastly, the **Poco F6** offers great performance on a budget. It's powered by the 8s Gen 3 mobile platform, with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. The 120 Hz AMOLED display and 5,000 mAh battery with 90-watt turbocharging make it excellent for gaming. At around Ł340, its an amazing deal. The plastic build might not matter much since most people use cases, and it comes with one out of the box.
Honorable mentions go to the Oppo Find X7 Ultra and Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, which arent readily available in the West, and the ROG Phone 8 Pro for gaming enthusiasts. The vivo X100 Pro, released in 2023 but still a 2024 smartphone, is also noteworthy.
Those are my top five favorite smartphones of 2024 so far, with a few honorable mentions. If your favorites differ, that's finedrop them in the comments below. Stay tuned for my end-of-year top five list and the SuperSaf Style Collaboration. Thanks for watching, and Ill see you next time!
