HEY EVERYONE, JUST TO CLARIFY: I AM NOT BIASED TOWARD ANY PHONE BRAND. I USE BOTH THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S24 ULTRA AND THE IPHONE 16 PRO MAX, AND MY ECOSYSTEM IS SAMSUNG (WATCH, RING, ETC.). I put a lot of effort into making these comparisons to ensure they're fair and thorough. In this video, I tested the S24 Ultra’s Pro Mode at 4K 120fps, where stabilization is reduced, which may explain the movement in the footage. Keep in mind **the S24 Ultra came out earlier this year, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is newer with updated hardware. Both are great devices. Feel free to share your experiences or thoughts below! I'll be doing another comparison soon, and this time I'll show the exact settings on both phones to show that everything is transparent and nothing is altered to favor one over the other.
This comparison makes no sense at all. It's as if you compare the native camera of the S24U with the i16PM in Prores mode without editing it and at the end of that score to the S24 Ultra why the i16pm is very "gray" lol. Dislike for this biased comparison.
@ramonconteiro142 Hey I appreciate your feedback and totally understand where you're coming from about wanting a balanced comparison. However, I did specifically set both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra to 4K at 120fps for this test. This setup was chosen because it pushes both devices to their limits in terms of frame rate and resolution, allowing us to compare their handling of high-resolution video capture in similar conditions. When both devices are set to 4K 120fps, we're focusing purely on how each phone’s sensor, stabilization, and processing algorithms handle the same type of high-bitrate video output without any enhancement modes like ProRes or HDR10+ that could skew the comparison. This setup keeps things transparent and allows us to see how each phone handles noise reduction, sharpness, and dynamic range in identical settings. If I were to switch to ProRes on the iPhone or a native high-bitrate mode on the S24 Ultra, I agree that it would be less fair without post-processing alignment. But here, at 4K 120fps, we're directly comparing raw video capture performance. For further comparisons, I’m open to showcasing exact settings on-screen to ensure everyone can see that neither phone has an unfair advantage.
No doubt, the S24 Ultra is a beast with those crazy camera specs! 🔥 I've definitely been playing around with the AF and other features, and you're right-the quality is something else. Gonna be showing more of it in my next video!
Here is a twist bruh. I guess you didn't get it, so lemme tell you, the iphone is being recorded in 4k 120. But the samsung can shoot it in pro mode only, so in pro mode the exposure/iso/WB can't adjust automatically, the photographer have to do it manually, so the footage is not that great while in case of apple, it is adjusting all automatically, thats why the clip from samsung is not that good, but but, if you shoot the video in 4k /60 the samsung will definitely do as good as iphone with automatic HDR, in pro mode any phone can't adjust all those settings
Haha, as expected! But don’t count the others out too soon-there’s always a twist in the tech race! Maybe next year, we’ll be saying ‘Clear win for the Galaxy!
@@suzanacuravic Hi, I totally get why you'd be skeptical! 😊 To clear things up, I've made a new video showing the S24 Ultra side by side with iPhone 15 Pro Max here: th-cam.com/video/D5obz49oyi4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=llnwGP-bavwDc987
@@NasXplore hi, I have S24 Ultra and I also saw many comparisons with 15 Pro Max as with 16 Pro Max. Ultra isn't that bad for sure. Sometimes I swing it on purpose (music events) but video ends up steady again. Maybe your unit could be faulty?
@@suzanacuravic That’s a good point! It could be a unit issue, but I’m also wondering if you’re using Pro mode. I’ve noticed that when I switch to Pro mode, it introduces a bit of wobble, especially in certain lighting or motion conditions. Maybe give it a try and see if it makes a difference!
iphone video is just too good its not fair ! that being said I'm getting bored of ios and looking to switch back to either galaxy or pixel next year perhaps.
It's true, iPhone's video is basically cheating at this point! But I get it, iOS can feel like living in the same house for too long. Time for a fresh new Galaxy or Pixel
You’re right! Super Steady wasn’t on because I was using Pro Mode, and unfortunately, Super Steady doesn’t work in that mode. It's all about manual control there, so stabilization gets left out. Thanks for pointing that out! 😊
Good observation, Marcelo! It seems like the S24 Ultra struggles with warm tones like yellow and orange. Hopefully, they can optimize color stabilization in future updates to handle these shades better.
iPhones are known for their consistent and natural color processing, and Apple’s software optimizations in low-light conditions are strong. But we have to see because I think s25 ultra will have a big upgrade
@@tekmagar7968 Thanks for the support! It's great to see someone who appreciates unbiased content like I do. I’ll definitely make a video when the S25 Ultra releases-I'm sure it's going to blow our minds!
True, iPhone tends to push the brightness a bit, especially in HDR. It’s great for some scenarios but can be a little too much in others. Hopefully, we’ll see some tuning in future updates!
Here is a twist bruh. I guess you didn't get it, so lemme tell you, the iphone is being recorded in 4k 120.

@BIGG_1 I agree, the S24 Ultra does seem to have a cleaner output, but it's interesting how it sacrifices some stability and brightness. Do you think this is something that can be improved with software updates?
Hi @Yurii969, thanks for your input! I do own the S24 Ultra, and this video comparison was based on my personal experience between the S24 Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Some users, including myself, have noticed occasional stabilization issues in specific recording settings, particularly PRO MODE at 4K 120Hz. I’ve also checked forums where a few others have reported similar problems. I’ve updated to the latest software, and this could be a unit-specific issue. It’s definitely not a fake video-just a showcase of how the devices performed in this scenario. I worked hard to make this unbiased comparison. Thanks for your input.

It is not fake. It is just that the S24 Ultra only shoots 4K 120 in Pro Mode, which has requires manual inputs for exposure etc etc. This was not all mentioned at the start of this video as it should have been. It was like having a running race between two athletes with one competitor having both legs tied together.

It’s definitely a mixed bag when using pro mode. Some shots turn out great, but others could use improvement. It really depends on the situation and settings.
Appreciate the feedback! I used the S24 Ultra’s Pro Mode at 4K 120fps, which reduces stabilization. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has newer hardware, so both have pros and cons. But I can make another video and share the link to see,
Maker of the video seems too apple biased. Never in my life did the S21, S24 or S24 ultra make so much movement while making a video, its either faulty, or just made to look worse, than the actual. No way it looks like it's trying to balance, whlie standing still. Losing focus on a sunset WTF never ever happened.
Hey @luxii_youtube, thanks for the comment! Just to clarify, I’m not biased towards Apple-I actually use both the S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and most of my ecosystem is Samsung (watch, ring, etc.). The movement in the video is likely due to the S24 Ultra's Pro Mode at 4K 120fps, which reduces stabilization for more manual control. Hope that clears things up!
