S21 ultra look so handsome ❤
Both are great but for me more than the stats matter the os because i used ios for a year but needed to change the phone because it didn't feel right but i know that some people wuld like iphone design i can understand

Samsung is a brighter display however you need to be under sunlight to turn that thing up.
Facts
There is kinda a problem here mrwhose boss made the phone 60 hrtz and iphone has a better chip and more durable and better camera and it has some mixed battery tests
Qualcomm chip is years ahead, it is not just horse power which is also arguable, qc soc is triple processors isp's and incredibly more capable soc within 3x more AI and build in x60 ! Use iPhone 12 in nyc, your battery will not last long. Gs21u is so much more reliable 5g and battery a lot more capable. Camera is so much better, you can even photograph the moon! You have to try it!

Both are great,,but I'm an android guy,, I have the s21ultra and absolutely love it!
No doubt, it’s a marvel.
Great. Heard the exynos over heat much and crosses 10°c from the initial room temperature. Is that so? Because in my place the room temp will touches 40 in summer..
@@sivakumarvenkataraman7000 I have been using Exynos Version of S21 Ultra for a few days now. I live in India and weather in my state is currently on the cooler side but what are my first impressions are that it definitely runs cool.

You guy’s are so lucky!! Take care of them😁
Did you adjust the thermal profile? Galaxy labs allows you to change the settings so it will throttle when you choose.
When you done the camera test against the iPhone, did you make sure the colour setting in the Samsung was set to natural colour? Usually Samsung's over colour everything and I was pleased to see now you have the option in the Samsung to take natural colour looking photos. I would then like to see the comparisons?
Not to mention there is a setting in the camera where you can turn up the quality of your pictures at the expense of storage.
Thanks for the amazing review cos you really took your time. I just have a couple of questions. For the Samsung camera, did you use the 108 megapixel raw photo camera or the 12 megapixel binned camera? Because the 108 megapixel looses dynamic range when activated. Also for the speaker, was the Doubly Atmos turned on for the Samsung? I'm asking because it does have an effect on it's speaker quality when turned on.
Yes exactly not a fair camera test .
Exactly. Samsung just beat the hell out iphone 12 Pro Max 👍👍
literally, all your shots for the Samsung were out of focus
Yah, its very obvious. Hahaha
Because the 108MP sensor has much larger bokeh
It's Samsungs 108MP sensors fault. It has a smaller in focus area
@@shebjjeje9720 Apple will eventually have to up their megapixel count to add 8k recording and compete with others, or they could add a dual wide angle system with one being 12MP and another being 108MP
@@shebjjeje9720 no there's a mode to merge pixels by 9x so the main sensor effectively becomes a 12mp sensor on the ultra

How the camera quality because I want to get one
Now I have iPhone 12 pro max 512gb gold colour and I used 3 months. All performance so great when I am using and no lagging and speaker sound is loud and great detail. The most interesting for me is the lidar camera and the excellent video recording. No other smartphone can match my Iphone in night mode pictures except Samsung s21 Ultra.👍👍👍

@@lostleblanc1846 except it sucks as it has no ultra wide, LiDAR and stuff like thar
Both are great phones but I like the Samsung best.Thanks for the info.👍
Eses
You’ve been very clear and subjective all along your video test and this is what we want. Mind you that what you have done will facilitate people choices regarding to what they want the most in a smartphone. Thank you for your help.
Great video 👍🏼
I'm the less tech savy person. I am a droid person and thank goodness for youtubers! I can go threw a tips and tricks video to set my new phone up. Thanks for the straight forward comparison.
The iPhone seems to have a slight yellow hue to its white screen
That’s because the Samsung has a blue hue
iphone has True Tone enabled
Turn off true tone
However. iPhone screen is more easy to eyes
Yes it does lol my brother asked me why is it like that
Great and informative video. Keep it up. @2:40 though, only the front display has Ceramic Shield. The rear glass of the 12 Pro/Pro Max utilizes the same optical PVD coating glass as the iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max released back in 2019.
That camera on the S21. Major Major,Go!

Ahahahahha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great comparison 👏 very informative and now i decided what to get on my upgrade 😀 👍
Great to hear!
So, which one u get now ? S21 or iphone ?
unfortunately the camera test was a bit flawed. first of all your images looked really out of focus, not sure why, or how you managed to do that. second, that 108mp sensor is useless if you just show the photo. it's performance would have become obvious if you zoomed in the final photo for a crop, since it is there where you truly see the real amount of detail captured by it. otherwise it works like a normal 12mp.
Yeah for some reason his S21 Ultra pics were blurry. I can say I don't have those types of issues on mine
Plus the 12mp binning is enable out the box not the 108mp. Which works better at low light like the pictures appear to be in. Also no night shots which will show lens flares all over on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Main Camera test has been won by galaxy 21 in most camera comparisons from many different reviewers on TH-cam
When it comes to pictures iphone wins. When it comes to videos Samsung wins. It should of been a tie
@@elvatoloco136 actually it’s the opposite, if you watch mrwhosetheboss videos about those two phones, the 12 is great at videos while the 21 is great at pictures
yeah I have used both these side by side... to me s21 ultra wins in most cases in both cam and videos.. basically I phone gets 8.5/10 and s21 ultra gets 9/10
Very good review , well done
the 21 uptra has the under - sun mode that shoots the brithness overlimit
@@debater6673 lmao not really you don't need to crank it that high unless outside, where Samsung's is then in the 900s. So it wins.
brightness of s21 ultra > sun
Thats exactly the point cuz the brighteness outdoor hes definitly higher and better on s21 ultra (1010 cd/m2) against 845 cd/ m2 for the iphone 12 pro max.
I was on iphone but i want to try the Samsung s21 ultra lol so I ordered that this year.
Ultra is amazing.
@Inom Maga it’s amazing I love it
What lol in that idiot
Dont buy exy2100 but get snapdragon ver.. i regret buy s21u with exynos.. camera laggy and gaming moba ml also laggy 😢
Do u miss your iPhone?
This was the perfect head to head comparison thank you for your work
The speaker test was a huge miss... The Samsung sounded less synthetic than the iPhone
Yeah
Yeah tbh the Iphone 12 pro max sounds a little maffled
Great video!
Honestly when I go back to the iphone, I feel like I'm going back in time...old plan jane operating system and limitations (compared to ONEUI), 60hz display, can't multitask like pin apps or split screen, can't use my phone as a computer, can't charge my watch or buds, huge notch, weak optical & digital zoom, face ID sucks wearing masks. The experience just sucks!
When Apple brings 120hz, iPad OS, touch ID, and a more appealing design to the iphone...then I will think about going back.
But anyways good video!
for me battery life is the primary concern. pictures and videos can easily be edited. s21 wins.
I totally agree with you never going back to apple
Agreed
If battery life is your concern then u would go with the 12 pro max it’s not about the milliamps on paper the s21 ultra has the bigger battery but iPhones software and optimization is so good that it beats the s21 when it comes to actual battery life and usage
In my opinion, you shouldn't have used the 108 mp on the s21. I think that the regular settings work the best for Samsung
Exactly when using 108mp it loses some settings, if you use the other ones you get hdr and all that better stuff
@@C-C_LandonLego maybe...means 108 MP is smh useless? Anyhow I'm stunned by that 12 MP sensor performance
s21 ultra has wifi6E, faster but shorter 6Ghz expanded allowable band
Great vid! Thx
the low brightness is good on S21 when your at bed and you want to make it ever more lower
When you played the track Dolby Atmos at Samsung was on or off?
You have to waste the time to do that on Android??? iPhones already have both speakers working
@@Unknownuserhtps You do not waste the time by clicking one time/dolby atmos icon
@@oumitmoumin when I got my Samsung s21 ultra, I believe my dolby atmos is on by default.
@@buffpotatochua5147 in s10 plus is not, s21 ultra i do not have but check it in quick settings if is on or off :)
Also the phone set up is different! The mic is closer than the lower grill than the upper grill and vice cersa, hence, very INACCURATE. Also, dolby atmos is not on by default because again, it is a matter of preference and Samsung gives you the freedom to turn it on or off unlike iphone.
Watching from an old OnePlus device. I think both devices have what you'll need to get through the day. Can't say which is better for now. Wait till i get rich, then I'll give a solid answer. But until then cheers!
I would like to see a home repair on both and see if they will still function. Like a simple screen replacement or a charge port. It would be very interesting .
Out of curiosity Samsung main sensor can output 12MP downsampled images, could you compare both main sensors at the same resolution to see if there is a difference?
By default, S21 Ultra gives pixel binned 12 MP photos. 108 MP is an option.
@@anirudhpuranik5222 I know that, but in the video it was stated that they were the 108MP images not the 12MP binned ones
That is my point exactly. At 108 the small pixels will be detremental where as the binned 12 version will act like it has large pixels and give a much cleaner image.
@@donalcotton6113 so basically y’all saying the 108 mp camera is useless then 🤔?
@@rodneystevens7834 its great for landscape photos and zooming
Love your content
Did you shoot in 108mp mode because the HDR won't be as good
I think he did. He didn't use the 12 bit bending. 108 mp is really good but you really have to know how to use it
Best review so far man❤🙌 not biased...only thing which differs these phones is the os now🙌
epic video, I wish i could have one of these phones before my birthday (november 4th)
S21 ultra after note 20 ultra in love with both but display is just superb
Excellent review!
If you have any Android, unlock developer features and set animation scales from 1.00x to 0.50x
Your phone will now feel twice as fast as all the slow animations and menu movements are essentially doubled in speed 🤙
Or turn them off completely and it's almost instant when you press things
Why use 108mp though. Use the pixel binned 12mp like how it's supposed to be on the s21U.
Only the Primary cameras were tested. Binned cameras not included. In full camera test I will be testing all cameras.
@@ChigzTech Exactly. You took away the versatility of Samsung. You should have given them 1 point each or not at all. Also, in the setting you can set natural or warmer picture on Samsung, since the color tone is a matter of preference and Samsung gived you the freedom to choose. Very inaccurate. Alson in the speaker test, the mic was in the middle so with samsung the lower grill is closer to mic and on the iphone it is the upper grill. Again, inaccurate.
@@johnp.g.2146 u do realize reviewers use the stock camera in testing without any changes right ?
i would choose the S21 for it camera 108MP like hey you might need that at one point also the extreme-far zooming capability lol for taking photos from a very far away spot
The S21 ultras pictures when it's in pro mode with some minor tweaks to WB and CON take better photos.
18:52 I like the final score
It's quite funny how majority of videos I've watched In the comparison of cameras for the 12 Pro Max against the S21 Ultra the S21 Ultra comes out on top. Majority of the pictures taken for this video by the 12 Pro had too much saturation. The S21 ultra-zoom is by far way better than the Pro Max I think the point for the cameras should have went to the S21 Ultra. All the unbiased reviews I have watched have been the ultra.
You should do the test with the Snapdragon processor. You will most like get different results especially with the pictures/videos
One of the best real phone comparisons I've ever seen
Rather, it helped me a lot in deciding my choice for my next phone between them, because what matters most to me is good photography, pure surround sound and stable performance, in addition to the quality of design and materials.
I salute you very much for this video
From today I will follow your channel and your reviews
I continue
Thanks, glad you liked
Which one did you choose tho
Have the s20 and upgraded to the 12 pro max now I got both so I honestly have no complaints
which do you find yourself using more often?
I think IOS is better than Android. My opinion
Very informative review. Thanks!
😁😁😁👍👍👍.. another great one chigz.. samsung ❤️
Yes indeed, thanks for watching dude.
Still picking S21 Ultra. Im still using my Samsung A8 2015 i have 2 issue of owning this phone. Battery but i replace already. And lagging about 10-15sec when data is turning on from off. Maybe next month i will upgrade to S21 Ultra 5G. And 12 Pro Max for my wife.
Was dolby atmos enabled for the samsung s21 during the sound test?
You should add a score for privacy, the iPhone stops apps including Facebook from tracking you, there’s also a light to let you know if something is using your camera or mic without you knowing
True, iphone is very serious when it comes to privacy
That’s a good point. Thanks will keep this in mind.
Samsung s21 ultra has this as well there's a green light dot that turns on to let you know if ur mic or camera is on
Did you have on Atmos on the S21?
Dolby atmos is available from S9... So it has
@@ForWhhY he's asking if it was enabled cus u can disable Dolby atmos
Both are great 👍
Most camera reviews pick s21 ultra's camera over the pro max, but i understand, this is the exynoss version. In arun's exynos vs sd888, the s21 ultra with the sd888 prduce better photos
Nice work 💪
Thanks 🙏
Are you shooting the s21 Ultra on auto?
Nice to know that the best phone is S21.
12 pro max first iPhone ever luv it 8 months no complaints
This review is fun. I love it.
Glad to hear. Thanks
Im having a problem which of these phone i will buy, since my s9+ having a drop frame rate ㅜㅜ
3:55 thats a w for samsung no? Kinda sounded like you pefered a brighter lowest
Yeah, checking how low they can go en then prefering the brightest 😂. It will burn your eyes at night
@@tjerkstrikwerda1557 it wasn’t really that much brighter though
@@OnePieceOfATheory but it's brighter though.
@@gadgetreviews1855 I'd rather have a phone that can go darker than brighter. Anyways the samsung has higher brightness than the slider that automatically turns on when it's really bright
That's quite surprising with the camera test.
Great review subscribed to your channel 👍 I got the 12 pro max this time last Samsung I had was the s10 plus , still liking my Samsung’s though this s21 looks awesome 🤩
Thanks for watching. 🙏
Curious, what do you think of your decision to go iphone from s10+? I'm on the fence. I've always been anti apple, pro Samsung
How the hell IP won in camera tests while Samsung has much more to offer like better optical zoom, better color reproduction?
It’s was just a main sensor test. My full camera comparison is coming soon.
Samsung s21 ultra soo handsome 😍😍😍♥️
Really good video man! I like how honest you are about opinions being subjective and even though in the video you can sort of tell you were rooting for the iPhone and still gave the honest win to Samsung shows good integrity on your part as a reviewer so people don't have any idea about their biased opinions but you did a good job keeping everything fair. Good review!
No one takes photos with the 108MP mode only.
The normal mode in 9:16 or 16:9 looks better
He totally forgot to mention the sound customization on the Samsung galaxy s21 ultra, that would have made the sound quality much better.
Nice comparison.. how about the temperature increase when we use camera from initial temp. For how long we cab record without overheating in s21u & iP12Pro max
Neither phone overheats when using the camera. I have recorded around 45 mins 4K 60 on both and they both handle it fine. Gets slightly warm to the touch. Does not exceed 45 degrees Celsius.
I wonder if he made sure that the camera lenses were clean, I find that whenever camera lenses are dirty you never ever get the best results.
Good video comparison but I'm surprised that the exynos did better than the a14.. thought the a14 was the king by far...
Watching on my S21 ultra 🥰
Pretty comprehensive review, but missing some of the professional photo/video distinctions. The Samsung shoots RAW 108mp photos without the in-camera sharpening, noise reduction and gamma adjustments. You’re really comparing their compression and in-camera processing, which is fine for 90% of users but not a true comparison. Pro mode video and photo is an important distinction.
Intro music name plzzz?
Not a fair review since it's the Exynos version Wich is less powerful than the Snapdragon 888
The camera part is not fair, and also no iphone has Bluetooth 5.1 they are all bluetooth 5.0.
Also try activating the Dolby Atmos on the Samsung if you really want to test the sound 🔊.
ATMOS was active on the Ultra.
He doesn't know to take the Samsung out of that high megapixil mode and put it into standard 12mp mode. Then compare. SO many camera comparisons between these two phones out there show a clear advantage for the S21 over iPhone. Your camera comparison made the S21 look like hot garbage for some reason. Also I noticed a ton of hand shake on your 10x zoom picture. I can take beautiful ear 10x pictures on my S21 Ultra. So it's pretty clear people shouldn't watch just one video comparison of these two phones cameras. I've had every iPhone made so far, including the 12. And this new Ultra of mine has better cameras overall and flexibility, by far. I don't understand why and how your S21 shots came out so dark and grainy. I'm using the USA SD 888 but still. I don't understand it. Mine takes amazing photos.
@@MrOldskool1974the Samsung is only better for zoom. According to DXO Mark the iPhone scored much higher
@@mauricedicke9527 Dxo doesn't mean anything. Try it for yourself
U didnt take proper photos.....👎
Fyi the more pixels the better detail when zooming into the photo after taking it. That's why it seems blurry or "less sharp" try zooming in to you results with the 108mp on the s21🤙
It seemd bit bias review, specially when reviewing camera which is the most important part of a mobile. Only main camera was reviewed even without checking the zooming effect, where samsung outshine many aspects than iphone in cameras, but that was not considred when giving extra score for iphone. I would say both should be given 1 each minimum
There was two tests which equals a point better video and better pictures idk what you complaining about and no he wasn’t biased at all he was fair and he did use what there is just because your favorite phone doesn’t beat the iphone in camera doesn’t mean to complain like for the iPhone xr the note 10 came out it had better cameras then my xr did I bitch and moan nope because it is newer and better technologies.
True. Very biased
Every other TH-camr: S21 Ultra have better and more true colors this year than iPhone
This single TH-camr: iPhone better photos and more true colors.
Agreed
1 test is not a total. For example, I'd like to of seen a macro test. That's not possible on the iPhone I believe? I guess we will have to wait and see the full camera comparison test. Should be interesting. Oh, and by the way, I'm a Sony fan, but must admit, I'm blown away with the Samsung
the iphone sounds like you are playing it through a phone in a microphone but the s21 sounds like you just plopped the sound in the editing software
I have both but find myself using the iPhone more. Android needs a better native messaging platform both for texting and email. Also visual voicemail would be nice like on the iPhone. I know there are other apps you can download but these are things that should be perfect on a 1200 dollar device. Cameras are awesome but a bit gimmicky, not that superior to the iPhone. S21 display is amazing, just wish the software was on par with the hardware. They have come a long way. Other than the above, the S21 kills the iPhone in every other way. Ready to see what the new Note line will offer.
Watching on my s21 ultra!

Ipbone's 60hz screen and big notch is horrible but sound quality in iphone is superb

I'd be all over the S21 but they haven't fixed social media yet. Instagram Stories looks so bad compared to iPhone. Even if you upload from Gallery , the videos get compressed
yet? they have never fixed it and never will you can blame arrogant Instagram and Snapchat developers for not caring glad I deleted them both.
