Let’s compare it to the iPhone 15 Pro Max and see which smartphone comes out on top.

Design and Display

Many users didn’t like the curved screen on the S23 Ultra.

Luckily, the S24 Ultra, like the iPhone, now has a flat display.

This not only looks more premium but also makes it easier to use with fewer accidental touches.

The S24 Ultra boasts a 6.8-inch 1440p Dynamic AMOLED screen with an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1-120Hz.

Despite the iPhone’s slightly lower resolution at 1290p, the difference is virtually indiscernible at this screen size.

Overall, both displays are excellent, and you won’t be disappointed by either of them.

Besides that, the S24 Ultra’s camera setup is nearly identical to the outgoing S23 Ultra.

Ultimately, both phones have their own image processing algorithms, leading to different styles and strengths.

However, the icing on the cake is its ability to shoot videos in Apple’sproprietary ProRAW format.

On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro Max boasts Apple’s cutting-edge A17 Pro chip.

Both devices feature hardware-accelerated ray tracing, enhancing supported games with more realistic shadows and lighting for increased fidelity.
