On paper, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has the iPhone 16 Pro Max's number. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has 200MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP telephoto cameras. The iPhone 16 Pro Max only has 48MP wide, 48MP ultrawise, and 12MP telephoto cameras, respectively. The more megapixels often equates to more detailed and higher resolution photos.

As a Samsung user, I prefer the Galaxy S25 Ultra but is it the right phone for your needs as well or are you better served by Apple?

The world of flagship smartphones is once again abuzz with competition among three flagship phones that represent the pinnacle of smartphone engineering: Samsung’s newly launched Galaxy S25 Ultra, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max.
