20.12.2024 by otto magazin

Both of these devices are quite similar, with minimal differences — especially in terms of software. Let’s now compare the two most powerful devices on the market!

To be honest, there is a third competitor, but we won’t be discussing it today. Our focus will be on a head-to-head comparison between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

This comparison is rooted in hard numbers, and I encourage you to follow along with each point to see which device best suits your needs.

If you’re considering switching from Android to iOS or vice versa, this video will help you make an informed decision.


Display Comparison

The Galaxy features a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a 3120 x 1440 resolution.

On the other hand, the iPhone comes with a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a resolution of 2796 x 1290.

Based on the numbers, the point goes to the Galaxy.

However, it’s worth noting that the iPhone’s display is known for its exceptional brightness, color accuracy, and contrast.

  • Front Camera: 12 MP

Video Recording

  • Galaxy S24 Ultra: Supports 8K at 30fps.
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max: Supports 4K at 60fps.

Is this a deal-breaker? Absolutely not. Both devices offer top-notch video quality.

RAW Photography

  • Galaxy S24 Ultra: RAW images are approximately 72 MB.
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max: RAW images are approximately 60 MB.

Both devices produce outstanding RAW photos, but the Galaxy’s RAW files are slightly larger.

Based on the numbers, the point goes to the Galaxy.

However, it’s important to acknowledge that the iPhone consistently produces beautiful photos.

The Galaxy offers more advanced modes for creative users, whereas the iPhone is designed with simplicity and user-friendliness in mind.

The difference is clear. The Galaxy charges from 0% to 100% in under an hour, while the iPhone takes over 2 hours.


Security & Biometric Features

The iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with Face ID that uses 3D facial recognition sensors for extra security.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra offers facial recognition and a fingerprint scanner. However, I wouldn’t recommend relying on facial recognition alone, as it can be tricked with a photo.

When it comes to unlocking options, Android offers more flexibility, as it supports multiple methods of access.


Additional Features

The Galaxy offers several unique features:

  • 2600 nits peak brightness (great for outdoor visibility)
  • S Pen stylus for note-taking and drawing

    • 1TB: over 7000 SAR
  • Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra:
    • 256GB: 5399 SAR
    • 1TB: 6800 SAR

The price difference is minimal, especially for the 256GB versions of both devices.


Which Device Should You Choose?

If you’ve been using an iPhone for 5+ years, I recommend sticking with iPhone, especially if you have other Apple devices like a Mac or iPad.

If you’re an Android user, it’s best to stay with Android, as it offers more flexibility and customization.

Switching between iOS and Android has become easier, but it’s still a challenge. Adapting to a new system, transferring data, and learning new software features can take time.


The New Challenger: Honor Magic 6 Pro

We now have a third contender — the Honor Magic 6 Pro. This device adds a new level of competition, making it harder to choose between the Galaxy and iPhone.

I’ll be comparing the Honor Magic 6 Pro with the Galaxy and iPhone in a future video.


Final Verdict

Both the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max are phenomenal devices.

If you prefer flexibility, raw power, and faster charging, then the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the better choice.

If you prioritize simplicity, security, and better integration with other Apple devices, then the iPhone 15 Pro Max is ideal.

When it comes to resale value, the iPhone holds its value much better than the Galaxy. The iPhone’s price stays the same after a year, while the Galaxy’s price drops significantly.

Winner (by numbers): Galaxy S24 Ultra! wooow!

However, the best device for you depends on your needs and preferences.

See you guys!

The most powerful device from Honor Honomagic6pro!😨💥

In this review, we’ll discuss a very competitive device. This device reminds me of 2018! Welcome to the review of the Honor Magic6 Pro device. We’ve seen Honor taking steps forward until they’ve reached this level of competition. This is a premium Android device to compete with the rest of Android flagships, it also packs new technologies. These technologies are not only just a new CPU or modern specs.

Let’s find out whether this device is worth the time we’ve spent testing and experimenting with it! Let’s start! This device reminds me of 2018, as back then, the competition was at its highest, and boxes came with their normal size. Before we discussed the specs, let’s discuss the design. The device comes with two different colors: black or mint. The back has a leather-like touch, and there are 3 rear cameras. The frame is made from aluminium with light gold color. The device comes with the USB-C port, which offers great charging speeds. There’s also a stereo speaker at the bottom. The device comes with a front cutout for the front cameras and the sensors.

The design of this device is actually different than the design of the rest of the devices in the market. The rear camera design has been improving until we’ve reached this current beautiful design. The device weighs 229g. The length of the device is 162.5mm, and the thickness is 8.9mm. The screen is 6.8″, and it packs a lot of technologies. The screen has curves from all sides. The screen is covered with a Nano Crystal layer to protect it form crack and scratches. Honor says this screen is 10x more scratch and crack resistant than regular screens.

Honor has a previous great experience with their Honor X9b device. This device is 5 stars certified from SGS. The screen is FHD+ with 2800×1280 resolution. The aspect ratio is 16.69:9. It produces 1.07 billion colors and the pixel density is 453ppi. The screen is OLED and supports up to 5000nits of brightness with HDR support. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR Vivid technologies. It also supports 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and it depends on the brightness and the content you’re viewing. The device comes with the SD 8 Gen 3 with the Adreno 750 GPU. PUBG game supports up to 90fps. In Geekbench 6, the CPU scored 2204 points for the single core and 6652 points for multicores. Here’s where the CPU performance is ranked among other competitors.

There are more devices now with this CPU. When it comes to AI, Honor focused on the camera features, which I’ll discuss later in this review. The device runs Android 14 with MagicOS 8 on top of it. The storage is 512GB and the RAM is 12+8GB using the Extended Memory feature. Let’s discuss the cameras. The main camera is 50MP, and the Ultra Wide is 50MP as well with 122 degree of view. The Periscope camera is 180MP. Honor has managed to distinguish itself from others with this camera. Honor decided to use a high megapixel periscope camera with the use of AI to get great zoomed photos.

The device supports 2.5x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom. The optical zoom offers betters quality more than the digital zoom. It supports recording HDR videos with 4K@60fps using the rear cameras. The cameras support AI. Honor decided to let AI help taking the best photo. Honor has its own technologies that help with getting amazing photos, such as the Falcon Camera. And with using AI, the photos will be way better. We made our own tests to find out about these technologies.

We tested this device along with the S24 Ultra device from Samsung. And with slo-mo videos, the Honor device was better. We made the tests times, and the results were the same. In this case, AI helped to enhance the outcome. The front facing camera is 50MP as well, but it records 4K@30fps videos. However, regular users don’t need to record 4K videos as they consume a lot of storage. 1080p@60fps videos are great with better stabalization, and you can broadcast them on all kinds of monitors.

The cameras provide great details, saturated colors and high contrast photos. The stabalization of the 4K@60fps videos is great. The colors are always saturated. This is how the camera performs in different light settings.

Similar to Apple devices and some Huawei devices, this device still come with front facing sensors. Similar to Face ID, these sensors are secure to help you unlock your device securely. These sensors are fast and secure. They also help with eye-tracking. This feature helps with security using face tracking among other technologies. The device also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor, but the location of it is near the bottom, which is a bit bothersome.

However, the responsiveness of the fingerprint sensor is very high. The device also supports other unlocking methods, such as the passcode, pattern and face recognition.

The device comes with the second gen of the Silicon Carbon batteries developed by Honor. The size of the battery is 5600mAh. The 100W charger comes in the box. We tested it, and I’ll discuss the results later. It is amazing that this device supports fast charging. The device also supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. The device comes with a dedicated chip to help with charging. The device comes with the Power Enhanced Chip Honor E1 chip. This chip is supposed to help with fast charging in cool weather. The device supports 80W wired charging and 66W wireless charging. This is a great speed for wireless charging. The device also supports reverse wireless charging. The battery charged from 0% to 100 in 42 minutes. The S24 Ultra took more than one hour to fully charge, considering that the battery is also smaller. The charging technologies are great with this device.

Honor also added the Magic Portal feature, which uses AI to help with other devices from different eco systems. You can use this feature to search for things by touching and holding on an object to reveal the Magic Portal tray. It is similar to Circle to Search by Google. There are way more services that the Magic Portal can help with as well. It helps unify the Send and Receive platforms, and so on. Honor also focused on the Human Centric feature. You can connect this device with the tablet and computer to work as a unified platform. You can send/receive files from all devices and control the rest of the devices. The device supports 5G and WiFi 7, but you’ll need a WiFi 7 certified router to benefit from it. WiFi 7 and WiFi 6e offer great speed and stability.

The device also supports dual Nano sim cards. There is another chip that Honor added to this device called C1+ to control the antennas and help with calls. There is another chip called S1, which is meant for security and privacy. It is also called Dual TEE. This chip was developed by Honor and Qualcomm. The device supports NFC and IP68 water and dust resistant. The box also includes a protection cover.

Honor now has an official store here in KSA, and there is lots of offers for other products as well. There are offers for Honor laptops, wearables and other products. Check the store for more details. Honor promised to create a store at the beginning of the year, and now they’ve fulfilled their promise. The store offers a service called 2 Way Free Express Service. You can change the the screen protector twice for free.

You’ll also get a 6 month screen warranty. And you can replace the device within the first 30 days in case there is a problem with your device. The warranty is available in all gulf countries. The warranty for the device is valid for 2 years, in accordance with the Saudi laws.

The box include the cable, the charger and the protection cover. The charger supports 100W of fast charging, which is 20W more than what the device itself supports.

The design of the device is beautiful, and the battery is huge and supports fast charging. The cameras on this device are really great. I am very eager to make a comparison review with the iPhone and the Ultra to compare the cameras. Honor managed to offer cameras that indeed provide amazing results. The more competition there is in cameras, the better for end users. Users will benefit from these technologies and reduced prices.

I wished that the device supported an SD card, and that the placement of the fingerprint sensor is a bit higher. I also wished that the front facing camera supported recording 4K@60fps videos. The pre-orders are available on Honor’s website and other partners. To be honest, the device is a great competitor. The UI features, screen protection, and technologies Honor added to this device make it a great choice, especially with the design and price. .

Let me know with which device should I compare it!

See you later.

The lightest and thinnest 16-inch ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop!

Even though this device comes with the RTX 4070 GPU, its thickness is 1.5mm. It also has 1TB of storage. The CPU is the Intel Core Ultra 9. The device supports AI as well. The device is the only one in the market with an OLED screen with 240Hz refresh rate and G-Sync support. Let me introduce you to this device!

This is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop. This device comes with great specs and features. The frame of the device is made from aluminium, and there’s a lit slash on the back. At the bottom left, there’s an ROG logo. And there’s a Zephyrus logo at the bottom of the screen. There are cooling vents at the bottom of the device. The speakers are on both sides of the keyboard and at the bottom as well.

The keyboards are backlit and the trackpad is bigger than last year’s version. The device weighs 1.95kg. The thickness is 1.49mm. According to ROG, this laptop is the thinnest 16″ gaming laptop in 2024. The screen is 16″ with 16:10 aspect ratio. The resolution is 2560×1600. It is a 2.5K panel. It is an OLED panel with 0.2ms response time. It is a glossy display with 100% DCI-P3 support. It supports G-Sync technology as well.

The screen supports Dolby Vision HDR with supported content. The screen’s refresh rate is 240Hz. The screen is VESA HDR True Black 500 certified, which means produces great black colors. It is the first gaming laptop with an OLED display. And it supports G-Sync with 240Hz refresh rate! Let’s now discuss the internal hardware.

The GPU is the GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6 with 32GB LPDDR5X RAM. It supports Nvidia Ge-Force RTX Studio technology. The storage is 1TB M.2 SSD. The CPU is the Intel Core Ultra 9 with 7nm architecture build. This CPU has 16 cores, 6 of which are P COres, 8 E-cores and 2 LP E-Cores. It has 22 threads. It is an Intel MeteorLake, which is the first SoC with an NPU for AI tasks. This NPU makes computing and AI faster.

According to ROG, more 300 apps will support this NPU, and more than 100m laptop will support NPU services in 2025. By the way, ROG stands Republic of Gamers. This NPU also helps with enhancing the gaming performance and battery life. In Geekbench 6, the CPU scored 2390 points for the single core and 15184 points for multicores. In 3DMark Time spy Test, the GPU 11793 scored points. And with the Armoury Crate app, you control the device’s capabilities in 5 different modes. The modes are: Windows, Silent, Performance, Turbo and Manual. Forza Horizon 5 with high settings scored between 150 to 160fps. Doom Eternal with high settings scored between 60 to 88 fps. But with the Turbo mode on, we noticed that the fans kicked in and the heat was bit high. The Turbo mode uses all the laptop’s resources.

The laptop comes with an app from Asus called GlideX to share the screen and files. The app supports Android, iOS and Windows devices. This app makes sharing files between your computer and mobile easier. The laptop comes with a number of ports. On the right side there’s an SD Card slot, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery support. This means that you can use to connect an external display or charge the battery with.

It supports face recognition using the Windows Hello feature, to quickly unlock the device.

The battery charges with 200W using the charger that comes in the box. The battery is supposed to last for a number of hours. The box includes booklets, the charger, and a bag. The device comes with White Platinum colo.

The design is great, and the device is very thin considering the powerful specs it packs, it comes with an OLED display with 240Hz refresh rate.

I wished that, with the Turbo mode enabled, the fans didn’t kick in.

This device is a great investment for gamers who prefer ROG devices. Evaluate your needs before making a decision.

See you later.
