The Galaxy S24 Ultra might have been able to last longer than the iPhone 15 Pro Max in a previous battery drain test, but Apple’s top-end flagship retains its title of being the speed test king by beating Samsung’s latest and greatest flagship. However, both handsets were ‘neck and neck’ against one another, and it could have been anyone’s day.
Galaxy S24 Ultra narrowly misses victory against the iPhone 15 Pro Max by barely three seconds
The iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra represent the very best in flagship smartphone technology, with PhoneBuff returning with a speed test between the two premium competitors. Even with Samsung limiting its titanium-touting titan to just 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, it appears that it made some software improvements to its OneUI because at no point does the handset show any sign of stutter or slowing down as it maintained its pace with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Unfortunately, some apps are more optimized on iOS than they are on Android, so it is unfair to lay blame on Samsung when it not only used a slightly powerful version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to compete with the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s A17 Pro but also houses other high-end specifications to complete the package. Similar to the first lap, the Galaxy S24 Ultra managed to stay locked with its latest rival in the second lap, and at no stage does the flagship have to re-open any app, showing Samsung has improved memory management here.
Unfortunately, there can be only one winner, and on this occasion, it was the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which finished with a total time of 2 minutes and 54 seconds, with the Galaxy S24 Ultra in close pursuit, finishing the same test with a time of 2 minutes and 57 seconds. While there will be continuous rants from the Android camp, there is a silver lining too.
Earlier, we reported about an internal storage benchmark comparison performed between the two smartphones, with the Galaxy S24 Ultra featuring internal memory that was up to 75 percent faster than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, even though the latter uses NVMe onboard storage, so there is something to cheer about.
