Into two inner dark zones enter the flagship smartphones-iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra-they take you into their worlds. Both gadgets have superlative feature sets with gorgeously performing work. But only when one gets talking about these two giants, truly does one justice figuring which would better suit you.
Design and Build
iPhone 17 Pro Max:
Very new from an aluminum and glass build; the feel is naturally premium at about 233 grams weight and 8.8 mm thickness; Cosmic Orange is the new colorway.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra:
The curves do give it a premium look. Titanium and glass body is perfect. The weight is only 218 grams and thickness is just 8.2 mm. On top of that support for S Pen-an additional plus.
Display and Graphic Quality
iPhone 17 Pro Max:
6.9The display is Super Retina XDR OLED and has a refresh rate of 120 Hz and peak brightness of 3,000 nits.
Galaxy S25 Ultra:
6.9-foot dynamic AMOLED display 2X with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and peak brightness of 2600 nits.
Both displays create almost the same bright impression for HDR content but I feel the iPhone display is little more superior.
