The Galaxy S24 Ultra boasts a striking 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate. Notably, it introduces the Vision Booster, elevating outdoor visibility with an impressive 2,600-nit peak brightness. The device stands out with a flatter display, and slimmer bezels, and marks the first Galaxy phone with a titanium frame, reducing its weight significantly.
The camera system is a standout feature, featuring a 200MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP 3x telephoto camera. An exciting addition is the new 50MP telephoto camera with 5x zoom, offering optical zoom levels from 2x to 10x, thanks to Adaptive Pixel Sensor technology. Storage options include 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB, each paired with 12GB of RAM. The phone comes in Titanium Gray, Titanium Black, Titanium Violet, and Titanium Yellow, starting at $1299 in the US.

On the other side, Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display and ProMotion technology. Powered by the A17 Pro chip, Apple claims unmatched performance, potentially reaching high-end PC levels. With a redesigned GPU, Apple envisions revolutionary capabilities, particularly in mobile gaming.
In the photography department, the iPhone 15 Pro Max features a 48-megapixel camera, enhancing low-light performance and minimizing lens flare. Users can switch between focal lengths (24mm, 28mm, 35mm) and achieve 5x optical zoom capabilities, extending up to 120mm. These models support 4K60 ProRes video recording and direct connectivity to external drives via the USB-C port.
