16 Pro Max screen features Apple's newest ceramic Shield material that it claims is two times tougher than any smartphone glass. The s24 ultra features Corning Gorilla armor cover glass that Samsung says helps make the phone more scratch resistant. Both the 16 Pro Max and the s24 ultra are rated IP68 so they're water and dust resistant. The s24 ultra comes with an S Pen stylus that stores inside the phone. There is no such feature for Apple's new flagship but I will never stop asking for an iPhone stylus or at the very least apple pencil iPhone compatibility perhaps I am just speaking into the void here someone send this to Tim Cook please.

Next let's talk cameras. The 16 Pro Max has a three camera system it has a 48 MP Fusion camera with an F 1.78 lens a 48 MP ultrawide camera with an f2.2 lens and a 12 megap telephoto camera with an f2.8 lens and a five times optical zoom. The s24 ultra on the other hand has a 4 camera system it has a 200 megap wide camera with an f1.7 lens and a 12 megap ultrawide camera with an f2.2 lens it also has one 10 megap telephoto camera with an f2.4 lens and a three times optical zoom and another 50 megap telephoto camera camera with an F 3.4 lens and a five times optical zoom and for your selfies both phones have a 12 megap front camera. The one on the 16 Pro Max has an f1.9 lens while the one on the s24 ultra has an f2.2 lens. The 16 Pro Max can shoot video in 4k up to 120 frames per second plus spatial video for The Vision Pro in 1080P at 30 frames per second it's worth noting that you can also capture spatial photos for Vision Pro. The s24 Ultra can shoot video in 8k up to 30 frames per second.

Stay tuned for our camera test because there are some differences and similarities between these camera specs but you really don't know how things look until you start snapping some photos. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a brand new camera control button press it once to open the camera app press it again to take a photo or hold it to take a video you can also press it to start getting info about your surroundings through that visual intelligence feature I talked about earlier in its glow time keynote Apple showed you how you could use it to identify a dog breed for example. The Galaxy s24 Ultra includes Google lens which also uses the camera and AI to scan your surroundings but this phone doesn't have a similar camera control button.

That being said the s24 ultra's S Pen can be used as a camera remote to take photos both the 16 Pro Max and the s24 ultra have USBC charging ports both phones also support wireless charging in but the s24 ultra has reverse wireless charging too so you can juice up other devices from the back of the phone. And to my dismay none of these phones include a charging Brick In The Box Apple doesn't disclose battery capacity but says the 16 Pro Max offers up to 33 hours of video playback.

The s24 ultra has a 5000 Mah hour battery in her s24 Ultra review my colleague Lisa at aico found that after a busy workday doing things like checking email and social media a lot and even streaming some music and video she still had 55% battery left after roughly 13 1/2 hours I love taking photos and videos and I am chronically online so I'm notorious for getting even a pro Max battery to drain faster than you might expect so I am very excited to test this new 16 Pro Max battery especially because Apple claims this phone offers a huge leap in battery life and you know I'll of course be filming as I put the battery to the test so I can share my findings with you.

Last but not least let's talk colors. The 16 Pro Max comes in desert natural white and black titanium while the s24 ultra comes in black yellow Violet and gray there are also samsung.com exclusive green blue and orange colorways those are some of the key similarities and differences between Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max and Samsung's Galaxy s24 Ultra you can check out cnet.com for even more spec details on these premium phones and you can pre-order the iPhone 16 Pro Max on Friday September 13th or maybe now depending on when you're watching this and the phone will be released on September 20th please let me know your thoughts on these devices in the comments below and thank you so much for watching
