To me, it heavily depends on if you have other Apple devices like Macs or iPads. If you do, the iPhone 15 Pro is better. If not, the S24+ is better. Personally, I wouldn't consider an iPhone because of al of the middle fingers Apple is giving to app developers.

Yes! This is the review I wanted. I don't think the 15 pro should be in the same league as the S24 ultra. The S24/24 plus and the 15 pro are more equals in my personal opinion.

To me, you are the most relatable ( except the YT stuff ) and reliable reviewer . No BS, straight to he point. Even that short s23 vs s24 comparison was super useful. Thanks for making such a great video.

Go with the S24 Plus, which has a better battery. AI, the camera stuff is not that big of a difference, and if you want that, then go with the S24 Ultra. In my opinion, the iPhone is the Xbox, and Samsung is the PlayStation. Xbox strarted strong, but in the end, PlayStation dominated with innovation, and I believe that will be the same with Samsung; they are the future of phones.

Best review i have seen so far. No bias, just truth. Doesn't use facts that nobody understands, just uses laymen's terms and allows us to make our own decisions and gives real world examples. Thank you. God Bless and take care!!! Think i have decided on the iPhone 15 pro!!!

I've been watching this man's videos for a while now, and he's one of the few youtubers making concise, unbiased, and no-nonsense videos. He speaks facts, and doesn't overhype unnecessary marketing gimmicks (like titanium). He simply tells you the way it is - how you, the user, would experience things as you use the product. I wish creators like you the very best, keep up the good work and keep delivering us quality reviews. Thanks.

i like the way u make ur videos simple and comprehensible!. even though im on tech field, i cant properly understand when reviewers show too much numbers and expect us to understand it !

Was looking for a video like this. Unlike some YT's you haven't run around AI. Good comparison.

I love the design of the iPhone and originally I am an iPhone user but I haven't had one since the iPhone 5 (my favourite phone). I wondered whether I should give it a try again but I went for the S24... Apple just loses the software battle

Samsung does have an action button its used by double tapping the power-key twice. You can bind anything you want to it, I also use it as a flashlight.

Thanks for the comparison Matt. I think both of those are excellent phones, and the choice is going to boil down to the user's preferred ecosystem. My buddy is team Samsung and he just got the new Ultra, and I'm happily mired in the Apple ecosystem.

I refuse to use iPhone because you cant use 3rd party accessories and modded apps

I just took the same Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas last weekend. Allure was a fantastic ship as were the shows onboard. Makes me wish I'd pulled the trigger on the S24+ a couple weeks ago for my family trip pictures. Although my old reliable Galaxy s20FE did a serviceable job as did my wife's iphone 13.

Brilliant and Awesome review between iPhone 15 Pro vs Samsung S24 Plus

Action button. I prefer the sidebar with many many apps with one swipe.

The video I was looking for. Perfectly summed up. Have been an android user all my life but wanting to try something different so might gravitate towards the iPhone. Especially since all my friends are iPhone users as well.

Hi Matthew! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. If you would, I'd like to get your insight on this: I'm torn between the iPhone 15 Pro and the S24 regular because I cannot comfortably sit down with the larger phones in my pocket. It's clear that both phones have excellent screens, very good battery life, and great hardware performance, so my purchasing decision will come down to which phone offers better camera quality and exclusive features. Since both phones offer very high-resolution main cameras and 3X zoom lenses, the question of which phone camera is better will be decided (for me) by which phone captures the colors and light of the scene exactly as my eyes saw it. (I must emphasize this because so many people seem to be interested in having a phone camera that gives them aesthetically pleasing colors and good visibility rather than accurate colors and true-to-life visibility.) With this in mind, I noticed a few patterns arise in the image comparisons. (I agree that the iPhone's video is better, but I'm not concerned with that much since I take 100 photos for every video I take.) First, the elephant in the room: I was stunned to see that the S24's front camera takes pictures as a mirror image of reality rather than the right way around! You can clearly see this in your parking lot selfie with the street address number (205) and the word "soccer" being mirrored in the Samsung selfie, but not in the iPhone's. How did Samsung not fix this during development? Can you change that in the settings, or are you stuck with it? After seeing that, I was sure I would get the iPhone, but the story doesn't end there. The first image at 10:00 brilliantly shows off how the S24 accurately captures the glare of the sunlight reflecting off the water at an angle, while the iPhone makes it seem as if your eyes could perceive the texture of the water in that part of the scene, which I really doubt was the case. Further, the Samsung shows an appropriate visibility of the shadows of the trees around the parking lot, while the iPhone crushes the blacks. The image at 10:04 on the iPhone shows the water as a pretty aquamarine color, but my intuition tells me the S24's rendition of the water was closer to what you saw with your eyes. Can you remember which it was? In the image at 10:15, the entire scene is bathed in a golden orange hue, which I would expect at that time of day, but the iPhone removes it completely and makes the image artificially dark. (Look at the trees) You said that the S24 overbrightens night shots, but the image at 11:18 clearly shows the iPhone as being more overexposed than the Samsung. Finally, the image at 11:25 on the iPhone shows the light being a yellow color, while it's white on the Samsung, which seems right. To its credit, the iPhone did seem to consistently show a more accurate blue color in the sky. For someone with my priorities, which would you recommend?

Good honest review. Thx man

Just got my S24+ yesterday. I traded in my Pixel 8 Pro, and I'm enjoying it.

I've compared both of these phones in daily use and they both have pros and cons but i do agree on the situation regarding apparent dull colours on the S24! It is still oversaturated compared to Iphone wich is what i have used for the past 4 years but i'm in the minority that likes that it's not as oversaturated as previous generations, i do however find white balance to be better on iphone it kind of looks more yellow on Samsung. It's hard to chose between these two as the iphone cameras,speakers and general usage are a great experience but the S24 software,display and ease of use with my pc make it tempting to switch over! The usb-c to usb-c cable with my 15 pro doesn't even connect to my pc it only charges if i plug it into any of my usb-c ports meaning i can't utilise faster transfer speeds anyway making the "upgrade" to usb-c non existant for myself. It really comes down to preference if you have an apple watch,airpods,ipad,macbook etc then iphone is obvious but if you aint into the eco systems then i think the s24 offers a good alternative even if you just want a break from iphone. Ps. the dynamic island app on android is amazing it works the same essentially so you don't have to lose out on that if you like it.

Quickly Double-Press Sumsang's Power Button, and make yo phone turn on flashlight. Works flawlessly on my S22 Ultra. I like the concept of Action Button, but it's placement [especially on the Pro Max], makes it rather useless.

It's been quite a few years since I last watched your videos and can't understand why you're not in the million subs yet

Hey great job on the comparison and price wise you can always get the Samsung one cheaper. So before the pre-order I bought a s21 ultra for $350 and I traded it in at Samsung for $550 saving me $200 and like you said they doubled the storage during the pre-order and they also gave $125 for accessories. Now the iPhone pro isreally good phone but there's never a sale with an iPhone and they don't give you really great trade-in value. I'm more of an Android guy anyway so I'm very happy with my s24 Plus.

Been a subscriber for almost 6 years. I love it when you said that making a tie is a bad way to make a comparison video and you mention context. I feel like most people who buy iPhone Pro models does not maximize its video potential. As a normal user, that is also the reason why i sided with Samsung

Watching on my S24+

What I'm always curious about when reviewers go into camera pics/video is: did they only use auto settings? Are manual settings available and, if so, can they get better results from switching to manual? Not to take away from auto click-n-shoot-sometimes time is of the essence!-but it's also nice to know what a camera is really capable of.

I’ve watched a lot of reviews of phones and this reviewer is the best I’ve seen.

How come you got that Apple TV app on an Android Phone? I was aware that it was not available for Android devices except Android TV OS. Sideloading Apple TV APK doesn't work either.

From a longtime Galaxy user since the S1, the screen currently on the S24+ is in fact notably more dull on a quite significant level when compared to prior Samsung devices. For those of us that want the vividness of Samsung phones, it's not there and is a huge disappointment tbh. When I first turned on our S24, my first comment was what was wrong with the screen without prior knowledge that this was an issue.

I use goodlock and registar to customize the hold powerbutton shortcut on my samsung. You can set it to flashlight, silent mode and other things

Just got the Black S24+ yesterday, damn I love big phones but they could even go bigger for my own feels

1st time honest conclusion ❤

In the end, specs and looks are secondary. People will compare iOS vs Android only. In Brasil, for example: people buy Apple for the status, they don't use iMessenger, FaceTime and don't own any other Apple device (Apple watch sometimes)

2:40 yeah it's a very useful button but as far as I know you can use Android's power button to do the same functions with double click if you enable it so they definitely not as con convenient as separate button but it's something I guess...

Great review

Remember the S10 /S10 PLUS..... It has the Bixby Button which could be remaped to everyapp you wanted. This was the FIRST action button.

Which one would you say is better for carspotting / car photography? Like say I spot a Bugatti across the street and I need better zoom instantly.

They should focus more on enhancing the quality of their pictures on social media. They look beautiful in the gallery, but when uploaded to Facebook, they become less attractive. Even Apple takes great photos that don't lose quality when uploaded to social media. It would be better if they collaborated with social media sites like Facebook or TikTok. if you want innovation choose samsung but if you are like to take pictures and post it to social media better choose iPhone because samsung picture is great only in the gallery.

Coming from old samsung phones note 9 and note 20 now s24+ the screen saturation is really dull. I hope future updates can fix it or at least give us option to change based on our preference

Bias yet not bias, imagine that on KZfaq where you make money for content

I think for photos it's a tie. In some of the photos, I feel the iPhone was more vibrant and vivid and Samsung shots looked more natural & toned down. Some shots, it was the other way around. It really does go back & forth. For videos, iPhone is still king.

I'm loving my regular s24. And yes, it does have a washed out display. I hope a software update will resolve it

Kudos. Most sensible comparison vid.

For all complaining of the dim screen on the S24+ there is no need for a firmware update...Turn on Vivid mode, turn off the auto adjust feature for the screen display ( it dims/brightens the display by adjusting to the lighting in the room or outdoor brightness/darkness, and don't use Dark mode setting ( Dark mode is actually like ECO mode saving battery features applied ) ...The S24+ doesn't need a firmware update the user needs to know how to use the phone before complaining....

pretty balanced comparison!

In Vivo y20 press and hold the volume down button and it will do the same thing as the actions button does.

Where did you get this shirt and which brand?

I personally liked last year slightly rounded design. Right now they just all look the same

Excellent review 👏 ❤❤

I got $863 trade in so it was a no Brainer. Waiting for my S24+ in the mail. Listening to you makes me feel like I made a good decision giving up me S21 ultra.

The s24 plus does have an action button, it's called the power button.

The s24+ has an action button too infact every samsung has an action button

Magaling talaga sya sa review. Kung merong di maganda sasabihin nya talaga. More power matthew - from philippines.

I say either one could be the right one, cant go wrong with either.

Im so torn between iPhone 15 pro and Samsung s24+/ultra.. cant decide which one i should get.. im just hesitated aboutt exynos on s24+.. any recommendations??

So you watch Doc, subbed😃

I appreciate you highlighting the differences between each phone but in the end, picking an iPhone or any android comes down to what you operating system you prefer and if you have other apple or android products. I bought a s24 plus and the iphone 15 pro never came into consideration. It was between s24 plus and the ultra. Because I prefer android software.

Apex Legends... I see you're a man of culture! Great review as always!

So it looks like you made the jump to the smaller device now @Matthew Moniz. Did you change the color on purpose as well? Last time it was natural. Now black. Can’t lose with either IMO.

Dear Matthew, about the display, the comments... they are not stupid. I bought the S24 and gave it back because in comparison to my S21 FE, the colours looked seriously washed out. Also, in comparison to other S24's that you could find in Samsung showrooms, the colors also looked similarly washed out. This is not a saturation satisfaction issue, something really is not working properly with the display, in some models at least.

You can map flashlight or mute all to the buttons of the S24plus

I had both an chose the iphone the galaxy screen is dull to my eyes the colors look washed(for a sammy display) the finger print scanner was average or even below the cams on the iPhone to my eyes are better. Cant go wrong with either both are great and i will say the ultra connected to all my gadgets in the house flawlessly.

Why is there no cutout on right size on s24 plus. My s24 has has cutout on right side of the phone.

Anyone else having the screen issues with their s24? Colors looking washed out etc. Supposedly its a bug that will hopefully get fixed. The brightness on mine also changes for no apparent reason at random times.

Hey Matthew how do you have Apple TV in a Samsung phone I was trying to install it but couldn't find it on the play store plz tell me how you did it.

I personally own the 15 pro max but damn the S24 plus looks attractive to me too, i just dont like the design of the ultra and i never use a stylus as well.

Ecosystem lockdown is a cruel thing, I’m very impressed by the S24 line (particularly the Ultra) but by switching I’d lose access to all my iTunes Media (movies mainly).

Is Bixby still there?

Until now I still hate the big piece of bar on the camera. That's annoying. User experience displays is so much different on Samsung with much clear screen.

one true honest review

11:13 excuse me sir, which one did you say was brighter?

During the day, the iPhone is good and at night Samsung. during the day Samsung has problems with color rendering (as if everything is cartoon) and the iPhone has poor light transmission at night and the colors are more purple

As someone has a s8 and ipad.. The camera on the s24 is not for me.. I might switch out the s24 to iPhone 15. I initially wanted the iPhone 15 but the T-Mobile store was more focused on getting credit than to just order the phone storage I wanted. Plus the s24+, is just too big

When will people understand that there is no point in comparing phones that much different in screen size? No one cares about the difference in these phones as long as the screen size is so large. The iphone 15 Pro is S24 opponent and the S24 plus is Pro Max opponent.

what color is thpse phone? space grey?

Samsung gave the rest of the world a big middle finger with the S24 plus. Instead of giving us the Snapdragon we got lumped with the Exynos chipset which is inferior in everyway. Additionally for people who don’t use an Spen the S24 plus should be the alternative. Give us all the cameras, the bigger batteries and all the bells and whistles in the same one hand friendly S24 plus with out the Spen.

Wow, what a review.

you can turn the power button into an action button on the samsung. i double click my power button and my flashlight comes on

I got the S24+ and I had the chance to use the IPhone 15pro and honestly both are great phones at the end of that day it depends on the person preference of the person😊

Great kind of thinking! You got subs

2:28 Note 9 had it, Bixby button, and you could reconfigure it.

Why not S24 vs. iPhone 15 pro instead of S24+

Very cool vídeo! iPhone hands down ❤

Does this Samsung IA translation mode enables the phone to do it in off line mode?

Doesn't the S24+ have the Exynos CPU and not the latest SnapDragon as you mention though?

In reality s24 and s24 plus combined wont even come close to 15 pro sales 😢

Where can I find that wallpaper on the S24+?

Bro the s24 mic sounds so good

Thank you! Amazing review! Now i know that for me, personalu the s 24 plus is better than the i phone😅

I have both the iPhone 15 pro max and the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra and I have never loved a phone more than I did with my ultra. I downloaded a texting app for macbook and I'm not even looking for my iPhone any longer. I don't even miss it!

exynos ver? SD ver?

One thing I hope the likes of Google and Samsung take from Apple, the distribution of weight. Equilibrium.

I'm really debating which one to buy, because the iPhone is really nicer in appearance and in the camera, but Samsung gives a better experience and I'm used to it.. What do you recommend I buy? from your experience and experience.🙏

I bought s24+ and I love it

Just love the design of S24 plus

Im weird. I prefer Samsung. Ive used both side by side for nearly a decade. Ad ive always thought iPhone photos were better with samsung videos being better.

Love u from Bangladesh Great review

I'm really missing the 512gb option on normal Samsung s24 :( . I'm trying to get rid of my Iphone 13Pro and replace it with something *At Least* similar on the android side - but I'm constantly fail. Especially in a 6.2 inch range. Google Pixel 8 is great, but lacks durability and doesn't have telephoto camera. 8 Pro is just too massive. Samsung s24 is a great phone, with 3 cameras , but it just have 256gb option, which isn't enough for me in 2024 ((( So I'm just stuck with Iphone 13 Pro. The only option I have is to replace it with newer iPhone, which I don't want, but I guess have to do ..

Apple loses the battle because they lock you into their eco system. They control your use and music to their apps. I have the Samsung S24 plus and I love it. The speed and user friendliness. Samsung has apple by the short hair with the 24 series

Why selfie camera is flipped?
