One thing I wanted to know that, what was the resolution and refresh rate of s24 ultra.

[@p.s29]

[@clivematthews95]

[@MelmarJonesVelasco]

This gotta be one of, if not the only one "most accurate" battery test ever. This is how battery is drained and how phones are being used. Unlike other KZbinrs where they just throw things at it until both phones run out of juice. Good video!! 👌You just got yourself a new subscriber. 🥳

[@StoicPhilosophyyyy]

Yeah it doesn't cover standby. For example Exynos S24 is better when you throw things at it but standby is a lot worse than S 23 despite having larger battery

it depends on many factors. screen brightness (when on auto it can differ), resolution, or amount of sync from email or social media... but nevertheless, very good review.

This was not an accurate test 😂😂

[@benjisjs1535]

Adaptive brightness has a higher peak brightness in outdoor scenarios fyi. Idk why Samsung even includes the "extra brightness" toggle tbh

[@Christopher2024ND]

Yeah, they should just include it in the slider. Maybe the idea is to inform users that if you turn this ON, and you crank your screen to the max, you will be really sucking battery life. But that should be obvious. I agree, just put the extra range inside the manual slider and forget the toggle.

[@jpracing893]

This is the best and most accurate battery test videos, none of these laying flat on a table. Real world, with areas where connection will drop low especially on the trains and using it around towns and cities with higher density of connections to really test the WiFi chips and how it drains batteries. But both did very well I mean 9 and a half hours is more than enough especially as it was heavy use with GPS, Ubers, train rides camera and gaming. Also cool seeing Manchester as I’m from there, saw that dreaded platform 13/14 and knew the train would be late.

Haha! Glad to hear that you've enjoyed it! Also nice seeing another Mancunian in the comments!

[@LuisTorres-sm3sz]

You didn't turn on adaptive brightness for the s24 ultra which is why the iphone was brighter - adaptive brightness makes the s24 ultra go to 2600 nits outdoors.

[@arinansel8529]

I was about to comment this now. the s24ultra has a way brighter screen, but you only get that when the adoptive brightness is turned on.

[@Lupin788]

I was wondering about that too. However, if 2600 nits brightness was enabled, that would probably drain the S24U's battery faster. The washed out colour in the S24U is a known issue that Samsung has promised to issue a patch to fix by the end of the month.

That microphone on the S24U. Wow. When it switched over, it was very noticable, sounded like you were using a lapel and very similar to your mic you use with your main camera. Much clearer and less artefacts. Impressive.

[@jonathancarranza7720]

Everyone complains that the Samsung doesn´t have a more natural skin tone or more balanced colors, but the truth is that many edit the photos with Iphone to upload to social media while with Samsung you can upload them directly. Everyone wants natural photos but uploads artificial

[@little.raindrop]

[@ifediorachukwudi1262]

No they don't iPhones are just more optimized

[@JoeBlunt]

S24 ultra can be optimized to get even better battery life by disabling services you dont use

[@direfranchement]

It gives you scantly more battery life for a lot more annoying performance. Not worth it unless you’re stranded somewhere without a charger.

so as the iphone but it wasnt the point for this video

[@ccjh0806]

LOL THATS NOT THE POINT LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[@hunterridley73]

I think Samsung gets brighter if you use auto brightness than a manual brightness slider and I think the battery is a lot lower because you videoed and took so many pictures if you didn't do that you probably would have had way more battery life

[@BLAKEEATS1988]

he said the viewing experience was better and more detailed in iPhone I laughed because first of all samsung has a qhd display meaning more ppi than iphone. Secondly it has a bigger and brighter screen, smaller camera cut out and finally it has an anti reflective display lol how is the iPhone better with a lower ppi, lower brightness, no anti reflection, smaller display and large camera cut out lol. I watch the reviews not to listen because they create their own narrative I watch them then decide for myself. s24 ultra all the way.

[@perlidgren]

Yes and its a massive difference, you dont get even close to full brightness without auto brightness..

[@yakuz74]

In order to get max brightness on s24 ultra, he needs to turn on adaptive brightness

[@IamSaud_YT]

You're right, my friend.

[@HMC-p6p]

Everyone miss the point, the point if battery drain comparison which can only be accomplished by not using the adapted brightness. As it would adjust down the brightness in low light situations preventing the battery from draining more so, than the iPhone set for full brightness and the Sammy set for full brightness is the only way to accomplish this.

[@kevinjay808]

I switched my s24 ultra to light performance mode and the battery life i have been able to get is insane. No downfall in performance either, i haven't felt any hiccups or the phone being slow.

[@alonzoweaver7948]

Oh it’s a downfall for sure, even if you want to convince yourself it isn’t 😅

[@kevinjay808]

@alonzoweaver7948 well i haven't felt the slightest lag lol. The new chipset is morethan capable for everyday tasks like browsing and handling social media apps. If i wanted to game then i would switch. But seems like you are stuck in a older phone convincing yourself you don't need to upgrade cause you can't afford it 🥲

[@moktafizaman9077]

Did that aswell, it definitely has some level of performance drop, but the battery life definitely increased quite a bit, I always charge my phone to 91% and charge before it drops to below 20% and even while doing that, I can get ~12 hours of battery backup!

[@MrBraulio00]

You need to put display auto brightness to have 2600 nits outdoor. Without this ON you dont have the max brightness

[@ZONEofTECH]

It was actually on on both, at the very beginning. But they both started adjusting to different levels, then I ended up adjusting them manually to the same level (they may look different from certain angles, when filmed - but they were set to the same).

[@MrBraulio00]

​@@ZONEofTECH thanks for the fastest reply, on the video i see auto brightness off, in my s24 ultra i only can see better on outsite with that ON, when turn off and max (normal) brightness that dont have the max level 2600nits that does a lot of difference.

[@benjisjs1535]

I've seen the S24 go wayyy brighter than the 15pm on auto brightness so I think you're right. But I'm just confused why Samsung would even include that "extra brightness" toggle when it's not really maxing out the display's capabilities

[@MrBraulio00]

@@benjisjs1535 i think the same..already test side by side with 15 pro max and a flash light inside my home and they only max it with the auto ON. But in netflix without the auto ON the netflix max i think the 2600 nits and when you watch the video they dont let you change the brightness and in my case only the subtitles

The chip where it learns your use really is spot on. I have noticed, the time i got my S24 ultra surprises me on how the battery dies longer already compared to the first day i use it. though is it good for it to preserve its charging upto 80% only? The heating issues on IP15pm is evident here. Their software really sucks.

[@Rammer_Jammer]

You need to do 5 100% to 0% cycles & then your s24 ultra battery life will be insane

[@largon2008]

Both phones are great and sometimes you'll get washed out pics on both. Just make sure you take more than one picture all the time then choose the best one. S24 ultra owner here and i am so happy with this device. Camera is insanely good and i love how smooth it is to scroll.

[@Angel-HC]

Battery tests like these that actually include extensive 5G network use are MUCH more indicative of real world experience than all those WiFi only tests that many channels put out.

[@SpeedtestBari]

As an iPhone 12 user the thing that killed the most iPhone 15 pro max battery probably was the long video recording. With a 2 years old iPhone 12 86% battery health if I take a 1 minute video battery goes down of like 3% and it overheats when I use max brightness under the sun
