In the last year, Ive compared dozens of thebest phonesagainst each other in my200 photo shootout series.
After I captured them, I stitched the videos together side-by-side to show their differences.
That way, I can better inspect how they compare.
Once Ive captured all the videos, I stitched the videos to show them side-by-side.
Most people are unlikely to use these modes, but they do offer their own advantages.
Oppositely, I do like the ability to slow down the footage with the iPhones 4K 120fps native recording.
Just know that both use up a lot of storage.
Yet, I can spot a big difference in how they perform.
The colors through the iPhone also look more accurate compared to the Samsung.
Those shadowed areas of the tree and branches are better exposed with the iPhone.
I see it in the first set of videos I shot of my colleague Ryan.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra just sounds a bit thinner.
Overall, though, the stabilization while walking is smooth but definitely notDJI Pocket 3good.
Thats why for this one, I had to shoot them separately.
Its the same result in the second clip with the green plant that shows more textures.
For this category, however, Im judging them on their dedicated slow motion modes.
For the absolute slowest footage, youll want to shoot at 240fps.
As a result, theres more definition with the water fountain footage at Bryant Park above.
At 120fps, both phones capture slow motion in 1080p and the iPhone looks more crisp.
I personally value 240fps slow motion more, so Im leaning Galaxy with this one.
This is where I begin to notice the differences, like how the Galaxy S25 Ultra has better definition.
With the clip of my colleague Ryan, I can see slightly more detail with his facial features.
But again, the Galaxy S25 Ultra comes up with a smidge more definition.
In several categories, its a narrow win for one phone with the exception of the color round.
