At Samsungâs Unpacked event last month, the company announced the latest smartphones in its Galaxy S-series: the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra. As The Vergeâs reviewer, Allison Johnson, said in her review, âSamsung didnât need to reinvent the wheel.â The company has had solid scores for the last few years, and it looks like its newest iterations revolve around software â most notably, Galaxy AI and photo processing.Â
The S25 Ultra additions include a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, LOG video, and AI audio processing. If that sounds familiar, it may be because Apple also equipped its iPhone 16 Pro, which was released in September 2024, with similar features. But which one is better?Â
The Vergeâs supervising producer, Vjeran Pavic, breaks it down by category and takes a deeper look at photos and videos taken on both devices for noise, color, sound, and most of all, ease of use. Watch Vjeranâs full review in our latest video, and let us know what you think.Â
