Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25 series with new AI features, and some more new AI features. While the company was kind enough to reshape the corners and replace the VC cooling and ultrawide camera with slightly better ones, it clearly wasn’t enough to satisfy people who took their time to watch the hour-long AI-focused Unpacked event.
But Samsung did mention some image processing improvements. So how does the Galaxy S25 Ultra stacks up with its competitors? Fortunately, some YouTube creators have already tested the camera capabilities of the S25 Ultra side-by-side with its predecessor and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
How does it compare with the iPhone 16 Pro Max?
Youtube creator SuperSaf and MrWhosetheBoss both tested Samsung’s 2025 top-of-the-line flagship with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The low light sample from the S25 Ultra appears to have a very warm tone.
The high-resolution ultrawide on the S25 Ultra does seem to offer some benefit though: ultrawide shots from a Samsung flagship finally appear to math the level of detail captured by the one on the latest iPhone. The right side of the house looks dark on the S25 Ultra. Although, the sample from the iPhone isn’t flawless either – it seems a bit too flat.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max captures images at 24-megapixels by default where it’s still set to 12-megapixel in the S25 Ultra.
Just as last year, the default 1x shots from the iPhone has more detail than the Galaxy. But, the S25 Ultra packs a 200MP sensor and you have the option to ramp up the resolution and shoot at either 50MP or 200MP mode, both of which let you save more detail than the iPhone can.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s samples are not much different as compared to its predecessor. Most of the daylight shots have a slightly warmer tone and the low-light shots have less lens flare. However, the AI-enhanced zoom shots now offer significantly better details.
