The Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro Max are two of the biggest and most premium non-foldable smartphones on the market. Both are powerful and pack top-of-the-line features, including AI-backed functions, but how do these two bank-breakers stack up against each other? Does one do some things better than the other? Let's find out.

Samsung says its offering $1,100 off of the Galaxy S24 Ultra when users trade in the last generation of Samsung's phones.

A more realistic device to swap, the Samsung Galaxy S21, is only priced at £240 ($304.05). In the U.S., Samsung will pay $650 for the same handset, almost double what U.K. shoppers are being offered.

Samsung typically sells standard and Plus Galaxy S models in the same colors, so we predict that any color the Samsung Galaxy S25 is available in, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus will be sold in too. Below, you’ll find the shades that have been leaked so far.

Display: The iPhone 16 Pro Max features a 6.9-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 6.8-inch LTPO Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, also with a 120Hz refresh rate, but offers HDR10+ and a peak brightness of 2,600 nits.

Elsewhere, Best Buy has discounted the Galaxy S24 Plus by $200, bringing the price down to $799.99. The Galaxy S24 FE is also $175 cheaper, bringing the current price down to $534.99. The base Galaxy S24 is still fully priced, as is the last year’s Galaxy S23 series.

Samsung is rolling out the most compelling promotions of the year for Black Friday and the Galaxy S24 Ultra is at the center of it all. On the official store, if you purchase the 512GB version of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, you will only pay the price of the 256GB model ( “double the storage on us”) and this alone saves you $120.
