Our Verdict

iPhone 16 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra wins on battery life with 5000mAh (13:49h active use) versus iPhone 16 Pro’s 3582mAh (14:17h), offering longer endurance despite lower active use time due to larger capacity and efficiency. Buy the iPhone 16 Pro if you prioritize seamless iOS 18 updates up to iOS 26.4 and MagSafe/Qi2 wireless charging at 15W with reverse wired 4.5W for accessories. Choose the S24 Ultra if you need 45W wired charging (65% in 30 min), a 6.8-inch 505 ppi display, and seven major Android upgrades with One UI 8.0 for long-term software support. In UAE at AED 4799 vs AED 4699, the S24 Ultra is better because it delivers 45W wired charging and 1418mAh more battery for just AED 100 less. In India at ₹129900 vs ₹124999, the S24 Ultra wins on value because it offers 1418mAh larger battery and faster charging for ₹4901 less.
