Our Verdict

iPhone 17 vs Galaxy S24 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra wins on battery life with 5000mAh and 13:49h active use versus the iPhone 17’s 3692mAh and 14:59h, but the iPhone delivers longer real-world usage despite smaller capacity due to superior efficiency. Buyers seeking extended screen time and faster wired charging should pick the iPhone 17 512GB — its 25W PD3.2 wired charging hits 50% in 20 minutes, outpacing the S24 Ultra’s 45W which only reaches 65% in 30 minutes. Those needing a larger display, higher pixel density (505 ppi vs 460 ppi), and seven Android upgrades should choose the S24 Ultra 256GB for its 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED panel and longer software support. In UAE at AED 3999 vs AED 4699, the iPhone 17 is better because it offers 512GB storage at 700 AED less with faster charging efficiency; in India at ₹99900 vs ₹124999, the iPhone wins on value because it doubles storage while costing ₹25,099 less.
