iPhone 15 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S24: size differences
Let's start by comparing the exterior and visual appearance of each of the smartphones:
The iPhone 15 Pro measures 146.6 x 70.6 x 8.3 mm and weighs 187 grams.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra measures 162.3 x 79 x 8.6 mm and weighs 232 grams.
We see a larger size for the Samsung, as well as a heavier weight.
This difference is justified by a larger screen size for this one, with 6.8” compared to 6.1” for the iPhone 15 Pro.
If you prefer good visibility, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will be your preference.
Moreover, the latter is sold with an S Pen stylus that can be stored in the smartphone via a dedicated notch.
Now let's take a closer look at the screens:
The iPhone 15 Pro
features a Super Retina XDR OLED display boasting a QHD resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels with a maximum refresh rate of 120 frames per second.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
is equipped with a 6.8” AMOLED screen with a WQHD+ definition of 1,440 x 3,120 pixels, also at 120 frames/second.
The Samsung therefore has a larger screen with a better display, although the iPhone's Retina technology gives it slightly better quality.

Power and autonomy on the test bench
In terms of power, here's what's in each smartphone:
The iPhone 15 Pro is equipped with an in-house chip, the Apple A17 Bionic, clocked at 3.7 GHz with 6 cores and 8 GB of RAM.
In terms of memory, the model offered here has 256 GB. The battery has a capacity of 3,650 mAh, for autonomy of a day and a half.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor clocked at 3.3 GHz, with 12 GB of RAM.
For memory, it offers a generous 1 TB of space. The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh for autonomy approaching two days, and above all 45 W fast charging.
There you have to choose between power and storage space: the iPhone 15 Pro is slightly more powerful, but has less RAM and less space for memory.
In terms of autonomy, the two smartphones are equal even if, here again, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra takes a step ahead with its fast charging and its greater capacity.

Photo sensors, the clash of the titans
Where both phones impress is in photos and videos.
Apple and Samsung have pulled out all the stops to offer users an experience worthy of the best cameras.
On the iPhone 15 Pro you find, on the back, three sensors of 48, 12 and 12 Mpx to make 4K videos at 60 frames/second maximum.
The front sensor for selfies and video is 12 Mpx.
On the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, you are entitled, on the back, to four sensors of 200, 50, 10 and 12 Mpx for videos in 8K at 30 frames/second, or in 4K at 120 frames/second maximum.
The front sensor is 12 Mpx.
Once again, the Samsung takes the advantage over the iPhone in terms of photos.
Even if Apple's smartphone does excellently well, the Galaxy S24 Ultra offers a superior experience.
