The Galaxy S25 Ultra has held the top spot all this year ever since it was introduced back in January, earning that prestigious title of best phone over the iPhone 16 Pro Max. That’s why an iPhone 17 Pro Max vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra face-off is necessary to see if Apple can turn things around come this fall.
Despite new competition arriving on the scene, Samsung’s flagship phone continues to prove it’s just as formidable as ever — thanks in part to its excellent cameras, powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, and battery longevity. No other phone has yet to match or eclipse its utility, which goes to show how high the bar’s been raised because of it.
