iPhone 15 or Samsung S24 – which one should I choose?
Thinking about buying an iPhone 15 or Samsung S24? We've compared the phones to help you find the one that suits you best - both in terms of performance, features and price.
Compare design and screen
The iPhone 15 has a 6,1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display that delivers a sharp and colorful image with a resolution of 2556 x 1179 pixels. Its aluminum frame and glass back give it an elegant and solid feel, and the weight of 170 grams makes it comfortable to hold. The Samsung Galaxy S24 offers a slightly larger 6,2-inch display with Dynamic AMOLED technology and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which provides a smoother experience when scrolling and gaming. With a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels (FHD+) and a weight of 167 grams, it is both lighter and more agile to handle.
Processor and performance
Whether you choose a Samsung s24 or iPhone 15 you get a lot of power for your money. The Samsung Galaxy S24 has an Android operating system and has a decacore processor with a top speed of 3,2 GHz, which provides seamless multitasking and high performance for both apps and games. The iPhone 15, on the other hand, uses iOS 18 and is equipped with the A16 Bionic chip, which includes a 6-core processor and makes the phone balance power and battery efficiency in an impressive way. The choice between the iPhone 15 or Samsung S24 is of course a lot about which platform you are most comfortable with – iOS or Android.
Camera features
The iPhone 15 has a dual camera with a 48 MP main sensor that delivers sharp and detailed images, while Samsung Galaxy S24 offers a triple camera with a 50 MP main sensor. With up to 3x optical zoom and the ability to film in impressive UHD 8K at 30 fps, the S24 is a bit sharper, as the iPhone 15 only has 2x optical zoom and the ability to record video in 4K up to 60 fps. For those who love to take photos and film, both models offer impressive cameras, but they have different strengths.
Storage and RAM
Storage space means space for more apps, photos, etc., and here the iPhone 15 offers three options: 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB – all with 6 GB of RAM. The Samsung S24, on the other hand, only offers two choices - 128 GB or 256 GB - but has a larger RAM of 8 GB.
Battery and charging
The iPhone 15 has a built-in lithium-ion battery that can play video for 20 hours. It supports fast charging and works with MagSafe accessories, with a USB-C port of USB 2 standard. The Samsung Galaxy S24 also supports USB-C and fast charging, but offers a longer battery life with the ability to play video for 29 hours, thanks to its powerful 4000 mAh battery.
