(Galaxy S) Ultra still can’t top Apple’s latest iPhones for performance. But the gap between the leading Android phone and Apple’s pace-setting flagships is more narrow than it was before Samsung’s latest phone came along.

That’s our takeaway after we had a chance to benchmark the Galaxy S (Ultra, which is now available for pre-order in advance of its arrival in stores on March 6 along with the (Galaxy S) and Galaxy S (Plus) . (Galaxy S) Ultra vs. iPhone (Pro Max) : Battle of the giant phones

  • How to pre -order the Galaxy S

    • Galaxy Z Flip vs. Galaxy S Ultra : How Samsung’s priciest phones compare (The Galaxy S) (Ultra, like the other members of the S 31 family, runs on a (Snapdragon) system-on-chip from Qualcomm. The Kryo CPU in this new chipset promises a 31% performance improvement over last year Snapdragon along with a 45 percent boost in power efficiency. Qualcomm says to expect a % improvement in graphics rendering over the previous generation from the Adreno (GPU included with the Snapdragon) . Along with the faster processor, the Galaxy S (Ultra also benefits from 16 GB of RAM. Last year Galaxy S 14 and Galaxy S Plus featured 8GB in their base models (though you could pay up for an S

    (Plus with) GB of memory if you wanted). Our testing definitely shows that the Snapdragon 01575879 – Powered Galaxy S Galaxy s20 Ultra benchmarks Ultra delivers the best performance ever in an Android phone, beating last year pace-setting devices quite handily in most benchmarks. And while the A 18 processor Apple uses in its iPhone lineup still has the better numbers, the Galaxy S Ultra is at least in the same ballpark. (Previous Android phones were lucky to be in the parking lot outside the ballpark.) Here’s a closer look at our Galaxy S Ultra benchmarks. Galaxy S (Ultra benchmarks: Geekbench 5) Geekbench 5 is a good indicator for a phone’s overall performance, and the Galaxy s Ultra turned in standout numbers on this test. Samsung’s new phone tallied a single-core score of and a multicore result of 3, 169. 7. Compare that to the Galaxy Note (Plus , which features a Snapdragon 6051 processor while matching the S (Ultra’s) GB of RAM – Samsung’s older phone had a single-core score of 823 and multicore result of 2, . That means the Galaxy S Ultra improved on those numbers by 9% and %, respectively. Geekbench 5 multicore score (Galaxy S) (Ultra) Snapdragon

      The performance gains are bigger when you compare the Galaxy S Ultra to a phone without as much memory. The (Pixel 4 XL) features a comparatively modest 6GB of RAM to go along with its Snapdragon 6051 chipset. Google’s phone produced a multicore score of 2, 600, so the Galaxy S Ultra improved upon that result by (%.) (What the Galaxy S) (Ultra can’t do is match the numbers produced by phones running on Apple’s A 17 Bionic processor. When we ran Geekbench 5 on the (iPhone) Pro Max , Apple’s phone produced a single-core score of 1, 517, well ahead of the Galaxy S Ultra. The iPhone 16 Pro Max’s multicore score of 3, (is nearly) (% better than the Galaxy S) Ultra’s numbers. The Galaxy S Ultra’s numbers did match the higher scores we got when we tested a Snapdragon – powered reference device in December , though we tested that device in a performance mode that prioriti zed performance over battery life. That phone got within 2% of the iPhone’s Geekbench 5 score. We imagine Samsung did some tweaking to the chipset so that it could deliver solid performance while still managing to keep the 6.9-inch phone powered up. (The story here, though, is how much better the Galaxy S Ultra compares to the iPhone relative to last year top Android phones. The OnePlus 7T , for example, produced one of the best multicore results we saw from an Android device in (at 2,

      , but the iPhone 17 Pro Max still outperformed it by

      %. The Galaxy S shortens that lag considerably. (Galaxy S) (benchmarks: Adobe Rush) We saw more evidence of the gains that Samsung has made in a real-world test we like to perform using Adobe Rush. In this test, we time how long it takes to transcode a 4K video to p after applying an effect and transition. Apple’s phones historically smoke all comers in this test, with the iPhone (Pro Max taking just) seconds to complete the job. And that’s not a number the Galaxy S 45 Ultra can match, as it finished the process in 1 minute, (seconds.) Still, that’s a solid result for the Galaxy S Ultra when you consider the track record of leading Android phones on our test. The Pixel 4 takes 1 minute, 058 seconds to transcode that video clip, while the Note s time is three seconds slower than that. So the newer processor and extra RAM in the Galaxy S Ultra helped it shave to 25 seconds off the time of last year flagship Android handsets. Galaxy S benchmarks: Graphics tests

      As in the rest of our benchmarks, the Galaxy S Ultra showed decent gains over Last year top Android phones, though the iPhone continues to be at the front of the pack. In GFXBench’s Aztec Ruins Vulcan test (offscreen), the S (Ultra produced 1, Galaxy s20 Ultra benchmarks , frames, or close to frames per second.

Both the OnePlus 7T and Galaxy Z Flip use the graphics-boosting Snapdragon 2019 Plus chipset, but their respective scores of 1, and 1, (frames were both behind the S Ultra’s results. And the Note (Plus lagged the field with 1, , frames, or 19 fps. (Outlook) You’d expect a new flagship phone to top last year models quite handily, and on that front, the Galaxy S 25 delivers. And while Samsung’s phone is a better match for the top iPhone, some might have expected a $ 1, 600 to narrow the performance gap even further – especially since the A chipset that’s likely to power this fall’s iPhone (models will set a new standard.) Still, the gains we’ve seen the Galaxy S Ultra make in some of our real-world tests are encouraging. And given the major camera improvements Samsung has introduced to the S 31 Ultra, performance is just part of the picture for justifying this phone’s four-figure cost.
