Can't decide which phone to keep: S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro Max
I recently bought a refurbished Galaxy S24 Ultra (512GB storage and 12GB RAM) and also have an iPhone 15 Pro Max (base variant). I'm really struggling to decide which one to keep.
The iPhone feels incredibly smooth. Animations are fluid, apps open instantly, and everything just feels polished. But one downside is that iPhones can’t really run ad-free YouTube or other modded apps, so you often end up having to pay for subscriptions.
The S24 Ultra, on the other hand, feels a bit disappointing. The battery seems to drain faster than I expected, and One UI sometimes feels slow or laggy. There are occasional stutters while scrolling or opening apps, which I didn't expect from a flagship.
Has anyone else experienced this with the S24 Ultra? Is it because it's refurbished, or is this just how One UI feels compared to iOS?
If you had to keep only one, which would you choose and why?
I'd appreciate hearing from people who have used both phones for a while.
