The performance race in the smartphone market is getting hot every day. New generation devices compete not only with their features, but also with speed and processing power. Finally, there was a remarkable development in the world of technology. In the speed test by the popular YouTube channel, Phonebuff, Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra managed to cross Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro Max. This result shows that Samsung’s performance -oriented optimizations are fruit.
The video shows that the test is performed with a robotic system on both devices. A number of applications and games determined were first opened in a certain order and then re -operated in reverse order. Galaxy S25 Ultra completed this process in 3 minutes and 7 seconds, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max was able to complete the same test in 3 minutes and 21 seconds. Although the difference is expressed in seconds, in such tests, speed difference is a great criterion in terms of device performance. With this result, Samsung discussed the leadership in speed tests.
Samsung started to rise in performance
The test was reported to be performed with another powerful opponent, onePlus 13, under the same conditions. OnePlus 13 has completed the applications and games in 3 minutes and 12 seconds and performed very close to Samsung, but could not achieve leadership. While OnePlus 13 has 16 GB of RAM, it is quite remarkable that Samsung achieves a better result with only 12 GB of RAM. This shows that not only high hardware, but also software optimization is a decisive factor in speed tests.
It is a fact that Apple has been in front of its competitors in smartphone performance for years. The chips he developed were the leader of the market for a long time, especially in single -core performance. Apple’s chips often offered higher processing power than the solutions offered by competitors such as Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung. However, in recent years, the Android ecosystem has made great progress in chip performance. It is now more balanced not only in graphic performance, but also in terms of processing power.
Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor launched last year, has provided a groundbreaking performance increase in this area. This processor is based on Qualcomm’s Nuvia CPU architecture and made a significant leap, especially in single -core tasks. This development made Android phone manufacturers more competitive against Apple. As a matter of fact, devices like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and OnePlus 13 can now pass Apple’s flagship models in speed tests.
The effect of software improvements in Samsung’s success cannot be ignored. The company’s improvements in the fields such as One UI interface and memory management provide a more fluent experience in daily use. The effective use of memory and the fast management of background operations provided significant advantages in performance tests. In addition, the optimization technologies developed by Samsung for years have made the success in this test possible.
This speed test by Phonebuff is also an important source of information for consumers. Because the speed and performance of smartphones for many users can be the reason for preference. Especially in the scenarios where numerous applications and games are used at the same time, it is of great importance how the device offers. Samsung’s result in this test strengthened the brand’s position in performance.
