Let’s answer the big questions!

When I compared the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to the iPhone 16 Pro Max on YouTube, some people enjoyed it, others didn’t, and there were the usual impossibly boring skirmishes between Android and iOS supporters in the comments section.

However, what caught my eye was the number of requests for a comparison of a different kind. Many people wanted to see me compare Samsung’s latest flagship with the OnePlus 13.

I can see why. The OnePlus 13 is considerably cheaper than the S25 Ultra yet is powered by the same chip and, in some cases, actually beats the Samsung in Smartphone Spec Top Trumps.

However, I’m not going to focus on specs today. Smartphone specs are impressive but immeasurably boring these days, and I’d much rather view both of these devices at face value and suss out which one is right for you. Because, that’s why you came here, right?
