Recently, YouTuber PhoneBuff conducted a test comparing the speed and multitasking capabilities between the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Accordingly, in the video posted by this YouTuber: a robotic arm was programmed to open a series of applications and games and then reopen those applications in reverse order. The recorded results: Galaxy S25 Ultra completed 2 laps in 3 minutes and 7 seconds, while iPhone 16 Pro Max took 3 minutes and 21 seconds, while OnePlus 13 recorded a result of 3 minutes and 13 seconds. Although the device has 16GB of RAM while S25 Ultra only has 12GB of RAM.

Thus, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has surpassed its competitors to become the fastest smartphone in the world today.

It is known that Apple's internal chips have always had extremely fast CPU performance and have beaten competitors from MediaTek, Qualcomm and Samsung. However, in the past few years, Qualcomm has made many efforts but has not been able to surpass Apple in CPU performance, but in GPU performance, Apple has been surpassed.

In late 2024, Qualcomm released its first smartphone chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which uses the Nuvia CPU architecture. This marked a generational leap in CPU performance, especially in single-core tasks. It helped Android phones like the OnePlus 13 and Galaxy S25 Ultra beat Apple's top-end iPhone in performance.
