The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (UAE version, 256GB / 12GB) impresses as a strong flagship that blends one of the most capable camera systems on the market with refined hardware and useful AI extras. Its 200-megapixel main sensor delivers extremely detailed daytime shots and improved low-light performance, while the upgraded telephoto optics and up to 100× digital “Space Zoom” make it a versatile shooter for everything from landscapes to distant subjects. eviewers also praise the phone’s endurance: the 5,000 mAh battery plus software efficiency routinely produces long single-charge runtimes for a full day and often into a second day under light use, and the device supports fast charging to top up quickly.The built-in S Pen remains a standout for productivity—faster, smoother inking and expanded note/AI workflows make it genuinely useful rather than gimmicky. Performance is consistently snappy thanks to the custom/flagship chipset and 12GB of RAM, so gaming, multitasking and AI features (Galaxy AI, Circle to search, Chat Assist, feel fluid, although a few reviewers note that some of the newer AI tricks can be uneven in real-world reliability. Finally, the titanium frame and premium finish (Titanium Gray among the offered colours) give the S25 Ultra a more durable, upscale feel that matches its price and positioning as Samsung’s top-tier Android “superphone.”

The Apple iPhone 16 Plus (128 GB) sets a new benchmark for battery life and everyday performance while retaining the clean, premium build Apple is known for. The phone features a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with a resolution of 2796×1290 pixels (~460 ppi) and an impressive peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits outdoors. Under the hood you’ll find Apple’s A18 chip built on a 3 nm process, delivering notable gains in efficiency and speed over the previous generation. The dual-camera system comprises a 48 MP main sensor paired with a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12 MP front selfie/TrueDepth camera—resulting in sharp, high-quality images and improved low-light performance. A major highlight of the Plus model is its outstanding battery life: reviewers cite video-playback endurance of up to around 27 hours in certain tests, a serious step up in daily usage for those who consume media, game or multitask. On the connectivity side, it includes USB-C (though at USB 2 speeds), MagSafe and strong ecosystem support. One trade-off worth noting is the refresh rate, which remains at 60 Hz rather than the 120 Hz seen in many premium Android competitors — something attentive users may feel when scrolling or gaming. All told, the iPhone 16 Plus delivers an exceptional package for users prioritising large display, long battery life and smooth Apple ecosystem integration, especially if advanced Pro camera extras and ultra-high refresh rates are not priority.

Pros

Cons

The Motorola Razr 60 Ultra 5G stands out as a modern premium flip-phone that merges strong specs with stylish design. It has the powerhouse Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with a massive 16 GB RAM “Boost” and 512 GB of internal storage, ensuring flagship-level performance and future-proofing. On the display front you get a large 7.0-inch inner pOLED screen plus a 4.0-inch outer cover display — enabling both immersive viewing when unfolded and quick access when folded. The build is anchored by a titanium hinge, delivering durability and a premium feel, while the PANTONE Scarab finish adds a distinctive colour identity. Battery and charging are solid: a large capacity cell combined with 68 W TurboPower charging means it can recover quickly when you run low. On the camera side (per reviews) the dual 50 MP sensors deliver sharp results, aided by modern AI to polish images. Reviewers also highlight the refined tactile experience of the hinge and solid external display functionality.
That said, the device isn’t perfect: some reviewers found it gets warm under heavy 4K video recording, and at its premium size/price it remains niche relative to classic slabs

Build quality and durability aren’t neglected either: the device is rated IP68/ IP69 for water and dust resistance and uses a NanoCrystal Shield drop-resistant glass. Battery and charging are strong too: around 5,850 mAh typical capacity and high-wattage wired/wireless charging support (100 W wired / 80 W wireless) give it real-world stamina.
