If you're looking for superior battery life and slightly better photo and video quality, and don't mind paying a premium price, the Apple iPhone 15 Plus could be the right choice. However, if you prefer a phone that is less expensive, has a slightly larger and curved screen, and offers a higher screen refresh rate for smoother visuals, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra might be the way to go. Keep in mind the iPhone 15 Plus runs on iOS, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra uses Android, which could also affect your decision based on preferred operating systems. Give Feedback
