The Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max use varying internal memory standards, with Samsung’s flagship relying on UFS technology, whereas Apple employs NVMe storage in all of its devices. Irrespective of which variant is used, both deliver fast read and write speeds, but it is the Galaxy S24 Ultra that takes the ‘win’ in this column because, in a new benchmark, its storage is shown to be up to 75 percent faster, not to mention the device touts lower latency.
Galaxy S24 Ultra can reach 2.5GB/s read speeds with its next-generation UFS storage, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max considerably lagging
In the Jazz Disk Bench, sakitech shows that the Galaxy S24 Ultra one-ups the iPhone 15 Pro Max in yet another category by obtaining 2,547MB/s in sequential read speeds, compared to its rival’s 1,450MB/s throughput, making it a 75 percent difference. Unfortunately, the same performance gap cannot be replicated in the write test, with the Galaxy S24 Ultra obtaining 1,442MB/s data transfer speeds, with its competitor in close pursuit at 1,257MB/s, marking a measly 15 percent difference.
Samsung has historically used faster flash memory chips in its premium smartphones, so it is no surprise that the Galaxy S24 Ultra got the better of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. In the 4K random read and write test, we see a similar story, and it makes you wonder why Apple sticks with the slower NVMe standard if it continues to lag behind what Samsung has developed. However, note that it is not just faster sequential or random read and write speeds that determine the performance of a smartphone or desktop, as latency is also considered a worthy metric.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs iPhone 15 Pro Max
The SSD (storage) in the S24 Ultra is significantly faster than the one in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
This is BIG.
Sequential Read speed is 75% faster.
Sequential Write speed is 15% faster.The latency is also lower on the S24 Ultra… pic.twitter.com/lSziIh45T6

In this regard, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is again the victor, obtaining a lower latency than the iPhone 15 Pro Max. For those who do not know, having a lower latency is an advantage because this test shows how quickly specific data can be accessed. In theory, it would mean that the Galaxy S24 Ultra can open up applications much faster, though that is also up to how optimized Samsung’s One UI software is.
It is also important to note that both handsets were tested with 256GB of internal storage, so the results may vary when higher onboard memory versions are used in the same test. If you have been keeping track, we also reported that the Galaxy S24 Ultra edged past the iPhone 15 Pro Max in a battery drain test, so in total, the 6.8-inch flagship has beaten its closest competitor in two benchmarks, but there will be a lot more comparisons to follow, so we recommend waiting for more updates from our side.
