A new line of smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, has been unveiled with a range of impressive features. The series includes the base model S24, larger S24 Plus, and top-of-the-line S24 Ultra. All models are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and have new AI features. Samsung has also copied Apple by giving the S24 and S24 Plus a flat frame instead of the rounded one used previously, as well as a matte look. The S24 Ultra is equipped with an AMOLED display that has an improved PWM rate of 492Hz, surpassing the iPhone's 480Hz PWM frequency. This improvement makes Samsung's new phones easier on the eyes for users who are sensitive to flickering displays.
The S24 lineup also includes a tetraprism telephoto camera with up to 5x optical zoom capabilities, similar to that of the OnePlus Open which reached a whopping 4,500 nits peak brightness. Apple has some catching up to do in terms of display brightness as well.
In addition to these features, Samsung's new phones have AI-powered photo-editing capabilities and are equipped with 120Hz refresh rate displays across all models including the base S24 model. The Galaxy S24 Ultra also has a titanium frame, following in the footsteps of Apple's use of this material in their latest devices.
It should be noted that while Samsung has made improvements to its PWM rate and added new features, it is still important to consider other factors such as overall performance, camera quality, and battery life when comparing smartphones. Additionally, it is always a good idea to read multiple sources and conduct your own research before making a purchasing decision.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that they asked 10 iPhone users which they prefer but only provides information on five participants who voted. This means that the results are not representative of all iPhone owners and therefore cannot be considered conclusive evidence for or against either device. Secondly, the article uses sensationalist language such as
The Galaxy S24 Ultra's capture is more natural, accurately replicating the wintry scene's dreary, bleak ambiance.
Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the iPhone-owning participants in the blind test preferred the iPhone 15 Pro Max, making it the champion of this blind test. This statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and therefore cannot be considered a valid claim.
The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that 'the iPhone-owning participants in this test preferred the iPhone 15 Pro Max, making it the champion of this blind test.' This statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and therefore cannot be considered a valid claim.
The author uses an informal fallacy called 'cherry picking' when selecting examples to support their argument. For instance, they only show photos where the iPhone 15 Pro Max won participants' hearts, while they do not provide any examples of situations where the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra performed better than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The author uses an informal fallacy called 'false dilemma' when presenting a choice between two options as if it is the only possible option. For example, they state that participants preferred either Android or zoomed-in photos, implying that these are mutually exclusive choices.
Bias
(85%)
The author has a clear bias towards the iPhone. The article is structured in such a way that it presents the iPhone as superior to Android devices for zoomed-in photos and wide shots. This bias is evident when comparing the results of previous blind tests where participants preferred Android for zoomed-in photos but chose Apple for wide and ultra-wide shots.
The author mentions a previous blind test with iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Google Pixel 8 Pro, stating that iPhone users preferred Android devices for zoomed-in photos. However, they preferred the iPhone for wide and ultra-wide shots.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series sports a new AMOLED display with an improved PWM rate of 492Hz.
Samsung finally increased its AMOLED display panel's PWM refresh rate now exceeding the iPhone's 492Hz PWM frequency. The measurements taken of the Galaxy S24 Ultra's display show a much higher PWM rate of 492Hz and a more eye-friendly sine wave dimming pattern at high brightness levels.
Many manufacturers like Honor and OnePlus have improved the PWM rate of their displays to significantly higher numbers, up to 3,840Hz on many Honor phones and up to 2,200Hz on the OnePlus 12. Some companies offer dimming solutions similar to LCDs while still offering the visual quality of an OLED display.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is far easier on my eyes than the Galaxy S23 Ultra, a phone that hurts my eyes within a few seconds of using it.

(50%)
The article is deceptive in that it implies that the new PWM rate of 492Hz on Samsung's AMOLED display panels is a significant improvement over Apple's previous PWM rate of 240Hz. However, this statement is misleading as Apple has already improved its PWM rate to 480Hz with the iPhone 13 series. The article also fails to disclose that Samsung's new AMOLED display panels still run at a lower refresh rate than some other manufacturers like Honor and OnePlus who have significantly higher PWM rates up to 3,840Hz on many Honor phones and up to 2,200Hz on the OnePlus 12. Additionally, the article fails to mention that Samsung's new settings may not be helpful for all users as it is still unclear if more users will find them helpful for daily use.
The statement 'With future software updates, Samsung could improve things by adding DC-like dimming at high brightness levels and ramping up PWM rates further at low brightness levels.' is misleading as research shows that PWM rates under 1,000Hz have been shown to cause issues at low brightness levels.
The statement 'Samsung finally beat Apple's 480Hz PWM rate across all three phones: the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.' is deceptive as it fails to mention that Samsung's new AMOLED display panels still run at a lower refresh rate than some other manufacturers like Honor and OnePlus who have significantly higher PWM rates.
The statement 'Samsung finally increased its AMOLED display panel's PWM (pulse width modulation) refresh rate, now exceeding the iPhone's 492Hz PWM frequency.' is deceptive as Apple has already improved its PWM rate to 480Hz with the iPhone 13 series.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 finally copies a much-needed iPhone display feature
The Galaxy S24 lineup is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and has a smattering of new AI features.
Samsung added some AI-powered photo-editing features that allow users to get recommended edits for photos and even fill in backgrounds with generative AI.
The S24 lineup is equipped with 120Hz refresh rate displays across all models including the base S24 model.
Samsung has copied Apple by giving the S24 and S24 Plus a flat frame instead of the rounded one used previously, as well as a matte look.
The iPhone 15 Pro is quite limited in terms of zoom capabilities, especially since it doesn't have the 5x optical zoom that its larger sibling has.
Apple should consider copying this from the S24 Ultra and give the iPhone 16 Pro a tetraprism telephoto camera with up to 5x optical zoom capabilities.
The OnePlus Open reached a whopping 4,500 nits peak brightness, eclipsing Apple in terms of display brightness.
Apple has some catching up to do and should increase the peak brightness of the iPhone 16's display similar to what it did with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 which went from 2,000 nits to 3,000 nits.
