Currently, there is no specific information available about the residual motion in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra compared to the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, we can look at how stabilization works in similar models and infer based on that.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is the predecessor to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, offers very good video stabilization, thanks to its hardware and software technologies like OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization). This results in minimal residual motion and smooth video capture, even in conditions like walking or running[2].
For the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, while specific stabilization performance details are not provided, Samsung typically uses advanced stabilization technologies as well. However, previous models like the Galaxy S24 Ultra have shown some issues with video focus and stabilization, particularly in bright light conditions[5].
Given that the iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to build upon the stabilization capabilities of its predecessors, it likely offers robust stabilization similar to or better than the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, with its advanced hardware, might also provide strong stabilization, but without specific data, it's difficult to compare directly.
In general, both devices are likely to offer good stabilization, but the exact comparison would depend on detailed tests and reviews of the iPhone 17 Pro Max once it is released.
