I'm currently using a Samsung S25 Ultra, but I'm considering switching to an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Although I know the S25 Ultra has better specs overall, I'm frustrated with the video quality on TikTok since it seems to get really compressed and looks poor. I've also been experiencing issues with high RAM usage on my S25 Ultra, which makes it laggy at times. I'm curious if the iPhone would solve my TikTok quality issue and if it's worth making the switch given my current problems.

The compression issue you’re facing can often be fixed with the right export settings. It’s not always about the device; it may just require tweaking some settings to improve quality. As for the lag on your S25 Ultra, this can happen if your storage is nearly full, plus having a lot of bloatware can slow things down too. Maybe a clean-up could help?
I wouldn't assume the S25 is definitively better than the iPhone. It really depends on your needs and if you're ready to dive into the Apple ecosystem. Check out some comparison reviews because sometimes it's about what you’re comfortable with and how effective each device is for your use cases.

I’ve got 167 GB free and I only use about 98 GB, so that shouldn't really be the issue for me. My lag seems to happen only on TikTok.
