I’ve reviewed Android foldables for years. The iPhone Ultra needs these 5 things to succeed

I recently wore both the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 while running a 10K to see how Samsung's latest offering compared. Both watches are designed for ruggedness and accuracy, featuring a shortcut button for starting exercises and dual-frequency GPS. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 had nearly identical results for duration, distance, calories burned, average pace, cadence, heart rate, and elevation gain.

However, there were a few notable differences. Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 boasts a brighter 1.52-inch Super AMOLED display with up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness, which was more legible and legible in various lighting conditions compared to the Apple Watch Ultra 2's 3,000-nit LTPO OLED screen. Additionally, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2's haptics felt stronger and more noticeable than the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and the included Marine Band strap was more comfortable than the Apple Watch Ultra 2's Trail Loop band, which became soaked in sweat during the run.

While the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is larger and less ideal for sleeping, the improved display, haptics, and strap make it a strong contender.
