Samsung S22 Ultra V/S Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max





If you're seeking to purchase a new flagship phone, you may be debating between the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Given your preferences, one may end up being superior to the other. The former has a beginning price of $1,099, while the latter debuted in early 2022 with a starting price of $1,199.

Dimensions and Build Quality


  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 163.3 x 77.9 x 8.9 mm; 228g; IP68 dust and water-resistant
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max: 160.7 x 77.6 x 7.85 mm; 240 grams; IP68 dust and water-resistant
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is larger than the iPhone 14 Pro Max in height, width, and thickness. In contrast to the stronger but heavier stainless steel frame on the iPhone, it has an aluminium frame, making it lighter. The iPhone is more comfortable to grasp in your hands because to its rounded corners.
The front and back of the S22 Ultra are made of Gorilla Glass Victus+, while the front glass of the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a Ceramic Shield coating. Both phones are fairly sturdy, but the S22 Ultra's curved screen is more likely to fracture than the iPhone's flat one.

Camera

  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 108MP f/1.8 primary, OIS, PDAF, 8K video at 24fps; 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide (120-degree FoV), macro photography; 10MP f/2.4 telephoto, OIS, 3x optical zoom; 10MP f/4.9 periscope, OIS, 10x optical zoom; 100x digital hybrid zoom; Front: 40MP f/2.2, PDAF, 4K video at 60fps
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max: 48MP f/1.8 primary, sensor-shift OIS, dual-pixel PDAF, 4K video at 60fps; 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide (120-degree FoV), dual-pixel PDAF, macro photography; 12MP f/2.8 telephoto, OIS, 3x digital zoom; Front: 12MP f/1.9, PDAF, 4K video at 60fps

  • One of the greatest camera upgrades in a while was made to the iPhone 14 Pro series, which went from a 12MP main camera to a 48MP quad-pixel sensor. Naturally, Samsung would be happy to tell you that the S22 Ultra has a primary sensor with a better resolution (108MP). Regardless, pixel binning will set both cameras' default resolution to 12MP.

  • Despite their same technical capabilities, both smartphones handle colours extremely differently. You might remember from our thorough camera comparison of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max that the former leans toward warmer and more natural colours while the latter favours cooler and more vibrant hues. This time around, it's the same, and you might favour one over the other.The intensive image processing of the S22 Ultra will produce brighter images in low-light situations, but this is not always preferable because you occasionally want to capture the true spirit of nightfall. Low-light images taken with the iPhone 14 Pro Max may be a little bit darker, but they appear less grainy.Like before, videos play considerably more smoothly on the iPhone than on the Samsung. Although the S22 Ultra's 8K video capability is technically remarkable, it is merely one of many overrated smartphone features that you will most likely never use. On the iPhone, portrait photographs appear smoother, but the S22 Ultra's 10x optical zoom captures distant subjects quite effectively.

Processor

  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/Exynos 2200; 4nm process; Adreno 730/AMD Xclipse 920 GPU
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max: A16 Bionic; 4nm process; 5-core GPU
The A16 Bionic chip that drives the iPhone 14 Pro Max is far more powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/Exynos 2200 chip in the S22 Ultra. The A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13 series is now even more powerful than Qualcomm's top products, which was already a big difference.That is not to suggest that the S22 Ultra lacks sufficient power. It's extremely doubtful that you'll notice any difference in typical everyday use. However, the iPhone will be far more effective at handling the burden during gaming, making it a superior option for competitive gamers.

Display

  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 6.8-inch LTPO Dynamic AMOLED 2x; 1440 x 3080 resolution; 500 PPI; 1,750 nits peak brightness; 120Hz dynamic refresh rate; HDR10+; Gorilla Glass Victus+; Always-on Display
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max: 6.7-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display; 1290 x 2796 resolution; 460 PPI; 2,000 nits peak brightness; 120Hz ProMotion; HDR 10; Ceramic Shield protection; Always-on Display
The new Dynamic Island feature on the iPhone 14 Pro series has finally replaced the notch as the new face of the iPhone after years of doing so. It essentially serves as the notification panel's fancy substitute. The pill-shaped cutout can enlarge and show quick facts like notifications and running background tasks.

The S22 Ultra, however, readily offers a more immersive viewing experience because to its elegant boxy form and minimal hole-punch cutout. Both devices use LTPO technology and a 120Hz refresh rate, however the S22 Ultra's QHD display might appear a little bit sharper.





The Always-On Display that Apple announced is merely another feature that Android phones have had for years and is also found on the iPhone 14 Pro. The business's implementation, however, is distinct though not required

Storage and RAM
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage and 8/12GB of RAM
6GB RAM; 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Since Apple silicon is so effective, it uses less RAM than Android smartphones. Therefore, the iPhone 14 Pro Max's 6GB RAM will still offer the same level of multitasking performance as the 8GB RAM in the Galaxy S22 Ultra. But you begin to see minuscule differences if you purchase the 12GB RAM version.



The base model of both devices has 128GB of internal storage, and the highest model has 1TB. The two phones do not each have a MicroSD card slot for additional storage. For more information on how much storage your phone needs, consult our guide.

Battery



5000mAh battery, 45W rapid wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging are all features of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

4323mAh battery, 15W MagSafe wireless charging capability, 7.5W Qi wireless charging, and 50% charge in 30 minutes for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Among all smartphones in 2021, the iPhone 13 Pro Max has by far the best battery life. Therefore, it seems to reason that the iPhone 14 Pro Max should perform even better, but it doesn't. Battery tests reveal that the battery life of both devices is essentially the same, but that is probably because of the new always-on display.
But there's no need to be very depressed about this. Even so, the 4323mAh battery on the iPhone 14 Pro Max will last a lot longer than the 5000mAh battery on the S22 Ultra. However, the latter charges more quickly because it supports 45W fast charging.



Price

Price for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is $1,199.

Price for the iPhone 14 Pro Max is $1,099

Launch prices for the Galaxy S22 Ultra were $1,199 for the entry-level model and $1,599 for the model with the most storage and RAM (12GB total). The starting price for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, in contrast, is $1,099 for the base model and $1,599 for the model with 1TB of storage.
Apple, at least in the United States, has a price advantage, but since the S22 Ultra has been available for a while, you might be able to find a better value. Additionally, if you already own a qualifying gadget, you may trade it in to get one of these flagships for a significantly lower price.
