Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max vs. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (Deutsch) | SwagTab

Hello and welcome to the Swag Club. This year, of course, it will again be the time of the duel between the giants Apple against Samsung iPhone 14 pro Max against Galaxy S22

ultra

, the best Apple smartphone currently against the best Samsung smartphone currently, yes, I know. That 22

ultra

has been around since February and doesn't make the device itself any worse. We compared it to the iPhone 13 pro Max back then and now we want to take a look at what has happened and to what extent Apple has been. able to catch up: both of course are equipped with the latest top hardware, I think they both have very different strengths but also weaknesses and that is exactly what this video is about.

I'll show you which one works best in each discipline and. In the end, of course, I will clarify the question of which of the two is more suitable for whom. I wish you a lot of fun and I would say: come on, both smartphones are undoubtedly extremely large and, above all, heavy. The 22 Ultra is at least 12 grams lighter and thanks to the slightly rounded edge on the sides. Personally, I think the screen is a little more comfortable to hold in your hand, it's not as bulky as the iPhone, the difference is big, but I wouldn't really base my purchase on that, compared to February, handling with just one Handheld is no longer possible with both in many situations, but it is noticeable that the iPhone now has slightly thinner screen edges and a thick, chunky notch.

At least in part history, Dynamic Island is really just a marketing term for two individual bumps that, with the help of the OLED display, become a single, larger bump. In short, it's still significantly larger than the small bump of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. When it comes to optics, Samsung clearly wins for me. It just looks cleaner and more modern. The screen, which is tilted slightly towards the edges, only reinforces this impression. The days when edge displays still had our drawbacks are long gone. , thank goodness, but of course Apple also has a good reason why its megalin is too big.

The iPhone has three-dimensional facial recognition. At Samsung, it is only two-dimensional and therefore much less secure. The 22 Ultra also has it. an ultrasonic-based in-display fingerprint sensor, which also unlocks the device quickly and securely. Personally, I find Face ID, i.e. Apple's facial recognition, to be even a little more reliable and now, with the mask function, it is finally again more suitable for daily use. , but in the end that is a matter of taste. The fingerprint sensor, which is the 22 Ultras, is also very different and is also available on the frame. In both cases it is quite susceptible to scratches or fingerprints but in.

Samsung's stainless steel, on the other hand, over aluminum, which you now like more, is finally back somewhere. It's a matter of taste, I think they both feel very high quality and pleasant. There are also some differences in the design of the device. The iPhone buttons have a news switch and the louder and quieter buttons on the left on the Samsung are on the right. Both can be used similarly in everyday life, at least that's what they both believe is available with up to 1 terabyte of memory. which unfortunately cannot be expanded. Both have IP68 protection against water and dust ingress and both have stereo speakers with excellent sound.

I think the iPhone is a little better here, but that's just the outside. You only hear in a direct comparison that Samsung. It scores points, but with its USB-C 3.2 port, the standard is simply faster and more future-proof than Apple's proprietary Lightning port, which is a device that costs at least €1,450 and the pro designation in the name It's not really appropriate anymore. On the back it is quite similar. Both manufacturers use matte glass which feels very high quality and is also relatively resistant to fingerprints if you don't necessarily choose black or gray as your color. Both devices have huge camera beams, though I personally think so.

This is something that Samsung does. Here too the cameras clearly protrude from the housing and, when placed on a table, both devices wobble when used in a more discreet and elegant way. We continue with the software. The iPhone, of course, comes with iOS 16 and you. You can easily use at least five updates to wait for years. Samsung is banking on Android 12, which will be updated to Android 13 in the coming weeks. Additionally, there is the internal user interface. They promise four major Android version updates. security updates until at least February 2027. So in that sense, both devices are pretty much future-proof.

Years ago, you could have philosophized here for half an hour about the pros and cons of the operating systems, but I personally think the systems are actually more similar than ever, so I'll stick to what the two devices do a little better. Since the competitor, the iPhone, finally got an always-on display this year, but unfortunately there are not as many settings and customization options as Samsung and it consumes much more power. Apple still has a lot to do here. A highlight are the 22 Ultras. In addition to Samsung Decks, there is definitely also the integrated S-Pen with which you can take notes, draw, edit images and much more.

This is undoubtedly a super useful feature for many. The iPhone, on the other hand, has Dynamic Island and Apple is especially trying to take advantage of it. It is now possible to derive everyday life by listening. music or start the timer or when navigating with Apple Maps many more features are coming soon. The developers are now responsible for it. Currently, Dynamic Island is definitely not a game-changer, at least not for me. Personally, I miss the other operating system. With a little adaptation, you can now get along very well with both of them. What is also interesting is the question of performance, while Apple is betting on its internal A16 Bionic hexacor processor and its 6 GB.

Regarding RAM, Samsung has also participated. Its internal 2100 processor and at least 8 GB of RAM are clearly ahead in everyday life, but despite the fact that the S 22 Ultra has already been on the market for a long time. received several performance updates, the iPhone performs a little better here. There is almost never any stuttering or lag and the overall running speed is a bit smoother and at a slightly higher level. In my opinion, the problem is simply the Samsung Galaxy Note processor. , an example of Galaxy Z Fold four, this one with Snapdragon eight plus Gin one performs noticeably better, especially when it comes to more complex things like games, video editing or 3D calculations, the A16 Bionic has the advantage and is noticeably ahead in many games.

They are still better optimized for iOS and therefore look a little better. Do not misunderstand. The 22 ultra offers excellent performance and you will probably be very satisfied with it, but in a direct comparison, the point is for Apple. A little more complicated again with the 6.7 or 6.8 inch OLED screens, which are similar in size to Samsung's. At 500 dpi, but with a slightly sharper display, in a direct comparison you can sometimes see this difference in sharpness in everyday life. Not relevant, but here I am absolutely satisfied with both and in terms of color representation and color fastness, both are some of the best out there currently.

So I can see that Apple is minimally ahead when it comes to the value of white, but again. these are only on the outside, it's not really worth mentioning that the two devices also have the brightest smartphone screens on the market in manual mode, they are equally bright in extreme situations, so if the sun hits the screen, the iPhone becomes 30 to 40 for a while brighter, according to the measurements of some colleagues. This definitely makes a difference and you can see that in 99% of cases the Ultras are still easy to read, but in an emergency, Apple finally has slightly better cards.

As for cameras, the topic should also be very interesting for many people. The iPhone has a 12, the S 22 ultra even has a 40 megapixel front camera on the back. Apple uses a triple camera setup consisting of a main and a wide-angle camera. -angle camera and a telephoto lens. Samsung also has a second goal for the phone. Here you can choose between a triple optical zoom and a ten-fold optical zoom. Both manufacturers supply the devices among different software devices. For cameras, it can be said that with Samsung you can easily configure more manually, which definitely has advantages if you know what you are doing, but finally let's start comparing the image with the main camera, honestly I find it difficult to do so.

A win, they both take extremely sharp and detailed images with very similar color rendering and really high dynamic range, at least for a smartphone camera like this. In the end, it's a matter of taste which one you like. a little better in terms of image characteristics, but I have a winner. I'm not here, at least not in good lighting conditions, but in less light, I notice that the iPhone only switches to night mode a little later and then always. a little shorter after exposure, so you can simply take the pictures a little faster, which is a clear advantage in image quality.

Ultimately, again at a similarly high level, sometimes I like the iPhone a little more, sometimes it's 22 ultra, but Here you also notice that the two have become increasingly similar in terms of color rendering depending on the mode and so on in recent years, and the performance of wide-angle cameras has also become quite similar. Similarly, when there is a lot of light. , they definitely provide added value, but for me neither of them is visibly better than the other. When there is less light, Samsung sometimes takes brighter photos that need to be exposed for longer, but they are often a little blurrier and noisier.

Overall I like the iPhone a little more here as zooming in against it becomes significantly more complicated at three times magnification, both are very good, but in more difficult lighting conditions the iPhone often delivers image quality slightly better if you then want to get closer, especially of course, with a tenfold magnification, the S22 ultra clearly wins here in some cases. In general, higher zoom levels often result in better maps, especially in good lighting conditions. Overall, the point here is for the S22 ultra because it is simply configured. In the videos, the iPhone clearly wins, don't get me wrong.

Samsung is still here in first place in the Android area, but the iPhone plays in a completely different league, be it in terms of terms. stabilization, color reproduction, image sharpness or even audio, which can then be filmed in the rest, that's the icing on the cake. Currently no one can beat Apple. Things get a little more complicated with the front camera. they are very good. I think the 22 ultra is a little better in terms of image sharpness. The iPhone, on the other hand, usually improves the color of the face a little and is also more realistic.

For me, there is no clear winner. This also applies to voice reception and quality. Samsung has also caught up with the vibration motor this year. However, there are also differences in terms of battery life. here with 5000 milliamp hours, but the iPhone just lasts longer, even though 120Hz is on, I can easily manage about 8 and a half hours of screen time with the S22 ultra, it's a maximum of six and a half hours if It is also activated on the screen, the difference is not so noticeable anymore, but Apple has it here. I'm ahead, while I can usually spend the day with the S22 Ultra, with the iPhone even a day and a half.

After all, no problem, it's the 22 Ultra with the optionally available 45 watt power supply, but you still need the iPhone to be fully charged in about an hour and 50 minutes more, both of which are of course not optimal , is not a maximum value, but the. The point clearly goes to Samsung, they both support wireless charging, that's 22 ultra, plus reverse wireless charging. Some people will definitely comment that in the end it depends on what devices anyway. If you already have three or four Apple devices, of course. Of course, it will be very difficult to convince you to change and vice versa, of course, it is the same and that is absolutely true, so the point is completely correct, but there are still some who would like to try something new or who say hello now.

We've finally reached the point where Apple has gone overboard with pricing. I want to try something new and that's exactly why I'm making this video here. You have to say clearly that both devices are amazing and really good. Their strengths, I think they were noticed in the course of the video, they both also have some weaknesses, but yes, these are in theirmostly abroad, so you should look very carefully if you compare prices with each other on all price search engines. for new devices in really good and reliable stores, that's allThe Galaxy S22 ultra is currently about 450 euros cheaper, of course, it has been on the market for a while and that could change in the coming weeks, but to be honest, I don't expect a big price drop for the iPhone, always There will still be between 350 and 400 euros, that is my assessment and I will tell you with complete sincerity, even if the iPhone is a little better in some disciplines in terms of battery life, brightness of the screen and maybe also performance, then it will be really difficult. , although in this case it is a little better to justify this huge price difference, at least in my opinion, because the S22 ultra also has its advantages in a direct comparison, for example with regard to the zoom and, of course, in the regarding zoom. to the loading times there is the Espen, there are Samsung platforms, so I have to say very clearly if at Apple, if by some miracle the prices drop significantly in the coming weeks and months, then that is 22 ultra from an objective point.

In terms of price and performance, of course, the best option. The iPhone, on the other hand, for me is simply the slightly better device in terms of the overall package. Now it becomes clear again when we look at the comparison. , both have many advantages per point, but in my opinion the most important points are on the iPhone side, some of them are just a wart, but especially when it comes to the battery, the screen or In terms of performance, the differences They are quite noticeable, so if you say hey, money doesn't matter to me and I give a lot of importance to these points of the iPhone that I have already mentioned, for example the battery life, for example the maximum brightness of the screen.

For example, the Performance video camera, etc., you can also use the iPhone, then it is probably worth the extra cost. Of course, you can't go wrong with any of them, as I said, they are currently two of the best, if not. the two best devices on the market but I think there are some differences, some disciplines in which one or the other is a little better and I hope I have been able to show you very well with this video. I was able to help one or the other with the purchasing decision. You can see it here now.

My reviews show up on the S22 ultra of course, but also the iPhone 14 pro Max if you're still interested in one of the. Devices, take a look, thanks for watching. We'll probably see each other again in January, February, March with the s23 Ultra or whatever it's called versus the iPhone 14 pro max, bye until next time.
