Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max

By Scott Marlette Last updated Nov 9, 2021

Below are a few Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra renders created by Technizo Concept (Parvez Khan) that try to visualize the new S22 Ultra camera arrangement that couldn’t exactly be called raindrop like what LG did with the Velvet first, but it’s pretty close.

Alleged S22 Ultra in the wild

Even though the 13 Pro Max has the largest active screen area of any iPhone so far, smaller notch and everything, it’d be no match for the stubby S22 Ultra where Samsung’s new Border Reduction Structure project shines with an even thinner bottom bezel. It, too, will offer the biggest screen area on a top-shelf Galaxy, what with a 6.8″ display diagonal longer than the 6.7″ one on the 13 Pro Max, but with a wider aspect ratio.

S22 Ultra vs 13 Pro Max displays

While Apple boosted the peak iPhone 13 Pro Max display brightness to 1200 nits, the new LTPO OLED panel generation in the S22 Ultra will smash that value to the ground with 1800 nits of pure outdoor visibility joy, earning it the best phone display title in the process, barring any unpleasant color presentation surprises.

Granted, such high brightness levels will only be possible on the 1440p panel of the Ultra when you are watching HDR content in high ambient light settings, yet the same goes for the iPhone, so the Galaxy will have an upper hand here.

A more granular refresh rate control down to the single hertz hence more efficient display power consumption may also be in store for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max can do a 10Hz-120Hz range. Its refresh rate control is a tad smarter, though, by adjusting the speed on the fly, including while you touch the display, so in terms of battery efficiency Apple’s 120Hz implementation may prove superior.

The S22 Ultra will strike back with an active digitizer layer that allows it to react to Samsung’s S Pen stylus which will be tucked in a silo on the phone itself for the first time since the Note 20 series, turning the Ultra into an all-powerful input machine.

Display measurements and quality

Samsung S22 Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro Max camera

Compared to the triple 12MP camera set on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the Galaxy S22 Ultra camera specs may sound as something out of this world – main 108MP camera, a 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP 3x telephoto or 10x periscope zoom sensors, but they are actually the same as on the S21 Ultra.

Samsung may be placing an upgraded 108MP main sensor with wider lens aperture on top to capture more light. The 13 Pro Max has the largest sensor ever put in an iPhone, though, and one of the largest on phones, period, so the added low-light prowess of the S22 Ultra main camera may just be catching up.

The new generation of the 108MP ISOCELL line in the S22 Ultra has reportedly allowed it to capture much more detail, too, and that’s an area where the 13 Pro Max will find it hard to beat the Galaxy, even though it also offers ProRes video and photo mode with RAW imagery to edit on.

Allegedly, Samsung is also introducing a much more precise image stabilization that has been said to reduce hand shakes and vibrations while walking by 48%, so expect sharper photos and smoother videos to take on the iPhone 13 Pro Max Sensor Shift stabilization tech.

Samsung S22 Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro Max specs and processor performance

Specs	Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra	iPhone 13 Pro Max
Display	6.8″, 1440p, 19.3:9 aspect, 1Hz-120Hz, 1800 nits	6.7″, 1284p, 19.5:9 aspect, 10Hz-120Hz, 1200 nits
Processor	4nm Snapdragon 898/Exynos 2200	5nm Apple A15
Cameras	New 108MP, 12MP ultrawide, new 10MP periscope/telephoto zoom Sony sensors, 48% better image stabilization	12MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 12MP telephoto zoom, Sensor Shift stabilization
Battery and charging	5000mAh battery, 45W charging	4352mAh battery, 20W charging

The S22 Ultra would be upgrading on the Snapdragon 888 processor that is found in the S21 Ultra with a 4nm Snapdragon 898, but it’s the Exynos 2200 version of the S22 Ultra with the AMD graphics that is the more interesting one, and that’s the one Verizon wants.

Snapdragon 898 vs Apple A15 vs Exynos 2200 benchmark scores

As has become customary, though, the Apple A15 processor in the iPhone 13 Pro Max might wipe the floor with both the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 898, as you can see from the benchmark scores below.

Galaxy S22 Exynos 2200 vs Apple A15 vs Snapdragon 898 benchmark scores

Bear in mind that the 898 scores here are taken from a pre-production Tab S8 Ultra, and a prototype S22, so with further refinements to both the engineering prototype and the chipset software management, we can reasonably expect a faster S22 Ultra performance compared to the A15 than what you see here. Moreover, Apple’s processor is clocked much higher compared to the Snapdragon or Exynos cores that are tested in the benchmark.

Synthetic benchmarks are not that indicative of real-world performance, as there is throttling under pressure to consider, too, so we’ll test the Galaxy S22 Ultra processors against the A15 in iPhone 13 Pro Max as soon as we get a hold on those, with a special emphasis on the graphics subsystem scores from AMD.

Galaxy S22 Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro Max battery life and charging speeds

Both phones sport big batteries, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra already proved to be the longest lasting Android flagship phone in its top-shelf specs segment, so we expect nothing less from the S22 Ultra. The iPhone 13 Pro Max, however, managed to occupy the top place in our flagship phone battery life chart, and the S22 Ultra will have a hard time beating its efficient marriage of in-house hardware and software, even though it has about 10% smaller battery than the 5000mAh pack in the Ultra.

The S22 Ultra may also finally be able to support fast 45W charging speeds. We would say it’s high time considering that the Chinese competition is already at up to 120W, but Samsung is able to pull off charging wonders with just the 25W brick of the S21 Ultra, topping up its 5000mAh battery in an hour or so. Moreover, Apple is known for slow charging, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max is no exception, as its 4352mAh pack gets to a full charge in the abominable 2+ hours.
