Announced in September of this year, the iPhone 14 Pro Max it's the best smartphone Apple at the time. The device delivers a large screen of great quality, competent processor, new 48 megapixel camera and the much praised Dynamic Island, which replaces the traditional carving present since the iPhone X. 57586p
However, the new top of the range from the Cupertino giant is not alone in the market. His great rival, the Galaxy s22 ultra, also provides what the Samsung can offer the best, such as a 108 megapixel camera with 10x optical zoom, for S Pen , and more.
If you are in doubt about which model to buy, watch our comparative video on YouTube or follow our list here in the article!
Design 145g70
Right off the bat, it is quite evident that the iPhone 14 Pro Max is practically identical to its predecessor (iPhone 13 Pro Max) — the main difference is on the front with Dynamic Island. It reduces the traditional or to a pill, which changes dynamically to show additional information on the screen. And next to it is the selfie camera, right inside the screen.
Already Galaxy s22 ultra goes to a more discreet format, with just the selfie camera inside the screen.
In addition, the smartphone Apple It features a construction, with straight edges, frosted glass on the back and stainless steel sides, features that ensure a stylish appearance, but make it heavier and thicker than the Galaxy s22 ultra.
I particularly prefer the design of the S22 Ultra as it respects the rectangular screen and is easier to hold.
Regarding durability, the South Korean giant's device was launched with Gorilla Glass Victus + on the rear and front windows, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a coating known as ceramic shield. Both are very resistant, but regardless of the technology applied, glass is still a less durable material, so caution is required.
Both the model of Samsung how much do you give Apple are protected against water and dust, with IP68 certification.

The rectangular screen of Galaxy s22 ultra have technology Dynamic AMOLED 2X and 6,8 inches with a resolution of 3088 x 1440 pixels, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max brings a with rounded edges and technology Super Retina XDR OLED. But it is slightly smaller (6,7 inches), with 2796 x 1290 pixels resolution. Both even offer a variable refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.
The average might not notice the difference in screens that much. But it's more pleasant to watch movies and series on the Samsung screen, which delivers brighter colors, has a rectangular appearance and fewer distractions on the display.
But the iPhone will do better when you need to use the phone in sunlight, as its screen is brighter.
Performance 58a2u
O iPhone 14 Pro Max has a processor A16 Bionic 4nm hexa-core, combined with 6GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. O Galaxy s22 ultra, on the other hand, bets on a chip Snapdragon 8 Gen1 (also 4nm) with up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
Although it seems that the smartphone from Samsung is more powerful, the processor of the Apple remains the great “key” to elevate the performance of each generation of the iPhone. It is, as Apple claims, the most powerful smartphone processor on the market.
In video editing tests, involving transcoding a 4K file to Full HD using the application Adobe Premiere Rush, the device of Apple performed the process in 30 seconds, while the rival needed 47 seconds.
In summary, in of performance, the iPhone 14 Pro Max sures the Galaxy s22 ultra with some slack. However, this does not mean that the flagship da Samsung be bad. On the contrary, it delivers a competent processor to perform any task without any problem. The determining factor for competitive advantage is better management of the hardware, especially in graphics.
Cameras 353z5z
Before we talk about the quality of the cameras, it is important to know what each model offers. Check out the full specs below:
Galaxy s22 ultra i4558
- Wide: 108 megapixels (f/1.8) with optical image stabilization;
- Telephoto Periscope: 10 megapixels (f/4.9) with 10x optical zoom;
- Telephoto: 10 megapixels (f/2.4) with 3x optical zoom;
- UltraWide: 12 megapixels (f/2.2) with 120 degree field of view;
- ToF 3D;
- Front: 40 megapixels (f/2.2).
iPhone 14 Pro Max 243k8
- Wide: 48 megapixels (f/1.8) with optical image stabilization;
- Telephoto: 12 megapixels (f/2.8) with 3x optical zoom;
- UltraWide: 12 megapixels (f/2.2) with 120 degree field of view;
- LiDAR;
- Front: 12 megapixels (f/1.9).
The overall quality of photos from both devices is excellent, being these two of the best smartphones on the market in this regard. However, they handle colors in different ways. O iPhone 14 Pro Max captures warmer, more natural images, while the Galaxy s22 ultra adopts colder and more vivid tones, as if it were a pre-edit of the photo.
In low light conditions, the device Samsung applies more aggressive post-processing to lighten the photos, which in some cases generates a greater amount of noise. O iPhone 14 Pro Max puts that idea aside and records slightly darker images, but with less visible grain.
But the great advantage of Galaxy s22 ultra is certainly the zoom. It has up to 10x optical zoom, compared to the iPhone's 3x. In practice, this means you'll be able to capture scenes on the Galaxy that will never be seen on the iPhone, zooming in on landscapes and reaching for items in the distance.
And the S22 Ultra still has up to 100x digital zoom, although it's only really useful up to 30x zoom. After all, Samsung loves to roll around with specs.
In of video recording, the flagship from South Korea can shoot in up to 8K at 24 fps, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max it's limited to 4K at 60fps, which is no small feat either. But filming requires a whole set of characteristics, which involve lens quality, processor power, computational photography technologies and color science. And in this, Apple is queen. It's no wonder that there are many people making movies directly on the iPhone.
The conclusion we can draw is that both models offer excellent images, with the Galaxy s22 ultra standing out for its zoom and photo quality, and the smartphone from Apple for the quality of the videos.
Battery 554u5p
Despite the Apple not disclose battery capacity, teardowns revealed that the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 4.323 mAh power cell, while the Galaxy s22 ultra brings 5.000 mAh. Although it offers a greater quantity, the device of the Samsung still loses to the rival when it comes to time away from the take.
Tests showed that when browsing the internet over a 5G network and at 150 nits of brightness, the new iPhone lasted an average of 13 hours and 39 minutes. The S22 Ultra, on the other hand, clocked “only” 10 hours and 18 minutes.
The situation changes when charging the battery. In 30 minutes, the iPhone 14 Pro Max delivered 42% charge using a 30 watt charger. At the same time, the Galaxy s22 ultra reached 58% with a 25 watt charger.
But, in general use, you can say that the one who manages the battery better is the iPhone. It's more guarantee that you won't run out of charge throughout the day.
Special Features n59k
In their new models, both the Samsung as for Apple prepare some interesting extras. The biggest highlight of iPhone 14 Pro Max is the resource Satellite Emergency SOS, which, as its name suggests, allows you to send an alert message to the authorities anywhere in the world, even without any internet connection.
On the side of Galaxy s22 ultra, We have the Wireless DeX ou Samsung DeX, function provides a wireless computer experience using the cell phone itself; and the famous pen S Pen, which has several features, such as camera activation, screen annotations and document g, for example.
Which one is the best? 265w6r
Each model has its advantages. The device of Samsung, for example, delivers a very high quality screen, great multitasking system, S Pen built-in, integration with the Samsung ecosystem and an excellent set of cameras, being the only one in Brazil with six sensors and 10x optical zoom.
Already flagship da Apple bets on a new brighter screen (excellent for using in the sun), the most powerful processor on the market, long battery life and a 48MP camera with Photonic engine, which records images with more light.
The decision to choose between one and the other depends on a few questions. Want a cheaper smartphone? take home the Galaxy S22 Ultra 256GB, which leaves for R$5.899, which is considerably lower than the R$11.499 charged in iPhone 14. The model of Samsung It's also great for those looking for a mobile professional lifestyle, thanks to the interaction features with the S Pen e Wireless DeX.
However, if you want more photography features and especially different functions to improve video content creation, the ideal choice is the iPhone 14 Pro Max. O Mode of Action, for example, uses machine learning to apply image corrections and prevent blur; O Kinematic mode now film in Full HD and the standard focal length of the Portrait Mode is 2x to improve the blur effect. In other words, when it comes to video quality and features, the Apple go ahead.
