Galaxy S23 Ultra vs. Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, which one is better for you?
Apple iPhone and Samsung both are well-renowned companies that continue to compete with each other every year. Recently Samsung launched its latest product in the form of the Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra in February 2023, nevertheless, Apple has to introduce its best product iPhone 15 Pro Max in September of 2023.
Although we already know about the comparison between Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max, where the S23 Ultra has got a significant lead. Yet, it is not Apple’s latest product.
However, will this year Apple’s latest model be able to beat the already existing Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra? It is a query consumers want to know. So, here is a brief comparison of these two most hype-created products for our readers.
Design and Display
As we previously have seen the S23 Ultra has introduced cutting edges that make it more attractive and handy than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, rumors claim that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is going to feature slightly curved sides which will make it more comfortable to grip.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max seems to be a somehow larger display than its predecessor. Yet, still Galaxy s23 ultra has a lead of 0.1 inches. Making it more elegant with a large display to watch movies.
The manufacturing material of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the same as the S22 Ultra (stainless steel), however, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is going to advanced titanium, which will make it lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro Max and Galaxy S23 Ultra as well.
We already know the iPhone 14 Pro Max is in space black, silver, and gold color, but this time iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to come in red color which will be more fascinating and attractive. However, Galaxy S23 Ultra comes in Green, Cream, Phantom Black, Lavender, and a few other exclusive colors over at Samsung.com.
Performance and Hardware
Apple is going to launch its A17 bionic chipset which will be 3nm in length. This size is enough to adjust thousands of transistors in it leading to the fastest performance with more efficiency. Nevertheless, the Galaxy S23 Ultra uses 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 which is better than previous models but slightly better than the S22 Ultra. This is surely not going to compete with Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max efficiency.
Storage
Besides, apple is going to increase its RAM as well which will be estimated at upto 12GB. So, comparing it with the S23 Ultra’s 8GB RAM will merely be an insult.
Camera and photography
As we already know the iPhone 14 Pro Max camera is far away from approaching the Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra resolution. With a 200 MP camera, Samsung has left a hard-to-break record for the Apple iPhone.
However, rumors say that Apple has decided to introduce a new sensor in its camera which allows taking better picture quality even in low light. Still, the ultra S23 200MP camera with a large 1/1.3″ ISOCELL HP2 sensor already made it possible by giving 16MP high-quality photos.
IPhone 15 Pro Max enthusiasts also claim that this September iphone’s latest product will own a periscope lens which will enable its zoom-in capability upto 5x-6x. However, Samsung has already achieved the quality of 6x-10x zoom-in.
Yet, this September will clear each aspect regarding the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera and photography.
Battery Life and Charging
iPhone does not have a good reputation for its battery timing, but due to the innovation of the 3nm chipset, we expect much more from the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has already a 5000mAh battery which is far better than all pre-existing iPhones.
Yet, we can’t say exactly whether the iPhone 15 Pro Max will own more battery time or not. Because it depends upon the customer’s review and experience.
