Apple's iPhone 14 Pro Max vs Samsung's Galaxy S22 Ultra are two of the best flagship phones you can buy in 2022, but which one comes out on top?
In its most recent advertisement, Samsung warns iPhone lovers that the Apple event scheduled for next week would likely be underwhelming.
Apple is preparing for its Far Out event on September 7, which is expected to introduce a number of new devices, including the iPhone 14, Apple Watch 8, and perhaps one or two surprises, like the HomePod 2 or AirPods 4.
Samsung cautions anybody considering purchasing the new phone to be ready for heads to turn, "just not in your way." The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4's peculiar design and the Samsung Galaxy S22's potent camera, according to the South Korean maker, make them far more fascinating and outstanding devices.
Even though the iPhone 14 hasn't been officially announced, leaks and speculations have given us a solid idea of what to anticipate from the device. The iPhone 14 will also fall short of Samsung's S22 in terms of cameras. The finest camera on any iPhone 14 model is anticipated to be 48MP. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has a 108MP camera, compared to the regular S22's 50MP.
Analysis: Samsung Galaxy S22 vs iPhone 14
The base model of the iPhone 14 may not be as outperformed by Samsung's counterpart as the commercial would have you assume based on the rumored features. However, we can't compare both phones with certainty until we have the opportunity to use both.
Starting with displays, both smartphones are anticipated to have 6.1-inch OLED screens, with the S22's 2340 x 1080 resolution giving the Apple a little edge. The change in pixel count is probably undetectable.
With 8GB RAM compared to the probable 6GB of the iPhone 14, Samsung gains some ground. The S22's processor, though, didn't do as well in our testing as the A15 in the iPhone 13 - if the iPhone 14 delivers a CPU that's as good as or better than its predecessor, then its performance might not lag too far behind Samsung's.
Last but not least, we anticipate the phones' prices will be nearly comparable, with Samsung edging over Apple in some areas. The S22 costs $799/£769/AU$1,249, and if the iPhone 14 is priced the same as the 13, you may get one for $799/£779/AU$1,349.
When the iPhone 14 is officially unveiled to us next week, some of these specifics could alter. However, as you can see from how similar the two phones are, it might not be the greatest idea to follow Apple's toughest competitor's iPhone purchase recommendations.
Instead, we advise waiting until after the iPhone 14 is in reviewers' hands (like ours) and hearing what they have to say if you are in the market for a new smartphone. Additionally, if you can wait a little longer, the Google Pixel 7 is anticipated to launch in little over a month, giving you another alternative that could satisfy your smartphone demands.
