Improved cameras, a larger battery, and a brighter display with a 120Hz refresh rate are all features of the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The Galaxy S21 Ultra already has the latter function, too, and Samsung’s phablet has its own amazing cameras and performance. Additionally, the S21 Ultra supports the S Pen. Before Samsung S22 Ultra, S21 Ultra was the best but Samsung has launched new features to make the S22 best.
Display
Let’s start with the Noticeable differences between these two. Undoubtedly, both phones are enormous, but the iPhone seems to be the larger of the two. The iPhone has a completely flat display and wider boundaries, but the Galaxy employs a screen that is somewhat tapered.
The iPhone has these flat shiny sides that look fantastic but feel a little sharp and uncomfortable when you hold the phone. The Galaxy, on the other hand, has slightly curved sides that make it a little easier to handle.
Colors
The iPhone 13 Pro Max is available in Graphite, Gold, Silver, and Sierra Blue. Phantom Black, Phantom Silver, Phantom Titanium, Phantom Navy, and Phantom Brown options are more plentiful on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. They are all expert-grade hues that are a little subdued.
Cameras
The cameras on the Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max are somehow similar to each other. Both smartphones have triple camera displays, but Apple is emphasizing low-light photography this time around. The main lens utilizes a larger sensor than previously and lets in 49% more light, while the ultrawide angle lens’ aperture has also improved.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra’s zooming capabilities, meanwhile, continue to rule. In comparison to the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 3x optical zoom, that phone’s 10MP telephoto lens has a 10x zoom capability.
But on the other hand, the Ultra Wide Angle feature of the iPhone 13 Pro Max is so far better than Samsung S21 Ultra.
Performance
iPhone 13 Pro Max uses the latest A15 chip and Samsung is never close to that. It has better and fast processing as compared to Samsung S21 Ultra.
Water Resistant
Both phone has the same IPX rating. They are IP68 resistant. That you can do the water test easily. iPhone 13 Pro Max can stay a bit longer in water as compared to Samsung S21 Ultra.
Battery
The iPhone 13 Pro Max was discovered to have a 4,352mAh battery, while the Samsung device has a 5,000mAh battery.
Even while it is considerably less than Samsung’s battery, the 3,687mAh equivalent of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which had remarkable endurance, has been greatly increased. Neither the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra nor the iPhone 13 Pro Max has the most advanced charging capabilities. While the iPhone 13 Pro Max supports wired charging up to 20W, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra only supports wired charging up to 25W.
Software
Apple’s iOS 15 is pre-installed on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The most recent software update from Apple includes updates to the Maps, FaceTime, Wallet, and Photos apps as well as a new Focus mode for blocking out distracting notifications. It also includes Live Text and Visual Look Up features that use on-device intelligence to recognize text and objects in photos.
Samsung has stepped up its software support efforts, promising three years of software updates and four years of security fixes for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Security
iPhone has the best face recognition but sometimes it does not recognize the face while having a mask on. On the other hand, Samsung has fingerprint verification which can make things easier.
Price
Both models have a price difference. Samsung S21 Ultra is 899AUD but on the other hand, the price of the iPhone 13 Pro Max is 2765$. Both have a huge difference in price.
In the end, the iPhone 13 Pro Max offers some nice enhancements, such as the best battery life for an iPhone to date and upgrades to all the cameras, but it falls short of the Galaxy’s long-range zoom and lacks the openness of the Android operating system. These two still-distinct gadgets are both superb in their own way.
