**Masked Camera Comparison: Samsung S22 Ultra vs Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max**

The Samsung S22 Ultra and Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max are two of the most powerful smartphones on the market, each with its own unique set of features and capabilities. In this article, we'll be comparing the cameras of these two devices, as well as their performance, speakers, and other features.

**Fingerprint Scanners**

One of the notable differences between the S22 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max is their fingerprint scanners. The S22 Ultra has an underdisplay fingerprint scanner, which is ultrasonic and provides excellent accuracy. In my opinion, this is the best under-display fingerprint scanner on a mainstream flagship. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro Max uses Face ID, which used to be a problem for me when wearing a mask. However, with Apple's recent update, this issue has been greatly reduced.

**Camera Comparison**

Before we dive into the camera comparison, I just wanted to remind you to subscribe and hit that bell icon if you're enjoying the video. We've actually done a SuperSafStyle camera comparison between the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the S22 Ultra, which is 20 minutes long and can be found after your subscription and viewing this video. However, for a brief summary, both devices have an ultra-wide camera, primary sensor, and three times telephoto camera. The S22 Ultra also has an additional periscope zoom camera that provides up to 10 times optical zoom, which is one of the best out there.

**Cameras: Which One Would I Pick Up for Photos and Videos?**

For a full breakdown of the cameras, including more details on the ultra-wide camera, primary sensor, and telephoto lens, you can check out our previous video. However, if I had to pick up one device that excels in both photography and videography, it would be the iPhone 14 Pro Max. While both devices take amazing images and video, I think the iPhone's cameras have a more consistent package, especially when it comes to dynamic range and low-light performance.

**Performance: A16 Bionic Chip vs Exynos 2200**

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is powered by Apple's A16 Bionic chip, while the S22 Ultra is powered by either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the Samsung Exynos 2200. In my experience, both devices are amazing and have handled everything I've thrown at them. However, the A16 Bionic chip provides a slight edge due to being newer than the Exynos 2200. Additionally, performance will also come down to software, as we have iOS versus Android. While there's no debate between these two operating systems, it ultimately comes down to which ecosystem you prefer and want to get into.

**Speakers: Stereo Speakers on Both Devices**

Both devices have stereo speakers, with one speaker in the earpiece and one bottom firing. And both sound really good to me. However, I am not an audio expert, so my opinion may vary from yours. My buddy Thunder E (from SuperSafStyle) has tested these speakers extensively, and he can provide more detailed feedback if you're interested.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Samsung S22 Ultra and Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max are both powerful devices that offer excellent cameras, performance, and features. While there's no clear winner in most categories, I think the iPhone 14 Pro Max excels in photography and videography due to its consistent package and better low-light performance. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference, so I encourage you to do your own research and choose the device that best fits your needs.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- The iPhone 14 Pro Max is here.It's the best that we have from Apple.How does it compareto one of the best Androidsmartphones of 2022,the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra?What's up, guys?It's Saf, here on SuperSaf TV.And that's exactly whatwe're going to be finding outin this video by comparingall of the key differencesof these devices, sideby side, SuperSafStyle.Let's initially start offwith the build and design.So overall, both are very premiumand both are very good looking deviceswith this matte finish acrossall of the different colors.The iPhone is available in four colors,a gold, a silver a space black,as well as this deep purple,which I am really liking.The S22 Ultra is also availablein four official colors.We've got a white, black, green,which we have here,as well as a burgundy.However, there are someadditional exclusive colorsyou can get directly from samsung.com.There's a graphite, a sky blue, and a red.And if you do want to get those colors,you can use my affiliate linkdown in the description below,which will also give you some credit,shameless plug there.Now, for the build,the S22 Ultra has an aluminum frame,the iPhone has a stainless steel frame.So stainless steel,a little bit more premium.But in terms of the glass,we've got Gorilla GlassVictus Plus on the S22 Ultra.The iPhone has ceramicshields on the front,and what's Apple called the toughest glasson any smartphone at the back.Now, I'm not somebody who'sgoing to do any drop tests.In my experience,both of these are verypremium and very durable.Both devices are alsowater and dust resistant,we've got an IP68 rating.However, you can submerge the iPhonein water deeper compared to the S22 Ultra.You can do it up to sixmeters versus 1.5 meters.Now, I'm not sure how usefulthat's going to be to youif you're taking your device for a swim,but, hey, good to know.Now, with the iPhone 14 Pro Max,it looks pretty much the sameas the iPhone 13 Pro Max,so you're not really gettingmuch of a design upgrade,shall we say.The S22 Ultra looks quite a bit differentcompared to the S21 Ultra,so it is a bit more refreshed.We've got flat sides onthe iPhone 14 Pro Max,which I really do likebecause it means I canprop this up on a tablewithout having to put anything behind it.The S22 Ultra has symmetrical curved sidesthat go from the back to the front.And even though the S22Ultra is slightly largerin terms of the height,the width, and the thickness,it doesn't really feel any bigger.And that's also thanks to the factthat it weighs slightly lesscompared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.And that brings usnicely onto the displays.We have beautifuldisplays on both devices.The S22 Ultra does havea slightly larger 6.8-inch displayversus the 6.7 inch display on the iPhone.Both displays are using OLED technology,so colors are very vibrant.They're both very bright as well,and also very sharp.Now, the S22 Ultra is a tad sharper,it's not something thatyou're going to noticemuch in your day-to-day,but the iPhone is actually now brightercompared to the S22 Ultra,which is something thatI wasn't expecting.We've got a peak brightnessof 2,000 nits outdoors,which makes this the brightest displayon any smartphone out right now.Now, that might not be a huge dealfor a lot of people,it is a big plus for me,because I'm always wearing these,and especially when it'sa sunny day outdoors,it really makes a difference.And we have an adaptive refresh rateon both devices up to 120 Hertz,making everything really smooth,but both are using LTPO technology,which means that theycan go all the way downto one Hertz,which is going to makethem more efficient.As well as that,it means that both canhave Always On displays.Yes, the iPhone finallyhast an Always On display.If you've been watchingme here on the channel,you'll know that I've been complainingabout this for many, many years.Now, it's finally here,and it's quite differentto the S22 Ultra .So with the S22 Ultra,I do quite like it.You get little icons for notifications,and you can see whichapps those have come from.And you do have some customization,you can choose amongst lotsof different clock styles,and you can also specify when you wantthe Always On display to come on and off.On the iPhone,you can pretty much switch theAlways On display on or off.You can't specify times.It's going to workthings out automatically.When you're sleeping,it's going to turn off by itself.If it's in your pocket,it's going to know it's in your pocket,and it's going to switch off.And it does offer a lot of customization,and that's because it'sessentially your lock screen,just dimmed down.So including yourwallpaper will be displayedon the full Always On,whereas on the S22 Ultra,if you don't want to have an image,it's just going to takeup a small section.So both of these haveadvantages and disadvantages.Personally speaking, I do like them both.Now, looking at the screen to body ratio,we do have a higher screen to body ratioon the S22 Ultra,because we do haveslightly smaller bezels,as well as a very small punch out.Now, on the iPhone 14 Pro Max,the bezels are slightly smallercompared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.And finally, we no longer have a notch,we have what's Apple arecalling a Dynamic Island,which is this pill-shapedcutout here in the middle.Now, this does take up more spacecompared to the small punchouts on the S22 Ultra,however, it does bring inlots of new functionality.I've covered this in previous videos,but essentially, you're going to be ableto have music playing here at the top,which you can then long-press an action,or you can have some shortcuts on here.You can have a separatebubble displaying a stopwatch,or if you're on a call.And overall, I am quiteliking this Dynamic Island,because it's a different implementationwhich we haven't really seen before.So overall, excellentdisplays on both devices,some of the best out there in the market.I don't think you cango wrong with either.Traditionally, it's beenan easy win for the Samsungbecause the iPhone hasgenerally not been as bright,and it's had that notch,but Apple has really steppedup the display game this year,and I can safely say that this time,it is definitely a draw.Now, one of the reasons why we havethis larger pill-shapedcutout on the iPhoneis because of Face ID.So Face ID is still here,and it works as expected,it's very fast.It also now works with mask,which it didn't do previously,and it's something that I wasfeeding back for a long time.The S22 Ultra has an underdisplay fingerprint scanner.It's an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner,which in my opinion,is the best under displayfingerprint scanneron a mainstream flagship.And realistically speaking,you can't go wrong with either.Both of these work really, really well.Traditionally, I usedto favor the S22 Ultrafor the fingerprint scannerbecause I used to haveissues when wearing a maskwith Face ID,but now that Apple have updated this,it's not too much of an issue.Right, next up, let'stalk about the cameras.Boo, sorry, sorry, man.Before I remind you to subscribe,I just wanted you to let you knowthat we've actually done aSuperSafStyle camera comparisonbetween the iPhone 14 ProMax and the S22 Ultra.You can check it out afteryou've watched this video,and also after your subscribeand hit that bell icon.Yeah, that's it from me, sorry.You heard the man.If you haven't already,do consider subscribing ifyou're enjoying the video.Right, as SideSaf mentioned,if you do want the full breakdown,it's 20 minutes long.You can check out that camera comparison.But to give you a brief summary,we do have an ultra wide camera on both,a primary sensor,which is now a largersize sensor on the iPhone,as well as a three times telephoto camera.The S22 Ultra does havean additional periscope zoom camera,which will give you upto 10 times optical zoom.And generally speaking,I think you can't go wrongwith either of these cameras.They both take amazing images and video.With the S22 Ultra,you do get that versatility of focal lens,and that zoom is, I would say,one of the best out there.You also get a better ultrawide camera, in my opinion,with better dynamic range,and you get the best edge detectionthat I've tested on any smartphone.With the iPhone,I think you get an overallmore consistent package.With better low light performance,especially in the video.And the iPhone, once again,is still king in videowith great dynamic range,exceptional stabilization,especially with the new action mode,and a very usable cinematic video mode,where it's going to blur the background.I was actually really impressed with this.So once again, excellentcameras overall on both devices.I wouldn't have a problempicking up either of these.You can check out theSuperSafStyle camera comparisonif you want more details,but, I know a lot of youguys are going to ask me,which one of these would I pick upfor an overall camerapackage for photos, videos,all of the different features?And for me, personally,it would be the iPhone 14 Pro Max.You happy?Right, now, let's moveon to the performance.The iPhone 14 Pro Max is poweredby Apple's A16 Bionic chip,the S22 Ultra is going to be poweredby either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1or the Samsung Exynos 2200depending on your region.You do get more RAM on the S22 Ultra,and in my experience,both of these are amazing,they've got no issues whatsoever,have handled everythingthat I've thrown at them.Now, I'm not somebodywho's going to go detailedinto benchmarks andlooking at frame rates,and things like that.I would say that the iPhone 14 Pro Maxwill get a bit of an edgebecause it does have a newer chipset.The S22 Ultra has the 8 Gen 1,which came out earlier.We do now have the 8+ Gen1 on many other devices.And performance will alsocome down to the software.And of course we have iOS versus Android.I don't go into debates between these two,and it's come to a pointwhere you really can'tgo wrong with either OS.I think it's going to come downto which ecosystem youprefer and want to get into.Obviously, with the iPhone,you're going to have things like iMessage,AirDrop, and I do likesome of the new featuresthat have come with iOS 16,such as the remove background feature.On the S22 Ultra,it's actually tied in really wellwith the Samsung ecosystem.So if you do have other Samsung devices,you'll also enjoy that experience.Once again, I think this isgoing to definitely come downto personal preference.I know a lot of youhate it when I say that,but that is literally the case.Now, looking at the speakers,we've got stereo speakers on both devices.There's one speaker in the earpieceand one bottom firing.And both actually soundreally, really good to me.Now, I am no audio fellow,but my buddy Thunder Efrom \"BooredAtWork\" is,and he's actually donea detailed speaker test.I don't want to spoil it too much,but I think the edge does overallgo to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.Let's now talk about someof the additional featuresthat you're going to get on both devices,which you're not reallygoing to find on many others.So with the S22 Ultra, you, of course,have the S Pen,which is now enclosed within the device.The Samsung Galaxy S seriestraditionally has not had an S Pen,although on the S21 series,you could buy it separately.They seem to have mergedthe Note with the S series,and we've got the S22 Ultra.I'm personally a big fan of the S Pen.I love it for just some quick doodling,some photo editing,or if you want to sign a documentwhen you're out and about.I don't use it all the time,but when I do use it,it is so useful to have.You've got a 2.8 millisecond latency,which makes this very, very smooth,and it's such a unique experiencewhich I do appreciate.The S22 Ultra also has DeX support.So you'll be able towirelessly connect thisto a display.Use your S22 Ultra as a trackpad,and get a desktop experience.Now, the iPhone has someunique features of its own.We now have Crash Detection,so in the unfortunate eventwhere you are in a car crash,the iPhone has sensors,which will detect this,and if you don't respond,it can actually contact emergency serviceson your behalf,which is really, really useful.It also has emergency SOS via satellite.So if you are in the middle of nowhere,you've got no reception,and you need to contactemergency services,it's going to be able to show youwhere the satellites are,connect to them,and send those emergency messages.Now, initially, it's onlygoing to be availablein the US and Canada,hopefully should be comingto other areas soon,and it's going to beincluded for two years.After which, I believe there's going to besome sort of subscription model.Now, I have to mentionthat we have different ports on these.The S22 Ultra has themore universal USB Type-C,the iPhone 14 Pro Max stillhas a lightning cable,which I'm not too happy about.I mean, a lot of other Apple devicessuch as the iPads and the MacBookall use the USB Type-C universal port.And it's so annoying when I have to carrya lightning cable when I am traveling.So USB Type-C is definitely the way,and I believe Apple may beforced to use USB Type-Cby Europe very, very soon.We'll see next year,however they say it is still lightning.Now, if you are based in the US,you will no longer havea physical SIM card trayfor the iPhone,you will be having to use eSIM only.It's a pretty straightforward process,but it's something thatyou'll have to get used to.You do have a physical SIMcard tray on the S22 Ultra.Right, now, let's talk aboutbatteries and charging.So the S22 Ultra does havea larger physical battery,but, of course,it's not all about size,depending on the context.And in this context,the iPhone does have betterbattery life in my experience.I'd say I'm getting aroundabout 20% better battery lifeon the iPhone 14 Pro Maxversus the S22 Ultra .Now, for charging, the S22Ultra does get the advantage,although neither ofthese come with a chargerout of the box.It does support faster chargingup to 45 watts versus 20 watts.So on the S22 Ultra,you can get a 50% chargein around 20 minutes,whereas on the iPhone 14 Pro Max,that's going to be morelike around 30 minutes.Now, both of these dosupport wireless charging.You have up to 15 wattsof wireless chargingon the S22 Ultra.On the iPhone 14 Pro Max,you've got 7.5 watts using astandard Qi wireless charger.But if you do want to use Apple'sproprietary MagSafe charger,you can get up to 15 watts.I do like MagSafe,it just snaps on to the back,and you don't have to have a situationwhere you've not placed your smartphoneon a wireless charger correctly.But then again, it is proprietary,it's not just your standard,which I do prefer.The S22 Ultra also doeshave Wireless PowerShare,so you'll be able tocharge things like earbudson the back of the S22 Ultra.And it's not something thatI have used much at all,but it might be useful in some situations.Right, finally, let's lookat the storage versions and pricing.So both of these are availablein the same storage variants,128, 256, 512 gigabytes,as well as a massive one terabyte version.Now, if you do look at launchprices of the S22 Ultra,it is priced higher in theUS compared to the iPhone,but lower in the UKcompared to the iPhone.Apple have increased theprice for the new iPhone 14quite a bit in the UK and other regions.And I'm not sure why this is,but it is a little bit unfortunate for usliving here in the UK.And with the S22 Ultra,because it has been outfor a few months now,you can actually get it lowerthan what it initially came out for.I've seen it for aroundabout 900 to 8,000 poundsdepending on where you get it.And Samsung also are offeringlots of really good trading deals,as well as additional creditusing my affiliate linkdown in the description.You don't have to useit if you don't want to,but if you are going to get an S22 Ultra,you may as well.So overall, you will bepaying less in most regionsfor the S22 Ultra,and now that it is a few months oldcompared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.And that is the detailed comparisonbetween the iPhone 14 Pro Maxand the Samsung GalaxyS22 Ultra, SuperSafStyle.Personally speaking, I like both devices.I think they've both got theiradvantages and disadvantages.But it's never been closer.I love to see this competition,and I'm personally going to beusing both of these devices.One of my SIM is goingto go in the S22 Ultraand the other is going to gointo the iPhone 14 Pro Max.That's what I think anyway.What do you guys think?Which one of these would you pick?Do let me know down in the comments below.There's going to be lotsmore iPhone 14 coveragehere on the channel.If you don't want to miss it,then be sure to subscribeand hit that bell
