2022 has been a very exciting year for tech enthusiasts. A lot of consumer electronics have been released this year. Introducing many new technologies, new designs and new software features. As of now, the demand for consumer electronics such as smartphones continues to grow. As a result, each manufacturer tries their best to be on top of the others.
Several years ago, the battle for leadership was always between SAMSUNG Hello. This is where the upper battle line is drawn. Yes, Huawei was almost in the middle, but due to the sanctions, they have had to leave the battlefield for now.
Now let’s get to the main thing very quickly. It should be a lot of fun, so read on. First, let’s start with the reasons why we use cell phones. Unlike in years past, cell phones now go beyond just calling and texting.
There are many things you can do with cell phones now. I won’t go into the struggle to list everything you can do with your smartphones. You probably already know most of them.
Why buy a smartphone?
The question of why people buy smartphones has always been one of the most important factors people consider before making a smartphone purchase decision. On the other hand, smartphone manufacturers are very aware of this question. So they build phones to serve every purpose as much as possible.
In a nutshell, all smartphones have reached the top of almost all the features a smartphone should have. So the question is not what the smartphone does what. The real question is which smartphone works best. This has led to a lot of smartphone comparisons everywhere. That question is the main reason for this article.
There is no doubt that the Samsung S22 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the biggest superpowers of 2022. In terms of popularity, build design, build quality, camera performance, over all device performance, just name it. These two devices are fully packaged to give you the best overall user experience.
But which is better? Which of them makes your life easier? Which of them gives you the most options to choose from? This is what the user experience is all about. And this is where Samsung overtakes Apple. I’ll go ahead and give you five good reasons why the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has the upper hand over the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Because Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is even better than iPhone 14 Pro Max
1. Charging Speed (Samsung VS iPhone):
Technology has grown very fast and continues to grow fast. So your shipping speed should be. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra perfectly positions the iPhone 14 Pro Max in this segment, thanks to its 45W charging capacity compared to the 27W iPhone 14 Pro Max.
In a charging test conducted by an Indian Youtuber, the iPhone 14 Pro Max finished 31 minutes behind the Samsung S22 Ultra. Samsung charged from 0 to 100 in 1 hour and 17 minutes. On the other hand, iPhone 14 Pro Max can reach 100% within 1 hour and 51 minutes. That’s about two hours of charging time.
2. Fingerprint scanner (Samsung VS iPhone):
Since Apple went full-screen, fingerprint scanners or, say, Touch ID have already become a problem for the iPhone. In 2021, it was recommended that the iPhone 13 series be equipped with a fingerprint scanner like other Android phones. But Apple had to cancel this feature due to technical problems. We all thought the iPhone 14 series would definitely have a fingerprint scanner this time around. But here we are, iPhones still lack this important feature. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S22 Ultra has the best and fastest under-display fingerprint scanner.
3. Multitasking (Samsung VS iPhone):
When it comes to multitasking, Samsung is at the forefront. In fact, iPhones have absolutely no multitasking features and I find that amazing. On the Samsung S22 Ultra, you can hide a floating widget on the side of the screen. Just swipe sideways to view it and launch the app you want. The app will open in a smaller window above the app you already have open.
To make your life easier, the S22 Ultra has a feature called Split Screen. This allows you to run two separate apps on the screen at the same time. One app is running simultaneously on the top half of the screen and the other on the bottom half of the screen. This is what multitasking should be like. Unfortunately, you cannot take advantage of this feature if you are an Apple user. You may have to wait a little longer (i.e. if Apple will bring it to iOS).
4. User interface customization (Samsung VS iPhone):
Recently, Apple released iOS 16 which includes some great customization features. After customizing your iPhone, the wallpaper looks really cool until you unlock the phone. (Welcome to the same old look.)
On Samsung, personalization is on a completely different level. Samsung has an app called Samsung Good Lock. It is an app developed by Samsung Inc and you can download it from the Galaxy Store if it is not pre-installed on your device. This app not only helps you customize the wallpaper, it also helps you customize every other corner of your phone to suit your style.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra gives you the opportunity to be the boss of your phone. If you get bored with the interface, you can always change it to something that suits your mood.
5. Reverse wireless charging (Samsung VS iPhone):
Samsung phones have this feature from the 2019 year of the Galaxy S10 series. Although the feature was first introduced by Huawei in the Mate 20 series, Samsung picked it up and used it in the S10. Not only Samsung, many other manufacturers have started using it. This makes me wonder what Apple is waiting for. It’s a very useful feature, especially when your wearables run out of power while you’re out and about. All you need to do is place your wireless charging-enabled device behind the phone to charge it.
At this point, it was reasonable for Apple to offer wireless charging in the iPhone 14 models, or at least the Pro models. But no, none of the new iPhone models had reverse wireless charging.
There’s more to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra on the iPhone 14 Pro Max
This list could go beyond just five. But these are the most important features that the Samsung S22 Ultra can boast of when it comes to comparing it to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Keep in mind that a feature like Samsung Desk isn’t even listed. This feature allows you to connect your Samsung phone to an external display and work on your phone just like a computer. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is equipped with an S-pen which makes it even easier to work on document files on your smartphone.
Don’t get me wrong, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is an excellent piece of hardware, with the best key features of the bunch. But comparing it to the Samsung S22 Ultra in productivity, customization and usability, Samsung easily outperforms the iPhone by a very large margin.
