Looking for the ultimate comparison between the two most sought-after flagship phones? Look no further! In this article, we’ll be comparing the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. As an iPhone user for years, I’ve been daily driving the iPhone 14 Pro Max since its launch. However, for the last two months, I’ve also been using the Galaxy S23 Ultra side by side, so I took my time to get to know the S23 Ultra better.

Price Comparison: While both of these phones cost pretty much the same in the US, it’s an entirely different story in South Asian markets. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is considerably more expensive, making Samsung a more appealing choice for those looking for a more budget-friendly option. However, iPhones do have a better resale value compared to Samsung.

Design Comparison: Samsung has copied iPhone’s philosophy of not needlessly switching the design year after year. With a quick glance, you can easily tell that this is a Samsung phone. Both phones are well-built and premium, but the S23 Ultra is more comfortable to hold due to its better weight distribution.

Durability Comparison: The iPhone 14 Pro Max gets ceramic shield on the display and glass protection at the back, whereas Samsung has used the latest Gorilla Glass Victor stew on both sides. Looking at the phone buff test, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has marginally better durability this time around. Both these flagships are IP68 dust and water-resistant.

Display Comparison: Both phones have some of the best displays that you can get on a 2023 smartphone. From a smooth 120 hertz refresh rate to high brightness levels, sharp resolution, and LTPS technology for dynamically adjusting the refresh rate. The video watching experience on the Galaxy S23 Ultra feels slightly better as Samsung lets you choose between a couple of color profiles, making the colors look more pleasing to the eyes. The S23 Ultra’s tiny non-up exclusive camera cutout also adds to an immersive viewing experience. The iPhone 14 Pro Max outdoes the S23 Ultra in terms of brightness and can play Dolby Vision mastered content.

Speaker and Audio Comparison: The way these phone speakers are tuned is wildly different. The iPhone produces nice mids and high frequencies, which sound great when listening to acoustic and classical songs. On the other hand, the S23 Ultra is more about letting you enjoy a wider sound stage with emphasis on spatial whiteness, and its bass response is stronger. Both phones have distinct haptics, with the iPhone’s vibration feedback being super strong for incoming calls, and the S23 Ultra’s haptics being enjoyable when interacting.

In conclusion, both phones are great, but Samsung has addressed many of the complaints from last year’s S22 Ultra, making it a strong competitor to the latest iPhone. Samsung is an excellent choice for those looking for a more budget-friendly option. However, if you are looking for a better resale value, the iPhone is your go-to. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what you are looking for in a phone.
