            Had both for few days, did some tests, for landscape, nightshots, street still with non moving objects photography then samsung is better, but for people outdoor and indoor shots, fast moving things, then iphone 14 pro max won 99% of the time, color accuracy of skin tones alyways better on iphone, its more rounded and more reliable camera for my needs, wish I could transfer it to samsung then I would pick samsung, but now I end up with iphone. Those two phones are too different to call better and worse, its more about matter of preference.

              Article says you prefer S23 speaker, summary says iPhone has better speaker. Make up your mind 😄

                Mine Oppo Reno8 Pro 5G wins from these both... many aspects..

                  These comparisons will get very interesting in the flagship killers and midrangers segments, as I'm of the opinion that most flagships comparisond like these are essentially useless to the regular user.

                    Feem, 03 Apr 2023Greed-wise they’re as bad as each other, but the OS is what... moreiPhones will be miles better this year. 14 Pro Max is one off year for Apple. They will bounce back this year. In still photos they will still lack compared to Oppo Find X6 Pro/Vivo X90 Pro Plus and Xiaomi 13 Ultra. But rest of things will be top notch with 15 Pro Max.

                      Anonymous, 03 Apr 2023Weird that it takes 30 minutes to get 48% of battery and th... moreCharging so much and not giving fast charging abilities is just ridiculous. Also not giving charger in the box is ridiculous. Within two years, Samsung will loose it's shine from world market. Updates isn't everything. Value for money is everything and Samsung isn't value for money proposition.

                        Definitely interesting.
                        However I would personally will find more value in more diverse comparison.
                        I.e. underdog Vs flagman
                        Last year flagman Vs this year flagman or top midranger.
                        Especially last or two year old flagman Vs current stage phone would be interesting from you who handled them both and potentially can make a bit of testing if you still have the "old" phones around.
                        It would be very interesting and probably useful for a lot of people on the "budget".

                          Anonymous, 03 Apr 2023No. It is S23U vs 15 Pro Max. Excuse just because s... moreNo, that is not correct.

                          1) iPhone 15 Pro Max is of a different generation to S23 Ultra. S24 Ultra is part of that one's generation.
                          2) There is more time between the launch of S23 and iPhone 15 (8 months) than there is between launch of iPhone 14 and S23 (5 months).

                          This is as fair of a comparison as it can get. How you are proposing would put Samsung at a disadvantage. It's okay to admit a product is better than another in the same generation (S23U vs iP14)

                            my opinion about this article is that i would mostly expect a comparison between iphone 14 Pro Max vs Pixel 7 Pro as for me these two are the best overall flagships available at the moment and one competes the other.
                            I am sure though Samsung s23 ultra has many reasons to be mentioned as it has better hardware, global availability, better zoom camera etc. but my interest for it is as low as it is for Xiaomi and Vivo.

                              UltraHD, 03 Apr 2023Noup, that's not how it works. Sorry that your iPhone ... moreIt's not about the best, it's about offering the more choice to customer 👍

                              Some prefer iOS, some Android and some are guided by green bubble apparently 🙃

                                Anonymous, 03 Apr 20232022 phone vs 2023 phone. So fair ... The most recent generations of both phones. Everything is all right and if you can't deal with it, your fault only.

                                  I choose the S23U for mainly 2 thing; 10x and Android. iPhone can't be here but when they implement UDC then we'll talk again 😎

                                  Or bring back TouchID perhaps, in the Apple logo on the back ? 😁

                                  Great article!

                                    The review says that S23 Ultra is better-sounding but in verdict, it is written that iPhone 14 Pro Max has "The better speaker quality".
                                    Correct it.

                                      This article is amazing 👍
