I’m happy with my 14 pro max 💁🏻♂️

You can tell this chick is a huge iPhone sheep lover 😂
It's not fair on Samsung comparing the iPhone to the Samsung, the iPhone is in a league of it's own, always has been and always will be!
Compare Apples with Apples and stop picking on Samsung by putting it up against the iPhone
There are S23 with 256gb and 12gb ram. Not all base are 8gb ram.
I think I have to be wait for S24Ultra
S22–> S23 🚫🚫❌❌
S22 –> S24 ✔ ✔ ✅✅
Face it, the only phone people are waiting to buy this year is the insane A17 Bionic all-new iPhone 15 Pro Max. This just makes you feel even more sorry for Samsung’s same-looking hyped S23 Ultra. 💯😁
The host is very cute 😏🔥
The iphone 14 pro max is the truly trash smartphone everyone has hated so much to that trash phone🤮🤢
Don't buy the s22 ultra it's garbage
I think both companies phones are over-priced with more features than the average person needs.
I'm happy w/ my Google 5, holding up fine after 2.5 years, purchased at a fraction of the price. 😁
I love S23 ultra
As a vlogger I got the s21ultra last year then upgraded to s22ultra n director's view is amazing for vlogging. I'm a Samsung customer from now innovation is diff
Who is this beautiful girl that presents? Thumbs up, i thought you have just weirdos there
The s23 design is trash so I'm switching from being a long time Samsung owner to apple.
I ordered the green one.
So bad review
I don't use either but the s23 by far not even close is the better phone. Even the s22 still better
S23 is a beast! Can't wait for it tomorrow 🥰
Samsung is also giving you a 512gb storage option for the price of the 256 with preorder
I see no reason to upgrade from the 22 ultra. Think I'm gonna look in to more gimmicky phones. Maybe rog strix has something cool to go along with my super computer
Only trading in my S21 Ultra because I can get the s23 Ultra for around 700 bucks with trade in and military pricing
Ngl when I'm able to I wish I could get both IPhone and samsung, 1 for work and one for every day use… I would get the S23 Ultra for work and the 14 Pro max for every day use. They're both soo good and even tho I have an S20 FE rn I wish it can happend one day
I managed to find 11 reasons to upgrade in my comparison
Possibly be upgrading to this from my Note 20 Ultra
Iphone has larger sensors in its camera lenses. Which I'd objectively better than more pixels. Consider infinix phones with 108mp main sensors
Samsung battery are not 5000mah, it's actually 4855mah and it doesn't last 1.5 day with every day usage…
That is really brave, create "vs" video, without any information about subject. Meh :/
Whats the latest on how long it will take to recharge the samsung galaxy s23 ultra
Little extra note. There is 4 extra exclusive colors for samsung s23 ultra
Sp s22 and s23 is the same -_-
Sticking with my s22 ultra for many more years
Design wise is very minimum but I will say it anyways, if you haven't noticed already, they are different in design [S22 vs S23], if you a casual, you will think they look identical without picking up the differences like the S23U having flat sides instead of round on S22U, S23U volume rocker and power button is lowered for better reach compared to S22U, slightly thinner bezels on S23U.
If you look at the sides, S23U is more flat and has less curve compared to the S22U That's more curved dripping down the sides of the phone.
S23U has the new gorilla glass victis 2 which is more durable than the victis 1+ on the S22U.
Internals:
S23U has the new UFS 4.0 storage for better transfer speeds compared to 3.1 on S22U, new ram on the S23U [DDR5x] compared to DDR4 on S22U.
Cameras, no need to go on that just know the sensors are upgraded even though they are the same specs except the 200 megapixels compared to 108 megapixels.
Battery life, Samsung claim it last longer than the S22U but by how much? This is due to the new processor the S23U has.
S23U has WiFi 7 instead of WiFi 6 on the S22U.
I always learn so much from these videos, Great comparison!
There's no question what's better. iPhone 14 pro is THE KING and no one will beat it, everything better and that's it. Apple king like always. At the moment there isn't ANY competition for Apple, they are eating every brand.
With the new pre-order promotion, you get to have 512 gb ones same price as 256 gb now. Just wished there were more vibrant color options.
it is more expensive than an iphone, what is wrong with samsung?!
That's one of the most boring comparison videos ever!
Wish y’all stop with these comparisons who ever on what platform by now that’s what they like and will always go to the phones they use to phones are too good to keep doing this each year don’t ya think.
I just got the 14 pro max but really wanted the s23 ultra ima wait until they make a massive upgrade, I’ll buy the folding phone next year when they upgrade it then next year after unless iPhone is crazy good I’ll buy the Samsung
Very very very very satisfied and happy with my s22 ultra snapdragon so far including the battery life. The only downside when compared with an Iphone may be the front camera, but thats not an issue when you compare the price difference. Nothing is fancy and fun than the S-pen, great screen and speakers. Easy to navigate and full of usefull specs. So I'm happy with my choice thats why I think the new s23 ultra will be a better one👍
I know that aint real…. aint no damn way
Literally looks the same as the s22 🤦♂️
I don't know how this phone works its alot bigger than the s22 ultra.
Everyone bashing android flagship meanwhile apple on the other hand 😅..
