From the comments I can see that everyone uses their phones differently, we all have different needs and requirements. For me the S21 Ultra at least gives you more customizable options, weather you take advantage of those options is up to you.

@@toptiertech7291 "comfort in hand" is very debatable? Have you ever hold an iPhone 13 Pro or Pro MAX in your hand for more than 2 minutes? The shiny stainless steel border or the iPhone 13 gets dirty real fast, is very easy to scratch and makes the iPhone 13 Pro MAX the heaviest flagship phone on the market and probably the thickest.
I've been on my S10+ since launch however I would have been interested in jumping into iPhones again IF the archaic lightning port was not present. It is currently my greatest barrier into switching.
Agree and the fact that the iPhone 13 Pro supports pro-res WITHOUT a USB-C port is just ridiculous. In practice, you can't even use the pro-res video if you wanted because it will take hours to load the data off the phone via Lightning. That said, the software longevity of Apple/iOS is why I still use an iPhone. Samsung gave me the worst smartphone experience I've ever had with the S7 Edge. If the phone doesn't lag balls after 3 years, you are lucky af.
@@LuKiSCraft I have to say, I have been doing quite well with the S10+ with it approaching 3 years of heavy usage now, I think that chipsets are getting to the point that they have enough power to not show considerable slowdown over time - but yes, one of the biggest reasons why I am keen to switch is because of the prolonged support that iOS has been showing for their devices. I have a 2018 iPad Pro that I know that I will be happy using for several more years and I would be able to justify the purchase of a £1000+ phone if it would be something that lasted me for 5+ years if I so chose.

@@Scotkruz i went from Samsung back to Apple in 2019 but the 3 years I had Samsung phones, they were fine. I never dealt with all that. But I will say, Apple is top notch with customer service
Another great video, thanks! However, as someone who uses both phones everyday (Android for personal use & iPhone for work) I'd have to say while they're both great, the Samsung and most Android phones are much better to use. The customization, android software/google ecosystem support, screen, everyday speed advantage over iPhone, etc. iPhones are good for what they do but they're soooo limited, they still can't don't offer an always on display, split screen support, or even true live wallpaper support.
The Galaxy phones have signal issues outside of the the USA. I was just on Central America and my note 20 ultra had signal issues as my wife's iPhone 13 was good. I know here in the US samsung has better connections
Just ordered the s21 ultra, upgrading from my 11 pro max. First android i’ve had since the galaxy note 3, after having 6s plus, X and 11 I felt like a change and dont think i’ll regret it. Especially with the 13 pro max having a minimum 4 weeks waiting list seems like fate telling me to get the s21
Although i am sort of an apple fanboy, I really do love the Samsung. Really the only thing that is stopping me from getting one is having to switch operating systems and learn a new phone again. I also love imessage. But there are a lot of times that i regret not getting a Samsung .
Thanks for great video. Both phones are great . The only major downside for Samsung is low re-sell value after one year of use. I would gladly pick Pro Max if it was narrower and easier to hold. Will consider upgrading to regular 13 Pro.
The resale issue is true. However, I don't worry about that because when I upgrade I do it through Samsung and not only do I get TOP dollar....I end up getting 2-3 NEW items FREE. apple trade in program is NOT nearly as good regardless of how much you paid for the phone. Trust me....I have experienced it. For example when I traded my Note20 Ultra for the S21 Ultra with Samsung...I got 900.00 for the phone plus FREE Galaxy pro buds(which sounds better than the Airpods pro), Free You Tube premium , and a FREE wireless charger. Apple will NEVER give you 900.00 on trade in for a phone. NO way! You are better off to sell your iphone on Craigslist or something. So in that case Samsung wins! You don't have to go through the hassle of trying to sell your phone.
Whats funny about the Samsungs being worth less after a year of use, is that they typically perform better at a year old vs a year old iPhone. One of my largest complaints about my iPhone was that after time it just seemed to perform worse and worse as it got older. I've had my s10+ since it came out and it still works like the day I got it. (Minus the battery, as all phones do the battery life has gotten a little worse over time). But any iPhone I've ever had is almost unusable after about 2yrs.
@@hermanjackson6429 I am not sure how to comment on why your iPhone is just unusable after 2 yrs. If that was really the case used iPhone 8,9,10 would not have resale value of more than 250$ after 5-6 years of release. I have been using my 11 pro max this is my 3rd yr and sure it has slowed down a bit but nowhere close to unusable. It’s still snappy and works great. Your case maybe unique I am not sure.
I just upgraded to the 13 Pro, and I LOVE it! Excellent battery, I love the display, and how quick it is. But, like a lot of things these days, is highly subjective. I have also owned Androids for years, and I love them. Both are great devices, and it just really comes down to preference. I prefer Apple’s ecosystem, and how well devices work with each other across the ecosystem, but if I wasn’t, I’d probably re-consider Samsung. Both Android and iOS are excellent, polished, and refined systems, and they’re so comparable on so many levels in terms of hardware and software that, to me, it’s a wash between the two. Technology is simply amazing. The amount of power and access we have to information these days is incredible. Get either one, and be happy with it. No need to bash the other because you chose one. 😊
Very nice, objective review. Great visuals, great narration and sound quality. Both of these phones are ridiculously expensive, but it is nice to know (I suppose) that they both deliver something special for that outrageous price tag. Don't be surprised if Apple goes all-MagSafe and does away with the Lightning port altogether. That may sound crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if MagSafe incorporates data traffic (they already do with the M1 iMac with Ethernet port embedded in MagSafe). But that's probably not going to materialize for another one to three years, according to rumors. I'd be happier with USB-C or even Thunderbolt, but Apple would probably never do that. The Galaxy S21 UItra is an impressive phone. Too bad each phone is locked into its own technology ecosystem. Either way, you're forced to compromise. That's mobile technology in the early 21st century for you.
I want to emphasize that I have automobile silicone finish on my S21 and I had it on my S8. Without the silicone finish my S21 appeared to have a factory blemish on the glass especially when held at an angle. The silicone finish on my S8 looked fantastic like a really special device. Today holding my S21 I see it as beautiful thanks for the most part that I have silicone wax on it!
Switched to SS ecosystem a year or two ago. Then switched back after iPhone decided to change to boxy design. TBH I have a few things I’ve missed after switching but I am too accustomed to Apple ecosystem. What I probably would love on iPhone is the pen support / zoom further / freely place widgets+AOD (the necessity is in order from really need to not too hopeful😅)
@@greatt7909 ye was just messing haha. I get it. You like what you like. I tested out the 13 Pro Max for a little but but it's still definitely no way near enough for me to switch to ios as my main device. Haven't used iPhone as my primary device since the 6S! I wouldn't mind doing it, but many things would need to change before I did!
You can zoom further in the iPhone: after recording the video, just open the footage and zoom in with your fingers- this literally what Samsung phones do just they do it while recording
I had a bad experience on the iPhone 4s, I have been a Samsung fan for years, but after setting up the iPhone 13 for my partner I liked the feel of it. It feels smoother so I have jumped over to give the iPhone 13 Pro a chance.
I’m honestly try own between which one to get. I know each have their advantage to each other. The main thing that makes me loyal to the iPhone since I’m still using a two or three generation old MacBook and I’m not upgrading my laptop anytime soon; but the refresh rates, camera, & customization of the Samsung vs Apple. The few puzzle games I play don’t require too much speed & graphics.
The biggest problem I have with Apple product is they intentionally slow down the products on older products. After software updates on my MacBook Pro and older gen iPad, it’s almost unusable due to slow speed.
After several hundred charde/discharge cycles ALL batteries lose their ability to hold a charge and lose amperage. It's the nature of batteries. Fast charging is actually NOT good for your battery. Slow charge is always the best way to charge any battery IF you have time to do so. Fast charging kills the battery cells much much faster, thus causing earlier battery degradation.
@SouthCentral_Kid Every phone battery will degrade after time, the iphone will degrade aswell after some months. But they artificially downlevel the CPU performance which Samsung doesnt
This may be true, but to be fair Samsung (most androids in general) just slow down and become unusable after a few years on their own anyway. It’s all the same junk. You just pick what junk you like better.
I've had this iphone 13 pro max for a days weeks and I love it. Watching you test it really makes me feel like I made the right choice. The phone feels really solid and now I know it really is. I got mine for an affordable price. Not up to that amount though...you can also orders yours from where i got mine
You should have definitely tested the 100X space zoom on the S21U. I took a few moon pictures on mine and the zoom level is literally out of this world.

Been using and loving the S21 Ultra since launch. But if Apple goes with titanium band and a thicker phone to make the cameras more flush with the body and add USB-C, it will be hard not to switch back to ios next year.
@CGGS_Gaming they're gonna redesign it one way or another, if it's to make it a bit thicker, with an even better battery life and more flush cameras, it'll be a hit and a half
@CGGS_Gaming Nope. Apple will go completely portless with the iPhone 13 as legislation in the European Union has stated that all smartphones from 2023 onwards will have to use a standard port, and that would mean iPhones would have to have USB C like Android phones which Apple would never want.
the galaxy can get up to 1700 nits but only under direct sunlight. idk why samsung does this, but in all of its recent phones from the flagships right down to the A series, the maximum brightness will only toggle on under direct sunlight.
Well I’ve just got the 13 pro I came from android. I was loving it until my phone wouldn’t let me move my apps I contacted apple who said I would have to back up my phone however to do that I would have to pay for storage which I refused. Apple then told me to take the phone back to Argos who are now out of stock of the phone. I’m gutted as I thought apple had the best customer service.
If you can afford +1000 euro phone, I assume you can afford subscription for storage it’s literally one euro per month, you can move all your stuff and then cancel it if you don’t need it.
@Pawel K I don’t own a PC I have a chrome book ps5 and Xbox series x. It’s fine I went for the 50gb that’s plenty. I’m unhappy about the service but love the phone .
I bought an unlocked iPhone 13 ProMAX 256GB and some accessories mainly 2 OtterBox cases one with magsafe capability for the battery pack and the other a fancier leather case. I've used nothing but Android smartphones and this is going to be my first Apple phone so I'm pretty excited about it.
Ok so compare the zfold 3 to the iPhone 13 pro max….o wait the fold is $1900 and didn’t even use the s21 ultra camera 🤣. I waited for years for a folder and each time they just price me way out the ballpark. I can buy a new pro max and an iPad for the price of the newest Samsung. Remember back when people said how cheap they were compared ? Not anymore
I have been using samsung phones since samsung 5. Now I got iphone 13. And I clearly see differences. First when you start your iPhone there's no Junkware preinstalled Junkware samsung doesn't let you remove easily. To make my s20 plus useful I had to spend around week to remove and tweak android os to remove all that junk. Ios on my iPhone I easily removed what I didn't want and phone just works. The only advantage my s20 plus has over my iPhone 13 is that I can install any app on my android phone I want. While apple won't let you do that. In real life I use phone for 10 hours a day for work. Since samsung s7 edge screens on my Samsung lasted for year before I was seeing ghost image. That's probably biggest reason I shifted to iphone.
Really on the fence here. Been Samsung for years. Changed to iPhone 12 Pro Max last year. Miss so many features but the face unlock is a major plus for me. Might upgrade to the iPhone 13 pro, just waiting to see what google has to offer on the 19th.
@@dianeharrison4975 Samsung does offer a lot more. But I’m in the Apple ecosystem now & everything works really well together. From the watch to the laptops etc. Just ordered the iPhone 13 pro max. 6 week waiting list.

S21 is having major mobile network issues, seems to be either from One UI update or issue with the actual antenna. Alot of people are experiencing issues and have been for a couple months. Samsung support says they cannot do anything but suggest sending in device. They need to be recalled.
@@mardochejulien9840 Yes because Samsung makes 2 phones a year. Theres only been 1 note and 1 s series phone with adaptive refresh rate. So apple isn't really that late
iPhone sells like 200million units a year....compared to around 30million units for 120hz adaptive refresh rate of Samsung flagship....most other 120hz brands are not adaptive and those adapt only sells like hundreds of thousands a year. It's hard to manufacture in scale, only now that Samsung can supply that huge to Apple for adaptive LTPO 120hz panel without sacrificing quality.
@@Ajokeiguess the iPhone gets old after a while I own the I phone 12 and note 20 ultra both are good phones but the note holds the edge you get more bang for you buck
In this time i'd say wait for the S22 ultra or better for pixel 6 pro in the upcoming weeks if u plan to upgrade. Nothing bad with either choices if u want the best for "photography", if not then pick the 13 pro/max once u get a good deal.
They are both 2021 phones so not sure why it is a generation old! The Flip and Fold just released have the same hardware *SD888*, are they a gen old despite being release within a few weeks! That is nonsense, the S22U will be the same gen as the iPhone 14!
I had the 13 pro max but if youve been to apple ecosystem for long time you might get to the point that you might try new one thats why i bought s21 ultra.
DisplayMate made the iPhone display the best they have ever seen, ahead of the S21U. You of course may be talking about aesthetics rather than quality, but that is superficial and subjective. Better camera, we await the pro verdicts, but I suspect in videography the iPhone is better and Samsung wins in ultra-wide and zoom, but the most important, the main lens, they are pretty close. Not sure about more features, maybe stuff that I do not care for, the iPhone has things that I much prefer?
@@andyH_England Are you seriously comparing Iphones 2532 x 1170 460 ppi display to samsungs 3200 x 1400 WQHD+ 120Hz 515 ppi ? More features that you dont care about ? 8k filming ? Dual recording ? S pen (S pen pro soon to be announced) ? Samung Dex ? Faster charging time ? first phone to have the fastest wifi 6E ? and plenty more. We all agree Iphones processor is out of this world, but did you ever realize you've been holding the same phone for the past 4,5 years lmao. Other companies are already implementing advanced features and apple still busy enhancing existing features for 5 years and charging 1000$ + for it. I'd rather pay my money to a company that actually works on adding new features and surprises me every year with new unexpected additions. Not to forget to mention the ecosystem that Samsung is working on and is already fucking amazing.
@@chrischiha2750 Science says 300PPI is enough for smartphones for those that have 20:20 vision, so 500PPI is really for bragging rights and that is why most flagship phones now have returned to 1080p including the expensive s21+. If it makes you have to waste battery and power on PPI you simply cannot see unless you pixel peep then that is sad. I have six year old iPhones still going fine, passed I think the family or used for certain features (navigation, hotspot, games, etc) so yes having six years support and a very powerful chip is a big advantage and do not tell me you would not want the power and efficiency of the A15 in the next Samsung! The Apple ecosystem i already here and leaves Samsung in the dust. Glad to see Samsung moving in the right direction but Apple is the clear winner here!
The price difference is enormous. People keep comparing the original prices, but the S21 Ultra's prices have dropped a lot now, sometimes you can get it for over *$500* less than the 13 pro max!
Samsung s21 ultra is still best even today 2023. I can still use it as my desktop and can always connect to an xbox controller while playing on a big screen. Its truly a versatile phone. It is ap hone, a camera, a desktop, a video gaming device which can always connect to an xbox controller. iphone is just a phone and a camera
Great review. Thank you. I'm leaning towards the iphone, but that extra strong telephoto lens capability of the Samsung, not just 3x but also 10x (And did I hear you say something about 30x?), that is so tempting. The real estate of the Samsung screen seems to be maximized better, right up closer to the edge, but somehow the Apple still looks wider, can you tell me which actually has the wider usable/viewing screen? IOther things equal, I'd rather have slightly wider than slightly taller). Lastly, I don't like the smudgy sides of the iphone, but the graphite does seem to hide any smudges better, do you think? And I've never used a case b/c they always seem too thick, though I've never had a high end phone either, but a case on the iphone would hide the smudgy sides, are the cases pretty thin, or do they really make the iphone noticeably more bulky? I would greatly appreciate any insights on the above. Either way, thanks again for a great review, very useful! Thumbs up!
Higher resale value because: 1) apple brings foot traffic, like selling second hand rolex, not actual profitable sales... ask any retail buyer or planner. Resale value depends on popularity, not quality of product or initial sale price... 2) the 13 is brand new... anyone buying a resold model is buying from an unhappy customer or scalper... both reasons tell you its not a good buy.

Always been an android user but at present using a iPhone XS Max that has been given to me to try in view of purchasing the iPhone 13pro. I vowed never to have an iPhone but the 4 year old xs max is impressing me immensely! I’m either going for a oppo find x5 pro or iPhone 13 pro when I’m due an upgrade in September.
so basically if you're a techie and have a stable salary to support buying apple products, you should buy the ip13 pro max. but if you're just a regular guy with average income and dont really care about the minor differences, then you should get the cheaper one which is the galaxy s21. i wish i saw this vid before buying the ip13 pro max. there isnt rlly much difference with the 2 phones, so i might as well buy the cheaper one T_T it would've saved me a few dollars. T_T
I just decided to switch from the pixel 4a (5g) to the iPhone 13 Pro max. Mainly for the quality of video the iPhone is able to produce. It seems like Apple has always been pretty reliable with their cameras
Loving my iPhone pro max. Yes, ecosystem is the reason I stayed with apple and battery life is superb. Sold my spare pixel 3a as I just did not use it enough.
Yeah well thanks to this video and many others I finally bought my new phone, the 13 pro max, I tested both the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Galaxy S22 Ultra and I went for the iPhone. But boy does this thing gets hot when you're gaming, right next to the camera there is a spot that quickly gets very uncomfortable when I'm playing Geshin Impact, then the screen brightness dims massively and the hole thing become underwhelming to say the least. Honestly I don't care anymore about power, it doesn't mean anything if you end up with a toaster in your hands, now I wonder if the Galaxy has the same issue, I'm seriously considering a switch now.
The awkward, slippery feeling scrolling alone kills the deal for any android phone for me, maybe except pixel. Got an S20 FE last year and never been so fast to switch back. People may just not care, but I always couldnt wrap my head around how so many people just sincerely can’t even notice the difference. I personally would even take an SE over Ultra.
I'm an android fan, but even I can tell you that iPhone has the much greater software experience. A good example of this is the gesture navigation system. A lot of android apps still use swipe left to access the side bar. This makes going back in an app a pain, especially if you're using a case. iOS is also a more stable operating system. I'd go with the 13 Pro Max. Especially now that the Pixel 6 Pro is out and it's not looking good. iPhone also has always had a snappier camera system. Even on older iPhones, like the 6s, the camera feels smooth due to iOS being a more stable OS.
I have an s21 ultra but was gifted an iPhone 13 for Christmas. I've never used an iPhone but I'm very curious. Please advise me on which you think I should use and which one I should put in my safe as a backup phone and why.
They both are great phones, but for me I download apps from other sites other than Play store and also I would like to customize my phone the way I want it, I would like to have as much as screen possible and there are some other small things if iPhone had these, I would switch from android to iPhone. But for now I will stick with androids.
For people who likes to jailbreak or root like me, I have to say its more “worth it” to jailbreak than it is to root android, since even non rooted, You could really customize your phone the way You like. Jailbreak however, is a must if You like to customize. HOWEVER, I have difficulty with bringing myself to “hack” a very expensive phone. Thats why i use 2 phones for daily usage. My 13 pro max is for work and other “formal” activities. While my second is a cheaper android just for games and hacking everything i like. Its like how people have a mercedes for showing off at parties and social gatherings, but drive a toyota for daily drive to the shops
I absolutely hate the idea of hole in the center of the top of the phone. The notch definitely looks better now owing to its smaller size and just blends in very well overall
I'm an Android user for more than 10 years. Now I switched to Apple and took the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It's a great phone with outstanding battery life and a amazing cam. I still have the Galaxy S10+ that I use too. I was curious about IOS. It's true, Android gives you more customizaton options but that's not a big deal. I"ve a nice background and a personal ringtone. At least the differences between IOS and Android are no big deal for me the OS are very comparable.
I've had Samsung phones for a long time and haven't really seen much reason to switch over. Though I must say, through the years it's really impressive to see Apple's development with their phones and even more impressive accessories. We'll have to wait and see what the iphone 14 and Samsung 22 bring to the foreseeable table. In the future.
Looks like Apple 14 will have the same punch for the camera as the current Samsung (getting rid of the small notch, but I hear Samsung is working on an adaptive punch that will allow for videos to play over it so there won’t be a black dot on the screen when watching movies
I'm conflicted. I admire Apple's video and picture quality as well as their smooth UI but Android, in this case Samsung, just allows more freedom to utilize my phone the way I want. There's too many restrictions with the iPhone, and I'm not certain I'm ready to give up my flexibility.
I've actually gone the other way. After 10 years of Android (most recently the S20 Ultra), I've jumped back to my first iPhone since iPhone 4 and there's something mentally quite pleasant and refreshing about the experience. I don't feel as restricted as I thought I would be. With Android, sometime you can have too much choice and an endless landfill of barely useable 3rd party apps to the point where i'd find myself tinkering with things almost for the sake of tinkering. They can feel so bloated with junk, even from new. The iPhone just feels smooth, streamlined and less cluttered. I'm completely on the fence though. I think both are great (I've kept hold of my S20 Ultra as a back-up) and it always amuses me to see Android and Apple fans fighting over incredibly similar, and equally amazing, devices.
I switched from IPhone to S21 ultra. My iPhone wasn't bad. But, I got bored with the IPhone! I believe the S21 ultra is a better all around phone. They S21 is bad ass ! The camera and zoom on it is crazy. I love the customization also! I'm team Samsung now !

How's battery life on your S21U compared to the 11 pro ?
The ergonomics of the S21 Ultra is much better but it is hella buggy, at least for me. I got to try the iPhone 13 Pro Max and it is noticeably smoother and faster at every way.

@Kelly Carl For what? To spend $1200 on an aluminum phone?
@@toptiertech7291 No. For the USB C connector, touch screen unlock and for confort in the hand.
@@Tirelirelou I like my FaceID better. "comfort in hand" is very debatable. I dont like aluminum phones for that much money. Not too comfortable
@@toptiertech7291 "comfort in hand" is very debatable? Have you ever hold an iPhone 13 Pro or Pro MAX in your hand for more than 2 minutes? The shiny stainless steel border or the iPhone 13 gets dirty real fast, is very easy to scratch and makes the iPhone 13 Pro MAX the heaviest flagship phone on the market and probably the thickest.
I've been on my S10+ since launch however I would have been interested in jumping into iPhones again IF the archaic lightning port was not present. It is currently my greatest barrier into switching.
Agree and the fact that the iPhone 13 Pro supports pro-res WITHOUT a USB-C port is just ridiculous. In practice, you can't even use the pro-res video if you wanted because it will take hours to load the data off the phone via Lightning. That said, the software longevity of Apple/iOS is why I still use an iPhone. Samsung gave me the worst smartphone experience I've ever had with the S7 Edge. If the phone doesn't lag balls after 3 years, you are lucky af.
Yep I feel that
@@LuKiSCraft I have to say, I have been doing quite well with the S10+ with it approaching 3 years of heavy usage now, I think that chipsets are getting to the point that they have enough power to not show considerable slowdown over time - but yes, one of the biggest reasons why I am keen to switch is because of the prolonged support that iOS has been showing for their devices. I have a 2018 iPad Pro that I know that I will be happy using for several more years and I would be able to justify the purchase of a £1000+ phone if it would be something that lasted me for 5+ years if I so chose.
Agreed. That’s the one thing that’s stopping me from switching. Hoping that new EU law will finally turn their heads.
@@LuKiSCraft I have the S7 edge since 2017 and it doesn't lag. The S4 was pretty slow after a few years but it was not the case with S7 edge.

Another great video, thanks! However, as someone who uses both phones everyday (Android for personal use & iPhone for work) I'd have to say while they're both great, the Samsung and most Android phones are much better to use. The customization, android software/google ecosystem support, screen, everyday speed advantage over iPhone, etc. iPhones are good for what they do but they're soooo limited, they still can't don't offer an always on display, split screen support, or even true live wallpaper support.
Agree with this 👌🏿
I just sold my iphone 13 pro for 850 pounds and bought a s21 ultra brand new for 670.
I just couldnt get used to the ipbone tbh
Looks like you have the Exynos Variant.
The Galaxy phones have signal issues outside of the the USA. I was just on Central America and my note 20 ultra had signal issues as my wife's iPhone 13 was good. I know here in the US samsung has better connections
To be fair why would you need a split screen that would look so ugly and the Apple eco system is far better but I see ur point
I have Adobe Rush on my S21 Ultra. Downloaded from the Play Store too. Maybe it's not available based on region? But you could always sideload it 😉
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ±➊➎➊➐➍⓿⓿➋➒➎➍
yeah its region locked
Just ordered the s21 ultra, upgrading from my 11 pro max. First android i’ve had since the galaxy note 3, after having 6s plus, X and 11 I felt like a change and dont think i’ll regret it. Especially with the 13 pro max having a minimum 4 weeks waiting list seems like fate telling me to get the s21
So how was it?
Can't wait to see how the Pixel 6 Pro compares to these. Great video as always!
Google pixel always great to see...
Although i am sort of an apple fanboy, I really do love the Samsung. Really the only thing that is stopping me from getting one is having to switch operating systems and learn a new phone again. I also love imessage. But there are a lot of times that i regret not getting a Samsung .
The Note line were the only Devices that I’d suffer through android’s OS just to use. Bring the Note line back please.
It's back haven't you heard the news and one ui is not bad
Everythings smooth on Android
Suffer through Android OS?LOL. The ultra has every feature the note line has. Yes you have to buy an s-pen but has all the same features.
Thanks for great video. Both phones are great . The only major downside for Samsung is low re-sell value after one year of use. I would gladly pick Pro Max if it was narrower and easier to hold. Will consider upgrading to regular 13 Pro.
The resale issue is true. However, I don't worry about that because when I upgrade I do it through Samsung and not only do I get TOP dollar....I end up getting 2-3 NEW items FREE. apple trade in program is NOT nearly as good regardless of how much you paid for the phone. Trust me....I have experienced it. For example when I traded my Note20 Ultra for the S21 Ultra with Samsung...I got 900.00 for the phone plus FREE Galaxy pro buds(which sounds better than the Airpods pro), Free You Tube premium , and a FREE wireless charger. Apple will NEVER give you 900.00 on trade in for a phone. NO way! You are better off to sell your iphone on Craigslist or something. So in that case Samsung wins! You don't have to go through the hassle of trying to sell your phone.
@@Actionjac1 fact i have been Samsung user for years and they trade in value in unmatched especially when you do pre-order
Whats funny about the Samsungs being worth less after a year of use, is that they typically perform better at a year old vs a year old iPhone. One of my largest complaints about my iPhone was that after time it just seemed to perform worse and worse as it got older. I've had my s10+ since it came out and it still works like the day I got it. (Minus the battery, as all phones do the battery life has gotten a little worse over time). But any iPhone I've ever had is almost unusable after about 2yrs.
@@RyanNash20 Correct! but you will never make Apple Fan boys and girls believe that.
@@hermanjackson6429 I am not sure how to comment on why your iPhone is just unusable after 2 yrs. If that was really the case used iPhone 8,9,10 would not have resale value of more than 250$ after 5-6 years of release.
I have been using my 11 pro max this is my 3rd yr and sure it has slowed down a bit but nowhere close to unusable. It’s still snappy and works great.
Your case maybe unique I am not sure.
I just upgraded to the 13 Pro, and I LOVE it! Excellent battery, I love the display, and how quick it is. But, like a lot of things these days, is highly subjective. I have also owned Androids for years, and I love them. Both are great devices, and it just really comes down to preference. I prefer Apple’s ecosystem, and how well devices work with each other across the ecosystem, but if I wasn’t, I’d probably re-consider Samsung. Both Android and iOS are excellent, polished, and refined systems, and they’re so comparable on so many levels in terms of hardware and software that, to me, it’s a wash between the two. Technology is simply amazing. The amount of power and access we have to information these days is incredible. Get either one, and be happy with it. No need to bash the other because you chose one. 😊

Very nice, objective review. Great visuals, great narration and sound quality. Both of these phones are ridiculously expensive, but it is nice to know (I suppose) that they both deliver something special for that outrageous price tag. Don't be surprised if Apple goes all-MagSafe and does away with the Lightning port altogether. That may sound crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if MagSafe incorporates data traffic (they already do with the M1 iMac with Ethernet port embedded in MagSafe). But that's probably not going to materialize for another one to three years, according to rumors. I'd be happier with USB-C or even Thunderbolt, but Apple would probably never do that. The Galaxy S21 UItra is an impressive phone. Too bad each phone is locked into its own technology ecosystem. Either way, you're forced to compromise. That's mobile technology in the early 21st century for you.
I want to emphasize that I have automobile silicone finish on my S21 and I had it on my S8. Without the silicone finish my S21 appeared to have a factory blemish on the glass especially when held at an angle. The silicone finish on my S8 looked fantastic like a really special device. Today holding my S21 I see it as beautiful thanks for the most part that I have silicone wax on it!
Just got the 13 Pro Max, the screen and battery life were the USP for me, loving it!!
Yep the battery last over 2 days , it’s crazy
Im thinking about switching from the s21 think its worth it?
@Alissa Love it comes down to the OS tbh. if you like iOS then yeah
Nice video :) I'm kinda leaning towards the iPhone, but I've been on Android for many years.
Switched to SS ecosystem a year or two ago. Then switched back after iPhone decided to change to boxy design. TBH I have a few things I’ve missed after switching but I am too accustomed to Apple ecosystem. What I probably would love on iPhone is the pen support / zoom further / freely place widgets+AOD (the necessity is in order from really need to not too hopeful😅)
So basically what the s21 ultra already has? 😉

I wouldn't mind doing it, but many things would need to change before I did!
You can zoom further in the iPhone: after recording the video, just open the footage and zoom in with your fingers- this literally what Samsung phones do just they do it while recording
@@ginito That´s not the same and the galaxy has better zoom and can go optically to 10 times vs 3, thats a huge difference.

I had a bad experience on the iPhone 4s, I have been a Samsung fan for years, but after setting up the iPhone 13 for my partner I liked the feel of it. It feels smoother so I have jumped over to give the iPhone 13 Pro a chance.

I’m honestly try own between which one to get. I know each have their advantage to each other. The main thing that makes me loyal to the iPhone since I’m still using a two or three generation old MacBook and I’m not upgrading my laptop anytime soon; but the refresh rates, camera, & customization of the Samsung vs Apple. The few puzzle games I play don’t require too much speed & graphics.
The biggest problem I have with Apple product is they intentionally slow down the products on older products. After software updates on my MacBook Pro and older gen iPad, it’s almost unusable due to slow speed.
After several hundred charde/discharge cycles ALL batteries lose their ability to hold a charge and lose amperage. It's the nature of batteries. Fast charging is actually NOT good for your battery. Slow charge is always the best way to charge any battery IF you have time to do so. Fast charging kills the battery cells much much faster, thus causing earlier battery degradation.
This is true.
@SouthCentral_Kid Every phone battery will degrade after time, the iphone will degrade aswell after some months. But they artificially downlevel the CPU performance which Samsung doesnt
@SouthCentral_Kid thats how it works stupid the battery detiriorates over time
This may be true, but to be fair Samsung (most androids in general) just slow down and become unusable after a few years on their own anyway. It’s all the same junk. You just pick what junk you like better.
I prefer my S21 ultra, love android alot less hassle to use.. 😊

Been using and loving the S21 Ultra since launch. But if Apple goes with titanium band and a thicker phone to make the cameras more flush with the body and add USB-C, it will be hard not to switch back to ios next year.
@CGGS_Gaming they're gonna redesign it one way or another, if it's to make it a bit thicker, with an even better battery life and more flush cameras, it'll be a hit and a half
iPhone 14 will not have USB C. It will instead be completely portless.
@CGGS_Gaming Of course it will.
@CGGS_Gaming Nope. Apple will go completely portless with the iPhone 13 as legislation in the European Union has stated that all smartphones from 2023 onwards will have to use a standard port, and that would mean iPhones would have to have USB C like Android phones which Apple would never want.
@CGGS_Gaming Eventually all countries will require smartphones to have USB C. So Apple will have to kill the Lightning port and go portless.
the galaxy can get up to 1700 nits but only under direct sunlight. idk why samsung does this, but in all of its recent phones from the flagships right down to the A series, the maximum brightness will only toggle on under direct sunlight.
Well I’ve just got the 13 pro I came from android. I was loving it until my phone wouldn’t let me move my apps I contacted apple who said I would have to back up my phone however to do that I would have to pay for storage which I refused. Apple then told me to take the phone back to Argos who are now out of stock of the phone. I’m gutted as I thought apple had the best customer service.
If you can afford +1000 euro phone, I assume you can afford subscription for storage it’s literally one euro per month, you can move all your stuff and then cancel it if you don’t need it.

Ok so compare the zfold 3 to the iPhone 13 pro max….o wait the fold is $1900 and didn’t even use the s21 ultra camera 🤣. I waited for years for a folder and each time they just price me way out the ballpark. I can buy a new pro max and an iPad for the price of the newest Samsung. Remember back when people said how cheap they were compared ? Not anymore
I have been using samsung phones since samsung 5. Now I got iphone 13. And I clearly see differences. First when you start your iPhone there's no Junkware preinstalled Junkware samsung doesn't let you remove easily. To make my s20 plus useful I had to spend around week to remove and tweak android os to remove all that junk. Ios on my iPhone I easily removed what I didn't want and phone just works. The only advantage my s20 plus has over my iPhone 13 is that I can install any app on my android phone I want. While apple won't let you do that. In real life I use phone for 10 hours a day for work. Since samsung s7 edge screens on my Samsung lasted for year before I was seeing ghost image. That's probably biggest reason I shifted to iphone.
Really on the fence here. Been Samsung for years. Changed to iPhone 12 Pro Max last year. Miss so many features but the face unlock is a major plus for me. Might upgrade to the iPhone 13 pro, just waiting to see what google has to offer on the 19th.

S21 is having major mobile network issues, seems to be either from One UI update or issue with the actual antenna. Alot of people are experiencing issues and have been for a couple months. Samsung support says they cannot do anything but suggest sending in device. They need to be recalled.
The only reason why Apple join the 120 clubs is quite obviously their supplier gave them the same deal for their 60hz screens.
It’s more to do with hardware maturity; the earlier versions suffered high battery drain and didn’t include adaptive refresh.
@@sod16 adaptive refresh rate has been around since the note 20U dude
@@mardochejulien9840 Yes because Samsung makes 2 phones a year. Theres only been 1 note and 1 s series phone with adaptive refresh rate. So apple isn't really that late
iPhone sells like 200million units a year....compared to around 30million units for 120hz adaptive refresh rate of Samsung flagship....most other 120hz brands are not adaptive and those adapt only sells like hundreds of thousands a year.

EVEN IT IS A GENERATION OLD..STILL I FEEL S21 ULTRA..IS THE 👌 BEST..IN DESIGN,SCREEN AND ALSO THE 📷
They are both 2021 phones so not sure why it is a generation old! The Flip and Fold just released have the same hardware *SD888*, are they a gen old despite being release within a few weeks! That is nonsense, the S22U will be the same gen as the iPhone 14!
To be fair though, the S21 competed with both iPhone 12 and 13. Imagine what the S22 will be like
I’m the opposite I think iPhone has better design and screen and definitely Camera oh lord🔥. Just me though🙃
I'm getting s21 ultra soon that's need to watch this video.
I had the 13 pro max but if youve been to apple ecosystem for long time you might get to the point that you might try new one thats why i bought s21 ultra.
Just picked up the 13 Pro and been enjoying Apple after years of Android. It was a cheap upgrade, otherwise Note 20Ultra still king in my pocket.

I'll go for better display, better camera and more features.
Samsung s21 ultra has the W for me✌
DisplayMate made the iPhone display the best they have ever seen, ahead of the S21U. You of course may be talking about aesthetics rather than quality, but that is superficial and subjective. Better camera, we await the pro verdicts, but I suspect in videography the iPhone is better and Samsung wins in ultra-wide and zoom, but the most important, the main lens, they are pretty close. Not sure about more features, maybe stuff that I do not care for, the iPhone has things that I much prefer?

Other companies are already implementing advanced features and apple still busy enhancing existing features for 5 years and charging 1000$ + for it.

Not to forget to mention the ecosystem that Samsung is working on and is already fucking amazing.
@@chrischiha2750 Science says 300PPI is enough for smartphones for those that have 20:20 vision, so 500PPI is really for bragging rights and that is why most flagship phones now have returned to 1080p including the expensive s21+. If it makes you have to waste battery and power on PPI you simply cannot see unless you pixel peep then that is sad.
I have six year old iPhones still going fine, passed I think the family or used for certain features (navigation, hotspot, games, etc) so yes having six years support and a very powerful chip is a big advantage and do not tell me you would not want the power and efficiency of the A15 in the next Samsung!
The Apple ecosystem i already here and leaves Samsung in the dust. Glad to see Samsung moving in the right direction but Apple is the clear winner here!
Nothing beats the king of all phones and thats iphone 13
The s21 ultra is still a great but honestly if I have the bugs I'll go with the 13 pro max
The price difference is enormous. People keep comparing the original prices, but the S21 Ultra's prices have dropped a lot now, sometimes you can get it for over *$500* less than the 13 pro max!
Samsung s21 ultra is still best even today 2023. I can still use it as my desktop and can always connect to an xbox controller while playing on a big screen. Its truly a versatile phone. It is ap hone, a camera, a desktop, a video gaming device which can always connect to an xbox controller. iphone is just a phone and a camera
Great review. Thank you. I'm leaning towards the iphone, but that extra strong telephoto lens capability of the Samsung, not just 3x but also 10x (And did I hear you say something about 30x?), that is so tempting. The real estate of the Samsung screen seems to be maximized better, right up closer to the edge, but somehow the Apple still looks wider, can you tell me which actually has the wider usable/viewing screen? IOther things equal, I'd rather have slightly wider than slightly taller). Lastly, I don't like the smudgy sides of the iphone, but the graphite does seem to hide any smudges better, do you think? And I've never used a case b/c they always seem too thick, though I've never had a high end phone either, but a case on the iphone would hide the smudgy sides, are the cases pretty thin, or do they really make the iphone noticeably more bulky? I would greatly appreciate any insights on the above. Either way, thanks again for a great review, very useful! Thumbs up!
I ve only gone and done it!ordered max 13 ,so excited,and apple watch,
Me I choose galaxy s21 utra

Ease of use. Higher resale value, superior after purchase service.
Higher resale value because:
1) apple brings foot traffic, like selling second hand rolex, not actual profitable sales... ask any retail buyer or planner. Resale value depends on popularity, not quality of product or initial sale price...
2) the 13 is brand new... anyone buying a resold model is buying from an unhappy customer or scalper... both reasons tell you its not a good buy.

Your perspective on Apples value is indoctrinated, cult influenced, marketing influenced, conformist influenced...
Mine perspective on Apple is retail and business influenced, and they're practically criminals... and murderers... but that's a whole other topic...
But I'm the fool?🤣😂
Whatever you say lol keep living the Apple simp life...

And you're a fool with none.
Always been an android user but at present using a iPhone XS Max that has been given to me to try in view of purchasing the iPhone 13pro. I vowed never to have an iPhone but the 4 year old xs max is impressing me immensely!
I’m either going for a oppo find x5 pro or iPhone 13 pro when I’m due an upgrade in September.
But I just wanna point out that ur skin tone looked at least true to life on d s21 Ultra compared to the reddish look on iPhone
S21 can still optimize their videos and cameras in Updates
so basically if you're a techie and have a stable salary to support buying apple products, you should buy the ip13 pro max. but if you're just a regular guy with average income and dont really care about the minor differences, then you should get the cheaper one which is the galaxy s21.
i wish i saw this vid before buying the ip13 pro max. there isnt rlly much difference with the 2 phones, so i might as well buy the cheaper one T_T it would've saved me a few dollars. T_T
I just decided to switch from the pixel 4a (5g) to the iPhone 13 Pro max. Mainly for the quality of video the iPhone is able to produce. It seems like Apple has always been pretty reliable with their cameras
Just ordered the S21 Ultra.... Samsung fan always....
Loving my iPhone pro max. Yes, ecosystem is the reason I stayed with apple and battery life is superb. Sold my spare pixel 3a as I just did not use it enough.
Nice video enjoyed watching it , keep up the good work 👍🏼
As always big fan of yours tech chap...
Galaxy all the way and im using oneplus 7pro i think im gonna get THE note next year
Yeah well thanks to this video and many others I finally bought my new phone, the 13 pro max, I tested both the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Galaxy S22 Ultra and I went for the iPhone.
But boy does this thing gets hot when you're gaming, right next to the camera there is a spot that quickly gets very uncomfortable when I'm playing Geshin Impact, then the screen brightness dims massively and the hole thing become underwhelming to say the least.
Honestly I don't care anymore about power, it doesn't mean anything if you end up with a toaster in your hands, now I wonder if the Galaxy has the same issue, I'm seriously considering a switch now.
The awkward, slippery feeling scrolling alone kills the deal for any android phone for me, maybe except pixel. Got an S20 FE last year and never been so fast to switch back. People may just not care, but I always couldnt wrap my head around how so many people just sincerely can’t even notice the difference. I personally would even take an SE over Ultra.
Slippery feeling? Wtf haha apple people make me laugh
It's not something I've ever really noticed. But a separate launcher might fix?
@@Thetechchap slippery phone lol
@@mrsmokingskittles148 he's literally trying to make choppy 60hz an advantage lmao

I'm an android fan, but even I can tell you that iPhone has the much greater software experience. A good example of this is the gesture navigation system. A lot of android apps still use swipe left to access the side bar. This makes going back in an app a pain, especially if you're using a case. iOS is also a more stable operating system. I'd go with the 13 Pro Max. Especially now that the Pixel 6 Pro is out and it's not looking good. iPhone also has always had a snappier camera system. Even on older iPhones, like the 6s, the camera feels smooth due to iOS being a more stable OS.
I have an s21 ultra but was gifted an iPhone 13 for Christmas. I've never used an iPhone but I'm very curious. Please advise me on which you think I should use and which one I should put in my safe as a backup phone and why.
They both are great phones, but for me I download apps from other sites other than Play store and also I would like to customize my phone the way I want it, I would like to have as much as screen possible and there are some other small things if iPhone had these, I would switch from android to iPhone. But for now I will stick with androids.
Im torn between the iPhone or the new Samsung. I’ve had iPhone for over 10 years and I’m kind of bored with it but scared to change
For people who likes to jailbreak or root like me, I have to say its more “worth it” to jailbreak than it is to root android, since even non rooted, You could really customize your phone the way You like. Jailbreak however, is a must if You like to customize. HOWEVER, I have difficulty with bringing myself to “hack” a very expensive phone. Thats why i use 2 phones for daily usage. My 13 pro max is for work and other “formal” activities. While my second is a cheaper android just for games and hacking everything i like.
Its like how people have a mercedes for showing off at parties and social gatherings, but drive a toyota for daily drive to the shops
Watching on my S21 Ultra in 2023
Hii,I'm also so confused to tack which one,13 pro max or s22 ultra, which one you prefer?
It's a great feeling when you see your phone outperforming a phone a year younger than it. 🔥
I absolutely hate the idea of hole in the center of the top of the phone. The notch definitely looks better now owing to its smaller size and just blends in very well overall
I'm an Android user for more than 10 years. Now I switched to Apple and took the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It's a great phone with outstanding battery life and a amazing cam. I still have the Galaxy S10+ that I use too. I was curious about IOS. It's true, Android gives you more customizaton options but that's not a big deal. I"ve a nice background and a personal ringtone. At least the differences between IOS and Android are no big deal for me the OS are very comparable.
James Bond was a great test for those speakers!
Did somebody notice the difference in display on camera, you can see refreshing (lines on screen) on Samsung phone 😳 like old monitors!
I do need a phone and want to buy one but I can't afford either one
Would y'all go iPhone 13 pro max or S22 ultra when it comes out? Currently on OnePlus 7t pro McLaren
I've had Samsung phones for a long time and haven't really seen much reason to switch over. Though I must say, through the years it's really impressive to see Apple's development with their phones and even more impressive accessories. We'll have to wait and see what the iphone 14 and Samsung 22 bring to the foreseeable table. In the future.
Looks like Apple 14 will have the same punch for the camera as the current Samsung (getting rid of the small notch, but I hear Samsung is working on an adaptive punch that will allow for videos to play over it so there won’t be a black dot on the screen when watching movies
Agreed
people buying these dam phones but can't pay their rent
Basically they are similar quality to each other, I'll just choose the cheaper one.
Im so excited for the 14 like I literally can’t wait, next month
I'm conflicted. I admire Apple's video and picture quality as well as their smooth UI but Android, in this case Samsung, just allows more freedom to utilize my phone the way I want. There's too many restrictions with the iPhone, and I'm not certain I'm ready to give up my flexibility.
Exactly! The only reason I'd buy an iPhone is for the camera. Other than that...I have no reason to
Thank you..
@@nokuthulabhuda8043 exactly...
I really love the freedom of Android phones.. And i am used to the operating system.
I've actually gone the other way. After 10 years of Android (most recently the S20 Ultra), I've jumped back to my first iPhone since iPhone 4 and there's something mentally quite pleasant and refreshing about the experience. I don't feel as restricted as I thought I would be. With Android, sometime you can have too much choice and an endless landfill of barely useable 3rd party apps to the point where i'd find myself tinkering with things almost for the sake of tinkering. They can feel so bloated with junk, even from new. The iPhone just feels smooth, streamlined and less cluttered.
I'm completely on the fence though. I think both are great (I've kept hold of my S20 Ultra as a back-up) and it always amuses me to see Android and Apple fans fighting over incredibly similar, and equally amazing, devices.
Samsung and Apple should come together to make one phone that will change how we look or use smartphones forever. 😉
They have been collaborating since( sharing their brand engineering on some of their devices hardware) and we d buyers just don’t know it.
Apple would probably be the one buying Samsung out if it came to that point
iPhone uses a lot of Samsung products like the screen lmao

I love my s21 ultra but I'm chasing due to software, it's better stabilize on IPhone, and finally IPhone has an 120hrz, haha
I switched from IPhone to S21 ultra. My iPhone wasn't bad. But, I got bored with the IPhone! I believe the S21 ultra is a better all around phone. They S21 is bad ass ! The camera and zoom on it is crazy. I love the customization also! I'm team Samsung now !

Its amazing how similar these phones are getting. But I still prefer the Samsung because you have alot more options
I just can't stand laggyness
@@issavibez394 umn samsung phones arent laggy unless your doing something to crash it like having too many apps, photos, vids or whatever then that does slow ur phone down ... I'm not jsit talking abt Samsung I'm talking abt all phones like if u forget to do system update that def causes laggyness so if u don't want that to happen then keep your phone up to date and clear out stuff
