iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra | Camera, Gaming, Battery & Beyond!

Reviewing Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra phone, to see which has the best camera tech, battery life, gaming performance and more. That iPhone 15 Pro Max costs as much as an S23 Ultra, but which is worth that sky high price - if either?

Check out my review of Samsung's Galaxy flagship, and my one week impression of Apple's handset is coming tomorrow!

Now, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max sports some upgraded camera hardware, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is still king when it comes to telephoto shooting. It's also better for night shots, as you'll see in my side-by-side camera test - although which you prefer for everyday photography is a matter of taste.

Gamers will appreciate either phone, although Genshin Impact does play with a 120FPS mode on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple's phone does tend to overheat under duress, although thankfully not to the point where I've seen performance throttled. But battery life is also better on Samsung's S23 Ultra, for everyday shenanigans.

Not only that, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max charges at a slothful rate. For a flagship phone it's disappointing, while the Galaxy doesn't exactly knock you down with crazy fast speeds.

As for iOS vs Android, well, that's an age old battle that'll rage forever. But which is your favourite between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and that Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra? Let us know your thoughts below!
