Can't decide whether to grab a brand new Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus or invest in an iPhone 13 Pro? We compare these two phones to help you decide.
With the recent launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 range, you might be wondering whether to invest in an S22 Plus or pick up an iPhone 13 Pro instead. While the iPhone’s 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and A15 Bionic chip might seem tempting, the expansive 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, and 4,500mAh battery of the Galaxy S22 Plus are also calling to you.
The iPhone 13 Pro is a sleek creation, with squared-off stainless steel bezels running around the outside of the handset. In contrast, the Galaxy S22 Plus has a premium Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus Plus front and back with a satin finish, but otherwise sticks fairly close to the design of its predecessor. Both phones look great on first impressions, so it generally comes down to which dimensions suit your needs best.
Finally, both phones have an IP68 rating, meaning it’s safe to submerge each handset in up to six meters of water for up to 30 minutes, so you can safely pack either for your beach trip. You’ll be back up and at full charge in just 60 minutes with the S22 Plus’s 45W fast charging, compared to the rather-average 2oW wired charging on offer with the iPhone 13 Pro. Both phones have wireless charging, though the S22 Plus has 15W speeds compared to the 7.5W of the iPhone. You do get 15W MagSafe charging with the iPhone 13 Pro though, and the S22 Plus counters this with reverse wireless charging, great for boosting your earbuds or Galaxy Watch on the go.
We haven’t spent much time with the S22 Plus yet to test its camera capabilities, but features like Nightograph for great selfies at night and A.I. Stereo Depth Map, which lets you focus on what you care about, with improved object segmentation, are sure to give you shots to be proud of. The S22 Plus promises great photos in any lighting, with Adaptive Pixel that detects the light around you and intelligently switches between modes, and Detail Enhancer, which uses deep-learning A.I.
Apple usually provides several years of updates for its phones, with users receiving new versions of software as soon as they’re ready. But Samsung definitely has the edge here, offering four Android upgrades and five years of security patches, making the S22 Plus truly futureproof.Special features Both the iPhone 13 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus support 5G, with both phones supporting mmWave, sub-6GHz 5G, and Ultra-Wideband for the fastest speeds, no matter your carrier.
