However, only the iPhone offers a Cinematic mode for video that provides a rack focus effect and it automatically switches subjects based on who is speaking. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is capable of recording video up to 8K at 24fps, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max maxes out at 4K and 60 fps. Winner: iPhone 13 Pro Max Galaxy S22 Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro Max: Video I prefer the more evenly lit shot the Galaxy S22 Ultra provides with its 40MP front camera, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max's shot is a bit brighter while offering more detail in my jacket. This selfie comparison isn't an easy call. Same thing goes for the oranges on the right. The pears have a more natural hue, while the colors are a oversaturated on the S22 Ultra. The iPhone 13 Pro Max wins with this shot of fruit at a grocery store. While I like the warm tone in the Samsung shot, my face and shirt look brighter and crisper on the iPhone. The Galaxy S22 Ultra offers improved portraits with a AI Stereo Depth Map feature that better separates subject from the background, but the overall image quality in this shot isn't quite as good as the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The S22 Ultra's shot has a yellowish tinge to it. The Galaxy S22 Ultra's image is brighter and reveals the decorations on the right, but the glasses and Kettle One bottle in the background look clearer on the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

In this Night Mode photo of a bar cart I'd say it's a draw between the two phones. You can more easily make out the bushes, mulch and the snow. When it comes to Night mode shots, the Galaxy S22 Ultra delivered a brighter and crisper image here than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. You can make out more details in the petals on the right side, while the S22 Ultra seems to struggle with this close-up shot. The iPhone 13 Pro Max starts strong this shot of chrysanthemum flowers taken indoors. The iPhone 13 Pro Max supports just 3x optical zoom though. Apple also increased the size of the main sensor to let in more light. The iPhone 13 Pro Max packs a trio of 12MP lenses that include main, ultrawide and telephoto shooters. And it's complemented by a 12MP ultrawide lens and dual 10MP telephoto lenses that give you up to 10x optical zoom and 100x Space Zoom. The Galaxy S22 Ultra enters this fight with a 108MP main camera with a larger sensor than the S21 Ultra that's designed to let in more light.
