Battery lifeĮven though the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a considerably smaller battery pack, the phone demonstrates exceptional endurance. What's important is that in both cases, you get a sufficiently bright display providing an excellent outdoor viewing experience. Also, these numbers don't mean the iPhone will be some 40% brighter that's not how nits work.

Yes, the iPhone may look a bit better under direct sunlight as it can go up to 1,760 nits, but the S23 Ultra's 1,274 nits are quite respectable too.

The vast majority of users will get a similar visual experience on either phone. It also tops the S23 Ultra's HDR video standard with Dolby Vision, whereas the Galaxy 'settles' for HDR10+.Ĭolor accuracy of both screens is superb as long as you choose the right color mode. The Pro Max boasts considerably higher brightness in both modes - manual and auto. When it comes to the display hardware, Samsung's phone offers higher resolution, a larger diagonal and is curved to the sides, allowing for a more comfortable grip and gesture execution.
