S23 Ultra vs iPhone 15 Pro Max... In 2026
Since it's been 3 years both the phones have been released, I want to check the software and performance situation in both.
I'm personally using the S23 Ultra. I was previously an iPhoen 5s owner. S23 ultra was just awesome in the beginning when I bought it. The camera and video quality was just better in comparison with iPhone 15 pro (friends phone).
And personally, using the GoodLock module just elevated the experience with Samsung. I loved the intuitiveness.
One thing I was afraid was the animations where I thought usually samsung or any andriod does never meet iPhone's polished smoothness. But it proved me wrong. The SD Gen processor, latest One UI, better hardwares, everything just smashed the iphone as per what I researched and practically felt.
Now post that, in 2026, I'm seeing so many lags and gitters with the phone which is really annoying. The camera really got degraded such that my frnds iphone 13 takes better pictures and videos than mine. I really couldn't accept such thing since I trusted the mobile to be kept in the long run with zero issues like the iPhone. But I guess I was wrong.
I really want to know whether this is something common with every Ultra users here or is it just me.
Is it that maybe if I chose the iPhone 15 Pro Max, I wouldn't have faced such situation and been a happy owner?
Should I hereafter just buy iPhone to get the best longevity with the UI smoothness, performance, and camera's?
Please give your honest opinion.
Apologies for my rant.
