Early Recommendation

If you’re after mobile gaming, the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a full array of marketplaces and available games that you can get for free or play. This does not mean the the iPhone 13 Pro Max is not made for gaming. It can definitely be a gaming powerhouse, but at the expense of a closer system.

Having said this, if you want to be more “free” in being able to play backup retro games, it is much easier to do this on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. There are plenty of available emulators available via Google PlayStore and also supports sideloading.

Gaming is not the only major advantage of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is also an unofficial Galaxy Note because of its S-Pen.

The Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max remains to be the best choice for those who are still ingrained in the Apple ecosystem. The OS and the apps available for the iPhone are very well optimized for its lower CPU configuration. Optimization is the main reason why the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s CPU performs better in artificial benchmarks. If you are the type of consumer who falls in this web of situation, get the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
