it's that time of the year when i get to escape my iphone for a while and i get to try something a
bit more exciting of course this year we have the samsung galaxy s22 and this one is the iphone 13.
now price-wise the iphone 13 is a bit more expensive than the galaxy s22 and depending on
your location samsung typically gives some really good trading values for your previous devices
so in most cases you can buy the latest galaxy device for less than you'd actually spend on an
iphone now don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with my iphone 13. this is actually a
really good phone one of the best phones that i've tried but as we all know iphones are a bit boring
and when i switch to a device like the samsung galaxy s22 that excitement of a new smartphone
kind of comes back for a while this s22 is also my first samsung device that's using an axino
chipset all the samsung phones that i've had up until now are using snapdragon cpus but i was
buying devices in north america this time around i bought this one in europe so this is the european
version of the samsung galaxy s22 and now i can kind of understand why people typically don't
like samsung devices that are using that exynos chipset compared to my last year's s21 that was
using a snapdragon cpu this one doesn't feel as smooth as the other one even though this one is
the newer device so just to give you an example if you would open facebook on both and you just
scroll up or down as you typically do on facebook the last galaxy s21 that i had was smoother than
this one this one doesn't feel as smooth even though this one is the newer device so i can
kind of understand why people aren't big fans of that exynos chipset now this one gets something
extra compared to all the other galaxy devices i've had in the past this one can actually take
two sim cards at the same time something that you cannot do with the north american samsung devices
so i'm kind of excited about that because this way i don't have to carry two phones with me at all
times as i do now because i do have um two phone numbers so this way i can have two sim cards in
this um device and that brings us to today's video sponsor which is esr they make phone cases they
make screen protectors and camera lens protectors for a brand new samsung galaxy s 22 s22 plus and
of course the s22 ultra they sent me a couple of cases for my s22 and i'm kind of happy to use the
case on my s22 because if you drop a phone like this or a phone like the iphone 13 there is a
very good chance that the phone will break so if you do have a case on it there is a much smaller
chance that the device will get damaged if it falls this clear case here still allows you to
see your phone's color the phone's frame and overall the phone's beauty because this is a
beautiful phone overall but to the case like this you do get some extra protection so on the corners
here we have some extra material so if you do drop the phone on a corner it is better protected
the camera module on the back of the phone so the case is raised just over that camera module
so whenever you're placing the phone down you're not actually touching um the table or whatever
surface you're placing the phone down with the camera so the cameras aren't gonna get scratched
and the same goes for the screen so the case is raised just over the screen so if you do place the
phone down this way you're not actually touching um the screen with whatever surface you're placing
it on and if you need even more functionality from your phone case you can get a clear case that has
a stand built in so this way if you're watching videos or anything like that you can just put a
phone down and the case will hold the phone so you don't actually have to hold it in your hand
so something that could come in handy in many many situations and if you need even more protection
for your phone you can always get the camera lens protector you basically apply this over the camera
module here and this way the cameras aren't gonna get scratched they're not gonna get cracked and
so on so add protection for your device thanks csr for sponsoring this video i will leave some
links in the video description if you wanna check out this case if you want to check out the camera
lens protector and of course some the clear case and now let's go back to our video so what does
the s22 do better than the iphone 13 well there are quite a few things the first one would be the
screen so even though we have the same screen size you do get more screen on the s22 and compared to
the iphone 13 mostly because we don't have that notch then we have a high refresh rate between
the s22 and the iphone 13 so 120 hertz versus 60 hertz now of course you could always buy the
more expensive iphone 13 pro and then you'd have the same refresh rate but then the price would be
much higher on the iphone 13 pro compared to the s22 the screen on the s22 is also a bit brighter
so you can see the screen better in direct sunlight that you can actually see the screen
of the iphone 13 and with this one you also get a in-screen fingerprint scanner and finally this
in-screen fingerprint scanner works decent so you just touch the screen and it unlocks right away
with previous samsung devices i wasn't a big fan of that fingerprint scanner but it seems to be
improved on the s22 the next big difference is on the back of these two devices so on the back
of the iphone 13 we only have two cameras on the back of the s22 we get three cameras so we have
an extra telephoto lens to get a telephoto lens on the iphone you do have to buy the next model which
would be the iphone 13 pro so again you'd have to spend more money to get them kind of the same
now the cameras on the back of the s22 this year are really really good i've actually done a camera
comparison between the s22 and the iphone 13 and for most pictures with the main cameras the
ultrawide cameras and the telephoto on the lens of course the s22 does seem to do better than the
iphone 13. now the iphone 13 does better for video recordings i'm not sure if that has to do the fact
that i have the exynos version of this device but for video recordings yes this iphone 13 is still
better than the s22 so i'm gonna leave a link to that camera comparison in the video's description
or the top right corner if you wanna check it out another thing the s22 seems to do slightly better
just slightly better are the speakers so both devices get dual speakers one of the top one
at the bottom is the same on the iphone 13 but the s22 does seem to have the somewhat louder
speaker so let me play um a couple of songs here on both devices so you can see how those speakers
sound but for me i feel that the s22 does the sound a bit better so let me show you that
again
the s22 also charges a bit faster but the battery life on the s22 is nowhere as good as the battery
life that you're gonna get from the iphone 13. so the iphone 13 you can kind of get about a day and
a half on one charge with the s22 you're gonna have to charge every single day so at the end of
the day this is done but this one i actually have about 40 left so the battery life on the iphone 13
is much better than the s22 even though this one charges a bit slower and the s22 also supports
the reverse and wireless charging the iphone 13 doesn't support that performance wise the iphone
13 has the more powerful cpu so out of the two this is the more powerful device so if you'd be
to run benchmark tests on both devices the iphone will get the higher benchmark scores however in
day-to-day usage you're not actually gonna feel any difference it was kind of the same with last
year's s21 and the iphone 13 you wouldn't really notice a difference for gaming they both do just
as good i mean they both get just as hot and they start throttling games after a while but
for day-to-day usage you're not actually gonna notice a difference even though this is the much
more powerful device as for the eternal battle between ios and android i don't think we're gonna
get into that in today's video we did talk about that multiple times in the past so ios has some
downsides android has some downsides but overall you can still do the same thing on either device
just in different ways and it comes down to how long you've used a system because now i can
actually do everything on the iphone that i can do on this android device so it comes down to how
well you know your device but you can basically do the same thing on both devices so is the galaxy s
22 better than the iphone 13 well yes and no for certain things yes it is better for certain things
the iphone 13 is better so if you have an iphone 13 obviously there is no reason to go buy s22
thinking it will be so much better there is really no reason of buying an s22 even if you have an s21
from last year the s21 from last year is just as good i am lucky that i get to try all these new
phones every single year whenever they come out because a lot of people cannot do that but if you
have a phone that's a year or two years old there is no point in actually buying a new phone because
your current phone is just as good still you can still play all the games on it you can make phone
calls you can do anything that you can do on this brand new phone so keep that in mind maybe
upgrade every three four years because these days phones are that um good all right guys
hopefully this video was um useful thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
