A Galaxy S22 Ultra battery life test shows the new Samsung flagship is no match for the iPhone 13 Pro Max — or the S21 Ultra.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is the most expensive phone that Samsung is releasing this month, so it makes sense that it’s being compared to the most expensive iPhone. We already saw the iPhone 13 Pro Max crush the Galaxy S22 Ultra in benchmarks, although that didn’t surprise anyone. However, we wondered whether or not the iPhone 13 Pro Max would be able to keep its battery life endurance title after setting new records last fall. The Galaxy S22 Ultra packs a larger battery pack than the Max and features a few technologies to improve efficiency. It turns out that the Galaxy S22 Ultra battery can’t match the iPhone 13 Pro Max. In fact, it doesn’t even outlast the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Last year’s Galaxy S21 Ultra was the phone to beat in battery life tests. The phone scored 8 hours and 41 minutes in YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss’s test. But then came the iPhone 13 Pro Max with its record-setting 9 hours and 52 minutes. That was an incredible performance from the handset and a significant accomplishment for Apple. All of a sudden, an iPhone with a 120Hz display was ready to deliver better battery life than all its competitors. The Galaxy S22 Ultra features several technologies that should help it conserve battery life.
