For the first time ever, Apple released a Plus variant of the iPhone: we are talking about the iPhone 14 Plus. It is not the most advanced model of the 14 series but it is a bigger version of the vanilla iPhone 14, equipped with a bigger battery and a bigger display. A lot of people are wondering whether or not it makes sense to purchase this variant instead of the Pro ones from the same lineup. This is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison with the Pro Max. But there is another Plus phone that you may choose instead of this new Apple handset. We are talking about the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus, another intermediate version. There is no better way to understand which one is the best than a direct comparison. So, here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus and the iPhone 14 Plus!

Design

Even though the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus has a more original design, I personally prefer the design of the iPhone 14 Plus. I prefer it because of its higher build quality. It has a glass back protected by Ceramic Shield and an aluminum frame, with better water resistance than its rival. Thanks to the IP68 certification of this phone, you can put it underwater up to 6 meters deep for 30 minutes without damage. But a lot of people may prefer the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus due to its original look, especially the one of the camera module, and due to the absence of an ugly notch, replaced by a punch hole placed centrally on the display. It is waterproof just like its opponent, but it can be put underwater just 1.5 meters deep without damage.

Display

The display of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus looks better for gamers due to its very high 120 HZ refresh rate. It is an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.6 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, HDR10+ certification, and very high peak brightness, as well as an in-display fingerprint scanner for authentication. The iPhone 14 Plus looks better in terms of image quality. It has a Super Retina XDR OLED display with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1284 x 2778 pixels, the HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, and a 1,200 nit peak brightness. It does not have a fingerprint reader, but it relies on a better authentication method: 3D facial recognition, thanks to the Face ID technology provided by the hardware sensors placed inside the notch.

 

Specs & Software

Even though it comes with a processor from last year, the iPhone 14 Plus is able to provide higher performance thanks to the amazing optimization of the iOS operating system. It is fueled by the Apple A16 Bionic chipset built with a 5 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. The SoC is composed of two Avalanche performance cores running at a max frequency of 3.23 GHz, four Blizzard energy efficient cores running at 1.82 GHz, and a 5-core Apple proprietary GPU, paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of NVMe native storage. The Samsung Galaxy S22 comes in two variants: one with the Samsung Exynos 2200 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz, and another one with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 inside, running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. The processor varies depending on the market and is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage.

 

Camera

If you are looking for the most versatile camera, you should go for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus. It is equipped with a triple rear camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. Unfortunately, you do not get optical zoom with the iPhone 14 Plus, but you get two 12 MP sensors with OIS and an ultrawide lens included.

 

Battery

According to Apple, the iPhone 14 Plus is the iPhone with the longest lasting battery ever. Indeed, it has also one of the biggest batteries ever seen on an Apple phone, with a capacity of 4323 mAh. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus has a bigger 4500 mAh battery, but due to the presence of the Android operating system, the battery life is shorter. On the other hand, it features faster 44W charging tech.

 

Price

The starting price of the iPhone 14 Plus is €1,149/$1149 (prices vary depending on the market), while you need at least €1000 or $1000 in order to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus. Which one would you prefer?
