The Samsung Galaxy S23 series was recently unveiled at the Unpacked event. Undoubtedly, the most striking model among them was the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The phone, which stands out with its performance and capabilities, has also earned the right to be the flagship of Android. So, could the S23 Ultra, perhaps the best Android phone in existence, rival the iPhone 14 Pro? Here are the details…

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Takes Lead over Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

The Galaxy S23 Ultra uses a custom overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC developed in partnership with Qualcomm and Samsung. Additionally, due to the size of the phone, it has more assertive cooling solutions. However, despite being newer and having these features, the S23 Ultra is not able to beat the iPhone 14 Pro. According to CompareDial’s Geekbench test (assuming Geekbench 5), the iPhone 14 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S23 Ultra by 21.02%.

In the single-core performance test, the iPhone 14 Pro received a score of 1,874, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra received only a score of 1,480. The iPhone 14 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S23 Ultra by 21.02%. However, when it came to multi-core tests, the gap narrowed to 14.86%. The iPhone 14 Pro maintained its lead with a score of 5,384, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra received a score of 4,584. Interestingly, in terms of single-core performance, the older iPhone 14 with the A15 Bionic and a 5-core GPU outperforms the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Apple’s success with A-series processors was not a secret anyway. Similar results were obtained in a test conducted last year, and the iPhone 13, which came with the A15, had better scores than the Galaxy S22. In fact, according to the single-core score, the iPhone 13 performs better than the S23 series. However, these tests do not mean that one device is necessarily worse than the other.

Real life use cases are much more important than synthetic testing. Not many of us even manage to push the limits of a mid-range phone. While this shows us how far mobile technologies have come, it reminds us that these tests do not reflect real life. At the end of the day, whether you choose the iPhone 14 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, both phones are great options.
