Did I finally find the device that would allow me to leave Apple?

As a tech nerd, I am always on the hunt for the newest tech. I have tried most of the smartphones and some of the dumbphones on the market today. It is a passion of mine and while it can be expensive at times, I have found a way to quench my thirst for new tech while keeping the lights on at home.

The 13 Pro Max was my daily driver for work or whenever I was out for the day and needed the amazing battery life and killer cameras.

I want to compare and discuss the features that most “normal” people use on a daily basis between the S22 Ultra and the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I will use the 10 point must system like in boxing for each category

  1. Build quality . This is an easy one. Both phones are incredibly built. They are big and heavy and super premium. These are the Rolls Royces of smartphones. I can’t give the nod to either as they are both incredible. SCORE 10–10
  2. Screen. The S22 wins this one. It is slightly bigger (6.8” to…
