The display size and resolution are also different; at 6.8 inches and 1440 x 3200 px respectively, you'll get more screen real estate with your Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G than with its 6.7 inch and 1284 x 2778 px counterpart on the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G vs iPhone 13 Pro Max: who wins?

In terms of chipset and processor speed, RAM capacity, operating system design - both devices have similar specs - but overall when it comes to technical specifications we'd say that overall that Samsung's offering is better than Apple's due to its higher camera quality and longer battery life as well as larger display size & resolution..
