The IT and media experts analyzed that this result came because the modem performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon eighth-generation chipset adopted by the Galaxy S22 Ultra is far superior to that of the iPhone 13.
The modem that is included in the first generation of Snapdragon 8 is the X65 5G Modem, on the other hand, the Modem used by iPhone 13 is Qualcomm’s previous-generation product, referred to as X60.
If we compare the two devices using the same generation processors the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G surpassed Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro Max which features the same X60 Modem.
Looking at this Apple could possibly replan to have X65 Modem in the iPhone 14 series of smartphones, which is scheduled to be unveiled last this year.
According to us, this will surely help Samsung to usher in new heights, after breaking the record of selling more than one million S22 smartphones on its home ground. Now have more possibility to create more records on the American ground.
