Did anything surprise you in this test? 🤨 For my iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max Review: https://youtu.be/JwAfHEHQKto

First

Samsung’s super slo-mo

Second

The fact that you’re an Arsenal fan 😁

Sell out

It's genius that these phones always release 6 months from each other so they can't be truly compared. Each release is usually better than the competitor

The 14 pro max is better than the s23

Since you kept referencing the iPhone's 48MP camera, it probably would have made sense to compare it to the Samsung's 50MP mode rather than the 200MP mode. The 50MP mode performs a lot better than the 200MP mode in terms of things like processing time, and I would have been genuinely curious to see how they stack up for daylight photography when MPs are more comparable.

Right, it's like he forgot that feature existed at all.

@Mrwhosetheboss please give us an update of this video with 50mp mode enabled

He didn't even mention the 50mp mode ! I recently read a review of these 2 phones in a camera magazine and they gave it to the samsung.

He's sponsored by Apple, why do you think he'll make an objective assessment?

He seems bias honestly..always rating iphone better in most category while in actual sense its not also whenever samsung seems to be far superior to that category he declares a tie

Just chiming in to say that 200mpx (103mpx for me on the S22U) has its uses not just for print photography, I visit sites for work frequently, and many times I am looking for a detail I didn't think I needed until later, but managed to find it from zooming in on the hi res shot.

200mp is GIMMICK , i tested in indoor and low light 200mp mode vs 50mp mode on x90 pro+ with 1 inch sensor and the lower the light the more details vivo has over samsung, mp is useless on such a small sensor as the one from samsung.

​@@adyady3099I'd rather want Samsung to make a 1 inch, 100 mp sensor than increasing resolution pointlessly.

@@Chopper153 good luck with that, is easier for samsung to bump useless mp on paper than actual do improvements since most average joe will fall for specs on a paper. Samsung became the apple of androids when huawei went down, expect them to milk you for another 5 years until 1 inch sensor.

iPhone won keep crying salty android fanboys cope harder 😂😢😊

​@@ashutoshkureelso what lol?

I wanna share my observation regarding the sound category. Since you mentioned concerts - the iPhone still takes way better and clear video sound at concerts compared to the Samsung s23 ultra. I spent my summer visiting a fair share of concerts in different locations and settings and I have iPhone 14 pro max and Samsung S23 Ultra. Shooting videos at these concerts made it very clear that iPhone is still better for this very narrow niche - video sound at concerts lol

What about quality on video with maximum zoom on concerts? Im searching comparations of iphone vs s23 ultra for video concert because is my job.

@@IluminaelViaje The iphone has always been and will always be way better than a samsung

Stop filming concerts

@@IluminaelViaje to be honest the 10X optical zoom of the Samsung is quite good, the videos are good, vivid, not so much noise. Minus the not so good sound. On the iPhone when i lock the focus of the screen and adjust the exposure I also get very nice quality video plus the way better sound (even when zoomed in 9x digital zoom.)

The amount of work and quality content and testing you put into these videos is insane! Amazing work!

I still think that the s23 is the way to go because all of the photos and the videos look clearer and on the Samsung you can make the photos look even better but that is the same with the iPhone when changing the settings after shot. Also with the Samsung people are probably not too worried about the quality when you zoom up on a specific but it depends on what you are trying to take the photos of and vid.

As a S23 ultra user, I have to say that iPhone has done some good changes to the camera! Really curious to see what samsung is gonna come up with the s24 ultra

Ended Samsung 😂

u

As a life long iPhone used (almost switch to Android around 2016 after been so tired of the 6, 6s and 7 form factor) I salute Samsung's progressions throughout the years. The better Samsung gets, the better my iPhone will become.

Im still a happy s23 user :)

Yeah I honestly can’t wait I don’t have high expectations for video in the s24 but we’ll see😃

I partially agree with this video. I must say that the iPhone never underperforms as heavily in some categories than the Galaxy, but Galaxy's overall colour palette and my needs as a consumer (being that I take many portrait mode photos and photos in good lightning; mostly during daytime) I will still probably be pick the Galaxy. Maybe not the S23 Ultra, but Samsung's next phone!

​@@Fraud-et7vsisnt it apple who uses their processor to buff their images???????

@@ratmemesisnt samsung warming up any photo possible? Isnt samsung modifying your face, not even giving you the option to NOT do that?

The 8K 30 is pretty much a must for me. My s23 ultra works great. So I might actually skip the s24 upgrade this year unless the 8K gets a major bump

I have the S20, so I'm waiting patiently for the s24 ultra to get it.

i have s22 ultra im still happy with it no reason to upgrade to s24

You do have some solid YouTube content on your new channel, but I still fail to understand why you’d need 8k 30. I could see a need for cropping vertically and still having 2k. Or wildlife/sports videography where you’ll need to crop in to get more of the subject in frame. Again, you have some good YouTube content and I subscribed to your new channel.

@@anshubhatia6609I don’t think you’d want 30fps for wildlife or sports. Good question.

I tried the 8k over 4k. I got smoother videos on 4k.

The competition between these brands is just thrilling to watch and talk about. Thanks for another greatly satisfying comparison. You did not talk about build quality though, and also how apple's new design will likely impact durability😪😪. Done typing this review too...on to the next video🚶‍♂🚶‍♂

Why would he mention build quality in a camera comparison ? Have a look at JerryRigEverythings durability test - the pro max fails miserably, the back breaks and the titanium is only on the outside.

00:03 The iPhone 15 Pro Max has improved its camera features, including resolution, night mode, and portrait mode, as well as optical zoom and dynamic range. 01:50 Samsung and iPhone have different approaches to zoom, with each having its strengths and weaknesses. 03:36 Samsung's camera app offers more fun and experimental options compared to the iPhone, but the practical experience feels dated. 05:22 The iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung have similar camera speed and audio quality. 07:05 Samsung and Apple smartphones have comparable portrait modes and improved cinematic and slow-mo features. 08:49 Samsung has an edge in slow-mo and macro photography, while Apple excels in video quality. 10:32 Samsung's video quality is affected by grain in low light 12:20 The iPhone's smart hdr feature captures complex lighting scenarios accurately. 14:06 Daytime photos are the most important category for most people and having more megapixels is a game-changer. 15:52 iPhone's high-res mode is the default option with no compromise 17:34 Got 15% off any orders Hope it helps

As an S23U user. Looking at the features and advancements of the iPhone 15, it seems predictable that the Samsung S24 will also follow Apple path. However, this isn't a negative development, as long as the design remains appealing, they can focus on hardware and software feature enhancements. The competition between Samsung and iPhone certainly benefits us as users

advancements? at 3:20 iphone is better? LMAO

Interesting comparison, it would be even more interesting and fair if the Samsung S23 Ultra was in the latest firmware, and it's not because yours is missing the 2x toggle button in portrait mode. A feature that was available even before the latest updates. Great job, it could be.

I own an s23u and the 2x toggle isnt available for me. Where do i turn it on?

There's no way he didn't do this on purpose. That update has been out for weeks now. He would have had notifications showing a update was ready. The last camera update was massive.

​@@mrunankBatheinstall camera assistant it's in there and make sure you're running the latest update. It only crops the image tho so you can just do it yourself in gallery, it's a pretty pointless setting.

To be fair he could have had it turned off, it's a pretty useless feature as it's just a crop with a bit of AI enhancement.

I had the opportunity to use the S23U for a couple months as I swapped from the 12 pro max to the S23, and recently swapped back to the 14 pro max, and now 15 pro max. Ignoring my terrible financial decisions, I was pretty impressed with both the iPhone and Samsung. What I loved about the Samsung over the iPhone was the manual modes for the camera. On the 50mp mode, I took some phenomenal photos of the night sky that absolutely beat the iPhone, and even at a chance against my own DSLR. Having full control over the camera was pretty neat. However, I wasn’t a fan of having to log into the phone to open proraw, especially when I’m camping, my phone is in and out of my pocket and usually slightly dirty hands. For me - an inconvenience. Not a bad camera! Just didn’t fully line up with what I needed. Back to the iPhone and I can appreciate how quickly and smoothly it works. I recently went camping and rode around in the sand and the action video was remarkably smooth but also crisp. They’re both fantastic. But the iPhone was better for me. If Apple would allow some third party apps to have full control of the camera, notably proraw 48mp with full iso and shutter control; that would satisfy everything I need.

give me some money pls, im broke. i have a samsung A11, its literally taking 720p T^T

😂

Pro MODE and expert Raw mode... something he left out of the equation just because the iPhone doesn't have it 👎🏼

@@YanPagan huh?

The iPhone 15 Pro Max has improved its camera with increased resolution, night mode, portrait mode, and optical zoom. Comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, it performs well in most categories but falls short in skin tones and background blur. However, it excels in vlogging and has better video quality.

the S23U's camera improved dramatically with the August update. I hope the S23U used here had that update otherwise it was trying to compete with one hand tied behind it's back

I don't think so. In portrait mode there was only the ability to zoom 1x and 3x. As far as I know, the possibility to zoom 2x was added in August.

Well that's embarrassing. A lot of the reason the 15 promax won this (barely) was because of the zoomed in clarity being a bit better, but the august update on the S23U dramatically improved this.

Well if you’ve been watching his channel regularly you wouldn’t be asking this. All the phones used are at their max spec with the latest updates.

@@Johnnyaspeche posted it on twitter/x and clarified. some photos taken with the updated software is even worse though

So I do a lot of photography with both my 23 ultra and my pixel 7 pro, haven't gotten my hands on a 15 pro max to be able to compare myself yet, but for my uses (mostly vehicle photography and night sky shots) the s23 ultra has been the best for me, night sky shots I will say the pixel takes the lead on, but the s23 is pretty damn close. But having that 3x lens is perfect, as it is the best zoom to get pictures of cars, without taking any quality hit. I also do some nature photography, and the 200mp camera has helped out a lot with that, the amount of detail is amazing, and has wonderful end results, but mostly only if it is close, within 3-5 feet, then it starts to not be as good

You should get iPhone it’s better

@dt3688  on what basis? I can agree they they do have *some* better qualities, but samsung also has some better qualities. It really goes down to user preference, and I prefer Samsung

As much as improvements have been made to camera hardware and software, at the end of the day a lot of consumers will still prefer the results from one brand over the other. I believe it's more of a stylistic choice, and it also boils down to the consumer's priorities regarding photography.

Duhhhh🤦

​@@Umar_Akmal96repeating yourself in each comment won't change the truth 💀

Well they will admit one company is better than the other for cameras but still be biased because they like their brand🤷‍♂️

I salute the level of commitment and passion through which these contents are made... Kudos to the team behind the efforts... ❤❤❤

Not really - the samsung was not using the latest software and he failed to even mention the 50mp mode, pretty slack to be honest and not up to his usual standard sadly.

Most of the things in this video are Inaccurate

Great video as always Both the phones take great photos but one thing which always surprised me is how iPhones have a really good preview compared to android phones. Honestly that is the only part where I feel android is lacking. Anybody know what is the technical part going on with the preview?

I watched from an S23U and I can say that I'm sad that samsung doesn't do many camera software upgrades, although i do like many stuff that it does and many that it doesn't do. The pro mode on Samsung offers an amazing sensor to work with, but for the auto-processed images I might say that for me the iPhone takes it in terms of night usage. There's always room for competition if it's good competition.

Use the pro mode for night photos. It's amazing

Don't worry most of the time you wouldn't notice. Also the ones he called draw were actually in Samsung's favour.

to be honest, I didn't think much happened in smartphone cameras, but my new Oneplus 11 is SO much better than my 9 Pro before that. And the Samsung impressed me a lot with those images. The iPhone would be much better I thought, but it wasn't the case at all most of the time!

I think it would be important to give the ultrawide camera its own category! Exactly like the other lenses

Not a bad idea! But I do feel that there is still quite a bit of work that has to be done, like improvements on distortion. If not, the comparison between the 2 phones ultrawide camera will be a bit lackluster

Can you give me a 15 pro max

​@@WhyYouLookingAtThisOfficial xd?

FC club 😂

One point on the audio during calls/facetime: iPhone can filter out background noise if you select it(or alternatively have the background enhanced). Swipe down from the top right during a call, select mic mode, select voice isolation or wide spectrum.

I agree because I’ve got that option on my iPhone 12

i found that yesterday after years of iphone lol too bad i just switched back to s23 ultra

Interesting! I'm not a pro photo guy but i do appreciate a stunning pic. I loved my iPhone 11 pro but i hated the photos, they just seemed so dull. The s23u really does a great job with massive pops of colour that makes things look better than life - almost like they are edited. I personally really love that, and i find people are blown away by this phones photos. I wish there was a way to make colours stronger on the iphone

That’s y Apple has vivid mode

You can download apps that allow you to increase the saturation.

I like how you hit pros and cons of both phones justifying each point! Appreciate the great analysis!

He was biased towards iPhone.

@@esthervanda7401he wasn’t just because one wins doesn’t mean he’s biased bro

For this comparison to be fair, the S23U"s software should have been updated, the last couple of software updates have considerably improved photo quality. You can tell the phone's on an older software because in Portrait & photo mode it doesn't have a shortcut to 2X zoom, which is present on current software and takes a crop from the 200Mpx sensor.

You are definitely right man

​@@urosboy2000I'm sure Arun didnt realise that.... 🤔😂 That's sarcasm by the way!

And there should be a baseline to compare it to. For example a picture from an DSLR that shows the true state/image of the day.

Do the video again and fix the Audio. It's not a tie.

Thats right... but then the iPhone could lose 😂

This means that weather you take an android or an iOS phone, you always have access to amazing camera systems. Hope they keep each other on their toes for years to come.

I love how detailed his comparisons are, they tell you exactly which phone is for you!

I feel the exact same

@GodX_Gemmake better videos then

I think you can’t go wrong with a Samsung S23 Ultra or an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both very well made phones. Same price range. I just depends whether you like iOS or Android. Personally I get very confused by Android because I’ve had an iPhone since 2009. But if you prefer Android this Samsung is a very good phone.

Most pics are taken during daytime and relatively good lightning, in that regard I personally prefer the pics Samsung makes and its zoom capabilities. Like its said in the video, I also find the pics more pleasing to look at it

Literally any other camera, open a photo taken in a photo editing app, drag saturation and vibrancy up to your hearts content. Viola S23U

Too much HDR makes the image look flat.

​@@AustinRosswell yes and no. You can't replicate the enhancements the Ai does. I did prefer all iPhone shots more than samsungs. However, samsungs process is dog crap if you actually care about little details. I'd still chose samungs. I use 3rd party apps and the zoom is amazing. Somethings you can't do on iPhone. I record RAW video on my Samsung and God even 1080p quality looks so much better than smasungs app in 4k or even iPhones 4k. Stabilization is lost but im not running or moving much. I use Gcam an apk imitation of Google pixels camera and their hdr and processing is so much better, you don't lose any detail at all.

Zoom is a very overrated feature. 99% of the time you’re not going to use it.

@@spooky.- 99% of the time is what I mostly use

This guy never disappoints🔥

Actually he did with this video. Never I saw him as biased as in this video. I could go on and about how but its too many to mention.

I think a better test will be when the s24 comes out. The s23 is essentially a last gen phone compared to a latest gen phone. The pixel 8 is coming out soon aswell so I would love to see a comparison between the iPhone 15 and the pixel 8 prio

You can say the same thing about the iPhone when the s24 launch, they are half a year apart so someone is always behind

@@theneighborlynumismatist8201i wanted to say the same, when the S24 comes out the iPhone 15 will be almost half year old, as the S23 is here

Nah. This is ideal time to compare. S23U although older has got more time for updates to perfect itself while the 15 pro max is still in it's raw form without any updates. Besides this guy is an apple fanboy so he will somehow give apple the victory even if he compares 13 pro max with S23U lol

@@Lucy_Nyu596bro he literally said the S23U wins over the iPhone 14 Pro Max last year

​@Lucy_Nyu596 yes, that's exactly how I felt. He did great, but some of the areas he made apple and Samsung tie instead of giving Samsung I think was just bias. He wanted the 15pro max to win.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📸 iPhone 15 Pro Max has significant camera improvements: doubled photo resolution, improved night mode, upgraded optical zoom from 3x to 5x. 00:43 🤳 iPhone focuses on natural skin tones, but needs hardware upgrade for selfies. Samsung offers flattering selfies but lacks in video quality. 02:07 🔍 iPhone and Samsung's zoom capabilities differ. iPhone excels in video zoom, Samsung has moments of better photo zoom, but iPhone's wider aperture wins in low light. 03:45 📱 Camera app experience: Samsung's app offers more features but feels clunky. iPhone app has better integration and an action button, but can be fiddly. 06:05 🎤 Audio quality: Both phones capture sound well, but Samsung reduces background noise, sacrificing some lower tones. iPhone captures natural richness but more background noise. 07:56 🖼️ Portrait mode: iPhone offers 24 MP resolution in portraits, allowing better detail. iPhone also allows applying portrait mode after taking the photo, a feature lacking in Samsung. 08:09 🎥 Special features: Both phones offer cinematic mode, slow-mo, and macro mode. Samsung slightly wins in slow-mo, but both are equal in macro capabilities. 10:59 🎥 Video quality: iPhone excels in video HDR, detail, skin tones, and low-light performance. Samsung's video sometimes suffers from grain in low light. 13:06 🌃 Low light performance: iPhone's Smart HDR balances complex lighting scenarios well. iPhone's 24 MP mode captures more detail, especially in low light, giving it an edge. 15:00 ☀️ Daytime photos: iPhone's 24 MP main camera offers more detail and clarity whenzoomed in, giving it an advantage in most daytime photography situations. 16:38 📱 Overall winner: iPhone 15 Pro Max offers superior camera performance with significant improvements in various aspects, making it the better choice in this comparison. Made with HARPA AI

I’m still in awe at the sheer fact that a camera smaller than a palm of a hand can give such a precise and detailed photo, yes most proper cameras are much better, but the fact that such a small camera fit inside a phone not made just for photos (although one of the main features is obviously the camera), it’s definitely not the only thing built into these pretty small phones. And the camera itself for its size, is absolutely astonishing for me

That’s because the camera hardware in itself alone doesn’t provide the excellent outcome but rather the software optimisation processing the information received

@@meyasinmComputational photography has come a long way. I always wondered why nobody offers a full frame camera with this kind of software. This software coupled with a large sensor, same decent glass and eye-AF would surely deliver awesome results. The market for this camera would probably be rather small though.

im not cause last thing i think about in my life is camera size. i have actual problems

I must admit, I definitely love my Samsung camera but the grain is a huge issue. Also, while the 200MP camera for the Galaxy is nice, not being able to use it in modes outside of the default camera does make it a bit tough to have more uses of it.

Same here. I really love what Apple did with the 15 Pro Max. Ill either switch next year or wait until the next Snapdragon S series in europe. Since the next one is exynos again...

@@rezer1st If you are not being able to use a phone for 4-5 years you've totally fell into the trap.

@@Lucy_Nyu596 I always go for upgrades. I want the new thing. Ive never used a phone longer than 2.5 years.

I only shoot in 200mp, don't need any modes other than night which works in 200mp setting (turn scene optimiser on and it automaticaly does it)

YES. I just got the S23+ and I'm experiencing so much grain with photos. It's especially annoying for selfies. The iPhone in comparison is a lot more realistic

The evolution of smartphone notches has been quite interesting over the years. iPhones introduced the concept of notches, setting a trend that Android devices quickly followed. However, Android took it a step further, refining the design by making the notches smaller and introducing innovative variations like the tear-drop notch and punch-hole camera displays. Interestingly, Apple chose not to directly copy Android's advancements and stuck with their notch design for a while. To cover up, they introduced a feature that some critics argue was more of a gimmick than an innovation: the "dynamic island," which, when you think about it, is essentially a stretched-out pattern resembling a punch-hole camera. iphone never want to accept defeat and come up with bullshit stuff to keeps the fools occupied for a couple of years, literally any android phone can have a dynamic island anywhere on their screen 😂

I go for Samsung serve my purpose budget friendly . The features in the phone depends on the user ability so last it comes to pricing as majority of the people wouldn't loose their mind on the small hand palm device .

I am certain this is the closest Samsung has ever been to the newly released iPhone in terms of camera performance in a very long time. Most of the years I would expect a complete wipe-off of Samsung by Apple and even though the score is still very much reminiscent of the results of previous years' camera comparisons, the performance difference when it comes to each mode is a lot less significant than it used to be. In most of the previous years, I would expect a certain feature (video for example) to be a no-brainer when it came to the comparison as the iPhone made the Samsung look like it was multiple generations behind, but now, honestly, even though the iPhone still wins, the gap is a lot less than it used to be (except for in low light performance - which is atrocious on Samsung's part 💀). I believe it is a testament to how seriously Samsung has taken it upon themselves to improve the camera performance (especially video) on their flagship and this is reflected in the path the company has taken when comes to the more superficial things, such as design for example. Just use what works. The s22 looked pretty sleek and there would be nothing that they would try and change about that design instead focusing on where they've been lacking for the past several years.

Hey 👋 you won

If i was in Samsungs shoes, i would leave the phone design exactly the same! It is just soooo good there is no need for a change at least for one more generation. Then, they could add the features that iphone added and just focus all the extra time and effort into integration. I think s24 ultra is going to be revolutionary and not just in pixel counts.

I'm impressed. The biggest improvement I observed is in the iPhone's noise reduction, which kinda took em years to finally do something about it. I'm curious now whether the upcoming Pixel 8 series is gonna slacken on their noise reduction as well and let the iPhone beat the Pixel in cleaner low light photos, for the first time. Can't wait for that comparison.

After years and years and years Android phones still take mostly grainy videos. It's an issue still not fixed so what is taking Google and Samsung so long?

​​@@lamar310my guess would be no photonic engine. If I remember correctly only the iPhone Chips have a specific segment inside of them that is dedicated to taking photos and videos. That's why I think photos take in general more to process on Android. It's interesting why they don't build one as well or my guess is completely wrong and it's something else.

You know that pixel is a thing?

and the 23ultra is still better lol that is crazy

It's beautiful to see the S23 Ultra still holding up. The iPhone is refined and brings details and so does the S23 Ultra at different intervals. One can only wonder what S24 Ultra will do with their annihilating Dex technology and S-Pen that gives them the edge over phones. I'm an avid Xiaomi user eyeing the Xiaomi 13 Pro with its great Tech and wondering what the 14 Pro will do. Much love to our community of Vivo & 1Plus.

still holding up? its not even a year old lol

Still holding up ? Bud s23 ultra is a flag ship phone wtf are you on about 😂

@@saiporeddy7303 Yeah it was a humble way of not offending our iPhone friends hence i moved to the S23 Ultra Dex Technology which no phone comes closer to. I have n't even mentioned the multi window dynamics.

​@THETRUTHofYOUTUBE he means the iPhone is brand new upgrade with improvements and the older s 23 ultra is still holding up to it

@@jasonelliot9633 I know what he means. It’s still not even a year old it better hold up being their top of the line phone lol

I don't really care about comparing these two brands, I'm just admiring how technology has improved so much.

Always a Fabulous job on this Channel and Content for these companies and others as well great information keep sharing but i feel it doesn't really matter this comes down to personal choice from those who know what they like and pricing you can go over this competition time and time Again most people dont care they know what they eant from their phones and no matter what the other does they have no interest in the brand so just to say its Definitely Always what you want an especially those who have used a Certain Cellphone for years its Nothing wrong with comparison just it doesn't matter to a lot of people their Choice is their choice anyway great job again until the next updates stay safe God Bless All Amen 🙏

The thing that i still prefer on Apple over Android counterpart is video recording, its really night and day difference. A place which i hope android companies will focus more on

I've never owned an iPhone and much prefer Android and currently have the S23 Ultra. Camera quality is super important to me in choosing a phone. My question when I watch is whether the iPhone cameras are "better enough" to make me consider switching. It does look like the 15 Pro Max is probably the best all around, but the differences aren't enough to tempt me to make the change. Well done iPhone, but I'm still not ready to go to the dark side :)

I am currently stuck between these 2 phones going from a S21 Ultra, the decision it so hard this time round!

Check out other reviewers not bought out by Apple. The S23 ultra still takes better pictures. Another thing is that this comparison was made without the newest August update for the S23 which improves on the camera

I went S23 ultra, it's amazing 🤩

Really liked this comparison! Possibly consider giving the ultra-wide its own category. Thanks!

I agree

Been using both and both have problems. Grey blacks on Samsung are obviously coming from shadow recovering, easy to fix, edit photos and increase contrast. High noise is actually result from oversharpening which is awful on Samsung. However, portrait mode on Iphone is usless ( Imean works only in bright daylight), phone can't detect what is supposed to be blurred, so constantly ask to move closer just to say you are too close. Samsung phones started doing it after they switched to 100mpx sensors, but still can be worked around by just taking camera off the subject and back on. Still, not as good as it was with Note 9.

I recently got S23U, and I am pretty happy about it. Personally, I needed super zoom to capture the video or picture of my dog when she runs around several acres of land, and I wanted to stay with samsung just because I have other smasung products (watch, book 3, and earbuds pro.) Both phones are equally superb.

as a cinematographer, too much dynamic range goes wrong on the s23 ultra's rare camera an average dynamic range from both phones would be perfect. 💯 but the s23's selfie is the best so far

ive been using samsung Ultras since the S20. Each year ive found myself using the max megapixel mode less and less to create a good looking pic. I think i've only used it twice this year since getting an S23 ultra on day1 vs using it every day back in the S20 ultra days.

Samsungs goal is clear. They want to prioritize processing speed and power and, of course, the onboard display. The camera pretty much takes a back seat, almost an afterthought even, as they want to only keep pace with Apple.

Like so many things I love how complex the comparisons really are. Really does come down to what people want to do with it. That night mode stuff is crazy these days though, both camps are scary good.

I can't wait to get a camera comparison between the iPhone 15 pro and the Google pixel 8 pro! Think that will be very interesting

Can we all just stop and take a second to give this guy a slow, golf clap👏! The work and effort that goes into these video's in such a short amount of time is insane! It does not go unnoticed. His work ethic would be very hard to beat.

And same goes for his team, he can't do it all by himself.

You know you can do such "fun stuff" with the original iPhone camera app too? If a photo is taken in live mode, you can select effects like long exposure, loop, bounce when viewing the photo. Surely not as big choice as on Android but it works ;-)

I do understand S23 Ultra released 6 months ago but here’s the thing what are we gonna compare to 15 Pro max if not S23 Ultra for now. Aron is totally unbiased while comparing ❤

If you like warmer tones in your iphone photos try choosing the photographic style 'warm' in the settings of the camera app

For me, the biggest thing about 15 pro lineup is that it has a lot of things in normal mode. 14 pro can also take Live Photos, high res photos and portraits, but not at the same time. With 15 pro, you get all three with just one shutter press in normal mode

Iphone is trash

Right. That's literally just a software thing you realize this right?

@@beyondthedetails and an ability to process it as such, software needs to be run...

@@tylorsmith7580 such a nuanced opinion you have there.

@@Umar_Akmal96 What are you even talking about?

Honestly, Apple takes it this time around. I was pretty disappointed to see nothing new on the 15 Pro but the camera at least has taken a significant step forward over the S23U. Time for Samsung to hit back with the S24U, it's us consumers winning.

Efforts put into a single video … is phenomenal 🎉

Looking forward to the Pixel 8 Pro camera battle! 😎

Making you're own concert just to test the cameras is genius great reviews as always!

Any chance of raw image capture? My S21 let's me capture raw photos on wide and regular, not the 64 megapixel camera. Really hard to find details of this nature, but with Lightroom mobile, I really value raw.

what i love is the fact that both phones release 6 months after eachother, which makes impossible to compare as each release does it better. I cant wait to see what the s24 ultra has in store for us.

I use iPhone, but i hope Samsung focuses on software now, they've got the hardware so far, but really falls on software. Apple will always have an edge on this due to the fact that they produce their own chips and can tailor them perfectly. But either way both have extreme quality now.

​@@Umar_Akmal96I think your country has much bigger problems than comparing cricketers to the point where democracy no longer exists. How about you address those first then we will sit and compare people.

@@itsyaboishiba Samsung used to produce their own chips too... they just weren't as good lol. Though I agree, Samsungs have better hardware underneath but if they had the same software control as iPhones do, this would be a no-brainer for Samsung. At the very least, the latest snapdragon chips are comparable to the iPhone's A series chips for the same year. When historically they have been a bit behind... I think that now that there's less of a gap there, there can be more improvements to come.

I hope this would not increase the price tag. Currently Samsung outsource a lot of its software to google/alphabet by using Android. This is what allows them to spend more money on the hardware.

I would imagine it's gonna be a similar situation. Samsung seems to be somewhat slow when it comes to the camera when compared to Iphone and other Android phones.

I feel like both companies should work together to make an absolute beast of a phone.

You're just amazing Arun. I don't think even Apple and Samsung may think of the details the way you do. Your way of doing an analogy between these two phones or any other phones is quite impressive and excellent and I haven't seen any other tech guru on YouTube explaining in detail.

I came into this genuinely curious about this, and as someone who knows what they want in photos I prefer apple in almost every category here, it seems to be much more natural than the Samsung phone. Im pleasantly surprised with this.

As a long time Samsung user, im really impressed by the new iPhone! Ill be switching to the IPhone 15 Pro Max when im able to

You will love it. The 5x lens is ridiculously good at portraits

I think the photographic styles is underrated on iphone cuz if you want warmer photos you can change it to that

Arun never disappoints especially when it comes to camera comparisons

@@Umar_Akmal96 so??

I loved the one where he compared every iPhone camera ever!

​@@Umar_Akmal96Er what???

I totally agree with your comparison. I‘m a hardcore apple user but still like the phones Samsung makes. What I don‘t like about the Samsung camera is, that the colors are too overpowered and don‘t give that natural look the IPhone does. I really like taking photos of the nature and these overpowered unnatural green grass colors on the Samsung are a big part of my decision that the IPhone camera is better.

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a lot of grain in my photos on the s23+ I have just bought. The iPhone was a bit less flattering (I have acne), but I appreciate that I look like me and the photos are realistic. I do prefer the OS of Samsung though

You should include a category for using the flash light on the phones to take photos :) Apples flash are double the size it seems!

portrait should definitely have been Samsung, it quality is much better and in a section about portraits the added perk of not using portrait mode doesn't mean much(also Samsung absolutely dominates in ultra-wide photos, there should've been some attention on that)

I still see it as too close to call. Both have their good points. You tend to point out iPhone pluses in a picture, like more stars, and ignore the minuses like the tree in the same photo. I do like iPhones ability to get colors right in low light. Samsung really needs to work on this. And I think the 3x and 10x is a better system than the 5x. But it really depends on what you typically shoot in this case. I think is is easier to punch up the colors in an iPhone post processing than to back them down from the Samsung. But if you don't want to do any post processing, then you probably prefer the Samsung. Samsung needs to back down the the color just a touch.

im pretty sure the iphones standard camera is there to capture as real to life as possible. you can apply photographic styles in settings to make it warmer or cooler, or more vibrant/poppy etc.

Would have been interested in seeing Samsungs 50mp option included in this comparison too. Ultimately though I think these camera comparisons are becoming less and less relevant. They are both more than enough for 90% of users and the day to day shooting they'll do. And if you're someone who's actually pixel peeping and looking at colour correction etc., then you're probably not shooting auto mode anyway and better of shooting manual/RAW and editing colour/light yourself.

Also none of these reviewers used the 2x mode on Samsung which added in the last update

u mad apple won

@@kxngoxar6584 ​ why are you so aggressive i swear every apple user is like a small loud angry dog

I've noticed that YouTubers who discuss mobile phone video recording never mention the jittery effect that occurs when panning left to right. It seems that the phone camera's shutter speed may be the culprit. It's frustrating to see video examples that are either in slow motion or completely still like a webcam, as this doesn't accurately represent the normal video experience. It's crazy that phone manufacturers or reviewers aren't being honest about this common issue when promoting new models. Personally, the jittery effect makes me feel dizzy. It would be great if someone could ever address this problem.

I love how everyone is respectful to one another in the comments, anyone who understands tech knows both the phones are phenomenal and there truly is no better one out the two, it totally comes down to personal preference.

Yeah but the s23 ultra new software update makes a huge difference on photos. Literally almost everything they speak on the new update is just about the camera and photo processing.

It would be so much better if you did these comparisons on the base models. I couldn't care less about the ridiculous versions I just want to know how the more common everyday phones compare

I didn’t realise how “fake” the Samsungs photo and videos were till now! They change the colours to look “poppy” sooo much! Whereas Apple shows it as it is which I personally appreciate more, any things I want changed I can do myself afterwards until then I’d prefer as close of a resemblance to what I’m looking at for my photos and videos

Nice Comparison. I find it interesting that you've done comparisons for 24mp vs 12mp and 48mp vs 200mp and completely skipped the 50MP mode on the Samsung. The S23 Ultra takes pretty good daytime picks at 50MP which are often better than default 12mp picks. i.e. less compression or jagged edges from over sharping. The 50MP photos are also better than the 200MP photos Samsung should take apples lead and make 50mp the default resolution. I would have liked to see comparisons between 24MP vs 50MP and 48MP vs 50MP. Oh, and we forget that HEIF format is not widely supported on non Apple devices and require exporting as JPG.

Ok let's wait for s24

Yes.he is supporting for iphone

​@@karan-90 yes 📈📈

He is the most Biased vlogger for Iphone to the point it is sickening already that it is so obvious he is being paid by Apple.

he is biased. giving drwas when ever samsung is winning

In 10 category, it seems to me that the S23 wins, the difference in detail between 12 and 24 megapixels is minimal, and if you really need to take a good photo of something distant, then there is a 50 and 200 megapixel mode, and even more so a 3 and 10x zoom for this. And in my opinion, S23 is better in terms of colors.

I aggggreee withh uuu

Zoom is a pretty useless feature. 99% of the time you’re not going to use it.

@@spooky.-true that

​@@spooky.-wrong, i use Zoom all the time

He needs to pay the bills you know... and apple pays more in that regard 😉 So that's why some of the points he made for the iphone are just outright ridiculous

Most of the times I did prefer how the colors look on the s23 but samsung is still very behind iPhone when it comes to video and audio quality however both phones look great and the avarge user doesn't really notice all these details and for the not so avarage user both options are still great and it was a bit biased to give the camera app point to iPhone when samsungs had like 2x more features and tweaks and users like features most of the times I actually find out new features when im bored and using my phone that I've owned for quite a bit and still get shocked like "oh I can do this" it's such a nostalgia.

If you’re a content creator, then you can make any camera work in your favour❤ just don’t think about the quality & start creating!!

Looking forward to these videos every year. :D Well done!

Honestly a draw for me. I prefer Samsung's colours though. Iphone definitely has an aestheticly pleasing design and has great cameras but it doesn't make sense when you're not in their ecosystem. Maybe in a couple of years i'll order the Iphone15 but I just ordered the S23.

The default 24mp on the iPhone is something I've wanted for a long time on my Samsung! Being able to crop in a picture afterwards is very useful. The 50mp would be the perfect candidate for that: you have a high-resolution shot that still benefits from pixel-binning. I'm glad that Apple finally innovates again (yes, i used that word...😮) , because now Samsung will be forced to make his high-resolution modes behave as a default mode. Although the S23 Ultra could do it (the Snapdragon should be good enough to do that kind of processing), I suppose it'll only be implemented on the S24 Ultra. In any case, competition will always be good for the consumer, so it's good to see Apple working a little harder.

Smart thinking dude

@@slytherin1Minecrafter77Dragon thank you! I just hope that Samsung offers something similar to the s23 ultra owners. Its advertising has relied a lot on the 200mp sensor (and the 50mp mode, that many expected to be the sweet spot) , and we end up taking most of our photos at a lower resolution than iPhone owners.

The s23 ultra can shoot in binned 12mp, binned 50mp and native 200mp modes so not only have samsung already done it they've done it with 3 choices to apples 2. You can also shoot in 200mp mode and then remaster the picture in the gallery app which outputs a 16mp image.

@typos1477  you're totally right, and i use those modes. I love them. I just hope that Samsung will make one of them available as a default mode (usable with portrait mode, with no extra processing time, like the 12mp, basically). That would be the next step. If Apple can do it... Samsung can.

to be honest as a regular user s23 ultra pics just look better i don't care about the fine details you need a nice pic you get it thats what matters maybe it would be different for photographers but for the normal person i'd choose the s23 as for cameras and for the phone as a whole

As a tattoo artist, with mostly indoor lit evening photos of tattoos, as phone cameras have gotten better, they have gotten worse for tattoos, higher res picking up more glare and skin texture than our eyes and making the tattoos harder to read. With my new iPhone 15 pro, it seems to have taken some of that out and given some closer to what I’m seeing in person images. Huge step forward for us tattoo artists at least! I also came from a Samsung s21 Ultra.

I don't think you mentioned that the iPhone 15 Pros' video recording glitch still exist from 13 and 14 Pros' As you're recording and when you move closer to the subject, there's still that 'skipping' effect when the phone changes lens to keep the object in focus... Also, has Apple fixed the 'no pause' option when you're recording a video on the stock iOS?

@user-uc2ke2me6q That's why I unsubscribed because he's always biased with Apple products. 💯 Just look at how many subscribers Apple have compared to Android... I think not to offend any Apple fan boys and girls as he's trying to overtake Apple subscribers (he mentions that in his videos)... 😅

@user-uc2ke2me6q I think he explains in his own little way to make sure Apple products (eg, I tried switching from iPhone to Samsung [he didn't even choose the S23 Ultra] & Mac vs Windows video) to make sure the Mac Book Air is superior...

What about battery life? Did any of them drain like punctured tire while you were using it? I found Samsung tends to heat up as you did film and battery went down quite fast. Any big differences on that front? "Best camera" phone should last full day of sightseeing/photos and videos without any IV refueling it midday.

Camera Assistant has added the 2x cropped zoom mode on the S23 Ultra and is it quite decent, I wonder whether Samsung gotta add the 4x 12MP cropped zoom from the 200MP sensor and add the 24MP default mode only with software updates now that the hardware is 200MP after all.

Yeah but pretty pointless - you can just crop it yourself

@@typos1477 the good thing about this feature is that it does not sacrifice the extreme shutter lag from the 200Mp and 50MP mode

@@HaroNg3971 what ?

@@typos1477 there is no shutter lag when we use this agorithm

@@HaroNg3971 ah ok, your reply suggested the opposite the way you worded it !

The amount of work that must have gone into editing this video... huge props to you guys, keep it up. Great video.

In fairness, Apple does pay a lot for these reviews, so they had a large budget.

I am sure new iPhone pro max is best that apple has to offer and but for me 10x zoom still takes a cake for day light photos which I mostly use. I remember the other day we went to zoo and with s23 ultra everyone wanted me to send them the captures. Yes they mostly had 14 pros to be specific.

Great review as always,I must say apples ios is best I have been using for years but I have both because one is good in somethings and other in another.

What the s23 is shooting is real color data and what apple is doing is color correct. For example, the reason why we see the read on the green grass for S23 is because its is ambiance of whatever shade of light from behind the camera. it catches all those colors. Apple too catches those colors as well, but uses reference green caught on the grass to fill in the grass without the read shade. So the reality is which phone has the AI photo processing you want really.
