I've used both but I'm enjoying the overall camera system on the S23Ultra. The zoom is what really wins me over. Watching my kids play soccer, track, and basketball..the zoom comes in clutch! 4k at 10x optical zoom is unmatched! Also I love all the other options, really liking the 50mp mode, seems to be the best of both worlds.
This is why I love your videos also about smartphones: The photographer perspective and not the usual Tech RU-vidr perspective. I'm a photography and tech geek and use the 14 pro, but sold my S22 Ultra and I also like the Pixel 7 Pro I've used for 6 months. I like these phones for different reasons. In the end I have the most fun with my Xperia 5 IV as daily driver and to take photos (with a real shutter button *love it*) and making videos on it. The processing is so much more natural and I have all the controls in my hand and even in the "BASIC" mode, you can still point & shoot if needed in a hurry and the post-processing is doing it with less magic compared to the Samsung/Apple/Google devices, but they catching up with every generation but still keeping it more natural look. On the Pixel, iPhone and the S22/23 ultra it is boring over time. Just press the shutter button on those devices and the post-processing is doing the magic...and many times with overprocessing and too social media oriented. Not bad in certain situations, but like I said: BORING :) Keep your great work and your amazing chemistry :)
With 4x4 pixel binning, it's not clear how much value you'd get out of the Samsung 200-megapixel raw file. In my tests I saw no real resolution improvement over 50MP shots. Samsung uses AI to interpolate the RGB color values for each pixel in those 16-pixel patches, so there's a lot of processing even before the demosaicing and oversharpening and oversaturation. But yes, I still wish I could pixel peep all the way at the 200MP raw files. I also agree about the overprocessed Samsung raw. One big difference for me: Apple lets you take raw photos with all its cameras, not just the main, wide-angle camera. The telephoto cameras on the S23U would be better if you weren't locked to HEIC/JPEG formats.
Ive been ok the Samsung ultra Bandcamp ever since jumping ship from my Lumia 950 as windows phone apps started shutting down. The S23 Ultra has delivered my best ever results from a phone camera. Granted, I use the zoom lenses way more than the 200mp mode.
Finally The first video on the whole of RU-vid that I will actually trust as I know you know everything there is to know about cameras. The 200mp and 8K is a gimmick. The 8k video looks very crisp yes, but it’s full of imperfections when blown up onto a full sized TV, and that 200mp sensor is also a gimmick. With that little lens you’d be lucky to show 20mp worth of resolution. A 30mp 5D mkiv DSLR would walk all over it in image quality and technically has over 6 times less mega pixels. I use my iPhone for its simplicity and unbeatable video quality, then if I want to take the best photos, I’ll use my DSLR. The iPhone takes photos I cannot argue with for a phone. Obviously the Samsung has better zoom capability past 10X, as it has a dedicated lens. However up until 10X which is a more useable focal length the iPhone takes the better shots. The 48mp on the iPhone is also far more useable in 90% of scenarios than the 200mp of the Samsung.
Awsome video like always. I would like the same truth video about a comparison between the best phones photos and the best cameras (for instance a medium format Fuji or hasselblad) Comparing resolution and dynamic range,. Night photography, low light photography, on a tripod, without tripod etc So sick of those RU-vid videos pretending phone photos Equal best real cameras. Please put in évidence when cameras destroy phones and when phones make photography easier
One of the most brilliant marketing terms I ever heard was from the 1988 film Arthur 2: On the Rocks. -This apartment has I.O.L. in every room! (Instant On Lighting)
ExpertRAW is more like a more flexible Auto mode. Pro mode allows you to take true RAW bayer snaps that not only are truer to what the sensor is capturing initially but also more flexible. I much prefer it to both ProRAW and ExpertRAW. It would be nice if you could compare those.
I love my iPhone 14 pro max and the raw photos are really good and video is a clear winner for me..Overall I think they are the best cameras on a smartphone so far..
Very nice video, which prompted me to get both devices. Could you do a comparison video of the most recent Google Pixel 8 Pro to these two awesome devices? And please keep the awesome content and friendly competitions coming.
I have to interject my experience with my new G23 Ultra, vs my Note 10+ camera. 1. Yes, its sharper, but slightly over sharpened. 2. The colors are so over saturated in the G23, that if you have a blue sky with bright greenery, the colors become almost fluorescent, and quite hilarious. You would need to take the same pic on the note 10+ and edit the pic with +35 saturation boost to achieve the G23 result. Just the other day I was video calling mom with Google Meet, and she looked so red in the face she looked like one of the 7 dwarfs. She wasn't very happy, rather grumpy when I told her. In all other regards the G23U smokes the Note 10+ camera.
The best camera is the one that’s in your hand. I’ve missed 3 shots that would have been notable from a photojournalistic standpoint. Cellphones are there when you need them!
I have the iPhone 14 Pro, and I'm curious how it compares to an old DSLR, say the Canon 5D with 24-70mm lens? Have modern sensors and computational photography in the iPhone 14 Pro allowed it to surpass old DSLRs? It's definitely much easier to take a smartphone hiking and out and about compared to a DSLR. Totally apples to oranges comparison, but it's something I've wondered about.
My daughter has the iPhone 13 pro, not sure if the camera is the same as in the 14, but I guess it probably is and both my Nikon DSLRS blitz it for photo quality. Once you get the photos onto a big screen you will see the difference, especially in the detail and colours. Close ups not as big difference but still there is a difference, but if you are zooming or using in low light the DSLRS are way ahead. Doesn't mean to say the iPhone is not a good substitute for a DSLR as for simply sharing on social media or if you are just doing some close up photography or general landscape photography it will be more than suitable. If you are serious about wanting to get the best shots that you can without having to spend time doing lots of editing after then DSLR all the way. Depends what you want from your photography and how you wish to show off your photos. But nowadays for most average users any smartphone will take more than satisfactory photos, except when it comes to zooming in on objects a long way off, especially wildlife they are not even close to say a DSLR with a long zoom lens attached to it. I know I have a 600mm lens exactly for the purpose of capturing wildlife clearly even from a long way off.
At face value a phone photo will look good, but the detail will never be as good as a DSLR simply because of sensor size. If you are looking to print your photos, I would use a DSLR. Otherwise, a phone camera will do just fine for most uses. I have an Instagram where I post my pictures for my friends to see, and they can never tell which ones are taken with my phone or my DSLR (Canon 90D)
The crop sensor on my ancient Nikon D 300 12 megapixel is far better than my 14 Pro Max or my daughters S 23 ultra, is physics there's nothing you can do about that
Even 48 Megapixels is overkill. Sure you might get a sharp image, but at the end of the day the camera sensor is still small and the lenses are subpar( vs high end camera lenses) so you can't create the same natural look and Bookah you could from say an old Fuji 16mp X-T10 + Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 lens
3:33 you still have iPhone 14 on the screen on the right when you were comparing the 200mp to the 50mp mode on the Samsung, just in case people were thinking it was the iPhone performing that badly lol.
Had both and returned the s23 ultra. I felt the s23 ultra is by FAR a better standalone device overall but like you stated, ecosystem. As far as cameras, I felt the s23 ultra to be more versatile and fun to shoot with and the IPhone was more consistent in the results. The shutter “lag” on the s23 ultra also posed a problem with moving subjects, creating soft and sometimes blurry results. Camera is really important to me and with the consistent and more reliable results, I chose iPhone. I REALLY wish the iPhone had 10x optical!
S23 ultra has option for reducing shutter lag. I think this is disabled by default because many people moves the phone when clicking the shooting button
@ Question: The phone with the least patronising! Having arbitrary aesthetic choices forced down my throat is a no go! The best is you apparently having a good time with this, and having a relaxed look at what looks good and what bad!
Personally I use my iPhone 14 Pro Max camera generally for close to midrange photos in daily life - pics of friends, interesting things nearby, maybe sunsets, etc. I don't generally use it for photos really far away that would require the longer lens. It would be epic to have of course - don't get me wrong. I have a Sony A1 that gets used when I'm serious about taking a photo - but obviously that isn't with me every time I'm out like the phone is. The iPhone and its user Apple interface is pretty satisfying for what a phone camera gets used for in my daily life - I am excited to have the RAW photo option and higher megapixels. Having had every iPhone since the beginning I can honestly say they are now approaching a satisfying image compared to a few years back. I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the 4K 60p video on the iPhone 14 as well. 8K will be a game changer in my opinion on the next versions - especially since you can take still frames from 8K that are very acceptable (at least on my other cameras). I totally love your reviews and vids! Your channel is the one I go to first for reviews. Very well done and informative - and done with style and flair. I've learned SO much from you both. BTW you both get BETTER LOOKING every year... Maybe you should do a review of your anti-aging regimes. NOW if I can get my new iPhone 14 Pro Max to quit randomly restarting throughout the day I might be totally satisfied with it...
I love the zoom on S22U, I was at concert and my friend has S22U, the videos better than mine (Iphone), I'll get my s23Ultra soon 😊 I want to try oneui 5 too
Just save your money and always go to VIP where you are closer to the artist😂 iPhone ultra is also coming…or just get 2nd hand samsung s23 ultra. S22 has too many problems in battery and overheating etc
I've been a Samsung user a long time. I've had friends and family use my phone for pictures over there iPhone. And the night shot is a vary useful tool to have. And I love being able to shoot the moon at night
Honestly Samsung looks like it's over sharpened the problem with the Samsung is that it over compresses the photos edits them too much uses too strong of noise reduction and Edge sharpening is way too high
I’m sorry but this is not only an awful comparison, it’s also an awful display of what both devices can do from the pro level which many pro film makers and pro photographers have shown properly on their channels. This is just not a good example of what they can actually do at all.
I've been waiting for this 200mp review.. I was guessing wasn't genuine 200mp but all down to software processing...Nice...got some cool features though...thanks for sharing
I feel the Samsung totally removing the stars in the elapsed photo is just a No even if it seemed to work slightly better overall. I don't feel comfortable having my camera deciding on its own what to remove like those stars in the time elapse. I have split feelings all over the place on both of these cameras except if just wanting something handy.
Hi Tony and Chelsea- I came across an article in Verge dated Mar 13 that claims that Samsung’s moon photography feature is basically AI computational creation and not really an image as most of us would agree on. Have you seen the article and do you have an opinion on it that you would like to share with us. And would it it change your opinion of your Samsung phone in general? Thanks for your good work on your channel and your educational work.
I'm sorry this is missing a lot of crucial details on the S23U. The best raw is in the Pro part of the core camera app. In addition, if you download Samsung Camera Assistant from Samsung Apps you can reduce the sharpening in image post-processing. This review is definitely skewed towards Apple and not objective enough.
Very much enjoyed this video. Thanks to you both. There is something called quickshare (samsung) and nearby share (every android including samsung) that works like airdrop. Samsung works great with windows just like iphones work with mac.
14:00 Yup, in terms of detail, both those cameras are about 10MP of details. Everything else is marketing and it's sad when people believe it. Because of the oversharpening even baked into the raws, I know know I must about Samsung for photos.
I found 200mp mode at ISO 10 does compete with my R5 with RF24-70 at F4 in the center. But I don't know what resolution that lens has, could be worst at 24mm. Also details decrease fast for the phone after ISO 100 and more.
I was glad that iPhones were finally going to switch over to USB-C this year. I get that they were being forced to by the EU, but it was about time. But then it turns out that Apple decided to 'Apple it Up' and have made it so that you need to have specific Apple cables in order to use the USB-C. And on top of that, it's no faster than Lightning Cable was. It uses USB 2.0 speeds. Kind of tired of Apple screwing over people for the sake of it. As far as the phone cameras go, I don't really care too much. I agree the megapixel counts are marketing and as long as they can get the shot, great. But I only ever use my phone camera to take pics of things like small print so that I can embiggen the letters and read them. Or maybe scan a QR Code. If I want to take pics, I'm using my Sony A7iv to do it.
I'm an iPhone user and I'm more than happy with the lighting port. I don't want a USB-C port on an iPhone. I've never had a problem with lightning ports and if you look closely at the physical design of both you'll find that the lightning design is a more durable design.
@@andrewhammett4805 Depends, as with all full auto modes luck is involved. And often if you raise shadows in that fake raw it looks like a jpg. It denoises well, but I prefer a little noise and some more details from the real raw files.
Apple has Air Drop which is proprietary, BUT Samsung has the new Quick Share which simply creates a link that ANYONE can use to download any size files on any device with a simple click. Suck it Apple!
Here is the problem. The latest camera update Ruined the 200MP mode. Before there was no sharpening. Everyone is complaining about it. Techyonion showed the before and after. Samsung need to put back the old camera processing for 200MP. It would be par with the Sony.
Bro i'm coming from that video as well. Samsung totally ruined the 200mp camera with the last camera update. Hopefully there's a way to roll back to the previous version
You guys did the review at the wrong time. If you see how good the 200MP was before the last update, search techyonion in youtube. Last update reduced the quality of the 200MP and added sharpening. Before the update there was no sharpening.
@@donnawetter1513 this is a known issue, search online. I have the s23 ultra huge difference in quality after the last update, the quality is very poor compared to last software before update.
I do wish it was built into the phone like with the iPhones. Some of the aftermarket ones for Samsung S22/S23 Ultra interfere with the S Pen. I've got a Pitaka MagEZ case for my S22 Ultra which is the only one I could find specifically advertised to not interfere with the S Pen. But I would love to have a grip, kickstand and lanyard attachment built into my case, however having magnetic mounting was the most important case feature for me so I went with the Pitaka. If the magnetic mounting was built into the phone, I could put whatever outer case I wanted on the phone and still have the magnetic attachment. I suppose you can just put a metal plate between the phone and your case of choice, and that would still mount to magnetic accessories but have the benefit of not interfering with the S Pen. However it's not going to work as well as a dedicated MagSafe or MagSafe-compatabile array in the phone as that gives a stronger attraction and aligns everything properly. The MagSafe array in my Pitaka case is just about strong enough on its own to hold the phone to a fridge!
This was a fun video to watch! I was reminded of the Autel Nano+ 48 MP option that doesn't really look that great. Better to use the standard resolution. Digital trickery isn't always the best but it is getting better. With AI becoming so prevalent, the next model should be really interesting. Imagine having Topaz built in to sharpen blurry photos or just tack sharpen sharp photos.
I have the Samsung S23 Ultra, and well the camera I find is awesome...great to see the improvements where it counts...this phone is noticeably faster than even the S22 Ultra. This being said I also have a fujifilmX-T2; hopefully soon to upgrade, so when I want to take some more controllable shots that is what I use. I do get a good amount of use from the telephoto lens on this phone and it really should be an option on flagship phones. There are times when the full 200 MP option is nice, Id say try taking a picture in a studio setup with all equipment and review to see if there is really a difference, someone below mentioned that this sharpening is only baked into the expert raw app. Maybe follow his suggestion of using the basic camera raw setting. Last thing to consider is, as this is a new sensor on a new phone there will be tweaking and fixes in upcoming updates. Iphone had the same issues when they firstly introduced the 48MP sensor. All in all I have this phone, my wife has the Iphone 14 pro and we get similar results when taking pics anytime, there are colour differences of course but they are down to personal preferences. Airdrop is nice to have, but honestly there are other ways to send people a pic or video wirelessly on any platform. I like to just connect my phone to my computer; Mac or PC via cable and have just full access to the phone memory.
The last sentence hit the nail on the head. Nothing beats a physical cable when having to transfer over dozens of GB of files to a computer for editing. Samsung's link sharing (built in to the share menu) also works with no issues. It's limited by wifi speed unlike Wifi Direct, but that's usually not an issue at home.
I use the Google pixel 6a. Basic but does the job. For photography it is not the picture quality but the editing which makes it a good camera phone and for the price it is a fantastic phone. I normally shoot on Fuji, Sony and Ricoh
Not into apple and their monopoly. Just upgraded from a note 20 ultra 5g to the s23 ultra and I am super pleased with it. Would love to see a review from you comparing the cameras on Pixel 7 pro and S23 Ultra
The problem with the alternatives is that they run Android, which to me is horrible to use and a big deal killer. How do I know? I've had 5 Android devices over the years for various reasons and always feel more at home in iOS. You may feel differently which is totally OK - we are lucky to have the choice.
@@MicroFourThirdsCornerI switched from Apple to Android. If you haven't tried android on the S20 and above you probably aren't experiencing the best OS available. Most new features Apple introduces were originated on android. I couldn't imagine going back.
The expert raw app always processes the images. If you want real raw you have to use the baked in pro mode in the normal camera app on the S23 Ultra. Also maybe you have to change the camera settings to activate raw files im pro mode. ( at least that is the case on other Samsung Phones ) Did you use the expert raw app for the raw images, or did you use the camera app ?
it does look like they are using the expert raw app, but even in pro mode you are still locked to the 50mp and the same setting suits. I actually uninstalled the expert raw app because i couldn't actually find anything that it could do that i couldn't do on the standard pro mode.
@@NoESanity okay, because i experienced way more heavy processing when i used the expert raw app instead of the pro mode.. in pro mode with the settings switched to raw my fold 3 does not show any processing
Guys, these are smarphones. No one is going to share with friends or social media 100x crops of 200mp photos. Both phones are the best out there, with the s23 being more versatile, better potrait mode, and better selfie cam.
The video stabilization is equally amazing in both cameras in my opinion, and the macro of the Samsung was sharper and more appealing to my eye, including the shadow in that image, in contrast to your assessment. (A few days ago, I ordered the S23 Ultra. I currently own the S21 Ultra. I am, in particular, looking forward to the 10x optical zoom.)
Have not watched you guys in 7 years since I closed my studio. Other than looking much older Tony :) it’s great to see your channel has grown to the size it has and you’re still going strong.
Love this, so informative and I probably laughed more than I should have. I've always been an android user, currently still using my S21 ultra. Hoping for the S23 soon! I used to love LGs phones for photos, but they took a step back.
@@backroadsphoto_by_fish LG was very innovative. They were the first ones to have wide-angle cameras. LG went downhill because of RU-vid reviewers crapping on them. The same RU-vidrs that were paid by Samsung and Apple to push their phones! And everybody fell for it
I'm REALLY loving my Pixel 7 Pro, but I really wish it had an option to use manual controls. For the most part the AI does a good job, but there are times where I wish I could manually dial in my focus.
I always enjoy your reviews and listen carefully to your criticisms on products. That said, my phone’s camera is my second option for photo taking. If it’s not perfectly in focus, all details spot on, I don’t care. I’ll edit and get them to where I need them. Until Apple or other carriers start making honest to God fantastic cameras, we’ll be reviewing and comparing until the end of time.
I have a S22 Ultra and I would love the Apple ecosystem and how easy it is to interact with other users but I don't want to be completely locked into it either. The Airtag has a much bigger user base in case it gets lost compared to the Galaxy Smart Tag for instance, but I do like that you can press the button on the Smart Tag to ring your phone. If I lived in a big city in the US, I feel like owning an iPhone would make your life a lot easier considering how many people use them around here.
what on earth has the Apple "ecosystem" got to do with interacting with other users ? t is simple to interact using an Android phone. Never use apps that lock you to a device. I would never downgrade again to an iphone.
@@martinspedding4210what is with ppl claiming iPhones lock them in or they feel restricted using an iPhone what is it that u want to do on your phone doesn’t Samsung want to lock ppl in like apple
@@CashCollecta Apple is all about Apple vendor lock in. For example Facetime or messages that only work on Apple devices. Also devices such as Apple watch which only sync to Apple devices. Android is used across devices from multiple manufacturers and so if it runs on one device running Android it will on all other devices running that version of Android. I have owned devices from Xiaomi, Huawei, Google and Samsung. It is seemless moving between them... That is huge difference
I'd like to see the iPhone's 48mp camera paired up with telephoto lenses. Are there any good systems out there? Fore instance I know that moment might be an option, but are they any good? Maybe there is a better option. I don't know. I'd like to see a video about this.
I have both phones and I take the same photos with the phones every time I take photos and sometimes the iPhone photos is great and sometimes the photos is unusable, same thing goes for the s23 ultra but the s23 ultra is a little bit more flexible.
I am using Xperia 1iv .... although Dxomark recently ranked it bad but I am so pleased with the photo that it's taking. So natural and so pleasing. I wanted to take the iPhone 14 Pro max but while it was in my hand I have switched with Xperia. Why? Check with other video or Dpreview sensor compare, iPhone has something bleach bypass thing going on with their color. If you take a photo of the sea or any true colored subject, you will see iPhone will change it to something else where Xperia does not.
I live in Argentina, were you can buy an s23 ultra for half the money than an iphone 14 max. And the same goes for tablets, watches or laptops. You have to be crazy or rich to be in the apple ecosystem here. I'm really happy with my s23 ultra for casual photography, but I would never leave my Sony A73 behind if things get serious. Great video, btw, as always!
I'm a teacher. You can't imagine the joy of the pupils zooming in on their silly faces with the S23U 200mp class photo. It's a whole different level and the kids loved it.
Huge disappointment on this comparison, unprofessional (or biased?) 1. On 200MP test part, which mainly focused on low light/indoor complex light situation, which is not a tiny 200MP sensor designed for. If not a scene with bright light and objects with details, how can you tell if there's more details or just sharpening? Also, Samsung can choose less sharpening in Camera Assistant. 2. At 2:38, claimed adding details without proof that there's no that details is misleading. 3. Clearly using Expert RAW at 5:25, which Samsung told you is a processed. It has the REAL RAW in Pro mode! BTW, Expert RAW also has a lot of options to play with if you want. 4. Close up shot, personal preference, S23 U win for me. 5. At 9:30, iPhone seems a little smoother, but is it running by the same person at same time? Also iPhone footage blow out all the highlights on the concretes and beach. I enjoy the way of your discussion style though. Hopefully the know better about your phone and compare it in a more control variable method way next time.
I have a iPhone 13 pro and its fine for quick captures if I don't happen to have my Sony A7R3 on me. But honestly if the only place you VIEW your photos is on the phone it wont matter, then it just becomes ease of use and access. iOS is still easier for my family to use and share photos, and that's all that matters is actually seeing the photos you care to see.
Everytime a listen "iOS is easier..." or "Android is easier" it comes from people who don't use the other OS often. Of course it is easier to use the one you know!, same as if you give an iOS device to an Android user he will equally struggle to get things done. But the fact is that both OS are very easy to use, to share pictures and everything else, but specially the OS that you use every day. The only difference is that iOS makes you slave of one manufacturer forcing you to buy highly overpriced devices, while Android does not. All the key parts of an iPhone devices are manufactured by Samsung, LG, Sony, and TSMC (display, battery, RAM, storage, camera, and CPU ...) but when they are rebranded as "Apple" you have to pay double for them.
I HATE apple for reasons that would take 789457092347509382475 years to fully cover. But I HATE everything else even more. It's a weird kind of monopoly situation. As far as apple is concerned, they lock you into their ecosystem just as you say in this video and even though there are lots of other choices, you have to give up WAY too much to switch to any of them so they totally own you. The same is basically true of the other options too. Even if you argue that the other options don't lock you in with a really useful ecosystem so they're not as guilty as apple, they DON'T have an equivalently great ecosystem ! So you're FORCED to either give up things like a good camera or give up things like a good ecosystem. And who is going to own and use both simultaneously ? So either way, you have to make a choice and then you're stuck with whatever options (or lack of options like apples crappy camera) they decide to cram down your throat. Totally sucks.
You can do KDE CONNECT on the Android phones and your computer..Mac, Windows or Linux to do air drop as well!! So the so called air drop point with the Apple phone is mute!
Stabilization cannot be tested by two different people running because of all personal specs of running style, joints, etc; especially a male and a female have different stabilization in hip zone - female's mass center will move more due to wider hips
I agree about being locked into Apple's system and not getting to choose your camera! Are there any third party camera apps in the app store that maybe work better than the default one? Maybe something that gives you raw, manual control, less processing, etc.? I'm not an iphone user so I'd be interested to know.
There are a lot of options, Lightroom does have a manual control camera built-in but I find it a bit clunky. ProCamera as previously mentioned is good, I use Camera M as I find it very good with touch controls, and you also have Halide Mark II. The last of which I have never personally used but I hear a lot of good things about it.
Using the android Lightroom version to shoot raw will provide unprocessed raw on the s23u, pitty the official camera doesn't. Other than that -the galaxy x3 camera suffers extreme haze in side /back lit situations, evidence of very poor coating. It is also quite naive to expect 200 megapixles compatible optics in a smartphone which explains the lack of texture comparing to dslr /mirror less
Really appreciate the candid opinions. It's so hard nowadays to find reliable in-depth info on many topics. I'm looking forward to the Pixel 8 Pro. If they can give it at least a 10x optical zoom, better video quality and maybe have sensors that don't require as much post-processing, then that system will be all I need as an amateur photographer.
They are giving you that, and it improves with every generation. Its just that no one algorithm is going to please everyone. That's what you're seeing here. These smartphone cameras are for those that don't want to do-it-yourself. They're designed with the common shooter in mind that just wants good results straight out of the camera. All these types want to do is to compose and press play. Although there's nothing preventing them from having a true RAW mode without their generic recipe for the more seasoned crowd. Some apps such as FILMic Pro, do a better job with this.
I love my S23 Ultra, best overall phone and camera, and fits in my ecosystem with my galaxy watch 5, galaxy buds pro, and galaxy tab s7 plus. And I can easily quick share any files back and forth to my tab or pc. The S23 Ultra has so many features I wouldn't get on apple phone
Please, bring photo (light) +graphy (drawing) back. AI painting and processing is not photography. If you take a photo and the light sucks, the photo should suck as well: get better lighting.
I used samung note 8 very pricely 950$ new lanch then only 2 months 750$ price go very down not worth then if you go for Android take any Android phone now i am use one plust 7t awesome phone and good price. If you want to buy a phone more 1000$ go for iphone only. Or go for other anroid phone one plus oppo bcz its same like samsung phone
Great information. Was about to upgrade from the Note 10+ to the S23 Ultra but think I will squeeze out one more year with the Note 10+ and go with the S24 Ultra. The iPhone is a great phone but too limiting for my liking.
Please make our professional system cameras (like the GH6) act and behave less cumbersome. The iPhone got the smart thinking of simplifying our work. I want my cameras to be as easy to use as an iPhone. Specs is not important if I got the shot and the camera helped me on the way.
Great comparison. I have both the iPhone 14 Pro and S23 Ultra. I primarily use the Ultra because it really does feel like the best phone camera ever, but yes, it oversharpens, but they may fix that in a future update.
Isn't there a setting in Camera Assistant which can change the amount of sharpening? Also, scene optimizer goes nuts with oversharpening! That's why I tend to turn it off now.
I have this phone (s23ultra) and love it, but the post processing baked into raw shots seems very counterintuitive, you can watch the phone do it, your showed the actual raw file for a brief moment before the device rapes the image.
Wonderfully unbiased... yes my nose is growing a Mach 3! I have an S23 Ultra, I've had two previous Note's 3 & 9, and the Galacy S Captiva r e back in 2010. In not in the crApple "sheeple" ecosystem and never will be. I like choice and options and not being overtly dictated to by an IT overboard that demands fealty.
When s23 has a better image or video: oversharpened and it's a matter of preference. this is clearly a bias review. Tony and Chelsea loves their iphone
I have the iPhone 14 Pro. I like it but as someone who is in the Apple ecosystem with a M1 MacBook Pro and Apple Watch etc. I'm not going to defend the iPhone and say it's better than the S23 Ultra. From what I've seen I think the s23 Ultra is better on some levels but I never bought into the 200mp part - that's a marketing ploy IMO. My main camera is the Canon R5 - if I want to take "serious" shots I'll use that, especially when it comes to telephoto but to be fair I'm well impressed with the iPhone for normal everyday stuff. If I was given a choice of either the iPhone or a Samsung, I still think I would go for the iPhone .
to really compare raw photos you should have taken them with pro mode in the main camera app and not in the expert raw - contrary to what the name suggests those "raw" files are processed and just saved as a dng file
Great video! Loving the transparency… both have their advantages and disadvantages… it all boils down to preference… I love the s23 ultra but I’m too deep in the Apple ecosystem 🤷🏾♂️… I’ll lose way too much in terms of functionality and seamless workflow going beyond the phone itself by switching back to android. I’m not even tempted to switch back 😂… and I switched from android from just 2021… the ecosystem is that good and changed my perspective of these mobile devices being of more a tool than a toy, content consumption and communication device that also takes great pictures 🤷🏾♂️. But can’t wait to see what these phone companies do with these computational photography tricks in the future… they’re definitely not there yet, but fairly close to making your smartphone the camera you need for most situations… especially since they’re so small and portable.
Mag safe cases are available for Samsung. Quick share will let you send a link to Apple user to download full images/ video. Quick/nearby share is Samsung/ androids version of air drop respectively.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure a lot of people have gotten used to the "misconception" that only Apple does certain things. That hasn't been the case for at least 3 years. Android, well at least Samsung, has provided equivalent iPhone functionality in many ways. They didn't acknowledge phone link that allows you to use your phone on Windows to message, make calls, run any app, or move files. It's the equivalent of air drop and more for Android/Windows users. It's getting old that reviewers don't do their due diligence to actually see what Android has to offer and goes off of assumptions from 5+ years ago than no longer apply.
First of, you can get magsafe for the S23 Ultra. There's several covers for the phone with built in magsafe. So just get one of those and you got magsafe too. As far as the baked in noise cancellation and sharpening, I totally agree. I don't want that. Or at least I want to be able to shoot without it when ever I need that. So I totally agree with you there. Got the S23 Ultra. And yes, the 200MP isn't close to actual 200MP of details. To be honest the 50MP isn't close to 50MP either. But most of that is due to the dang noise cancellation and sharpening processing. But for digital use, it's actually pretty good. But you don't want to be pixel peeping, or printing very large prints. Still it beats the iPhone though.
