Galaxy S24 Ultra vs iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Video Test: New King? 

Team Samsung

Samsung all the way!

Samsung

At this point I don't know

We will see!!!!

Good eye. Yes it is great this year

that is the first thing I've noticed. I'm impressed

​​@@dannywingetCan u try High Bitrate Mode on S24 Danny, go to Camera settings > Advanced Video Option > High Bitrate Video. Its much sharper and detail with that mode On. Hope you can see my comment. Cheers ~~~

Very close? S24 ultra beats out the iPhone, hands down!!

@@kwaseb no? are you blind? It is clearly noticable that samsung's video stabilization is still sucks at 10x zoom as well 😂

I was thinking the same thing. I think Samsung controlled light bloom much better in many situations.

nah night video ont he S24 suffers from smoothing which results in detail loss

They're definitely getting a lot closer IMO

​@@ssaini5028You can disable it.

​@@ssaini5028what about the green orbs on iPhone in night videos? Isn't it more of a deal breaker??

Should wait for 25 ultra or 26

Good idea, especially considering those will likely have variable zoom. S22 ultra is still a mighty capable phone and what people forget is that theres no reason to upgrade just because a new generation has released. @@roshanbaig1487

​@@roshanbaig1487Wait for the 27

@@roshanbaig1487 As a programmer and developer, i see Samsung weakness is on the software that still not mature, look on too bright scene, that caused by new HP3 Sensor that is bigger and more sensitive too light, meanwhile it seem they use S23 software. Almost all the camera problem in S24 is software. Its different if the hardware is not capable (cannot be tuning by software) let say in night situation the scene is too dark and when u try to brighten up the noise is everywhere > this is hardware issue.

Thats what we are saying after every samsung super flagship and never happen… both cameras are Ok, it depends what we prefer, ios boring phone, or android giant akward phone

iyaa for camera but not the video

the s23ultra destroyed the 14 in cameras tho@@juanmanuelchazarreta5924

your profile picture got me confused. I thought an actual hair strand was on my screen

@@rajkecy2223 lmfao that's the point 🤣

I agree

I think S23 ultra better than S24 Ultra specially in zoom

​@@rotrose9279the software on s24 series are still incredibly immature and new, perhaps we'll see some improvements

This youtuber is another Apple 🐑

​@@RagingBadwhy do you think that? Is he biased?

Well let's hope software updates will actually bring improvements, since the only sensor they changed this year is the 10x for a new 5x

@@CL4MP They also changed the main sensor. It's ever so slightly bigger now.

@@Bronyboiiiii the new sensor is the isocell hp2sx, which is the same size than the previous one

So i pay almost 2k for a phone and have to wait a year for camera to be improved? Thats is dumb

Nothing has changed except for the periscope lens. Same old sensors.

Im the exact same. Im torn between these two phones. One is better for night and one is better for day time. I hate those orbs flying around for the Iphone but hopefully it can be fixed by software updates. Samsung is really looking clean right now compared to Iphone

@@jaun3360 Actually its software that still not mature, becuz they use new sensor HP3 that is bigger and more sensitive to light, that why too bright in mid tone.

Doğru karar ve yapay zeka var İphone 15 gece çekimi berbat

@@hakanyildiz5763nulle ? T’as vu ça ou ? 😂 De nuit les photos sont trop contrastées et de jour elles sont surexposées, en plus d’être moins nette que sur l’iPhone, à la limite du flou (regarde les pavés), faut être une taupe ou un fanboy pour ne pas le constater 😂

How?

At night time, the iPhone 15 literally blocks your subject with light orbs. I'll take the jelly.

fanboy

Yeah, 100% I upgraded to S23U from iPhone 12PM from May 2023. After using it for almost a year now, it is annoying that my face gets brightened up, especially in a dark room/night time, I just end up looking PALE! For social media and other apps, Apple IOS is just 10x polished on cleaner.

Brightness is better

@@Ogi777 no its not, lol

I still can’t believe how bad the S23 ultra’s camera looks on social media compared to my 5 year old iphone xs max

It is mostly all about Software

@@itstime8777 True! And the software updates, especially this year, haven't brought the improvements that were expected. The camera hardware is good, but the competition will outperform Samsung soon if the software doesn't get big improvements. It already does in some scenarios. It's disappointing.

Which problems more precisely?

@@leofurda Here are the issues that are the most difficult to fix : overexposure, intense sharpening that creates halos, banding in the sky, chromatic aberration especially in Expert Raw, yellow spots with the 50mp mode indoors (not even in low-light), high-resolution modes that ignore your attempts to lower the exposure (i.e. in some cases, you decrease it by -1 ou -2, the photo looks ok during the postprocessing, and when the result appears, the picture becomes extremely bright again, and the highlights are blown out.) Usually, if you lock the exposure on a bright part of the photo, the photo will be perfect, which shows that it's once again a software issue. But the overexposure is the worst, because there is no way to recover the highlight details that are lost. People complain about the unrealistic colors in some scenarios, but at least, it's fixable to a certain extent. If those issues had been fixed after 1 month on the S23 Ultra, it would have been acceptable. But it is still not fixed after one year.

@@girardjeremie1939 thanks for the detailed answer! Would you mind describing the strengths too? You're right, Samsung updates most of the times don't solve the problems and/or create more issues, but especially I often have the feeling that updates make things worse to make the new models look better. And not only in the camera aspects. They also rely on the fact the most of the customers don't notice the differences. And the RU-vidrs don't make it better, because they praise these phones a lot, so Samsung has no stress as long as they look good in the reviews and sales.

Even Professional camera and lenses has lens flare

This is an iphone/samsung camera comparison test. The iphone has flares and floating glowing orbs in EVERY night video, the samsung didn't.

@@mastermeowda so why the samsung doesn't have them? Because has a great lens coating

@@mastermeowda yes but samsung doesnt have it, period.

Don't think u r s22 or s23 ultra user...which I am. Sometimes we do get the flares....

Video is close, but Pictures it's not.

Need a proper photographer for best comparison dude somewhere is holding a phone that can matter the result for the best pictures

Pictures?? Apple doesn't have a single chance

Apple employee detected

Video depends, and photos definitely not, I used both, and damn the S24 Ultra completely slams down the iphone

I agree! I think this S24 ultra is the first phone that is actually able to compete with its respective iPhone (15 pro max) in all aspects. iPhones have always been the gold standard for video, especially in low-lighting, but I legitimately can't decide which one is better now. I'm so excited.

@@bailey2517 and we know that i phone literally took so long to upgrade so we could expect samsung doing better than iphone s

@@taukeerakbar3113 hopefully!

True that

So true bro

One year for now is the s25🙃

Lmao every time a new phone is released whether its Samsung or Apple and they don't perform as well as their fanboys hope they say 'WAIT FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES OMG' lol!

@@n3hp5 Yes lol, who wants to wait for software updates, the camera should perform great from the start, not having to wait for updates. I mean don't they test the camera before they release the phone ?

@@n3hp5and yet they get better over time

@@artfartzysoftware is 50% of camera

Nice Joke, gap is so little bro

Biased lol

Meanwhile Samsung was better in 40-50% of the situations if you atleast watched the videos + Samsung massively improves the cameras with updates

Agree. There should be at least 2 years before another flagship comes again for ample time to improve anything.

you don't need to upgrade lol, I just bough a s24U after using my iPhone 11 pro max since end 2019.

@@mamamia601 Yes, millisecond speed improvements, in camera, contrast, white balance variations, thats the new innovations..😅 Display is Gimmick, even galaxy S4 have high density panel.

@@Broodjemetbeleg wow u can hold up with iPhone 11 till now. It will be very big jump to S24.

Not a real apple fan but in overall iphone 15 wins easy. If you need consistent quality you go for iphone 15, if you need something specific that only samsung s24 ultra has you go for samsung.

Is slowly being beaten in video

You should be super excited. You will be getting one hell of a device that will shoot incredible video for you. 👍

But my iPhone 12 pro max better than s24 ultra, sky, sunset, city more natural an details

@@Noname67125 manual setting on any flagship phone camera can get similar details anyway.

​@@Noname67125leave alone S24 Ultra. S23 Ultra was already better than iPhone 15 Pro max

@@Ryangaming2024 s23 ultra was never been better than 15 pm even the s24 u

@@Noname67125no one cares and my 12 pm has worse details then my s10

Yeah

You can't record in LOG on the s24 Ultra can you?

@@therealdeal4492u cant do pro mode nor expert raw on apple can u?

​@@therealdeal4492you cant tell the diffrence between footage of both cameras. No matter if ip15 has log video because has more noise .

I mean bro its just a 3 month younger phone and also not to mention it will be getting its first actual software today so lets see

How do you know , do you have the S24 or just saying what you read somewhere? instead speaking on your own experience What advise would you Give to samsung engineers? Maybe to iron the discrete cosine transform algorithm Share your tech knowledge

Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

​@@dannywingetCan u try High Bitrate Mode on S24 Danny, go to Camera settings > Advanced Video Option > High Bitrate Video. Its much sharper and detail with that mode On. Hope you can see my comment. Cheers ~~~

S21u even have better colors and more details and it is 3y older than this crap 😂

@@ivanosijek2306 Yes! Search Samsung s21 vs s23 by technotin and watch S21 winning.

theresso much you can do with such a tiny sensor

Stop da 🧢

Are you talking about the regular S21 or the Ultra model?

Dumb and useless if you're not going to use it lol ​@AmericanKetchup.

​@AmericanKetchup. How is it dumb an useless? Is that because YOU don't use it?

@@VelvetSapphire97how many foreigners do you talk to on the phone everyday?

Lol samsung s24 ultra ai features are free for trail after an year or so we have to pay to use AI in s24ultra 🤣

@@ceasarsalad2055 Why does it matter to you?

What picture quality bothers you on S24?

This is prerelease software. The S23U also looked not that great when people got their hands on the following day after press release and the S23U became great after the first update!

I agree. Innovation has stifled. I was hoping for a long overdue fix of shutter lag, and an equivalent to Apple LOG. But alas

@@theteochewtower the shutter lag has been improved, watch the review of Mr.Whostheboss on s24 ultra

​@@theteochewtower Use camera assistant and reduce the shutter lag, easy.

I think so too. Not much improvement and both of them have white balance too high. They need to tone it down back to the s22U level.

Hình ảnh trên camera s24 xấu hơn đó bạn. Cần chờ vài lần cập nhật phần mềm nữa chứ giờ chụp ảnh vs quay xấu quá

Im glad someone said it.why isn't anyone mentioning this?

@@KingxXxJmac you know everyone tries to be the first. They all know just making content... 😂

how much different? not much I bet

@@ssaini5028 Samsung kinda want to push the launch of the device early meanwhile the developer is still maturing the software. That the reason behind it actually. Kinda lame excuse, but that what happening lmao.

@@ssaini5028 Some other factor is, S24 use new refreshed HP3 with bigger sensor, more sensitive to light (thay why too bright in the mid tone), and they change the process from sensor to ISP parallel now. Meanwhile from before they do it 1 layer to another layer (sequential) (HDR impacted), also they use new 50x binning sensor for zooming, that what cause jelly effect or in developer we know that caused by binning logic process, it can be tweaked by improve the logic or maybe AI.

Actually that caused by new HP3 Sensor that is bigger and more sensitive to light. That why the mid tone is over, it seem they use S23 camera software. They busy with AI, and not polished the camera software, kinda funny, but that what happens.

You can use pro video

Probably gonna loose in cpu gaming batterylife , apps optimization etc too

Man, if I were yo post one pic from iPhone and one from Samsung you wouldn't be able to say which is which 😂😂 there's barely any difference, plus social media destroys the quality anyway

I got an IP15 Pro and never regretted. Fantastic image and video quality. If you want to get the best photo out of it and you know some basic editing, try shooting on Apple ProRaw 48 mp which renders images with a natural sharpening and not too much HDR. It takes space since it's RAW, but once edited into JPG, the size lessens while image quality is maintained. What you said about the S24 performance on camera is exactly what's in my mind.

@@statebriga8527 i saw a test where they uploaded the same exact pucture with samsung s23u and iphone 14 pm. The differense was huge when it was uploaded.. even tho it was the same photo

@mamamia601 yep, I was even leaning more towards 15 pro than pro max cause I saw that pro max for some reason also a bit more brightens colors (ofc not as Samsung still), when 15 pro is closer to reality. The other thing is the 3x and 5x zoom issue. 😅 thx for your opinion ❤️ what about other features on Samsung? You don't miss them?

yes

Watch again, stabilization is better on S24, its noticable. Are u watching the video ? Sharpness better on iPhone in 3x only, the rest is sharper on S24.

Isheep ☠️

I used iPhone at night and never saw reflections and green orbs

​@@JAKFOXGamingReally ? Did iPhone fix it with an update?

@@VoxiMcGamingMinecraft u have to let it focus before taking picture same way u do with a very expensive camera

@@JAKFOXGaming Does that also work with video?

@@JAKFOXGamingwell its back

The Galaxy S24 Ultra gaming video was 🔥🔥

Yes you can shift seamlessly at 4k60 in every mode, not limited to pro video. BUT is limited only to s24ultra.

I'm a Samsung fanboy and agree with you 100%. Apple always seem to blow Samsung out the water with their video.

Not really most people couldn't care less about log besides you can use third party apps what samsung needs to do is fix their algorithm a bit

@@thetop6340 you’re not wrong actually. MOST PEOPLE wouldn’t care about it, however, if you try it, and you’re a more ADVANCED user, the difference is clear as water. Just by the fact you can get rid of that nasty over sharpened look smartphones have, is a huge advantage IMHO.

if you haven't chosen already, you cant go wrong with either. If you value customizability and more features than s24 u is your best bet.

And now its almost as smooth as apple

It's just an s23u with "AI" Remember "Galaxy AI" they said.
