  • I took the Xiaomi 13 Pro, Honor Magic 5 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra out for two days in Thailand where I shot a bunch of photos and videos.
    Each phone brings something new to the table. The Xiaomi 13 Pro packs a 1-inch main camera and a new 50-megapixel "floating telephoto" lens. The Honor Magic 5 Pro uses a 50-megapixel main camera with f/1.6 aperture and 1/1.13-inch image sensor size. The Galaxy S23 Ultra packs a 200-megapixel camera with a 1/1.3-inch image sensor.

      it definitely has a more capable camera setup, especially the floating lens feature of the tele allows some super nice close-up shots.
      i'd take the 13 pro over the s23u any day of the week.

    Ben, as always congratulations. I was thrilled with this one-inch sensor but in the end, at night the shots are unrealistic, too much light. in the end the difference with a competitor sensor is a little more depth of field and the natural boke effect. From my point of view it doesn't seem like the famous game changer. Is it true that xiaomi doesn't have hdr in portrait shots? Thank you .

    Honors audio at 10x zoom is the audio zoom feature. Probably can be deactivated or should be deactivatable in settings.
    Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra by default is also doing that btw.
    Also I did not get the video part as zoom buttons are available on Honor aswell to switch directly. Why Honor only allows switching between front and back cams on Honor 70 and not the flagships is really really odd.

I have been with OnePlus for the past years and would be interested what other brands offer in terms of additional features.

    Nice, that was a great comparison.
    The one thing I dislike about pretty much all smartphone camera videos is the kind of jitteriness when panning across things.
    I don't know why, but none of the phones here did a particularly good job of panning. While I'm not a fan of iPhones, I think
    they're the only ones which can pan without that skippy jitteriness. Then again, maybe I'm wrong. Hard to tell.

    Awesome comparison Ben, I'm still rocking a UK exynos s22 ultra, really surprised me how much the camera has improved in the s23 ultra. Maybe a combination of the new lenses and the Snapdragon processing, but everything seems way more polished (especially night-time videos, which frankly suck on the s22 ultra). But, I bought the s22 ultra outright and plan to keep it for at least 3 generations so hopefully the s25 ultra is that much better again haha
