These photo comparisons go back on firth depending on the channel. On some channels the s25 ultra edges the iPhone 16 pro Max and in some channel the iPhone 16 pro Max edges or completely destroys the s25 ultra
That's massive improvement for Samsung, I'm glad I preordered it, can't wait to to come. In like 95% of comparison in this video, I prefer it over the Iphone, and that's coming from a guy who currently uses 15 Pro Max.
the iPhone still takes better low light zoom shots with its 5x telephoto lol. This has always been iPhone's strong point. It even out zoomed the Samsung 10x lens from the s24Ultra. But again this is only in low light situations where iPhone's telephoto really shows its power. iPhone also has the better video performance in general but the default exposure on iPhone has always been poorly tuned. I always keep mine on -1.0 so it's always like that when I open up the camera. The Galaxy's have always performed poorly in low light video so youll see more grain and artifacts in dark areas even on the newest S25U. Overall it is better than the previous galaxys though
iPhones auto exposure is really bad. But when you manually adjust it, it does take the higher quality video with less artifacts in low light situations. Samsung did really good with tuning the exposure though.
iPhone is still better at RAW video and even in compressed video too but the auto exposure on iPhone has always been ass. But I always keep mine on -1.0 by default. No idea why Apple doesnt fix the auto exposure.
There is something wrong with iphone's HDR on all video samples. Did you turned on the HDR? No way that the iphone did the highlights so poorly like that, I'm sure that something is going wrong here. Maybe you exported wrong idk. I'm a Samsung fanboy but this doesn't look fair
Agreed. Some of those are heavy HDR scenarios. Maybe it would‘ve looked correct if Nick uploaded it to UA-cam in HDR instead of SDR. Just looking at 5:10 min for example: No way it looks like this on his phone screen, right? I‘ve never seen the iPhone do this poorly. Something is off. No fanboy either way, S25U looks awesome.
Phandroid excellent work, brother. And I thank you for your unbiased review. There are some big tech reviewers who's name I'm not gonna say..., are basically saying iPhone did better everything. They just rushed to do a comparison. But you did fair review... 🙏😊
I think, there are 2 ways to compare those phones 1️⃣ At their max capacity, S25 Ultra has better cameras overall, including the main and ultra-wide and even at night in selfie situation 2️⃣ If we use only the auto mode, the iPhone is still on top in Video, and Samsung is better on Photo. I think you are one of the only UA-camr, using the Galaxy as someone who truly want to explore and enjoy his tool at max capacity. That's how i would do things: there is no point to buy this kind of smartphone, just to only use automode all the time. Nice video, almost 9 in the morning, here in France. Good job. Thanks for the content. I think other UA-camrs should have this way to show what truly can do a Galaxy Ultra.
Oh, and can we talk about Samsung’s mic quality? I’m genuinely surprised at how good it is compared to what I expected. It’s like nobody mentions this, but it’s miles ahead in clarity. Didn’t see that coming!😮
For still pics the s25 still struggles in artificial light. Same exact problem on the s24U. Artifical light, shows grainy , washes out and banding. I can't believe they can fix that particular problem. That is a very noticeable weak point .
Didn't expect to say this but Samsung has better front video. For the rest it's mostly a draw especially for day time photos. Portrait mode again, Samsung takes it. The only obvious win for apple is the shutter speed which allow you the take more steady photos in movement.
I was amazed by the frontfacing camera, but when it switched to the main cameras, its like theres a blue filter or as someone else said, a haze? Has to be some software bug right? That does not look right. But then the VIDEO from the main camera on s25U is amazing again? Gotta be some software bug with the photo mode.
Thank goodness youre the only reviewer to show 200mp and 50mp indoors in less than ideal lighting. 200mp needs bright outdoor sunlight to perform but 50mp should be able to perform exceptionally indoors with ambient light except on the s24 ultra, it comes out with color distortions and a blurry mess. The s25 is looking good ao far when using 50mp indoors... Only question is why is it automatically making it portrait mode with bokeh?
The exposure levels on the IPhone 16 Pro were just appalling in video. I thought this is where IPhones were supposed to excel?. This is budget phone video quality. On a bad day..😮
These two go back and forth. The reason is because most of these phones have great cameras and there's really not much stuff we can get from these phones. i do love the s25 ultra this year. Everything from the enhancements to the designed rounded corners and flat sides. Always wanted samsung to stop making those boxy phones i never really liked that design. will be getting the jet black version 512gb
The iPhone just has this awful over-sharpening that not enough people complain about. When Apple introduced Smart HDR on iPhone XS I thought there was something wrong with my unit. I didn't know that this was the new direction they were going in and.... for some reason everyone just went with it. It looks almost faulty on iPhone XS. Now over the years, it's gotten better but still to this day I can't say that I would choose an iPhone 16 over my iPhone 7 Plus. However I think the iPhone 16 Pro with a 5x telephoto is an even match for iPhone 7 Plus only because the 5x zoom is actually nice. And for some funny reason, the sharpening is reduced when you use the telephoto camera on iPhones. So the tele shots always look better compared to the normal sensor shots. Another funny thing is that even today, there is still no way to disable the Smart HDR processing or the sharpening effect that it applies. Blows my mind that the most popular camera in the world is the most stupid camera ive ever used in my life. Even ProRAW applies sharpening, so Apple even went full on stupid in the RAW mode. I didn't think they could actually mess that up.
I've seen a lot of comparison reviews, and sometimes the iPhone takes better pictures, and sometimes not. I think it's because it's too conscious of SNS and set its screens too bright. This ends up blowing out the background too much.
This cant be true. My assumptions is by default samsung doesnt shoot in hdr whereas iphone does and hence lot of bright highlights are clipped in iphones video during editing.
Much better video quality on the s25 but the transition from 1x to 5x not as smooth as iPhone yet. I'll give it a tie. Pics go back and forth. Main cam video better on 25 but front cam video better on iPhone especially in night time. But I'm skipping the s25 this year and going with the vivo x200 pro
Well it happened. Samsung finally matches or sometimes beats iPhone in video recording. It took them this long but it happened. lets go Samsung, keep refining it further!!
I prefer the S25, I can't stand the tendency of iPhones (since the Xs) to make complexions orange 🥕 in photo-video 📹, on the other hand, iPhone videos are too overexposed in this test, I think there must have been a problem when exporting the video.
II know it's a stupid solution and we shouldn't have to do that but you can use your palm as a lens hood (to shield the lens from sunlight coming from the side) to dramatically improve contrast
Eu tenho o iPhone 16 pro Max e ele é excelente em gravação. Já o seu tá com alguma coisa errada aí , não sei se ligaste o HDR ou algo nas configurações.
I don’t know what you’re doing wrong with the iPhones videos but it’s with your comparisons that the iPhone videos are way overexposed. Please check your settings
Me and friend just noticed that when we watch this video on a Samsung s24 ultra. The Samsung pictures look the best. But if we view this video on my iphone 16 ,the Apple pictures look better. 😅 So no matter how good a comparision video is they differ on the device you view video's like this on...
I don’t know what to say , sometimes I see the Samsung is better after some second I see iPhone is better , not sure which is better, it depends on the shot that is being taken ….
per il 70 per cento preferisco il samsung sia in foto che in video..... ma soprattutto nell'incarnato e' meglio il samsung ci sono piu dettagli ed e' piu naturale ... nell'iphone sembri terribilmente piu vecchio .....!!!!
Samsung definitely looks better. But man something wrong with this 16 pro. Mine never looked this kind of bloomy or overexposed. Did you messed something up? Did u turned on the 10 bit hdr mode in iphone? If it is then it is a huge mess. 10 bit hdr looks sucks in sdr monitor. I always turned that off
Buy the Galaxy S25 Ultra ($300 credit + $900 trade-in bonus!)

This time, Video = Galaxy S25 Ultra, Photos = Goes back and forth! We need to see how the optimization will take the final result in the later time!
True
This guy is quick!
It would have been up last night if I hasn't fallen asleep on the couch after I got home.
Wow @danny 🎉
Where are your comparisons ،i have been waiting patiently
Danny I'm waiting on your video to finally make a decision
We're waiting for yours too 🔥🔥🔥
Man, the s25 ultra is actually killing it this year. My lanta! Plus, Samsung always gets better with an update or 2. Always
But in case of s24 ultra they never pushed the camera update throughout the year At the end I have to sell it
@bhaskarmukherjee2373 if that's what you gotta do, you gotta do it. I've been interested in the vivo x200 pro 👌
@@fraghead9813 and I can't wait for the vivo x200 ultra
I'm impressed how Samsung brings that DSLR look to video and photo... iPhone looks like smartphone with super sharp details
Is true
This time Samsung surpassed the iphone video clear clear winner
These photo comparisons go back on firth depending on the channel. On some channels the s25 ultra edges the iPhone 16 pro Max and in some channel the iPhone 16 pro Max edges or completely destroys the s25 ultra
True !
@@mmafanatic-tz5ordo not listen to what they say. Check it for yourself and be your own judge
I'd say it surpassed it in the S24 Ultra, but it took Samsung quite a long time
I agree with you and based on this video
I'm excited about the S25 Ultra Amazing

8:39, the iPhone's video quality transitioned from the best to the worst with the introduction of the S25 Ultra.
Nope man. He turned on hdr in iphone. Which will blow the exposure like hell in sdr mode
iPhone is still better at RAW video and even in compressed video too but the auto exposure on iPhone has always been ass. But I always keep mine on -1.0 by default. No idea why Apple doesnt fix the auto exposure.
12:24 Samsung takes the crown, natural skin tone
Wow.. Impressed by the video on the S25! Photos are beautiful and both and I go back and forth between the two. But really have to nitpick.
Samsung's skin colors are the best I've ever seen❤️

Yep, iPhone videos don't typically look blown out and noisy.
I also think the same
I feel the same

Jesteś amebą, to nie jest fair.😂
What is going on with apples blown out highlights and lack of details on video!
It was just awful. Budget phone standard exposure levels.
User error. I can vouch for it.
Vouch for yourself. You're wrong. @@achyutarjun
Selfie in Samsung ✨❤️❤️❤️
Flagship phones at this point are just splitting hairs when it comes to photography. It’s that close it basically comes down to preference.
Best camera comparison I've seen. A round table discussing some of the results would be cool
A new king 👑 is crowned. Congratulations Samsung👏👏
Great video comparison! I am truly amazed at how it was night and day in terms of video quality during the basketball game.
Loved the video, dude.
Your video samples on the iPhone are recorded in HDR and respectively ruined the comparison. That's why the iPhone videos look overexposed.

You would have to turn off HDR mode on both devices, to better appreciate the differences, I think

I don't know why but iPhone video quality looks better bcs it's still looks way clear and brighter in dark shadows. Exposure is on point
