Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - 2000 photos and 2 updates later
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra since its release and its gotten two updates now which have dramatically improved the camera system.
I've taken well over 2000 photos at this point and the updates have only improved the S23 Ultra. However, there are still a few issues that Samsung needs to address so in this video we will go over real life examples as well as pixel peep at some images in lightroom to look at those details.
Even though there is improvement, its still not perfect so let me know if you have any questions!

Going to be interesting when Samsung implements the HDR patch/fix that they have already announced. Good thing with Samsung is that they patch and improve their phones all the time
yeah im really looking forward to that!
Bro faster shutter in camera assistant reduces the quality of the final photos. That might be the reason from the underwhelming photo
Great samsung AI looking to mkt their products all over the internet, smart.
@@franklinokeke7848 yeah whatever he has done has made it look worse
@@azvisualsan you do an update video?! It's released everywhere except India I think so far
Really nice to find a UA-camr reviewing the phone/camera system in the same way that I use my Note8 and will be using my s23 Ultra tomorrow when I get it! I do a lot of photo and printing them too. I use the full Adobe CC suite including Lightroom on my phone (love the S-pen for post in Lightroom for masking etc).
Thanks for this video! of all the ones out there, this has been the most relevant and most helpful 👍🏿👌🏿. Subscribed!
agreed!
I love that the stylus can be used as the Shutter button. Awesome feature.
Just found your channel and went back and watched your POV photography videos, really enjoyed them. Inspired to take more photos while I'm out.
Great detailed camera review. Good job taking the time to really go into detail with everything.
I totally agreed with you on the overexposure. I didn't realize that I often tune down the exposure when I take photo with S23U. However, I see a lot of users prefer to have slightly overexposed image especially the darker part of the image. People take it as high HDR but it makes the image too flat to my taste.
I still use a 4 year old S10e and I automatically turn the exposure on almost any outside picture, funny to see it's still a thing with the newest flagships
Thanks for the detailed quality photos. It really helpful.
Great video. You know what you're doing and you can explain it well - thanks!
(and yes, I've got an S23U too, but only since less than a week ago)
Such high quality videos for the ammount of subscribers you have, i thought you had mullions when i first watched the video, new sub
Love this video man ❤
Yes I do manual adjusting of the exposure slider to get the right amount of shadows and light when taking photos with my s23 ultra. I observed that the default or auto mode tend to over expose the subject.
Broo! I´m late, but your analysis was sharp!! Thanks for the well prepared material, you got my sub. Thanks again!
I have been using Note 20 and recently bought S23U, both tend to always overexpose and that's the way it has been since the beginning of Samsung. I always slightly decrease the exposure manually for some shots to give it a better look, like you did.
Got an S22 a little over a year ago, my first Samsung phone since the SGH slider phones. Love it. I’ve taken just a tad under 20,000 images, so far so good no real complaints. My previous phone was an LG G6.
Am thinking of updating to s22 from note 10.
@@paulmshanga3310 should go for s23 as besides camera battery and performance leap is really worth the extra pennies
I love the way you talk and explain the different values in the photos your discussing I'm a novas with picture taking but am addicted to capturing life in a photo. I've never had classes but intuitively follow what you talking about as we're both looking at the photo you select to use. I wish it if (maybe you have) that when your going into settings you could walk us through in a way that is easily followed as when your showing editing the photo. Maybe give reason for the settings you'll choose prior to the snapping the photo. In your exspecanal way of conveying what and why your choosing those settings. Thank you for putting out your wisdom for us to learn.
You are the biggest example of gold hero youtuber who listen to the viewers what they ask for. I asked you about making a vid like this. My mistake, it's slow shutter speed. Your video about S23 Ultra is the best on UA-cam platform. Even MKBHD didn't make a test about it. I respect you! Love that masterpiece vid!
Some positive words 🙂
Thanks for the high quality video
great effort man, thanks.
Greate review camera man thanks!
Those photos look dope with your presets!
Thanks! A quick edit really makes a difference
The kinda fair review i was looking for
Great effort 👌 appreciate that
Camera assistant is great to hear about I'll have to check it out.
Yes, the shutter isn't "lagging" the camera has simply assessed the lighting situation and set a slow shutter to let more light in, just like when you use night mode and the phone asks you to hold the camera still until it's done so it can get a proper exposure.
This can be bypassed as well by using the pro camera mode but sometimes I find that I can't get as good color and exposure settings as i do if I just let the regular camera use ai (I'm still on S20FE)
On a side, it's interesting that you found many of your shots coming "washed out" straight from camera. Samsung has always been known for their vibrancy but maybe they are trying to market harder to photographers and took notes of the popular cinestyle way of shooting/editing seeing as though the images edit nicely which means that all the information is present
My theory about the over exposure is simply competition with the apple look. Iphone ai really likes to flatten out exposure by brightening shadows and it has a discernable look geared towards the general user who isn't a photographer
I might be wrong but those washed out pics felt like taken with the RAW mode.
@@olivataggiasca that would make sense, I don't think my phone has a raw mode so I didn't consider it but that would definitely explain the colors being flat
Superb video... looking forward for more videos like this bruh
Nicely done , detailed video.
Finally someone talks about the shutter speed
I just bought the S23 Ultra yesterday. I've been watching lots of videos and can't wait for it to come. My question is are you covering up the lens because they look like they are exposed to dirt and moisture? I saw a video that has a magnetic case with magnetic filters. That sounds like a good resolve for me. I enjoyed your video very much thank you.
Great work!!
I've noticed that you get the best results on Samsung phones if you are a "tap to expose/focus" photographer. If you just push the shutter button like many reviewers seem to do, everything will be overexposed and sometimes blurry.
Shutter speed is great (S23) when there is enough light. Indoors you should shoot in Pro mode and set a manual shutter speed to capture movemet. Also don't go to high-res as it makes shooter slower.
Hi Alex. Thanks for your video !! It helps a lot. Tell me, do I need to be premium user of Lightroom to use your Presets ?
Thank you for highlighting the blur caused by shutter speed. It's so annoying that Samsung can't fix this but Pixel and iPhone can. I don't know why the other top phone reviewers always fail to mention this? Pretty sure Samsung is sponsoring most of them!
Man I love samsung phones, but so many problems with them. I've noticed that when it comes to samsung and apple, phone reviewers truly don't seem to give honest reviews. I always have massive issues with the big tech tubers when it comes to these phones. They just leave out huge glaring issues. I genuinely believe that tech tubers are mostly dishonest. (again, once they reach a certain level of success)
In high contrast scenes/situations you have to underexpose the shot before capturing in order to pull out more information from highlights and shadows.
Nice work, a cute face and a nice voice. Keep on! Thank you.
I cannot understand why the cam is so hyped. I also have the s23 and I am far away from beeing happy
Great review. Is it just me or do you also find the main camera a bit difficult to shoot with due to its large view angle and you need to get really close to objects?
yeah personally I don't like how wide it is but that is probably just me being used to shooting with 35/50mm on full frame so I prefer a tighter crop
This video should send to Samsung
This guy brilliant 👏🏻❤
As the photographer, it's up to YOU to make the image. The camera can't read your mind and just magically know that you want a specific part of the scene exposed a certain way or that you want a specific shutter speed. Claiming something is a "problem" just because it's not what you envisioned in your mind (while also not adjusting the settings yourself or using the appropriate mode) seems misleading to me. I'm not saying this as a Samsung fanboy, but as someone with over a decade of photography/videography experience that understands that the camera is just a tool.
Also for future reference, when you want to capture a fast moving subject....use the Burst mode.
Yep I don't understand, I have not had any of these blur problems...you can litteraly do all the settings yourself and it will be fine
I agree with you as an upcoming photographer!!!!
Very good video. I am having the best experience with this phone. It is not the best in everything but it is good in general for everything.
I'm so impressed with technology today. I downloaded the Motion Cam Pro application and am getting beautiful raw video. I can't even imagine what phones will be like in a couple of years.
thanks for your input! yes I agree this device is really amazing from a tech perspective. especially if you also use Dex it really does things no other phone can do
Just subscribe because of your gentle voice
appreciate you!
I find all photo are slightly overexposed wish there could be a exposure lock custom setting so it wasn't such a Bind to keep adjusting before a shot. Spot on with all the problems I see on this 23ultra camera side. Thankfully I use Expert Raw more than the main camera system.
im hella curious what your presets are or do you have a video or "shorts" about setting the presets on the phones? would appreciate your advice and presets :)
Great video !!! I really need your setup .. what is the name of the calendar widget please 😮
Good video dude
Great video
Can you share what your presets are in Lightroom? I would love to use them for myself as well 😊💓
Is there anyway you can post a video detailing your preset "settings" that can adjust overexposed photos with S23U?
Great video👍🏼
I really like all your mobile camera review videos.
If its possible can you make a camera review video of Base Samsung Galaxy S23.
Will love to see that video. As I am planning to buy it and its in my budget and i also love taking pictures from my mobile, when I'm not carrying my Fujifilm x100v.
And If not..then it's totally fine..as I know how much these videos take time to make and post.
Keep making these awesome video. Love from India 🇮🇳
appreciate the support! unfortunately I don't have access to the base S23 but if I get a chance I will try to make a video on it
the same for me I found the shots are overexposed so saturated with the ai mode, but in pro it's much better and the dynamics are flatter for editing, but overall when you find the right setting this phone is really stunning on the photo and "ultra" "polyvalent ! :)
Do you mind sharing what's considered the right setting for pro mode? beginner here
@@calebcai4150there is a video on the channel
14:20 leveling this image was such a relief :D
I have found that the shutter speed issue is solved if you use Pro mode and set the shutter speed manually.
EDIT: You mention that! Kudos!!
For moving shots I keep the Live Photo on and you can scroll through the seconds and pic the more optimized image
I have a bunch of cameras and lenses, iPhone 13 Pro Max , s22 ultra. And I’m to lazy to properly test them myself. Thank you very much.
thats so cool though to have all that tech!
Nice review
That's a nice and honest review. The phone is great, the best of course the almost unbelievable zoom range, especially until 30x the pics are quite usable which is insane. Pro mode, especially compared to older phones, is losing its relevance since you're losing all important software gimmicks like HDR or multi pic stacking instead of just simple long time exposure. What I'm missing, not only with Samsung phones, is using auto modes but with some constant adjustments to your liking. Companies try to make the look of pics fitting to everyone's liking and every situation, one click shoot - but this will never work, never. Buying such an expensive phone I don't want the 'company knows best what's good for me approach' (rather arrogance). I want options, but of course not by doing everything by myself but to change auto mode to my(!) liking. Why is there no option slider to adjust HDR shadow brightening or HDR high light reducing in general?. Why no option slider to adjust color to something individual between insta popup colors and pure cool color DSLR aesthetics in general? Older Samsung at least had a sports mode for shorter shutter speed priority. It's gone! Why? No cam app in the world in auto mode can read my mind, e.g. if I want to take a pic of a little river with water flow smoothed out or crystal sharp. I understand they had to deliver a one-shoot auto experience as most customers are inexperienced, but doing so they are frustrating everyone who knows about foto technology. Why do you have to adjust your light room color scheme afterward? Why aren't we able to do so just out of the cam app itself directly when saving the pics file. It seem all these cam app developers were no photographers at all.
Do u have the 8/256 or 12/512? What about pixel 7 comparison? Thanks a lot from Genova, Italy
What is that calendar widget ypu have on your home screen. I really like it
I can always tell the difference. My older Canon 70D still out does my S23 Ultra. You can see it in the post processing the phone does as you take the picture. However, I have a lot more experience looking at photos. I had a friend that could tell you what 35mm film (hehe film) was used when looking at a photo.
My nikon d300 from 2007 have better everything lol
Why wouldn't your older ASP-C camera outdo this tiny sensor? You can't cheat physics after all, but you can try to enjoy the process like the Germans do with their Porsche 911. For my eyes, all these photos are absolutely horrible to look at and I wonder why people are even using these bricks instead of dedicated street cameras like GR-III...
Great breakdown. Photography of Pixel 7 pro vs S23 ultra 🤔
If you take in pro mode and raw, you can change exposure in post
Good video. But i think the issues you highlight are only present if camera is on auto set. Those who know their way around manual controls will have no issues getting shots they want!
Thank you, mate, for another informative video. I'm still confused as to why Samsung keeps duplicating apps. Now we have the Camera assistant, and I'm not sure why they couldn't keep all the settings in one app. Nonetheless, it was a nice video with cool presets, and I appreciate that you're an actual photographer. As an average user, I can say that the additional settings and flat images, as well as the challenge of taking close-up pictures of nature, such as flowers and leaves due to the presence of wind, may give mixed impressions of the S23U.
appreciate the support! yeah they always have a ton of duplicate apps and it can be hard to keep track, but they all seem to have some effect and I think overall having more options is better than not.
People on Reddit say it's a hardware issue, not software but I don't know where is the true.
Can your do the fulldepth camera review for the Sony Xperia 1V pleaseeeeee!!!! Thanks really appreciate it ...
does your preset system also work with lightroom mobile?
Do you think that this camera would be good if I wanted to take pictures for large prints (such as 36x72) and keep the clarity?
You need to tap the screen, focus and reduce the exposure then click otherwise all the phones has the tendency to over expose every photo. You have to know how to click and not just slap a preset after. Great video though 🎉
So, what do You think, which one is better: S23Ultra or Xiaomi 13 PRO for a photography?
Nice review and such a cutie 😂❤
Is shutter lag issue be solved while using raw settings in s23 ultra??
Left apple for samsung s23 ultra and I don't regret it one bit lol!!!
Lol shame
good job.. Shame that many still prefer the walled garden Apple....
I’m trying to do the same, however, too many inconsistencies with the camera on the s23. I have it wrapped up and ready to send back in front of now, however, I keep looking at it wanting to give it another try.
I hate Apple and desperately want to leave, but in fairness, generally they do work better
I just hope Samsung Pushes for software innovation now One UI 5 was a big improvement
bro wowww, your present makes it look good, im receiving my S23 Ultra tomorrow, how can i apply your present on my pictures??
How come you didn’t use the pro photo for photos. You can try to reduce the blur with that since it’s a manual setting where you can increase the shutter speed. For 200 mp it’s off. My mirrorless does better but then thats a different camera than a phone camera. Still can’t beat my mirrorless regardless.
I do have one issue, on the Samsung, it keeps trying to auto edit my photo when I use the regular image and use the expert raw. It ruins it so bad by overexposing it. This is something that needs to be fixed. Wondering if there is a way to turn that off?
Question: I noticed other UA-camrs images come out flat as well. My initial reaction was "Perfect! Like a raw photo I'll have more latitude to work with when I go to Lightroom." Then I realized the avg consumer wouldn't like flat curves on their final pics. 1) Does this "flatness" preserve detail in a similar way that a raw does; 2) Does the flatness depend on defaulted outputed file format?; 3) Do you think this is intentional by Samsung??
Hi, I am an average consumer,
And yes I noticed photos are always flat and not always good looking unless it's in direct sunlight, but when I click on Edit and the magic wand icon, it changes that, also Remaster photo does a very good job fixing the flat effect.
Quality isn't affected even by 1% whenever I edit my photos
(S22 base model by the way)
@@DrAlyElashry oh, cool! i gotta check that out
@@NonBinary_Star I use when I feel that my photo sucks anyways, and it doesn't dissapoint me but I confused if they can fix any photos like that then why isnt it the default processing ? why do I have to take the photo and not like it then remaster it ????? XD kinda weird but usually my photographer friends say that they like it the way it is out of camera for me I like the remastered one along with all my non photographer friends
Can anyone help me, my camera startet rattling like to much just by moving the phone from a table to my ear and its not ben droped. Does anyone have the same thing where the slightest move makes the camera noise(rattle) ?
Great ❤ .. Could you please share some of the presets 😊?
I have had a lot of issues with focus on the 50 and 200MP modes. And as you say, the inconsistencies of this camera can be cumbersome. I hope Samsung fixes it. If they even can.
I have high hopes they are able to fix it, or at least improve it greatly. So far no focus issues for me though. The April update gives you an open to choose focus vs speed, maybe check that out?
Definitely agree with you about the tendency to over expose!!!! Mine is the same. I'm ok with the general quality of the S23U's camera, but I have to admit that there's definitely room for improvements
The overexposure is how all their camera system does but I think it normal for users to reduce it to their preference
Is that already fix the shutter speed problem? I can't accept cause it's too blur with moving object.
4:54 this is easily arguable a good photo.. For me the people on moped is blurred that kinda give the photo some depth and motion and layers . After all your phone camera was already focus in the back ground first.
It's just because it's not what Apple does with their cameras, so lemmings are used to thinking that anything that deviates from Apple is objectively "bad" because it's different.
A comment on your zooming in of the storefront in 50 mega.pixel mode at 3 times crop. What the phone does is upscale the image back to 50 megapixels which it obviously is using software to do. Even if you zoom in four times it will still up scale to 50 megapixels which is not ideal. The same is true when you shoot and zoom in in 200 megapixel mode. I think it would be better to shoot with no zoom and then just crop post to avoid the post-processing. Because the upscaling is not really doing a great job
the best phone to take a moving photos is a Pixel. I used IP14pro but I tried my friends Pixel 6pro. That phone is a beast when comes to photography
Hi, I'm just watching your videos now and they are awesome. I am torn between the S23 Ultra and the Google Pixel 7 Pro. I want the best camera phone as I do a lot of hiking and travelling. I have watched many reviews, and I am so confused. If you could pick one, which one would you choose? I know that is a loaded question, but I'm going crazy lol.
Can't go wrong withs24 ultra its a more complete device
If you're just using the phone for point-and -shoot photos and not messing around with advanced settings then go for the Pixel. If you are really into photography and are comfortable adjusting the pro settings then go with the S23 Ultra.
keep it up bro..........
Thanks bro
How's this camera compare to the pixel 7 pro from your perspective?
They are very different it is hard to compare. For point and shoot I think pixel is still better because it is able to freeze motion more than the s23u. However from a hardware and pro perspective the samsung def wins due to having pro mode and expert raw, in addition to the 200mp to work with
I have this phone and recently I've been experiencing photos and videos deform if not held at a straight angle. faces become long wich is extremely disappointing.
Would love to see you review about Nothing phone camera❤.
I wish you could review the Oneplus 11. Need a photographer's perspective.
Did you try video? I'm getting oscillation of normal speed and slow motion during videos I record in slow motion mode. The video plays in slow motion and suddenly plays in normal rate and then goes back to slow motion.
Samsung is ignoring this issue
My brother which settings should I put on my camera so that my videos are not badly distorted on WhatsApp,Facebook and tik tok.please help!
😁👍informative
Is the iphone better for photo? My only choices are 14 max or 23 ultra. Not a fan of google operating system really
What's with the screen flickering down at 240 PWM?
That's terrible that,
The Camera Assistant shutter hack is worth checking out. So is the exposure advice. I have shot into the sun and created some serious UFO shsped lens flares! I don't have a native Samsung tool to remove them. Overall, I am impressed with this Camera/Phone. Some minimal editing and wildlife photography works well enough for UA-cam or maybe more. The thing about hiking trail wildlife...you find it when it finds you.
Click edit, 3 dots on the left then remove effect, you will find reflections eraser.
@@DrAlyElashry Thank You!!
@alwayshiking_ If you wanna know anything about Samsung or even iPhones just ask me I dig that up since 2015 and I am always up to date 😊 I find and try features myself that's why I backup my settings on Samsung cloud because it took me 2 years to discover it all, Samsung doesn't advertise that sadly and can't find everything on youtube or the internet. 🥲
I have the S22 Ultra. I’ve often thought the photos are a bit overexposed. I’ve recently ordered the S23U. Guess I’ll find out is the S23U is an improvement…
Thumbs up!
What is your preset system for editing these photos ?
I do wish they would give us a dedicated shutter button. The feeling of a physical button is underrated and burried with all this hi tech gadget specs.
This would be a game changer and a dream come true!
Buy a Sony phone then.
S Pen :)
5:29 what is happening at the top right corner??? Very confused 😮
To buy xiaomi 13 ultra or s23 ultra? I need opinions. Don't know what to do
Damn, this is a good advertisement for your present system. Ended up getting it and I really like how it makes my pics look. The different presents remind me of taking analogue photographs on different kinds of film.
What is better to buy Iphone 14 pro max vs Samsung s23 ultra?
