    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 UA-camr 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 :)

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 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!

    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 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.

    At about 5 mins in when you were talking about going into the settings to even get the option to enable raw shooting on the iphone is true.

    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.

    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.

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.

      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.

For serious photography it is too hard to use quickly in challenging or bright outdoor situations. Still it has a definite place in my life to grab a quick record of things, receipts and documents for record keeping. You might include the Pixel Pro in these comparisons. Those that have them do seem rave about their cameras. My S21 is good enough for my usage. I switch to the R5 and L glass when it is serious and demanding photography. I use my G5XII when I seek something better than phone in the middle group usage between phone and R5.

    Great fun!!! Honestly, I don't believe any smart phone boasts an incredible camera... But they do ok, and they are always on you.. Just picked up the S23 ultra, moving up.... or maybe sideways from my S21 ultra. It's an improvement, but not as incredible as I hoped it would be... There are improvements, but the biggest improvements in my opinion are the low light shots. Everything else is subjective. I have also used the pixel 6 pro, and the i phone 13 pro max... I am not an i phone guy, but they still make a good product. All in all each phone has strengths and weaknesses, but none being leaps and bounds better or worse than the other. To me they are all portable cameras that fail to compare to the cameras that they wish they were. None the less, they are fun, and for day to day memories and practice, they are great.. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the banter and honesty.

    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)

Check with other video or Dpreview sensor compare, iPhone has something bleach bypass thing going on with their color.

    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.

    I have the iPhone 14 Pro.

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 .

      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.

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!
