Which camera do YOU think is better? Always love hearing your thoughts!
I think both are great and they are so good that the diffrence is minimal. Tho i like iphone better when using apps like instagram/snapchat, the quality on iphone is better then Samsung. I had a S22ultra and when i took photos or videos on snapchat, it was kind of a blurry and the quality wasnt that great, but on the iphone its perfect. Im still jealous on samsung that they have the insane zoom, i really miss that on my 14 pro max :)
To me S23 Ultra is much better and this is the phone I am going to stick with.
Very impressive with the S23U. I definitely agree with the shutter lag/blur issue. Indoor children photos are difficult on Samsung S series.
Give some love to s23 plus Mark. Need to see how it stands out against ultra.
God you are so handsome! I guess the camera or neither the phone doesn’t matter as long as you are somewhere in the picture! 😜
Got my s23 ultra yesterday and still under the process of setting everything up. All I can say is this phone has blown my mind away especially the camera and battery. What a beast of a phone.
Great to hear that. I am getting mine tomorrow and was a bit skeptic being a forced exynos customer. Hope I won't be disappointed. Enjoy😉
@@janskitech9966 don't worry man there's no exynos for S23 ultra that was s22
How about the front camera? When you calling someone facetime of whatsapp
@@GrungeProd668 you were right. Snapdragon is a full blown mustang. Man how we wera deprived all these years from true power.
@@sairaniamat1619 it's very good for an Android phone but wouldn't say it matches apple quality.
Thanks! You have been the first reviewer that has noticed the forced blue tint in iphone sky photos in cloudy days. Even the clouds are changed to blue, which screws the shot.
S23 ultra. 😌
For photos- S23
For videos - iPhone
@@hasyaspadchalchitra1600 For video, S23 8k video was not tested... because iphone doesn't have it.
@@egaskrad but I've seen many reviews of their comparison. S23 ultra's 8k and iPhone's 4k seems almost same
Iphone noob...
@@egaskrad 8K and 4k has no difference other than resolution lmao. You won't see a single difference between 8K and 4K unless you view the footage on a goddamn 8K tv that costs $9,000 dollars atleast. and also the shitty thing about 8K is that there's no nightmode, stabilisation, 60fps as well
Yes, I would agree that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra takes it! What we have to bear in mind is that Samsung will release camera system updates down the line, which could perfect the experience. The Camera Assistant app (Galaxy App Store) helps to reduce shutter lag. Also, in Pro Mode, it is possible to adjust the White Balance, and other settings for perfection. I think 'reviewers' must emphasize this factor. Why? Simply because not everybody is going to be content to point and shoot; some of us like to fiddle about with settings to get optimum results.
Finally, I would imagine that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra video footage lends itself to being easier to colour grade in a decent video editing app / software.
in practice , most camera "updates" actually downgrades the quality so the new ones appear better compared to the older gens.
Great review. Preordered my S23 ultra yesterday and can’t wait to explore with it
Short and thorough review, nice work!
Excellent video Mark. I always appreciate your impartiality. Great job!
3:45 You can turn off the macro mode in camera settings. I always wonder why people never explore the settings.
6:12 if you want to edit your images, shoot in raw and import in Lightroom mobile (free). That way you don't have to worry about the extra pop that iPhone adds to its JPEG and HEIF images.
Thankkkkkkk youuuu🤌🏾
The 14 Pro has a problem with focus on close objects (because of its lens). It's a hardware "problem". For example 13 Pro can focus at a shorter distance than the 14 Pro (I'm talking about the main camera).
Light room mobil isn’t free for iphone. Switched from oneplus 8 pro to 14 pro max due to peer pressure and I think it’s a very lame phone.
@@henryforo3566 LR mobile is free except for the premium features. Yes, iPhone is boring compared to feature packed Android phones, but is very secure, plays all graphics intensive games smoothly for hours without a stutter and without any overheating, takes pristine photos and amazing 4k videos, runs smooth like hot knife thru butter, lasts forever if not abused, and retains excellent resale value. Just like a Lexus, it is not for people who seek thrill.
They need to stop shooting in HEIF format the image is losing detail this way. Jpeg or raw are the only options anyone shooting real photography should be using.
there is a setting in iphone to stop auto changing from main camera to ultra wide turn it off and you just get ultra wide mode when you press 0.5 zoom.. 3:36
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing, learned a lot. Which would you say is better for indoor low light video recording & front facing camera? If it’s the samsung, cool! If it’s the iPhone, would it be worth it or not going up to the 14 pro max from 14 pro. I think they pretty much the same? Looking to upgrade from iPhone xs. Again thanks!
Can u please tell me which has the better quality, clarity and less over sharpening , besides exposure, temperature and contrast coz these can be edited later but the quality is what matters
Love the pictures of St John's and Signal Hill I am on tge the fence I been using android for years and I kinda want to try Apple but am afraid I won't like it'll. What do you suggests?
good comparison. btw what watch are you wearing? its nice.
How can you give those outdoor snow photos to Samsung when the snow is looking yellow when it is supposed to be white as on the iPhone?
what about upload quality? in the past, the processing on Samsung was not good, uploading from android to social media is horrible, can someone test that please?
I am most curious about Macro shots. What was you feel for those differences?
I bought an s 23 ultra last week unfortunately I had to send it back. When I uploaded my videos at the weekend none of them would play on my pc. I had an s 22 ultra for a year with no problems. I talked to the tech team at samsung for two days and they couldn't resolve the problem. As I need my camera for the weekend I just swapped back to my old phone. I was so disappointed. Maybe I just got a Monday phone.
Which camera has faster shutter for outdoor sports photos? For example, for photographing soccer games from the sidelines where there are fast moving objects so to decrease photo blur you need a fast shutter.
Great Video once again, it is always great to see NL sights in a UA-cam video.
Have you turned off the scene optimizer? Cuz many ppl tend to forget to turn it off and then talk about the colors being to vibrant.
A clear Win for Samsung S23ultra look At the Cinematic Mode that's insane ❤🔥I really like the S23ultra ....
Comparing cinematic to non cinematic on samsung and non HDR vs Pro Res isn't fair too. I am galaxy user but would have loved for you compare this equally
i agree. Both phones have incredible cameras, but the majority of consumers will not be able to tell the difference. for the Creatives and/or tech nerds who pay attention to this, it's just fuel for the fire. Both are very capable, both can handle the family photos, and both once set in pro modes, can rival professional equipment (kind of).
I'm intrigued by the stabilization of the S23U, as many other reviewers have mentioned is pretty incredible, and secondly, as a landscape photographer, I'd love to test the 200mpix camera on the same landscapes I'm shooting my pro gear on.
My biggest gripe about phones is the lack of customization. And as a tech nerd, I like to define my user experience specific to my needs. I can kind of do it on the iPhone, but not quite like I can on Android. What I do like about iPhone is the chip integration and efficiencies it has.
Did you take every picture with 200mp mode on?
Or did you shoot most photos on the default option?
I find 200m0 over exposes greatly in certain situations.
Pretty sure thats what the 200MP camera supposed to do?
That s23 ultra portrait video was nuts
Great review but you didn't check the 8k video of the S23 ultra?
8k very good by my used
'cause iPhone doesn't even have it.
I did the unthinkable today. I had the galaxy z fold 3, then had the z fold 4 last year, then switched to the s23 ultra last month, and today I sold it off and bought an iPhone 14 pro max. I am kind of bored of samsung UI so I will go to apple world for a year. I upgrade every year, so it's not a big deal. I have a tab s8 ultra and galaxy book pro 2 360 laptop, so I am not really missing out on much since the galaxy tab s8 ultra interface is the same as the s23. I haven't used IOS in a hot minute ago. I am excited.
Yeah overall improvement of samsung is insanely very good but still the issue of camera shutter lag is still slow and make the picture blurred or out of focus.
Both doing good it's just the matter of preference. I'll gonna pick which offers versatility and features
Yes
Great content Mark.
I think you’d enjoy for your phone (or camera). Optical glass lens (not plastic/acrylic), universal compatibility with brands, models for your iPhones, Pixels, Galaxy, etc, and control over buttons and touchscreens in any environment.
Let me know if you have questions. Keep up the great work.
JR. 📸💪
I realized that most iPhone fanatics try to dispute the powerful zoom in S23 since iPhone is not capable. But we need that powerful zoom especially when we go for animal discovery. And that 200 megapixels make the images more detailed without oversharpening. I would choose S23 Ultra any time.
bruh, but that 200 mpx is OVERSHARPENING as hell.. If not the sharpness and doo much contrast I'd go for it..
@@pentagramyt417 no over-sharpening. You are able to zoom very far with it without exaggeration.
@@pentagramyt417 don't know what you talking about tbh......everything you just said is actually the contrary
@@slash3365 Is it RAW or JPEG file buddy? Yes, it's JPEG, it's overprocessed photo by the phone, and I actually don't need JPEGs in my work. Is it better than 48 mpx AppleRaw? No, for the reason I mentioned.
@@pentagramyt417 you are so ignorant and Bold about it 😭😭😭....yes, there's a 200mp raw format in samsungs pro mode which takes higher rez pictures than the iphone for editing works ... it just had a ridiculous file size
I've literally watched numnerous reviews and comparisons on it already smh
Most of the time, whatever result apple is produced, apple users always find a way to tip apple. When samsung was sharpening the image and apple was just producing real-time image, they said apple is true to natural and real color. I feel little bias on samsung. Videos do better in apple, but now i think it is now at par. I think it's users preference
Can you show us a video with you using 8k
Apple has proRAW which takes the standard coloring of the og picture and adds proRAW editing to help balance it out making much better looking pics then Samsung and I didn’t even mention macro mode which is amazing
One thing I have to say about my 14 Pro is even when she is sitting still, the phone chooses to focus on the ground or something in front of her. I can tap her face to focus on it, and the final image still focuses on the foreground. It’s so annoying
In the camera, Samsang is somewhat beautiful, or the battery is weak, or the iPhone has a large battery load and beautiful photography
I am going back to samsung buying the s23 ultra in green as soon as i sold my iphone 13 pro .great videos
Samsung's shutter lag has been going downhill since the 16MP s6. That camera doesn't have all of the whizz bang software tweaks, but I pull it out every time I get a new phone to compare (s8, note 10+, s21 ultra, s23 ultra on order) and it not only can take literally 5 photos in the same time the others take 1, it still has the most detail out of anything that has come since. Even the s21 ultra at 100MP. I don't know why 12MP became the sweet spot, probably because of the multiplier for binning...but I would've loved to have seen them take the 16MP sensor and do some software magic with that, rather than go to these crazy high MP cameras. Maybe it wouldn't get the low light performance,.but it sucks that such an old camera does some really important things so much better.
I still use my s6 phone but after looking at all the problems new phones from Samsung are having with the cameras, I'm thinking of going iPhone this year. I am a real estate investor and need to take a lot of document photos and land plots. My old s6 does better than all new phone and I have a jack for phone calls. Phones now are in general complete shit for insane amount of money and giant turds in size.
I have a Samsung a90 and the camera lag is unbearable at times. I can't take close up photos of anything, it just doesnt focus and it drives me mad. I paint models and I need a phone thats good for taking close ups- as the models can be very small, and I dont want to just rely on zooming in fron a distance- I'd need to be physically close up. Would you say the 16MP is good for that?
The portrait video on Samsung is mind blowing 😮
For real😍😍
200 mega pixel sensor = narrow depth of field??
1:59 that actually looks the same as the Samsung 10x optical. Would be good to see them side by side
Absolutely love my 14 pro but I have to say the Samsung s23 ultra is phenomenal ❤🎉
I actually liked the video on the s23 ultra more. It looked cleaner and more realistic. Iphone is great but the Samsung just does it better.
Samsung did fit the shutter lag is in the settings but it will cost you some quality so I don't know if it's worth it
many phones and cameras are not for everyone, Samsung has so many modes, and pro mode for people who know what they are doing, and not just take out the phone and take pictures automatically, those who don't know how to use, will buy something cheaper and more demanding
Question what filters do you have on? Samsung oversaturate everything and I've tried to turn that off for most pics.
Off image enhancer
Off topic: are you in Switzerland?
Casetify has such awesome cases!!! BUTTTT, ALL of the S23 Ultra cases are sold out!! :(
IPhone 14 Pro user here and the s23U takes the photos easily…. Quick question though, did you test the camera assistant toggles for it to prioritize shutter speed to see if that helped with taking pictures of your dog moving? I know thats what kept me away from Samsung in the past because of my kids always running around.
Shutter lag
Note for those of us shooting in PAL countries, there is still no ability to film in the correct frame rates, 25/50fps, so you risk getting flickering lights and will have stuttering video when you try and mix this phones video with other footage filmed at the correct frame rate.
Bizzare that Google/Samsung still refuse to give us this ability.
You can shoot 25/50fps with phones, so buy that brand if this is important to you.
S23 ultra camera zooming and 8k video compare to most handphone is the best now!!
It seems to be a trend at the beginning of the year, the latest Galaxy shines best, in the Fall, the iPhone has something that comes out to top it. It's almost as if they're in cahoots. So that they can keep leap frogging each other and thus make their loyalists pay the price with each new model.
Except the Samsung isn’t better than the iPhone 14 Pro😂✋🏾
@@BlaquiaoManny u r wrong 😂
@@nishant5655 I guess you would know since you’re probably from a Third World country
@@BlaquiaoManny what does that mean 🙄
For 15 years I had different Samsung S line phones, and off course Samsung is leading when you talk about the camera. But I don’t think Samsung is making the camera software better after an update. My S21+ was every time worse and worse after each update. I am glad with my first IPhone 14pro Max. Reliable quick and paying with the phone is great. So much problems with paying with my samsung phone with the fingerprint sensor that didn’t always work.
After many iPhones, I just switched to the galaxy S23 Ultra and it's amazing !
Backwards flex 💪🏽
@@BlaquiaoManny lol 8ter
@@orca86does it lose quality when you post imagine on Whatsapp??
I've red that Samsung is working to fix the shutter lag.
When is your full review coming
Within a couple days I think!
No brainer the s 23 ultra I tried both apple is choppy and blurry zooming out and in after photo taken the Samsung flawless 👍👍great job Sammy once again 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, Mark, for an awesome review.
Where does the Pixel 7 Pro stack up in this conversation? 🤔
Ok to keep it totally honest we have hit a tech wall as far as picture and video quality for current flagship phones. As far as tech UA-camrs and professional photographers, that have to intricately analyze different phone pictures and videos to pick out a “winner”. But the average person taking regular pictures and videos probably can’t tell a real difference in the quality, basically they all are great and have been for the past 4years I would say. Until we get full VR on phones, things are going to be the same for the foreseeable future.
well that 10x optic zoom is something everyone can use.
@@egaskrad iphone fans would always come up with such calm regards when Samsung is a clear winner, but would wear an arrogant gown when iphone wins by a little margin. So pathetic
Does S23 ultra loose quality when you post a photo on Whatsapp??
I can't wait my to arrive. I'm really impressed how Samsung managed to get better in every way. And finally , FINALLY, Europe have a Snapdragon model in stores.
Lucky you😢😢
I own both iPhone 11 pro max n s21 plus(exynose) I dunno why but alot of times the iPhone capture much better photos, and since i updated to one ui 5/5.1 the quality of the photos has degraded.
I love the D&D shirt
Does it come with a pre installed screen protector ?
You didn't mention about the 10bit video record capability of samsung.. you only focus on iPhone..
ABSOLUTELY... Personally... I think the iphones cameras are overrated. I've own both Samsung and apple phones and I always miss my Samsung every time I use an iphone. Camera quality, the zoom, and the color quality is amazing on the S series (ultra forever) 😂
Hello Sir I want to purchase phone for vloging tell me which is best
IPHONE 14PRO
S23 ULTRA
please answer
neither, u get a Sony Zv-1 with external mic
Thanks sir
Bro do test 8k video vs 4k IPhone video around all aspects.
If Samsung will keep improving their cam quality like this ,they r gonna give iphone a seriously hard competition
Middle of the pack huh, the 22u and 21u would get the same results against the 14pm but for some reason you weren't interested enough to even compare. hmmmm.
I'd love to play with that 10x optical zoom. I wish they bring all the awesome camera feature on their next fold series cuz I will never go back to normal phone now.
A great comparison between two powerhouses of the cellphone industry!🎉

To me is doesn't matter what the Samsung camera can do. I tried Android ( after using the iPhone for years, and I have an iMac) ... I pulled out all my hair in less than A WEEK and gave up. I gave it to a friend who needed a new phone and could not afford to buy one. He is also .... an Android / Windows person!
I went back to Apple. I am not talking about camera here... I am talking about finding things in Settings, moving around in the phone ... it's a different planet.
It was impossible for me.
My opinion is that you should buy iphone, samsung, one plus... every year. It seems that the pictures of these phones make you see yourself in the same places, but in different colors.... 😉 Revolutionary and for 2023
The Ultra was clearly better in this portrait video (7:49). About the mic I think that iPhone won though.
How you easily know which is better and true to life? Compare the iphone video shots to the DSLR camera he is using to record the entire video, the smartphone that’s closest to it, is clearly the better video camera phone, and iphone is way closer to it, I mean look at his skin tone for God sake what is that pink color on the s23? It’s like they applied a filter on it
The review of the video quality was a little too linear. The iPhone does not win in all situations when it comes to video.
For example, at night time that has 23 ultra actually single-handedly beats the iPhone 14 pro Max due to the iPhones intense flaring dots. It also has more of a jitter. It's important to note, that also the 8K mode is extremely nice and situations where it works very well.
I wouldn't say that 99% of users won't use AK mode, because it is just one tap.
In fact most of the people who have the 23 are using 8k mode.
I feel like some people are too quick to assume that anything that requires one press the majority of people will not use. I think this is a fallacy and just a very linear and lazy way of thinking.
Even with that said, with standard video shooting the Samsung is far better at night.
It also has more detail with 8K on during the day as well, and it has better dynamic range at nighttime with a k on.
Shame you didn't test the night video and photos, cause the S23U clearly beats the iPhone there.
he didn't tested the 200MP photos. He didn't tested the 8k videos. He didn't tested the... well he didn't test anything that the iPhone doesn't even have.
@@egaskrad exactly..8k video on the s23 is really better than the 4k on the iphone
@@andyH_England stabilisation is really good on the s23 though
Why do I need a camera? I don't like taking pictures even if I want to. Samsung Ultra 23 is good in camera only. It doesn't matter the design or the shape, you should look at the phone from the inside
@@andyH_England And your suspect is WRONG, Smasung hater lmao
I just cant get past the shutter speed. My current Samsung is terrible for it and its caused me to miss out on many good moments. It can lag for up to 10 seconds sometimes and yhe thought of spending a grand on a phone that still has these problems doesnt sit right with me. BUT the s23 ultra has a built in pen, which for me is.. ground breaking. So im stuck at which to choose!!
They say you can download Camera Assistant and then set Speed over quality. You should try
DxOMark ranks the new cameras of the S23 Ultra behind those of the iphone 13!!! pro Max. Sad but true. In reality, the cameras of the S23 Ultra can keep up and are even better depending on the situation.
Very good finishing for the iPhone 14 Pro

I'm typing this on S23 Ultra but...I'd rather have Iphone camera, to be honest. First of all - shutter lag is still there. I just can't believe that they can't solve what's there since my first Samsung, S7 edge. Yeah, pics of buildings and Moon are cool, but try capturing anything that's moving (kid, pet...) - it's still blurry. And there are some minor hiccups in camera too. I guess they will solve that with software update, and next one and...S24 series will come out and no one will even talk about S23. I can bet that releasing one device in, let's say three years - we would have better cameras, because they would put some time and effort in perfecting the damn software. Presenting new hardware every year is cool but - in reality, things aren't so great. So in conclusion, yes, I'd rather have Iphone camera. It's somehow - predictable. You kinda know what the final result will be. With Samsungs camera there is still a lot of hit and miss. Of course, as much as cameras are great, using a device in 2023 that doesn't even have split screen feature (with all that powerfull hardware) is a big no for me so I preordered Samsung...
shutter lag i guess is solve by now no?
@@RodriguesMatt nope, it's still there on standard camera. 50mpix and 200mpix are blazing fast (as fast as standard camera) but people on forums say that quality is bad compared to out of the box software
But does It lose quality after posting on Whatsapp??
I prefer the portrait shot on the iPhone over the Samsung the skin looked a bit too orange
3:00 wut lol
so there is no blame for iPhone 14 pro, especially if you are a videographer and long term optimization more software and hardware
Why 4k 24 FPS
S 23 ultra win
TURN OFF MACRO MODE press the flower on the corner🤦🏾♂️ and here is the other thing, WHY ARE THESE REVIEWS DONE WITH THE IPHONE STORING IMAGES IN HIGH EFFICIENCY FORMAT. THEY ARE LOSING DETAIL BECAUSE THEY ARE SO COMPRESSED. Shoot in most compatible mode which is a full jpeg image or even better pro raw and i guarantee you will see a difference even if you shoot in most compatible(jpeg) mode
Got mine yesterday loving it I upgrade every year because I'm one of these idiots that just wants the latest one...lol
What do you do with your old phone?
How is it so for?...
I actually used the 200 mp mode on daylight and landscapes.
As a compact phone lover, I think 14 pro is very much ok for camera.
I know s23u is good than ip14 pro. But it's a minimal difference. It'll not impact on our daily life.
Wow so unbiased
Both are good
Overall taking photo, 8k video of S23 ultra is beating Iphone. However, IPhone still do a bit better on 4k video.
8k video is meant to be downscaled and utterly destroys every other 4k so your logic needed some thought before you wrote it ..
@@NeverSettleForMediocrity 8k on paper is surely 100% better than 4k but what I wrote above I refer to in reality. For example 8k 24frame on s22 ultra, 4k can give more benefits than 8k. Please open mind and think you before wrote it out. Thank
Can you do OnePlus 11 vs 23 ultra?
