@@Jorge.O85 Just got a Google pixel 7 pro the battery is amazing and the best part is that it just gets better. After a week it learned my patterns and the battery got significantly better.
Photo comparison coming from a guy that knew how to compare it correctly unlike other youtubers, many thanks for comparing this three with such detailed explanation and comparison
Good video mate , its a mixed bag really isn't it , they are all not bad , but all have strengths and weaknesses . For a daily , id still go the iPhone ist , galaxy a very close 2nd , and pixel last , that said if samsung bought out the note 9 again with all its old galaxy note convenience features and a updated chipset , all the others could go in the bin :) .
I don't know, I have my ultra 23 now and i dont like how photos comes out .. to bright to saturated, And faces have a smoothening effect on them. Don't like that at all, My old pixel 5 on the other hand takes way sharper photos and i dont understand why Samsung is doing this 🤔 Think I'll return the 23 and get pixel 7 pro instead
Regarding the face smoothing effect on the galaxy , I think this has always been a Samsung thing , ive had plenty of galaxies over the years , and its always been a trait , I wasn't a fan of this either.
I personally liked the more natural colours too - I like a phone to capture what I see in real life, and then I can always edit them later if I want a stylised look. Not a fan of face smoothing either and I turn that off straight away. Leaving in on (on a low setting) can help to combat the over-sharpening though 🤷♂️
@@marztenacity9444 i have and the smoothening effect is still there regardless what you do, Like the comment over me said. It's a Samsung thing, and i dont like it at all
I had the S21 Ultra and I loved it but now using the Pixel 7 Pro it's my favorite phone I've had regardless of overheating issues with heavy multi-tasking the phone experience overall is my favorite by far!
I want to go from the s22 ultra (Exynos) to the pixel 8 pro in a few months, hopefully it'll be a good device. I just fancy a change and find iPhones a bit too boring 😅
The Samsung s23 ultra is better than the iphone 14 pro max and Pixel no comparison and I've used all 3. For those of us who know tech we always knew Samsung was way more fun to use with more capabilities than the iPhone. Trust me the camera is way better than the iPhone and more fun unlimited features. Now with the pixel I don't prefer the operating system but I respect the pixel camera. The iPhone only gives you the perception that it has a better battery because of the limitations and its capabilities. It's no comparison
I switched from the one plus 7 pro to the pixel 7 pro and so far I'm enjoying it. The only thing I dislike from the pixel are the speakers they're terrible

Samsung fan, but actually I don't like the return of saturation in the photos of the S23 Ultra.

No, the software updates, the cheaper fingerprint sensor, the cheaper aluminium build (samsung is a little more expensive because its reinforced), cheaper glass on the screen and back, cheaper camera hardware, cheaper chipset...etc The pixel is NOT a better value.
The fact that a phone half the price of the Samsung/iPhone is even in the same category makes it an easy choice unless you have 1400$ burning a hole in your pocket. And the fact that the phones are out of date in 2-3 years make it an easy choice for someone not in the apple ecosystem at least.
I am fortunate enough to have been able to purchase all 3. I use the S23 ultra the most followed by the pixel then the iphone. Still prefer the fold 4 over all of them but do miss the crazy zoom on the S23 ultra and the Spen!

Still plenty of room for improvement on all of them.
@@mikldude9376 yes but with Samsung you can use any of headphones which supports LDAC and those will blow away Air Pods Max 😜 i like both phones however as passionate to the media stuff, I don't like the fact that apple is so limited environment supporting mainly own accessories and media formats and using only theirs full potential. For instance, you can use only AAC audio codec which is maximized while using apple headphones and limited while using different brand one.
P7P has overall a better performing camera. The photos that come out of pixel are simply stand above anything in the mainstream market. Normal 4k videos are on par with iphones. For sound, gaming and display brightness, pixel obviously falls behind.
Video is such a big deal to me , and the fact that android phones still cant catch up to iphone quality is quite mind boggling . never had an issue with stuttering even on my iphone 7 plus!
I tested micro photo on all three models in a phone store, assisted by a sales representative. Only the iPhone 14 was able to take photos, that was in fokus, on 3mm wide samples & we took our time with the testing. We also tried the iPhone 13, which also took photos in fokus.
I had the 6 pro and 7 pro and endless bugs and hardware issues on 7 Pro, so much so, Google sent me a new phone last week which I’m selling unopened. I’ve bought the 14 Pro and the camera is way better overall, the phone is flawless in operation, worth the extra money! 👌🇬🇧
My pre-order got cancelled and I didn't ever go back and re-order, i thought that people didn't have much interest. I'll still review it if enough people want it though!
Your videos are fantastic. They really address all the points that are relevant to me; I feel you use your phone and prioritise features similarly to me. I have a Note 20 Ultra, and although I don't plan to upgrade this year, I was wondering if you recognise a reasonable increase in camera performance in the S23 Ultra in comparison (particularly the telephoto camera)?
Thanks a lot! I think the Note 20 Ultra camera actually does a pretty decent job against newer phones still. I made a video comparing the Note 20 Ultra to the S22 Ultra, that might be useful for you: ua-cam.com/video/vra8ag9olTI/v-deo.html
Here is your standard what wallpaper you are using question here. Good comparison, thanks a lot. Have S23 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro, for portraits and night photos Pixel much better, everything is better on S23 Ultra for me.
@@insidetechltd If you’re doing it from launch wouldn’t the S23 Ultra be 3 then? I’m pretty sure it was 3 for pixel, 4, for Samsung and guaranteed 5 for iPhone. Idk, maybe I’m wrong
The pixel is listed as a specific year to be supported until (2025 and 2027) whereas other companies like Samsung list specific numbers of years of support. So I changed the pixel’s numbers to match the other phones so we could have a consistent no. of years of support
This year, Samsung takes the crown. S23 Ultra is nearly perfect phone, I enjoy it more than my company 14 Pro. BTW, really I enjoy the most your videos! You deserve more subs cause you are doing hell good job !
The only issue is on the S23U is the camera and video, video isnt as good as the iPhone and photos arent as good as the Pixel 7 Pro. Also the shutter lag on the Samsung is unacceptable on a $1200 phone
@@ssaini5028 partially true, from other hand this is one of the few android flagships which has video quality close to the iphone. Let's be honest, iphone is and will be king in that department.
@@DamianNocun he S23U video quality is good, but not close to the iPhone not at all. Panning, noise, low light, autofocus, color science and dynamic range is just better on the iPhone video. Video is just better quality overall
@@ssaini5028 low light video in this review is questionable, most other reviews doesn't have this iso problem he definitely has a problem with the settings of his phone.
@@insidetechltd Ha you mentioned it's the brightest outdoors so I think that covered it. Great to see Samsung have pretty much caught up on smoothness and battery tho.
IPhone 14 Pro Max is a great phone, but the S23 Ultra has a bigger range of capabilities in video with genuine stabilized 8K and 10x optical. Many independent tests give the low light video crown to the S23 Ultra which surprises me but I feel the IPhone's noise control is incredible and second to none, but it darkens the image to aid this. In bright conditions the IPhone wins in overall quality, but just. And the S23 Ultra is yet to receive it's first big camera software update, which is worth noting.
@wsi1871 Yes the iPhone screens are brighter but due to a poor cooling solution they'll only let you max out the screen brightness for a few mins before getting dimmer than the Samsung. So even in terms of brightness I'll take the Samsung.
The Tensor story was supposed to be better control over updates than Qualcomm chips, but the Samsung with a Snapdragon outdoes it on updates, outdoes it on speed, AND is more efficient while trouncing it. Tensor has been super underwhelming, and their hand waving about ML doesn't pan out either since you can do that on SD or A16 even better.
@@wlonsdale1 Yet it's not even ahead in most aspects of AI. Sorry, it's just a tired rebranded Exynos with a few Google accelerated bits, and just not being as fast is one thing but it also burns more power while being slower is the big issue.
The Pixel 7 Pro completely destroys those other guys. It has Face ID which works well, you didn't mention that, and the fingerprint ID's light makes it cooler. Stop down playing the Pixel Pro for those other chumps.
It doesn't have Face ID. It has face unlock, which is a different, non-secure method. I focussed on the secure biometric methods for each phone and covered them
Listen closely to his words regarding iPhone. Never really a negative. That's not good for iPhone users as it puts no pressure on Apple to address and deliver in its future devices...shame.
Great video. I think you do a fantastic job at being thorough. My only critsism would be when testing the camera. Unless the pictures are taken at the exact same time at the exact same distance and with exactly the same amount of shake or no shake. It's never gonna be 100% accurate. But then I know that's impossible ha ha 😁
Thank you. I must say that I work extremely hard to capture as close as possible images with smartphones. I take each shot in the exact same position and within seconds of each other. Some reviewers will attach the phones to a rig side by side and speed up the capture time this way - but you don't have the lens in the exact same position so this skews the photos (I do it manually each time to get it exact, and also to allow a natural movement whilst taking the photo so that stabilisation can be accounted for and not removed). This gives you the best interpretation of how the lenses differ between phones (as opposed the person taking the image being in a different position each time). As you said, it's physically impossible to do the exact same position and time - but i'd like to think I get damn close, and I work hard to do this
I had the iPhone 14 Pro Max and now I have the S23 Ultra and the Pixel 7 Pro. I really like the S23 Ultra, but the Pixel 7 Pro is a much better shape to hold and expecially indoor the Pixel-camera is in a league of its own. I have been switching back and forth but I guess I will continue with the Pixel 7 Pro and sell the S23 Ultra. I simply trust the camera of the Pixel way more.
So, im more interested in decent loud speakers and big screen rather than anything else as all I do is watch UA-cam videos .. what’s the best option Samsung?
I still wish apple can use the dynamic Island for all notifications.. They find a smart way to use that for more cleaner pop up notification... From sms to everything in between
Battery life on my Google pixel phones has been very disappointing. I don't think the megapixel count has anything to do with the shallow depth of field of the Samsung. That depends on aperture. So it might be interesting to know what aperture is the default on each phone for each lens. I shoot almost all the time in night sight on my pixel. It is important to note that so much is adjustable in the camera app. One can add blur after the fact not just to recent pics but to pics from the distant past. One can also easily add brightness with the dynamic or enhance suggestions or manually with the adjust controls. I have recently started to shoot in raw and JPEG. Processing the raw later on my computer. Makes a huge difference when one eliminates all of Google's algorithm additions. In the normal camera setting, the pixel takes a quick series of shots. You can simply accept the suggested one or choose one or more of the many others. So if a person blinks in the suggested shot, you may be able to find and clear-eyed shot taken before or after that one. Outside of the camera, I find Google translate to be one of the better features. I'm not sure how the other two phones do on the various aspects I have mentioned to above.
It's not the megapixel count, no. It's both the aperture and the sensor size (the apertures are shown in this video at the start of the camera section)
iPhone 14 pro max is king as always. Optimization video photos/ iMessage full quality video and photo sending with no needing links. All apps social media optimized. There will always be 1 king and that’s IPhone.
This is the second video I see from you and I have to say; I always walk away having learned something from your videos. Just to compare I bought the s23 512gb version for £1099 (traded a Samsung S4 believe it or not they valued it at 150 + another £150 off with a discount voucher); if I compare this spec for spec with the pixel that is retailing at around £949 before you apply a much less generous trade in, and knowing Samsung will give me more coverage with updates and much better spec that doesn't rely on actively listening to me the entire day (privacy concern here) then I think the Samsung gives better value. I probably have a bias against Google as I bought the first generation pixel XL which never aged well, and Google have a track record of abandoning their products and so I don't trust it.
Love your videos but honestly you clearly are wrong about bezel size! Pixel has the thickness bezels out of the bunch! The curve display kind of hides how thick they are. Second the s23 ultra has a massive bottoms bezel that isn’t symmetrical at all! The only phone with thin symmetrical bezels is the iPhone. The human eye prefers symmetry. I agree about the front camera cutout being better in android but let’s be honest about bezel sizes here. Other than that Fantastic video as usual and keep up the great work.
I think that the s23 Ultra is the best all-rounded phone where iPhone does X better and Pixel does Y better, however, the overall rounded device this year is S23 Ultra and its not just about the camera, its battery, performance (gaming) no throttling, faster charging than Apple, its a no brainer! There was hardly any discussion about the S-Pen / Samsung DeX and Multi-Tasking optimizations where the Samung with its Eco System is superior to Google and Apple, for me that's a win :)
I agree - it's the best all round phone. Sorry the DeX/S Pen bits were so short, i've covered it so many times before and didn't want this long video to run even longer!
Very wrong. Check out the latest thermal test on UA-cam with s23U and pixel 7 pro and iPhone 14 pro max. Not only higher framerates but way better long endurance gaming for performance
I own a Pixel 7 (non Pro). Chose the 7 over the 7 Pro mainly due to the size. After watching your S23 video, I thought "maybe I should go back to Samsung due to all the improvements." Still had those thoughts watching this video. Have had no issues with the 7 and then I looked at my purchase receipt for the 7. With trade-in, I paid ~$160.00 USD for the 7. After your personal choice of the 7 Pro, I believe I am going to remain happy with my 7. Thank you Adam!
@@mcsigler Yeah this is the thing I was thinking. Look in my pov i use some social media and some UA-cam. And some light games such as clash royal and clash of clans. And i just need maybe 5-6hr sot. So i was looking for a phone and i saw best buy was selling for 650-750. So in this 700-800 range i fing 4 choice op11,s23,pixel7pro and iphone 13/14. Personally for some limitations i don't prefer or like ios. Op11 is shit imo. Now the choice is s23 and pixel7pro. I know s23 is faster, superior bla bla. But i think tensor g2 has enough power to do all the task to do. So i wanted see still people's opinions s23 vs pixel7pro. But I'm disappointed because everyone is comparing s23u or i14pro/max.like why I'm not going to spend 1100-1200 for a phone.
I see you have the base model. I wanted to know if you think that I can buy a pixel7pro for my need. I charge overnight then i go to university and do some light tasks like listening to music,doing some notes, watching UA-cam,and some facebook Instagram Whatsapp things. Occasionally when i travel i love to take photos. Not much into video. And here and there i play some games like clash royale,clash of clans for 10-20min max. Now the question you think is pixel7pro is not going to be enough for me ? Looking for your recommendation ☺️
@FayFlix. I have a friend that owns the 7 Pro & loves it. Yes, better display, better camera, and bigger battery than the 7. If there's one caveat, it's battery life. Just about every review of the 7 Pro I've seen says the battery life is "average" & I agree. With the way you use your phone, I'm kind of hesitant to say that you'd make it all day on one charge. I'm sure everything else would perform well and you'd be happy with the Pro 7. I really wish battery life was better! I've heard the S23+ has great battery life. The one thing that annoys me about Samsung is their duplicate apps that you can't get rid of. Waste of space on the phone with what I consider bloatware.
What a great video 🎉. I think it's a three way tie. I had the pixel 4 and using it was incredible with the Ai.. I had the s20 and the hardware was incredible. Now I have 14 Pro Max and the ecosystem is a trap. I'm stuck after buying apple watch ultra, airport pro 2 and a Mac 🐑
Still have one pixel 4 plus left. The features still work better than the 7 Pro, especially face unlock having the notch with integrated with sensors that actually work. Still not happy with Google killing off a perfectly good working phone after 3 years no longer supporting with security patches. Samsungs have all the bells and whistles but then you're being spied on by both Google and Samsung. Been waiting for Apple to finally ditch the lightning port and offer up their version of Google call screening / Google assistant for years now.... With all the profits Apple makes I can't believe they overlook and let Google dominate with more advanced tech and features. The iPhones are definitely the most reliable and hold their value the best and normally get the best apps first.

@@mikldude9376 yes but with Samsung you can use any of headphones which supports LDAC and those will blow away Air Pods Max 😜 i like both phones however as passionate to the media stuff, I don't like the fact that apple is so limited environment supporting mainly own accessories and media formats and using only theirs full potential. For instance, you can use only AAC audio codec which is maximized while using apple headphones and limited while using different brand one.
I like the air pods but only with an iphone. With any other phone they're run of the mill.
P7P has overall a better performing camera. The photos that come out of pixel are simply stand above anything in the mainstream market. Normal 4k videos are on par with iphones.
For sound, gaming and display brightness, pixel obviously falls behind.
Watching on my S23 ultra❤
Overall s23 ultra is best
the pixel offers 3 years of support and 5 of security, not 2 and 4
I'm sure you can work out what's happened here 👍🏼
It did offer 3 years so you're quite correct. However the pixel 7 is coming up to one year old , with 2 years of system updates available
Video is such a big deal to me , and the fact that android phones still cant catch up to iphone quality is quite mind boggling . never had an issue with stuttering even on my iphone 7 plus!
iPhone video is just 🔥
I tested micro photo on all three models in a phone store, assisted by a sales representative. Only the iPhone 14 was able to take photos, that was in fokus, on 3mm wide samples & we took our time with the testing. We also tried the iPhone 13, which also took photos in fokus.
Team Pixel!
I had the 6 pro and 7 pro and endless bugs and hardware issues on 7 Pro, so much so, Google sent me a new phone last week which I’m selling unopened. I’ve bought the 14 Pro and the camera is way better overall, the phone is flawless in operation, worth the extra money! 👌🇬🇧
That's too bad. The only issue I have with the 7 pro is battery life vs iphone
@@wlonsdale1 you’ve been very lucky! 👌🏻
I can’t wait for you to test Sony Xperia 1 V. Plz! 🙏
My pre-order got cancelled and I didn't ever go back and re-order, i thought that people didn't have much interest. I'll still review it if enough people want it though!
Another episode of clear review ❤.
Loving your content from India bro ❤
Thank you 👊🏼
Your videos are fantastic. They really address all the points that are relevant to me; I feel you use your phone and prioritise features similarly to me.
I have a Note 20 Ultra, and although I don't plan to upgrade this year, I was wondering if you recognise a reasonable increase in camera performance in the S23 Ultra in comparison (particularly the telephoto camera)?
Thanks a lot!
I think the Note 20 Ultra camera actually does a pretty decent job against newer phones still. I made a video comparing the Note 20 Ultra to the S22 Ultra, that might be useful for you: ua-cam.com/video/vra8ag9olTI/v-deo.html
Thank you. It's not different in the UK. But remember that the phone has been out for a year already, so it's only 2 and 4 years now!
Very nice video comparison
Thank you!
Here is your standard what wallpaper you are using question here. Good comparison, thanks a lot. Have S23 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro, for portraits and night photos Pixel much better, everything is better on S23 Ultra for me.
I'm sharing it on twitter, come say hi!
Again brilliant review between 3 flagship phones.😊
Thank you so much!
the pixel gets android updates for 3 years, not 2. Also iPhones get 5 years of software updates, sometimes 6. Good video
3 year from launch. It launched last year 😉
@@insidetechltd If you’re doing it from launch wouldn’t the S23 Ultra be 3 then? I’m pretty sure it was 3 for pixel, 4, for Samsung and guaranteed 5 for iPhone. Idk, maybe I’m wrong
The pixel is listed as a specific year to be supported until (2025 and 2027) whereas other companies like Samsung list specific numbers of years of support. So I changed the pixel’s numbers to match the other phones so we could have a consistent no. of years of support
@@insidetechltd Oh ok thx
This year, Samsung takes the crown. S23 Ultra is nearly perfect phone, I enjoy it more than my company 14 Pro. BTW, really I enjoy the most your videos! You deserve more subs cause you are doing hell good job !
Yeah it does, fair play to Samsung 👏🏼 And thanks a lot!
The only issue is on the S23U is the camera and video, video isnt as good as the iPhone and photos arent as good as the Pixel 7 Pro. Also the shutter lag on the Samsung is unacceptable on a $1200 phone
@@ssaini5028 partially true, from other hand this is one of the few android flagships which has video quality close to the iphone. Let's be honest, iphone is and will be king in that department.
@@DamianNocun he S23U video quality is good, but not close to the iPhone not at all. Panning, noise, low light, autofocus, color science and dynamic range is just better on the iPhone video. Video is just better quality overall
@@ssaini5028 low light video in this review is questionable, most other reviews doesn't have this iso problem he definitely has a problem with the settings of his phone.
Do you happen to have a link for that wallpaper?
The main things the iPhone does better than the S23 ultra are auto brightness, video and haptics (seems a bit smoother too)
Auto brightness is a great point actually - I should probably include that (if my videos weren't already super long!)
@@insidetechltd Ha you mentioned it's the brightest outdoors so I think that covered it. Great to see Samsung have pretty much caught up on smoothness and battery tho.
IPhone 14 Pro Max is a great phone, but the S23 Ultra has a bigger range of capabilities in video with genuine stabilized 8K and 10x optical. Many independent tests give the low light video crown to the S23 Ultra which surprises me but I feel the IPhone's noise control is incredible and second to none, but it darkens the image to aid this. In bright conditions the IPhone wins in overall quality, but just. And the S23 Ultra is yet to receive it's first big camera software update, which is worth noting.
@wsi1871 Yes the iPhone screens are brighter but due to a poor cooling solution they'll only let you max out the screen brightness for a few mins before getting dimmer than the Samsung.
So even in terms of brightness I'll take the Samsung.
How is your channel this small? And please don't change your review style as you get more followers.
I'm very grateful to have this many subscribers already - anything else is a very flattering bonus!
Got a 14 pro max a week ago, came from an S22 and I am enjoying it. I am done with Samsung after awful experience I’ve had with S22
Samsung took it's eye of the ball with the S22 series for sure.
The Tensor story was supposed to be better control over updates than Qualcomm chips, but the Samsung with a Snapdragon outdoes it on updates, outdoes it on speed, AND is more efficient while trouncing it. Tensor has been super underwhelming, and their hand waving about ML doesn't pan out either since you can do that on SD or A16 even better.
Hard not to completely agree with this 👏🏼
The tensor wasn't designed for benchmarks. It's strength is more AI. Day to day there is literally no difference.
@@wlonsdale1 Yet it's not even ahead in most aspects of AI. Sorry, it's just a tired rebranded Exynos with a few Google accelerated bits, and just not being as fast is one thing but it also burns more power while being slower is the big issue.
Samsung offers one more large android update, that's it. But the pixel is still ahead. Updates come faster and more reliably
The Pixel 7 Pro completely destroys those other guys. It has Face ID which works well, you didn't mention that, and the fingerprint ID's light makes it cooler. Stop down playing the Pixel Pro for those other chumps.
It doesn't have Face ID. It has face unlock, which is a different, non-secure method. I focussed on the secure biometric methods for each phone and covered them
Listen closely to his words regarding iPhone. Never really a negative. That's not good for iPhone users as it puts no pressure on Apple to address and deliver in its future devices...shame.
Is saying the iPhone has the 'least aesthetically pleasing' display not a negative? Selective hearing perhaps...
Great video. I think you do a fantastic job at being thorough. My only critsism would be when testing the camera. Unless the pictures are taken at the exact same time at the exact same distance and with exactly the same amount of shake or no shake. It's never gonna be 100% accurate. But then I know that's impossible ha ha 😁
Thank you. I must say that I work extremely hard to capture as close as possible images with smartphones. I take each shot in the exact same position and within seconds of each other. Some reviewers will attach the phones to a rig side by side and speed up the capture time this way - but you don't have the lens in the exact same position so this skews the photos (I do it manually each time to get it exact, and also to allow a natural movement whilst taking the photo so that stabilisation can be accounted for and not removed). This gives you the best interpretation of how the lenses differ between phones (as opposed the person taking the image being in a different position each time).
As you said, it's physically impossible to do the exact same position and time - but i'd like to think I get damn close, and I work hard to do this
I had the iPhone 14 Pro Max and now I have the S23 Ultra and the Pixel 7 Pro. I really like the S23 Ultra, but the Pixel 7 Pro is a much better shape to hold and expecially indoor the Pixel-camera is in a league of its own. I have been switching back and forth but I guess I will continue with the Pixel 7 Pro and sell the S23 Ultra. I simply trust the camera of the Pixel way more.
I do too
👍 And what about the battery life? Lasts one day?
Yess the software comparison would be awesome
👍🏼
Don't get the Pixel 7 Pro, the Battery 🔋 is HORRIBLE !!!! save ur money and get the S23 Ultra.
It's definitely noticeably worse...
Great in-depth review, loved seeing the comparisons and analysis of each phone's features and capabilities👌
Thanks a lot 🙌🏼
@@insidetechltd ❤
So, im more interested in decent loud speakers and big screen rather than anything else as all I do is watch UA-cam videos .. what’s the best option Samsung?
Yeah probably Samsung for that 👍🏼
I love you
💚
I have used them all, I still prefer pixel 7 pro 💥
You clearly haven't fully used em all, LOL.
I still wish apple can use the dynamic Island for all notifications.. They find a smart way to use that for more cleaner pop up notification... From sms to everything in between
Agreed, they've gotta utilise it more 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd for real.. Imagine if notifications came out with cool water like drops from the dynamic island...? That would be fire
I really like the detailed videos. Even if I had bought one of these phones the day they dropped into the shops, I would still watch these comparisons
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
in the end it does not really matter. just need some phone to watch netflix and youtube...right?
Not at $1000+ 😧
S23 ultra vs iPhone 14 pro
I love my pixel 7 it's a fantastic phone very clean
Glad you like it!
Battery life on my Google pixel phones has been very disappointing. I don't think the megapixel count has anything to do with the shallow depth of field of the Samsung. That depends on aperture. So it might be interesting to know what aperture is the default on each phone for each lens. I shoot almost all the time in night sight on my pixel. It is important to note that so much is adjustable in the camera app. One can add blur after the fact not just to recent pics but to pics from the distant past. One can also easily add brightness with the dynamic or enhance suggestions or manually with the adjust controls. I have recently started to shoot in raw and JPEG. Processing the raw later on my computer. Makes a huge difference when one eliminates all of Google's algorithm additions. In the normal camera setting, the pixel takes a quick series of shots. You can simply accept the suggested one or choose one or more of the many others. So if a person blinks in the suggested shot, you may be able to find and clear-eyed shot taken before or after that one. Outside of the camera, I find Google translate to be one of the better features. I'm not sure how the other two phones do on the various aspects I have mentioned to above.
It's not the megapixel count, no. It's both the aperture and the sensor size (the apertures are shown in this video at the start of the camera section)
The pixel is just so boring that I'll never consider paying USD 700+ for it.
Nice comparison...
Thank you!
Hi, I love your comparison videos! They're amazing. where do you get these phones to compare them?
Selfie camera video and video calling is absolutely horrible on the pixel 7 pro, AVOID
Thank you! I bought them each from their online stores
does the pixel 7 pro have the march gcam 8.8 update? Seen another UA-camr show the difference in the camera and photos
Latest updates 👍🏼
Anyone know what wallpaper the pixel is using at 23:29?
It's a reverse I made of an old OnePlus background - happy to share it on twitter if you want it!
#Team_Pixel ❤
Wow, iphones night video is ridiculously good
iPhone video in general is great tbh
I don't like the sound quality in the S23 selfie mode, hopefully Samsung will fix that with an update.
The noise cancellation can be quite aggressive - works well sometimes, but I preferred the other two
iPhone 14 pro max is king as always. Optimization video photos/ iMessage full quality video and photo sending with no needing links. All apps social media optimized. There will always be 1 king and that’s IPhone.
Pixel apps are also optimised now . I even think Samsung's are ( in the android arena ) coming from an iPhone and pixel user
It's funny how I've seen three other videos showing battery life is better on the S23 ultra...I guess every UA-camr has their political bias..shame.
Yes, it's very politically motivated of me to say that they are 'neck and neck' for battery life
What game was that @ 8:20?
Pascal's Wager
What do you think about Google Pixel 8 PRO?
I'll give you my full thoughts in a comparison video with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the S24 Ultra!
@@insidetechltd WoW.I can not wait...
if you want better video quality on Samsung turn off auto fps
All of these phone are good😢
Nah, Tensor is an Exynos in disguise. I will never ever lay a finger on anything even remotely similar to Exynos
Fantastic comparation. Love the videos
Thanks a lot 🙌🏼
Great Video but you did not mention the Ultras Face ID while talking about biometrics
No. It's not a secure biometric method. I only highlighted the secure methods for all three
Amazing review, keep it up 👍
Thanks a lot!
This is the second video I see from you and I have to say; I always walk away having learned something from your videos.
Just to compare I bought the s23 512gb version for £1099 (traded a Samsung S4 believe it or not they valued it at 150 + another £150 off with a discount voucher); if I compare this spec for spec with the pixel that is retailing at around £949 before you apply a much less generous trade in, and knowing Samsung will give me more coverage with updates and much better spec that doesn't rely on actively listening to me the entire day (privacy concern here) then I think the Samsung gives better value.
I probably have a bias against Google as I bought the first generation pixel XL which never aged well, and Google have a track record of abandoning their products and so I don't trust it.
Thanks a lot!
excellent video as always! appreciate it!
Thank you 👊🏼
I just got the pixel pro, and it heats up way too fast
What game is that at 8:42
Genshin Impact
The s23u is the better phone by far
Love your videos but honestly you clearly are wrong about bezel size! Pixel has the thickness bezels out of the bunch! The curve display kind of hides how thick they are. Second the s23 ultra has a massive bottoms bezel that isn’t symmetrical at all! The only phone with thin symmetrical bezels is the iPhone. The human eye prefers symmetry. I agree about the front camera cutout being better in android but let’s be honest about bezel sizes here. Other than that Fantastic video as usual and keep up the great work.
No. He's 100% correct as I look at my pixel 7 pro
It's not about the eye...it's about the brain.
Pixel fan boy alert! The Ultra is simply the best
It's a better phone, I still like the Pixel more
If they bring out the Pixel 7a, thats the one I will look at, speks and price, if not will go for the S23
Just hoping the display isn’t trash on Pixel 7a, but otherwise it could be very promising!
The boxy look is better
What would you choose between iphone 12 vs Pixel 7
Pixel 7
I think that the s23 Ultra is the best all-rounded phone where iPhone does X better and Pixel does Y better, however, the overall rounded device this year is S23 Ultra and its not just about the camera, its battery, performance (gaming) no throttling, faster charging than Apple, its a no brainer! There was hardly any discussion about the S-Pen / Samsung DeX and Multi-Tasking optimizations where the Samung with its Eco System is superior to Google and Apple, for me that's a win :)
I agree - it's the best all round phone. Sorry the DeX/S Pen bits were so short, i've covered it so many times before and didn't want this long video to run even longer!
I don't like esims
You can gift me any one if you want🙂
By the great videos always loved your content.. By the way what's the name of the song playing on the speaker test
Thanks a lot!
That’s an NCS release called “Runaway”. If you search UA-cam for that you’ll get it 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd awesome going to check it out
The pixel 7 pro has a bad overheating problem too, I moved to iPhone 14 pro max and it’s far better
That's fair 🤷♂️
Pixel 7 $450, Samsung S23 $750.
In the UK the standard Samsung S23 is the same price as the pixel 7Pro
Can you share the wallpaper?
Sure! Hit me up on twitter and i'll send it over @insidetechltd
iphones is best for gaming
Very wrong. Check out the latest thermal test on UA-cam with s23U and pixel 7 pro and iPhone 14 pro max. Not only higher framerates but way better long endurance gaming for performance
FYI the pixel has 5 years security and 3 years software
From when it was new. That would be 4 and 2 more years now in 2023 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd fairs
I own a Pixel 7 (non Pro). Chose the 7 over the 7 Pro mainly due to the size. After watching your S23 video, I thought "maybe I should go back to Samsung due to all the improvements." Still had those thoughts watching this video. Have had no issues with the 7 and then I looked at my purchase receipt for the 7. With trade-in, I paid ~$160.00 USD for the 7. After your personal choice of the 7 Pro, I believe I am going to remain happy with my 7. Thank you Adam!
What's the point of comparing a $600 phone to a $1200 phone. Please explain 😐
@@liljaeger2k What's the point of spending $1,200 when a $600 phone does practically the same thing?
@@mcsigler Yeah this is the thing I was thinking. Look in my pov i use some social media and some UA-cam. And some light games such as clash royal and clash of clans. And i just need maybe 5-6hr sot. So i was looking for a phone and i saw best buy was selling for 650-750. So in this 700-800 range i fing 4 choice op11,s23,pixel7pro and iphone 13/14. Personally for some limitations i don't prefer or like ios. Op11 is shit imo. Now the choice is s23 and pixel7pro. I know s23 is faster, superior bla bla. But i think tensor g2 has enough power to do all the task to do. So i wanted see still people's opinions s23 vs pixel7pro. But I'm disappointed because everyone is comparing s23u or i14pro/max.like why I'm not going to spend 1100-1200 for a phone.
I see you have the base model. I wanted to know if you think that I can buy a pixel7pro for my need.
I charge overnight then i go to university and do some light tasks like listening to music,doing some notes, watching UA-cam,and some facebook Instagram Whatsapp things. Occasionally when i travel i love to take photos. Not much into video. And here and there i play some games like clash royale,clash of clans for 10-20min max.
Now the question you think is pixel7pro is not going to be enough for me ?
Looking for your recommendation ☺️
@FayFlix. I have a friend that owns the 7 Pro & loves it. Yes, better display, better camera, and bigger battery than the 7. If there's one caveat, it's battery life. Just about every review of the 7 Pro I've seen says the battery life is "average" & I agree. With the way you use your phone, I'm kind of hesitant to say that you'd make it all day on one charge. I'm sure everything else would perform well and you'd be happy with the Pro 7. I really wish battery life was better! I've heard the S23+ has great battery life. The one thing that annoys me about Samsung is their duplicate apps that you can't get rid of. Waste of space on the phone with what I consider bloatware.
first
Nice 🔥
What a great video 🎉. I think it's a three way tie. I had the pixel 4 and using it was incredible with the Ai.. I had the s20 and the hardware was incredible. Now I have 14 Pro Max and the ecosystem is a trap. I'm stuck after buying apple watch ultra, airport pro 2 and a Mac 🐑
Thanks a lot!
Still have one pixel 4 plus left. The features still work better than the 7 Pro, especially face unlock having the notch with integrated with sensors that actually work. Still not happy with Google killing off a perfectly good working phone after 3 years no longer supporting with security patches. Samsungs have all the bells and whistles but then you're being spied on by both Google and Samsung. Been waiting for Apple to finally ditch the lightning port and offer up their version of Google call screening / Google assistant for years now.... With all the profits Apple makes I can't believe they overlook and let Google dominate with more advanced tech and features. The iPhones are definitely the most reliable and hold their value the best and normally get the best apps first.
