The fact the Pixel is able to compete with these two flagships costing double the price is staggering. Either Google are making a loss on each unit, or the other companies are overcharging.
I switched from a 13 Pro Max to a Pixel 7 Pro yesterday. It was $300 off so I gave it a shot. They seem to have fixed all the issues I had with the 6 Pro. Loving it so far. Still the cleanest and snappiest UI and it's much easier to hold. Charges as slow as the iPhone though. That's my only complaint so far.
I have only had it for a few days so the battery management isn't optimized yet. But I don't game. Just take some photos here and there and use it for Reddit and UA-cam as well as Spotify and podcast apps. Battery shows it lasts around 20 hours when fully charged. Getting through a full day so far. After a week or two I'll try to report back with screen on time per charge and usage.
I used the s-pen constantly on my Note 20 Ultra. Most of the time I used it as a bluetooth remote to record videos and group selfies but it's also awesome for screen capping specific parts of the screen. Much faster to take notes as well. It's my favorite feature
The s-pen has way more functionality than he mentioned. Most of these reviewers have no clue what it can do. All of them try to make it out to be a gimmick.
can't believe u gave the display medal to iphone display doesn't only mean brightness it consists of functionality looks etc, I'd compromise on 250 nits brightness rather than compromising on that beautiful display with multiple functionality
I really laughed aloud at this. First place to a display that hits 2000 nits. For all of 10 minutes outdoors before it overheats and dims!.. UNBELIEVABLE..🤣🤣🤣🤣💩
The s23 has an erase feature as well on photos, arguably better because you can literally use the S pen to get the exact cut out you want, so that's two gimmicks... That aren't
Fyi, the Pixel series has the Extra Dim feature too, it was added with Android 12. The feature lives in the pull down menu. Depending on your pull down menu configuration sometimes it needs to be added by clicking on the pen icon. Nevertheless, once there it's easily accessible.

We start fixing it by correcting people when they're wrong. Otherwise, the stupidity continues to grow unchecked.
1) Pixel 7 Pro has arguably the best camera between all of them. Seems like a strange ommision from a review about 3 phones designed with mobile photography in mind. 2) Pictures take longer on the pixel because of the post processing which is more complex (it uses AI, and a whole other host of features such as auto lens distortion correction), not because of the processor speed. Also, it only feels slower because you have the animation speed set to the default speed setting. Go into developer options and set animations to 0.5X and it will be just as fast as the other 2. 3) How are you going to talk about software and not mention the literal best parts about the pixel? Call screening. Direct my Call. Hold for me. Clear voice. Voice to text that doesn't suck. All of these make using the phone.. as a phone a better experience. Otherwise good review.
I believe the Pixel does have a fatal flaw in having very poor network connectivity, it tried so hard to be a camera, it forgot it is a PHONE first and foremost!! In my country people are regretting buying it because the network connectivity is abysmal. They cut the costs in all the wrong places to make it cheaper.... that said I still love Pixels, just hope they can justify being compared to the other best phones on the planet.
@@fredsigu6684he said 1500 nits, if I am not wrong. Although I agree with the OP's comment, he did skimp over a lot of features on both the Android phones, Pixel especially.
Comparing two of something isn't too tricky but comparing three in a review is. Giving such a well balanced and informative review of 3 phones in 16 odd mins, gotta say hats off. Great vdo
I'm honestly looking forward to what Samsung could offer in the future. At least I know they're listening to their consumers little by little. I hope they'll improve on app optimization, gaming, and battery (even though I know it's better now, it could still be more so). So far, I'm completely happy with my S23 Ultra! I'll probably upgrade when S27 or S28 comes out. Who knows though, they might surprise us with an even better phone and I might be tempted. Hahahaha
@@tolani05 apple's main customers are people who need to show they have money without being rich, because after buying the iphone they no longer have the money to buy a pc, even a small one at $500.
I am surprised that no one mentions a huge advantage is the dual sim capabilities, which S23 ultra has by default. Also for value you get 150 pounds off for exchanging any broken samsung device.
I came from the Note 9, to note 10, to note 20 ultra, now s23 ultra. I don't know how a phone could get better than this. The battery is absolutely ridiculous. I'll still keep my note 20 ultra, it'll be fun to switch back and forth time to time. But this thing is on a whole new level.
@@jamesapple724 The s23 ultra had a stable release and is only getting updates as we speak. The iphone 14 had a downright hellscape of a release with their cameras vibrating into oblivion and so so many bugs and glitches, especially with the dynamic island. The iphone only got more usable with updates, not better.
Galaxy software is hands down the best, especially if you're using good lock. One hand gestures, multi-tasking, and customization possibilities seem unlimited. Functions you didn't even realize you needed until you've explored and found out. Got to tip my hat to their software team.
Only reason to get a iPhone if your in the Apple eco system with an iPad, MacBook, iMac, or Mac Mini. Other wise I think I would go for the S23 ultra for a preorder to save money and get more ram as well!!!
@@relaxationsounds6981 saving money is probably the last thing I’d get the Samsung for. Overall apple needs to give their UI a refresh.. Samsung is (finally) catching up
@@relaxationsounds6981 sorry about the wrong verb tense at the start of my previous comment. Anyhow, if apple actually decided to give their only selling point (now more than ever I think) a refresh they could really strike back. And I’m sure that more than one android user would switch over if the ram was also increased. I’m really hoping this years iphone 15/15 pros have a big upgrade because I need a new phone..
@EuServers lol, I think Apple was the one releasing updates to nerf performance to encourage upgrades. My note 20 ultra has better performance now than it did at release.
6:26 There was no reason for you to make the argument about the IPhone having better video quality than the S23U. I paused the video, checked for quality overall; they're about even in 4K30fps, with the S23U just having less sharpening on the buildings in the background & less artifacts in the water. Creators need to stop handing Apple favors in the camera department, because honestly, there are so many androids out there that are proven to be better. MKBH even made a video that suggests Apple not even being as good as people say it is.
I love my S23 Ultra. Customers love using the pen for signatures on invoices rather than using their finger in a box on a tablet. I find it useful to take quick notes as I write faster than typing (odd, I know). Autocorrect also doesn't screw that up. This is the first flagship phone I've gotten since the S8+. My battery lasts for a solid 18-22 hours and does great for work as well as home life. Can't complain about this investment. Just hope it lasts for quite awhile as I spent over a grand on this
this year ı prefer s23u. this gen galaxy is the best flag ship for me. good upgrade compare to last years (video,photo, battery display and chipset). ı wont change my phone (ı am 13 pro user) beacuse ı love my ecosystem but so good for galaxy owners.
Have a Pixel 7 but couldn't resist getting a S23 Ultra with the deal I managed to get. Pixel is good, but the lack of telephoto lens, only 128GB storage, and daily modem issues have left me wanting more. For $600 though, it's much more than half the phone that I'm sure the S23 Ultra will be
You lost me at "S-pen is a gimmick" Just because you don't have a reason to use it, doesn't mean other people don't. Many people draw with the S-Pen as well as use it jot down quick notes while on the job, as well as all of the bluetooth features, such as taking photos by using the button on the S-Pen.
I kinda think he looked over some of the use cases for the S Pen. I use it for way more than quick notes. Number one being a shutter button which is great when you want to take pictures of you and your family from a short distance. It makes editing easier, great for games that I tend to fat-finger, great for smart select and so on...
For who wants a productivity phone Note/Ultra has no competition. iPhone it's for the Apple users only. And Pixel phone has better software. Overall Samsung S23 Ultra is the best for me and it will remain in the first place for a long time.. Honestly I think that this vid is a bit unfair and a bit early,since S23 Ultra is a new phone without all these optimization patches received like the other two..
Pixel has cleaner software, but really lacks features, so it's only better if you want a barebones Android experience. I have a P7 Pro, but really tempted by 23 Ultra because of battery life and s pen
I don't understand why you said that the S23 ultra video quality not good vs the iPhone and the pixel. I have the S23 ultra and the video quality is amazing
It has been like ages when an UA-camr called S Pen a gimmick. There is literally no phone which makes video editing, masking, sketching ( I mean it.) ,highlighting, croping, singing, Photo clicking, hovering to check whtssp mssgs without reading👌😅 this is a real pen and more integrated in os than apple pencil.
A great comparison of flagships iPhone Pro Max, Pixel 7 Pro, and Samsung S23 Ultra. All are top with their respective niches, so it truly is a personal priority issue. I'm especially curious about the comparative battery testing, since battery longevity is among top buyer priorities. Thank you!
Samsung is going to blow everyone out of the water over the next 5 years - their overall business is so market-leading. The hardware and software leaps in this S23 Ultra are insane given it's at launch standard (no updates).
@@santiagofigueredo1885 I kinda agree with him. Having used several phones including many Galaxys, I prefer OnePlus’ OxygenOS. It’s just a much cleaner UI and isn’t filled with bloatware and gimmicks. iOS is just as simple and efficient as a mobile operating systems can be.
@Benjamin Jagun One UI isnt that bad anymore. id rather have it over MIUI but pixel experience and ios are obviously going to be better, its never been samsungs strong point tbh
Watching on my s23 ultra right now. Believe it or not I upgraded from a Razer Phone 2, which I absolutely loved. I thought it would be difficult to find a phone which was as perfect for me as that Razer Phone was, but this Samsung does that and more. The only thing I miss is the rgb logo on the back lol
Omg, the link issue with iPhone drives me crazy!! That and the limitations/frustrations with Siri as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor are a few of the reasons why I’m switching to the Samsung Galaxy after using strictly iPhones since the 4s. Apple is content resting on their laurels and are always behind the other brands when they used to be the industry leader.
And samsung finally has Apple level polish. The S22 U and S23 U are beautiful phones, and the UI is SO fluid, stable and intuitive. You can also customize the gesture/UI which is great; and it doesn't glitch out on you.
I don't have much money, being able to take a great smartphone like Pixel 7 Pro for 600 pieces is a great thing. So for me Pixel 7 Pro is the definitive choice.
Had the s21 ultra now I got the s23 ultra Alot of the improvements, but the best one I would like to point out is the battery!!! Amazing job 👏 last the whole day
I am in a critical situation. Using S21 ultra and 12 pro Max last 2 yr. Now in exchange of 12 pro Max I am getting s23 ultra tomorrow. In exchange of S21 ultra I was thinking to buy pixel 7 pro but man this S21 ultra still hold so good that I couldn't throw it out of my life. I am thinking next year I may go for pixel 8 pro. ❤️
@@youweechube Welp, I won't ever trust Google service anymore, too easy to be hacked. Even tho I already activated 2-factor authentication, my account still got hacked. The problem is that all my password is stored in there, using samsung service is way more secured as it's not as opened as Google's. That alone already deserve 550$ more worthy
Hey man I don’t know if you’ll see this but I will say both on the pixel and the Samsung, the processing power and animation speed can both be improved from 1.0 to .5 using developer options.
I thought the whole AutoFocus channel from MKBHD was so that he tests different phones' vide capabilities especially when there is a new phone. Not just the iPhone. I think even his latest one is from the s23 because it just came out
And ZOT just glossed over 8k even though so many other UA-camrs including MKBHD are saying how great it is and it's actually usable because of the great stabilization. I also can't believe he gave 2nd place for video to the pixel but whatever.
@@torezgermy2 If you look at the video comparison, the Pixel was noticeably better than the S23 Ultra. It had better HDR, more vibrant colors and better contrast.
I like your videos and wishing good luck! But with all due respect I think your evaluation for S23 Ultra vs Apple video was a failure. Even Pixel 7pro does much better job than IPhone. 1. No video pause for iPhone (makes your storage to become a junkyard if you try to shoot a clip) 2. No camera flipping during the recording process (absolute must for vloggers) 3. Microphone becomes useless while zooming a bit and quality decreases as 100 USD cheap smartphone. I think you should reconsider video part for these phones. Because any Mid range Android will beat Apple phones for practicality.
I wish someone would test how long the peak brightness last. I know the iPhone 14 pro will last no more than 2 minutes at peak brightness in direct sunlight, before over heating and dimming very dark. With the Samsung being able to handle a higher sustained nits in HDR content, one can assume the iPhone probably still has a thermal issue with their screens.
I don't understand when people talk about the designs of these smartphones they ignore the notch on top of the iPhone screen 🤯 its literally stuck in the past
I am a fan of the Pixel. I like that its software is so easy to use. I love that it automatically screens the spam calls for me. Stays on hold for me, etc. Googles software is hands down the best in my experience. Battery lasts all day. The Samsung's I had in the past were just full of bloatware, they broke easily was not impressed. I will never buy an iPhone.
I recently switched from 14 plus 256 gb to s23 ultra, I am pretty much happy with the change, now I feel like I am using a perfect all-round phone, the iPhone base models sucks, don't buy sure u will regret with them.
iPhone still can’t be touched in everyday raw performance. If you want a phone for gaming get the S23 Ultra, but for the best everyday high end reliable fast, nothing better than Apple
@@VisionaryTech you are right on paper. The GPU is better on the S 23 ultra but I believe where the bottleneck happens is the snapdragons CPU performance… CPU/GPU go hand-in-hand one doesn’t work at its peak performance without the other, of course so I do retract my statement.
Watching this on my 14 Pro, but after using it for around 8 months I must acknowledge that an S23 Ultra would have been a more well-rounded choice. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is awesome but on a broader scale with its limitations it feels more like a feature phone compared to the ever versatile S23 Ultra.
Glad to see that Samsung has caught up with iPhone's battery life. Unless you are trapped in the Apple ecosystem the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the one to go for
Battery and the ecosystem are important to me. I have AirPod Pros, an Apple Watch and an Apple card. My 14 Pro Max has been nothing but good for me. As an iPhone fan, I will say Samsung is really REALLY stepping it up.
@@tolani05 The s23u easily beats the iphone in battery life considering it also charges faster, therefore you get more usable time on the phone. Get out of here with ur bs
@Benjamin Jagun bro guys i have seen the logic of a guy here but the thing is that samsung has a higher 1440 x 3200 wqhd display so if y make qhd which 1080p = iphone , then the battery will be better than it
Team Samsung, camera is absolutely great. I find my self using the s-pen a lot to extract text from pictures or areas I can't copy, also as a remote to take pictures. Super helpful for family pictures or a nice tourist shot on a tripod
There are pre-booking events in each country, and I'm happy to buy Galaxy s23u 512GB for $850 at a large electronics store with cashbags. Ordinary people need more photos than videos, but especially at night, if pictures are shaken or difficult to see, it's very sad to lose all our memories of the day after returning home.
I love my pixel 7 pro but the 2 things that kinda bother me is the sound isn't loud enough even tho it has 2 holes in the bottom but one is for show apparently. I even sometimes think my previous phone (Galaxy S10) sounded a bit louder. And the 5000mah battery doesn't last as long as the competition. Still a very VERY good phone and enjoyable experience especially with that amazing price.
Hard to take you seriously if you call things gimmicks just because you're not into them. Those features are important to other people so they can't be gimmicks.
The keyboard thing was a gimmick for the unique quality lmao. That said, i think the s-pen for taking pics is cool. But the coolest thing to me is the DeX feature. Turing a phone into a computer with an external monitor and a keyboard and mouse.. come on now.. thats cool. In terms of ecosystem... come on now. Apple cant even communicate with a PC llol
Wow, this video is incredibly informative! 😍 It's so interesting to see how these three flagship phones compare and I'm grateful for the detailed analysis. 👏
@TobyFromGT to be honest, we don't need to have 2000 brightness all the time 20 mins is plenty enough to serve the purpose. Who would like to continuously watch something under direct sunlight?
@TobyFromGT S23 has a superior display in terms of efficiency. I'm not sure if you have seen the graphs that are floating around in the internet now. If you are calling samsung display is superior without witnessing those graphs means you are showing abit favourism. BTW we are only talking about the brightness and iPhone still wins in that area and we must accept the truth.
Hard to go wrong with any of these. I have the s23U and I love it, but I've never been a fan of iphones. My wife has the iphone 14 and I hate if I have to use it for anything.
12:30 No.. I have tried both the S23 Ultra and 14 Pro Max speakers and the iPhone is much better at many different aspects. I’ve always loved your content but now I’m kinda not liking it, unfair.
Do not agree with the best display to iphone with that huge notch and just a 250 nitsbmore max brightness which won't sustain like s23 ultra. If brightness is the only parameter then samsung better put very huge notch or band up there and increase the max brightness to 2500 nits and reviewers will appreciate that. Or only apple has that liberty too
interesting vid - the only thing id ask u to consider is when giving specific points to each cat, you are assuming each cat is of equal importance / weighting, which of course is never the case and is nearly always subject. what i would suggest in future comparison vids, you look in to the Kepner tregoe method; i find it much more accurate. thx for sharing your thoughts :)
4:23 pixel has extra dim as well and iPhone is ALWAYS sluggish due to its OS. It’s crazy fast in running applications but clunky switching between things and multitasking
Not everyone is better at typing. I write much faster than I type, so the S pen is my go to when I need to jot down points without even having to unlock the phone...
The Now Playing feature is so underrated on the Pixel. I always hear songs in public I like, and instead of having to shazam the song its already there on my lock screen
16:07 it also should be evaluated in the price section that the iPhone holds its value for longer than Android phones if you want to sell it later down the line.
Had an iPhone12Pro and switched to the Pixel 6 Pro and its to this Date the best smartphone experience I ever had. Price is just amazing and my hardcore iPhone Friends where amazed by the Camera. (You really have to try your best to shoot bad photos!)
I have both the s23ultra and 14pm I got rid of the pixel 7 pro. Since I need to lines I figured I'd keep the best of both worlds in my opinion. For my business I use my iphone 14pm and for personal ill choose the s23ultra all day everyday. I love to customize and have a bit more freedom on my personal phone and samsung does the best job in that category for me. Sold my s22ultra and returned the pixel 7pro not because it was bad but I like the samsung better. Surprisingly though my s23ultra feels much smoother than my s22ultra and battery lasts significantly longer and gaming my device stays cooler.
They put some really high end thermal management in the S23U, it thermal throttles a lot less than other phones. I think the only phones with better thermal management are dedicated gaming phones.
I just switched to iPhone 14 pro max from the s22 ultra. I love them both in different ways. I definitely had issues with both my wife’s and mine. Could have been bad luck but after some expensive insurance claims decided to switch. Neither of us are easy on phones. Love the Face ID feature a lot though. My hands are constantly dirty and the finger id didn’t work often.
The S23 ultra is in a league of its own like the z flip and z fold. There is no equivalent by any other major brand. The more appropriate comparison to the iphone and pixel is the S23+ which despite being "mid-tier" will still handily beat or match both the flagship iphone and pixel models. And at a lower price point than the iphone pro max.
FYI, the Jackery is not a generator. It does not produce electricity. It only stores it in large batteries. The optional solar panels would be generators for the Jackery device. I hate when people are mislead by wording. That being said, Jackery is a great device for carrying silent power with you.
ive never used samsung and been using iphone since 3gs, but this new one especially the ultra s23 is magical ive never seen a phone like it before and just bought it last night and trying to find a way to transfer data to it

I'll probably upgrade when S27 or S28 comes out. Who knows though, they might surprise us with an even better phone and I might be tempted. Hahahaha
U will want to upgrade when fold 5 will come out 😅
@@erlinddema I'll betray S series when fold 5 comes out. sorry S series Fold better 😂
@@tolani05they arent "happy" about apple they just think that whats annoying in apple is bad in all phones so they dont even bother switching
@@tolani05 apple's main customers are people who need to show they have money without being rich, because after buying the iphone they no longer have the money to buy a pc, even a small one at $500.
Do u have tree of money?
I am surprised that no one mentions a huge advantage is the dual sim capabilities, which S23 ultra has by default. Also for value you get 150 pounds off for exchanging any broken samsung device.
It's bullshit we don't get dual sim out of the box in USA
Pretty much no one uses dual sim in north America. They will most likely just get a second phone
Americans thinking the world revolves around them.
Ignore them, I value the dual sim very highly
americans balls freeze as soon as they hear apple....they go crazy
Iphone has dual sim too
I came from the Note 9, to note 10, to note 20 ultra, now s23 ultra. I don't know how a phone could get better than this. The battery is absolutely ridiculous. I'll still keep my note 20 ultra, it'll be fun to switch back and forth time to time. But this thing is on a whole new level.
The battery and video especially are getting improved with software updates on the s23ultra with software updates
Likewise with the iPhone
@@jamesapple724 The s23 ultra had a stable release and is only getting updates as we speak. The iphone 14 had a downright hellscape of a release with their cameras vibrating into oblivion and so so many bugs and glitches, especially with the dynamic island. The iphone only got more usable with updates, not better.
Galaxy software is hands down the best, especially if you're using good lock. One hand gestures, multi-tasking, and customization possibilities seem unlimited. Functions you didn't even realize you needed until you've explored and found out. Got to tip my hat to their software team.
Only reason to get a iPhone if your in the Apple eco system with an iPad, MacBook, iMac, or Mac Mini. Other wise I think I would go for the S23 ultra for a preorder to save money and get more ram as well!!!
@@relaxationsounds6981 saving money is probably the last thing I’d get the Samsung for.
Overall apple needs to give their UI a refresh.. Samsung is (finally) catching up
@@Pea-G I agree, Apple needs a UI refresh and Samsung is catching up on the speed side and battery.
@@relaxationsounds6981 sorry about the wrong verb tense at the start of my previous comment.
Anyhow, if apple actually decided to give their only selling point (now more than ever I think) a refresh they could really strike back. And I’m sure that more than one android user would switch over if the ram was also increased.
I’m really hoping this years iphone 15/15 pros have a big upgrade because I need a new phone..
@EuServers lol, I think Apple was the one releasing updates to nerf performance to encourage upgrades. My note 20 ultra has better performance now than it did at release.
6:26 There was no reason for you to make the argument about the IPhone having better video quality than the S23U. I paused the video, checked for quality overall; they're about even in 4K30fps, with the S23U just having less sharpening on the buildings in the background & less artifacts in the water.
Creators need to stop handing Apple favors in the camera department, because honestly, there are so many androids out there that are proven to be better. MKBH even made a video that suggests Apple not even being as good as people say it is.
I love my S23 Ultra. Customers love using the pen for signatures on invoices rather than using their finger in a box on a tablet. I find it useful to take quick notes as I write faster than typing (odd, I know). Autocorrect also doesn't screw that up. This is the first flagship phone I've gotten since the S8+. My battery lasts for a solid 18-22 hours and does great for work as well as home life. Can't complain about this investment. Just hope it lasts for quite awhile as I spent over a grand on this
They seem pretty durable. My S22U looks and runs like it's brand new. I had good luck with samsung phones durability.
I believe in Samsung products. I am just now looking to upgrade my S9+, and it still finds ways to impress me.
this year ı prefer s23u. this gen galaxy is the best flag ship for me. good upgrade compare to last years (video,photo, battery display and chipset). ı wont change my phone (ı am 13 pro user) beacuse ı love my ecosystem but so good for galaxy owners.
Pixel also has an extra dim mode. It's literally built into the quick settings.
Have a Pixel 7 but couldn't resist getting a S23 Ultra with the deal I managed to get. Pixel is good, but the lack of telephoto lens, only 128GB storage, and daily modem issues have left me wanting more. For $600 though, it's much more than half the phone that I'm sure the S23 Ultra will be
the pixel has a telephoto lens though
@@rv31931 I have a normal Pixel 7
@@rv31931 And it typically retails for $600 when not on a promo
Also you can get more memory in the pixel too
Go with Samsung
You lost me at "S-pen is a gimmick"
Just because you don't have a reason to use it, doesn't mean other people don't. Many people draw with the S-Pen as well as use it jot down quick notes while on the job, as well as all of the bluetooth features, such as taking photos by using the button on the S-Pen.
Yes bro he actually did a bias on that
I kinda think he looked over some of the use cases for the S Pen. I use it for way more than quick notes. Number one being a shutter button which is great when you want to take pictures of you and your family from a short distance. It makes editing easier, great for games that I tend to fat-finger, great for smart select and so on...
Or the dex, to choose a keyboard over that 😅
It's great for Asian like me to translate text that I don't understand directly using the s-pen
For who wants a productivity phone Note/Ultra has no competition. iPhone it's for the Apple users only. And Pixel phone has better software. Overall Samsung S23 Ultra is the best for me and it will remain in the first place for a long time..
Honestly I think that this vid is a bit unfair and a bit early,since S23 Ultra is a new phone without all these optimization patches received like the other two..
yes it will only get better in time
Pixel has cleaner software, but really lacks features, so it's only better if you want a barebones Android experience. I have a P7 Pro, but really tempted by 23 Ultra because of battery life and s pen
I don't understand why you said that the S23 ultra video quality not good vs the iPhone and the pixel.
I have the S23 ultra and the video quality is amazing
how less of a quality it is when compared to i14p in a scale of 10 ?
It has been like ages when an UA-camr called S Pen a gimmick. There is literally no phone which makes video editing, masking, sketching ( I mean it.) ,highlighting, croping, singing, Photo clicking, hovering to check whtssp mssgs without reading👌😅 this is a real pen and more integrated in os than apple pencil.
A great comparison of flagships iPhone Pro Max, Pixel 7 Pro, and Samsung S23 Ultra. All are top with their respective niches, so it truly is a personal priority issue. I'm especially curious about the comparative battery testing, since battery longevity is among top buyer priorities. Thank you!
Samsung hater be like:
@Benjamin Jagun lmao, that's the exact opposite lineup that the video came to.
Samsung is going to blow everyone out of the water over the next 5 years - their overall business is so market-leading. The hardware and software leaps in this S23 Ultra are insane given it's at launch standard (no updates).
@Benjamin Jagun you’re just hating for no reason. You’re spamming.
@@santiagofigueredo1885 I kinda agree with him. Having used several phones including many Galaxys, I prefer OnePlus’ OxygenOS. It’s just a much cleaner UI and isn’t filled with bloatware and gimmicks. iOS is just as simple and efficient as a mobile operating systems can be.
They won't be because One UI is so buggy and glitchy.
@Benjamin Jagun One UI isnt that bad anymore. id rather have it over MIUI but pixel experience and ios are obviously going to be better, its never been samsungs strong point tbh
@@tolani05 one UI 5.1 is God
Watching on my s23 ultra right now. Believe it or not I upgraded from a Razer Phone 2, which I absolutely loved. I thought it would be difficult to find a phone which was as perfect for me as that Razer Phone was, but this Samsung does that and more. The only thing I miss is the rgb logo on the back lol
I miss my razr. China got the Razr 3 😢
Omg, the link issue with iPhone drives me crazy!! That and the limitations/frustrations with Siri as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor are a few of the reasons why I’m switching to the Samsung Galaxy after using strictly iPhones since the 4s. Apple is content resting on their laurels and are always behind the other brands when they used to be the industry leader.
And samsung finally has Apple level polish. The S22 U and S23 U are beautiful phones, and the UI is SO fluid, stable and intuitive. You can also customize the gesture/UI which is great; and it doesn't glitch out on you.
@@jjoohhhnn Heck even the Note 20 Ultra is so refined and metallic
I don't have much money, being able to take a great smartphone like Pixel 7 Pro for 600 pieces is a great thing. So for me Pixel 7 Pro is the definitive choice.
Dude, the extra brightness is only for like 5secs. Lol
You can't even tell the difference when the 23 ultra and pro max are.side by side
Had the s21 ultra now I got the s23 ultra
Alot of the improvements, but the best one I would like to point out is the battery!!! Amazing job 👏 last the whole day
I am in a critical situation. Using S21 ultra and 12 pro Max last 2 yr. Now in exchange of 12 pro Max I am getting s23 ultra tomorrow. In exchange of S21 ultra I was thinking to buy pixel 7 pro but man this S21 ultra still hold so good that I couldn't throw it out of my life. I am thinking next year I may go for pixel 8 pro. ❤️

Get pixel pro and use the extra $550 for something else. 23 ultra isn't $550 better than pixel pro.
@@youweechube Welp, I won't ever trust Google service anymore, too easy to be hacked. Even tho I already activated 2-factor authentication, my account still got hacked. The problem is that all my password is stored in there, using samsung service is way more secured as it's not as opened as Google's. That alone already deserve 550$ more worthy
I wish I was in a 'critical situation' like this
Hey man I don’t know if you’ll see this but I will say both on the pixel and the Samsung, the processing power and animation speed can both be improved from 1.0 to .5 using developer options.
What is the iPhone's background? Looks gorgeous
I thought the whole AutoFocus channel from MKBHD was so that he tests different phones' vide capabilities especially when there is a new phone. Not just the iPhone. I think even his latest one is from the s23 because it just came out
And ZOT just glossed over 8k even though so many other UA-camrs including MKBHD are saying how great it is and it's actually usable because of the great stabilization. I also can't believe he gave 2nd place for video to the pixel but whatever.
@@torezgermy2 If you look at the video comparison, the Pixel was noticeably better than the S23 Ultra. It had better HDR, more vibrant colors and better contrast.
I like your videos and wishing good luck! But with all due respect I think your evaluation for S23 Ultra vs Apple video was a failure. Even Pixel 7pro does much better job than IPhone.
1. No video pause for iPhone (makes your storage to become a junkyard if you try to shoot a clip)
2. No camera flipping during the recording process (absolute must for vloggers)
3. Microphone becomes useless while zooming a bit and quality decreases as 100 USD cheap smartphone.
I think you should reconsider video part for these phones. Because any Mid range Android will beat Apple phones for practicality.
I wish someone would test how long the peak brightness last. I know the iPhone 14 pro will last no more than 2 minutes at peak brightness in direct sunlight, before over heating and dimming very dark. With the Samsung being able to handle a higher sustained nits in HDR content, one can assume the iPhone probably still has a thermal issue with their screens.
4:55 I totally lost it...why does the screen scroll so fast lmao
The transcribe & translate features on the Pixel 7 Pro are amazing too!
I don't understand when people talk about the designs of these smartphones they ignore the notch on top of the iPhone screen 🤯 its literally stuck in the past
I am a fan of the Pixel. I like that its software is so easy to use. I love that it automatically screens the spam calls for me. Stays on hold for me, etc. Googles software is hands down the best in my experience. Battery lasts all day. The Samsung's I had in the past were just full of bloatware, they broke easily was not impressed. I will never buy an iPhone.
Care to explain what happened?
Extra Dim is also available on the Pixel
I recently switched from 14 plus 256 gb to s23 ultra, I am pretty much happy with the change, now I feel like I am using a perfect all-round phone, the iPhone base models sucks, don't buy sure u will regret with them.
With the Samsung you can wireless power share, in short you can charge the iPhone and pixel 😅 your buds and watch
iPhone still can’t be touched in everyday raw performance. If you want a phone for gaming get the S23 Ultra, but for the best everyday high end reliable fast, nothing better than Apple
No, go for the iPhone if you want a phone for gaming. Alot of mobile eSports players use the iPhone for gaming
@@VisionaryTech you are right on paper. The GPU is better on the S 23 ultra but I believe where the bottleneck happens is the snapdragons CPU performance… CPU/GPU go hand-in-hand one doesn’t work at its peak performance without the other, of course so I do retract my statement.
IPhone is not as good as Samsung just because celebrities by it everyone wants one its such a common phone its boring
Watching this on my 14 Pro, but after using it for around 8 months I must acknowledge that an S23 Ultra would have been a more well-rounded choice. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is awesome but on a broader scale with its limitations it feels more like a feature phone compared to the ever versatile S23 Ultra.
Glad to see that Samsung has caught up with iPhone's battery life. Unless you are trapped in the Apple ecosystem the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the one to go for

@Benjamin Jagun bro guys i have seen the logic of a guy here but the thing is that samsung has a higher 1440 x 3200 wqhd display so if y make qhd which 1080p = iphone , then the battery will be better than it
@Benjamin Jagun you on everyone’s commenting nonsense ahahhahaha
I think the pixel 7 pro being almost half the price deserves more than three points.... You can literally get two for the price of the other phones.
Team Samsung, camera is absolutely great. I find my self using the s-pen a lot to extract text from pictures or areas I can't copy, also as a remote to take pictures. Super helpful for family pictures or a nice tourist shot on a tripod
There are pre-booking events in each country, and I'm happy to buy Galaxy s23u 512GB for $850 at a large electronics store with cashbags. Ordinary people need more photos than videos, but especially at night, if pictures are shaken or difficult to see, it's very sad to lose all our memories of the day after returning home.
I love my pixel 7 pro but the 2 things that kinda bother me is the sound isn't loud enough even tho it has 2 holes in the bottom but one is for show apparently. I even sometimes think my previous phone (Galaxy S10) sounded a bit louder. And the 5000mah battery doesn't last as long as the competition.
Still a very VERY good phone and enjoyable experience especially with that amazing price.

The keyboard thing was a gimmick for the unique quality lmao. That said, i think the s-pen for taking pics is cool. But the coolest thing to me is the DeX feature. Turing a phone into a computer with an external monitor and a keyboard and mouse.. come on now.. thats cool. In terms of ecosystem... come on now. Apple cant even communicate with a PC llol
But can the iphone sustain the peak brightness (2000 nits) for longer periods of time before dims because of heating?
Never been an issue for me.
P7P has extra dim in the quick settings.

Very short from what I understand. Like
@@mangostickyrye yes
@TobyFromGT to be honest, we don't need to have 2000 brightness all the time 20 mins is plenty enough to serve the purpose. Who would like to continuously watch something under direct sunlight?
@TobyFromGT S23 has a superior display in terms of efficiency. I'm not sure if you have seen the graphs that are floating around in the internet now. If you are calling samsung display is superior without witnessing those graphs means you are showing abit favourism.
BTW we are only talking about the brightness and iPhone still wins in that area and we must accept the truth.
A yes the grand debate between two Samsung displays with minor insignificant differences
Don't forget the 60GB of bloatware installed on the S23 Ultra.
Lol...what bloatware?....obviously haven't had a samsung in a while.....
Yeah, but is it possible to remove all of this bloatware tho?

I just received my Google Pixel 7 Pro (Black / 256GB) payed $470.00US brand new from Amazon. So excited
Do not agree with the best display to iphone with that huge notch and just a 250 nitsbmore max brightness which won't sustain like s23 ultra. If brightness is the only parameter then samsung better put very huge notch or band up there and increase the max brightness to 2500 nits and reviewers will appreciate that. Or only apple has that liberty too

In display category you missed about the resolution.. xD
interesting vid - the only thing id ask u to consider is when giving specific points to each cat, you are assuming each cat is of equal importance / weighting, which of course is never the case and is nearly always subject. what i would suggest in future comparison vids, you look in to the Kepner tregoe method; i find it much more accurate. thx for sharing your thoughts :)

I have both the s23ultra and 14pm I got rid of the pixel 7 pro. Since I need to lines I figured I'd keep the best of both worlds in my opinion. For my business I use my iphone 14pm and for personal ill choose the s23ultra all day everyday. I love to customize and have a bit more freedom on my personal phone and samsung does the best job in that category for me. Sold my s22ultra and returned the pixel 7pro not because it was bad but I like the samsung better. Surprisingly though my s23ultra feels much smoother than my s22ultra and battery lasts significantly longer and gaming my device stays cooler.
They put some really high end thermal management in the S23U, it thermal throttles a lot less than other phones. I think the only phones with better thermal management are dedicated gaming phones.
I just switched to iPhone 14 pro max from the s22 ultra. I love them both in different ways. I definitely had issues with both my wife’s and mine. Could have been bad luck but after some expensive insurance claims decided to switch. Neither of us are easy on phones. Love the Face ID feature a lot though. My hands are constantly dirty and the finger id didn’t work often.
The S23 ultra is in a league of its own like the z flip and z fold. There is no equivalent by any other major brand. The more appropriate comparison to the iphone and pixel is the S23+ which despite being "mid-tier" will still handily beat or match both the flagship iphone and pixel models. And at a lower price point than the iphone pro max.
FYI, the Jackery is not a generator. It does not produce electricity. It only stores it in large batteries. The optional solar panels would be generators for the Jackery device. I hate when people are mislead by wording. That being said, Jackery is a great device for carrying silent power with you.
