- We compare the camera on the new Galaxy S23 Ultra vs the older S22 Ultra, S21 Ultra and even S20 Ultra to see what are the real camera differences and whether smartphone camera innovation is really happening, or we have been conditioned to believe cameras are evolving while they are not. Have four years of camera evolution brought a massive change?

Yes the 23 Ultra is a brilliant photography and (especially for me) video tool, but all the phones it was competing against here have brilliant flagship cameras of their time and have been improved and perfected over their lifespan. This test to me showed that the S23U is not the finished article yet by any means, but for a new device it has magnificent potential. The 22U to me can teach it things at this point in time as it takes better photos in some scenarios, but a year of updates from now it should have it's backside handed to it on a plate by the S23U. The 24U will come out and it's camera will be outperformed by the 23U in many areas for a time before it develops to become Samsung's finest and so on. It is the circle of technolife.
I actually like the S22 Ultra best
There are still many situations where I prefer the S22 to the S23, maybe with future updates I will change my mind
It’s because the s22 ultra had a year of updates to improve on the camera software while the s23 hasn’t gotten many software updates yet
In most of these cases I actually prefer S22 over the others.
yeah, at least in photo, s22u have better detail contrast 9:49 photo in s22u is clear and s23u is blur...maybe the bad timing photo that samsung always have?
@@pabloalvarez253 The S23 has very aggressive noise reduction, sacrificing detail and making the photo softer. The same goes for the main camera.
Basically, optimisation.
That's basically i also noticed, hope s24 ultra will come with a big flourishing
I must say that this is the best phone comparison i have seen all my life ! Well done mate. Subscribed .
I am sorry you can OBVIOUSLY see the S21 Ultra has a very noticeably better front camera...Wild.
I would say the Rear camera is also better where it matters on the S21U.
People say, get the S20 or the S21, because the camera is just as good and they're less expensive. Yes, but I wanted the S Pen and more storage. So I bought the 1tb S22 Ultra.
Exactly 👍
That kind of space is only useful if you are doing serious file storage. I never maxed out my 256gb phone and I just got the 512GB. I believe the more important number is your system Ram. The S21 Ultra has more system ram than both the S22U and the S23U. They max out as 12gb as the S21 max out at 16gb.
@@Oblivionsurveyorim still on the s20 ultra with 16gb ram 512gb storage and a 1tb sd.
The S20U received its final support Android UI update to Android 13 UI 5.1. At least the S21U is still in the support.
thanks a lot, this is very helpful.
I'm really liking this nightography on the s23 ultra.
Thank you for this comparison. We expect you to test the battery for all these devices and the pressure of the processor. Also, try it on these phones
Thank you for this review. I am an iPhone user (don't all boo me at once lol) but after recently upgrading to the 14 plus, I am really disappointed with the camera. 5x zoom is ridiculously disappointing. It's just frustrating, particularly as someone who enjoys taking photos (& does it a lot) that the camera for the contract price I am paying is so crap. Definitely leaning towards the S22 Ultra after watching this, so thank you for posting. 📲👍🙂
Go for the 21 ultra ...a better bargain and just as good as the 22
Welcome to the flagship battle Era. Where phone companies rush unfinished products on the market every 6 months.
But we only get the "final" version after another 6 months of updates 😑.
Very little improvement over years. Most notable one is picture noise in darkness, but in videos that difference becomes much smaller.
Do you see any rear lens transitioning issue on S23 Ultra?
While holding S23 Ultra very still, the objects/scenery tend to shift/arrange itself when shifting between 0.6x,1x,3x and 10x lenses.
Any specific reason why S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra have this issue? Why did S21 Ultra being their first with this configuration never faced such issue.
Looking forward to your insight. Thanks.
I belive this occurs because the physical location of the camera its using is changing which causes slight shifts that can be seen and the s21 was able to control this more but as the sensors get bigger it gets harder to control
@@landintaylor3027 Hmmmm... but it would be great if they could control it... it looks odd while transitioning... end results are great... no doubt... but this is something that can be worked upon i think... perhaps blurring while this transitioning happens to hide this "so called flaw"... just like the pro mode of theirs... check it out to understand what i mean...
I noticed the same... My S21 Ultra also had better lens alignment when zooming
you said s22 ultra front camera video on the edge is a bit blurry , that's because S22 ultra had a shallower depth of field than the S23 ultra
why you didnt included portrait shots. already know that S23u will dominate in it,but still curious to know how it perform against its predecessor
Did you use the Exynos or Snapdragon S22 Ultra?
I thought the S22 Ultra was better throughout.
Love my S22 ultra 👑
I was searching for this video you are great
Love my S21U for sure. Only just got the S23U, so still playing around with it, but so far, extremely promising, and a worthy upgrade so far. Looking forward to trying Astrophotography which was already amazing on the S21U ✨️
S20 ещё актуален.
Samsung must of paid him to praise the S23 Ultra because he did it when it clearly didn't win in some comparisons I bought a sky blue S23 Ultra when they released and returned it and went back to my S21 Ultra after 1 week which I still use it's a better phone and I take pictures constantly and didn't miss anything going back down 2 generations. Night shots theirs less street light flares but u lose quality in your image on the 23 Ultra so just don't look at a Street light when u take pictures and have the exact same quality the 23 Ultra has.
Used all those ultras shown in ur vid hence I do understand and appreciate the improvements samsung has made over the years
Not about the camera but on the phone exterior design, I say my top 1 is the S21 then S23, S22 and last S20
i have s21 ultra and i just love its design i don't wanna change but s23 does have better camera im confused
@@AbdulMoiz-qj6ko I suggest waiting for s24 ultra if your phone works fine
@@nobody.7.10.7 it works perfectly fine for normal use but in game PUBG it drops frame most of the time and battery is alright but not perfect and the cameras are nkt as good as s23U but I'll think btw thanks for suggestion
S23 already received a new camera update.
In my view there is a big step of improvement from the s22 Ultra. The s23 Ultra is in some ways a better camera phone in addition to the s22 Ultra Especially in some scenarios as well as in video especially at night but this difference is not as chaotic as the difference that the s22 Ultra has from its predecessor s21 Ultra. Also the sound of a video from s20Ultra and s21 Ultra is very bad but from s22 ultra and s23 Ultra ist very good and they are now comparable to iPhone
What's the best upgrade from the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and the S20 Ultra features ?
Got the s23 ultra
Which s21 ultra are you using, is exynos or Snapdragon?
After coming from an S21 Ultra what I can say is the biggest improvement on the S23 Ultra is consistency. The S21U's HDR would only work 50% of the time, it was completely unreliable, while the S23U gets almost 100% of the shots right. Also the S21U would heat up and start lagging like crazy, which is not a problem on the S23U. Absolutely amazing phone, this was a HUGE upgrade to me!
S21 ultra Exynos or snapdragon ?
Probably exynos I didn’t have that problem with snapdragon
Snapdragon 888 is generally known to overheat, and it unfortunately was same on the S21U, which also equates to faster battery degradation
@@lucaspanasski331 Exynos. But the Snapdragon version, although better, isn't perfect either, because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 was also manufactured by Samsung Foundry instead of TSMC like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
Damn the software plays a huge role in this I would say.
Likewise would be the same for google 5a, 6a,6,7
And iPhone 12,13,14 series
Cameras have reached the peak I would say..
I think this is the best video about Camera comparison.....!!!
I Owned S20 Ultra....I Really Wonder How Samsung Improving Their Camera Year By Year.....
The S23 Ultra only takes good pictures in cooler lighting but in strong lighting pictures change colors to green, yellow or orange. It's the least among them when it comes to color balance. The only improvements I see from it are the details in the photos but only with pictures taken in cooler lighting.
I think most of these color grading problems will go away in the next camera update. I might add two more problems: Blue shadows and cyan sky color. However, it is just in some scenarios and especially the one you describe: Strong lighting sources facing towards the camera such as the sun a couple of hours before sunset and hdr engine seems to be responsible. The main camera on the s22u does have less texture and details, but sometimes the s23u seems to sharpen everything slightly too much on rough surfaces - other times it just looks amazing.
This actually seems like a paid advertisement for the S23 Ultra. All of them are still very good. The upgrades are minimal but they are barely noticeable to the average Joe with the exception of the OIS on the S20U. I have ALL of them so I'm speaking for myself.
6:28 bro that lag with the s23ultra I can’t😭💀
Hello. I want to switch from S21 Ultra to S22 Ultra or S23 Ultra but I can't decide. Is it worth opting for S23u or is it k and S22u?
S 22
@@feskar1 Not worth it AT ALL, I can get a free S23 Ultra from my insurance and I said I didn't want it. They cut me a check for my S21 Ultra instead for 1300$, I purchased a renewed model off amazon, hopefully it works out. If I don't like it I will trade it in for the S23 Ultra as a last resort. S21U has a better display/design and more system Ram 16gb vs 12gb. differences in the cameras are not enough for me to give up the design of the S21 Ultra.
The 22U has a better depth of feild in the front cam and yes. The s21U has WAY too much clarity. I went from, M31 to S10 5G to my current. S21 u. And i was like "wtt is this" lr helps but eh. Maybe ill jump to the s22 or 23 later down the line when they cheapen
S23 ultra clearly a big improvment.
Well okay, you proved me and everyone else claiming that there is no real camera innovation wrong. Great video.
PS: Something that would be really really interesting and quality information when doing camera testing ( especially the pixel vs iphone vs samsung comparisons) which no one else does and would be extremely helpful for everyone is to charge all the phones to 100% and at the end of the test tell us how much battery each phone has left.
Usually battery tests are not that comprehensive towards different camera usage and therefore we dont get much input on that, however when doing a bunch of stuff during the camera test it would gives us a great idea of how well each phone preserves battery on realistic shooting, pretty much for free, just need to have all phones to 100% and that's it, since you are essentially doing the same stuff on each phone.
Great video
For videos I give it for s23 but for photos I gave slightly edge to s22
Ok so basically, it is NOT worth spending $1000 for an upgrade. Very subtle changes. Thanks for this video
I always notice corner sharpness issue since I use S10 and then Z Flip3, it's really bad especially when you take a picture to closer image, thanks god they fix it in S23 ultra. I will upgrade my phone to S24 Ultra next year, I hope that phone can last me 4-5 years in use.
Do video like this about iPhone 11 pro max vs 12 pro max vs 13 pro max vs 14 pro max
It,s All theme Snapdragon? Please Answer And thanx
Exynos I think from the S21 Ultra to the S22U because he lives in Bulgaria.
@@androidoneiu5206 👍🤠
La del s22 ultra me gusta más.
Im still thinking about which phone i should get. Should i get the s21 ultra or s23 ultra 🤔😅Is the s23 ultra really alot better or ist it almost identical?
S21 has more system ram 16b vs 12gb, S21 has better display and better front facing camera. Rear cameras is almost identical to the S23 Ultra, it only beats it in the 100x shots.
If you guys complain about innovation.. u shud addres that to iPhone
THANK YOU
if new edition better then the old , so for what do comparison?
Y'all complaining about Samsung's innovation yet they have actually put effort into their cameras and have done improvements year by year on the phone overall. If you guys want to talk about innovation and complain, go to iPhone
S20 ultra natural colors
Do the same test with the iPhones. Thanks
That would be dope.. iPhone 11 vs iPhone 12 vs iPhone 13 vs iPhone 14..
If he could do the Pro/Pro Max models as well, that would be nice
Design on 21 is the best...
I'll keep my s22 ultra
I will keep my S20 ultra 😮
I think 22 is best so far.
Looks basically the same to me. Feels like this is a feelgood video for those
Who got scammed of buying a new phone.
You bought the same phone twice, gratz
Why I am feeling s20 ultra is better
They just nerfed the camera quality of s20U ...last year on andriod 12 its in the best color science and brightest ... its on s22 ultra now.
1:26 you dim wit, the reason the background is blurry on the S21 ultra on the selfie camera is because of the 40mp large sensor
Love your blue and yellow jacket! Awesome test!
Some firmware update to get better photos on cameras
Honestly none of these cameras worth the update, the difference is quality if below minor. Yes something is visible but I wouldn't even be able to judge if it's a change towards better or worse. It seems like that with smartphones cameras we reached the maximum of the technology.
Ех, май сгреших с 23u 🤔
Камерата ми е важна и се надявам да се подобри с времето.
S21 ultra me gustó mas
Yes. Is there any app to soften/ reduce sharpness in photos.
On the S23 Ultra Kollipara the downloadable camera assistant becomes a part of the overall camera settings and this gives a toggle for picture softening. You can set it to three settings; picture softening off or picture softening medium or picture softening high.
Camera Assistant in Galaxy Store.
Why didn't you replace the s20 ultra by the note20 ultra honestly whit the mess the s20 ultra is people would be more interested to see the note20 ultra in this comparison
101% samsung s21 ultra is the best among the rest
And the s23 are going to look like the s22 when the s24 ultra drops.
In thw night video i think the s22U looks better and sharper..don't know why
Turn off scene optimizer takes away yellow timt
Vic likes the yellow tint but only on his iphones.
i think they reach near the top and theres no much room for improvement.its small tweaks each year thers less and less improvement than the previous gen year after year... maybe they done this in perpose for marketing and profitability
Now when the S24 comes out the S23 will be treated like the S21 or S22. Nothing is permanent. We'll, I'm overall happy with my S22 Ultra.
S21 wins?
S23 ultra stability was very best
Same, a lot of reviewers are just making a hype though to be honest s23 ultra has poor hdr. And at same time blown out sky
S21 is the better to me
Love it galaxy s20 ultra❤
The S22 Ultra seems to be better than the S23
Yes believe me I have S23U for a week returned it and decide to keep the S22U.
Personal opinion about s23
Back cam: improved
Front cam: trash(blue, pinkish effect)
You could have mentioned about shutter speed and blurry photos of moving objects/pets/children.
My guess, they're gonna bring 3d photo/videos back. And apple is going spin it as a brand new invention!
I do hope 3d cameras make a comeback!
Bruh 😅 would have been awesome if NOTE 20 ULTRA was included too
Doa pra mim uma tela e a traseira do S20 Ultra. Tava sem telefone e ganhei um desee, só que não tenho condições de comprar o frontal e a traseira que está quebrada. Tô usando ele mesmo assim.
There's only so much a phone camera can do. They got limitations
Now I just think that companies make their camera in old phones worse and keep the new phone camera as it is. So we believe that new camera is improved
Viba.el.s.20.ultra.amigo.LindA.makina
As long as you don't use the same frame, focus point and manual settings on the tested phone cameras and the one you are filming them with, the "test" is almost useless...
No doubt the S23 are the best among them in most cases, but with the exact same manual settings the differences between them would be less than with everything in auto.
You should see the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra Selfie Cam 😍
Bruh S21 Ultra camera is better :O
21 ultra the best
what do you
mean not much difference.
S23 Ultra has a new display, ram, storage, better stabilization,cpu, sensor, speakers and sound, battery, better cleaner and crisper zoom in 3x, 10x, 30x etc!
It's a whole new beast, no comparison to the S22 Ultra that was tweaked version of the S21 Ultra.
There is nothing the same as the 22 Ultra beside the maybe the look of Squareness and camera lens positions, which is bigger on the S23 Ultra.
What is the same as the S22 Ultra?
The S22 Ultra was not worth any upgrade.
S22 ultra is beast price also
Bye....I'm going to buy S20 ultra 👋
Yes i am also
Go with 21
8k ????
S21 ultra better than all
Yep. Just got one. 😊
@@bradleyswaney6100 yeah s21 ultra is so much better for being 2 years old, camera is just as good also.
@jas350 yep.. i have an S20 fe I've been using since it came out. Served me well. Loved it. No more os updates now, tho. 13 is the last.
After months of research and the price point, there is nothing better.
Smart switch worked perfectly, so I'm happy. 👌
I read there was a possibility the S20 series might be getting Android 14 w/ One UI 6.0... so fingers crossed @bradleyswaney6100 🤞🏼
Me 2 😊@@bradleyswaney6100
Not any big differene , so I still keep my galaxy note 9
there is a little gap the camera performances of these 3 phones
S23, huge
Son todos SNAPDRAGON?En caso que el s22 ultra sea SNAPDRAGON, se nota mucho el sobrecalentamiento al grabar video ?
