I think both are great and they are so good that the diffrence is minimal. Tho i like iphone better when using apps like instagram/snapchat, the quality on iphone is better then Samsung. I had a S22ultra and when i took photos or videos on snapchat, it was kind of a blurry and the quality wasnt that great, but on the iphone its perfect. Im still jealous on samsung that they have the insane zoom, i really miss that on my 14 pro max :)
Got my s23 ultra yesterday and still under the process of setting everything up. All I can say is this phone has blown my mind away especially the camera and battery. What a beast of a phone.
Thanks! You have been the first reviewer that has noticed the forced blue tint in iphone sky photos in cloudy days. Even the clouds are changed to blue, which screws the shot.
Yes, I would agree that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra takes it! What we have to bear in mind is that Samsung will release camera system updates down the line, which could perfect the experience. The Camera Assistant app (Galaxy App Store) helps to reduce shutter lag. Also, in Pro Mode, it is possible to adjust the White Balance, and other settings for perfection. I think 'reviewers' must emphasize this factor. Why? Simply because not everybody is going to be content to point and shoot; some of us like to fiddle about with settings to get optimum results. Finally, I would imagine that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra video footage lends itself to being easier to colour grade in a decent video editing app / software.
@@egaskrad 8K and 4k has no difference other than resolution lmao. You won't see a single difference between 8K and 4K unless you view the footage on a goddamn 8K tv that costs $9,000 dollars atleast. and also the shitty thing about 8K is that there's no nightmode, stabilisation, 60fps as well
3:45 You can turn off the macro mode in camera settings. I always wonder why people never explore the settings. 6:12 if you want to edit your images, shoot in raw and import in Lightroom mobile (free). That way you don't have to worry about the extra pop that iPhone adds to its JPEG and HEIF images.
The 14 Pro has a problem with focus on close objects (because of its lens). It's a hardware "problem". For example 13 Pro can focus at a shorter distance than the 14 Pro (I'm talking about the main camera).
@@henryforo3566 LR mobile is free except for the premium features. Yes, iPhone is boring compared to feature packed Android phones, but is very secure, plays all graphics intensive games smoothly for hours without a stutter and without any overheating, takes pristine photos and amazing 4k videos, runs smooth like hot knife thru butter, lasts forever if not abused, and retains excellent resale value. Just like a Lexus, it is not for people who seek thrill.
They need to stop shooting in HEIF format the image is losing detail this way. Jpeg or raw are the only options anyone shooting real photography should be using.
I did the unthinkable today. I had the galaxy z fold 3, then had the z fold 4 last year, then switched to the s23 ultra last month, and today I sold it off and bought an iPhone 14 pro max. I am kind of bored of samsung UI so I will go to apple world for a year. I upgrade every year, so it's not a big deal. I have a tab s8 ultra and galaxy book pro 2 360 laptop, so I am not really missing out on much since the galaxy tab s8 ultra interface is the same as the s23. I haven't used IOS in a hot minute ago. I am excited.
there is a setting in iphone to stop auto changing from main camera to ultra wide turn it off and you just get ultra wide mode when you press 0.5 zoom.. 3:36
Comparing cinematic to non cinematic on samsung and non HDR vs Pro Res isn't fair too. I am galaxy user but would have loved for you compare this equally
I bought an s 23 ultra last week unfortunately I had to send it back. When I uploaded my videos at the weekend none of them would play on my pc. I had an s 22 ultra for a year with no problems. I talked to the tech team at samsung for two days and they couldn't resolve the problem. As I need my camera for the weekend I just swapped back to my old phone. I was so disappointed. Maybe I just got a Monday phone.
Apple has proRAW which takes the standard coloring of the og picture and adds proRAW editing to help balance it out making much better looking pics then Samsung and I didn’t even mention macro mode which is amazing
many phones and cameras are not for everyone, Samsung has so many modes, and pro mode for people who know what they are doing, and not just take out the phone and take pictures automatically, those who don't know how to use, will buy something cheaper and more demanding
My opinion is that you should buy iphone, samsung, one plus... every year. It seems that the pictures of these phones make you see yourself in the same places, but in different colors.... 😉 Revolutionary and for 2023
It seems to be a trend at the beginning of the year, the latest Galaxy shines best, in the Fall, the iPhone has something that comes out to top it. It's almost as if they're in cahoots. So that they can keep leap frogging each other and thus make their loyalists pay the price with each new model.
i agree. Both phones have incredible cameras, but the majority of consumers will not be able to tell the difference. for the Creatives and/or tech nerds who pay attention to this, it's just fuel for the fire. Both are very capable, both can handle the family photos, and both once set in pro modes, can rival professional equipment (kind of). I'm intrigued by the stabilization of the S23U, as many other reviewers have mentioned is pretty incredible, and secondly, as a landscape photographer, I'd love to test the 200mpix camera on the same landscapes I'm shooting my pro gear on. My biggest gripe about phones is the lack of customization. And as a tech nerd, I like to define my user experience specific to my needs. I can kind of do it on the iPhone, but not quite like I can on Android. What I do like about iPhone is the chip integration and efficiencies it has.
Can u please tell me which has the better quality, clarity and less over sharpening , besides exposure, temperature and contrast coz these can be edited later but the quality is what matters
Most of the time, whatever result apple is produced, apple users always find a way to tip apple. When samsung was sharpening the image and apple was just producing real-time image, they said apple is true to natural and real color. I feel little bias on samsung. Videos do better in apple, but now i think it is now at par. I think it's users preference
ABSOLUTELY... Personally... I think the iphones cameras are overrated. I've own both Samsung and apple phones and I always miss my Samsung every time I use an iphone. Camera quality, the zoom, and the color quality is amazing on the S series (ultra forever) 😂
Samsung's shutter lag has been going downhill since the 16MP s6. That camera doesn't have all of the whizz bang software tweaks, but I pull it out every time I get a new phone to compare (s8, note 10+, s21 ultra, s23 ultra on order) and it not only can take literally 5 photos in the same time the others take 1, it still has the most detail out of anything that has come since. Even the s21 ultra at 100MP. I don't know why 12MP became the sweet spot, probably because of the multiplier for binning...but I would've loved to have seen them take the 16MP sensor and do some software magic with that, rather than go to these crazy high MP cameras. Maybe it wouldn't get the low light performance,.but it sucks that such an old camera does some really important things so much better.
I still use my s6 phone but after looking at all the problems new phones from Samsung are having with the cameras, I'm thinking of going iPhone this year. I am a real estate investor and need to take a lot of document photos and land plots. My old s6 does better than all new phone and I have a jack for phone calls. Phones now are in general complete shit for insane amount of money and giant turds in size.
I have a Samsung a90 and the camera lag is unbearable at times. I can't take close up photos of anything, it just doesnt focus and it drives me mad. I paint models and I need a phone thats good for taking close ups- as the models can be very small, and I dont want to just rely on zooming in fron a distance- I'd need to be physically close up. Would you say the 16MP is good for that?
Did you take every picture with 200mp mode on? Or did you shoot most photos on the default option? I find 200m0 over exposes greatly in certain situations.
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing, learned a lot. Which would you say is better for indoor low light video recording & front facing camera? If it’s the samsung, cool! If it’s the iPhone, would it be worth it or not going up to the 14 pro max from 14 pro. I think they pretty much the same? Looking to upgrade from iPhone xs. Again thanks!

@@Reeklifestyle just a note. s23u focuses on 8k video... I guess maybe they should do an iPhone 14 pro max 4k vs s23u 8k video comparison before you make the video quality statement.
@@egaskrad that's facts but my problem with Samsung is there Instagram and snapshot when upload on em da quality drops when take pictures in da camera app or video it's a amazing quality, but moment you post it on Instagram or snapshot da quality drop I don't like it that's why I switched to iPhone for now
what about upload quality? in the past, the processing on Samsung was not good, uploading from android to social media is horrible, can someone test that please?
For 15 years I had different Samsung S line phones, and off course Samsung is leading when you talk about the camera. But I don’t think Samsung is making the camera software better after an update. My S21+ was every time worse and worse after each update. I am glad with my first IPhone 14pro Max. Reliable quick and paying with the phone is great. So much problems with paying with my samsung phone with the fingerprint sensor that didn’t always work.
One thing I have to say about my 14 Pro is even when she is sitting still, the phone chooses to focus on the ground or something in front of her. I can tap her face to focus on it, and the final image still focuses on the foreground. It’s so annoying
Which camera has faster shutter for outdoor sports photos? For example, for photographing soccer games from the sidelines where there are fast moving objects so to decrease photo blur you need a fast shutter.
I realized that most iPhone fanatics try to dispute the powerful zoom in S23 since iPhone is not capable. But we need that powerful zoom especially when we go for animal discovery. And that 200 megapixels make the images more detailed without oversharpening. I would choose S23 Ultra any time.
@@slash3365 Is it RAW or JPEG file buddy? Yes, it's JPEG, it's overprocessed photo by the phone, and I actually don't need JPEGs in my work. Is it better than 48 mpx AppleRaw? No, for the reason I mentioned.

I'm typing this on S23 Ultra but...I'd rather have Iphone camera, to be honest. First of all - shutter lag is still there. I just can't believe that they can't solve what's there since my first Samsung, S7 edge. Yeah, pics of buildings and Moon are cool, but try capturing anything that's moving (kid, pet...) - it's still blurry. And there are some minor hiccups in camera too. I guess they will solve that with software update, and next one and...S24 series will come out and no one will even talk about S23. I can bet that releasing one device in, let's say three years - we would have better cameras, because they would put some time and effort in perfecting the damn software. Presenting new hardware every year is cool but - in reality, things aren't so great. So in conclusion, yes, I'd rather have Iphone camera. It's somehow - predictable. You kinda know what the final result will be. With Samsungs camera there is still a lot of hit and miss. Of course, as much as cameras are great, using a device in 2023 that doesn't even have split screen feature (with all that powerfull hardware) is a big no for me so I preordered Samsung...
@@RodriguesMatt nope, it's still there on standard camera. 50mpix and 200mpix are blazing fast (as fast as standard camera) but people on forums say that quality is bad compared to out of the box software
I own both. I loved my iPhone 14 pro max over my s22 ultra. my s22 ultra is a different story. in short there is absolutely nothing that the iPhone does better than the s23 ultra. people are saying this is a lazy update from Samsung. I disagree. this is easily the best update on any of their phones ever. the s23 ultra stands light years ahead of iPhone. it's literally in a different league. the best phone I have ever used and iv had them all.. apple iPhone has definitely been dethroned. well done Sammy. my belief in you has been restored
To me is doesn't matter what the Samsung camera can do. I tried Android ( after using the iPhone for years, and I have an iMac) ... I pulled out all my hair in less than A WEEK and gave up. I gave it to a friend who needed a new phone and could not afford to buy one. He is also .... an Android / Windows person! I went back to Apple. I am not talking about camera here... I am talking about finding things in Settings, moving around in the phone ... it's a different planet. It was impossible for me.
he didn't tested the 200MP photos. He didn't tested the 8k videos. He didn't tested the... well he didn't test anything that the iPhone doesn't even have.
Why do I need a camera? I don't like taking pictures even if I want to. Samsung Ultra 23 is good in camera only. It doesn't matter the design or the shape, you should look at the phone from the inside
Yeah overall improvement of samsung is insanely very good but still the issue of camera shutter lag is still slow and make the picture blurred or out of focus.
Note for those of us shooting in PAL countries, there is still no ability to film in the correct frame rates, 25/50fps, so you risk getting flickering lights and will have stuttering video when you try and mix this phones video with other footage filmed at the correct frame rate. Bizzare that Google/Samsung still refuse to give us this ability. You can shoot 25/50fps with phones, so buy that brand if this is important to you.
I can't wait my to arrive. I'm really impressed how Samsung managed to get better in every way. And finally , FINALLY, Europe have a Snapdragon model in stores.

TURN OFF MACRO MODE press the flower on the corner🤦🏾♂️ and here is the other thing, WHY ARE THESE REVIEWS DONE WITH THE IPHONE STORING IMAGES IN HIGH EFFICIENCY FORMAT. THEY ARE LOSING DETAIL BECAUSE THEY ARE SO COMPRESSED. Shoot in most compatible mode which is a full jpeg image or even better pro raw and i guarantee you will see a difference even if you shoot in most compatible(jpeg) mode
DxOMark ranks the new cameras of the S23 Ultra behind those of the iphone 13!!! pro Max. Sad but true. In reality, the cameras of the S23 Ultra can keep up and are even better depending on the situation.
The review of the video quality was a little too linear. The iPhone does not win in all situations when it comes to video. For example, at night time that has 23 ultra actually single-handedly beats the iPhone 14 pro Max due to the iPhones intense flaring dots. It also has more of a jitter. It's important to note, that also the 8K mode is extremely nice and situations where it works very well. I wouldn't say that 99% of users won't use AK mode, because it is just one tap. In fact most of the people who have the 23 are using 8k mode. I feel like some people are too quick to assume that anything that requires one press the majority of people will not use. I think this is a fallacy and just a very linear and lazy way of thinking. Even with that said, with standard video shooting the Samsung is far better at night.
Love the pictures of St John's and Signal Hill I am on tge the fence I been using android for years and I kinda want to try Apple but am afraid I won't like it'll. What do you suggests?
S23 Ultra and its not even close. I've had both phones for months and the iPhone is lacking so much detail. It prioritizes shutter speed for quality which sucks.
How you easily know which is better and true to life? Compare the iphone video shots to the DSLR camera he is using to record the entire video, the smartphone that’s closest to it, is clearly the better video camera phone, and iphone is way closer to it, I mean look at his skin tone for God sake what is that pink color on the s23? It’s like they applied a filter on it
Great content Mark. I think you’d enjoy for your phone (or camera). Optical glass lens (not plastic/acrylic), universal compatibility with brands, models for your iPhones, Pixels, Galaxy, etc, and control over buttons and touchscreens in any environment. Let me know if you have questions. Keep up the great work. JR. 📸💪
The shutter lag on the S23 Ultra is a deal breaker. It's OK to stand there for the perfect shot, but try taking shots real world & the Samsung won't compete. Sent back,
As a compact phone lover, I think 14 pro is very much ok for camera. I know s23u is good than ip14 pro. But it's a minimal difference. It'll not impact on our daily life.
@@NeverSettleForMediocrity 8k on paper is surely 100% better than 4k but what I wrote above I refer to in reality. For example 8k 24frame on s22 ultra, 4k can give more benefits than 8k. Please open mind and think you before wrote it out. Thank
obviously S23 ultra is winner in this time. Edge detection almost perfect then iPhone 14 Pro Max. Overall best photo and video provide you S23 ultra then iPhone 14 Pro Max.
android is linux. linux was unix. unix is what the super computer uses. it is powerful, flexible and open ended. iOS... well... is rubbish. do you know how many super computers use iOS as their OS?
Apple fanboys dismissing the 3x and 10x video of the S23U all because it destroys the iPhone there and yet when the iPhone finally gets one, they would say it's the greatest feat of engineering. I can't count the times when i wished my S20 had much better zoom when recording video.. be it at parties when everyone is fighting for a spot, or at excursions or beaches. The list goes on.

@@egaskrad that's facts but my problem with Samsung is there Instagram and snapshot when upload on em da quality drops when take pictures in da camera app or video it's a amazing quality, but moment you post it on Instagram or snapshot da quality drop I don't like it that's why I switched to iPhone for now
good comparison. btw what watch are you wearing? its nice.
200 mega pixel sensor = narrow depth of field??
what about upload quality? in the past, the processing on Samsung was not good, uploading from android to social media is horrible, can someone test that please?
For 15 years I had different Samsung S line phones, and off course Samsung is leading when you talk about the camera. But I don’t think Samsung is making the camera software better after an update. My S21+ was every time worse and worse after each update. I am glad with my first IPhone 14pro Max. Reliable quick and paying with the phone is great. So much problems with paying with my samsung phone with the fingerprint sensor that didn’t always work.
One thing I have to say about my 14 Pro is even when she is sitting still, the phone chooses to focus on the ground or something in front of her. I can tap her face to focus on it, and the final image still focuses on the foreground. It’s so annoying
If Samsung will keep improving their cam quality like this ,they r gonna give iphone a seriously hard competition
I am watching iPhone 14 pro this video ❤
Which camera has faster shutter for outdoor sports photos? For example, for photographing soccer games from the sidelines where there are fast moving objects so to decrease photo blur you need a fast shutter.
1:59 that actually looks the same as the Samsung 10x optical. Would be good to see them side by side
I realized that most iPhone fanatics try to dispute the powerful zoom in S23 since iPhone is not capable. But we need that powerful zoom especially when we go for animal discovery. And that 200 megapixels make the images more detailed without oversharpening. I would choose S23 Ultra any time.
bruh, but that 200 mpx is OVERSHARPENING as hell.. If not the sharpness and doo much contrast I'd go for it..
@@pentagramyt417 no over-sharpening. You are able to zoom very far with it without exaggeration.
@@pentagramyt417 don't know what you talking about tbh......everything you just said is actually the contrary
@@slash3365 Is it RAW or JPEG file buddy? Yes, it's JPEG, it's overprocessed photo by the phone, and I actually don't need JPEGs in my work. Is it better than 48 mpx AppleRaw? No, for the reason I mentioned.
@@pentagramyt417 you are so ignorant and Bold about it 😭😭😭....yes, there's a 200mp raw format in samsungs pro mode which takes higher rez pictures than the iphone for editing works ... it just had a ridiculous file size
I've literally watched numnerous reviews and comparisons on it already smh
Dont forget iPhone have optimize and updates s23u is total new and going to beat all of them with the next updates always The up makes big differens after 😜
@@andyH_England The bring update to The camera about it also The gen 2 is much more power full to handle it, exynos is The problem before in eu, only one thing is bad about this phone The speed of the charger I dont understand why 45w only not even 65w and realme show us 240w epic.

I'm typing this on S23 Ultra but...I'd rather have Iphone camera, to be honest. First of all - shutter lag is still there. I just can't believe that they can't solve what's there since my first Samsung, S7 edge. Yeah, pics of buildings and Moon are cool, but try capturing anything that's moving (kid, pet...) - it's still blurry. And there are some minor hiccups in camera too. I guess they will solve that with software update, and next one and...S24 series will come out and no one will even talk about S23. I can bet that releasing one device in, let's say three years - we would have better cameras, because they would put some time and effort in perfecting the damn software. Presenting new hardware every year is cool but - in reality, things aren't so great. So in conclusion, yes, I'd rather have Iphone camera. It's somehow - predictable. You kinda know what the final result will be. With Samsungs camera there is still a lot of hit and miss. Of course, as much as cameras are great, using a device in 2023 that doesn't even have split screen feature (with all that powerfull hardware) is a big no for me so I preordered Samsung...
shutter lag i guess is solve by now no?
@@RodriguesMatt nope, it's still there on standard camera. 50mpix and 200mpix are blazing fast (as fast as standard camera) but people on forums say that quality is bad compared to out of the box software
But does It lose quality after posting on Whatsapp??
Have you turned off the scene optimizer? Cuz many ppl tend to forget to turn it off and then talk about the colors being to vibrant.
That s23 ultra portrait video was nuts
iPhone, 14 for sure🔥🔥
so there is no blame for iPhone 14 pro, especially if you are a videographer and long term optimization more software and hardware
iphone's Cinematic mode is 👎... I don't know why creators keep using this feature
I own both. I loved my iPhone 14 pro max over my s22 ultra. my s22 ultra is a different story. in short there is absolutely nothing that the iPhone does better than the s23 ultra. people are saying this is a lazy update from Samsung. I disagree. this is easily the best update on any of their phones ever. the s23 ultra stands light years ahead of iPhone. it's literally in a different league. the best phone I have ever used and iv had them all.. apple iPhone has definitely been dethroned. well done Sammy. my belief in you has been restored
Light years is a grave exaggeration. In different categories they trade blows
@@michealadebz no! I think I'm right. Yep, I'll settle for that
Does Samsung S23 ultra loose quality when you post on Whatsapp??
To me is doesn't matter what the Samsung camera can do. I tried Android ( after using the iPhone for years, and I have an iMac) ... I pulled out all my hair in less than A WEEK and gave up. I gave it to a friend who needed a new phone and could not afford to buy one. He is also .... an Android / Windows person!
I went back to Apple. I am not talking about camera here... I am talking about finding things in Settings, moving around in the phone ... it's a different planet.
It was impossible for me.
Shame you didn't test the night video and photos, cause the S23U clearly beats the iPhone there.
he didn't tested the 200MP photos. He didn't tested the 8k videos. He didn't tested the... well he didn't test anything that the iPhone doesn't even have.
@@egaskrad exactly..8k video on the s23 is really better than the 4k on the iphone
@@andyH_England stabilisation is really good on the s23 though
Why do I need a camera? I don't like taking pictures even if I want to. Samsung Ultra 23 is good in camera only. It doesn't matter the design or the shape, you should look at the phone from the inside
@@andyH_England And your suspect is WRONG, Smasung hater lmao
When is your full review coming
Within a couple days I think!
Watching on my S23 ultra❤
S23 Ultra top
S23 ultra 🔥
Yeah overall improvement of samsung is insanely very good but still the issue of camera shutter lag is still slow and make the picture blurred or out of focus.
Note for those of us shooting in PAL countries, there is still no ability to film in the correct frame rates, 25/50fps, so you risk getting flickering lights and will have stuttering video when you try and mix this phones video with other footage filmed at the correct frame rate.
Bizzare that Google/Samsung still refuse to give us this ability.
You can shoot 25/50fps with phones, so buy that brand if this is important to you.
A clear Win for Samsung S23ultra look At the Cinematic Mode that's insane ❤🔥I really like the S23ultra ....
I can't wait my to arrive. I'm really impressed how Samsung managed to get better in every way. And finally , FINALLY, Europe have a Snapdragon model in stores.
Lucky you😢😢
My god. S23U is so much better. Its magical. Great work samsung💜
I love to see it Samsung has really out done themselves
It has severe shutter lag
@@P__114 doesnot bother much to me. End quality is absolute Supremacy👌🏻
@@P__114 there is a setting to reduce shutter lag
@@shomari17 lol. Typical Samsung.
Absolutely love my 14 pro but I have to say the Samsung s23 ultra is phenomenal ❤🎉
Why do I need a camera? I don't like taking pictures even if I want to. Samsung Ultra 23 is good in camera only. It doesn't matter the design or the shape, you should look at the phone from the inside
S23 Ultra sucked IPhone in all aspects
Iphone 👎👎🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
TURN OFF MACRO MODE press the flower on the corner🤦🏾♂️ and here is the other thing, WHY ARE THESE REVIEWS DONE WITH THE IPHONE STORING IMAGES IN HIGH EFFICIENCY FORMAT. THEY ARE LOSING DETAIL BECAUSE THEY ARE SO COMPRESSED. Shoot in most compatible mode which is a full jpeg image or even better pro raw and i guarantee you will see a difference even if you shoot in most compatible(jpeg) mode
DxOMark ranks the new cameras of the S23 Ultra behind those of the iphone 13!!! pro Max. Sad but true. In reality, the cameras of the S23 Ultra can keep up and are even better depending on the situation.
The review of the video quality was a little too linear. The iPhone does not win in all situations when it comes to video.
For example, at night time that has 23 ultra actually single-handedly beats the iPhone 14 pro Max due to the iPhones intense flaring dots. It also has more of a jitter. It's important to note, that also the 8K mode is extremely nice and situations where it works very well.
I wouldn't say that 99% of users won't use AK mode, because it is just one tap.
In fact most of the people who have the 23 are using 8k mode.
I feel like some people are too quick to assume that anything that requires one press the majority of people will not use. I think this is a fallacy and just a very linear and lazy way of thinking.
Even with that said, with standard video shooting the Samsung is far better at night.
It also has more detail with 8K on during the day as well, and it has better dynamic range at nighttime with a k on.
Love the pictures of St John's and Signal Hill I am on tge the fence I been using android for years and I kinda want to try Apple but am afraid I won't like it'll. What do you suggests?
I've red that Samsung is working to fix the shutter lag.
S23 Ultra and its not even close. I've had both phones for months and the iPhone is lacking so much detail. It prioritizes shutter speed for quality which sucks.
The portrait video mode of Samsung better by far than Cinematic mode. And Overall i think Samsung is Better
The Ultra was clearly better in this portrait video (7:49). About the mic I think that iPhone won though.
How you easily know which is better and true to life? Compare the iphone video shots to the DSLR camera he is using to record the entire video, the smartphone that’s closest to it, is clearly the better video camera phone, and iphone is way closer to it, I mean look at his skin tone for God sake what is that pink color on the s23? It’s like they applied a filter on it
Samsung did fit the shutter lag is in the settings but it will cost you some quality so I don't know if it's worth it
i still love the iPhone camera
Or ecosystem?> xD
@@amadeuszmurek4782 been using iPhone since the first iPhone classic the camera is awesome yes it's ecosystem do you have a problem with that? 🤡
Off topic: are you in Switzerland?
casetify sponsored every single tech youtuber it seems. im still struggling to see who is buying a 75 dollar case lol
Great content Mark.
I think you’d enjoy for your phone (or camera). Optical glass lens (not plastic/acrylic), universal compatibility with brands, models for your iPhones, Pixels, Galaxy, etc, and control over buttons and touchscreens in any environment.
Let me know if you have questions. Keep up the great work.
JR. 📸💪
The shutter lag on the S23 Ultra is a deal breaker. It's OK to stand there for the perfect shot, but try taking shots real world & the Samsung won't compete. Sent back,
exactly ,let alone low light situation
Casetify has such awesome cases!!! BUTTTT, ALL of the S23 Ultra cases are sold out!! :(
i love my phone s23 ultra 😍
3:00 wut lol
Very good finishing for the iPhone 14 Pro
As a compact phone lover, I think 14 pro is very much ok for camera.
I know s23u is good than ip14 pro. But it's a minimal difference. It'll not impact on our daily life.
Overall taking photo, 8k video of S23 ultra is beating Iphone. However, IPhone still do a bit better on 4k video.
8k video is meant to be downscaled and utterly destroys every other 4k so your logic needed some thought before you wrote it ..
@@NeverSettleForMediocrity 8k on paper is surely 100% better than 4k but what I wrote above I refer to in reality. For example 8k 24frame on s22 ultra, 4k can give more benefits than 8k. Please open mind and think you before wrote it out. Thank
I prefer the portrait shot on the iPhone over the Samsung the skin looked a bit too orange
obviously S23 ultra is winner in this time. Edge detection almost perfect then iPhone 14 Pro Max. Overall best photo and video provide you S23 ultra then iPhone 14 Pro Max.
I actually used the 200 mp mode on daylight and landscapes.
S23 is the best of the best camera phone. But junk OS.
android is linux. linux was unix. unix is what the super computer uses. it is powerful, flexible and open ended. iOS... well... is rubbish. do you know how many super computers use iOS as their OS?
s23 for me
Can't even compare tho,
Wait until the iPhone 15 Pro Max❤❤❤
2:06 For such a beautiful lady, the phone/camera doesn't matter. Respects. 🤭💖🙏
Where does the Pixel 7 Pro stack up in this conversation? 🤔
Apple fanboys dismissing the 3x and 10x video of the S23U all because it destroys the iPhone there and yet when the iPhone finally gets one, they would say it's the greatest feat of engineering. I can't count the times when i wished my S20 had much better zoom when recording video.. be it at parties when everyone is fighting for a spot, or at excursions or beaches. The list goes on.
