After one month which one is better? iPhone 13 Pro Max or Galaxy S21 Ultra?

Glad there was a mention of the 108mp mode, makes a huge difference in some situations. Every other comparison I've seen has ignored it.

Danny, your camera comparison videos are the gold standard here on UKposts. I can't buy a phone until I've seen your comparison shots. Can't wait to see how the iPhone 13 Pro and the S21 Ultra square up against the Pixel 6 Pro.

Thanks for the comparison. The two cameras are incredible, each with its virtues and defects. The S21 ultra is almost one year older and is still among the best. Greetings from Extremadura, Spain.

Samsung killed it with the S21 Ultra in camera department this year 👌

2:25 Remember when Samsung would smooth out faces? Kudos to Samsung for listening.

I’ve been waiting for this video for so long……happy it’s here now 😄

Best camera comparison I've seen thank you really happy I saw this, it was awesome.

The moment I've been waiting for 🙌🏾

I like the fact that it is a comparison without favoritism or inclinations for any side excellent work danny 👌🏻👌🏻

What I like about Danny's reviews is that they cut through the hype and never make a claim that can't be substantiated by the results that he thoroughly explains; kudos!

Great video and great comparison between the photos and videos. Thanks 🙂

You are the best in comparison i always wait for your reviews excellent more than perfect i love how s21 ultra balances the whole seneriour

I've been waiting for your comparison between these 2 phones. I really like the place where you use to take your shots.

Great comparison Danny , Thanks for your efforts .

Love the in-depth comparison of the shots

Dannnnny. Danny for President 🕺🏽🕺🏽 Been waiting for this video. Thanks for the Potrait Video shot you added like I asked. To think s21ultra was released in January, and still did this good is amazing.... Well Danny for real Thank you for all the time and effort you put in making these videos. They are highly appreciated. I love your camera comparison the most of all youtubers. Thank you

Best in the biz at this. Always worth the wait to see what Danny says.

I have been waiting for this video for along time please

Great comparison! What do you think about camera behaviour concerning flares? Normal optical phenomenon which seems to be more pronounced on iPhone. Can you compare this feature? Thanks

Thank you for this great comparison. Have not used an iPhone for my personal phone and still holding onto my 4+ year old OnePlus 5T. Pre-ordered and then cancelled the Pixel 6 Pro (video was lack-luster), thinking about switching to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but will hold off a little longer for the S22 Ultra or perhaps the OnePlus 10 Pro in 2022.

Your dedication in the camera comparison is unmatched danny thanks for the effort

Really fair and honest comparison!!! Great job!!

I guess "Overstaturated" has become "Ready to share" this year

Despite the iphone's more detailed images I overall prefer the S21U pictures because of more natural colours and wider dynamic range. Iphone is completely ruining the shadowy areas

Incredible work... very detailed and coherent in the presentation of the different modes. But one tip I think might be useful is that the S21 Ultra EXYNOS is consistently generating better photos in terms of detail, white balance and HDR... Samsung is working hard on its chipset balance... I'm saying that because in other comparisons the dispute is easier to resolve with Exynos... in this one I believe you'll agree with me that the S21 was better in HDR and white balance... in details I won't say it anymore, it depends on the scenario... but for its versatility the S21 is ahead overall... but my tip is to keep an eye on Exynos... the scale has tipped in his favor recently. In addition, your work is stupendous... your family is beautiful... God bless you and success in the projects. Hug!

Dang, if the flagship phones this year are this good then I can only imagine what these two brands have in store for us in 2022.

Love watching your comparison videos coz it's more specific than those done by other more popular vloggers. I hope you will do one for Samsung S22 Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro Max, and another for Oneplus 10 Pro vs Samsung S22 Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Can't wait for the camera comparison. S21 Ultra VS Google pixel 6 pro

Nice job Danny. Thanks for all the effort! (It's harder than it looks.)

This vid made me LOVE my s21 ultra more🔥🔥🔥

Great and extensive comparison video!

great review ! thx you !

thanks for the detailed and clear review man of his job

Another excellent and comprehensive review Danny!!! :)

I'm watching this video from my 12pro, I haven't upgraded because I've seen so much greatness from the Galaxy S21 Ultra that with only a few months left to go, I wanna wait to see what the Galaxy S22 brings. Truth be told I'm really thinking about switching to android and if S22 wasn't my 1st choice then I would've switched to the S21 Ultra already. I'll buy a 13 Pro Max at a later date but it's sad that I just wanna do more with my phone that Apple doesn't allow me to do. Mainly sofewares is what's really ticking me off about my iPhone. I want applications that can be downloaded via web and to feel in control of my own device.

Thanks bro 🙏🏻 great video

Thank you. Great camera comparison.

Perfect comparison 👌 👏 👍 🙌 ❤ 😍.......soo Perfect I enjoyed it 😀..thank you

Front video on the Ultra is just beautiful 😍👌🔥🔥

Some of the things you talked about can simply be adjusted in the Samsung's cam settings.. Increase brightness, touch the contrast, this things are simple. Saturation, all this stuff you'd find with settings. The issue is, most people who complain about this stuff have never really taken the time to study the ability of this phones..

man this was 50/50, cant wait to see if the pixel can keep up with the flagships video-wise cause I know google camera is on point

My favorite camera comparison maker.. much appreciate bro

One of the best and may be the best camera comparisons channel today! Great stuff and vid Danny! Awesome job Man, knowing that the S21Ultra can still compete with the newer phones is just 🔥. 7 to 8 months gap but they still look the same.

Was waiting for this video

Nice job. Thanks.

@Danny Winget excellent presentation..looking forward to Google 6Pro vs..

You 📷 camera comparisons are the Best in the world 🌎 ❤

At 3:47 when you mentioned detail, I'm not sure if that's resolved detail or just an after affect of high contrast and sharpening+increased structure, so labeled as better in detail might be misconcieved by some viewers as actually having better resolved details. So maybe that can be clarified, otherwise great video.

WoW!!! great comparison! Can’t wait for ma IPhone 13 coming soon from s21 ultra user 👌🏻

damm man..you are the one.i trust for camera review. 💕💕💕💕💕 love your content 🙏🙏🙏

After the disappointment of the Pixel 6 Pro video capabilities, this was a great video to watch and has made me get an S21 Ultra instead. Thanks

You can increase the night-mode exposure time On the iphone to go up to 5-30sec. On automatic mode it will always use low exposure time.

This year Dolby vision HDR is default option. When i check the video which taken by iphone13 on PC, background was almost overexposed, especially sky. How did you take this? Did you turn off the Dolby vision option and shoot it? or need some processing to show normally on PC?

Well done . Thanks

I prefer the iPhone because of the level of detail, not a fan of the saturated look though…I do like the way the night mode photos look, but I can always edit my night photos on my 12 pro max a bit to make it look similar. The 13 pros photos because they look darker out of the box maybe sometimes that detail is lost. Great job on your reviews you keep improving and you point out many details and little things that the other reviewers don’t even mention like for example how long does it take for each shot on each phone and that’s important, thank you for your comparisons can’t wait to see the pixel 6 hope you get it to compare!

Excelente video amigo.

Great video as usual. iPhone mic seems better than the S21 but I prefer the shots on the Samsung on the whole, especially the night shots, they look more natural to me.

Great video! Well compared!

A excellent comparison Danny, thanks very much. I can only affor one of these so I will wait for new phones in 2022. I am happy with the S20FE for now

@Danny Winget, s21 Ultra is the Snapdragon or the Exynos version?

One of the best camera comparaison channel.

Awesome comparison ! If my (ordered) Pixel6pro isn't "perfect", then I'm jumping ship for an iPhone. I love the image details and in every shot comparison I prefer the iPhone.

Phones are so good now when subjects are standing still. Next big thing I want is less motion blur for capturing pets or kids. Pixel 6 has an interesting approach combining 2 lenses. Very curious to see how well it works. This is a bigger game changer than the subtle differences

@10:50, what if you used the Samsung pro mode to match the iPhone settings… will you still get the ISO noise?, looking at getting a newish phone and torn between the S21 ultra or iPhone, since a lot of my photos are also taken in low light/evening/night

finally.. some one totally unbiased. great job

Both are beasts. I’m glad with my 13 Pro Max. But damn they go stroke for stroke here.

Am I the only one preferring Samsung over apple quality

Thank you for another great video. Can you please do a camera comparison between iPhone 13 Pro max and xiaomi mi 11 ultra?

I was waiting so long for this video... 😢

Great video. Love how in-depth you go. S21 Ultra continues to be an amazing camera; still arguably the best if you consider every lens and every feature. But 13 Pro Max edges it out in FANTASTIC low-light performance, and still being the video king (though the difference between the two in video performance IS smaller than ever, so kudos to Samsung there). Also unfortunate to think about how Samsung has had Portrait Video for years and is still much worse than the iPhone's first attempt, for one main reason: all it does is cut out the individual. It's not bad at that, but it's not doing anything to emulate depth and DSLR-like aesthetics like the iPhone is trying to do. It's not great on iPhone, don't get me wrong. But Samsung definitely has more work to do than Apple. Samsung's front-facing portrait video is actually quite good, though, because its deficiencies are not nearly as clear in the style of video that comes from front-facing cameras (person right in the middle of the frame, no focus roll-off to worry about from wider shots, etc.).

Wait, the Galaxy can't do night mode 3x portrait either? This is HUGELY disappointing to me. Also something I noticed is that the Galaxy handles highlight details better in night mode, while the the iPhone often overexposes highlights. Your camera comparisons are AMAZING, seriously! Keep up with the awesome work 👏

Thanks, for my needs you sold me on the Galaxy.

Amazing content! Pixel 6 Pro next?

i LOOOOVE Danny's videos !

The saturated colors have always looked better in my opinion. That's also the option of the majority. So even though they're exaggerated on the iPhone they look much more pleasing to the eye.

S21 is clearly much better. It's sometimes almost the same, but in general s21 ultra is more beautiful for Instagram and stuff

Best top cameras comparison I've seen so far. Still don't get it how a 100mg camera can't compete with one that in paper is 10 times lower. Anyone has a technical video where that is explained ?

Thank you 💟

Thanks for your hard work, interesting and comprehensive. My view, Apple reigns at videography, but both Top 5 in photography. Subjective choices aside, neither will disappoint.

Looking forward for your pixel camera comparison

This is a great review. Are you going to do one for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro? Seriously one of the best reviews I’ve seen. Subscribing now!

Interesting... Can you do a comparison using Samsung's Pro Photo and Video Modes? From what I have seen, many UKposts reviewers don't focus on using Samsung S21 Ultra's Pro Modes. I would imagine that folks who know how to tweak settings in Pro Mode would go for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra over the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Sure, I get that a lot of people shoot on Auto, but I reckon people would prefer to take time and get the best shots through using Pro Mode. Maybe people can learn how to take better photos by experimenting with Pro Modes. What do you reckon?

I ride bmx and need something with good night mode video, but I really hate iphone's operating system and other stuff. Is there any alternative with really good night video?

Great video. Can't wait to see the pixel 6 pro

Thank you.

They both need to work on overall quality of detail that they can capture besides purely cranking the mp resolution up. Another annoying thing is the true DoF not faked processing based bokeh - yes, this is a hardware thing according to sensor size - more often they have adequate sensor sizes just mishandled by processing with horrible edge fringing for close ups. I know they tried to remedy this with macro shots but it's not enough.

Danny next do the Pixel 6 pro vs the competition, good video though 😎

Longer exposure is more chance of motion blur when objects or people are moving. Especially when indoors and taking pictures of your kids or pets , it’s really frustrating. I have both phones to test and iPhone gives sharper image but the S21U gives a more overall pleasing image.

I prefer the iPhone 13 Pro Max between the 2, even though I just got the iPhone 13 Pro Max myself (finally upgraded from iPhone 7 Plus after 5 years of use LOL). I'd say the iPhone 13 Pro Max looks more vibrant and the S21 Ultra looks a little bit more muted in some instances or a bit over-exposed looking. I'm not a camera/video expert so...yea... Either way, both have their pros & cons and it comes down to preference of the individual. You can always edit the photos anyway to adjust colors, tones, etc.

Great content

The iphone's consistency is just unmatched. In almost all the samples photos I preferred the iphone's . In the video comparison , the iphone crushed the Samsung. Overall I will give it to the iphone.. Apple did a good job. The iphone 13 pro has the best camera upgrade I've seen in many years. Maybe be we should wait for the S22 ultra to do another comparison.

13 Pro Max 🔥🔥🔥

I would love to see your sneaker collection in a video :)

Both really great. Except 8K mode gives a true advantage to Samsung, Tips : shoot 8K then compress it into 4k (stock app) then you'll get some more detailed and colorfull videos, it really looks like a 1080p video coming out a DSLR sensor. To me the iPhone is really about consistency when shooting video, the versatility of the S21U gives much more creativity for a videographer (zoom, 8k, better stabilization, 1/1.33 sensor & depht of field !) But yeah night videos goes for the iPhone 😜 Thanks for the quality time!

Danny, I hope you elevate the caption a bit so that it is slightly above when we zoom in to your 2:1 videos. The corners of 2:1 aspect ratio is kinda annoying in recent iPhones since these already reach the curve part of iPhone screens.

As a life-long Iphone user, I have to say the photos on the Galaxy look better

That 10x zoom is amazing for sports cause I can actually capture what's happening up close when when I'm on the other side of the field. Freaking amazing

Thats a pretty good comparison. I am disappointed too with the s21 Ultra's noise reduction. Mine does that too but I have noticed when I tryed to take a night picture with 108mp mode the noise was gone. It's very strange. Try it out

Nice man
