Are we still Team Galaxy S23 Ultra or are you now Team iPhone 15 Pro Max after the update?

Both are amazing phones. If I had to choose only one it would be S23 Ultra.

Impressive dynamic range from the S23 Ultra, but I am not gonna lie I liked the 5x portraits on the iPhone. They look _very_ realistic, even the low light ones. Hope that Samsung can improve the portrait and low light modes as well.

Amazingly done as always. You really do the best and most thorough camera comparisons on UKposts 🔥

The biggest thing I want all manufacturers to do is to stop the over-noise reduction, followed to sharpening to hide it. GCam with custom libs have shown you can actually have more (and much more natural, true camera like) detail, without sacrifices. The "its a smartphone look" isn't needed.

The camera on the S23 is going to be the preference for most people. They would like to just take a picture and send it through social media or messaging apps. Those colors would definately catch their attention.

As always a thorough camera comparison done professionally, no gimmicks or marketing involved. I honestly never need to see another comparison after seeing your review danny. Keep up the great work as always.

Your comparisons are always so detailed and well made

I've been using the One UI 6 beta, and I'm finding that with Advanced Intelligence Options set to Maximum, Scene Optimizer set to Off, and Picture Softening (under Camera Assistant) set to High, the S23 produces something much more palatable for iPhone camera fans.

Both did a great job main difference it seems is how far each one is able to zoom out and how much of the details and accurate colors they can pick up when taking video or photo

Awesome comparison! Both phones are solid options. I'm excited about the rumors of a larger sensor on the S24 ultra. That may be the ultimate upgrade!

The S23 Ultra just won the photography tournament this year, no discussion about that...

I'm a user of the s23 Ultra and iPhone too, this is the third camera comparison video I've watched today, and in fact it seems to be the most sincere and true. Congratulations !

From a Galaxy S23 Ultra user I would like to admit that the smoothness, stability and colors in video recording are always what Apple wins. The 10x camera in the Galaxy should still be there and they should improve it greatly because rumors have spread that they will cancel it in the S24 Ultra. The Galaxy is great at zoom, they should scrap 3x and use a 200MP sensor to cut 3x and add a brand new camera for 5x.. I hope that an update will come and solve the problems of night photography in very dark places, as the camera comes in strange colors such as red and green, especially in the sky, where you cannot share these images, and transferring more strains between cameras is a necessary requirement.

I was blown away by the quality of iPhone 15's portrait mode! The sunset portrait pictures felt like it came from a movie.

Thanks for the detailed review of the zoom cameras on smart phones!

Great zoom comparison, this is what I've been looking for!

That s23ultra is very powerful

Yes, I'm surprised by the progress Apple has made. Apple did a lot right and just a few things were left for improvement. As a S22 Ultra user I'm looking forward for the S24 Ultra.

Awesome video as always, your channel is one of the best and I'm ALWAYS excited when I see you posted a new video! 👏👏👏 One thing I think would be even better is if you would compare the same zoom level each time (2x vs 2x, 3x vs 3x, 5x vs 5x, 10x vs 10x and 25x vs 25x. The S23U even has 2x lossless zoom now after the latest update). This would give us a much better look at how they compare across the entire zoom range and also at how good the digital zoom algorithm of each phone is. Anyways, I was impressed by the dynamic range of the Galaxy, especially considering Apple said their HDR was better than ever... Also the 24MP on the iPhone looks soooo good!

Your camera reviews are unmatched 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

The iPhone is doing surprisingly well with the 5x. They just need to work on the smoothing/noise reduction when digitally zooming above 10x. I’m sure they will tweak it in the coming months.

The fact that this video doesn’t get hundreds of thousands or millions of views is just pissing me off. This is probably the best comparison video that involves both phones that I’ve watched so far.

Was eagerly Waiting for your comparison.👍

really loved ur videos man the content ideas you are generating are one step ahead of everybody else

Hi Danny i wish you compared the 2x on ultra cuz samsung updated the crop zoom and you can even add your button by installing camera assistant😊 Anyway, thanks for the great review!

5:00 Interesting how as soon as you switch to the telephoto, the flickering LEDs return to normal. That telephoto is really struggling for light compared to the main lens if the shutter speed had to drop to something low enough to prevent that error. Makes me want to invest in some ND filters for the main lens though!

Gotta love the comparison videos as well as indicating wherein both pictures has flaws and how the other phone is advantageous from the other.

New sub, really appreciate the work you put into this. Thanks!

This is the only camera comparison I’m watching 💯

Thanks Danny! I really appreciate this comparison as it takes a lot of time and effort. I just switched from iPhone 13 Pro Max to a S23 Ultra because Google FI ran a great deal with $600 off. So far loving it, a very slight learning curve with all the photo modes on the S23U. Apple has the benefit of shooting great out of the box without thinking about it but the S23U produces some amazing shots once understood. But wow that 5x portrait on the iPhone 15 Pro Max is so good!

Best comparison! Clear and no bias 🙌

Finally he posted🥳🥳it have been waiting this moment the entire year

iPhone has finally starting to get pretty decent at tele-side of photography and has improved in low light. It clearly has many optimizations to offer though the computational s/w seems still not in good shape. Nice one Danny

What ive learned is that both devices do some things better than the other camera wise. Which is impressive for the S23 because its nearly 8 months older. Other than that the S23 smokes the 15 in every other category.

Thanks for making an effort to make this video, Danny.

Very nice comparison, as always👍🏻

Amazing cameras on both phones! the iPhone 15 Pro definitely made an improvement! I still prefer the S23 Ultra for it price and flexibility on Zoom, I got a new one for 800USD so to me, it was a great purchase!

This is fhe first time in a while that im super impressed with the iPhone's camera. I love how natural a lot of the shots looked and I like that it doesn't over shapren. I have an s23 ultra so obviously I'd choose that but man it's very close!

Yes, was waiting for ya Danny!

Great 👍 Would love to see the selfie videos on both!!

Samsung user here and gotta admit, amazing camera upgrades on the iphone this year! That 5x portrait is phenomenal, and the zoom detail honestly held up fantastic!!,

They both do good. However, having the s23u, what I have found is that I am FAR more likely to be shooting with the 3x camera than all of the others combined. So I am glad it is a dedicated focal length, and not a digital crop.

Looks like they've toned down the micro-contrast levels this year - a long-awaited improvement. Thank you for the review!

Toujours le meilleur ou l'un des meilleur reviewer de photo et vidéo pour les téléphones👍

Seeing the portrait shots on iphone 15 pro Max especially the 5x my goodness, the bokeh effect is just mind-blowing, thinking it's coming from a phone camera

I like the dynamic range the iPhone is producing. Nice video...

Thank you so much for the in depth camera comparison. Really useful for identifying which one fits personal preferences.

Wooow bro supereb, i,m waiting for this your video❤🎉

I was so looking forward to seeing your video! I'll keep my S23 Ultra (and use the pro mode or GCam when i need natural colors)

Your comparison videos are unbiased and very detailed I really enjoy and appreciate your comparisons s23 still my choice

You're the only one that's not biased out of all the videos I've watched.

Amazing review like how u focus on zoom

S23U is still the king🔥🔥🔥🔥

The new telephoto should have the same concept as the main, 48MP 5x zoom with the middle 12MP of the sensor being the 10x

That was a great comparison. Can't wait to see the S24 Ultra response.

Loved the video bro ❤

Thank you for the comparison and the hard work behind it. I noticed a few things: 1. In my opinion, most photos from the S23U look much nicer and more natural. 2. The 5x zoom of the iPhone 15 PM looks really nice compared to the S23U, especially in portrait mode the zoom shows its full power. 3. The iPhone 15 PM has significantly improved its zoom, I especially like the 5x zoom, Apple has done a really good job there. On the other hand, I don't like the 25x zoom so much; the zoom on the S23U looks nicer. 4. In my opinion, there are hardly any significant differences between the S23U and iPhone 15 PM when it comes to night mode, both are convincing. 5. When it comes to stabilization, the iPhone 15 PM is slightly ahead in some situations, but the stabilization of both is really good. If I had to choose a smartphone based on this video (comparison between iPhone 15 PM and S23U), I would currently choose the S23U based on the results I saw in the video. When I still think about the release of the S23U and compare it with today, Samsung has improved a lot when it comes to photos and videos. The photos and videos were good when it was released, but if you compare it to today, the photos and videos back then were crap! This is my own opinion and taste! I'm not a fanboy, I like both Samsung and Apple, both have advantages and disadvantages, both know how to convince.

Amazing video bro 🔥

The HDR, colors and eye catch photos on s23 u are insane!

Pretty sure the iPhone would win the video category easily if you used it’s full potential. ProRes Log 4K60 footage is sick!

Glad to see the iphone image processing preferes having a little noise over being over-sharpened which indeed is the enemy of the image clarity. With that said, i think they didn't improve the dynamic range that much specially on thoses sunset shots. Also there is a too much contrast in the dark areas making trees looks black, this was an issue in iphone 14 series and apparently they didn't fix it here. Looking forward to see more of your comparison videos.

Thanks so much for this video!

S23 Ultra also has a 2X Crop Zoom option, just needs to be enabled via Camera Assistant from the Galaxy Store.

The base Iphone 15 pro max in Mexico cost around 1705 dollars and the s23 like 900 dlls

Still would choose Samsung again but Apple is far FAR closer than what they were doing with the 14s in terms of processing. I had a 14 Pro Max before my S23 Ultra and I can notice what they’re doing differently haha. Not to mention that I love the 5x portraits.

Thank you Danny for your honest non-baised review

Love your video ❤❤❤❤ u soo good at this comparison.

Thank you for such a fantastic video. This kind of videos tend to be more biased since there is a preference for the creator. However, your video gives many samples that shows both bad and good for both phones. It is clear that both phones are great and it is hard to find the difference between them unless you compare them side by side. I am an Apple person who is familiar with the Apple ecosystem so iPhone would be the one I get, but I want to try galaxy someday.

It is not difficult to say that this year the iPhone is better in most segments. more natural, sharper even the 5x zoom is not far behind the s23u. That's my objective opinion, but there are comments that still show what they like better

Thanks Danny appreciate this one

Good comparison,keep it up

S23 ultra still gives competition after 8 months is impressive, i thought it will lose easily. The one thing which is not talked in this video is pro manual mode which is built in on Samsung which is a total advantage.

The worst thing about iPhones is that you will never get any improvements on camera quality after releasing. Samsung will get you updates and will improve your camera quality over time

Thanks, Danny excellent recap I have been sitting it out, not a fan of Max size phones but man, do I want more zoom... your review was perfect. thank you

Maybe try the high res options on the S23 Ultra like the 50 MP or 200 MP mode. It might not be convenient but we still have the option right?

I would have also liked to see the 2x on the Samsung as they have added the option to get a 2x crop from the main sensor

Apple nailed the 5x zoom imo, I think they need the forth lens next year for a better 10x optical to match Samsung but the 5x or 3x is also very needed

Okay Danny I have to say that u comparison is the best I have ever seen as u showed a lot of potraits variations in these two....

Great comparison, can't wait for my Pro Max to get delivered :)

I’ve always liked the iPhone cameras better. It’s more accurate and balanced than Samsung.

I think s23 ultra still has better dynamic range. Particularly shadow details are better in s23ultra

That portrait mode 🔥

I love you man, you are the best without any intention.

Wow the portrait mode in iPhone is sick

I love the way pictures come out on the Samsung. All my friends and family that own iPhones prefer pictures from my Samsung. It just makes the picture come to life and look so nice and vibrant. I am jealous of the video from the iPhone though. Samsung needs to focus on improving the video in my opinion. Love both phones. Great video! Thanks for all your hard work Danny.

What a huge upgrade it's not a oversharpened mess anymore with amazing details

Great vid. Would love to see a still photo comparison of fast moving objects... like of kids,cars or animals. 🙏

I'll go with iPhone 15 pro max just for its out of the world crazy good 5x portrait shots . And much faster gaming performance.

12:34 never thought I would see something like that done by an Android that doesn't have a one inch sensor. This competetion is closer because 14PM wasn't looking good in front of that badboy but now they both are amazing.

Best comparison so far

Beautiful comparison

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has 12MP, 50MP and 200MP modes, but for some reason you won't see the 50MP photos here. Instead, the comparison was done between S23 Ultra's lowest resolution (12MP) versus iPhone 15 Pro Max's higher resolution (24MP) instead of its 12MP, too. It's unclear why it was done like that, since both phones have 3 different options for the resolution of the main camera. Keep in mind that the 50MP mode on Samsung S23 Ultra is noticeably better than the 12MP one. The comparison would be totally different if it was done between 50MP from the Samsung S23 Ultra versus 24MP from the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Waiting for a proper comparison...

Man. S23U is still the King

This was super helpful, thank you, Danny! We are off on safari in 2 weeks and now I'm convinced that the iPhone15 Pro Max is worth the upgrade! Appreciate how detailed orientated you are so THANK YOU again for your effort. xx Tania

9:10 The Samsung looks like it used the 3x and digitally zoomed into 10x instead of using the 10x optical zoom. When you do these comparisons, do you disable the Auto Lens Switching "feature" in Camera Assistant?

Wow the 15 is very very close in spite of the ultra having much better hardware, Apple is very good in bringing out the max of less

Hopefully s24 ultra can improve night mode and pictures

Great review! Both amazing phones! In my opinion, I personally wish Samsung would make default picture taken images closer to accurate colors and not saturate the colors. Make the saturated colors a filter option or something. Also wish iPhones wouldn’t skew to warmer colors in some instances but try to appear accurate.

Thank you danny for the info
