Let's compare photo and video, insane zoom capabilities, low-light night shots, audio samples, slow-motion, and more. (This video is NOT sponsored. I purchased iPhone and Galaxy, and Pixel 7 Pro was a gift from Google.)

gosh you really did an awesome job putting these into perspective! Some CZcamsrs make this comparison a 20 min long video and they bring no conclusions, eventually. Super underrated content
Thank you so much! No wasting time here :)
@@AuthenTech s23 Ultra photos are wow !!! so good comparison mate !!
I own the Pixel 7 Pro and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Both are great in different ways. The photos that come out of the Pixel are just lovely.
Can i have one lol
Which do you like more? I have the 7 pro but have never had a galaxy
@@jasondefelice2710 The S23 Ultra is beast mode, while the Pixel is smart mode 🤷🏽♂️
@@1daful I switched to the Motorola thinkphone.. I honestly think this is the most underrated phone on the market. If the cameras were slightly better then I think it would be the best phone out. Smoothness and battery life have been amazing. I'm not sure how Samsung Dex is but ready for is pretty Damm cool. I can use my phone as a wireless mouse on my TV and use my TV as a massive desktop lol
I'm surprised you are the only CZcamsr chose S23U over iPhone for photos.
I love S23U though
I don't know about youtubers but most people say samsung is better at photos and iphone at videos
It can depend on the environment - Samsung is great during daylight, but can struggle in lower light. Ben is definitely a sunny day dude lol
I rlly like apple’s 24 mp this year, it does win but ik s24 u will beat it again , Samsung s23 ultra is literally the revolution of samsung phones and from now on apple and Samsung is eligble to compete with one another as before imo apple always won
@@Lolllllllllllllllllllzzzzzzzzz
iPhone wins at what? Have you watched the video? The best cameraphone is undoubtedly S23U, the best videophone is I15, Pixel7 comes in 3rd position.
@@okimarubos night time photos, videos, portraits bc of the default 24 mp images and also stabilization
Love the quick thoughts and review. I’m sure it’s lots of work, but I appreciate it condensed like this 👍🏻
I have a s23 and discover so many things everyday about the camera lol its insane. Today I discovered you can shoot video straight from the camera app at 120 fps!!! I've never seen that talked about, it's insane!
Wait how? You meant slow mo?
@@LakeFlakesHe's talking about the pro video mode. Yes, 120 fps can be selected in pro video mode, but only in full HD resolution.
Thank you. I didn't know that. I checked it on my Fold5 and it is there, too!💙💙💙
@LakeFlakes that's what i thought when I heard, but no actual 120fps! Super useful for slowing down shots or even povs!
Wow thanks I just know it now
S23U have astro mode.
Pixel also have this
Pixel 6a, I am a joke for you😂
Only with expert raw
@@egoralokhin6001 it is integrated, I launch it from native application.
@@badger685Yeah, but he only used 30 secs. Samsung can take up to 10 minutes for one shot in the Expert Raw section. He clearly knows nothing about the phone
I must have seen about 30 hours of CZcams content comparing the cameras of these phones, and by far, this was the best video so far, totally impartial, showing the pros and cons of each model and showing that in the end of the day, the important thing is to have what you like the most overall, because in terms of cameras they are very similar.
Love these reviews
The thing for me is, that the pixel and Samsung make photography fun or experimental. The pixel has given me that push into getting a professional camera and given me more ideas what to do with a camera. Since I use an iPhone for work it’s honestly not inspired me to go take pictures or taken more than just snapshots.
Great review Ben!🙌
excellent comparison and very objective!
Wow ...
Great Video & Great comparison...❤👌
I really loved how straightforward you were and you said I like this one the most. Instead of the wonky answers that we get from most of the CZcamsrs.
Thank you . Keep the amazing work. ✨
Very interesting Ben, thank you for the comparison. I own a 15 Pro Max and Pixel 7 Pro and recently used them both for photo/video shoots (Real estate and family stuff). For photo, I MUCH prefer Pixels white balance. That saves tons of real world editing time. But being capped to 12 megapixels is a hindrance for pro work (not for family photos).
For video I find iPhone stabilization a bit more reliable and smooth. But the iPhone really starts to shine in dim lighting. The Pixel main lens gets a bit grainy in video with low light. But the Pixel ultrawide has a TON of grain in dim light.
My breakdown comparison:
iPhone Strengths
- Video stabilization
- 2X portraits (WAY better than Pixels horrendous digital crop)
- Significantly better wide angle in dim and low light (both photo and video)
- Quick editing the photos is significantly faster, Google's photo editor is annoyingly slow at times
- Excellent, reliable 3rd party camera apps that are very useful (I enjoy Moment Pro, but there's also Halide, Spark and Blackmagic)
- Portrait video on iPhone is perfectly fine for non-professional work now. Pixels... haha, no.
- Photographic styles help "tweak" your base photo - I make mine slightly cooler
- 24mp images are now standard.
- 48mp RAW images are now professional quality in many situations when taken from the main lens. Truly remarkable. Pixel 7 Pro still limits its RAW output to 12mp, which is a bummer.
- Recording directly to an external SSD is amazing (although we wouldn't need it if they hadn't taken away micro SD slots to begin with...)
Pixel Strengths
- White balance is exceptional on the pixel. Apparently Google is adding a new smarter white balance with Pixel 8, thus the gap will widen even more.
- Likewise, the skin tones are way more natural on Pixel in 8/10 situations. I can't stand iPhone selfie camera turning my family's faces into pink/orange pumpkins.
- I prefer the more “neutral” style the Pixel has. Less unnatural over-sharpening than the iPhone.
- Access to settings right within the camera app. Seriously useful. I hear more Pro controls are coming to Pixel 8 Pro.
- I found the 5x to be consistently better in most ways, even though Apple is using its fancy tetra-prism.
- Pixels editor has a lot more fun/unique tools like magic eraser, face unblur (even though it doesn't feel well optimized).
- File management. Not a sexy feature, but it's so much better to use your phone like a USB drive when you need to.
TLDR: If you're a professional who makes money using these tools for photo/video, then the iPhone still wins. However, for a hobbyist, budding photographer, and a person who wants the most fun camera. I think Pixel has the edge now.
Fantastic analysis, thanks 👍.
👏🏼😃
To be honest with you, your review is one of the best. Keep it up man
Great video where you can tell it's not messed with in post production whereas some other reviewers it seems like it's edited to make their own wonder.
We're spoiled for choices. Can't really go wrong with any of them. It's interesting comparing reviews with different conclusions. Thanks for the effort you've put into this one.
Man love when you compare them side by side with blue sky, you get to see how each manufacturer interprets the blue hue. The Samsung “happy” blue is my favorite! And it’s so grey and gloomy in Seattle now; another reason to love this video, lol. Thanks Ben as always, love your phone camera reviews, keep ‘em coming!
Cool comparison-pics taken in mostly brighter conditions, which are what I usually experience in FL. Looking forward to the Pixel 8, only a few more days !!!!
Hopefully all 3 keep pushing each other to keep getting better and improving. Competition is good for everyone.
You are the best. Most sincere among phone reviewers.
Thanks!
This is the best ever comparison of these three..Especially the zoom. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
brother, update the S23 ultra, they included a 2x for the normal camera and portrait mode, they also improved the night mode and the 30x digital zoom
Wait what do you mean upgrade the cam..i did a software update yesterday but I didnt noticed anything new...did i missed something? I am on an s23u
@@definitelynotanitalian108 Look for videos about the August patch and the improvements it brought for the cameras, there are comparisons where they face an S23 Ultra with the July patch and another with the August patch and the improvements are a little noticeable.
@definitelynotanitalian108 you need to use camera assistant to activate it
Did you turn on Voice Isolation on iPhone? 😊 Great comparisons 🥰
Great comparison & conclusion about the cameras.
but what is your opinion about spending money for one among these 3 for daily usage as well as for camera usage?
Ben, thanks for helping everyone !
Any time!
Excellent video.
The fact that you have to be so nit picky to really say one is better than the other is showing how much these phones are becoming so identical that, it's really coming down to just whichever you feel more comfortable with in the end, instead of which is superior.
Love ur comparison mate. Pixel 7 pro and samsung s23 ultra really look great. I love to see this comparison again when pixel 8 pro is out.
Great video, it's a pity u didn't compared selfie pictures, or portrait shots :)
Incredible work !!!! So underrated what you do !! I hope your review the gaalxy a54 and the a55 when it comes out. Its an underrated phone, as youre an underrated talented guy 😎
Great vid, waiting to see the pixel 8 pro.
Could you please do a video about the synology nas and the backup system? It will be so great to have such a video.
Nice comparison 👍
I don't like noise canceling. I like to hear the surrounding sound and clarity.
Year after year this type of video is great and energetic lot of thanks ...
Thank you so much, glad it helps. I often revisit my own videos to remember which are best in which areas 😆
You welcome!!
Excellent video
Can you also show us a test of the front camera of the Iphone 15 Pro Max if there is a zoom in/out of the front camera?
Sir You doing well ♥️ and It’s very hardworking
Okay so if you like to zoom in definitely get yourself the S23 Ultra. And if you care too much about being the green bubble in text messages, then get the iPhone. The Pixel 7 Pro is still the champion of still images. The color rendering just can't be beaten. Most balance natural shots with the best color reproduction. I can only imagine how good the Pixel 8 Pro will be.
If Google has addressed overheating and poor battery life, definitely my next phone.
@@sidersproductions941the rumors so far said that they used a special chip to address heat problems so hopefully that does something
@@sidersproductions941it won't get solved until they stop using modded exynos so called Tensor..like scamsung stopped using so called their flagship chipset Exynos in their flagship as in India they faced a lot backslash for exynos
Pixel is amazing
bro didn't even talk about video 💀
I'll probably wait for the pixel 8 Pro. Have had the pixel line for a while. Pixel has always been the right balance of most things for me over the last bunch of years.
Also pixel 8 series will get 7 years of software updates surpassing Apple's 5 to 6 years of software updates. 🎉
@@ali_says1 Yeah sweet. Using the 8 Pro now. Loving it 👌🏼
Would REALLY REALLY LOVE it if there were DLSR photos n footage to compare to the phones
What specialist are you in photography when you give the winner on the s23, which brings out the saturated colors while google natural?
Finally,a genuine unbiased review, you've earned my respect sir.
Yea I've seen extremely biased reviews which is very misleading. This video looks extremely honest and unbiased
I love my Pixel 7 Pro. It excels in every aspect except Portrait shots. Those come up wayyyy oversharpened and unnatural and I wish there were a slider where we could play with the intensity of this setting or maybe they could dial it down via an update. However, there is an option to Denoise the photo inside the Edit panel..
Well said! Pixel 7 Pro owner myself 😁👍🏼
Don't use portrait mode just take the shot in the regular mode then in the Editor add the portrait effect strength to your liking 🤗
There is a method to use portrait mode and get good quality and depth. First take the photo in photo mode and then edit it in Google photos and then click portrait mode and it has much better depth than normal portrait mode. Use this. I don't know why but this is how portrait mode is good on pixels currently
Don't worry guys, Pixel 8 Pro will have a tof sensor that will fix the portrait mode
@@YusufIslam1 Well i think its more of a software thing but then again it could be both
what is the tripod thing? How is it called? Cant find anything similar...
If you use Expert RAW on the Samsung it can do the same as the Pixel with the long exposure photography. It's not an entirely fair comparison considering all the processing that goes with 14 minutes exposure vs 30 seconds. All in all, I'm impressed with the Galaxy S23 Ultra
S23U can take 4min photos as the Pixel 7 Pro but they are not as near as sharp and good as these ones. The Pixel photos looks clean while the samsung are good, they are a bit noisy, even after using LR.
S23 ultra the true king of mobile ❤🎉👌
Best comparison I've seen
Great video! Waiting for the iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Samsung S23 Ultra vs Google Pixel 8 Pro Camera Test
Thankyou so much
Nice camera comparison. I'm a huge fan of the S23U.
is the video stutterung when u record left to right or vice versa w 4k 60fps and stabilization on?
It's about personal prefference.
I love Pixel 7 Pro overall when it comes to photography, but if you are looking to get more attention/likes on social media, I'd go with S23 Ultra, images from it really stood up.
And you forgot to add one more thing - ‘ In Simple terms Im an Apple Hater’
@@sonak7503 & one more thing - '‘ In Simple terms Im not an isheep'
@@sonak7503shut up biryani
@@sonak7503oh so having a different opinion makes u a hater😂😂😂
@@Lolllllllllllllllllllzzzzzzzzz Opinions should make some sense I have the 12 PM And the s23 ultra …The pics on s23 are like some snap Chat filters
I started experimenting shooting in 4kPro 30 Pro res on the iPhone and it’s literally the best video I’ve ever seen on a phone. The tech chap uploaded a video he shot in 4k60 ProRes and it’s mind blowing.
It's so cool and fun that we can capture insane looking video, all on a phone that fits in our pocket 🤯
@@AuthenTechso we are not talking about their insane file size?
@@Punam09674it is what it is for now but honestly the video recorded in log after a quick post edit, unbelievable results! Hard pill to swallow on the file size but obviously most people will not use log anyways. However it does give you the option of going crazy if the occasion arises. 🤷🏻♂️
s23 base model can simply shoot in 8k
@@cucventures7306irrelevant
Nice test
Pixel did so much better in video than expected it handles hdr the best overall it seems, but its definitely less consistent than the other two
Man it's amazing the S23 Ultra still has my vote for now. I wouldn't drop money on an upgrade that's not a clear upgrade.
I just found out that Christ Martin is very talented at making phone reviews..good job..
Very Useful Video 😱😱😱
Glad to hear that
is it possible to redo this test sine the pixel 8 pro is now released?
I love your reviews because it's got some honesty, the S23 ultra IS the winner for photography (if not for videos i agree)
2:16 Butterfly realizes you're looking at it.
Will you be doing this again when the pixel 8 pro drops?
i really like how the tele photo of s23 really works when he tries to capture the "moth" the focusing was really awesome.
iphone is still the best when it comes to video recording, specially that action mode so amazing!
The most awaited comparison, top camera phone on the market,, #pixelfans.........
Thank you for the video 👏
You can literally go 10 minutes on the galaxy if you use astrophoto mode. It also has an ar star map so you know exactly what you are shooting beforehand.
Just upgraded from S8+ to S23 ultra. Gotta say I am loving the S23
what about the 8k 30fps resolution on the s23? i have seen people shooting some content on it and it looks amazing too! i didnt think the iphone is that good...
Hey am seeing taking photos of face gives darker image when compared to my S22 Ultra. Shocking to see Pro max gives this result for a hefty price. Ur thoughts please. Especially face looks darker even though for a white skin
Did you use proraw 48mp on iPhone
Can't wait for the Pixel 8 Pro video!
*The HDR in Pixel's video is kinda impressive tbh.*
The only area that Pixel needs improvement is in still Portraits and detail rendition in videos.
Why only 4k 30 sample... show us 4k 60 sample
..
Most people are going to use smooth 4k 60fps in general use
any city light shots?
At 4:46 you can see that video on the Pixel looks too orangey, and at 5:07 you can see how much digital sharpening is happening on the Pixel.
iphone can lock subject too if you press and hold
2:49 the sign might be sharper with the pixel but look at the surroundings.
Please where can I get the pixel 2xl screen
Pixel for photo, iphone for video and sosialmedia. Samsung for zoom over 10x
Overall s23 u
@@Lolllllllllllllllllllzzzzzzzzz iphone is most consistent and better for sosialmedia and apps.
U earned a sub : )
sweet thx!
Where is the portrait mode compairison?
I am So Excited For Gopro vs IPhone
Good Comparison, but Slow Mo has to go to Samsung for having the Option to go to 960Fps
The pixal looks nice its slightly better the the s23U the iphone was struggling
I don't have any of them but still watching 🗿
😂❤
4:12 if you used expert raw set for shooting stars, the photos would look completely different. The application is original Samsung and you can set 4, 7 or 10 minutes
The Pixel 8 is out in a weeks time. Can you please do the same video but with the 8 Pro? I am looking to switch from Apple and think the Pixel might be my choice.
It's interesting as DXOMark ranks the iPhone 14 Pro Max above the S23U. Not my experience with the S23U and my wife using the iPhone 14 Pro Max. They've now ranked the iPhone 15 Pro Max second behind the Huawei P60 Pro. Somehow, that doesn't seem right.
You skipped low light outdoor video comparison 🤦♂️
About the audio if you prefer the no background sound you choose the android phones but if you want to hear the background noise choose iphone.. i like how the iphone didnt do the noise cancelation coz it ruins the quality of the audio.. it sound like an allien or u r in under water
Mate, you might need to it again with Pixel 8 Pro. lol 😅 6:46 When tap on 4k 30 on Pixel it automatically enable the Speech Enhancement and that is why sounds better.
Haha, yeas, Pixel 8 Pro coming very soon 🤪
very nice
Why is no one doing basic camera movement on video? Pan or tilt shouldn't be this hard. That is an important part of video quality. This was the biggest difference between classic video cameras and DSLR cameras. An important point in terms of measuring video quality on smartphones. If there is too much shaking during such movements, this is a serious defect. These also need to be compared.
Mister,you compare too soon but is great too. Later please compare again in iphone 15 promax vs pixel 8 pro in video low light shot,focused in the low light video and the stabilizer then many more. Thank you. I wait you.
Turn off the astrophotography auto mode in pixel and you'll find that the time reduces significantly
I don't know, had a 13 promax and now have the S23 ultra, both amazing phones. But there's something about the pixel 7 pro that really makes their shots look so crisp and natural. Can't go wrong with any of these.
It's funny how you did this right before the Pixel 8 Pro came out 😂
So, Google and Apple have made their releases - but Samsung was the first to do so, meaning their model is the oldest. Should they release another model now? Or make the S24 actually in 2024? Or.. Should they do it later (still in 2023) and call it the S24 like in sports games (for example Madden 22 in 2021 - this isn't quite a good example seeing that it released in early August of 21')
I make YT videos using Vivo X70 Pro+ which 2 years on is STILL superior to latest sammy/iphad (esp stabilisation & low light video). Pls get the Vivo X100 Pro+ when it drops and compare.
Thats blackbird 😍
I bet if a lot more people could afford the iPhone there would be TONS more "iPhone is best" comments lol! But i own the Pixel 7 Pro and im in love with mine! Fixing to get the S23U in a couple days...so we'll see 😉👍🏼
Pixel & Samsung is the best for me in both camera and video department
