iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Samsung S23 Ultra Camera Battle! 

Did anything surprise you in this test? 🤨 For my iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max Review: brvid.net/video/video-JwAfHEHQKto.html

It's genius that these phones always release 6 months from each other so they can't be truly compared. Each release is usually better than the competitor

Since you kept referencing the iPhone's 48MP camera, it probably would have made sense to compare it to the Samsung's 50MP mode rather than the 200MP mode. The 50MP mode performs a lot better than the 200MP mode in terms of things like processing time, and I would have been genuinely curious to see how they stack up for daylight photography when MPs are more comparable.

I partially agree with this video. I must say that the iPhone never underperforms as heavily in some categories than the Galaxy, but Galaxy's overall colour palette and my needs as a consumer (being that I take many portrait mode photos and photos in good lightning; mostly during daytime) I will still probably be pick the Galaxy. Maybe not the S23 Ultra, but Samsung's next phone!

Just chiming in to say that 200mpx (103mpx for me on the S22U) has its uses not just for print photography, I visit sites for work frequently, and many times I am looking for a detail I didn't think I needed until later, but managed to find it from zooming in on the hi res shot.

The 8K 30 is pretty much a must for me. My s23 ultra works great. So I might actually skip the s24 upgrade this year unless the 8K gets a major bump

I wanna share my observation regarding the sound category. Since you mentioned concerts - the iPhone still takes way better and clear video sound at concerts compared to the Samsung s23 ultra. I spent my summer visiting a fair share of concerts in different locations and settings and I have iPhone 14 pro max and Samsung S23 Ultra. Shooting videos at these concerts made it very clear that iPhone is still better for this very narrow niche - video sound at concerts lol

As an S23U user. Looking at the features and advancements of the iPhone 15, it seems predictable that the Samsung S24 will also follow Apple path. However, this isn't a negative development, as long as the design remains appealing, they can focus on hardware and software feature enhancements. The competition between Samsung and iPhone certainly benefits us as users

the S23U's camera improved dramatically with the August update. I hope the S23U used here had that update otherwise it was trying to compete with one hand tied behind it's back

The amount of work and quality content and testing you put into these videos is insane! Amazing work!

So I do a lot of photography with both my 23 ultra and my pixel 7 pro, haven't gotten my hands on a 15 pro max to be able to compare myself yet, but for my uses (mostly vehicle photography and night sky shots) the s23 ultra has been the best for me, night sky shots I will say the pixel takes the lead on, but the s23 is pretty damn close. But having that 3x lens is perfect, as it is the best zoom to get pictures of cars, without taking any quality hit. I also do some nature photography, and the 200mp camera has helped out a lot with that, the amount of detail is amazing, and has wonderful end results, but mostly only if it is close, within 3-5 feet, then it starts to not be as good

Interesting comparison, it would be even more interesting and fair if the Samsung S23 Ultra was in the latest firmware, and it's not because yours is missing the 2x toggle button in portrait mode. A feature that was available even before the latest updates. Great job, it could be.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max has improved its camera with increased resolution, night mode, portrait mode, and optical zoom. Comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, it performs well in most categories but falls short in skin tones and background blur. However, it excels in vlogging and has better video quality.

As a S23 ultra user, I have to say that iPhone has done some good changes to the camera! Really curious to see what samsung is gonna come up with the s24 ultra

I had the opportunity to use the S23U for a couple months as I swapped from the 12 pro max to the S23, and recently swapped back to the 14 pro max, and now 15 pro max. Ignoring my terrible financial decisions, I was pretty impressed with both the iPhone and Samsung. What I loved about the Samsung over the iPhone was the manual modes for the camera. On the 50mp mode, I took some phenomenal photos of the night sky that absolutely beat the iPhone, and even at a chance against my own DSLR. Having full control over the camera was pretty neat. However, I wasn’t a fan of having to log into the phone to open proraw, especially when I’m camping, my phone is in and out of my pocket and usually slightly dirty hands. For me - an inconvenience. Not a bad camera! Just didn’t fully line up with what I needed. Back to the iPhone and I can appreciate how quickly and smoothly it works. I recently went camping and rode around in the sand and the action video was remarkably smooth but also crisp. They’re both fantastic. But the iPhone was better for me. If Apple would allow some third party apps to have full control of the camera, notably proraw 48mp with full iso and shutter control; that would satisfy everything I need.

The competition between these brands is just thrilling to watch and talk about. Thanks for another greatly satisfying comparison. You did not talk about build quality though, and also how apple's new design will likely impact durability😪😪. Done typing this review too...on to the next video🚶‍♂🚶‍♂

For this comparison to be fair, the S23U"s software should have been updated, the last couple of software updates have considerably improved photo quality. You can tell the phone's on an older software because in Portrait & photo mode it doesn't have a shortcut to 2X zoom, which is present on current software and takes a crop from the 200Mpx sensor.

This means that weather you take an android or an iOS phone, you always have access to amazing camera systems. Hope they keep each other on their toes for years to come.

I think it would be important to give the ultrawide camera its own category! Exactly like the other lenses

Hopefully the Pixel 8 delivers on the updates that have been rumored. Excited to see that head to head against the iPhone

I salute the level of commitment and passion through which these contents are made... Kudos to the team behind the efforts... ❤❤❤

I still think that the s23 is the way to go because all of the photos and the videos look clearer and on the Samsung you can make the photos look even better but that is the same with the iPhone when changing the settings after shot. Also with the Samsung people are probably not too worried about the quality when you zoom up on a specific but it depends on what you are trying to take the photos of and vid.

One point on the audio during calls/facetime: iPhone can filter out background noise if you select it(or alternatively have the background enhanced). Swipe down from the top right during a call, select mic mode, select voice isolation or wide spectrum.

to be honest, I didn't think much happened in smartphone cameras, but my new Oneplus 11 is SO much better than my 9 Pro before that. And the Samsung impressed me a lot with those images. The iPhone would be much better I thought, but it wasn't the case at all most of the time!

I love how detailed his comparisons are, they tell you exactly which phone is for you!

I watched from an S23U and I can say that I'm sad that samsung doesn't do many camera software upgrades, although i do like many stuff that it does and many that it doesn't do. The pro mode on Samsung offers an amazing sensor to work with, but for the auto-processed images I might say that for me the iPhone takes it in terms of night usage. There's always room for competition if it's good competition.

Most pics are taken during daytime and relatively good lightning, in that regard I personally prefer the pics Samsung makes and its zoom capabilities. Like its said in the video, I also find the pics more pleasing to look at it

Great video as always Both the phones take great photos but one thing which always surprised me is how iPhones have a really good preview compared to android phones. Honestly that is the only part where I feel android is lacking. Anybody know what is the technical part going on with the preview?

I feel like both companies should work together to make an absolute beast of a phone.

00:03 The iPhone 15 Pro Max has improved its camera features, including resolution, night mode, and portrait mode, as well as optical zoom and dynamic range. 01:50 Samsung and iPhone have different approaches to zoom, with each having its strengths and weaknesses. 03:36 Samsung's camera app offers more fun and experimental options compared to the iPhone, but the practical experience feels dated. 05:22 The iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung have similar camera speed and audio quality. 07:05 Samsung and Apple smartphones have comparable portrait modes and improved cinematic and slow-mo features. 08:49 Samsung has an edge in slow-mo and macro photography, while Apple excels in video quality. 10:32 Samsung's video quality is affected by grain in low light 12:20 The iPhone's smart hdr feature captures complex lighting scenarios accurately. 14:06 Daytime photos are the most important category for most people and having more megapixels is a game-changer. 15:52 iPhone's high-res mode is the default option with no compromise 17:34 Got 15% off any orders Hope it helps

As much as improvements have been made to camera hardware and software, at the end of the day a lot of consumers will still prefer the results from one brand over the other. I believe it's more of a stylistic choice, and it also boils down to the consumer's priorities regarding photography.

It's beautiful to see the S23 Ultra still holding up. The iPhone is refined and brings details and so does the S23 Ultra at different intervals. One can only wonder what S24 Ultra will do with their annihilating Dex technology and S-Pen that gives them the edge over phones. I'm an avid Xiaomi user eyeing the Xiaomi 13 Pro with its great Tech and wondering what the 14 Pro will do. Much love to our community of Vivo & 1Plus.

I think you can’t go wrong with a Samsung S23 Ultra or an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both very well made phones. Same price range. I just depends whether you like iOS or Android. Personally I get very confused by Android because I’ve had an iPhone since 2009. But if you prefer Android this Samsung is a very good phone.

I like how you hit pros and cons of both phones justifying each point! Appreciate the great analysis!

Interesting! I'm not a pro photo guy but i do appreciate a stunning pic. I loved my iPhone 11 pro but i hated the photos, they just seemed so dull. The s23u really does a great job with massive pops of colour that makes things look better than life - almost like they are edited. I personally really love that, and i find people are blown away by this phones photos. I wish there was a way to make colours stronger on the iphone

I came into this genuinely curious about this, and as someone who knows what they want in photos I prefer apple in almost every category here, it seems to be much more natural than the Samsung phone. Im pleasantly surprised with this.

I’m still in awe at the sheer fact that a camera smaller than a palm of a hand can give such a precise and detailed photo, yes most proper cameras are much better, but the fact that such a small camera fit inside a phone not made just for photos (although one of the main features is obviously the camera), it’s definitely not the only thing built into these pretty small phones. And the camera itself for its size, is absolutely astonishing for me

I must admit, I definitely love my Samsung camera but the grain is a huge issue. Also, while the 200MP camera for the Galaxy is nice, not being able to use it in modes outside of the default camera does make it a bit tough to have more uses of it.

You're just amazing Arun. I don't think even Apple and Samsung may think of the details the way you do. Your way of doing an analogy between these two phones or any other phones is quite impressive and excellent and I haven't seen any other tech guru on BRvid explaining in detail.

I go for Samsung serve my purpose budget friendly . The features in the phone depends on the user ability so last it comes to pricing as majority of the people wouldn't loose their mind on the small hand palm device .

Honestly, Apple takes it this time around. I was pretty disappointed to see nothing new on the 15 Pro but the camera at least has taken a significant step forward over the S23U. Time for Samsung to hit back with the S24U, it's us consumers winning.

If i was in Samsungs shoes, i would leave the phone design exactly the same! It is just soooo good there is no need for a change at least for one more generation. Then, they could add the features that iphone added and just focus all the extra time and effort into integration. I think s24 ultra is going to be revolutionary and not just in pixel counts.

I'm impressed. The biggest improvement I observed is in the iPhone's noise reduction, which kinda took em years to finally do something about it. I'm curious now whether the upcoming Pixel 8 series is gonna slacken on their noise reduction as well and let the iPhone beat the Pixel in cleaner low light photos, for the first time. Can't wait for that comparison.

I recently got S23U, and I am pretty happy about it. Personally, I needed super zoom to capture the video or picture of my dog when she runs around several acres of land, and I wanted to stay with samsung just because I have other smasung products (watch, book 3, and earbuds pro.) Both phones are equally superb.

I still see it as too close to call. Both have their good points. You tend to point out iPhone pluses in a picture, like more stars, and ignore the minuses like the tree in the same photo. I do like iPhones ability to get colors right in low light. Samsung really needs to work on this. And I think the 3x and 10x is a better system than the 5x. But it really depends on what you typically shoot in this case. I think is is easier to punch up the colors in an iPhone post processing than to back them down from the Samsung. But if you don't want to do any post processing, then you probably prefer the Samsung. Samsung needs to back down the the color just a touch.

Always a Fabulous job on this Channel and Content for these companies and others as well great information keep sharing but i feel it doesn't really matter this comes down to personal choice from those who know what they like and pricing you can go over this competition time and time Again most people dont care they know what they eant from their phones and no matter what the other does they have no interest in the brand so just to say its Definitely Always what you want an especially those who have used a Certain Cellphone for years its Nothing wrong with comparison just it doesn't matter to a lot of people their Choice is their choice anyway great job again until the next updates stay safe God Bless All Amen 🙏

Been using both and both have problems. Grey blacks on Samsung are obviously coming from shadow recovering, easy to fix, edit photos and increase contrast. High noise is actually result from oversharpening which is awful on Samsung. However, portrait mode on Iphone is usless ( Imean works only in bright daylight), phone can't detect what is supposed to be blurred, so constantly ask to move closer just to say you are too close. Samsung phones started doing it after they switched to 100mpx sensors, but still can be worked around by just taking camera off the subject and back on. Still, not as good as it was with Note 9.

You know you can do such "fun stuff" with the original iPhone camera app too? If a photo is taken in live mode, you can select effects like long exposure, loop, bounce when viewing the photo. Surely not as big choice as on Android but it works ;-)

Would have been interested in seeing Samsungs 50mp option included in this comparison too. Ultimately though I think these camera comparisons are becoming less and less relevant. They are both more than enough for 90% of users and the day to day shooting they'll do. And if you're someone who's actually pixel peeping and looking at colour correction etc., then you're probably not shooting auto mode anyway and better of shooting manual/RAW and editing colour/light yourself.

I am certain this is the closest Samsung has ever been to the newly released iPhone in terms of camera performance in a very long time. Most of the years I would expect a complete wipe-off of Samsung by Apple and even though the score is still very much reminiscent of the results of previous years' camera comparisons, the performance difference when it comes to each mode is a lot less significant than it used to be. In most of the previous years, I would expect a certain feature (video for example) to be a no-brainer when it came to the comparison as the iPhone made the Samsung look like it was multiple generations behind, but now, honestly, even though the iPhone still wins, the gap is a lot less than it used to be (except for in low light performance - which is atrocious on Samsung's part 💀). I believe it is a testament to how seriously Samsung has taken it upon themselves to improve the camera performance (especially video) on their flagship and this is reflected in the path the company has taken when comes to the more superficial things, such as design for example. Just use what works. The s22 looked pretty sleek and there would be nothing that they would try and change about that design instead focusing on where they've been lacking for the past several years.

I don't really care about comparing these two brands, I'm just admiring how technology has improved so much.

This guy never disappoints🔥

The evolution of smartphone notches has been quite interesting over the years. iPhones introduced the concept of notches, setting a trend that Android devices quickly followed. However, Android took it a step further, refining the design by making the notches smaller and introducing innovative variations like the tear-drop notch and punch-hole camera displays. Interestingly, Apple chose not to directly copy Android's advancements and stuck with their notch design for a while. To cover up, they introduced a feature that some critics argue was more of a gimmick than an innovation: the "dynamic island," which, when you think about it, is essentially a stretched-out pattern resembling a punch-hole camera. iphone never want to accept defeat and come up with bullshit stuff to keeps the fools occupied for a couple of years, literally any android phone can have a dynamic island anywhere on their screen 😂

If you like warmer tones in your iphone photos try choosing the photographic style 'warm' in the settings of the camera app

Really liked this comparison! Possibly consider giving the ultra-wide its own category. Thanks!

In 10 category, it seems to me that the S23 wins, the difference in detail between 12 and 24 megapixels is minimal, and if you really need to take a good photo of something distant, then there is a 50 and 200 megapixel mode, and even more so a 3 and 10x zoom for this. And in my opinion, S23 is better in terms of colors.

idk about apple but if you want, as for the 200MP option, you can really take use of the full quality during dark shots, even surpassing the night mode, if you use pro mode and a long exposure time. It's clear that you have to be capable to use it, however given that ability you can take amazing pictures, I myself have got incredibly sharp and bright pictures in basically pitch black enviroments, comparable to the ones with a camera, with a Samsung A52s.

Looking forward to the Pixel 8 Pro camera battle! 😎

The thing that i still prefer on Apple over Android counterpart is video recording, its really night and day difference. A place which i hope android companies will focus more on

Any chance of raw image capture? My S21 let's me capture raw photos on wide and regular, not the 64 megapixel camera. Really hard to find details of this nature, but with Lightroom mobile, I really value raw.

Arun never disappoints especially when it comes to camera comparisons

I think a better test will be when the s24 comes out. The s23 is essentially a last gen phone compared to a latest gen phone. The pixel 8 is coming out soon aswell so I would love to see a comparison between the iPhone 15 and the pixel 8 prio

ive been using samsung Ultras since the S20. Each year ive found myself using the max megapixel mode less and less to create a good looking pic. I think i've only used it twice this year since getting an S23 ultra on day1 vs using it every day back in the S20 ultra days.

Samsungs goal is clear. They want to prioritize processing speed and power and, of course, the onboard display. The camera pretty much takes a back seat, almost an afterthought even, as they want to only keep pace with Apple.

I can't wait to get a camera comparison between the iPhone 15 pro and the Google pixel 8 pro! Think that will be very interesting

as a cinematographer, too much dynamic range goes wrong on the s23 ultra's rare camera an average dynamic range from both phones would be perfect. 💯 but the s23's selfie is the best so far

For me, the biggest thing about 15 pro lineup is that it has a lot of things in normal mode. 14 pro can also take Live Photos, high res photos and portraits, but not at the same time. With 15 pro, you get all three with just one shutter press in normal mode

Efforts put into a single video … is phenomenal 🎉

I totally agree with your comparison. I‘m a hardcore apple user but still like the phones Samsung makes. What I don‘t like about the Samsung camera is, that the colors are too overpowered and don‘t give that natural look the IPhone does. I really like taking photos of the nature and these overpowered unnatural green grass colors on the Samsung are a big part of my decision that the IPhone camera is better.

Making you're own concert just to test the cameras is genius great reviews as always!

I think the photographic styles is underrated on iphone cuz if you want warmer photos you can change it to that

Like so many things I love how complex the comparisons really are. Really does come down to what people want to do with it. That night mode stuff is crazy these days though, both camps are scary good.

As a long time Samsung user, im really impressed by the new iPhone! Ill be switching to the IPhone 15 Pro Max when im able to

I do understand S23 Ultra released 6 months ago but here’s the thing what are we gonna compare to 15 Pro max if not S23 Ultra for now. Aron is totally unbiased while comparing ❤

I've never owned an iPhone and much prefer Android and currently have the S23 Ultra. Camera quality is super important to me in choosing a phone. My question when I watch is whether the iPhone cameras are "better enough" to make me consider switching. It does look like the 15 Pro Max is probably the best all around, but the differences aren't enough to tempt me to make the change. Well done iPhone, but I'm still not ready to go to the dark side :)

I loved the smoke show and your performance Arun 🤩 It's not being talked about enough 😤 Top Quality stuff as usual 👊

Yeah but the s23 ultra new software update makes a huge difference on photos. Literally almost everything they speak on the new update is just about the camera and photo processing.

I think both phone cameras are equally good in their own way and it comes down to personal preference. For example, I much prefer the daytime pictures of the samsung

You should include a category for using the flash light on the phones to take photos :) Apples flash are double the size it seems!

I found the s23 ultra pics and video to be better. If you look from an individual perspective and the way you like your photos then the score will differ. Both phones camera are equally good and for a common man I think you can buy any of these and not regret. I have to give it to Samsung though as they have really come a long way in terms of giving apple tough competition in the camera department.

If you’re a content creator, then you can make any camera work in your favour❤ just don’t think about the quality & start creating!!

Arun: Resolution doesn't matter on phones Also Arun: the only reason portrait mode is a draw is that the iPhone takes 24MP portraits instead of Samsung's 12MP

Arun's fall from that stairs was really unexpected 😂😂😂

Nice Comparison. I find it interesting that you've done comparisons for 24mp vs 12mp and 48mp vs 200mp and completely skipped the 50MP mode on the Samsung. The S23 Ultra takes pretty good daytime picks at 50MP which are often better than default 12mp picks. i.e. less compression or jagged edges from over sharping. The 50MP photos are also better than the 200MP photos Samsung should take apples lead and make 50mp the default resolution. I would have liked to see comparisons between 24MP vs 50MP and 48MP vs 50MP. Oh, and we forget that HEIF format is not widely supported on non Apple devices and require exporting as JPG.

I love how everyone is respectful to one another in the comments, anyone who understands tech knows both the phones are phenomenal and there truly is no better one out the two, it totally comes down to personal preference.

It would be so much better if you did these comparisons on the base models. I couldn't care less about the ridiculous versions I just want to know how the more common everyday phones compare

S23 Ultra is such a device that it destroyed the iPhone 14 and could go head to head with the iPhone 15 that came out 6 months later. I mean, both devices are good, but the S23 Ultra has a special place to me ❤

Looking forward to these videos every year. :D Well done!

im pretty sure the iphones standard camera is there to capture as real to life as possible. you can apply photographic styles in settings to make it warmer or cooler, or more vibrant/poppy etc.

what i love is the fact that both phones release 6 months after eachother, which makes impossible to compare as each release does it better. I cant wait to see what the s24 ultra has in store for us.

Most of the times I did prefer how the colors look on the s23 but samsung is still very behind iPhone when it comes to video and audio quality however both phones look great and the avarge user doesn't really notice all these details and for the not so avarage user both options are still great and it was a bit biased to give the camera app point to iPhone when samsungs had like 2x more features and tweaks and users like features most of the times I actually find out new features when im bored and using my phone that I've owned for quite a bit and still get shocked like "oh I can do this" it's such a nostalgia.

Love your channel appreciate all the hard work you do

I didn’t realise how “fake” the Samsungs photo and videos were till now! They change the colours to look “poppy” sooo much! Whereas Apple shows it as it is which I personally appreciate more, any things I want changed I can do myself afterwards until then I’d prefer as close of a resemblance to what I’m looking at for my photos and videos

I've noticed that BRvidrs who discuss mobile phone video recording never mention the jittery effect that occurs when panning left to right. It seems that the phone camera's shutter speed may be the culprit. It's frustrating to see video examples that are either in slow motion or completely still like a webcam, as this doesn't accurately represent the normal video experience. It's crazy that phone manufacturers or reviewers aren't being honest about this common issue when promoting new models. Personally, the jittery effect makes me feel dizzy. It would be great if someone could ever address this problem.

Honestly a draw for me. I prefer Samsung's colours though. Iphone definitely has an aestheticly pleasing design and has great cameras but it doesn't make sense when you're not in their ecosystem. Maybe in a couple of years i'll order the Iphone15 but I just ordered the S23.

For a second I was afraid that you're going to completely skip the higher resolution mode on S23U and I was nearly right. Nearly, because you've only mentioned about the 200MP mode when in reality there's also a 50MP mode which is superior (in my opinion as a user) to both standard 12MP and the high-res 200MP. It's my default mode for daytime pictures because of the added detail when compared to 12MP mode. It still takes a few seconds for the phone to process the picture but IMO 50MP mode is the perfect balance between quality of pictures, size of sized image and time this phone needs to process the image before it's accessible. I believe that comparing standard 24MP mode on iPhone to 50MP mode on Samsung could slightly change the result and overall comparison.

to be honest as a regular user s23 ultra pics just look better i don't care about the fine details you need a nice pic you get it thats what matters maybe it would be different for photographers but for the normal person i'd choose the s23 as for cameras and for the phone as a whole

As a tattoo artist, with mostly indoor lit evening photos of tattoos, as phone cameras have gotten better, they have gotten worse for tattoos, higher res picking up more glare and skin texture than our eyes and making the tattoos harder to read. With my new iPhone 15 pro, it seems to have taken some of that out and given some closer to what I’m seeing in person images. Huge step forward for us tattoo artists at least! I also came from a Samsung s21 Ultra.

I don't think you mentioned that the iPhone 15 Pros' video recording glitch still exist from 13 and 14 Pros' As you're recording and when you move closer to the subject, there's still that 'skipping' effect when the phone changes lens to keep the object in focus... Also, has Apple fixed the 'no pause' option when you're recording a video on the stock iOS?
