gosh you really did an awesome job putting these into perspective! Some KZfaqrs make this comparison a 20 min long video and they bring no conclusions, eventually. Super underrated content

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.

I'm surprised you are the only KZfaqr chose S23U over iPhone for photos. I love S23U though

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!

Love the quick thoughts and review. I’m sure it’s lots of work, but I appreciate it condensed like this 👍🏻

S23U have astro mode.

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

I must have seen about 30 hours of KZfaq 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.

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.

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..

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 KZfaqrs. Thank you . Keep the amazing work. ✨

excellent comparison and very objective!

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.

Love these reviews

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.

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.

Great review Ben!🙌

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.

Wow ... Great Video & Great comparison...❤👌

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.

I don't like noise canceling. I like to hear the surrounding sound and clarity.

This is the best ever comparison of these three..Especially the zoom. Thank you!

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

Did you turn on Voice Isolation on iPhone? 😊 Great comparisons 🥰

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 !!!!

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?

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.

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.

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!

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 😎

To be honest with you, your review is one of the best. Keep it up man

is the video stutterung when u record left to right or vice versa w 4k 60fps and stabilization on?

Would REALLY REALLY LOVE it if there were DLSR photos n footage to compare to the phones

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?

Great video, it's a pity u didn't compared selfie pictures, or portrait shots :)

Year after year this type of video is great and energetic lot of thanks ...

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.

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.

what is the tripod thing? How is it called? Cant find anything similar...

S23 ultra the true king of mobile ❤🎉👌

Ben, thanks for helping everyone !

What specialist are you in photography when you give the winner on the s23, which brings out the saturated colors while google natural?

Sir You doing well ♥️ and It’s very hardworking

is it possible to redo this test sine the pixel 8 pro is now released?

Finally,a genuine unbiased review, you've earned my respect sir.

Nice comparison 👍

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.

Excellent video

Great video! Waiting for the iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Samsung S23 Ultra vs Google Pixel 8 Pro Camera Test

2:16 Butterfly realizes you're looking at it.

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..

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.

Will you be doing this again when the pixel 8 pro drops?

Pixel for photo, iphone for video and sosialmedia. Samsung for zoom over 10x

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

Thankyou so much

Best comparison I've seen

Just upgraded from S8+ to S23 ultra. Gotta say I am loving the S23

Why only 4k 30 sample... show us 4k 60 sample .. Most people are going to use smooth 4k 60fps in general use

I don't have any of them but still watching 🗿

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

Nice camera comparison. I'm a huge fan of the S23U.

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!

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...

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.

Nice test

Did you use proraw 48mp on iPhone

This guy just love the zoom, overexposed, and saturated photo. That’s why he picked s23 on photography. But for me pixel is the best for photography. iphone for videography. Ang samsung only wins on zoom photography.

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

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.

*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.

Very Useful Video 😱😱😱

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

any city light shots?

The pixal looks nice its slightly better the the s23U the iphone was struggling

I love your reviews because it's got some honesty, the S23 ultra IS the winner for photography (if not for videos i agree)

I am So Excited For Gopro vs IPhone

You skipped low light outdoor video comparison 🤦‍♂️

Where is the portrait mode compairison?

Always when you comparing cameras there should be a low light. Otherway its not complete at all.

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

Pixel & Samsung is the best for me in both camera and video department

Can't wait for the Pixel 8 Pro video!

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.

U earned a sub : )

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.

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.

very nice

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.

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.

Good Comparison, but Slow Mo has to go to Samsung for having the Option to go to 960Fps

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.

The most awaited comparison, top camera phone on the market,, #pixelfans......... Thank you for the video 👏

Not so straight. Samsung uses digital processing on 10x, not natural optical zoom. Then, it uses the iillusion of “crisp” display to show the photo. Iphpne usually uses a natural color, not oversaturated color, giving you the impression of a “good” photo

Turn off the astrophotography auto mode in pixel and you'll find that the time reduces significantly
