Turn off the Scene optimizer in the Galaxy S23 and you get much more natural looking photos with less sharpening and saturation. Also, shooting at its 50MP mode will easily destroy the other two phones in this comparison.

At first I thought that Samsung was gonna loose badly but later in the video, I was shocked 🤣🤣

Digital sharpening doesn't = more detail🤦🤦 Samsung finally toned it down. And as a photographer I'm really happy about that, cuz you can always add sharpening but you can't remove it

I really wanted to see telephoto portrait mode of samsung☹️, because it is one of the most loved feature and the other 2 phones dosent have , im sure it would take better portraits compared to main lens , im really surprised you didnt compared it ☹️

a very happy S23 user here, loving this phone, and really glad i chose this over the iphone

S23 is best !

As they are all good, I would go for the S23 as I find it more flexible at it does come with an ecosystem (we do have Samsung TVs, oven, SmartTags).

Despite the pixel only taking second place, the pixel 7 is 300$ cheaper than the s23 and iphone 14 so it has much more value

Funny you don't mind totally wrong colors (which are difficult to correct) but in a picture where the Pixel is the only one getting the exposure right, giving a slightly darker face (which is easy to adjust if you feel the need) you you take away points from the Pixel! 6:16

I wish Google would fix portrait mode... 2x portraits look atrocious.

I actually had a tough time choosing between these 3 phones last week and ended up with S23 No regrets

S23 is almost a perfect phone if 6.1 inch is adequate enough for you.. i have been using it for 4 months and all i can say is... there is absolutely nothing this phone lacks

Did you have the beauty mode on the samsung? It's on by default and it's probably what causing the skin smoothing and saturation

I wish if you could include a reference picture from a professional camera in every camera comparison video you do. so we have something more true to life to compare to.

I bought the S23 a few days ago and it's by far the best smartphone I have owned so far. It doesn't have a headphone jack but other than that, it's a perfect device.

No matter who the winner is my budget is pixel 6😂😂

I Gotta go with the Pixel. Great uploads as always my man, thank you for all you do 👊🏿

I sold my 14 Pro Max for 7 Pro, Pixels camera is way better. I'm hoping the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have better camera quality this year, as it was so poor last year after all the hype! 👌🏻🇬🇧🙂

Great comparison! I think it depends on who is doing the test and where. I saw some tests the S23 was slightly worse than the Pixel or the iPhone. But I saw some daily vlog videos from the iPhone 14 Pro I was disappointed with the quality. Overall it depends on personal preference. I like Samsung colors. Hopefully, Samsung fixes a "light filter" which is on the photos or videos. It looks warmer. The colors look a bit washed out. The rendering of colors on the S23 screen is also a bit brighter than last year.

Turn off the scene optimizer on samsung to get natural colors. Thank you.

Pixel 7 and Galaxy S23 came definitely tricky choices. Had it been their Pro and Ultra versions, respectively, Galaxy S23 Ultra would have been my choice, easily. However, with base variants, it's like choosing between superior camera with great specs along with interesting clean software, and great camera with superior specs with simple minimalistic but filled with tonnes of features and some unnecessary apps.

Maybe it's just me, but the S23 gives your skin a weird, translucent look. It's almost like you have a cold in some pics, and in others, it looks like there's light beneath your skin trying to shine through. Kind of like how sunlight shines through the cartilage of an ear.

You've put a lot of work in to the comparison! Thanks! :-) Considering an S23 myself...

I own S23 but I must admit that the pixel 7 rocks the camera category overall IMHO. I may buy this pixel 7 sooner. Thanks for this video comparison.

Pixel has the best and sharpest main camera, iphone is a close 2nd, samsung (~20% smaller sensor) is usually worse than both. However they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Zoom and wide is better on Samsung, iphone has a yellow tint, samsung has a blue tint, pixel is great overall, but often requires adjustments to make photo look better than iphone. I was surprised by the absence of lens flare in iphone which was probably done in software, it gives an impression that is sharper than Pixel (it's not) . Overall they are all great, the sensor size (not pixels) increased by almost double in all 3 phones in comparison to 2020-2021 phones which means any of this phones camera is better by a big leap than any other 1-2 years old phones

Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate the extensive review and I could really see the strengths of each of the phones. I think I like close-up photos taken on Pixel 7 but Samsung S23 impressed me with that zoom 30x function. I don't mind the overkill smoothening on Samsung S23, to be honest. Automatic beauty filter? Why not lol. I already have a Samsung smart watch, so my next upgrade would still be Samsung and S23 is something I will definitely consider should I feel like upgrading.

Great comparison! For me I would have to pick between the s23 and pixel 7 and it's tuff

3:05 so it’s basically about what you like instead of which one was more true to life

Always Samsung

I guess pixel would be the best choice for me even if it is not as good as s23 it's better than I phone 14 plus it's the most affordable among the 3 of them plus I like it's ui a lot more. Nice video ❤

Congratulations for 150k subs keep going keep rocking ♥

The portraits from the Samsung though 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Iphone didn't win those category with it's yellow bright tint when there was no sun. To each is its own but iphone cam is a no here. Stop trying to make comparable with pixel.

Pixel looks slightly better and more natural in almost every photo imo

the most reliable review is not the one from the youtubers as they have biases :) the best review is the ones from camera blind tests, like marques's, because they're unbiased, and the voters are the viewers themselves. companies can easily pay youtubers . we all know that :) youtube is business for most youtubers

The portraits on S23 are just... Wow

I own a 14 pro but I like the small s23 . Such an awesome little phone

The Samsung sensor seems stronger. Exposure seemed better resulting in higher, crisper detail. That said, the sky often seemed bluer than I'd expect and shadowing seems much less pronounce. Overall I'd agree the samsung seems superior.

Pixel 7 can be had for $579 US, winner. That Realtone tech on the Pixel is amazing

Pixel night time prowess is simply unmatched. Precisely why I own one. However, the video quality leaves much to be desired

No pixel till they fix the heating and battery issues, all thanks to exynos chips, although I have been huge fan and supporter for Samsung in house chips but they let down in real life. Hoping this is solved in TG3. Hence, I would still choose iPhone for overall experience as camera is just one part and overall iPhone has better experience. S23 is close second, they have great UI and I am hoping SD8 gen 2 is much better than E2100 and comparable to A15 now.

Samsung have never released a flagship phone without a telephoto since the s10e

The pixel 7 won in every category that actually mattered. Lost in slow mo, cinematic and video/zoom ( by a bit imo and the zoom is expected because it doesn't have a telephoto yet look what the software is capable of).

Love Samsung Galaxy

Both the iPhone and Samsung suffer from awful white balance. There's usually a nasty greenish/yellowish cast. It makes the photo look dirty compared to the Pixel's superior WB. Pixel's photos are clean. ✨

Well geezzz, I'm stuck with a S23 plus........so be it:)

Didn't expect that kind of total score. Anyways m galaxy s23 user. What a relief!

Am happy to be Samsung fanboy...very soon we will get better improvement with software update

Did you disable the Scene Optimiser on the Galaxy?

Awesome video. Clearly laid out all the info you need to know in almost all modes of the camera, and am a huuuuge fan of the Pixel software. But bumping up +1 to a comment i saw requesting for a telephoto portrait of the S23. Probably one of my most used camera modes as an S23 user and smartphone photography hobbyist. Actually thought the Pixel was gonna win because it doesn't over-process photos like Samsung + better camera system than iPhone, but given the processing of each phone it really does come down to preference on how you like your photos! Thanks for the awesome vid.

1. who shoots in 8k? only bloggers? the video weighs a ton, and the memory on the phone is not that much. 8k is for the tick, especially in basic phones. 2. Who buys a 14 iPhone? 13 PRO is much better than 14 iPhone and Samsung 23. 3. Samsung is prettier than all phones, but it's Samsung. In half a year, it will cost 2 times cheaper.

The Best camera has iPhone. There is too much contrast in Samsung and Pixel is too dark. And once more, you can take 8K VIDEOS in Samsung but resolution of the display is 1080p though.

I get why the blown out skies in the iPhones ultrawide are unpleasant but removing points for being the only one that maintains your black jacket as black is weird. Not every shadow needs to be raised and washed out.

For the main samsung camera did you test in 50mp mode? I think not.

Try taking higher res pictures in samsung or raw mode pictures u will get more natural looking shots...so that makes samsung the no 1 phone for camera also more features than apple and pixel..

Pixel anyday.. I haven't use pixel but recently I just got to try out the pixel camera from my niece. And I am in love with it. The image output I like it so much.. only complaint is not that great with shooting open field or place

I think iPhone wins in the video category for sure for normally recording videos. They are so much sharp and the detail. There's huge difference. Never been a n iPhone user but still i think it is what it is. Liked Google's overall photos while Samsung for more ready to upload social media pictures - more pop up colours and punchy looking. They can be bought according to different purposes

Im glad I bought pixel 7 after being an apple user since 2016 😂

Definitely would have to be the galaxy, the ceiling is much higher the Tensor 2 in the Pixel may become problematic as the phone ages and the iPhone is an iPhone and that's just for me never an option. Doesn't play nice with the stuff that I like to do on my phone and if is a work around it will make me dizzy just to get anything done.

Samsung is fun guys, Google can be for normal users who don't care much, iPhone for videos or for show-offs😅 as simple as that😂

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort you put in making this video. But it's clear you're favoring the S23 too much.

Hello Sir what gimbal did you use to hold your phones

Use Pro-Mode on the S23(Plus). Colors and dynamic Range way better as normal App. I had the Pixel 7 for 1 week. Good camera but little to cool in colors and lift shadows often too much. Pixel 7 has no Pro Mode and can not shot in 50mp Raw. Only 12mp Raw with limited control. Samsung has few more option in Pro.

Fantastic video! It helps my decision making!

Can someone tell me why DXO mark gives the Samsung ultra 11th in rankings???

Does Samsung s23 regular have optical zoom

I would give the IPHONE the win for the videos and pixel 7 for the photos and Samsung for balance between the two that is why I would pick the samsung.

You should zoom in the pics to see if they are crispy everywhere not only in general

I am owning the s23. Couldn't be a better phone

how about use the 50mp mode on the s23 and remove scene optimizer??

iPhone in 2024 reminds me of nokia in 2007

The only bad thing about this comparison is that all the pictures were taken under Germany's cloudy skies. I know it's beyond your control but only that takes away from this comparison, other than that it's a great side by side!

I can't wait to buy s23+ these days, i found the 256 version for $1100

Pixel 7 is hands down a better choice, especially considering it's a lot cheaper and also often on sale. At the end of the day just buy whatever suits you more

Google looks better quality camera

I had iPhone and now galaxy s23, I'm glad I have this phone. I will never go back.

Have the image details and processing of base s23 improved after the updates?

The pricing:- Pixel7-35k iPhone 13-52k Samsung S23-49k Pixel 7 pro -46 k Technically 7 pro is competion of the both😅

I can see loyal and supportive S23 users😅🙌

If you could also include their party apps camera quality or picture quality, it would be of great help! Peace ✌️

Wating for this ❤ tnx man 💚💚 love from Bangladesh

7:14 bro put his life on the line for science amazing

From what I'm seeing, the Samsung makes your skin and even hair color look more red. Your hair in the Pixel and iPhone photos is dark brown but on the Galaxy it's a lighter reddish-brown. I'm not a fan of that color change. Is there any way to fix that?

Please do a comparison of the S23 vs xiaomi 13 vs one plus 11,thats a better comparison of the same generation of camera on base sets

The sign on the first photo literally asks not to take pictures there and yet, here we are ...

Why didn't you zoom in so that we can see which one of them are more reliable? Most of the time when ai take pictures I'll zoom in to see details of the picture when I look at it later and you didn't cover that, which is the most important thing.

We need to consider prices when we talking about these phones

Wow i really can't believe now portrait mode in iphone 14 is the worst portrait mode ever, i've seen

Would love to see the sports mode feature

I ❤ SAMSUNG

The camera outputs of pixel look trash in my regard. They just make faces uglier to make real tone.And their portraits sucks everytime. You can have better portrait on 200$ galaxy phones xD.

it`s weird to see you complain about Samsung smoothing your face but no mentioning if the beauty filter is on of off. Maybe the first photos would be much better if that setting was turned of....

What about Pixel 7 video? is it better than iphone11, 12 or not?

Samsung wins it comfortably. Also, there are plenty of other options available on a Samsung like the pro mode, raw mode, 50 mp full resolution mode, etc.

Bro, iPhone 13 or Samsung galaxy s23 which is better to shoot gym videos,as you know gym have so much lights,so which is better for video shoot please reply?

You didn't use telephoto lens on S23???? Why???? That's not fair comparison for portrait mode

brother i am waiting for your reviews ❤️❤️ your review is best 🖤🖤

Bro please do Camera Battle between Honor Magic 5 Ultimate (not Pro Version) VS Nubia Z50 Ultra 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so much for this. This has helped me choose my next phone, which will be the galaxy S23.

Watching on s23🙂
