Did Samsung update their software because the S24 and S24U look so much better in those comparisons compared to months ago. It’s the oldest phone but can easily keep up with the best. I hope they will upgrade the camera system of the S25
yeah they released new update on iphone announcement day for entire s24 lineup, just in time for comparison. Camera and battery has improved a lot on 24u
The Balance and Flexibility of Galaxy S is always impressive to me. It can excel at everything but not specifically beat others ! Jack of all trade definitely
Today at work i needed to take some videos and read some labels inside a machine and without the 3x on my s22 it wuold have been impossible so having the zoom camera is a no brainer for me
Phone market has matured already. It is a matter of preference for android or iphone. We don't need to spend 1000 bucks to get a good one either. I got my Pixel 8 for 500 bucks.
I think we're past the point where these comparisons matter, all high end phones take great pics and video, and even mid tier ones are great. Congrats, we all win
@@ryanlunzen9794, that true to an extent. These reviews are targeted at the majority who buy phones at cell carriers, Walmart and BestBuy. Most Americans only know overpriced product that’s trendy.
Could you test night time video with the Pixel 9 Pro video boost on? I'd be curious how that footage would compare to the 16 Pro and S24 Ultra for night video.
I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I take a picture (S24 Ultra) with people around me using iPhones, they always seem amazed by the quality of the photos. Maybe people actually prefer more vibrant colors.
Well you can set the level of vibrancy on the camera for iPhone and it’ll persist, then again a lot of iPhone users just operate the damn thing at default settings so they’re missing out. 🤷♂️
Of course they prefer unnatural vibrant colors. Thats the same reason high gamut displays are never set to clamp to RGB values by default. People want their RGB content to be stretched into the wider color space even at the cost of realism. Even I prefer more unnatural colors but I am aware that they are unnatural and that bothers me so I force myself to make thing look more plain/natural even if it looks worse
it's just that the colours should applied after the photo was taken not already pre processed to be Instagram ready. On often especially with people as subjects, it doesn't actually look good at all.
3:03 portrait mode 2x iPhone Win! Look at the hair. Small details are clearly visible. On the iPhone, individual hairs r visible.And on others everything is smoothed out!
That's even more amazing than I thought for the Pixel 9. I love the style of the image that covers all kinds of tones and takes pictures in all kinds of lighting conditions and people.
I'm glad you used the regular S24. The fact that the camera array on the S2x Ultra phones are different is slightly annoying. Wish Samsung could just admit defeat like the Pixel, and just create a smaller sized S24 Ultra if they want to separate the camera sensors from the Ultra line to the regular and +.
Hey! Could you please test the phones' raw photo capabilities, how much detail do they really capture without the compressions? That would be really interesting
I’ve been watching a ton of comparisons between these 3 and the thing that I’ve concluded is that Pixel’s lead is no longer there. They used to be way ahead in still photos, but not anymore.
I have to go with the S24 for having a dedicated 3x telephoto and pro controls for photo and video within the stock camera app. When we go outside of cameras to software it's not even close.
I own the s24 plus and to be honest it's hands down the best because it's cameras are vested in technology and it's shows it's has been calibrated with the update to make each mode shows it's function.
Hi man! i hope uou see this but the S24 is the base model? Im planning to buy for concert use and secondary phone so Im just checking as the zoom is useable in photo and video.
This time l noticed it l am always pleased by his analysis but he didn't point out horrible scenes on the iPhone buh as he said it comes to personal preference
@@dannywinget I'm not blaming you. I just said it because I saw some scenes that were not mentioned and passed over. I'm not a subscriber, but I always watch it. Thank you.
If you had to buy only one mobile phone between: pixel 8 pro, pixel 9, xiaomi 14, samsung S24 and xiaomi X14 pro, which would you choose taking into account camera and CPU quality or just camera quality and why? thanks
The iPhone is much sharper in daylight thanks to the 24MP default images in comparison to the S24. That is to be expected considering the 15 already had superior images.
@@dannywinget yes I saw your previous video, the pixel 9pro, 16pm, s24u ones prior to the update This is the S24 post UI7 update right, I think ultra can only get better from here.
Now this is a comparison video! all 3 phones right next to each other at the same time! unlike some of those other phone review channels *cough GSMArena official cough*
You are by far the best reviewer when it comes to camera comparison. You pay attention to meticulous details and it helps us to make a perfect decision. Thank you.
in my opinion, we've reached a point where it's no longer about having a 'better camera,' but rather about differences in features. While there are minor differences in tones, brightness, etc., you can always adjust these parameters after taking the photo. The most significant difference now is likely the new AI tools that support the camera-and Google is probably many steps ahead in this area, especially since Apple Intelligence isn’t a thing in the EU
sometimes brand names might trigger your ability to see the reality because i think sometimes people dont really tell the truth espicially when it comes to iphone they dont wanna go harsh on their country's phone
After watching this video i think i will hold on to my pixel 6 pro until the release of android 16 as the pixel 9 doesnt seem like a compelling upgrade
Samsung has 3x optical zoom. Cheapest top smartphone with 3 lenses and very good adjustable portrait mode (even after you take a photo). 3 lenses are the must.
The Samsung does really well in a lot of categories, but there were a few it did so poorly in they were dealbreakers. Between the Pixel 9 and the iPhone 16, I'd have to say the iPhone is better overall, but you can get the P9 unlocked for < 1/2 the price of an unlocked iPhone 16, so that's a HUGE advantage for Pixel.
Bro on your next video of the Pro phones please include the 24mp Samsung mode… I know its on expect row App but its not like theres no option of the mode cos most reviewers never mention it and say iPhone takes better pics because of tht 24mp
For me iPhone would be out of the question because there is no way to fix any issues you might have. I am quite happy with the general exposure and colour choices my Pixel 9 Pro makes, just as I was with the 7 Pro. But that "smartphone look" ie not having real detail when you zoom in, is only fixable on Android. Either Samsung on Pixel can do that. But there is something to be said for Apple's ergonomics. The interface, the shutter, all makes the process of capturing the photo that much more enjoyable. Also people won't believe me for this but the maximum possible video quality on these android flagships, if you are willing to forego a convenient workflow, is much higher. DirectLOG and RAW video makes a difference.
Additionally, I wouldn't be surprised if given some time that the base P9 will get 50mp. Not that you are actually missing out on anything but it's happened in the past as well.
Team Google, Samsung or Apple? Do you like I reviewed the entry level and more affordable flagships or do you want the Pro comparison?
24 ULTRA VS 9 ProXL VS 16PM
I can always trust your camera reviews. You are so honest and non biased. It makes it really enjoyable. :D
Entry level for sure
@@jorge_the_firstglad some people
Feel this way!
Just the pro models.
Why would you record 8k at night in the samsung? That's not a fair comparison as the higher resolution at night makes the video blurrier
Bias

Thats what I noticed too, months ago I was disappointed with its camera quality and performance and thought that the iphone 16 would easily crush it.
yeah they released new update on iphone announcement day for entire s24 lineup, just in time for comparison. Camera and battery has improved a lot on 24u
Yes, the last update seems to have fixed some of the disappointments. Still a few issues, but rumours another fix is coming, so that is great.
Yes Samsung updated again recently. It’s improved alot so I thought I would make this video.

Pixel edge detection is shite ..it's really not a good camera phone anymore... Samsung is way better then pixel now...
S24 is soo strong! Iphone is the most solid and stable I think.
Agreed 👍 I found the pixel the weakest out of the 3. I'm a pixel owner too
I am a iPhone 14 user. The 16 just has too much of a yellow/green cast in many of the photos. The S24 does the best overall job, I think.
As he mentioned, the colour tones etc are all totally modifiable during or even after taking the photos.
