iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Galaxy S24 Ultra Camera Test - Arguably the 2 best Smartphone camera options on the market today and in this video, we take a look at both on this beautiful day in Chicago and provide daytime videos and photos of all sorts to give you a good idea of which is going to be right for you! Share your thoughts, questions, comments, and enjoy this episode 😀🔥🎥📷📱
It is first time I can say that Samsung's video looks better for me. But transition between iPhone's lenses has no competition. And again, next generation where Apple did not fix this horrible green flares...shame that Ultra is not so comfortable to use. Nice helmet Nick ;)
i happen to have both, and here are my thoughts Selfies - iPhone Main Cam Photos - Both are good but I prefer S24 Ultra’s Zoom - S24 U, obviously Video - iPhone, hands down
That’s always been the main point. I don’t know why people don’t understand this. It’s basically your own preference. There’s no Samsung or iPhone. Samsung will enhance the image’s colors for you, while iPhone will give a more natural/realistic image which you can edit yourself if you want to.
I think the s24ultra 4k 60 looks way better when you were walking with the bike way better on the s24ultra 😊 Samsung fixed these cameras with the one ui 6.1.1 👍
iPhone 16 pro max absolutely overrated overpriced. I had it for 3 days and sent it back it's no different to my 13 pro max. Certainly would choose the galaxy every time.
Both phones have great cameras overall, great comparison, although iPhone still has the slight edge when it comes to video and finally we have the ability to pause a video recording on the iPhone now.
It was really great experience testing the cameras outside, I hope you'll keep this section! Would be nice to test the capabilities of the cameras in the night shooting department as well! Thanks a lot, Nick!
PLEASE do camera test and dont tell which is which. 99% of people don't know which is which and they choose iPhone or s24 because they are bias. That will be the true camera comparison
I mean you can't go wrong with either of them.. They are both great, but when zooming iPhone was so smooth and Samsung was kinda struggled.. And also Samsung has this crazy zoom capability so I love them both
I prefer the colors from the iPhone. The Samsung looks to saturated but as an iPhone user, I must say: I’m impressed by Samsungs camera. Well done!👏🏻👏🏻
Owning both 15 pro max from last year and the S24 Ultra. Ive noticed their photos are nearly identical 90% of the time unless u compare side by side. it only becomes obvious in night shots where Samsungs colors can appear slightly off sometime. but samsung offers more camera features to play with but the iPhone unquestionably excels in video quality. One major reason I prefer the iPhone is how good social media apps run on it especially as an Instagram content creator. Ultimately both phones have similar battery life and camera performance, though they operate on different platforms obv.
There's a harshness to the Samsung photos and videos, but I appreciate its ability to go further in areas like zoom, although even at 25x zoom on the sail boat, I think the iPhone capture looked nicer. Overall, both are great phones, but if i were choosing between either, its the ecosystem play that wins, which is the iPhone.
Not going to lie, I miss Samsung. Been with Iphone for about 3 years and like the OS but way too over priced and over hyped. Also what I saw online IOS 18 reduces the Pro Res refresh rate from 120hz to 80hz to conserve battery, again without telling anyone. Bit annoyed that I paid almost 1600$ for a pro phone and knowing this. Might as well went to a Samsung S24 or S25. Only thing I will be missing is Blue text message bubbles
@@Jack_Danyo try an s23 ultra from someone who uses it as their main device and you’ll see the real performance and quality of Samsung, also the video that you saw on TikTok is fake. It is from a Chinese influencer on TikTok and I’ve seen it too. They were using an iPhone with the floating RUclips video that is showing the screen and refresh rate not being stable and going down to 80 but it was proven wrong , and it is really obvious to anyone who uses an iPhone that it is a floating RUclips video and is completely fake. This influencers are paid for from Hawaii and Samsung and many android companies are trying to make the iPhone looks really bad if you really want to see the truth just do what I said. Try both phones in your hands and you’ll see the real day and night difference , these social media videos are completely fake and out of reality. I am just a regular user and I have nothing to gain by saying that
@@smartphonefan5226 yep, everyone in my family (wife and two grown kids) are iPhone carriers, 'cept me...puro pinche S24ULtra. I told them all to update to iOS 18 so they can get that RCS going and viola! No more messaging BS in group chats issues...
If iOS keeps adding things they’ve been missing for years there’s not a single reason to have android phones, I’ve had android phones from 2010 up until 2022 and my 14 Pro Max is the best phone i ever had, if apple keeps adding missing features i never see myself going back to android ever again, iPhone is a better “overall” package
Samsung really has to work on noise cancellation. iPhone's noise reduction is really neat. Other then that, Samsung is really on part with apple. Even kinda better for it's colorful videos.
anyone else notice when he zooms in you get a different audio as if he actually moved further away from the phone then it got back loud when he zoom out 1:15
iPhone it is characterised by the realism of colours and the smoothness of moving between lenses and samsung very colorful and it has trouble moving between lenses
What it's happening here is everything about how iPhone process the colors, on iphone it looks more cinematic filter so video is beautiful, it's like whatching a movie ... Meanwhile s24 is just normal , it's what most of the profesional photographers look for .... But if you know a little about Lightroom of editing video you can get a look like iphone .... But what I really love is the smooth move between the different zooming lens that the iPhone does .. it's perfect so cinematic ....
Wow, surprised how much better iPhone vide recording is than Samsung... I have expected that one will be slighylu better/worse than the other one, but iPhone destroys S24...
I'm not convinced about either, however the water and sunlight reflection looks more natural on the iphone because it feels less blocky. Maybe the samsung looks better in reality, but the bitrate of either samsungs- or youtubes-encoder destroys the quality.
Really close between them, and the pixel 9 pro is up there too. Some comments suggesting it's anything other than close are a bit ridiculous. Samsung takes it in low light tho
Not sure if its RUclips but the iphone 16 pro max quality looks better the 24 Ultra camera looks like its compressing the image a bit (Video wise) pictures look good on the S24
If I told everyone this was an android camera people would tell it was about good. Reality i tested this extensively with the iPhone 16 pro and the camera is about as good as my iPhone 13 pro max.
next oneplus 12 vs 16 pro max and then ipad m4 vs iphone 16 pro max and then you can interchange and upload the same, done this is your schedule for the next few days
the s24Utlra is badazz! and way more usable for anything you can think to do with it....iPhone, not so much..pics and video on these phones requires much hair splitting when trying to decipher which is best...ain't nobody got time fo dat!
In S24 Ultra there is too much sharpness that tends to create an artificial and annoying image to see in videos and a color balance, in my opinion a little badly calibrated. On iPhone the colors They are better calibrated and the sharpness is also much lighter, getting closer to our way of seeing things
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra isn’t much better than the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max. In fact, I think the iPhone 16 Pro Max is the best phone, followed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Samsung isn’t bad, though. Their phones aren’t just worth the extra $100.
There's much more you can do with an ultra, they're not even in the same league for those who can use all the features. Customization, routines, dex, all the s pen stuff, just to name a few. It's like they're 10 years apart. The average person is going to buy the iphone just because of the brand.
@@MyRealName It’s not 10 years apart. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra lags behind compared to even the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL’s camera. More megapixels don’t mean better.
In my opinion I think people need to calm down about having a competition between IPhones vs Samsung phones which one is better.. IPhone doing they own thing and Samsung doing they own thing people are complaining Samsung have that but not IPhones they can’t copy everything from Samsung or any another phones yea you might be right Samsung might be best phone but it people opinion they should get what they want if they are IPhones fan then get IPhone and people are Samsung fan then get Samsung it’s not big deal sometimes you want a phone depending on what you are going to use for
Oke in this video win Iphone 16 pro max why because of when you zoom Samsung s24 ultra it blink all the time. I love more video quality in Iphone in Samsung it sharpening a lot
Samsung destroys Apple here definitely especially with the longer range zoom and colors You get more better brightness and colors with Samsung. Apple is just more clear I guess It just is more natural but I still think Samsung offers a better brightness better colors and it's just better for zooming in on your subject or target.

Hdr on or off on iphone??
I appreciate the hardwork on this video.😊😊
I think it's difficult to get the comparison as you're supposed to split both of the video on the screen for more view comparison
I love reading the comments and watch people fight about the cameras 😂. Do you even realize the difference is so small that it really doesn’t matter 🤔
i happen to have both, and here are my thoughts
Selfies - iPhone
Main Cam Photos - Both are good but I prefer S24 Ultra’s
Zoom - S24 U, obviously
Video - iPhone, hands down
Some of the stuff iphone was better some of it the s24u was better. I was back and forth the whole time. Can't go wrong with either.
Ikr these people keep insulting others for what phone they use
Watching on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
👇
haha no one watching on s-24 ultra
I think iPhone camera looks more natural and Samsung's camera looks more colorful
That ls ngl the best way to put it
Honestly I would take natural over colourful because it looks more realistic

@@itzsanny6783 ye it’s a matter of opinion
Iphone recording with zoom is so smooth ❤
Am a Samsung lover but agree with u on this one but the results after the transition goes to Samsung... Samsung need to work on the transition though
They both look descent. It all comes down to operating system and customisation and that's where Samsung galaxy s24 ultra wins for me
I think the s24ultra 4k 60 looks way better when you were walking with the bike way better on the s24ultra 😊 Samsung fixed these cameras with the one ui 6.1.1 👍

i love how smooth the 16 pro was and how detail u got with the s24 ultra! they did great!!!
Both are similar and great. Also S24 Ultra's 5X telephoto camera is a bit better. and that's because it's 50 MP
Both phones have great cameras overall, great comparison, although iPhone still has the slight edge when it comes to video and finally we have the ability to pause a video recording on the iPhone now.
Great video Nick! Love your camera comparisons. S24U surprised me. Keep them coming!
Thanks a ton!
iphone 16 4k 120fps is just amazing wow far better video recording than s24 ultra
bro youtube doesn't even shows 120

@@mr.bibek777 So you know what is quality when it comes to Video, look at the sky and clouds
You little Indian boys don’t know about quality
U wish
Photos = s24 ultra wins most of the time

Slow mo= s24 seemed smoother
This video was great! Need more comparison videos like this. Absolutely my favourite tech channel 💪🏻
Awesome, thank you!

That is so true and be a better opinion. Just like blind taste testing Coke vs Pepsi!!
That's new for me usually i saw you upload speed test often good to see you are on camera test too keep it up ❤
I like how you explain about these two phones it is relaxed and looks elegant I hope you accept me as your new member
I mean you can't go wrong with either of them..
They are both great, but when zooming iPhone was so smooth and Samsung was kinda struggled.. And also Samsung has this crazy zoom capability so I love them both
androids are fine at best for video, but iphones offer quite great video quality
The video I was waiting for! Thank you so much!
Watching these in anticipation of my iPhone 16 pro max this October
Hey man, great, you and your bike are back !! 🥰👍
Nice review bro loved the camera comparison keep it up 🔥🔥🔥
Wow, this is such an awesome "camera test" between these two beautiful phones.🔥
Job well done! 👍

There's no point in upgrading my s24 ultra to the latest iPhone this year. I will wait till the next Samsung flagship arrives.
Peace out
at this point it's down to personal preference
great video tho!

Am waiting for the S25 to come out bet Samsung might improve the clock speed but we will have to find out😎

Im leaning towards the S25 Ultra
No sorry
I like how everyone are so polite in the comment section
Im a samsung fanboy but iphone is a whole another level in terms of camera
Nice nick another great video ! Please do a comparison between iPhone 16 pro vs iPhone 15 pro
This is an uncommon outdoor video.😀
iPhone it is characterised by the realism of colours and the smoothness of moving between lenses and samsung very colorful and it has trouble moving between lenses
8:05 why the slow video mode on the samsung looks washed out? This should be a software issue

I think the iPhone's video is much better, less grainy and keeps it smooth. But Samsung's images look more pleasing so they both get it for me.

Get any mirrorless Sony camera if you want serious photo and video quality because both galaxy and iPhone are not good
The only edge of iphone is the video transition when you zoom in and out.
Beautiful day!
Yes it was!
samsung just needs to dial down the sharpness on the videos and make lens switching a bit smoother otherwise both are really good 😀
Is this Chicago?
Yes this is
@@nickackermanchannel oh yeah, you even said that in the video... anyway

I love your bike sir 😊
S24 ultra 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Both cameras are doing great 👍🏻
iPhone is still better looks more natural, but S24 is finally catching up
They look largely the same. Just stylistic differences. That said, In good light most high and mid range phones all look the same.
Look at how clean the iPhone camera is
If I told everyone this was an android camera people would tell it was about good.
