I actually like the S22 Ultra best

Yes the 23 Ultra is a brilliant photography and (especially for me) video tool, but all the phones it was competing against here have brilliant flagship cameras of their time and have been improved and perfected over their lifespan. This test to me showed that the S23U is not the finished article yet by any means, but for a new device it has magnificent potential. The 22U to me can teach it things at this point in time as it takes better photos in some scenarios, but a year of updates from now it should have it's backside handed to it on a plate by the S23U. The 24U will come out and it's camera will be outperformed by the 23U in many areas for a time before it develops to become Samsung's finest and so on. It is the circle of technolife.

There are still many situations where I prefer the S22 to the S23, maybe with future updates I will change my mind

It’s because the s22 ultra had a year of updates to improve on the camera software while the s23 hasn’t gotten many software updates yet

In most of these cases I actually prefer S22 over the others.

thanks a lot, this is very helpful.

People say, get the S20 or the S21, because the camera is just as good and they're less expensive. Yes, but I wanted the S Pen and more storage. So I bought the 1tb S22 Ultra.

That kind of space is only useful if you are doing serious file storage. I never maxed out my 256gb phone and I just got the 512GB. I believe the more important number is your system Ram. The S21 Ultra has more system ram than both the S22U and the S23U. They max out as 12gb as the S21 max out at 16gb.

I'm really liking this nightography on the s23 ultra.

Welcome to the flagship battle Era. Where phone companies rush unfinished products on the market every 6 months. But we only get the "final" version after another 6 months of updates 😑.

I was searching for this video you are great

I am sorry you can OBVIOUSLY see the S21 Ultra has a very noticeably better front camera...Wild. I would say the Rear camera is also better where it matters on the S21U.

Thank you for this review. I am an iPhone user (don't all boo me at once lol) but after recently upgrading to the 14 plus, I am really disappointed with the camera. 5x zoom is ridiculously disappointing. It's just frustrating, particularly as someone who enjoys taking photos (& does it a lot) that the camera for the contract price I am paying is so crap. Definitely leaning towards the S22 Ultra after watching this, so thank you for posting. 📲👍🙂

Love my S22 ultra 👑

you said s22 ultra front camera video on the edge is a bit blurry , that's because S22 ultra had a shallower depth of field than the S23 ultra

After coming from an S21 Ultra what I can say is the biggest improvement on the S23 Ultra is consistency. The S21U's HDR would only work 50% of the time, it was completely unreliable, while the S23U gets almost 100% of the shots right. Also the S21U would heat up and start lagging like crazy, which is not a problem on the S23U. Absolutely amazing phone, this was a HUGE upgrade to me!

Do you see any rear lens transitioning issue on S23 Ultra? While holding S23 Ultra very still, the objects/scenery tend to shift/arrange itself when shifting between 0.6x,1x,3x and 10x lenses. Any specific reason why S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra have this issue? Why did S21 Ultra being their first with this configuration never faced such issue. Looking forward to your insight. Thanks.

Which s21 ultra are you using, is exynos or Snapdragon?

Used all those ultras shown in ur vid hence I do understand and appreciate the improvements samsung has made over the years

What's the best upgrade from the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and the S20 Ultra features ?

Samsung must of paid him to praise the S23 Ultra because he did it when it clearly didn't win in some comparisons I bought a sky blue S23 Ultra when they released and returned it and went back to my S21 Ultra after 1 week which I still use it's a better phone and I take pictures constantly and didn't miss anything going back down 2 generations. Night shots theirs less street light flares but u lose quality in your image on the 23 Ultra so just don't look at a Street light when u take pictures and have the exact same quality the 23 Ultra has.

Did you use the Exynos or Snapdragon S22 Ultra? I thought the S22 Ultra was better throughout.

This actually seems like a paid advertisement for the S23 Ultra. All of them are still very good. The upgrades are minimal but they are barely noticeable to the average Joe with the exception of the OIS on the S20U. I have ALL of them so I'm speaking for myself.

Very little improvement over years. Most notable one is picture noise in darkness, but in videos that difference becomes much smaller.

The S23 Ultra only takes good pictures in cooler lighting but in strong lighting pictures change colors to green, yellow or orange. It's the least among them when it comes to color balance. The only improvements I see from it are the details in the photos but only with pictures taken in cooler lighting.

@TechMikkel

Жыл бұрын

I think most of these color grading problems will go away in the next camera update. I might add two more problems: Blue shadows and cyan sky color. However, it is just in some scenarios and especially the one you describe: Strong lighting sources facing towards the camera such as the sun a couple of hours before sunset and hdr engine seems to be responsible. The main camera on the s22u does have less texture and details, but sometimes the s23u seems to sharpen everything slightly too much on rough surfaces - other times it just looks amazing.

Ok so basically, it is NOT worth spending $1000 for an upgrade. Very subtle changes. Thanks for this video

S23 ultra clearly a big improvment.

Well okay, you proved me and everyone else claiming that there is no real camera innovation wrong. Great video. PS: Something that would be really really interesting and quality information when doing camera testing ( especially the pixel vs iphone vs samsung comparisons) which no one else does and would be extremely helpful for everyone is to charge all the phones to 100% and at the end of the test tell us how much battery each phone has left. Usually battery tests are not that comprehensive towards different camera usage and therefore we dont get much input on that, however when doing a bunch of stuff during the camera test it would gives us a great idea of how well each phone preserves battery on realistic shooting, pretty much for free, just need to have all phones to 100% and that's it, since you are essentially doing the same stuff on each phone.

Why didn't you replace the s20 ultra by the note20 ultra honestly whit the mess the s20 ultra is people would be more interested to see the note20 ultra in this comparison

In my view there is a big step of improvement from the s22 Ultra. The s23 Ultra is in some ways a better camera phone in addition to the s22 Ultra Especially in some scenarios as well as in video especially at night but this difference is not as chaotic as the difference that the s22 Ultra has from its predecessor s21 Ultra. Also the sound of a video from s20Ultra and s21 Ultra is very bad but from s22 ultra and s23 Ultra ist very good and they are now comparable to iPhone

Honestly none of these cameras worth the update, the difference is quality if below minor. Yes something is visible but I wouldn't even be able to judge if it's a change towards better or worse. It seems like that with smartphones cameras we reached the maximum of the technology.

what do you mean not much difference. S23 Ultra has a new display, ram, storage, better stabilization,cpu, sensor, speakers and sound, battery, better cleaner and crisper zoom in 3x, 10x, 30x etc! It's a whole new beast, no comparison to the S22 Ultra that was tweaked version of the S21 Ultra. There is nothing the same as the 22 Ultra beside the maybe the look of Squareness and camera lens positions, which is bigger on the S23 Ultra. What is the same as the S22 Ultra?
