Wow thanks I just know it now

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.

I must have seen about 30 hours of KZread 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.

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?

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 😎

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.

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.

excellent comparison and very objective!

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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

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...

Excellent video

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.

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.

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

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

*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.

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

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.

I agree. I have S23U and Pixel 7 Pro, and if I just took one out for the day, it would be the Pixel, as I rarely shoot 10X photos or videos. Obviously, I would choose that for video if I had an iPhone 15PM. It was clearly the best there, but the Pixel 8 Pro may give it a run for its money next week. Bearing in mind the Pixel is a year old and costs around half-price (deals) then the Pixel is the winner for me.

It's funny how you did this right before the Pixel 8 Pro came out 😂 So, Google and Apple have made their releases - but Samsung was the first to do so, meaning their model is the oldest. Should they release another model now? Or make the S24 actually in 2024? Or.. Should they do it later (still in 2023) and call it the S24 like in sports games (for example Madden 22 in 2021 - this isn't quite a good example seeing that it released in early August of 21')

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.

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.

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

Thankyou so much

Hard to complain about pixel 7 pro taking 4 minutes on a night shot when you forgot to disable that on a tripod which turns in to the astrophotography mode. Night shot is usually around 4-5 seconds for pixel devices isn't it?
