Nope. The quality will be lowered down/compressed/converted into smaller sizes, resulting in a degrade of quality. It still looks good, but not as good as in the gallery

This is absolute nonsense. Android HAL APIs connect to the underlying OEM drivers for the specific camera hardware. If you are getting bad video its because you have a crap phone with a crap camera or the OEM couldn't be bothered to update their drivers/HAL, you are just using a poorly written app.

So how did an android won in MKBHDs video?
You can improve quality of video/photo by recording/shooting it in camera app first, then uploading to social media. Also, social media apps have better built-in media compressing methods on iOS than android ones. (eg. WhatsApp)
One more thing: Megapixels don't matter when it comes to social media. Instagram has a maximum image quality of 1350×1080 resolution. So even if your image is 4000×3000 (which mine mostly is), it will be compressed to instagram standards. This is the biggest reason why apple was on 12 MP even when other manufacturers were on 108 MP.

To clarify, this is only if youre using the social media platform's camera feature. Android pictures and videos still look great uploaded to social media. But your snaps and any videos or pictures you take within tiktok or instagram or whatever are going to actually be screenshots and look worse.
Samsung Galaxy RULES! Samsung had 8K video long before the iPhone. Samsung had replaceable battery (never availble on iPhone). S23 Ultra has 200MP camera compared to the newest iPhone measly 48MP. Samsung has USB-C charging -vs- iPhones STUPID slow and expensive "lightening" connector. Samsung phones will work with ANY smartwatch or other external devices; the iPhone is very restrictive and forces you to buy overprice options from Apple. iPhone is made by Communist-run semi-slave labor in Chinese sweatshops where Samsung is made in the free democratic nation of South Korea. MANY parts used in the iPhone are made by Samsung!

But not for S23 ultra it supports the full clarity of camera they are saying it in the launch of the phone as first Android phone to support the full clarity of camera
Theres absolutely no excuse for large companies like tiktok, snapchat, and instagram. They have enough money and employees to make it possible. Unless apple paid them to keep it the way it is which im almost positive happened.
Would it work better if you transfer the photo to your pc and upload it on social media from there instead? Or would it make no difference? Also, if that's the case, does that mean that taking pictures on an actual camera (not a phone) and then posting it from your phone will lower the quality when you post it on social media? Or would you just post it from the pc? I apologize if my questions don't make sense, as I may be confused of some things.

Basically hes saying is that android camera on social media are bad because android phones has a lot of different cameras such as xiaomi with leica, vivo with zeiss, samsung with their own camera, oppo with hassleblad and etc. so social media cameras like ig, snapchat and tikok cannot focus on one manufacturer of android because they all have different cameras. so social medias will only try to get the viewfinder to the android camera. While iphones are optimized to all social media because there are no other apple phone that iphones. but i think companies like samsung and google are trying to optimize their camera to all social medias to get the quality of their camera. I think this is what he said, but i dont know, maybe im wrong.
