In Kenya, East Africa, you can buy 3 xiaomi 13T for a price of one iPhone 15 pro max. So this is an easy win for me for Xiaomi, it does a great job for it's price.

S23 ultra all is the best camera phone to my opinion. I guess at the end of the day it depends on the user experience.

A lot of these comparison wins don't make any sense to me. The results don't match what I'm seeing at all.

I had 4 guests over. I muted the video. I would pause the video and we would vote for each segment. In the end we liked the pixel more, followed by the S23. Also, the Pixel is lower priced and comes with a watch. Its a no brainer.

В остальных смартфонах телефото 12мп, к тому же размер матриц у них 1/3.52" и 1/3.06, тогда как у 8Про размер матрицы в телефото 1/2.55". Поэтому телефото у него лучший.

I have bought the Xiaomi 13t pro, mostly just because of the price performance ratio. The loading speed in particular is fantastic. But honestly, if there was a global version of the Oppo Find X6 pro, I would definitely have gotten it. I think the Oppo would beat all of these phones in this camera comparison. Perhaps it would be released more or less the same price like the Xiaomi 13t pro. Unfortunately there is no release planned.

Why do you like oversharpened picture so much ? You kept giving points to the phone with most overhsarpening which is weird. I mean people doesnt see things in that way .

Never lose a pixel on the camera, perhaps there are points on the smartphone where it loses, but not on the camera. You can delete the video straight away.

Hmmm, Xiaomi did well for it's price. If they were all in the same price segment, maybe Xiaomi beat the 3. But updates can still fix all those problems in cameras.

Please don't make a comparison video again. Because you don't say what you see correctly. You make it very clear that you are an apple employee. The best here was the S23 Ultra. Then the 13T Pro, then the iPhone and then the Pixel 8 Pro.

[@dutchbavarian]

Thanks for this great video. I think the 8pro wins, as it is cheaper than the iPhone. It would be interesting to compare cost per point for each phone based on average street price😉. I would guess the 8pro comes out as a clear winner.

[@morph-jh9iy]

Xiaomi is the price-performance winner and with the price savings I could live well with only less compromises. Otherwise, the difference between the Pixel and the iPhone (Pro) is so small that personal taste will probably be the deciding factor due to the look of the smartphones.

[@allakazoo]

The best Xiaomi 13 series that's available globally is the 13 Pro. The newer T series has lower specs and crippled in quite a few areas.

[@SocialPerspective101]

So which phone captures MOST details consistently in night videos across the 3 lenses?

[@Old._.Tim1]

Hi can you please keep doing downloadable pictures we lot don’t have money to buy these phones😂

[@arues4293]

You can force the iPhone to use Night mode and that’s what you should have for a fair comparison.

[@Garret141076]

I have a different opinion about video. I've had a lot of phones for testing and although I don't use an iPhone as a daily, the iPhone video has a certain look, maybe more depth, less digital and it seems more smooth. So in my opinion the iPhone has the best video although it's not the brightest or best color.

[@Howie_fish]

The phone that win is the phone that's in my pocket lol, maybe next month will be the s23 ultra if im bored 9f the pixel

[@gaellem6582]

a lot of time iphone make bad photo and got the max point ...

[@SimonStrother]

Why does everyone insist on testing the S23 Ultras 10X lens INSTEAD of it's 3X lens at night? 10X is not meant for night shots at all, and I take alot of shots with my 22 Ultras 3X lens at night, which it does tremendously better in. I didn't see a single mention of the 3X lens in this comparison, just 5X and 10X. Not thorough at all.

[@Loopforce1909]

I switched from the Huawei P30 Pro to the Pixel 8 Pro and I'm not so sure yet. At first glance, the photos aren't much better. If you then zoom in here, you can of course see that the P30 pro lacks details. Nevertheless, I find the Huawei's photos more pleasing without zooming in. Then there is the issue of software. The Pixel 8 pro has probably frozen 2-3 times. Strangely enough, most mornings after getting up, I suddenly couldn't close the alarm app (clock). Other apps can also be laggy and sometimes freeze for a few seconds. Quite strange. KZbin Music drains the battery like crazy... an hour of listening to music takes away 15-20% of the battery. The phone definitely gets very warm. Even today I could clearly feel it through the cover. On KZbin Music, change background images, while looking at pictures on “Photos”. Compared to my Huawei, which was always fluid, never crashed and always stayed cool, it was actually a disaster. I'm thinking about returning the phone... I'm not sure yet. Actually, the camera is one of the most important things to me... let's see.

For me, the Pixel 8 has the best all-round capabilities. I wish google would install real high-end hardware with a reasonable battery performance. The focal length of the main camera is also far too wide-angled, I would prefer 35mm or 28mm like Nubia.
