Galaxy S23 Ultra vs iPhone 14 Pro vs Pixel 7 Pro: Camera Test Comparison!

A detailed camera comparison test of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra vs iPhone 14 Pro vs Google Pixel 7 Pro! Let's compare photo and video, low-light night shots, audio, Action mode stabilization, Cinematic Portrait video mode, slow-motion, and more. (Pixel 7 Pro was a gift from Google, but this video is not sponsored and Google had no preview or input on my review, and I purchased the other phones myself.)

This is by far the best Camera comparison between these 3 beasts on KZbin. Keep up with contents like these!

[@akhileshbhosale3218]

Such a great video! Keep up the good work!!

[@williammaverick]

S23U's 3x, 10x and digital zooms on video completely annihilate the competition. Plus, it finally caught up with iPhone's night videos. The 8K video being almost as good as the 4K one is just the cherry on top.

[@11uriben]

The 23 cost double then the pixel and he is far away from being double good , I like much much more the Pixel...

[@williammaverick]

@Wayz I was watching Danny Widget's video test and the weird thing for me too is the 8K video looked better for me than the 4K one even when my monitor is just at 4K resolution.

Coming from a Pixel 7 Pro, having a S23 Ultra, I still prefer the main camera image processing on the Pixel. I find it more pleasing and superior. To me, the Samsung "vividness" just look too yellow, not vibrant. Just yellow. I much prefer how Google isn't afraid of letting darks being darks whilst also keeping the detail in them, and how the tone is more natural looking, even if obviously processed. But still, the S23 Ultra is much an improvement over the S22 Ultra IMO, a phone which I sent back after less than two weeks.

[@kfx3907]

Did you turned off the scene optimizer?

[@dzonib9595]

After few updates, S23 ultra just demolish pixel 7 pro, but lets be honest, much more complete camera setup on Ultra then any others phone on the planet, you can prefer some pictures more on another phone in some situation, but over if we looks, S23ultra is better in 7 from 10 situation then any other phone on the market!!

Pixel kills the other with low light/night photography. The star shots are much better on the Pixel, even if they take 4 minutes.Daytime, S23 has best detail/definition, but tends to overexpose and wash out colours (strange to see that on a Samsung!).

[@zhiyako4032]

All 3 have improved so much that I don't think either one of them is "the king." They're all amazing, and it will finally come down to personal preference and what you intend to get the phone for and how much you're willing to pay.

[@FARSIDE0_0]

The reason why the Pixel 7 pro takes too long to capture in astrophotography mode is not phone. But the default camera app itself.

[@levipb1403]

It's necessary that Samsung fixes the preview when you're about to take a pic like in the example you showed. Most users if not all would dismiss taking a pic believing is gonna turn out like in the preview (completely blown out). They should copy the pixel

[@Jemmartin]

Judging against an Sony A7C and Fujifilm GFX 50s…I’d choose the iPhone 14 as the back up camera. Zoom is overrated with phones e.g. the Samsungs wide lens delivers much better than the zoom. Likewise the iPhone 1x is much better than 3x. When it comes to the most usable standard images. iPhones takes it.

[@weekendwarrior8179]

The s23 had the magic eraser first. And honestly, its a lot easier to use the s pen

[@saptarshisinha]

Typing this on my S23 Ultra 😍 By the way, how did you activate 200MP RAW? BE it the native camera app or ExpertRAW, S23Ultra can only do 12 MP and 50 MP RAW, there's no option for 200MP RAW. 📸
