Galaxy S24 Ultra Camera vs iPhone 15 Pro Max Low Light Comparison

Here is the low light night mode camera test for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs iPhone 15 Pro Max. The daytime video is separate because I wanted to get more in depth with the camera modes so watch that if you haven't already. The iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Galaxy S24 Ultra camera comparison will live on for a big portion of the year and I will follow up as soon as there are some software updates. Even after 3 weeks we haven't seen one from Samsung but as soon as it is out I will test it again. Which camera took it?

Team Samsung or Team iPhone on low light? Of course I saw some pointers off with export 🤦🏻‍♂️ Did you notice?

[@wedonttalkaboutbruno5670]

What about pixel 8 pro compared to these two?

[@MrBraulio00]

You take all the photos with minimal or maximium smart optimization?

[@Epicgamer_Mac]

I’d say team iPhone is more well-rounded and consistent. Surprisingly Samsung does seem to win at 5x when night mode doesn’t activate, but I still think iPhone looks better at 5x once it does activate. The main camera shots without night mode are clearly better in terms of detail on the iPhone, and while Night mode processing does help the Samsung, it seemed all over the map while the iPhone produced the cleaner, less noisy, yet more detailed and realistic photos at both 1x and 2x. My main takeaway though, is that Apple needs to tune their front camera. Still by far their weakest point. It does tend to make faces looks red which is really annoying, it could have been a draw but it was just too red.

[@SunguraGaming-ej2pp]

Samsung nailed it

[@ddemonology]

[@neilmcguinness4422]

They both have fantastic camera systems, but I was giving the S24 the majority of the wins picture for picture. Samsung deserves a lot of credit for it's improvements over the S23 Ultra photowise. I am looking forward to seeing what the 16 Pro Max brings to the table now.

[@dannywinget]

This I will do after the first major update. I have a feeling it will drop really soon.

[@GoDsSoN770]

@dannywinget Can you try to include some photos with scene optimizer turned on for the S24U (even though it's off by default), just to show the difference? Since some are claiming the S23U photos look a bit more vibrant in certain situations, it would be interesting to see if you can achieve the same look on the S24U by turning it on.

[@Faxthechannel]

@@dannywinget That's great news thank you! I hope it will be released soon as well

[@herr_L.]

​@dannywinget looking forward to your S23U vs S24U comparison ❤

[@furieux6742]

​@@dannywingetDanny, compare with one ui 6.1 in both devices.❤

[@Only_Habibi]

Hello Danny, please make sure to switch on "Upscale Zoom Quality" when selecting "High resolution options" in Camera assistant. Also, make sure quality is set to maximum in "Intelligent optimization" in Camera settings. One of the best camera comparisons I've seen yet!

[@andreaburatti9997]

Great work and finally an honest amd DETAILED comparaison. Thank you. We're waiting for new comparison after the s24 update

[@jeffreydouglas351]

Thank you Danny, great comparison!

[@cguralol]

I wasn't expecting the really good job on the 24mpx from Samsung. I didn't even knew it had the option. So glad that you did the comparison

[@amigosan]

amazing as always seperate section made only for non night mod photos (and furthermore with a lot of photos, thank you), night mod section with the comparison of the same photos without night mod, you pick up every pros and cons you can give us, extremly detailed, very beautiful photos and landscapes, and this is non exhaustive, your camera comparisons are the best by very very far, a pleasure to watch even if I am not looking to buy any of those phones at all, thank you

[@nobody....168]

It's amazing how clear are low light photos without night mode on... Absolutely fantastic shots...!

[@rsbabudbhcr2246]

Really love your reviews, I've seen many people being biased towards the iPhone and some towards the S24, this is the most honest review I've seen. (BTW that 24MP thing is really cool, if there was an option by default and some processing tuning, it can do wonders, it really has potential.

[@Heinzjonameisner]

I love your videos! Please make more of them. I LOVE THEM

[@user-eo1zw2yn8u]

You're really good at taking pictures. I enjoyed the wonderful review

[@dannywinget]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@AdamClauson]

Great comparison man! I was amazed at the big differences in 5x zoom nightmode shots. Between those and nightmode selfies, samsung looks leagues ahead and I can see myself using those 2 modes (and just the normal 5x zoom) often when taking photos at concerts in dark clubs with colorful lasers and whatnot and I would definitely be happier with the samsung results. Appreciate your in depth videos!

[@Stephen14.]

[@el_manu_el_]

The 5x portraits from the S24U look awesome 👏

[@arvind31459]

In camera assistant app you can adjust "picture softening" to Min, Medium and Max. Setting it to medium produces really good pictures.

[@pkoppula]

Thanks Danny. This video was very helpful as well as the others. I obviously learnt a few things from this video but rest of them are accurate descriptions of what I'm also seeing on my S24U. It takes great portraits. Night shots are great. But it can do with some tuning (hopefully Samsung does the updates soon) for the rest of the camera performance.

[@devanshnegi2275]

Awesome as always Danny. Thanks to your detailed reviews I purchased my Samsung 24Ultra and other gadgets.

Those 24MP pictures on the S24U have really a lot of potential! Hope samsung will ad it as a eegular festure ! Also looking forward to your intense S23U vs S24U comparison. Nobody does it better than you :)

[@Samirafinisaje.Oradea]

The comparisons you make are the most professional, very good presentation. When do you make one between s23 ultra s24 ultra?

[@dannywinget]

As soon as the first update hits I will do that first

[@TheChazas]

Would love to see Pixel 8 Pro comparison too, especially after latest update. Also how it compares with having Full Res mode on all lenses.

[@toderbv]

Danny is the best. Very detailed. Very comprehensive.

[@DESTRIAZ]

Your comparisons and zoneoftech comparisons are the best. It's crazy how you two get such good photos from the s24 ultra to compare to the iPhone and almost everyone else's comparison has some trash pics representing the s24 ultra. Like they almost purposely took horrible pics to use

[@RagingBad]

Because it's on purpose 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Alex1394]

Continue ❤ love your videos comparison

[@iam_joshua_bcxvii]

For the aggressive oversharpening on the samsung, you could configure it to be less via the camera assistant by selecting medium or high on the picture softening, i read that medium is the best and removes samsungs tendency to oversharpen photos

[@dq3391]

hi thanks for this will a new comparison be made after the updates? ty

[@phero6933]

Would be really cool if you could do a video comparing movement between the S24 Ultra, iPhone 15 Pro Max, Pixel 8 Pro, and OnePlus 12. From my experience Samsung has really bad motion capturing but it would be cool to see someone of your caliber testing that.

This was good Danny! Waiting for the video test now. While I wish Samsung would abandon the ridiculous 200mp sensor and go for 1" type from Sony, they did a great job with their processing. Really impressed with the iphone's output as well. Really can't lose either way.

[@arunavamalo]

Love your hardwork that you put in making this comparison. I own both phones but I'm more amazed by the camera quality of the ultra. If only Samsung fixed the grain issue/ mura effect on screen

[@plaidman67]

This is a great comparison video. I have the Samsung S24 and am pleased with it but I have to admit that in about 50% of these, I preferred the way the iPhone rendered the photos. I'd call it 50/50 based on my screen and my opinion of how the photos looked. I suppose it also could depend on camera settings as well. Sometimes, I'll take a photo and it looks ok, then I really mess around with the settings, take a photo of the same thing (Within seconds, so the scene and lighting remains the same) and the 2nd photo with manipulated settings looks incredible.

[@sahsachin8419]

[@saurav050206]

Nice review. I would love to see how does the 24 MP of s24 ultra performs against vivo x100 pro

[@jahalang0112]

S24U didn't have any update yet, and it's compared to phones that are months on the market. And it's still holding pretty well. Having mine for almost 3 weeks now, and cameras are good, but I don't see any big difference to the S22U I was using. I think cameras reached its peak and I don't expect big improvements. They will battle with numbers, as always, but in reality differences are so minor.

[@theuncanspan]

Beautiful family you got there Danny. Thanks for the review. I missed the pre-order purchase of the 24 Ultra so i'm either gonna wait for mid-year sale or just wait for the S25 Ultra. P.S. i'll be upgrading from my trusty steed LG V30

[@Xelo1250]

I don’t care about anything else but colors , iPhones has always been the best in term of color accuracy and I hate the over sharpening and contrast in all android devices and that’s my preference , when i look at my self in any iPhone camera even old ones , it always feels more true to life and beautiful with an aesthetic look and more true to life vibes , but android devices is so digital and feels fake and unrealistic and just ew most of the times

[@gigamoment]

I totally agree with you. If you have a compatible device you can shoot RAW photos and adjust the colors to your liking.

[@JohnAliakiozoglou]

This is a great effort and congratulations for that. But u try to put a lot of information in a video and u talk too fast. Thus I don't exactly see all those things u comment in a photo and try to go back and forth to see it all the time in every example. You do it for the duration of the video I understand but it's ok if it was larger in time. For that extended test it's ok Danny. Don't be afraid. Thanks anyway.

[@dannywinget]

Thanks for the feedback. I would make a 30 min video but if the average view duration is only 5-6 minutes it is a waste for me. I try to pace it where I can fit a lot of information in 15 minutes tops. This is why I separated the day and night time because to do both in 15-20 min is impossible.

Both phones have pros and cons . I prefer S24U though. Nightmode on iPhone makes the photos look fake and too bright. Nighttime photos should be darker because it's night! S24U wins in most scenarios. Congrats Danny for your great comparison video one more time 👍
