Hey Chaps! Big question... which phone won?? (Here's a link to my originial full-res photos: bit.ly/3oMChFN) PLEASE don’t respond to scam comment replies saying you’ve won a competition 😡 I'll also keep you updated if a S22 update arrives and improves the camera (and for those asking, yes I’m using the Exynos model) 👍

S22 definitely

[@Photo0021]

I'd pick the iPhone for video if it's what you'll mostly do, and you get the benefit of a longer battery life. The S22U does have great video though, and beats the iPhone in almost everything else, but even then, by barely (other than zoom).

The mic in the S22 Ultra is incredible. So clean sounding compared to the Iphone which you can hear a lot of wind and background noise from. I think the mic quality of the new samsung phone is what impresses me most in this video.

I wish the Samsung can catch up with the iPhone with video, that 13 pro max video is clean AF, maybe the galaxy s23 will catch up in the video department. I'm using the pixel 6 at the moment and the camera is pretty good for a 600 dollar phone but the bugs and weak modem in this phone ensure that I will probably not get another pixel phone.

What format were you using for photos? Personally, I would never let the phone decide on the final picture for me, hence shooting in RAW and developing in post. Regarding the exposure issue, that can be corrected by exposing for the hi lights, and pulling the shadows in post. A standard workflow for RAW dlsr captures. Vastly increase the visible dynamic range.

[@TechSpree1]

Honestly, video on the 13 pro max takes the cake here. Much more natural colours and better contours and depth, compared to the s22 ultra’s slightly overexposed shots. Although, the mic on the s22 ultra is leaps and bounds better

[@DeyMaLex]

S22 Ultra takes this one in the camera comparison. Hopefully software updates fix the video stability.

[@McDjMagicAndrey]

Why the stability is not right from the beginning and we have to wait for some update. This is not a good advertisement for Samsung. Everyone will remember that stabilization is bad for Samsung and better for the iPhone. Stabilization should have been good now so that Samsung can at least try to compete with the iPhone.

[@DeyMaLex]

@@McDjMagicAndrey I agree but the Iphone has been the king of video stability / video recording for the past couple of years. Samsung needs to make their own software to optimize the hardware to the fullest imo. I pre ordered my s22 ultra 512g snapdragon version and I can't wait for hands on. Peace!

[@BroshedSis]

[@killrblue]

S22 ultra is absolutely amazing.

[@saibajinzero]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Mdogbrown]

Software updates are definitely needed. I’m also curious about the difference between SD 8 gen 1 vs exynos on photo differences. The portrait video looked terrible on the s22 here. I’ve seen reviews where it looked better on Samsung (SD version). I owned the s21 ultra then switched to iPhone 13 and I MISS the s21 ultra camera. After updates I felt the s21 ultra was superior in everything except video. The versatility was amazing. However, I find my iPhone to be more consistent. Every once in a while the s21 did some weird stuff with coloring and blurry photos on moving subjects. It looks like Samsung fixed the blurry photo issue. I just wish the contrast and colors were right in the middle of these. The iPhone dynamic range on some photos and videos is 🔥

[@deonh9303]

Great video - thanks! All this is very subjective and like you said, definitely also influenced by the ecosystem. I've always been an iPhone guy and have always used it as it's usually the camera I have on hand. Having said that, I think the gap is narrowing every year and it's almost getting to the point where all these high-end devices should be on par as far as quality is concerned and the real difference would be the few things that might set one apart from the other.

We've reached the point where we go "They are good but just not good enough" vs few years ago where we'll say "amazing cameras improvements" We really need some sort of camera break through here, perhaps a new sensor technology to replace CMOS for better light capture on a smaller sensor and high megapixel count where digital zoom also can do an amazing job of getting closer without losing much details.

1. The microfiber cloth is for the SLR lenses with (3-7) multilayer interferential coating, on phones (where your greasy fingers very often stay close to the lenses) I found that glasses wet wipes are a must. 2. It would have been nice to also look at 108mpx mode (that one impressed me most on my S22U) and eventually super-steady shots which so far only seems to work up to FHD and not on 4K, but in fact that is the thing that we would want from Samsung on the next update ;)

This might just be the biggest camera difference btw two generations of a phone. I mean, the S22 Ultra's camera is significantly better than the S21U, especially the portrait mode. I think Samsung now inarguably has the best portrait mode among all smartphones

[@entahlahnak9404]

But still it look shaky when moving

[@mathmanchris666]

idk about portrait that might be a little bit too far... but the mic quality is so damn good. The S22 ultra mic sounds like a mic that is trying to isolate sound and focus more on your voice, while the iPhone 13 pro is like a wide spectrum, which is trying to pick up all of the sounds around you. Idk which one I prefer because while I like isolated mics while Im on a video call, if im showing someone a video of something cool in nature, I would ant them to hear all of the sound.

[@D1smantle]

@Uravcommenter somehow, I've been obsessed with portrait picture lately, so for me, it's kind of easy to see how well it improved. And you are totally right about the mic. While I like S22U's isolated mics, I still like 13's more open mic. But, for samsung, you can adjust how your mic works when you use pro video

Still quite early, Samsung phones receive huge camera updates in the first two months and throughout the first year of release. Hope they fix the stabilisation soon and add Expert Raw to S22U

[@Sakakaweaoz]

S22 ultra. I currently own the s21 ultra and my family loves the pictures that I take on my phone and they all use iPhones. The s22 ultra will be my second phone...

[@newginafets2009]

Same. My friends who use Iphone always ask the pics i took from my s21 Ultra

[@taylora8325]

Great comparison. I've been seeing alot of reviewers giving the crown to the iphone without really showing why. It's nice to see a decent comparison.

[@yeongkarsoon481]

at 0:34 do anyone notice the dynamic range transition 😱 on s22ultra? danggg.. the skies not even blown out

[@godofchaoskhorne5043]

Hey can you please answer this question? Does the S22 ultra come with a screen protector? My note 10+ came with one. Apparently the s20 and s22 series also came with one everywhere except in the US. I really really really appreciated the screen protector as it was perfect and flawlessly protected my note 10 screen for over 2 years. The oleophobic coating also never rubbed off. I don't get why the US isn't getting it. But I'm really hoping that we have the screen protector in Europe. It's impossible to find a screen protector that sticks on the edges, doesn't interfere with the finger print sensor and doesn't mess up screen quality. The samsung one is absolutely amazing. I used to never care about the screen protector but every phone I've had the oleophobic coating would run off which was 10x worse than even the worst scratches. I never knew how important a screen protector was before samsung shipped their phones with them. I really really hope we have them on the s22. Third party protectors never seem to work right.

Thanks for testing moving subjects! I can't believe nobody is doing that.. like not enough people in this world have pets and/or kids.

[@jacobrudd2398]

I have the 13 Pro Max right now, came from the S20 ultra, and I just miss the versatility with the cameras on Samsung devices, I'm considering switching back to Samsung.

[@Drahngis]

Great camera comparison. Would love to also see the difference in 3rd party apps for the s22 to see if they really fixed their camera issues there.

Samsung has always had the best microphone quality ❤️

Hmmm nope

I personally Take more pictures with my phone than I take video so I’m going with s22 ultra💪🏽🔥🔥

[@FlorinArjocu]

I think 99% of us make a lot more pics than videos, the storage would be full very fast otherwise. :)

[@FlubFlubber]

What program do you use to post videos like that?

[@DUDUFIDELIS]

estabilizador do galaxy na one ui 4.0 estava bugada, tinha que deixar desabilitado

[@sorincartas3485]

I don’t know how relevant is this camera test before official launch which is in 25 feb, as Samsung said till then they will release an massive software update mostly regarding camera’s.if compares s21 ultra with S22 ultra, s21 ultra looks much brighter on any scenario so definitely s22 will get an massive update on cameras

[@promagician6789]

S22 ultra was definitely better and the photos look very cinematic and dslr-like

[@FatNorthernBigot]

This is a great video comparison. Shame about KZbin's compression.

[@antoniol3377]

the samsung under test is the one with a snapdragon or exinos processor?

[@Desgeneratico]

The cameras are way better in the S22 Ultra. The details, colours, edge detection, contrast, etc. Even the daylight videos looked better. The only area where it was behind was the night video, which is not very relevant. Very impressed.

[@bst857]

The video stabilization is also behind the iphone, hopefully they can fix it in an update. I did prefer some shots on the iphone, like the castle, and the video with the ducks, I just thought the colours were nicer (although - maybe they weren't realistic). But overall this isn't such a big deal since you can tweak those kinds of things if you really want to. I also think the s22 has a little bit too much contrast and is a touch too sharp, but the iphone is a bit washed out and too soft... somewhere inbetween the two would be nice. But yeah overall s22 is pretty far ahead when all things considered.

[@TuanNguyen-zf1op]

Imagine if Samsung developed their own system software as the already have their own chip. This would be a serious game changer. They can maximize optimization. Rocket up al their phone battery life, performance.

[@asianstud7]

They really should they have a lot of the worlds market share to do so if they really wanted to .

[@franklingoodwin]

@@asianstud7 You have a very simplified way of seeing it. Samsung phones run Android so are always limited by what Android can do when it comes to camera software. They essentially have to optimise their own software on top of Androids own

[@Bmasta717]

@@franklingoodwin I think they're saying ditch Android and create their own Samsung OS

[@franklingoodwin]

@@Bmasta717 They already did, Tizen. It's not as good as Android and isn't on any of their phones or smartwatches

[@asianstud7]

@@franklingoodwin you're talking about something else entirely. I said Samsung has so much smartphone market share that it can be worth it for them to have their own OS instead on relying on Android. So that they can better optimize and own and develop the "whole stack" like Apple can with ios. Also, fun fact. Samsung could have bought Android before Google. Unfortunately, looking back , it was a tremendous mistake on Samsungs part to not have bought it. Look it up!

[@goodcitizen7064]

I think you are spot on with the details on both phones. I Ordered my S22 Note and can't wait to get it in hand!

[@ajshdhenskaka]

I've never heard a reviewer refer to the zoom capabilities as "stalkery". Bit of projection going on there?

[@imik_plays]

That stabilisation on the S22U in the first minute of the video is so bad. But hopefully will get fixed with the release update. I think a lot of things might get fixed later on, which is a good sign (for example the yellowish colors as well).

[@propersod2390]

It's surprising considering the s21 ultra had better stabilization than the iphone. And apparently the s22 series has 58% better ois. This is probably just due to the early software

[@carver9312]

It still stomped the mud out of the iPhone though, so it doesn't matter

[@saptarshisinha]

Samsung is officially back in the game again!

[@dafyddr8678]

Great video review.. though I am puzzeled why the links are for the American market for the samsung.

[@nightthemoon8481]

For video on androids there's now an app called Motioncam that enables shooting true RAW video, like actual CinemaDNG. I highly recommend giving it a try

[@melbournemeliodas215]

I'm kinda leaning on S22 Ultra here. The 13 pro max is dim when it comes to video taking, almost to the point where it has a filter on while the S22 Ultra seems so vibrant. I wonder if samsung is using something processing methods to have theirs so vibrant.

[@sholaspeaks6672]

For video, Apple has a fight but for everything else, The S22 Ultra kills. I just wish the Fold 4 would match the s22 Ultra in terms of camera and would also include a slotted S Pen and expandable memory. 4K display would be insane as well. Would be a day 1 for me no matter the cost

[@makasete30]

I mean, its clear it’s closer with almost all the factors but Samsung edges them just as Apple edges the video stabilisation.

[@jakub7244]

If only Apple fixed night videos on iphones and not cheap out on glass to have reflections all over the place.

[@alexsmith1207]

Fold 4 would of course match or be better than the S series considering it has its own unveiling in the fall

[@sholaspeaks6672]

@@alexsmith1207 fold 3 didn't match the s21 ultra camera module so it's possible Samsung doesn't put too much emphasis on the camera because it's a productivity phone not a camera phone
