[@TheCat0327]

Very comprehensive! Great job!

[@jeshernandez6912]

Was this after the new update?

[@anoopmohanan3944]

I think this is a great review. Covered many points that other KZbinrs missed. But the most valuable advantages of iPhone from your list are the exposure changes, low light video noise, external SSD support for prores and Apple proraw. Anything regarding color can be adjusted in white balance or in post. Also there are android video apps with Log support. S24 U has even advantages of using native expert raw to get creative tools like astrophotography, ND filters and much more. Plus the AI features, S Pen, also give much added dimensions and edge to S24. They still need to update many video specs

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you! Great points as well

[@everpersun1706]

wow, I am very impressed with this video. It is a fact that this creator should be more recognized and for this comparison, I loved how Samsung took a big step in terms of video quality and I am sure that we still need to see an update that will improve it even more!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you! :)

[@arturl4019]

I couldn't help getting the impression that you definitely lean towards favouring the iPhone over the Samsung. I get that it has a lot to do with the personal preference, so I'll just leave it there.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Which pieces of the sample footage do you disagree with? I totally understand claiming bias but everyone who has done that in the comments has failed to outline one area where they can support their claim of bias with actual evidence from the footage. I REALLY wanted samsung to win as it would have made for a more controversial result that would have positively impacted our video

[@arturl4019]

@@MrPaulXavier I'm not sure if you got my point. It's not about which (and how many) sample footage I disagree or agree with, it's about the pattern I see in your evaluation and preferences. There is nothing for me to prove, or prove me right, nor prove you wrong, because it's very subjective. If your preference is for more colour saturated and warmer tone photos there's nothing to argue about. Me too, I prefer some shots that way too. It's just I noticed you (almost always) lean towards iPhone pics even though they don't look very natural or "objectively" better. But of course, you have your right for your personal preference. And I don't think it's about which phone "wins" and which "loses", it's about giving a fair and balanced review and insight to what's there.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Interesting. If these were all blind cameras comparisons I feel I still would have made the same exact decisions. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess so if you feel I’m biased I’m likely not going to convince you otherwise. Although I will say I think I would understand you more if you could clearly point to one sample comparison and say “I disagree with you there”

[@arturl4019]

@@MrPaulXavier Ok, you asked for it, there you have it. Here are my comments: 1) ULTRAWIDE CAMERA. Whereas I agree a wider field of view is better for landscape/architecture shooting, it's not necessarily the case for "selfie" shooting. I appreciate you prefer "more breathing room for your face", but to me the distance to the face seems too big, and it gives the impression of your arm being like 6 feet long which looks somewhat unnatural when holding the phone in your hand. Still, it's a personal preference, and it depends on the perspective and usage too. 2) COLOUR SCIENCE FOR ULTRAWIDE CAMERA. I actually liked your sense of humour when describing the colour of the snow on the sample from the Samsung camera. However, you did not make that kind of joke about the iPhone when the colour shift phenomenon was reversed between the 2 phones when switching to the 5x zoom lens. I'm just wondering why ;) 3) IMAGE BRIGHTNESS/EXPOSURE. It’s true the images from the Samsung's ultrawide lens are kind of underexposed, but on the other hand, the iPhone tends to overexpose the scene and the highlights tend to be blown out, for example the "umbrella" light in the living room. You don't seem to say much about that. Also, I noticed the exposure shift on the Samsung ultrawide lens actually improved the outside shooting in the snow because your silhouette and your face were much brighter and clearer on Samsung than they were on the iPhone shooting. I think that's something to appreciate. 4) IMAGE SHARPNESS IN THE FOREGROUND. You stated (and zoomed in on the concrete to demonstrate) that the iPhone showed the details "much more clearly " than the shooting from Samsung did. I stopped the video, zoomed in, tried pixel peeping, but still couldn't see any significant difference in the details. Maybe it's just me, but I found it insignificantly subtle. 5) SAMSUNG 3X LENS PERFORMANCE. You literally dismissed (slayed?) the Samsung 3x zoom lens by saying it "sucks". I really can't get why because to me it's just the opposite of what you said (and actually showed). I saw a much clearer, sharper, and brighter image than it was on the iPhone shooting, so I was quite amazed by why you would ever prefer the iPhone quite blurred and dim image over the one from Samsungs 3x lens. The buildings in the background were also very clear and showed a lot of details. So, I'm not sure what was really wrong there. Again, maybe it’s just me, or I'm not seeing what you're seeing. And you just showed one single sample shooting, so there was not really much to compare or to rely on as far as the 3x zoom lens performance is concerned. I'm sure you could have done better than that. 6) 5X SAMSUNG LENS UNDEREXPOSING IMAGES. I don't quite agree the Samsung 5x zoom lens underexposes images. I'd say it's rather the iPhone which tends to overexpose images in general, therfore it gives the impression for the Samsung shooting to be underexposed when comparing the two phones. 7) CINEMATIC/PORTRAIT MODE. Honestly, I think this kind of sucks on BOTH the Samsung AND the iPhone. You actually praised the iPhone for this feature, but maybe you should take a closer look at your hair and ears on the iPhone shooting to see how terribly the cut out algorithm works, intermittently blurring and blending your hair and ears into the background. I guess you probably only focused on the Samsung shooting when comparing the two, and didn't pay attention, but seriously, it's quite jerky and terrible on both phones. Honestly, I'd avoid using the cinematic/portrait mode on both phones because it just looks very artificial and unpolished, and I mean on BOTH phones. Again, a personal preference. Oh, and the post-shooting "epic" background blur you praised (so much) on the iPhone. Again, it looked pretty terrible to me too. If you don't believe me, I invite you to stop the video on 10:53 and see how awful it looks on your own sample. Nothing to brag about really. Or maybe again I'm not seeing what you're seeing. 8) ANTICIPATED BLURRING ON THE IPHONE. I so disagree with you here as far as the iPhone performance is concerned. I think it’s actually the Samsung which gets it right, I mean blurring the background AFTER you walk into frame. It looks to me so unnatural to blur an empty scene just before a person/object appears in the frame that I can't even imagine how you can prefer that. Just imagine you looking at the woods yourself, and suddenly something/someone appears in front of you. You'd focus on that something/someone AFTER they appear in front of you, and not before, right? But ok, maybe we just see things differently, or you just want/try to justify the way the iPhone does this. You'll probably know. 9) LOW LIGHT/ NIGHT SHOOTING. You claim there's much more noise on the Samsung shooting in low light conditions. I tried pixel peeping, zoomed in, looked closely, and I couldn't see that much level of noise on the Samsung shooting. The images looked fine to me, but maybe it’s more obvious on a larger display (I'm using a 10.5 inch UHD tablet). 10) VIDEO STABILIZATION. I didn't see any noticeable difference between the video stabilization quality between the two phones. You claimed the iPhone stabilisation is 5-10% better than the the one on the Samsung. If you really measured that I can only take your word for it. Again, there's no much difference to me really. 11) STUDIO LIGHTING. I definitely noticed you prefer colour saturated images, and I can'tblame you. I know it's more eye pleasing and appealing on social media. The only thing that surprised me was you saying the iPhone gives "more accurate and less yellow colour" images which was so totally NOT what I saw on your samples. What I saw were intensely saturated images, and you kind of looked as if wearing tons of peachy coloured makeup on your face. But again, maybe it’s just me, or maybe it's actually my tablet which is distorting your reality? Not sure ;) Also, I didn't quite get what the Apple log feature was about, because all I saw were pretty awful yellow coloured looking images. But maybe it requires more in-depth explanation. I hope my comments are helpful, otherwise, I appreciate the amount of work and time you spent on making this video :)

This is one of the best indept reviews so far, bravo man

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thanks!

[@MP1966ABC]

The cameras comparison is not all what a smart pho e should be take for granted, I have 5 more other phones and the iPhone is not my best choice because of the e-sim only choice, we should pay for a phone besides the best camera and video recording, I can not switch between phones if the e-sim card is the ONLY choice when I'm paying lots of money for it.

[@The.JZA.]

I read something once that said the iPhone actually shoots 120FPS 4K but it's HDR so it takes a high exposure shot and low exposure and merges them to make the 60 FPS footage. Is Samsung taking 120FPS 4K in HDR (aka 4K 240fps) or just SDR?

[@barbaraunderwood9361]

Aloha I would like to know which phone gets the color of sunset correctly?? I see so often the shades of red moving up thru the sun as it sets, but my camera now doesn't get it? I want my new phone to get it. I have an older Samsung now and wanting to upgrade. Thanks

[@billymckee9438]

[@soyalexlasheras]

Awesome video again! Tysm!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@luabella_]

Great comparison. End of day, shooting video indoors and getting the best sharpness regardless of the phone is the most important aspect. How to minimize noise and grain is crucial for filming with a phone. Where to position light to allow for the sensor to pick up the best video.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Agreed!

[@Pouncer_Fox]

Great comparison. It's been helpful to me, thank you.

[@MrPaulXavier]

[@jonahkaiguam]

Apple Log vs 8k instead of Apple Log vs HDR10+ on the Samsung which is a flat color profile?

[@MrPaulXavier]

It's hard to compare HDR to non-HDR footage. In order to accurately do it you'd need to convert the color space of the HDR footage. Otherwise they wouldn't naturally sit on the same timeline together. That being said I found I preferred the non-HDR video from the s24 over the HDR

[@anonanon7368]

@@MrPaulXaviercan't you just convert the HDR clip and compare? And also, is the flat color profile from HDR10+ comparable to AppleLOG is the big question (video content idea).

[@anonanon7368]

How does HDR10+ flat profile compare to Apple Log?

Great video plus can you do a comparison bw pixel and iphones in videos bcs i heard the pixel 8 pro video jas tremendously improved also can h include the pixels video boost feature as well. Its high time samsung goes to a lower 50mp 1inch imx 989 sensor or an equivalent samsungs own iso cell sensor. Bcs 200 mp is just too much poxels to peocess or samsung will loose and will bever catch up to apple. Plus xiamo introduced log so samsung should also include it in their next phone Plus i dont know tbis pls can u check this i think even Samsung can connct to SSD please can u re verify this once

[@mohamadnoorrizal1312]

I think that's how the default look or color of an iPhone. You can always user the log mode to correct the color but it requires additional steps.

[@AttyDamian]

Did you use the 120fps UHD in Pro Video?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes I did!

[@user-qo2ct7ux5t]

S24 Ultra is the King ❤ Photography is my main passion. I was an Apple lover during 8 years. I switch this year to Samsung and I don’t regret. It’s the better decision I've never made 😍😍😍

[@MrPaulXavier]

I haven’t done a full comparison for photo yet but I do think the s24 is the slightly better option for photo

[@ns5186]

Same here was an iPhone user just for camera for years until the samsung s20 and never gone back now have the S24ultra shits on iphone .

[@mriatravel]

Did you try Vivo x100?

[@iamearthbeing]

: Would you recommend s24 ultra, as the best camera mobile phone, on android? Considering overalls like macro, simple portraits, astro, vediography etc etc.... I wanna buy a mobile phone, just for the camera....

[@mriatravel]

It's a good decision. About a month ago I bought iPhone, because Samsung ultra is too large, and smaller phones don't have photo features like ultra. But after one week I returned it and bought s24 ultra. Not because of camera (iPhone camera actually is very good), but iOS is just terrible.

[@03chrisv]

I downloaded MCPro24fps for my S24 Ultra, it completely blows away the native camera app for videos. Granted it records in Log so you have to color grade (not hard), but you can record at 10 bit open gate at up to 500mbps with post processing turned off. The end results look like you used a dedicated MFT/APS-C camera, especially if you use third party lenses too. The S24 Ultra has a very capable camera setup from a hardware perspective, it's just stifled by the software, its too overly processed with sharpening, denoising, and automatic gamma adjustments. If only Samsung gave us 10 bit log with high bitrates and the ability to turn off post processing in the native camera app. It would be glorious. For now third party apps like MCPro24 or Motioncam will allow you to get the most out of the phone.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Will have to test out that app!

[@JunaidAkhlaq]

I really liked this comparison and it's actually exactly what I was looking for since I am trying to choose between the two phones to buy. But one thing you missed and I think it would absolutely flip the end results since they are 14-13, is that in the selfie cams, the iPhone did manage the face better, but look at what it did to your neck. It looks like your head has been put on someone else's neck while the Samsung maintained the colours throughout. I would give that point to the S24 ultra tbh, making it 13-14.

[@shivanshsharma4916]

21:00 you can turn off digital sharpness in android phones with filmic pro and mcpro apps , and make them look soft cinematic

[@MrPaulXavier]

Definitely true. I was trying to stick more to the native apps in this comparison. Otherwise I would have used the blackmagic camera app on the iPhone which also would have taken a point away from Samsung

[@shivanshsharma4916]

@@MrPaulXavier agree 👍

[@ns5186]

Samsung is way better in alot of ways you can clearly see you favour iphone with your watch lol anyway not a bad review .

[@MrPaulXavier]

I’ve owned both phone systems for years. I was hoping Samsung would win to make for a more controversial ending.

[@jasonstormoen]

I agree with you. My mom uses an iPhone, and I use only Samsung and my s24 Ultra looks better than her iPhone 15 max, and she even admits it. It is funny these people and their reviews. Iwoke phone. It is amazing how his review makes the Pic better but when I do a true side by side with my mom's things end up different.

[@MichaelSchmittEleven]

Sure, both are really good. But for me personally, it's safe to say that the S24U is now the better camera system for video shooting, especially if you do post processing. Thx a lot for the in depth comparison! 😃 And I'm sure you know, but Filmic for Android and Mcpro24fps transforms the S24U's camera to another level, providing LOG and much more.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yeah they do unlock it in those apps but it’s not truly pro res log which means it won’t be anywhere as easy to grade as apple log

[@03chrisv]

​@MrPaulXavier it is so easy to grade Log from MCPro24fps. It can literally be done in under 1 minute when imported in DaVinci Resolve. I couldn't believe how easy it was when I first tried it.

[@michaelwojtasik9531]

[@branzap]

Please remake the video after the big update on Samsung

[@ChevaughnBeckford]

I currently use the iPhone 15 Pro Max but some of the points you awarded to the iPhone don't make any sense. Like when you said you don't like the fact that the S24 Ultra blurs out the foreground but the iPhone sharpens everything, that's not good lad, if you use a DSLR or Mirrorless camera with a wide aperture, the foreground WILL be blurred so I'm confused on what basis you're critiquing. Also, if the 3X is for photography, why use a video comparison then? Why not just take some pics with it and some pics with the iPhone in digital zoom and compare???

I can agree with most you said but the iPhone has one really big problem in my opinion and it's Color or whitebalance. Sometimes faces are too red or orange. And at low light the colors are completely off. Other than that the iphone has excellent video. I also think 99% of people never use LOG or ProRes. So in my opinion a gimmick.

I still prefer Iphone when it comes to overall smoothness when it comes to images and videos. But this review highlights the Galaxy S24 ultra strength very fairly and in honest way imho.

When they do the test, they forget that you can change the camera settings. They have different color models that you can use to fit what you are trying to do.

That is kind of a never ending rabbit hole though. The idea is comparing things as if we were a typical user. Otherwise I would’ve filmed everything in log on the iPhone

[@dustinfox9340]

When you're comparing cameras between the two devices, I think it's far more important to look at the "point and shoot" results from the phones. It's easy to go into settings and tweak everything, but for a review, looking at what each phone does automatically when you turn them on is more important.

I have a question regarding the S24 Ultra. I was planning on using video extensively on my next phone and I was curious: Does the S24 Ultra experience any sort of micro jitters or vibrations when recording video? I'm planning on doing panned slow motion videos for real estate and I wanted to make sure the S24 Ultra would be up to the task. So at the moment, I'm deciding between the S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Great comparison for the devices by the way!

[@MrPaulXavier]

The 15 pro max has better stabilization overall. Although both are great

I'm with team samsung,after leaving apple a few years back,your test was a good, honest test,i still believe though the 8k footage looked clearer and sharper on the samsung than Apple PRORES LOG.BUT GREAT GREAT TEST,AND IF YOU THINK APPLE IS BETTER IN PRO RES LOG I BELIEVE YOU,,, FAIR TEST 👍 👍👍

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you for the review!

[@leTacosrGood]

For me, it has been a toss-up. I have the s24 ultra and the base iPhone 15. In some instances, the iPhone has been superior and, at other times, smasnung. This is my first time with any kind of apple product, and I love it. All in all, though, I'd prefer smasnung for video and some pictures, while Apple I'd prefer some videos and most pictures (unless I need to get close, then it's smasnung). Also, side note... the iPhone 15 speakers are way better than the s24 ultra speakers.

[@MrPaulXavier]

They’re definitely both great

[@esoghumedominic13]

This is very biased video. Sounds like you only praising what apple has. Log is only for 1% users , and should be compared to pro video as you edit it . Samsung has been hammered for having saturated videos and pictures and iPhone praised for natural look . Now iPhone is praised for saturated pictures and Samsung hammered for natural look. . I feel bad for Samsung for listening.

[@MrPaulXavier]

I only go off of the sample footage that we captured. Looking at the clips do you disagree? So many Samsung users get upset in the comments even though 45% of the points were awarded to Samsung.

[@hamyplays]

Cry 😂😂

[@esoghumedominic13]

@MrPaulXavier disagreed with a lot as many other videos shows different results. I don't care about any of the phone brands. Just wanna choose between s24 ultra and 15 pro max. My laptop is hp . I don't use iPad or smart watches so ecosystem has nothing to play here. But I want features point out from both phone to decide which one is better for my life style. That's comparison. Not saying things one phone can do better without pointing the other phone feature makes it look like 1 phone is not even flagship and not worth comparing

[@esoghumedominic13]

@hamyplays cry for what . I'm using note 20 ultra and wanna make sure I buy next phone that worth the money. I don't have share on either apple or Samsung. I'm not like you that fight for phone brand for ego . I want my money well spent . And I ended up purchasing s24 ultra , cos I tried my friends iPhone 15 pro max and dosent have as much useful features as in my note 20 ultra . Basic- dual recording, split screen, edge panel , so on. Apple invest in developers which makes some apps have more features on ios than android but is not big gap compared to the features the ios is missing compared to android. And after watching full in-depth reviews of ai in s24 ultra it makes me wanna try it and will receive my phone in 3 days and already believe its best buy from other videos I watched.

[@MrPaulXavier]

I struggle to see how you can say I only favored Apple. I pointed out areas I preferred Samsung over Apple 13 different times in this video. It seems like only Samsung fans are getting upset even though it was an extremely close comparison.

One silly point to the iphone is log because s24's 8k footage looks so much better another unnecessary one whole point which isn't directly relevant to the camera comparison is external storage. So S24 if it isn't the king at least they are equal. (According to your comparison)(And appropriate your effort and did like the video so no hard feelings 😅)

[@MrPaulXavier]

Ahh man I really have to disagree with you on this. That one shot comparison we did between the log and 8k does no justice to the amount of color grading you can do to the 8k footage. When you think about real professional content, a huge aspect of it comes down to the ability to control the footage after it's already been shot and the log footage absolutely blows away the 8k it's truly not a comparison. I totally hear you the SSD recording may not be about the camera but that alone would drive me to buy the iphone assuming they had perfectly equal cameras so I think it's still 100% worth noting. Imagine if one phone froze and crashed all the time impacting your ability to take videos... not technically about the camera but you'd still want to factor that into your equation right?

[@MohammedAlLami]

@@MrPaulXavier Well about the 8k and log, I would still call it a draw since more details found in 8k and it counts ( can't be ignored.) And you yourself believe that the external storage have no effect on the video footage right? Still you are a professional I have no doudt. Thanks again.

[@Carlduran]

Sometimes iphone dont have natural photo but natural photo and video is 90% the 10 percent is the not natural not like samsung 50/50

[@ShanHe-pf7ct]

I disagree with apple is more affordable, the price of iphone 15 pro max is 100 cheaper than samsung s24 ultra. But samsung always has all kinds of promotions, like if you pre-order, you can double the storage for free. Or it is currently 300 off for s24 series with a free galaxy buds pro as gift which makes S24 ultra better value than iphone. Iphone will remain the same price until the next gen release.

[@MrPaulXavier]

This is why I didn’t award a point for that

[@HadiFab]

That SSD part shouldn't be there you can do it on Samsung as well

[@Ronin-fr1wm]

[@mbaprecious3332]

Your preferences screams isheep 😱 The S24U could literally change the kind of blur effects in portrait video, but you seem to miss that out cos you busy yapping about apple

[@MrPaulXavier]

You can’t change it after the fact like you can with Apple. You can only adjust it prior to hitting record which is a massive difference. Did you hear me mention all of the things the Samsung does better? Like slow motion, low light colors, etc. or do you just focus on the Apple positives?

This guy isn't making comparison video rather he is here to say iPhone is better than Samsung nothing else than that...hey people are you going to make movie from your phone??? To be honest, i use to be a iPhone fan boy but comparing with Samsung's ultra phones every year iPhone looks like a very very limited boring phone i must say, iPhone doesn't have multitasking, the camera features in iPhone is limited, no zooming capabilities like Samsung, Samsung S24 ultra can record 4k 120 fps, it can record in 8k 60 fps which iPhone lacks, and omg iPhone that black patch hanging at the top all the time, very low charging speed, still with the same fucking face id till 2024, no under display finger print scanner, no highly customisable like Samsung, no S- pen feature which is often very handy atleast Samsung is giving that feature, you can do many things from S-pen, iphone just entered into the era of USB TYPE C 😂😂😂😂😂 iPhone users have to pay for the apps!! i feel like iPhone users are like slaves of Apple 🍏😂😂😂😂😂 etc etc etc....

The vast majority of the public agreed with me. That was the purpose of the blind camera quality test. You can side with Samsung all day long my friend no one is going to yell at you for it, but when it comes to objective opinions the iPhone has won for video in every blind camera test we’ve done.

[@lets_go_see_]

Old school guy here: the operative word here is (phone)! If i want video, i will buy a video machine and definitely much cheaper than a cell phone. If i want a phone, i will buy a phone and you don't need to spend a fortune. If i want a calculator, i buy a calculator and camera for photos and computer for computing because lose or damage your expensive phone and everything else is also out the window!!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Haha I appreciate the perspective. I think for a lot of people the phone is such an incredibly good camera that it makes sense to care about how good the camera is in your phone. Not to mention its always in your pocket versus the camera that can easily get left at home.
