The RAW mode is something most of the reviewers skip, don't know why. You were absolutely spot on with that and also with the whole comparision. Great Video.

[@ZONEofTECH]

Thanks a ton!! 😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@buttistedsuidice3296]

Regular people don't use raw mode, and there's only so much information you can put in a video before people start getting bored

[@MaxusMV]

If you are an experienced RAW shooter on Samsung you should know (unlike the author of this video) that Samsung strangely enough has 2 different RAWs. The one in the “Expert RAW” mode is worse than the RAW in the ordinary Pro mode.

[@summayalhassan592]

agreed

[@sidersproductions941]

I still don’t understand why Google still to this day has not addressed the ridiculous over sharpening on the 2x portraits with human subjects. It’s terrible.

[@Jo5ue1]

I'm sorry Samsung but the camera is not onpaar with Pixel 8 Pro. couldn't find even one situation where Samsung makes better photos. Pixel color science and computational photography are unmatched. (I know it is subjective nevertheless)

[@dubclub26]

Exactly as I thought.

[@BLAKEEATS1988]

Lol samsung just destroyed the pixel it's very noisy and the video is a joke. 😁 🤣

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

I had 8 Pro. I just bought S24 Ultra, I love it been out taking pics for last two days, overall S24 Ultra is better, as there is no need to edit dark pics anymore. Indoor pics on both are not 100%, but future updates will improve this, I have no regrets I'm happy to say. 😊

Samsung didnot get any camera update.

3x zoom is actually hybrid zoom, not only digital cropp. Pixel uses 5x shot for the inner part of the 3x+ photos, and melds it with 2x crop in the outer frame.

s24 ultra is such a minor upgrade over s23 ultra while pixel 8 made major leaps over 7 pro. Pixel is miles ahead in my opinion

[@TheMagnitudo]

Colour is so important, if you miss it then you miss the meaning of photography. Unfortunately the S24 Ultra is out of the games because of it.

[@pixelgaming7261]

3:33 The max zoom on the Pixel is 30x, not 25x.

[@kai84m]

50 MP mode was already the sweetspot on the S23U. 200MP has been pretty bad so far. I guess it is a hardware limitation due to the relatively small HP2 sensor.

[@furieux6742]

Full agreed. Most situation 50mpx better night and daylight photo. And detsils than 200. On my s23u

[@riowinaryo18_86]

[@03chrisv]

S24 Ultra software came in a bit hot and rushed, there's going to be an update to its camera to fix some issues and performance in the relative near future. With that said the S24 Ultra, even its sub optimal state, is still holding its own.

[@junkiexl86]

Yea. Though I appreciate early reviews, from my experience with both Galaxy S's and Pixel phones, they get noticeably better after the first few updates, photo/video wise. I wish more of these content creators would do day 1 reviews as they do, but then a 3 month followup etc. I went on vacation a few weeks after I got the S21 Ultra when it came out. We liked the place we stayed at so much we revisted it the next year. The photos I took the 2nd visit were night and day better than the 1st visit. As if I took them from a different and newer phone all together. Similar expereicnes with the Pixel 2, 3 and 4 XL's when I had them.

@@AM-dn1iq what didn't you understand? The original commentator isn't happy with the S24 Ultra and regrets that he didn't chose the Pixel so your comment "because it's better" doesn't make any sense.

[@leon.m.s]

I'm disagreeing with some points. First of all, I think there are often HDR-Issues in the s24 which is really annoying. I think especially the exposure in harsh lighting conditions is way better the the Pixel. In Night shots I feel like the Samsung gets a higher dynamic range and there are less burned out areas. But on the other side there are often some parts that just get into one colour without any details especially while zooming. I think overall the Google hat besser Video, Night shots and the better ultra wide camera. But the front camera and portraits are so so bad, Google has to fix a lot!

[@mightypine]

Daniel, someone else may have already pointed this out, but at least in the US, the S24 Ultra starts at $1299 and not $1199.

[@luca5406]

Got the pixel 8 pro. Did not disappoint

[@reconteam91]

I just bought a Pixel 8 Pro after literally decades with Samsung and I was so very disappointed at how bland, soft and dark the pictures were. Then I realized I was used to Samsung's bright, highly sharp and perhaps overly vibrant pictures. Even in the comparisons in this video I would have picked the Samsung although you said the Pixel looks better. I think I need to get used to the more "natural" and true to life looking pictures of the Pixel and not the "artificial" ones of the Samsung.

[@Jay-tr3px]

Question. Does anyone have a clicking sound on their pixel 8 pro while you shake it left and right?? I did drop mine with the a case and the phone did look and function fine but when i took it out the case and shaked it left and right i could hear a bit of light clicking sound around where the camera is. I dont know if it always have that even before i dropped it with the case or its originally supposed to be like that? Thanks for the great review!😊

[@pranavdupati9164]

That's the ois, not to worry about

[@castof1906]

...Not actually a clicking sound, but definately sounds like something is rattling/moving inside🤔 Have dropped it half a meter a couple of times but uses a protective spigen case. Overall satisfied with the phone. It's not the fastest around and I wish the sound could be better/louder.

[@TomySTS]

I have pixel 7 and i always had that sound, it doesnt bother me.

[@esseker6320]

The galaxy is way overrated from a photographer’s point I’d go for the pixel any day.

[@azhyhama9649]

Man you seem very biased. All the shots on pixel were much cleaner and better. Admit it, Samsung screwd up. I'm a Samsung user, anyway.

Galaxy s24 ultra cameras are simply amazing pixels too I love how samsung fixed the night shots and their daytime shots both phones have extremely good processing power I choose samsung because samsung did a lot of hardwork to make their cameras amazing however I am not hating on the pixel but pixel needs to improve on their cameras hardware as not only samsung has 200 megapixel sensor but a lot of chinese manufacturers like xiaomi vivo or oppo have 200 megapixel sensor google needs to step up

Samsung is a good overall all rounder but pixel is champion at main camera photos but s24 u is better in most other modes like video , portraits, zoom, macro, stabilization and it’s just 100 dollars more expensive in my country so the price doesnt defend pixel anymore like it used to and also consider s24 u as pro raw and pro mode its just a better camera overall but pixel better in photos
