@iMrParker8 months ago It' s genius that these phones always release 6 months from each other so they can' t be truly compared. Each release is usually better than the competitor. 14907

@dragonitedreamer41677 months ago The iPhone 15 Pro Max has improved its camera features, including resolution, night mode, and portrait mode, as well as optical zoom and dynamic range.
Samsung and iPhone have different approaches to zoom, with each having its strengths and weaknesses.
Samsung's camera app offers more fun and experimental options compared to the iPhone, but the practical experience feels dated.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung have similar camera speed and audio quality.
Samsung and Apple smartphones have comparable portrait modes and improved cinematic and slow-mo features.
Samsung has an edge in slow-mo and macro photography, while Apple excels in video quality.
Samsung's video quality is affected by grain in low light
The iPhone's smart hdr feature captures complex lighting scenarios accurately.
Daytime photos are the most important category for most people and having more megapixels is a game-changer.
iPhone's high-res mode is the default option with no compromise
Got 15% off any orders
Hope it helps .. ...Expand 25

@travsformation18 months ago For this comparison to be fair, the s23u" s software should have been updated, the last couple of software updates have considerably improved photo you can tell the phone' s on an older software because in portrait & photo mode it doesn' t have a shortcut to 2x zoom, which is present on current software and takes a crop from the 200mpx sensor. ...Expand 609

@xj_overlander8 months ago I had the opportunity to use the s23u for a couple months as i swapped from the 12 pro max to the s23, and recently swapped back to the 14 pro max, and theyre both fantastic. But the iphone was better for me. If apple would allow some third party apps to have full control of the camera, notably proraw 48mp with full iso and shutter control; that would satisfy everything i need. ...Expand 83

@mastersili7 months ago Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
iPhone 15 Pro Max has significant camer a improvements: doubled photo resolution, improved night mode, upgraded optical zoom from 3x to 5x.
iPhone focuses on natural skin tones, but needs hardware upgrade for selfies. Samsung offers flattering selfies but lacks in video quality.
iPhone and Samsung's zoom capabilities differ. iPhone excels in video zoom, Samsung has moments of better photo zoom, but iPhone's wider aperture wins in low light.
Camera app experience: Samsung's app offers more features but feels clunky. iPhone app has better integration and an action button, but can be fiddly.
Audio quality: Both phones capture sound well, but Samsung reduces background noise, sacrificing some lower tones. iPhone captures natural richness but more background noise.
Portrait mode: iPhone offers 24 MP resolution in portraits, allowing better detail. iPhone also allows applying portrait mode after taking the photo, a feature lacking in Samsung.
Special features: Both phones offer cinematic mode, slow-mo, and macro mode. Samsung slightly wins in slow-mo, but both are equal in macro capabilities.
Video quality: iPhone excels in video HDR, detail, skin tones, and low-light performance. Samsung's video sometimes suffers from grain in low light.
Low light performance: iPhone's Smart HDR balances complex lighting scenarios well. iPhone's 24 MP mode captures more detail, especially in low light, giving it an edge.
Daytime photos: iPhone's 24 MP main camera offers more detail and clarity whenzoomed in, giving it an advantage in most daytime photography situations.
Overall winner: iPhone 15 Pro Max offers superior camera performance with significant improvements in various aspects, making it the better choice in this comparison.
