The sharpening on the Samsung is crazy. They should really dial down on the oversharpening.
honestly, I think it ruins the overall quality of the photo as soon as you look closer

Been using X14 for almost 2 months now. And I am impressed. The photos don't look like taken from a smartphone, so I prefer it.

11:49 In terms of HDR capabilities, Samsung clearly outperforms its competitors. The HDR technology employed by Samsung delivers exceptional visual quality.

If Xiaomi’s main len doesn’t fog up, it would be way worthy than Samsung.

Hope Samsung reduce oversharpening and 'structure' asap. Looks good for architecture but ruins selfies

Definitely Xiaomi, oversharpness and oversaturation on Samsung really bother me...

I noticed that the Samsung phones lose the impression of 3 dimensionality that is on the other. I don't really like the over digitized impressions of the samsungs and moreso the pixels. Xiaomi is not sold here.

In video portrait mode, Xiaomi's background blur cutout is better, dunno, I just noticed it.

This is so sad that samsung fans are starting to act like apple fans with other android brands.. the X14 was better than the s24 lol. No one would choose s24 photos if it was a blind test

Dewy on xiaomi 14 also here in Indonesia. The hdr is bad, blown out on direct sunlight. The notifications bug is still there, disable battery optimization, and lock the apps running in the background but still happens. This is a bug from 6 or 7 years ago. Whoever said they will fix the hdr blown out on camera, naahh, I've been using xiaomi flagship since mi 3, and yes, their software is garbage, there are no software differences between flagship or their $70 phone, smh

Does s24 have the april update? And generally what is the update situation on both phones? Excellent video btw, thank you.

[vmafarah]

7:53, samsung, noise cancellation is making scenen more smooth and lacks detail?

[smallgeorge]

Thank you very much for this honest comparison. Well done!

[smallgeorge]

May I have a question? Is there a reliable way, how to get from Galaxy S23 pictures without too much sharpening and saturation? Do RAW or 50 megapixel picture format help to get natural looking picture?

[sovietrasya]

can you record directly to an external ssd with the xioami 14?

[princebautista]

is that an exynos or snapd s24?
can you do a comparison between the 2?

[yashrajendrashah]

How did you get the portrait video mode in Xiaomi 14? I can't find it anywhere. Please help!

Is the samsung S24 you’re reviewing using Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Exynos?
