S23 Ultra Camera Test (Samsung Camera vs GCam)

Can you get better photos from the S23 Ultra? In this S23 Ultra camera test and comparison we look at a variety of pictures taken using the stock Samsung camera vs GCam. That's right! It's Google camera vs Stock camera in this Samsung S23 Ultra Camera Test!

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has a fantastic stock camera that ships with the device, but what about taking the Google Camera app (GCam) from Google's Pixel phones, and installing it on your S23 Ultra? Well, you CAN get better results in some situations! In this Galaxy S23 Ultra camera test you'll find out whether GCam is worth using for selfies, night shots, landscapes, and more.

Please keep in mind that Samsung Galaxy S23 users and Google camera developers have not had much time with this new series of phones for GCam development (at the time of recording), so even after testing out almost a dozen GCam ports, the Shamim port I used for this GCam camera comparison was still a little buggy.

I hope you've enjoyed this Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera test (Samsung Camera vs GCam )! It's fascinating what Google Camera can do with high end hardware (at least with enough light), and I hope this Samsung camera vs GCam comparison makes that very clear!

Always nice to have options, stock cam is preferable in most situations, but once you have figured out the behavior of the GCAM mod on your phone, it can help you take amazing shots in apt conditions. Thanks for the video!

That's the beauty of android, we can personalize basically everything on the smartphone.

GCam is very dependant on the configs. Give some time to the developers to try it and it will be better. I had an old GCam in my phone (Redmi Note 10S) with great results, now I installed the 8.8 and 8.7 but the pictures never get the colors spot on and missed some lenses. With the old version I can access all lenses. Just give it some time, the S23 line is too new.

I mean i totally respect the GCam and most of your picks were made base on your preferences because the GCam pictures are wayy to cool .. but I'm not saying you are wrong i like the cool tone on the GCam as well but i don't think it's better than the stock camera app on the galaxy

Gcam makes more sense if you have a Chinese phone(Oppo, Vivo etc) cause these phones take soft portraits and selfies.
It's doesn't make much difference in samsung phones cause stock cam already has good processing.

Wow, that’s the first time ever i see samsung camera app take realistic colors and not over saturated

The problem is not that there are better ports, The thing is that you have to put a good lib/config in the Port. Without that, gcam is just another camera application.There is no comparison between a well configured gcam and the Samsung stock camera... (always in photography, not video). The gcam is much superior both with jpgs and even with raws (dngs).

S23U is definately capable and will be tunned in 1 year time for sure.. Also every modder has their own preferences and mostly there a many gcam ports like spammed while only few really shines.
Then you have time try SGCAM 8.4 with Matteo's mod, now last is M23F (but this changes weekly), also newest GCAM ports are not tunned and not worth for now until they tune it (8.7 / 8.8). Maybe that would be worth to update this video after a while. Auxilary lens should work too (unless Samsung locks them again).

[parveztohin]

can you give me one information. face retouching in front camera working or not?

[TheRomRom]

the Gcam always look more blue than the stock one on those tests

[AyearoldARAB]

I cant get it to work, also why is gcam detected as malware no matter where i download it from? Regardless, it just crashes when i open it even using yours kn the same phone

[Devra]

Some gcams like lmc give option to change auto white balance models in setting which you should change to get accurate colours.. To avoid blue green tints

[Izzykun-kp]

Aku tidak tahu tapi vidio tersebut seperti membandingkan kamera Samsung dan dirimu sendiri

[mvvagner]

you probably don't have the auto white balance tweaked right in gcam. what's awesome about gcam apk is that you can tweak things like color, sharpness, noise reduction, and much much more.

Hello, greetings from Argentina, I installed the gcam for my s23 ultra but the spherical photos don't work, has anyone solved it?

[notizee]

What should I do if when I photograph a cat it is detailed and it turns out a good frame, but after processing everything is blurry, the fur is less detailed

[richardpatino]

The photo sphere didn't work on my S22 ultra

[jaiethylene]
