I think this is a great review. Covered many points that other YouTubers 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

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???

[everpersun]

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!

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.

Is picture softening also available for video mode?

[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?

[estebancerra]

So very happy I found your channel. Your content is *Absolutely Amazing*. I am a lifelong Samsung user and I feel your comparison was fair. Samsung has made great improvements but are not quite there in my opinion. Curious, was the video shot before the Samsung February camera updates? Again, A+++ content. You have the flair..

This is for sure one of the best comparissions between the s24 ultra and iphone 15 pro max

[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.

[SarhanHuseynov]

hi, what would you like to suggest me to buy iphone15 pro max or Samsung s24 ultra . My purpose is filming stable videos for YOUTUBE like ASMR and etc.

[olawalejohn]

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

[mbaskan]

this video deserves millions of views. most detailed and well explained video for audience. I'd prefer Samsung for photography in most case but for video apple is my choice. color on that fire is a huge drawback for iPhone but overall smoothness and consistency in most case is a clear win for iPhone. for most people iPhone is straight out of the box ready to shoot with any problem but you have to know what lens you are using for each scenario in Samsung side.
Unpopular opinion: video at 1:57 better at Samsung because of less washed out look but i admit that darkness is slightly above acceptable level. even though my choice is Samsung in that scenario.

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 😍😍😍

[esoghumedominic]

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.

[sampell]

The one thing i really like about taking photos with s24 ultra is that the pictures doesn't get oversharp and get that digital look.

It does more resemble a dslr or a mirrorless.

[janisspalvins]

Thanks for video.
Can you please advice - what is the best android camera smartphone?

[deepenwadhwa]

I'm a Samsung stan and am going to get the S24 Ultra but this video was spot on, very detailed and unbiased.

Just because I like Samsung better as an overall phone doesn't mean I have to delude myself into believing that its better in every single category. The cameras are great but iphone is, overall, better in that category and it's okay.

Don't get salty cuz of this small thing, lol. The video was very very good and unbiased imo.

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.

[billymckee]

Whats the best format to record in on the s24 ultra if i do want to color grade afterwords?
I wish it theh made samsung log :(
