Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra disappoints in early camera analysis compared to its flagship peers

[Redaktion]

The Galaxy S24 Ultra may have excellent camera hardware on paper. However, initial camera tests with Samsung's latest flagship reveal that it cannot hold a candle to recent efforts by Apple, Google Honor, Huawei and Vivo, despite containing improvements from last year's Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Who would've thought about that? /s

It's very sad that Samsung is super stagnant in terms of cameras.

Just slap GenAI over last year's main camera, the mid telephoto from the S22 Ultra (2022), the ultrawide from the S20 Ultra (2020!!!) and the long telephoto that is indeed good at 5x, but gets outperformed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max's long telephoto which isn't even a hi-res Quad-Bayer one that can do 2x lossless zoom, but leverages the Sensor Shift Stabilization to the max.

Good that they got a nice kick in the butt from Google and Oppo and they're revampint the Fold 6. Hope they get one for the S25U.

Quad Bayer is a gimmick, it's not "lossless 2x", your physical sensor pixels are 4 times smaller in area in 2x mode

Cool story and not sponsored by competition lol. I've seen like 4 studies disproving everything this to said. Iphone computes like everything leaving fake looking pictures to anyone that actually knows about photography. The difference between raw and jpeg in reality. So to the untrained eye who lives oversatuation because that's all they know, sure the iPhone wins. I'm not even sure the iPhone can shoot in raw. This is a clear case of don't believe everything you read. These people have ulterior motives most of the time.

This is written by Apple fanboys  S24 Ultra cameras scored much higher than iPhone 15 Pro Max in other reviews.

Well i have seen a lot of reviewers videos, and there s24ultra are doing way better than iphone 15 pro max.
Yes not everywhere not in all conditions, but colors, especially portraits are way way better and close to real in Samsung
