The Best Smartphone For Photographers in 2024

I'm very surprised you didn't include a Sony Xperia phone in your review, since you review Sony cameras so often. 😩😩😩

No sony X1 mkV? Wtf

Google Pixel 8 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are on the market since months already .. let's do the same comparison just before summer as to give Samsung the time to correct what's going wrong at launch time (as always with any brand on new product's launches) ... remind me what was the iPhone 15 iOS version at launch time, the same with Google / Android ? The S24 is not there yet, for sure but it will be.

i hope pixel could fix their video.

Samsung did not win a single category 😂😂

Ok I’m gonna buy the the pixel 8 pro as a secondary phone to my Iphone 15 pro mac😊

Not testing the beauty filters on Jordan was a missed opportunity.

I totally agree. I always use zoom for portraits with my pixel, because portrait mode is not consistent. Fortunately the edit function is oke on the pixel. Overall it takes great pictures.

I know that because of the limitations, Google's video boost feature probably wouldn't have quite been able to pull it out of 3rd, but it would've been nice to include it. Id definitely makes a big difference, especially at night.

Please make a Video about 3rd party Video Apps and their benefits and complications!

I click the portrait kinda thing on the pixel 7 pro via 5 x telephoto. The portrait is still trash on 8 pro along with hdr , tensor , which leads to very poor battery life.

Wide angle portrait shots with that much blur is sooo unrealistic my eyes hurt

I change my phone from note 10 lite to s23 ultra..i really didnt paid attention to the camera when i bought it bcoz i just want the s pen..then i go on company trip vacation last november in south korea n i take many photo n video using my s23 ultra..only then i realized how amazing my s23 ultra camera..taking so detail n beautiful photo n video..what i wanna say is..samsung did a really good job of putting good camera with amazing software so that noob like me can take photo n video like pro

At least on my S23 Ultra, you can go into the gear icon (settings) and select "Advanced Intelligence options" to reduce the amount of processing. It does tone down the vibrance.

I strongly believe that the S24 ultra will be better when it Samsung put in more updates

You forgot that: video sponsored by google

I would get the pixel pro if the battery life would be better.

Thanks for this comparison. I am surprised that the Pixel 8 Pro "won" this contest, since so many reviews, maybe even your own had a lot to criticize and I took away from many comparisons that the iPhone actually is the most refined of all three. Considering your (well deserved) pun against the overprocessing I wonder why the Sony 1 V didn't take part in your tests. I also found it interesting that you downrated the other two phones because they were not competing in the megapixel race in the UW lens. Is this really something that has an actual effect? I can somehow understand that telephoto lenses have higher density sensors so you can crop a bit more, although I do not know to what extent this actually is useful. Regarding 50 or even 200MP Sensors in tiny sensors like that I have the feeling that this only blows up the file sizes for no reason.

Anyway, as it seems the three phones are pretty much equal for photography use I think many people will just chose what gives the best package. At least I did. And I do not think an iphone use is suddenly switching to a pixel and vice versa :)

What's the downside of buying google pixel 8 in countries like Philippines??

Should you be showing photos taken from all three side by side in same situations?

Never knew you did fly fishing videos until today Chris 👍

Try Vivo x100 Pro...it can beat all the three phones

I agree with the scores. However the S24 ultra just seems like the overall better device for me, at least. I get all the android customization and AI ablities, plus a good camera, excellent battery life, and top of the line processor.

Pixel is the real deal. Great phone for photography.

I wasn't impressed with my Pixel 7 Pro but it looks like the 8 Pro is a huge improvement and yeah images look sharper than the iPhone. Still, my iPhone 15 Pro takes amazing pics. I would say it's the most Canon-like in terms of how it renders an image.

Idk why everyone is ignoring VIVO X100 PRO!!
THE PHOTOGRAPHY KING 👑
SCARED? LMAO

Why not the Sony Xperia 1 V ?

for anything else but photos, pixel phones are pretty shit.

Hello?! Vivo x100pro!

The cool thing about the Pixel is... any shortcomings it still has can be fixed in firmware/software. Such as the portrait made and the video stabilization.

No low light review? truly a miss on this one cuz googles low light has sucked last year

Great video!
What app did you say really unlocks some of the features in the camera for the iPhone?

Will buy pixel phone if they removed shitty Exynos rebranded Tensor chipset . They are charging 1200 dollars for pixel here in India .

The second reviewer for the video section is mistaken. The pixel does have 24 fps straight up easy to find and use in the settings.

You are comparing new phone even pre order still didnt end and have a half backed software
Vs pixel and iphone who has more than 3 major update to camera
2nd thing i dont know how you are comparing in main cam s24u has better noise handling ,better details better in everything
The pixel lack of details , sharpening so high alot of noise

there's not much of new footage here, are you guys really comparing it?

Just a question. Do you use 12mp or 50mp on the Pixel?

Honestly it doesn't make sense not to include Chinese phones. The Vivo x100 Pro is way beyond all 3 of these for stills. At least show people what they're missing. I love you guys but other channels are doing it better.

Love my pixel 8 pro. 💪🔥

I'd love to see a review of how these cameras hold up in Lightroom with their various raw formats and HDR modes. I am finding that the 12mp dng from the Pixel 8 pro is cleaner and has almost as much detail as the 48mp files. I think Samsung is using a similar newer version of the sensor in the Pixel.

I don’t watch phone videos, maybe one every 18 months, but that one was a good timing in the phone/photo world. And well done. Thanks!

you guys went way out on a limb here, everyone else gives the Apple the win. :)

My suggestion :Buy all of them😂
