IPHONE 14 PRO MAX The iphone 14 pro has promised the biggest camera upgrade ever on an iphone a more sophisticated flash a more advanced gonna see.

If these upgrades are enoughto beat samsung’s galaxy s22 ultra and make this the best smartphone camera in existence okay so let’s start with front-facing cameras because apple has improved theirs this time around by opening up the aperture compared to the last iphone 13s the new ones can let ina significant amount more light technically speaking.

IPhone 14 Pro Max samsung’s front camera is still a better front camera and you can kind of tell by how much natural separation there is between fore ground and background but apple makes up for it with how they’re able top rocess the video that they do get they can do a lot with a little which i could actually learn from you’ll find that the iphone takes cleaner footage in bright lighting it takes cleaner footage in darker environments not to mention.

how if i try to record with both front cameras within a third-party app like instagram this is what it looks like on the iphone this it looks like on samsung apple just has better integration with these apps the samsung bridges the gap when it comes to selfie photos when you’re taking a photo it doesn’t need to be.

It and the truth of it is iquite like samsung’s processing the way it subtly smooths my skin without reducing the clarity in my beard how it feels like a more three-dimensional slightly higher quality image with the less heavy-handed iPhone 14 Pro Max use of sharpening that said it’s not enough to win the category given the a it’s more of a stylisticp reference that b the iphone can now completely separate you from your background by just holding on screen.

That alone can literally half the iPhone 14 Pro Max time it takes me to make a youtube thumbnail and see the photonic engine which is a new bit of tech that apple’s just.

iPhone 14 Pro Max lower light selfies there’s a real cleanness to the iphone’s image which leads us to about a draw in this category now just before.

we get to the technicals of the fancy main rear cameras on these iPhone 14 Pro Max phones one of the not very often mentioned but very important factors for me is which iPhone 14 Pro Max one is more fun to use and as much iPhone 14 Pro Max as i think that apple is heading in the right direction with this they’ve added a fairs prinkling.

once remaster that can upscale your low resolution photos like magic or object and reflection eraser that can clean your photos upafter you’ve taken them not to mention the fact that you have the literal option to iPhone 14 Pro Max zoom in 100 times towards something that’s kind of fun so let’s talk about that zoom.

This is both phone sat one times magnification this is two times this is four times this is 10 times 30 times and now finally 100 times and when just 3x compared to samsung’s 10x it’s a difference that software is going to struggle to recuperate the iphone does have one.

New trick here the fact that the company has quadrupled there solution of their normal main camera from 12 mega pixel on last year’s iphones to 48 megapixels means that they’re iPhone 14 Pro Maxnow also giving you the option to be able to losslessly zoom in two times using that camera and still apparently get a fullquality 12 megapixel output as for how good it is well.

can see that in fact yeah apple’s two times zoom photo is definitively clearer than samsung’s and then thanks at least in part to the photonic engine this applies to.

they said and where i first noticed iPhone 14 Pro Max this improvement was wheni started to take macro shots which used the phone’s ultrawide camera because it has a really short focal distance i wasn’t sure what to expect you know we’ve seen plenty of 40 to 50 promised improvements only then to be able to actually get to the new phones in.

That a new bench mark has just been set and against the samsung it’s also not hard to see how much closer it can focus from and how its detail the whole thing is made to be able to optimize but yeah so far then that’s 2.5 points to the iphone 2.5 to samsung this is neck and neck.

that you’ll be using for 85 percent of your photos who does it better now i already mentioned that with the iphone there’s been a serious resolution bump from last.

If you just take a normal photo from either of these iPhone 14 Pro Max phones what they’re both doing is just clustering together a group of into one bigger cleaner pixel and still out putting a 12 mega pixel image but also samsung has a 108 mega pixel resolution as they continue to remind uson twitter this is kind of iPhone 14 Pro Max cringe samsung so and most importantly.

How intelligently the phone can process the information that this camera system is capturing and this is where the new iphone smashes it because even with less than half there solution its sensor is actually slightly larger than samsung’s for may be the first time in history and it does seem like apple is also processing.

That info more efficiently take these shots very standard day time photos both 12 megapixel but if we try cropping into any part of it by any significant amount can.

iphone having this big boy sensor now is that for the first time ever it can keep parity with samsung’s tremendous natural separation the fore ground and back ground and this makes shots of people look better shelter plants look better shots of pets look better much needed for you milo it’s eroding.

That reputation of iphone footage being incredibly flat compared to using a proper dslr camera the one thing that samsung has alway sheld above apple and continues to hold over improve the dynamic range but even then the lead that they have is shrinking now it’s only noticeably ahead in the more extreme fringe scenarios actually this is important.

The general trend that we’ve always seen in this apple vs samsung waris samsung has better hardware higher quality camera sensors apple has better software that can get more out compared to 50 or 100 from samsung and so apple can go all in on that optimization and.

This discrepancyhas always kept samsung and apple largely just trading blows with each other but what’s happened this time around is that apple has given such a bump to their samsung’s case with main camera photos even though i prefer the vibe of samsung’s.

Shots the coolert ones the crispier iPhone 14 Pro Max contrast the face brightening the vibrance given that this is all stuff you could achieve with a simple editing pre set it’s hard to say that it out weighs the fact that 80 ofthe time apple is now capturing more information with systematically more correct color science really i didn’t notice the same disparity.

matche iPhone 14 Pro Max din this regard now something that i’m starting to pay more and more attention to is audio quality.

if you can have crystal clear audio that’s like 50 of your work done for you and it’s hard to say outright that one iPhone 14 Pro Max of these.

phones when samsung’s s22 ultra launched its portraits were already iPhone 14 Pro Max a tier above last gen but since that launch the company has also compounded that with a couple of meaty software upgrades and man i mean both of these are looking pretty spicy right.

ITS DIFFICULT TO COMPARE THESE TWO UNBEATABLE BRANS

Now what let samsung down a bit is that their three-time zoom camera which is the default camera on most phones for portraits as it’s just more flattering than going right up close to someone’s face with the main one times camera is not as good quality as apple’s three-time zoom camera and so apple pulls out in front thanks to simply having more detail in just about every single scenario that you can take a portrait mode shot in and then.

if you’re shooting anything moving you’re far more likely to be able to capture it without blur ring it this isn’t just a portrait mode thing you notice the shutter lag in most photo capturing situations.

But it’s particularly bad with portrait mode because portrait mode shots naturally take a bit longer anyways so one featuret hat i’ve been very curiously eyeing upon the iphone 14 is action mode it’s thesame kind of super steady video that samsung’s had for four iPhone 14 Pro Max generations now that takes a video as normal but then uses digital zoom to crop into that video and then moves the view point around within that video to try and match each frame to the last frame and make the whole thing appear as smooth as possible.

iPhone 14 Pro Max BEST FEATURE

footage on a 2022 flag ship phone but apple’s implementation is not just dramatically more stable but also has less of a quality hit there is still some normal video.

Which is enough of a difference that when you’re watching it back on your iPhone 14 Pro Max phone’s display the iphone’s result just looks like normal footage as opposed to samsung’s where you can really tell that you’ve used a specialized mode not in a good way the saving grace for samsung is that the vast majority of videos you take won’t be.

Which samsung has given this camera almost sixty percent more space to be able to move to counteract your hand movements compared to their last phone and up against that to stabilize but there’s something else you might have noticed.

s2012 videoso it’s not surprising that the 14 pro is too but the question on my mind has been with all the new camera hardware upgrades apple supposedly added this.

You’re getting absolutely soaked because it’s the uk most people iPhone 14 Pro Max even then would still notice the difference it’s not hard to see how samsung really struggles with dark areas anything that’s remotely shadowy like my jeans right now it just kind of crushes them it makes them just look black plus if you look towards the edges of samsung’s if you.

still in the middle of the day you shouldn’t have that on a 1200 ultra flag ship phone now i do thin kthat the samsung is the more exciting phone while using my 10x zoom lens makes.

It feel like a sniper scope that i can fit in my pocket plus this phone has an s pen inside of it that doubles as a bluetooth remote to be able to trigger that recording this is cool stuff but while it does do a better job as a toy for video it doesa distinctly lesser job as a tool for video like if you switch to both phones ultra wide cameras while recording samsung’s quality takes an even bigger hit than apple’s the iphone cantransition smoother between.

what these two phones see if you put them in the same environment samsung has redeeming qualities but i would take the iphone in this situation nine times out of ten.

Whereas samsung’s been left behind at 1080p where it still feel slike a no velty actually i want you tosee this feature in full screen because you can probably tell the edge detectionis better the blur is more natural than it was last year this is far iPhone 14 Pro Max ahead of what any other company is doing with this right now plus when you get to lower light the graininess of samsung’s video can sometimes spiral out of control and it seems like no amount of updates.

that they’ve dropped in the last six months have addressed that and that brings us on to the single section thati’ve been most curious about night mode photos this is.

New photonic engine paired with better camera sensors is going to lead us to some sort of paradigm shift in image quality and i will say thisi can tell it’s more like they took last year’s image and just gave ita significant cleaning up it’s making me really wish that there was more flair.

I wish we had more kinds of night mode and a stro photography features like we dow ith so many androids but as a base photo that you could then take to other programs to have more fun with this is the most technically impressive night mode that i’ve ever seen on a iPhone 14 Pro Max smartphone its brightening and like wise.

that clarity which the iphone is better delivering speaking of which there’s also apple’s new iPhone 14 Pro Max flash module now ever since the introduction of nightmode on phones.

I just i don’t think it looks natural or flat tering this upgraded flash module though kind of helps it’s not necessarily the brightest flash i’ve ever seen samsung almost consistently spills out more light but the iPhone 14 Pro Max benefit of the system which only really kind of comes into its own in these night time scenarios is that.

it is better than what most competitors are doing right now oh and a sub to the channel would be flashy so then just before we pick a winner iPhone 14 Pro Max between these phones slow motion.

it’s pretty clear that neither of these two companies care about slow motion the feature is prettymuch in the same place that it was fiveyears ago with the quality just slowly iPhone 14 Pro Max trickling up as the camera hardware naturally improves that said the iphone’s jump has been a little big gerand while i can safely say that.

Which of these phones has a better over all camera system and i can only pick one for now it is the iphone with a few cav eats that the us apple has made the phone more expensive in other regions and c you could argue that the s22 ultra it’sbeen out for six months at this point.

It’s not a new phone any more but i don’t think that argument holds up too well because it usually takes samsung about this much time to become fully optimized so the s28 ultra has only just really reached its peak now you might have realized over the last year that the only case i’ve been using is the d brand grip there’s a reason for that it is the best phone case.

and clicky thanks to the cut outs around them and like the name iPhone 14 Pro Max suggests the sand stone texture that you go all the way around makes it very very grippy.

Who’s a friend of mine to make this new collection called pallets i had to get one of these grip cases with his design i’ve ended up going for the magma one but i would be lying if i said that sol stice wasn’t also calling out to medamn i’m genuinely iPhone 14 Pro Max torn again anywayslink in the description to check out the grips
