Chris here and welcome to a camera comparison between the iPhone 14 pro Max the Samsung Galaxy
s22 Ultra and then the xiaomi 12 s Ultra what you're looking at right now is the front facing
cameras video performance so we don't have 4K with the xiaomi 12s Ultra they only shoot 1080p
for some reason and as you can see the quality is suffering not because of that but also the
processing you can see there's a big difference between the iPhone 14 pro Max and the s22 ultra
now I am swapping over the audio sources and what I'm going to do now is just run up some stairs
here and I'll test the stability here with the front facing camera let me know in the comments
which one you think has the best stability with the front cameras and the best audio quality
and a very quick message here from this video's sponsor pataka so if you're after a great case for
your iPhone 14 your 14 pro or your pro Max take a look at their mag easy case 3. now this has a
aramid fiber in it it's a high quality Case yet it is very thin under one millimeter only weighs 20
grams and it supports wireless charging all your magsafe accessories are going to be compatible
with it and it does give decent protection for where your camera module is so you can see that
the surround around it means that those cameras are not going to be touching the lenses when you
place it down and there's protection all around the sides here and down the bottom so if you need
a thin case that's not bulky I highly recommend these check out the link in the description of
this video for more info on the pataka mag easy case 3. Ultra wide cameras now across all three
of them they have electronic image stabilization of course so as they pan around I'll do it slowly
none of them should have any Jada because these are after all Flagship phones very expensive with
powerful processors so I'm gonna run down these stairs jog down them which is the steadiest with
the ultrawide here let me know in the comments and of course which one has the best audio quality and
the least wind noise 4K 60 frames per second now hello Vera do you want to say hello to everyone
so focus on all three it is looking pretty good here plus all three cameras
in a slightly different position on my setup that I have here I'm just going to run ahead
so which one here do you think is the smoothest when it comes to 4K 60 frames per second
so the main cameras rear video I've noticed that the focus on all three does seem to be
very good I really have not seen any problems they tend to get a quick lock and you notice
that when I pan around here maybe one of these Android phones will have a little bit of judder
maybe even the iPhone 14 pro Max hopefully not I'm just taking it really easy as I pan around
and with all of them we can apply a little bit of Zoom here so with the Samsung I've
got 10 times so let's go over to that see if I can zoom into the boat I'll just go to the max
serum that I have here with the xiaomi it's going to allow me that is well 13 times at the moment
you can see the 10 times and I go to three here on the iPhone and you can see there is the boat
standing ahead so I'll just bring back the 12 is ultra Zoom a little bit there and bring it back
to there we go that's 10 times now so the same as the Samsung and I'll play a bit of
digital Zoom here with that iPhone so that's now five times digital how does that login
now the action mode and super City modes on the other two phones here you can see that it is
the iPhone 14 pro Max at least to my eyes that is the more steady out of these three phones so this
means you could use it if you didn't have one on you as an action camera you can see running
up this little Hill here just how much steadier that iPhone 14 pro Max is so it gets a win here
for the super steady mode and the front cameras here in low light you can see not looking as good
as dayload of course very difficult for those small little sensors low light video performance
4K 30 frames per second and you can see all of them have that funny lens effect you see with
the lights how they're shining around it's not so bad maybe on the 12s Ultra but they really do need
that Zeiss t-star coating that Lenovo is using Sony's using would make things a little better
and I'm just going to walk ahead to test out the stabilization at
night because this is where it is very hard for these phones
so let me know again in the comments which one you think is best at low light video over to still
photos now so I think the colors look the best on the s22 ultra here just more pleasant a little bit
too cool on the iPhone 14 pro Max and here with another shot I think again the colors look a
little bit better with the s22 ultra it also seems to have the best stitching but none of them really
got my sunglasses right portrait photos so it's the iPhone 14 pro Max here or the s22 ultra I like
the s22 ultra colors better and the detail the iPhone 14 pro Max does the best job of the Shadows
but it's almost a little too bright and then the 12s Ultra well it's simply too contrasty and
we just lose so much detail in the shadows this time a portrait shot of Vera so it's definitely
not the 12s Ultra it just is a very hit and miss camera the focus is out so no point having a one
inch sensor if you can't even get the basics right here xiaomi so it's either between the 14 pro or
the s22 ultra and I prefer the shot of the 14 pro here because it captures more detail on the blacks
all right now this one's really difficult the ultra wide Shard here they all look excellent
but I don't really like the color balance of the xiaomi so much and when you crop in now you can
see it's either between the iPhone 14 pro Max or the s22 ultra down to personal preference
I think the iPhone 14 pro but then again I'd say the s20 ultra it's a tie here for me because the
iPhone kind of over sharpens a little bit and it's a very pleasant image from the s22 ultra
really difficult shot of this one I think the iPhone 14 pro Max took it now hit pause take a
look study this take a look at the crystal balls look at the chandelier I know some people will
say the iPhone 14 pro Max is over sharpening here but when you take a look at just the whole general
image factoring in details in the shadows and everything I think it's the iPhone and the colors
were actually more true to life here finally we get to see the xiaomi's one inch sensor coming
to play here it doesn't really even look like a mobile phone shot good background blur there and
I think here most people probably go for the s22 ultra the pink actually looks the best on it the
iPhone 14 pro Max is clipping the pink colors a little so is the xiaomi but my pick here is
actually the xiaomi and I'm pretty sure most people would probably disagree with me and go
for the s20 ultra okay so look at the details in the shadows here it's either between the 14 pro
or the 12s Ultra I find that the iPhone 14 pro here is over sharpening a little bit the colors
the more correct colors are the 12s Ultra so that I'm going to lean towards the 12s soldier
that one I'm going to give the win here because it just has the more accurate colors another
really difficult one here so my pick would be the iPhone 14 pro Max all the 12s Ultra because
they have more pleasant background blur but I do actually like what I'm seeing with the 14 pro Max
here I find that the s20 to ultra here just tend to kill a few of those details in the background
there being a little too contrasty those blacks just too deep and I think yeah the iPhone 14 just
Zoom cameras no contest here because we've got three times Optical versus ten times Optical
versus five times Optical and what happens if you then crop them all so the image is more or less
about the same you can see that the s22 ultra yes retains and has the most detail the best
detail and shadows but I still like the image here from the 12s old Triad I don't think it's too bad
for five times Optical you can see quite a bit of noise now coming through with the iPhone 14
pro Max really good HDR test with this shot so they all did a good job of capturing the clouds
the Sun as best as they could it all really boiled down to the white balance and that is
more correct on the iPhone 14 pro Max here with its Ultra wide camera keeping with that Ultra
wide this is now of course low light and yeah not good at all across all three these Ultra
wide sensors the lenses they're not designed for low light and it clearly shows so when you crop
in they all look terrible I would not be using that at all okay so they all look so close here
but then take a look at the details and some of the little shrubs around the pillar then look
at the lights when you crop in it's clear to me that the Galaxy s22 Ultra did take this one here
this particular photo here it's really too close to call and you're probably saying well hey can
you see too close to call but wait a second look at the 12s Ultra the sky is black as it should be
look at the neon lights the way they are captured the colors are actually the best on the 12s Ultra
now the iPhone 14 pro Max it's got a little bit more noise to it it's certainly the brightest
it's a good shot but I lean towards definitely the 12s Ultra here this shot of the castle I
think went to the s22 ultra the 12 is ultra is good but look at the iPhone 14 pro Max I want
to talk about that horrible lens flare the noise it's not actually a good shot the lens flare is
just terrible and I'm so disappointed that Apple has still not fixed this Zoom cameras with their
night shot modes and I think it's the s22 ultra here they're all looking a little bit blurry and
do not worry my cat wopo here I did not use a flash I did not blind him he just isn't too
impressed on taking photos of him at 10 o'clock at night so that's a wrap my quick findings here
are that the video quality of the iPhone is the winner the audio quality with the iPhone I think
was the best because it actually applied a bit of a wind filter that turned out to help out
in the end low light photography well it's very close but I think the s22 ultra is the king there
and then daytime shots I lean towards the iPhone 14 pro Max Zoom cameras the s22 ultra so do you
agree with that let me know in the comments what did you think of this comparison I hope you did
