Apple Samsung Featured Versus. If you are looking to buy a compact flagship smartphone in , then this dilemma would have probably come up at least once — "iPhone 14 Pro or Galaxy S23". While those two smartphones are not in the same price range, they are so frequently compared that we decided to pit them head to head and give you the complete breakdown, which is the best one of the two. You can compare the complete specs sheets or check our editor's assessment further below. The iPhone 14 Pro and Galaxy S23 are quite similar when it comes to footprint and thickness, something that's understandable given both phones pack 6. The iPhone is noticeably heavier than the Galaxy — it weighs 38 grams more — and that's because of the premium build.

Samsung s23 vs iphone 14 camera comparison

Last week, we published a camera comparison article between the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review and the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max review , where we saw that the Samsung phone outclassed the iPhone in most scenarios. In daylight, practically every phone captures decent colours and gives great results. Night photography is the real test for cameras. The picture taken from the S23 has dark shadows and in fact, the bulb inside the temple is also overexposed. In contrast, the image captured by the iPhone 14 is noticeably brighter and the furniture is also quite visible in the frame. This makes iPhone 14 a better performer in low-light situations. I took the same shot with night mode on both phones. The Samsung Galaxy S23 loses the battle again. The furniture is more visible and in fact, the sky outside looks much better on the iPhone. Therefore, I can say that low-light photography goes in favour of the iPhone To analyse the low-light camera performance further, let me share the results of the front camera in dim light. When looking at these photos, you can also observe that the iPhone 14 captured a better selfie in this dark situation than the Samsung S

It does lack that telephoto lens, so it loses out on some nifty tricks when you go in for portraits or enhancements. Samsung's telephoto cameras open up creative possibilities the iPhone can't match.

Samsung's telephoto cameras open up creative possibilities the iPhone can't match. Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with wide. With its superior telephoto capabilities and an interesting megapixel main camera, I wanted Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra to teach Apple a lesson in how a flagship phone should handle digital photography. Not because I want Apple to lose, but because I want competition to improve everybody's smartphone photography. But even though the S23 Ultra camera specs look better than the iPhone 14 Pro's in many ways, I'm not going to declare it the better option for photographers.

I took a picture of this cactus plant I have in my front yard with no lights other than from the streets. That's wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto. Its details are soft and a yellow cast is present again. The maximum manual brightness is similar across both phones at about nits, while the iPhone can be brighter under direct sunlight with up to 1, nits of max brightness. While the colors are more true to life in the iPhone 14 Pro version, it appears some detail was lost with the bluefin tuna in the back, as well as the decorative leaf on the dish. Another tricky shot with a very bright item in the foreground. The Galaxy S23 looks to flatten dynamics out, so it can give you the most detail around light sources and avoid burnouts. The Galaxy S23 image is warmer and has a nice tone to it, with colors looking rich and vibrant, even in the background. Sadly, this is the state of the art for smartphone photography these days, and not just with these to manufacturers. Reader comments p. Another difference I noticed is that my sweater looks a little dark and my skin looks pale in the picture taken from the iPhone 14, whereas the Samsung camera captured somewhat close to the actual colour of my sweater and my skin tone is also neutral. At the end of the day, the two devices are good enough to run smoothly pretty much everything you find on their respective app stores. The better daylight photo quality. A custom Apple GPU with 5 cores is used for graphics rendering.

They have a lot of competition in this space though, as the S23 is directly competing with the iPhone 14 , and for the first time Apple has a clear competitor to the Plus model too, in the form of the iPhone 14 Plus. So the standard phones have broadly comparable prices to each other, as do the Plus models, but with slight differences depending on region. They have flat screens with a punch-hole camera in the top center, while on the back the cameras jut out of the rear individually, rather than being housed in a camera block, as on the S22 and S22 Plus.

That aside, we really like the colors and contrast from the Pixel 7 here — good balance for a dramatic portrait shot. Another tricky shot with a very bright item in the foreground. We still have to give it to the Pixel here for the details, though. Both cameras overprocessed the fine structure of the flower below, but the Samsung went further overboard. However, though you get more details in the greenery in the front, the iPhone 14 Pro image has more sharpness with the dirt and gravel. Yet, when we compare the pictures taken by both phones using 3x, the colours on the iPhone appear to be better and the sunlight exposure is more balanced. However, with the iPhone 14 Pro , the colors are again more realistic, the finer details like lines and texture in the grass blades are still there, and you can even see those details through the raindrops. When looking at these photos, you can also observe that the iPhone 14 captured a better selfie in this dark situation than the Samsung S The iPhone 14 looks the softest, with most details lost — definitely looks like a digital crop. The better call runtime. The colors are more saturated, sometimes the images are of higher contrast, and the images are not over-sharpened and look more balanced. One thing that Apple can do on the iPhone 14 Pro but Samsung cannot on the S23 is the 2x lossless zoom. Is there a "best" one in this competition? Though the colors are more appealing in the Galaxy S23 shot, the iPhone 14 Pro version simply looks better overall. Many of us are currently exploring the features of these phones and seeing which ones aren't available on our iPhones, myself included.
