Anonymous, 15 Feb 2023How do you do that? By using the default camera app?In the default app, open settings and select Settings to be kept, and activate "Filters".
It even keeps the strength of the filter.

I don't get why the iPhones are even mentioned for the camera. Yes, videos look good, but photos? Not even close to what most Android flagships offer.

Ever since S2 iteration then, Samsung Photo Algorithm is more or less the same processes even now. Samsung needs to partners with a known Camera Tech to get the proper image processing for their Mobile Phone Business.

AnonF-1085071, 20 Feb 2023Then a plain Pixel 7 (500$) has a better camera than a Vivo... moreYeah
The score points were not by guessing or determined by human behaviors but machines technologies. So less error for the score points!!

disapointing, 21 Feb 2023The only disappointing is how poor they evaluated the Noise... moreIf I have to choose which way I prefer, it will be definitely too much noise, then too much noise reduction. You can easily reduce it, but resting details taken by noise reduction is not possible. Same with sharpening. I prefer a softer image, that I can easily tweak with any, even inbuilt in most galleries editors, than having to oversharpen with halos and artifacts. So I even wish that Samsung tones down both noise reduction and sharpening in default processing. Or, if they are adding more things to Camera Assistant, they could add Noise Reduction, Sharpening, and Saturation dropdowns with 3 possible values: low, medium, and high.

Bodygard, 19 Feb 2023No news on the site about dxomark s23 ultra disappointing s... moreThe only disappointing is how poor they evaluated the Noise on S23. Actually they rated so bad on something that is only a software tweak, not a hardware issue. For Samsung, the reason to keep that low was the criticism about preserving the details in the past.
The truly funny thing is that if Samsung release a software update, the S23 Ultra becomes automatically the best cameraphone! They can easily get 15 more points only of Noise section! They don't need to change anything else to get the crown!

They have some work to do with he processing. Too bad they opted for this 200MP 0.6µm sensor as main, instead of using the GN2, or revised version of this.

I’m not biased either way,I love my iPhone 13 Pro Max and I also have just got a s23 ultra.Now what I have noticed is the Samsung screen isn’t as clear as the iPhone screen even at the top definition it seems to have less whiteness to it,that’s vivid or natural mode,I’m presuming it’s the apple True Tone that makes the screen seem more pure,the Samsung screen seems artificial to me and even in comparison reviews on YouTube between the 23 ultra and the 14 pro max the Samsung screen seems off colour??

AnonF-1085071, 20 Feb 2023Well it's actually the best in zoom and battery life i... moreAll depends on the needs. For me, zooms like 5x or 10x are redundant. If I had to choose only one zoom, that would be something like 2,5x for perfect portrait shots. And again, if I had to choose between having zoom at all and great UW, I take UW. So for me, smartphone wining in the "best zoom" category, is like some beauty content on the other side of the planet. Congrats, but I don't care.
As for the battery I agree, that everyone will be happy about the improvements in this department.

Besides, what 99,99% of people listen to on phones is heavily compressed audio (streaming services) or just old MP3's. Bad audio doesn't get magically better if you pass it through outstanding DAC.

And yeah galaxies, especially the notes, were always known for being top and all around best performers.
But in the last so many years that gap diminished and its only by small margins.
Especially with the way they've become lazy, and greedy, complacent. But so have most companies at this point.

Anonymous, 19 Feb 2023Sure on technicality is all around overall about the best. ... moreWell it's actually the best in zoom and battery life in Android. Both of these are really good pros. As for the rest I agree, it's the best in overall but not because it's immensely superior in every single aspect. But we have to think also that no phone is the best by anything significant.
It's also hard to be the best in overall, and Samsung is the only brand that has been capable to do that. All chinese brands, for example, fail in some or many important aspects. For example, none of them gives a proper front facing camera, all have laugheable 1080p front cameras.
Some still even use 1990 technology like the obsolete USB 2.0 or barely 2-3x zooms, not a single one supports really Hi-Fi 384kHz audio like this Samsung does, no S-Pen competition, and so on... Samsung offers more quality than anyone else does. And that's undeniable.
