On phones, it is more about the software these days than the hardware.
True... but imagine what you could get with a large camera sensor... *and* software enhancements?
I'm always amazed at the photos and video I get from my phone thanks to software.
But I'd love to see what that same kind of software could do to images from a full-frame camera sensor.
Not to worry, they already do 👍. Even last years model (iPhone 14 Pro), will trounce the new “Galaxy.”
Samsung can give their phones all the exciting features they want but in the end it is an Android phone and that is a Google product and well..... I will never trust anything coming from Google....ever!
Apple just turn to 48...not 200. Apple will stay and improve by software that 48mp for at least 4-5 years, in the meantime samsung will be probably at 300mp...so what trend is Apple chasing ?! Apple is still at 6gb of ram. And this year Apple for surely will be among first with 3nm SoC
At samsung marketing i think they pay so low that they dont have even people in 1st grade, joking aside its clear the X is made from the 2 lights intersecting each other
I’m telling you if they could slip a big sensor in there and have all the wires come off the side it could fit, and then make the slimmest pancake lens they can get on there we’d have it made. I don’t care how thick it is if it can perform like an actual DSLR.
Mmmmm.....that would be breaking the laws of physics.....and that is not possible!
Hopefully some good competition for Apple to keep them moving forward.
Samsung would be better off developing their own OS and dropping Android entirely.
Nokia Lumia 1020 was as close as we got to that.
I think there is a real market for a phone that has much much better glass in front of the sensor.
I mean I'm happy to lug my Nikon Z50 around with the 16-50 on it for now. That will actually go in my pocket!
Completely agree. The 14 Pro camera is actually a regression compared to the 13 Pro from my limited testing.
It’s Apples job to re-write those laws.
I forget you need a certain distance from a sensor to a lens. Seems like the only way would be to have a pop out lens of some sort, but then there goes water resistance along with moving parts to break.
I’ll be keeping an eye on these phones, along with the next Pixel.
I really like iPhones but the flat sides on my iPhone 13 have worn out there welcome a while ago. I absolutely despise how the edges dig into my hand regardless of what case I have tried on it. My next phone will have rounded edges so it’s up to Apple if my next phone is an iPhone or I go back to android.

I stopped using Samsung because of two main reasons;
1) In Europe, we could get phones only with Exynos
2) Software update was always delayed. Samsung releses SW update for newest models first.
Otherwise I really liked Samsung phones. Photos were really good. Call logs were so long that I could even get info when I spoke to a person in the past. If I want to delete all the 250 calls my wife did to me in the past 3 months with just a couple of steps. Or I can just use T9 keys to call a specific person.
As I fell into Apple's ecosystem with APP, AWU, ATV etc... Don't think that I would buy a Samsung phone in the near future. Who knows... May be a as a second phone..

I’m not sure what phone you are looking at but the last couple of iOS updates the camera software has become lackluster. Over processed and over sharpened. Video remains awesome but the photos not so much anymore. That 48MP you need to use ProRAW to get anything decent out of it. Apple needs to do a Pixel task and focus, really focus on the software and stop updating the hardware all the time.
