That was fantastic. Thanks well presented and just great writing to boot
S23 ultra blows every chinese phone out of the water, best zoom, best video and best photos during the night and the day despite much smaller sensor. Shameless chinese companies release beta camera software labeling it as stable.
i pick up vivo x90 pro
now vivo vs honor vs iphone vs google, please
In that comparison, the Pixel 7 Pro is missing.
If the Vivo X90 Pro+ were to be launched internationally, it would be the best in everything, it's a shame that it still won't leave China (or let them change the Chinese rom).
We'll see if Oppo (with Hasselblad) finally leaves us without the "Find X6 Pro" and if it reaches the West, we'll have to see if it delivers the great results of the Vivo X90 Pro (with Zeiss).
These brands should partner with adobe.
Low how nasty these jpgs are. Even someone with zero knowledge of editing ( like me) can in 20s tweak dng file and get better photos even out of phones with much smaller sensors like 1/1.56" , 1/1.76", 1/2"....
I no longer waste my time using jpgs.
Anonymous, 17 Mar 2023technical evaluation =/= preference im talking as a consumer though.
Beautiful write up indeed
why have the ai modes on? they are known to mess up the photos in grand ways. Also, it's kinda dumb to talk about how vivid vivo's shots are while you actively chose to use the vivo vivid mode instead of the zeiss natural one. If you guys actually took photos with both the modes you should've uploaded them. If not, then should've gone for the more natural mode since that's what matters most for people who actually care about photography. If I wanted something that just "looked good" I'd have gone for any of them and been happy with it. This comparison does not make much sense at all. If one were to use the argument that "well most people won't delve too deep into the settings" bruh they won't care so much about the camera quality to compare them either lmao
Anyways, the winners imo are easily the S23 Ultra and the Xiaomi 13 pro. If the 13 Pro had better HDR it'd have been the top one. Though sometimes it oversharpens like for example the second daylight photo, pretty weird.

even Nothing already does better.

I dislike how they make the 'brighter, more vivid, and punchier ' photos seem like they are the best but come on, that's not what you're looking at. It's virtually false advertising.
I do like that Vivo has a natural mode but we shouldn't glorify overprocessed photos like they are the best.
Chavis, 17 Mar 2023The conversion values are mentioned briefly on 3rd page. Doubt a lot of people know what these... morefor main camera only, these phone have 3-4 cameras.
all should be listed
Whackcar, 17 Mar 2023A mobile photography competition & you didn't include a Huawei flagship? That's ... moreOkay, list your favorite cameraphones for 2023. Which one would you have included?
Maybe we'll do a follow-up of this comparison with new devices if we get enough interest in this type of article.
Also, vivo is a BBK brand. And while the Find X6 Pro announcement is imminent, it's probably not leaving China. So which BBK phone would you include in a potential follow-up?
Anonymous, 17 Mar 2023Gsmarena should have written the FF equivalent values as extra info and make article richer. The conversion values are mentioned briefly on 3rd page. Doubt a lot of people know what these mean anyway, so we didn't highlight their significance as much as the rest of the specs as we didn't want to confuse anyone.
Vivo X90 Pro - 23mm f/4.62 (FF equivalent)
Xiaomi 13 Pro - 23mm f/5.0 (FF equivalent)
Xiaomi 12S Ultra - 23mm f/5.0 (FF equivalent)
Galaxy S23 Ultra - 24mm f/6.0 (FF equivalent)
