DXOMARK has released its analysis of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera scoring it well under the iPhone 14 Pro and even the iPhone 13 Pro.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera scored 140 putting in a three-way tie for tenth place with the Google Pixel 7 and Vivo X90 Pro+. The iPhone 13 Pro achieved a score of 141 putting it in seventh place and the iPhone 14 Pro received a score of 146 landing in fourth. The top three smartphone cameras are the Huawei Mate 50 Pro with 149 and the Google Pixel 7 Pro and Honor Magic4 Ultimate, both with 147.
One of the issues with the S23 Ultra camera was instability in exposure.
Exposure instabilities were an issue though, with noticeable exposure differences between consecutive shots of the same scene. In comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro was much more consistent. Tone compression on faces was another weakness in terms of exposure.
Here's a look at the full pros and cons...
Pros
● Consistent camera performance in all features, making it a great smartphone imaging allrounder
● Very good photo rendering, providing a high level of details
● Very good autofocus in photo and video, allowing to capture the instant in most lighting conditions
● Strong tele zoom performance at long range
● Good sound rendition with both the built-in speakers and the microphones
● Efficient audio zoom and wind noise reduction features
● Good readability in most lighting conditions
● Very good video experience overall
● Good color fidelity in most lighting conditions
Cons
● Loss of image detail in low-light situations
● Some shutter lag when shooting in low light
● Exposure and focus instabilities, particularly in backlit scenes
● Default recorder app doesn't offer the same audio quality as the main camera app
● Low flicker frequency and too-high brightness for night reading
● Under sunlight, colorful content lacks nuances
● Details and brightness lacking in indoor lighting conditions
