Vivo X100 Pro (left) | Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (right)
They’re the same picture with a difference in tonemapping…
Right now all the difference is mostly in the image processing software
Sensors are mostly made by Sony for everyone, Apple included
Sorry to inform you most people just take pics, watch porn and ocasionally message somebody.
Yo quit spying.
Why would you want less if you are buying a top of the line phone? Because people sure as hell aren’t buying a flagship just for phone calls and texts. Camera has pretty much become the gold standard for comparing phones these days.
I want the effort that would otherwise go into making camera even better to go into making other aspects of phone better. Figure me out a better battery instead, give me more features that make my phone capable of doing tasks that can currently be done only on computer, stuff like that.

that’s what I have
something may not be working as expected, the site is clean to me.
ah, I checked again, it works fine for me now as well
Samsung has been doing a lot of great things with their flagships these days, but I begrudgingly switched back to a Pixel last year mainly for the camera. Their cameras weren’t bad by any means, and there are some limited situations where I actually preferred them, but they just didn’t feel as consistent and dependable as other flagships.
If the S24 brings a more competitive camera to the table, sign me up.
Have you seen Sony’s recent phones? I’ve been using them the last couple years and I’ll never go back. Finger-removable SD card, headphone jack, notification LED, etc
I think they’re some of the best phones available right now, but sadly they rival the iphone in price.
I appreciate the tech in Sony’s phones, but I haven’t seen anything that I would be excited to use in my daily driver. No shade to anyone who prefers them, they look like great devices for a niche but their product philosophy is just very different from the mass appeal that Samsung and Google lean towards.
I get what you mean, the main difference there being that Google, Samsung and Apple add a ton of auto photo enhancements built into their camera apps to make photos “pop” more, without effort- which is suitable for most people who aren’t photography inclined.
Sony phones give you all the tools to enhance them but it’s up to the user to do it, which as a photographer I certainly appreciate. Sony still had a basic camera app that adds a small degree of enhancements, but you can also shoot them in RAW.
That being said, I think it’s funny that the only(?) flagships right now that retain expandable storage and a headphone jack are labeled by YouTubers as “enthusiast/niche” phones when really they’re just as usable for anyone and the same price as a mid- top tier iphone.
You just add the photo “pop” yourself if desired.
The new ones have removed the notification light.
