Galaxy S25 Ultra vs iPhone 17 Pro Camera Comparison
I compared original photos from both, focusing on real portrait shots and night mode.
The Galaxy handles white balance to make things brighter, while the iPhone feels more natural with indoor colors. For zoom, the Galaxy wins at 10x and above, while the iPhone produces smoother bokeh for portraits.
The interesting part was the difference in AI processing. The Galaxy smooths skin texture, so some shots can look artificial, while the iPhone tends to preserve fine detail even if it leaves a bit more noise. In the end, it depends on what you're after, but I can't help always going back and forth between the two lineups.

Yeah, the gallery white balance really is a matter of taste.
As someone who's used both, I totally get that. At night, the Galaxy does brighten things up, but the skin tone feels a bit muted? The iPhone seems closer to the original color. But zoom is a total win for the Galaxy. In the end, I guess it just depends on what you're shooting.
Well, I'm not so sure about that. These days iPhones also apply a ton of AI processing, so it feels like you're talking about the old days. And saying Galaxy captures things more vibrantly might actually just mean oversaturated colors.
Where's the source? Aren't both just fine?
