Thanks for watching and stopping by! Let me know if you want a comparison video to the iPhone 17 pro.

Just bought it, I'm a pro photographer so looking forward to trying out the camera. A fair comparison to the iPhone 17 pro would be interesting as I'm fed up with all the   'anything apple can do no wrong' influencers.

Great video! As a Samsung user and a New Yorker, I've been ignoring haters my entire life lmao

Just bought S26 Ultra and my jaw dropped when I saw your thumbnail - Smartphone against Hasselblad ! Thought u are gonna compare performance of the phone to a medium format .. 😅

I only use the Pro modes or Raw. The pictures look absolutely amazing.

your phone camera reviews are so much better than everyone else's Evan keep em coming. you go into everything that someone who pushes these devices would want to know.

You're my most reliable source for mobile photography reviews, probably the only one I know who pushes mobile cameras to their limits and puts them to perfect use, I appreciate the effort you put into these videos!

I have the S24 Ultra, an S26 Ultra, and a Sony A7III  Full-frame w/ Prime and Zoom Lenses.

The S26 is definitely an upgrade when it comes to camera quality, especially in low-light, and amazingly in good light. I'm amazed on how clean the images can look vs. The previous S24 Ultra.

Vs. the Full-Frame, the Full-Frame if you can edit the RAW files is still superior, and especially if you're going to use AI Denoise during processing to produce absolute clean images. There is still no substitute for natural bokeh... However, the line on quality gets blurrier year by year, with sometimes the quality from the S26 Ultra is what I actually prefer if you're going to post in social media anyway, especially the benefits of having ready-to-post images and being lightweight to carry.

I just got mine about a month ago, and I absolutely love it. Transitioning from the S25 Ultra to the S26 Ultra was the best switch.

Really appreciated the 'pro' perspective on this! The breakdown of the aperture changes on the 5x and 1x cameras [01:53] was super helpful, it's great to see Samsung finally prioritizing less noise over just higher megapixel counts. Also, that virtual reflector in Expert RAW looks like a massive win for mobile photography. Thanks for the honest review, Evan!

I have 2 great devices on my desk now (S26 Ultra and 17 Pro Max) and having tough times to decide which to keep...Both are really similar in terms of photo and video quality. A lot of processing behind is involved (compare for instance to Xiaomi 17 Ultra or Vivo X300 Pro which are much better in photography department) however remembering that phone is not only a camera, 17 Pro Max and S26 Ultra are best devices on the market as whole package. Period.

APV is AMAZING, the footage is incredible

I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I had been going back & fourth between the Fold Wide and the Z Fold. THIS video has convinced me to just stick with the Ultra series.

I am a wildlife photographer amateur, and have a s24 is this s26 ultra a massive upgrade

Watching this from my S24ultra. I agree with the selfie camera update.

Awesome. Could you share your camera settings for s26u?

Great review man! I just got it in the mail yesterday. I’m going to set it up later today.

I love  ❤️  the camaras of the s26 is so good you can see dithering diferen specially  in 24mb ,the color and the efectos,,, all people  who see the cámara  love it and have iphone  😀  so yeah love  the cámara for evens,lancape  or people

Went from S25 Ultra to Xiaomi 17 Ultra. I was considering the S26 Ultra but it has been years with the same camera sensor and even with a larger aperture it still lags behind. The optics of the Xiaomi are on a different level especially in low light the difference is significant. No regrets

ilike the Samsung 😮
