I generally like the cameras from my 17pro and haven't taken a single picture with the 18pro yet. One thing iPhones struggle with is retaining colour in colored LED and neon lights. The Samsung does a far better job there.

I think the Samsung phones look more detailed in all but some selfie shots. However photo preference is highly subjective and aside from obvious things like sharpness/blur as one example. Some people prefer cooler looking photos, some warmer, some brighter some with more shadow detail. This is why some people prefer different color and contrast settings on tvs.

Look, both are pretty mid, especially when compared to Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo; they are a LONG way behind. Prefer Samsung in most, Apple just crushed low-light shadows and this yellow hue they insist on putting over everything just takes all the personality out of a photo. The less said about Apple's zoom the better, what an embarrassment for such an expensive phone.

Yeah, gotta love the iPhone's complete lack of shadow detail in low-light, worst in class zoom quality, and disgusting yellow hue. Incredible photos' otherwise though huh.

Your glasses cracked? not only is the iPhone worse than the Samsung here, which is only ahead of Pixel on the camera front, the iPhone isn't even in the same ball park as Vivo, Oppo or Xiaomi. Heck even Honor are superior.

Please call me out if I am wrong but most of the photos on the Samsung look way better .... I do NOT want to be biased here but the Galaxy outshines the Iphone on most photos. The funny part is that it did NOT manage to beat the Pixel but at least on these Samsung wins by a large margin, not even close. Please call me out if my eyes are lying to me.
