The camera is better. News to me, maybe in auto mode and if pictures are that important why are you using auto. People get into ios because older people passed them down to their kids, iMessage and FaceTime which meh I'll pass on just to avoid what I term smart phones for dummies that don't like to customize. If cameras and screens were important the Sony Pro-I would have been mainstream in 2021. Now once Apple adapts RCS a lot of things will change because nothing like sms and mms in 2024. Honestly Samsung should just work on getting updates out faster and work on cutting back on pre-installed bloat just give a brief idea of galaxy store apps that a user may find interesting then let them download.

My display and cameras are excellent on my S24 Ultra. iPhone definitely doesn't have the best cameras. Content creators hype up iPhones solely for views and clicks. Google Pixels run circles around pretty much every other smartphone. This has been proven time and time again in blind camera tests and overall camera comparisons.

[That1guystill]

I thought I was the only one who catches that. Blind test always go to either the galaxy or the pixel. Content creators know sheeple go nuts if you say anything bad about apple. Now I will say for a content creator they have more editing options due to the platform not advancing since the iPhone 8 so 🤷🏿‍:male_sign:

I love the blind camera tests because they remove all biases. iPhone cameras are overrated. I've seen a lot of content creators praise Windows laptops lately because Intel and Qualcomm have finally caught up and even surpassed Apple M2/M3 SoC.

It's common knowledge that Samsung cameras suffer from over exposure and Poor Color Accuracy In comparison to iPhones. But this is not to say that Samsung phones don't create quality images.
To add, there have been at least 12 feature films shot on a iPhone, but Samsung has closed the gap in recent years.
We can debate on which phone takes better pictures and video but my post is to state that camera differences never compelled Samsung customers to return their newly purchased Flagship devices. but the recent lackluster colors in their display has.

Well a lot of samsung camera issues get fixed with things like the camera assistant app and turning off that scene enhancement option which your average reviewer online doesn't use either one. Samsung thought people wanted brighter pictures and unreal color so they set them like that by default.

They're releasing an OTA update very soon, that adds a Vividness slider! This will fix this issue.

Question, I have an unlocked phone, my carrier is T-Sprint (mobile), should I get the Samsung Care or can I get insurance with T-Sprint? I didn't have insurance on my S10(finally upgraded). I've dropped my previous phone numerous times (slipped out of my work pocket or hands). 

Question 2... What sreen protector are you guys using? I had a tempered glass protector on my S10 and it worked great. The few times it dropped, my screen was safe .

Thank you guys/gals for your input in advance 💖

Get it through Samsung. It's cheaper AND for the most part quicker overall to get a replacement.

I don't use any Screen protectors. Never broke a screen even if I drop my devices. I do have a case on and so far so good.

I would go with Samsung Care+ just so you know once you order it they will send you a link to download a app and you will need to register with it and take photos  of your phone since you didn't get the insurance at the time of purchase its pretty simple to do.   And screen protectors I've always used the Whitestone dome Glass but this time I'm trying the Samsung film screen protectors
