Galaxy S24 Ultra: How PetaPixel (and Other Photographers) Keep Getting Android Cameras Wrong…

So help me I’m doing a reaction video. The end is nigh.

Following Samsung’s Unpacked event, the guys at PetaPixel had a lot of thoughts to share about the S24 Ultra. During a recent podcast, they asked:

“Is AI camera tech enough to warrant a new phone model, since there wasn’t any change in the hardware?”

Which is a pretty complicated topic to dig into. While the gents had a lot to say about Samsung (and Samsung’s competition), I felt they also missed some key points.

So here we are. I’m responding to a podcast.

I AM SO SORRY. Continue reading “Galaxy S24 Ultra: How PetaPixel (and Other Photographers) Keep Getting Android Cameras Wrong…”

Does the OnePlus 12 have a Stacked Camera Sensor? Is the Open Camera Better? CONTROVERSY!

What’s going on with the OnePlus 12 camera?
I’ve gotten a number of questions from folks concerned about the new camera sensor in the OnePlus 12, and how it might be different from the OnePlus Open. Is OnePlus trying to pull a fast one? Should folks expect poorer camera performance on the less expensive phone?
Why did Sony give these sensors different names?

Still, that doesn’t mean we CAN’T compare them a little right? Continue reading “OnePlus 12 vs OnePlus 11: It’s not a fair fight…”
