A Rozetked YouTube analysis compares the current flagship smartphones and identifies the top camera phone of 2024. The presenter walks through a comprehensive test lineup to determine which device delivers the strongest overall photographic performance.
The evaluation includes the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, iPhone 15 Pro Max, Google Pixel 8 Pro, Vivo X100 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Across the tests, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra stands out with its ultra-wide camera, accurately preserving facial geometry better than its rivals. Notably, the wide-angle mode on the iPhone produced noticeable facial distortion, a flaw that, alongside other drawbacks, contributed to Apple’s flagship being labeled the weakest in this comparison.
With the main camera, the Vivo X100 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max excelled at portrait photography and capturing people, while the Pixel 8 Pro and Galaxy S24 Ultra lagged behind in this specific category. In portrait mode, the Vivo X100 Pro and the Galaxy S24 Ultra demonstrated strong subject isolation, separating the person from the background with clarity.
In night photography, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, Vivo X100 Pro, and Pixel 8 Pro led the field in detail. At 2x zoom, the Vivo and Pixel delivered the sharpest results, though the Pixel exhibited some artifacts. The Vivo X100 Pro also showed an edge in low-light detail when employing the telephoto option, with the Oppo Find X7 Ultra earning praise for selfie detail and earning recognition from Pixel as well.
Overall, the Vivo X14 Pro emerged as the standout performer in all tests, delivering the strongest results when directly compared to the flagship Xiaomi 100 Ultra; the X14 Pro and Xiaomi 100 Ultra claimed first and second places. Following them were the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, Google Pixel 8 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in that order.
There was a note about shipments in a prior report: iPhone shipments in China reportedly fell by about a third in February, reflecting broader market dynamics that can influence consumer perception and availability in certain regions.
