The result was unexpected for Korea Giant: Galaxy lost to competitors in terms of image quality. In the test, the S25 ultra frame, a photo of the hand against the background of the window, appeared with the darkest and distinct sounds. In a similar example, Xiaomi and iPhone released lighter and cleaner pictures.
When comparing street photos, the advantage is again Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. According to Insider, the device is equipped with the “the most powerful sensor with a high dynamic range”, while the HP2 sensor in the galaxy looks pale.
In 10 -fold zoom mode, Xiaomi showed better details and Samsung’s pictures were less bright. The iPhone also kept the level safely.
IPhone 17 Pro Max and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max were only available in September 2025, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra was released in January.
According to rumors, at the beginning of 2026, Samsung will offer an updated ultra model that can capture (and probably pass) competitors in the quality of the photo.
