iPhone 15 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 Camera Comparison - Is the Upgrade Worth It？

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

today we'll be comparing the brand new

iPhone 15 Pro to the Samsung Galaxy Flip

4Z, which was my previous phone, and we're

going to be comparing the cameras and the

hardware and the specs and the body and

design. Okay, so the first thing you might

notice is that the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4Z

is a very tall phone. It's much taller

than the iPhone 15 Pro, and I don't really

like that. It feels too top-heavy And the

problem is when you're watching YouTube on

the Samsung Flip 4Z, because it's so tall

and slim, when you're watching YouTube,

the little YouTube 16:9 ratio is just like

a very tiny portion of the phone. Look how

long the phone is, and you only get this

tiny bit at the top to view the video.

You could fit 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 and a half of

these little YouTube screens in this

entire long phone, whereas on the iPhone

15 Pro, the phone is much wider, so you

get a much better viewing experience. And

then when turning the phone onto

landscape,

you'll see that, um, you get these massive

black bars on either side of the Flip 4Z

because of how long it is, whereas on the

iPhone 15 Pro you don't really get those

black bars because the aspect ratio is

much better for YouTube. And even though

the Flip 4Z screen is longer, it's

actually the same size as the iPhone 15

Pro when watching a video on YouTube. So

in terms of that, I don't really like how

long they've made the phone, but they've

kind of had to make the phone this long so

they could make the phone flippable like

this. And the thing is with the Flip 4Z,

I don't really flip it that much.

Actually, I don't think I ever flip it.

Even when it's in my pocket, I just put it

into my pocket like that because it's kind

of annoying having to unflip it all the

time. I'd rather just not have to unflip

it. Becomes a bit tedious. It takes like a

second or two to like take out your pocket

and then unfold it and then unlock the

screen. It is kind of annoying. And with

the iPhone, it's a traditional phone

design, so you don't really have to faff

around with unflipping it and flipping it.

Doing a CPU benchmark, you can see that

the iPhone 15 Pro blows the Flip Z4 out of

the water. We got single-core performance

of 2949 versus 1749, which is nearly

double, and then a multi-core score of

7336 versus 4178, which is again almost

double. So the CPU processing power blows

the CPU processing power of the Flip 4Z

out of the water. And the thing is, the

Flip 4Z came out last year, but it's kind

of using outdated hardware. For some

reason, Samsung put in the last generation

of specs into this new generation phone.

It's only a year old— I mean, it's not

even a year old and it's already got

outdated specs. And actually, this iPhone

12 Mini that I'm filming the video on has

better performance than this phone, and

the iPhone Mini 12 came out in like 2020.

So I don't know why Samsung put such a

weak processor into this phone. Oh my God,

I did a GPU test! Look at the GPU

comparison— 27,000 on the GPU Metal

score versus 6,000 on the Flip 4Z.

The iPhone 15 Pro with the A17 Bionic chip

just completely destroys whatever's on

this Flip 4Z. What does the Flip 4Z have?

It has a Um,

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with

1 processor, 8 cores.

And the iPhone 15 A17 chip has—

it actually has less cores. It's only got

6 cores versus 8 cores, but for some

reason it's way faster. Just says ARM,

but we know it's an A17 chip. Yeah, Apple

A17 Pro GPU. So the A17 and the iPhone 15

Pro is so much faster in terms of GPU

and, um, versus the Flip 4Z. So it's

obviously not even close to the iPhone 15

Pro. Okay, next we'll take some video

tests and photo tests. I'll take a video

of this little green plant on both phones

and then I'll show them in this video. So

I'm going to hit record and we're

currently filming at the standard lens

length, 1x, and then we can zoom out to

the wide angle like that. Go into 1x,

and you can actually switch between

different focal lengths just using the 1x

48-megapixel camera. Oh wait, you can't do

that on video mode, that's only for photo

mode. Okay, so we go into 2x and then

3x for really nice background

blur bokeh, and this is natural background

blur, this is not like the portrait mode

artificial software rendering. So this is

true background blur, and it looks really

good. Wow,

that looks amazing. 3x optical zoom— is it

actually using the zoom lens? No, it's

not. I can cover up the zoom lens with my

finger. That means it's using the standard

48MP lens, just cropped in. For some

reason, sometimes it doesn't use the 3x

optical zoom. And it chooses to use the

cropped-in 48-megapixel sensor instead

because I can tell I put my finger over

the bottom lens which is the telephoto and

it's still visible which means it's not

using it. So let's see if I can get it to

use the actual 3x optical zoom.

No, it's still not using it.

I did try to use it then Yeah, it's using

it now. Look, look, now it's using it and

it won't focus now. Oh, it flips back to

the 48 megapixels. That's weird. Oh, I get

it. When, when things are really close,

it will prefer to use the cropped-in

48-megapixel sensor, but when things are

far away, it uses the actual 3x optical

telephoto lens. Yeah, it's using it now.

Now I can cover it with my finger. And you

can tell it's using it. Interesting.

Also, we can zoom in close for like a

macro shot, and it should

flip over to the macro. Actually, I think

I need to end the video and then start

recording again for it to switch to macro.

Yeah, it's using macro now.

So I can do some really close-up shots

with this like that.

Okay, so that was the iPhone 15 camera

test, and now I'll do the same test with

the Flip 4Z. So let's

go into video mode. And hit

record. So the Flip 4Z doesn't have

anything— what? Why has it only got 1x?

Where's wide angle? Oh, oh, you can't

use the wide angle when you choose 60

frames per second. Okay, I put it back

down to 30 frames per second, hit record,

and we've got standard lens with a

cropped-in digital zoom. Which looks

pretty good actually. It looks fine. I can

go up to 10x, 10x digital zoom. Oh, that

looks pretty rubbish now.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. That looks

terrible. The 10x digital zoom is really

bad, but, uh,

3x looks okay, I think, if you've

got good lighting.

And then we got the wide angle.

And then if you want to do close-ups with

the Flip 4Z, it does actually focus quite

closely. It focuses way closer with the

standard lens than the iPhone 15. You

don't even need like a macro, fancy

special macro mode, although the iPhone 15

Pro does focus in way closer with the

macro mode. But this is fine. I mean, you

could crop in a little bit like this if

you want to get up really close. And the

good thing about the Flip 4Z is you can

kind of fold it a little bit like this and

it acts as a stand. That is one thing I

really like about the Flip 4Z is that it

can turn into its own stand just by

folding like this, and then you can use it

as like a little tripod on its own.

That's really a nice feature. That I do

have to say I kind of miss.

Yeah, that's really nice because you can

just do this to make it even more stable

like that. You can flip it like this and

there's no way that's falling over. You

can put this onto any surface and it will

just stay upright. You can't really do

that with the iPhone. I mean, you can try.

The iPhone 12 can stand up on its side

because it's such a flat edge. Oh, it does

stand up, but you need a really flat edge,

and that's gonna, that's gonna fall over

if I wobble the table. Yeah, not very

advisable. Definitely use a tripod if you

want to do hands-free filming, but the

Flip 4Z can do hands-free filming

easy.
