In my last photo shootout between the iPhone 15 Pro and Galaxy S24 Plus, Apple’s flagship came out on top between the two $999 phones. This time, however, I’m taking the iPhone 15 Plus and Galaxy S24 Plus for a spin to see which one is the better phone for photography.
When it comes to the hardware, the Galaxy S24 Plus offers a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. That telephoto camera is key because the iPhone 15 Plus doesn’t have a dedicated one — the iPhone's camera setup features a 48MP main shooter paired with a 12MP ultrawide lens. However, you shouldn’t count out the iPhone 15 Plus just yet because it leverages pixel binning with the main camera to give it optical quality performance when zooming to 2x.
