Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra has been our runaway top pick for the best smartphone camera of 2022. That was until the powerhouse Google Pixel 7 Pro came along. These are two very different camera packages, though, taking unique approaches to solve common mobile photography issues.

For starters, the Galaxy S22 Ultra packs a 108MP 1/1.33-inch main sensor, that’s a higher resolution but actually slightly smaller than the Pixel 7 Pro’s 50MP 1/1.31-inch primary sensor. The two sport 12MP ultrawide snappers, but it’s here that Samsung takes a lead in terms of sensor size (1/2.55-inch vs 1/2.9-inch), though it has a slightly narrower field of view (120 vs 126 degrees).
