According to DXOMARK camera test, the iPhone 14 Pro has some problems such as occasional highlight clipping in skies, luminance noise in indoor photos, occasional white balance casts on photos taken in mixed lighting and ringing around subjects in photos and videos.

Apart from this, DXOMARK reviewers praised the Galaxy S22 Ultra for its accurate subject isolation and blur gradient in bokeh mode, accurate exposure and wide dynamic range in bright light and indoor video and nice color and skin tones in video.
Not that all, the Samsung’s camera beast is capable of accurate face tracking in video and effective video stabilization when walking while recording. But still, the review platform believes that the iPhone 14 Pro is the best camera phone available in the United States with 146 points on the table.
If we talk about the DXOMARK’s Galaxy S22 Ultra review, it got just 135 points and is located on the 4th spot of best camera phones available in the US. The new iPhone 14 Pro is on top, while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are listed in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.

Samsung is considering to launch an FE-branded Galaxy Z Flip 7 next year. The company reportedly entered a review of plans to introduce an affordable foldable phone this year. There is speculation that the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE might not debut this year.
According to TheElec, Samsung has been planning to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE next year. It may be cheaper than the regular variant in favor of a downgraded display and processor. However, Samsung’s pricing strategy would be worth seeing for its first affordable Flip phone.
This year, the South Korean tech giant is expected to launch only two foldable phones. While there are no signs of a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, the Fan Edition may also be canceled in review. Therefore, an FE lineup of foldable phones – Flip and Fold will likely join the segment in 2025.
Samsung could hold the next Galaxy Unpacked on July 10 in Paris. At the event, the company may not only launch new foldable phones but the Galaxy Watch 7 series and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro could also be launched. Well, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the event so far.
We are also hearing that the Exynos 2400 might not be employed in the Galaxy Z Flip 6 this year. The company has reportedly tested it but the chip has failed to offer satisfactory results. This means the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also use Snapdragon chip internationally.
