Switiching it up from the usual DCA, I decided to spot at a windy BWI!
All shots captured with the Samsung S24 camera

Very nice! As a phone spotter myself, I appreciate seeing these. I don’t know how far away you were, but the quality is pretty good. Do you think the S25 or iPhone 16 is a better camera?

I was pretty close to the airport, I was near the Thomas A. Dixon Jr Aircraft Observation park, just short of runway 33L.
I haven’t used any yet, but i’d assume Saumsung, as their cameras have historically had the edge over iPhone cameras.
According to ChatGPT, Samsung produces clearer and sharper images, while iPhone produces realistic, clean shots
I can confirm, I’ve had both samsung and apple
phones before and samsung blows apple out of the water in terms of camera quality.
It’s really not even close.

Well heres a side by side comparison of my shot and his shot taken at about the same distance:

Samsung S25 -
Looks pretty close to me…

That’s quite the comparison… in my case, the A20N was about 250-400ft above us, do you know how far off the ground was the A20N in your shot?
Samsung’s camera (in this comparison) seems much sharper than the iPhone’s.
Samsung clears and it’s not even close. I didn’t even need to look at the titles and I could’ve told you which phone took which photo.
I have the iPhone 14 right now and my old Galaxy S9 would blow my current phone out of the water.

I was using an S24, the S25’s camera is slightly better than the 24’s
I see a 717, I like! A simple as that
