Firstly it's a small smartphone sensor and secondly it's only 12MP.
I was getting very excited with the video quality of the s23U, but when he put up the pictures of the birds about 1/2 way through, the background was horrendous. it was a pixelated blur, not smooth blur like a real camera would give. I am not sure if this can be fixed via software updates etc...but it was terrible.
A big +1
I visit my local nature preserve 2-3 x a week, especially during the migration of waterfowl and have never seen anyone use a smartphone. Why? For me it's simple: no evf, screen washout, shutter lag, little to no zoom (vs a 65-90X optical zoom on p&s bridge cameras). Those clip on lenses are poor. Save the smartphone for selfies.
May not look good for those how had seem what a big camera can do, but for anyone with just a phone this is excellent. It's just a phone 9mm thick, what more can you ask?
To have my fake blurred background to be done correctly. My iPhone has the same feature but it does it better. Nothing beats real bokeh, but if you are going to fake it, fake it good.
Your iphone is 10 years behind that photos, but lets focus on a bit more fake looking then the already fake looking blur on the iphone, that btw can be adjusted by preference, now let us see your iphone details/textures/denoise/sharpening/artifacts and lets compare with that or other 10x samples?
All comments are welcomed!
Sure, look at the background on this photo...smooth, not pixelated. There is even pixelation in your budgiebird photo. The blur from the S23 Ultra is very pixelated and square blocks are forming the background in those pictures. Seriously..if you cannot see that, take up another hobby. The video footage from the phone is very good however.Your iphone is 10 years behind that photos, but lets focus on a bit more fake looking then the already fake looking blur on the iphone, that btw can be adjusted by preference, now let us see your iphone details/textures/denoise/sharpening/artifacts and lets compare with that or other 10x samples?
Or even this 3x one,

From my old iPhone 11 btw...
Not totally sure about the level of background blur simulation on the iPhones, if you can change the intensity or not, but this is a very common feature. You apply to your taste, so if you don't like the level other person chose for his photos that's your problem.
