Apple Intelligence vs Android AI!
Science & Technology
Introduction
Apple has recently launched its new Apple Intelligence feature for the iPhone Pro models, leading to a comparison with leading Android counterparts—the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. The capability of these devices to process photos in challenging conditions is of particular interest. We tested the camera performance of each phone using three different scenarios, each with varying difficulty levels, to determine which technology offers the superior photo editing features.
Photo Challenge 1: Crowded Scene
In the first scenario, we analyzed a photo featuring numerous people walking around. The task was to select certain subjects within the image. Apple’s automatic highlighting feature promptly identified the subjects for removal, allowing users to simply tap on the unwanted figures. This selection process is streamlined and user-friendly, placing Apple ahead of its competitors. In contrast, the Pixel and Samsung devices required manual selection of subjects, followed by a deletion process. Upon zooming in on the final results, it became evident that Apple managed a cleaner and more precise removal than both the Pixel and Samsung models. As surprising as it may be, Apple earned the point in this instance.
Photo Challenge 2: Iconic Landmark
The second challenge involved a photo of the Taj Mahal, which contained multiple distracting elements in the background. Both the Samsung and Apple devices performed impressively well in this test, effectively eliminating the unwanted objects. However, the performance of the Pixel fell short when compared to these two competitors.
Photo Challenge 3: Hidden Details
The third and most complex challenge featured a photo where half of my face was obstructed by a phone. Here, Apple struggled; it was unable to reconstruct the visible part of the face or process the request effectively. Additionally, the Pixel device issued an error, signaling that it couldn’t handle human subjects in this scenario. Surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy passed this test with flying colors, successfully reconstructing the missing section of the face. This unexpected result highlighted Samsung's superior AI capabilities in a situation where the other two struggled.
In conclusion, while Apple has made impressive strides with its latest intelligence features, Samsung’s performance in complex scenarios was surprisingly robust. With ongoing advancements, it will be intriguing to see if Apple Intelligence can surpass Android AI in future iterations.
