Many of you are interested in the question, whose camera takes better photos — iPhone 11 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. We are offering to you
Camera Comparison
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, like the iPhone, hasmulti-objective rear camera. This is a wide-angle camera with 108 megapixels, an ultra-wide-angle camera with 12 megapixels, a telephoto lens with 48 megapixels and a DepthVision camera for portrait shooting.
For comparison, the iPhone has12 megapixel ultra-wide camera, 12 megapixel wide-angle camera and 12 megapixel telephoto camera. Now let's start comparing…
Portrait mode
Regarding photos in portrait mode,The Galaxy S20 Ultra wins with its depth sensor. There's not much difference, but photos from the S20 Ultra look sharper and edge detection — better. The iPhone wins when it comes to dynamic range, and the S20 Ultra seems to have some desaturation in some images, but overall the S20 Ultra wins in this category.
Standard camera tests
When it comes to standard photos withusing three different lenses on each camera, I would rather prefer iPhone images for the most part, because the iPhone offers a more balanced color and better dynamic range, but much comes down to personal preference.
The S20 Ultra seems to overexposure glare on images with the sun and clouds, which leads to too much contrast. In images with less dynamic lighting, the results are similar.
The exception here is the ultra-wide-angle camera. The S20 Ultra simply produces a sharper ultra-wide-angle image, while the iPhone — softer image.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra has some twists onwhich are worth paying attention to, for example, the 100X “Space Zoom” feature. The iPhone 11 Pro Max peaks at 10x digital zoom. The S20 Ultra clearly wins here, although you won’t be able to get a lot out of the 100x magnification photos.
What’s impressive is the photos taken at 30x magnification. 30x Samsung pictures are sharper than 10x Apple photos.
There is also a “Single Take” feature that takesphotos and videos from different angles, and then lays out a bunch of different options, such as boomerang video, images with filters, video with music and much more.
We need to mention also this huge108 megapixel camera. It can provide crisp, detailed photos that are great if you need to crop them, and they have a great depth of field for a nice bokeh background.
108 megapixel camera provides largefile sizes, so you should not use this lens often. Fortunately, Samsung has built in a feature that allows you to take more reasonable 12-megapixel photos.
Night mode
Both phones have night mode, and both nightmodes work pretty well. On the Galaxy S20 Ultra, this is the mode you need to turn on because it is not turned on by default, which for many users may seem a little troublesome.
iPhone seems to have better HDR processing andprovides a more stable photo in extremely low light conditions. In situations with a bit more light, both phones produce good images.
Video comparison
One of the main new features of the Galaxy S20 Ultrais 8K video, which is higher quality than the 4K video offered by the iPhone. The S20 Ultra's 8K video looks great, but image stabilization is poor, which means that this feature is not as good as it sounds on paper.
When comparing 8K video with the S20 Ultra with 4K video,shot on the iPhone 11 Pro (at 24 frames per second, because that's the maximum for the S20), the S20 Ultra's cropping ratio and lack of stabilization are very noticeable.
Comparing 4K video (at 60 frames per second), both cameras work the same in terms of stabilization and focus, although the iPhone 11 Pro Max seems a little more stable.
Selfie camera
As for the front camera, the Galaxy S20The Ultra has a 40-megapixel selfie camera with f/2.2 aperture, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 12-megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture. You might think that a 40MP camera is significantly better, but we didn't see much of a difference between the S20 Ultra and the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Samsung really has a “beauty mode” that we turned off, while the iPhone doesn't have a similar mode.
Conclusion
In short, as in most comparisonscameras for smartphones, there is no winner. Both the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the iPhone 11 Pro Max are equipped with good cameras that can take amazing photos in good lighting conditions.
iPhone wins when it comes todynamic range and video stabilization, but the S20 has better portrait photography. Standard point-and-shoot images will come down to personal preference.
