Hey everybody I have to go meet the Samsung Galaxy S 20 ultra. Now this film has been making headlines all around for its insane. Specs like the numbers are just cars, are dropping in terms of how big the numbers are like one, no 8 megapixel, 120 Hertz refresh rate five thousand million our battery, like all the numbers just pop off the spec sheet, especially if you live in America and the only phones. You can compare this to it's an iPhone or Google Pixel, but if you live outside America, or particularly you live in Asia. You already know that there is a challenger to the Samsung Galaxy S 20 ultra. This is the Opel fine, x2 Pro, and really this is the only phone on the market right now that can match the s.20 alt, respect, respect I mean almost that's: 20 Ultra still wins in some areas, but for the most part the Opel Phoenix team matches up very well. So this screen right here, it's a six point, seven inch OLED panel quad HD resolution, and it is also 120 Hertz refresh rate.
It is super smooth, like I'm, spoiled man. After using this and that's what the ultra I don't want to go back to a 60 Hertz screen, because I also have here on me the whoa I'm 8x, and while this phone is still stunning to me, I'm really annoyed by the 60 Hertz refresh away like it just looks Jacky to me now after having used beast to 120 Hertz beasts, so buff way, screens awesome, you notice the designs quite similar today. Both have a hole-punch display, Byronic Lee opal is the one with the curvier screen now Samsung's, actually kind of moved away from that curved edge that Samsung invented. But now the Gaussian 20 ultra does panel is actually kind of flat. It is still a little of curvature on the side, but nowhere near as drastic as the OPPO find X 2 I'm.
Definitely not like the waterfall panels on the Huawei Mate 30 pro or a V phone x3. Now around the back, there's also a periscope zoom lens on the opal fine x2 I mean that shouldn't be a surprise, because Opel technically pioneered this technology, Opel first teased the zoom lens back in 2017 before putting it into a commercial device. Last May that was the Opel. We know 10-time zoom. So, while the basic technology of this periscope, it's the same as the lens found in open, we know to have Zoom and the same as the space assume right here, meaning basically it's a lens.
That's placed sideways in the phone so that when you capture images, images can travel sideways through a series of magnifying glasses before it reaches the image signal, processors somewhere right here. The reason it's placed sideways is so the image have more room to travel, because if you place it straight ahead, then you only have this much room to travel. Whether you go sideways, you have this much room that allows the phones to get the zoom shot style just way better than anything. A traditional lens can do like on the iPhone 11 core I'm going to show you some samples later, it's not even close. I'll be using both of these phones for over a week now, I've actually taken it out and about took a lot of photos.
So what I'm going to do right now is show you some photos samples, so you can see the difference between these two phones. If there are any I'm, also going to compare some photos with the iPhone 11 crow just because this is the main phone that everybody defaults to when it comes to referencing a smartphone. Now, let's go over to Yeah specs again, aside from the periscope zoom lens on the Samsung Galaxy s, 20 I'll show you have a 12 megapixel wide-angle camera here. I mean everybody calls this ultra-wide. But to me that's just the wide-angle camera base.
This is the main camera, but whatever everybody's calling ultra-wide, so we'll call it ultra-wide, and then we have a standard main camera here, that's 108 megapixels! It's the same sensor used in the Xiaomi me know.10 except Samsung has given this sensor a much larger image sensor, because you need a larger image sensor for more pixels, because more pixels in a photo doesn't automatically mean better picture unless you have more light coming in, and you have a TOF sensor here that allows you to get okay images, but, to be honest, it's okay I mean the bouquet images here on any better than on a pixel, for you have to periscope the zoom lens. So now in the finest two Pro you have that periscope zoom lens here and yet here a forty-eight megapixels, wide-angle camera and down below. You also have a forty, a megapixel sensor, but this is the newest Sony. Six, eight nine now Opel says it worked with solely to develop the sensor specifically for the Phoenix -. So the sensor like I'm, not talking about the forty-eight megapixels now, but the light sensor, underneath it's actually the largest ever seen in opal a smartphone or any 48, megapixel, smartphone and synthesize one over one point: four inch, not the Samsung sensor is still larger, but that's spread out over one hundred, eight megapixels.
So, for the most part, they're about equal, and I'm, just going to spoil it I think the opal Phoenix is a little better in low light performance. Alright, for this first test, we can go easy. Let's do a standard 1x photo under great lighting conditions of the beautiful Hong Kong skyline. Now you notice that all three phones produced a beautiful shot, which was to be expected, given the optimal lighting conditions. Let's use this as a reference image for the next set of shots, so for the second test we will do wide-angle shot now.
The first thing you'll notice, is that the field of vision of the findings to full just does not go as wide as the Samsung Galaxy s4, the ultra and the iPhone will ever pull. This is very similar to what Wall is doing because remember to meet the retro of all I basically made the wide-angle camera in the standard camera at the same pixel count, so the image can be more consistent, and that is the same case here with the fine x2 quo now you're. Looking at all three of these winding the images they look good, but if you crop closer and look at the center and look at the edges, the fine extreme close image is sharper and more detailed than the other. Two phones that's to be expected, because the finish to go is a forty, eight megapixel wide-angle camera, while the Samson, Garcia shorty ultra, has a 12 megapixel wide-angle camera. That's a huge drop-off in OneNote, eight megapixels with the main.
So if you want a wide-angle image that keeps the integrity of the photo, the best keeps all the details and allows you to crop in without seeing I guess blurriness. You probably want to go over the winding with camera off the local findings to over the other. Two phones, I mix up we're going to go into 10x zoom from that exact same spot. So this is where you see the iPhone 11 Pro just completely loses that image is blurry and noisy, whereas the s20 ultra and the findings to cool both capture tape, pretty sharp and crisp image. This is a really damn good.10X zoom photo, but you see the s20 ultra. The image is a lot brighter now.
I think this is just down to software algorithm right here, because the periscope technology is the same for two cameras but Samsung's ten times. Zoom is consistently better lit than opals ten times zoom, but at the same time, Oakland I'm zoom is just as sharp and just as detailed. Now we switch to another location. Let's look at the 30 times zoom. So one of the things I really like about the Samsung galaxies camera is that when you tap on the zoom button, you have all these buttons down below that allows you to Amelie jump between 30x or 10x or 100x immediately, and the switch between the zoom seems to move pretty fast.
I. Remember when I first tested to the s20 ultra 2 weeks ago, there was a little lag whenever you jump into 100x, but not anymore. Samsung has fixed it. But again you look at the two samples the s20 ultras 30x zoom is just brighter than the finest two pros, but still just the fact that you can zoom in that far and get something: that's not a blurry mess. It's amazing the opal fine 30 times.
Zoom is still really, really damn good. It just looks a little dim compared to the s20 ultra 30 times zoom. Now, ironically, when you dial up the zoom past 30 like say you go to 60 times zoom, then the OPPO actually wins. You see right here, it's Samsung's 60 times is still brighter, but this is a blurry. Mess was Opel.60 X still looks pretty good, even though again he's a little dim, but at least is sharply, so you can see that dude's face on now we move on to night shots. This is shot with night mode of the CD Center in Kowloon.
The s20 ultra shot is the most aesthetically pleasing overall, but Samsung's post-processing also completely changed the temperature of the photo in real life. The scene was a lot warmer like the lights are more yellow like on the iPhone 11 close image, but the Samsung Galaxy S 20 ultra made everything, look, cool and blue all right. Now we move on to pitch back condition. So I took this picture in my bedroom, with all the lights turned off and just a little of light coming through from the window from outside, and you'll, see, Samsung's night mode is once again a mess. I, don't know why Samsung just can't get a night mode correctly, but this is terrible.
They look at the yellow, post-it notes up above its blurry and just the image is yellow for no reason. Apple's image is pretty good, but opals nightmare. It's the best of the three. Now we move on to selfies I, don't usually like taking selfies by I. Guess I have to test it like it's the same story here, Apple selfies is by far the most natural.
That's how I look like in real life, whereas Opel and Samsung both did a little digital processing and beautification Samsung is the worst culprit. Look at how Samsung captured my face it basically smoothes up and whitened my skin now looking at edge detection. All three phones did pretty good in terms of bouquet effects around my body and my face, but all three messed up my hair at the top I can't blur it out the top of my hair when it wasn't supposed to, but that's a very difficult shot to get right, I, don't think any smartphone can do it. You probably need a real camera for that now we move on to portrait shots with the main camera. Not the Samsung, Galaxy S 20 ultra as mentioned, has a really large image sensor to make up.
For that one note, eight megapixels, and because the sensor is so wide open, that means the phone has. A very shallow depth of field has a very narrow focus area. A bunch of other people have already mentioned this. That means, when you take photos of the Galaxy s4, the ultra, you need to keep the object at the right distance. If you're too close it'll get blurry you'll be too far back, it will get blurry autofocus on this phone is a little lacking right now, although Samsung it's promising a fix, but you see that is definitely affecting this image right here.
You look at the s20 ultras image yeah at the body image around the cat's body is good. The backgrounds of blur, but so is the cat's face. That cat's face is not clear, because our focus so in one area the find X two wins in is in night videography. So OPPO engineers basically worked hard to develop this new nighttime shooting mode that uses image information from all three sensors, a lot of AI algorithms to artificially dial up the ISO. So you get a brighter image and just looking at these two videos side by side, it's not even close! So that's all there.
For this compare of the OPPO find x2 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S 20 ultra. These are two most powerful Android handsets by farming. Now, although the YP for you pull, is just around the corner so while applying some tricks up his sleeves but right now, these are the two best you can get and the screens are just amazing, and I want to mention. I know the Samsung Galaxy S from the ultra screen gets a lot of hype, but Opel finds two screens is, in my opinion, just as good, even when you step outside under direct sunlight I can see both of them about equally, so they get about the same level of brightness anyway. That's it for now, I'm going to have more videos coming up, including a full review of the s20 ultra and a full review at Opel, thanks to, and I'm, probably on the Garcia's, the lip and the wall I'm an X I mean I know this phone is already a year old, but I'm gonna use this as my daily driver and give you guys my real-world experience.
