This is my camera comparison test of the new Samsung Galaxy S20 versus the iPhone 11 Pro I'm Ben from Authentic, Let's jump right in now. I bought both of these phones with my own money, no sponsorship in today's video, starting with a front-facing at video 4k 30. Now I purposely did not get that S20 Ultra for a few reasons, a's way too expensive and bulky for my pockets, plus that's what all the other YouTubers have already reviewed, but I think it's the s20 where you get the most bang for your buck, especially for the average consumer right off the bat. Both selfie cams are recording nice and sharp. Looking 4K video, which I like to see the iPhone has a wider field of view on this lens, which I prefer the iPhone skin tones are a bit wonky, though, as this is sort of common on iPhones. My skin in real life is not that red or soft looking while the s20 looks a bit more accurate and flat as for dynamic range.
The iPhone in the past has always been the clear winner, but finally, it seems the s20 has really stepped up their game, and it's doing a fantastic job as well, with maintaining some colors and clarity, and the super contrast you've seen with those bright sunlight and dark shadow areas and blacks. On my jacket now going for a quick jogging stabilization test, the s20 looks to be the winner here. While it's still jerky back and forth, we can see much more wobbles and shakes the iPhone has which I like to keep my eye on the background objects and the horizon to see which one is more stable, which one do you guys like better? This is an audio test on the galaxy s 20, and this is audio on the 11pro. Now we've got some waterfalls behind me. We've got the train going off in the background.
How does the audio sound and compare between the two audio test? One two three four left live authentic audio test, one two, three: four: let's live off that tech I'd say the s20 is doing a slightly better job at wind and ambient noise reduction. However, it's a little too strong for my taste, and it's making my voice sound a little tinny and flat. The iPhone is giving us much louder and more natural sounding vocals. However, it's at the cost of louder wind and background noise jumping to some photo comparison, starting with a few selfie shots now hands down. Both of these cameras have been some of my top favorites I've had in years and I.
Don't think you can go wrong with either in these shots notice. There's a bit more natural background blur on the s20, which I kind of like when I switch over to portrait mode on each I think they both look pretty good with fairly nice edge detection and again, the iPhone is making my skin a little too reddish, while the s20 has that more natural real to life look now switch into the rear-facing triple camera setups. These are really fun to compare, side-by-side and I've always been a huge fan of the ultra-wide lens, creating that immersive fresh perspective shot the primary lens on each is 26 millimeters, both at 12 megapixels, F 1.8. Both of these look really nice and sharp, with beautiful, colors, good, dynamic range, fantastic, looking white balance and clarity is honestly pretty insane for a smartphone camera and as for the telephoto lens, this is where it gets a little tricky. The s20 is what Samsung calls three times: hybrid optic, zoom, and basically, what I don't think a lot of people realize myself included.
This is where the 64 megapixel camera is, and as for the lens. Well, it's just a little tighter field of view than that primary lens. So all that extra zoom range is mostly digital zoom. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing, because, with that same 64 megapixels, this s20 can also record a K video which I had no idea. That 8k was only on the s20 ultra, but it's here as well in all these shots, as I continue to zoom in you'll, see that the iPhone maxes out at 10 times zoom, the s20 can go all the way up to 30x and while it still gets pretty pixelated and sorta unusable.
At that extent, we can clearly see just how much sharper that, as 20 looks over the iPhone, it's kind of like night and day difference and again just because the camera allows us to zoom. All the way into 30x doesn't mean we have to, but to just go third or halfway produces excellent shots for my eyes, sticking to around the 10x zoom maximum is an incredible range to have and from 0.5 to 10x the images and even video as you'll, see in a minute look perfect and look at this, as I zoom into the downtown map sign it's really fun and impressive to see how much more clarity we have on this 20 with all those extra megapixels going to work for us, I heard rumors that the next iPhone 12 Pro might have a 64 megapixel sensor. This would be great to see when we're zoomed out on the ultra-wide and the primary lens I think both of them looked pretty dang awesome. Now this was another fun example: switching through the lenses and sensors from ultra-wide down to ultra zoomed in on that rocket, it's quite the difference in resolution now, speaking of those 64 megapixels, this was another big feature. I hadn't heard anyone really talking about and on the s20 we can snap full resolution photos at 64 megapixels, so with the ratio 4 by 3.
This is a resolution of 92 48 by 69 36 at first I thought this was a little cheesy and maybe a party gimmick, but I was wrong as soon as I snapped, some side-by-sides versus the 12 megapixel iPhone and then start zooming way in it's again a big difference in terms of sharpness clarity and resolution. At the end of the day, though, megapixels only go so far and there's many other important features, I like to focus on like dynamic range in this flower shot. It's a good example. We can see these tiny little white specks on the flower, which I think are pollen dots kind of amazing for the s20. However, the exposure is blown out on some of those key highlight details.
Here's a few low-light shots first on the ultra-wide and the silly iPhone can't do night shot on the ultra-wide lens, while the s20 s looks perfect competition evens out a bit on the primary lens, but the iPhone is still leaning a bit too warm of its white bounce, while the s 20 hit it more accurately with the clean white LED light, plus it's sharp and nice looking and the telephoto lens will another win for the s 20. In my opinion, and while the iPhone shot doesn't look terrible, I feel like the S 20 looks just a tad sharper. This is a rear-facing 4k 30 video test has a to look and compare ultra-wide honestly as you'll see in the video footage. Both of these phones produce really beautiful shots that sharpness and clarity. Looks good on both the ultra wise and even the colors and dynamic range are nice as well, though I noticed in just a few specific examples here.
The iPhones video wins for better HDR, just look at the crazy bright sunlight, for example, and the blown-up circle is smaller. On the iPhone, however, a big caveat wherever there's motion involved like wobbling the camera around the iPhones HDR causes some pretty gnarly HDR flickering that I've commented on before, and it can look pretty bad. Sometimes it's much harder to notice on the s20, while I'm here jogging I'd vote the iPhones ultra-wide as producing, though a slightly smoother stabilization. Funny enough, it's the Samsung's that have touted that super, steady mode, and I'll complain about it again. It's only for 1080p video, even on this as 20, it does not work in 4k, which is a major bummer.
Now I, don't understand why we can't have super steady 4k on that 64 megapixel sensor that can shoot up to 8k video there's plenty of canvas resolution for EIS right. Well. If the 1080p doesn't bother you, then the s20 super steady produces some pretty cool, smooth, almost gimbals, looking shots which is fun to use. Moving on, as I zoom into the docs I'd say, the iPhones 2 x, telephoto lens, still looks perfect and the s20 has that farther reach and zoom, which can be a nice option to have switching to the primary lens. They both again look great, the HDR and colors look nice and when jogging around I'd say, the s20 has a little too much glitchy jittering in its stabilization.
While the iPhone looks a bit smoother, it still has that bad HDR flickering effect, I'd really like to see improved optical image stabilization in both of these phones in this spot. Let me quick pause and show you the highlight and fall-off comparison between my shiny skin reflection and the sunlight, and personally I'd vote. The iPhone looks a bit better. The s20 is blowing out a bit too much of my skin. Here's another shot, starting ultra-wide, the medium lens and then the telephoto, and even though the s20 has that farther zoom range, it just looks okay, sometimes it's not an optical zoom, whereas an iPhone has that two times telephoto lens.
So it's still able to produce some nice clarity at that.2X range. It's funny because 99% of the time when these photos or videos are going to be shared on smartphones and social medias, no one is even gonna. Tell the difference in my patent-pending autofocus test. The results are so close: I have to slow the footage way down and frame by frame I was able to notice the s20 was faster to respond to start hunting for focus, but it was oddly, the iPhone that more often snapped and locked on to the accurate focus plane, just a few frames faster than the s20, but sometimes at ISO. There you go as for slow-motion.
Both cameras can record up to 240 FPS at 1080p and I. Think I, like the quality of the s20 a tad better, but for bonus points as 20 can also record up to 960 fps. That's almost a thousand frames per second, and we can literally count and see the individual specks of water, which is pretty awesome. Now resolution is only 720p, but I'll still take it, and we can't forget a little low-light video starting with the ultra-wide and they both look really dark and grainy. However, the iPhone is really loud with noise.
If you can see it plus it's white balances off again on the primary lens I'd vote, the s20, the winner as it's a little more real to life. Looking and sparking a solid balance between color sharpness and noise reduction, jumping to the telephoto. The results are simply magnified, while neither of them looked great in this super dark room. I'd say the s.20S clarity wins by just a hair final results. Who do you guys think is the winner? It's pretty dang close I, think I'd, say four photos I'd, probably pick the s20.
Now all these were shot in Auto and between the different lenses, the 64 megapixel full resolution and I didn't even get to show you the full manual controls we have on the s20 app, which I think is so much better than the iPhone and when it comes to video, it's almost a toss-up, the 8k videos locked at 24 FPS on the s20, and it's pretty bad autofocus and jello effects. So it's not that usable unless it's a locked-off tripod, but the 4k 30 looks really great on each HDR and saturation is beautiful. Autofocus is very close. Tie the s20 has manual video exposure controls, which is really awesome. I personally will be sticking with the s20 for at least a few more weeks for my in-depth review make sure you stay tuned for that, as I've been on the iPhone for the past six or nine months, so it'd be fascinating to see all the pros and cons plus stay tuned for my other camera comparisons of the s20 Versa note 10, plus and Google Pixel.
For until I see you guys next time, let's live authentic.
