Holy fishing rod I actually bought an iPhone 11. Just for this review, video, oh, you would have loved that. Won't you and then called me? A fool no. I, actually bugged, someone for the entire day just to make this comparison. Review video, cruel, mubot. , cruel.
, hey everyone Mutual here and today, I am going to eat some apples, or maybe some apples are going to eat some Samsung's or maybe some Samsung's are going to eat some apples. What well both the Samsung note 9 and the iPhone 11. There are three cameras in total on both the phones, except for the ultra-wide, which is on the iPhone 11 and the 2X optical zoom, which is on the Samsung note 9. The other cameras are quite similar in their specifications. Now the Samsung Note 9 obviously has more features on it, but it is a year-old phone and the iPhone 11 just came out so for a lot of people.
It might get confusing which one to get seeing and weighing whether to go for more features and a more open platform which is Android or just go for the latest iPhone 11, which is obviously a benchmark when it comes to camera performances. So let's see whether the note 9 can still compete when it comes to the camera performance against the newly launched iPhone 11 or if it is a totally dud and a failure, and because it's an older phone. So let's begin with the day shots first, this first shot looks generally brighter and when I zoom in the iPhone one has more noise but details than Samsung, and now as I see, these pictures I think I should have blurred the number plates oops too late in this next shot. Also, the story is kind of same more apparent details on iPhone till you actually zoom into it, and no I did not try. Those fun rides, but I really wanted to here.
I am just showing what the extra lens on both the cameras can do. You can get creative by going ultra-wide or get closer to your subject with the Samsung. Both of the phones take panoramas too, but the iPhone one was really sharper thanks to its super speedy Bionic chip, this macro attempted shot was just a tad more detailed on the iPhone too. So unless you crop your pictures to a greater extent, you won't find a difference in your pictures stories same on these shots too, just a bit more detailed on the iPhone, but do not forget that the note 9 came a year back. I tried taking this on portrait mode from the rear cameras and entirely different results from the same distance on both of them.
The Samsung just cropped the picture too much, but the results were quite fine on it, and this is what happens when you are a team of one, and you have to take portrait shots from the rear camera alone. Your arm is your assistant and your tripod. Are you crappy Samsung, like focus mode I? Never liked you then, and I, don't like you now. The wider shot on the iPhone is perfect, and I love it. This is one mode where the iPhone 11 really excels.
Playing with different apertures was fun too, like how the Samsung's live, focus, slider works, but the results here were kind of more satisfying. But let me show you something: the edge detection was so bad that part of my head totally merged with the background I want to clarify that the background was quite far, and yet the iPhone 11 failed in taking a clear edge shot and separating them. So don't let anyone fool you when they say that Apple generally takes a lot of time in implementing new features, because they try to perfect it a lot and then only release it because clearly, in this case the iPhone 11 edge detection kind of work like how I see them work on 200, US dollars or 12,000 15,000 Indian, rupees phones. So what's the huge difference here there is none, and also this could have happened because the iPhone 11 doesn't have a depth sensor on the rear camera. But so far I haven't seen a single phone with a depth sensor and it's working flawlessly on all the shots so yeah.
That was also pointless. The shots from the front camera were also sharper on the iPhone, but actually too sharp for my taste. Trust me, my skin doesn't look that rough, otherwise I would have killed my city's pollution myself, like how cactus do - the best analogy ever nope both cams have normal and a little wider mode on the front cameras, but this is where I have never liked the note 9, it's crappy portrait mode, aka like focus mode I, have never liked its details or its functioning or its performance or its details. Ah, I think I said that one already now, let's see some video samples. This is how the video quality is from the rear camera at full, HD 30 fps.
The color science is clearly very different of both the phones, the iPhones video is clearly sharper and a tad bit more stabilized. Even the close-up shots were far more detailed. I was really impressed by the iPhone here. Both the phone can actually change their lenses while on the video mode. So on the iPhone 11, you can record on the normal mode and go wide and on the Samsung Note 9.
You can record on normal mode and just zoom in on the video shot, and this is how the video quality is from the front camera at full. HD 30fps I never liked the front cameras of Samsung phones much, but they do a fine job in videos for the stills I still don't prefer them. Surprisingly, the front cameras. Video was a bit more detailed on the note 9. The iPhone was definitely wider, but happy to see Samsung excelling here, at least when it comes to the front camera videos, so rejoice, Samsung people or Sami people or Someone.
Samsung note, 9, take slo-mo at 240 FPS at full HD and the iPhone 11 takes at the same frame per second at 720p, so yeah the details on the Samsung are better here. The iPhone 11 has one flaw, and basically I'm an iPhone noob. So maybe I am wrong here. But whenever you choose the resolution of your cameras in the settings, they will automatically be assigned to both the front and the rear cameras which is kind of odd, but I think that's how the iOS phones are when I was indoors. The macro shot had more details on the Samsung note 9, so for product photography needs.
Samsung is a better choice here and also the iPhone 11 was pretty hard to focus on the subject. When I was trying these shots, the iPhone doesn't let you select the night mode manually, so this first shot was on standard mode. For the note, 9, this area was extremely dim. So then I chose the night mode on the note 9, and we took these shots. Well, both look good until I, actually zoom in and see the picture of the iPhone is sharper.
I would say that the faster processor and faster night mode processing had here the note 9 night modes was noticeably slower. Hence, it gets really hard to hold the phone for a longer duration without shaking it here. Also, the iPhone was brighter and sharper, but in all these low-light shots, I would say the note 9 held pretty well and strong, considering it is a year-old phone. How many more times would I say that, and this Samsung one UI has totally transformed how Samsung phone work right now there are transitions and everything are so much smooth and even after year my phone is not lagging at all, which was the general perception for most of the Samsung flagship phones, but where the Samsung naturally fails again is in its low light rear facing portrait mode. This shot actually reminds me of maybe the first picture, which was ever taken on a camera phone, and it was actually that bad, so I will never be sure what is Samsung trying to achieve here with the live focus mode.
They could easily remove it if they want, as it is totally useless. In my opinion, the standard front-facing shots were still better than what it did on real life focus mode, but interesting to see here how both the companies process their pictures I look like a muffled ghost on the note, 9 shot and like a noisy ghost on iPhone 11, but yeah. Definitely a ghost in both the cases, but just maybe a pretty ghost. The Samsung makes it brighter and softer and Apple tries to retain more details, but with these huge blobs of noise on the picture, guess those tiny notes are light. Dots reflected on the face.
Wow, I made it sound, so technical, so scientist, much wow. It's quite dark right now, and this is how the video quality is from both the phones at full, HD, 30fps I feel the iPhone 11 is still going to be a little sharper, but the note 9 kinds of feels a little brighter right now, but I will need to re check them on the phone. The night video shot from the rear camera was better on the iPhone, but Samsung wasn't bad too, and I am just saying this, because I have a soft corner for Samsung note 9, as it is a year old. If you say it just one more time, I will beat the hell out of you. All right is from the front camera that same resolution.
It's evening right now, so I look worn out after my office hours is definitely wider, definitely way wider. Actually, but the front-facing video was definitely brighter on the iPhone, but I actually expected Samsung to perform awful. Seeing how crappy that light focus mode from the rear camera was, but it actually did fine in comparison. The iPhone 11 also has a variety of cool modes. — Samsung has some of them —, but meh, I, don't use any of these personally and I have never seen.
People use them after the first hundred clicks and then they just never ever try them unless there are super-high or something. So that was a long-ass comparison so, except for the live, focus or portrait mode on the Samsung Note 9, which was actually never good on the phone. The Samsung Note 9 held itself pretty good against the iPhone 11 I mean obviously the iPhone 11 videos and pictures were always a little better than the Samsung Note 9, but I will emphasize on the word little here. So clearly, if you own a Samsung, Note 9 or any s9 series phone, the iPhone 11 camera shouldn't entice you at all and if you are out there to buy a new phone, the Samsung Note 9 features, especially this stylus and open environment which is Android, should really be of more benefit to you than going for the iPhone 11. But if you are already in the Apple ecosystem, then why? The hell are you watching this video and also, if you buy the note 9, you will end up paying less than the iPhone 11, because in India definitely it is way cheaper than the iPhone 11 and also in UK, it's somewhere around 100 to 150 pounds less than the iPhone 11 and in u.
s. also it is somewhere around 50 to $60, less or maybe even more. But if you want to produce professional videos from your phone, then just go out and buy a camera. Dammit phones are not supposed to go totally professional at this stage, maybe in some years, but not yet so many users won't be able to notice a difference in the pictures and video specially on all the social media platforms, because they anyway optimize the image and video to an extent where they'll anyway look crappy. You can support my efforts on this video by hitting that, like button and subscribe for more relevant content, I will also post some affiliate links of these phones in my description, so you can also buy from there if you would like too.
And that's all for today, mubot out.
