iPhone XR vs. Galaxy S10E camera comparison By CNET

The iPhone 10 are in galaxy s. Tinny are wonderful phones bestowed upon us by the Apple and Samsung phone maker gods. Each has the majesty and grandeur of the iPhone 10 s and Galaxy S 10 for the most part, just not the price. In fact, both phones cost just 750 dollars which isn't cheap but isn't $1000 either both come in blue. But what I'm interested in is the cameras. The iPhone 10 R has the exact same main camera as the iPhone 10 s.

It just lacks the telephoto camera. The Gauss destiny has two of the three galaxy s: 10 rear cameras like the iPhone 10 R. It's missing a dedicated telephoto lens, so I took both of these phones out around San Francisco for the past few weeks to test and compare I have a confession to make I Patrick Holland fell really hard for the galaxy s. Tennis wide-angle, camera Hey, look, look, I, know, I, know way, L key. They got wide angles too, but this one is just so much fun to use, and I love the results: hey Jim q, the wide-angle footage, haha Jim, you son of a gun.

That's a great montage, so the reason I like this ultra-wide camera. So much is the perspective it gives me. I could take a picture of the main camera and then take the same photo with the ultra-wide and it just kind of distorts things a little. It kind of bends things, and it's really cool and kind of fresh point of view. Also, it's great for when I'm in a tight spot, here's a photo I took of a statue of k2so4 Star Wars.

It was probably about seven feet tall or so, but with the main camera I couldn't get the statue entirely in the frame. I tap on the icon, switch to the ultra-wide and BAM k2s Oh is all there. Samsung did a great job matching the main and ultra-wide cameras. Colors and exposures are similar, despite them being very different lenses, but you know what the ultra-wide lens isn't. The only thing I like about the cameras on the galaxy s 10a.

It seems to me that Samsung kind of tweaked the recipe a bit on the HDR and the scene optimizations and I kind of like it better than last year's phones. Samsung, has a history of making photos a little too bright, but the galaxy s, 10 e, finds a better balance between the shadows and contrast. Okay, on the other hand, the iPhone 10 R does a fantastic job at balancing exposure and details. It's weakness, though, is color okay, sometimes it's the white balance seems a little off, and you can kind of adjust that other times it just seems like it has trouble with colors that are green or blue or greenish blue or blueish green. You know, I mean hey, take a look at these photos of the Giants game, the grass and this shot from the iPhone 10.

Are it just looks weird I, don't know if it's from the stadium lighting or what? But oh it did not look like that. The photo from the s10 looks more true to life. It's the way. I saw it with my eyes: hey overall, the iPhone 10 our shoots photos that are really sharp and have lots of detail. That's not to say the galaxy s.

Tinny is soft, and it's kind of soft, it's just dotted as clinically sharp as the iPhone, but at the end of the day, it's not about optical perfection. So much as what you prefer. Here's another photo this one of a Stormtrooper costume at Quasars. Both photos look very similar but notice. The black armor around the shoulder, the iPhone 10 our photo has more detail and sharpness knows the theme and the s10 e-version looks softer hey.

Both of these phones could shoot RAW images. However, with the iPhone you got to use a third-party app now as someone who always likes to do a little light editing on his photo before I post them, I thought I'd, give it a try with each of these phones. I took a photo of the Yoda fountain in the Presidio and I wanted to see if I can make the Jedi Master look a little less well on the dark side. Impressively JPEGs from both phones have enough information that I can boost the shadows without getting too much noise. Here's the one from the iPhone and here's the one from the destiny.

Let's move away from shadows and talk about lens flare, the main camera on the Gauss destiny. It gets a lot of lens flare here. Take a look at these photos of the Ferry Building notice, the lens flare and the photo of the s10 II. Now take a look at the one from the iPhone.10 are also why we're here notice of the iPhone 10 ours HDR made the sky the perfect blue. Some of you may like that.

But it's not always the case. For me, there are a lot of times when I really like the iPhones HDR, but there are other times like the blue sky left photo where it's just a bit much and yet that's kind of where we're at with computational photography in 2019. It does help a lot of things, but it's far from perfect: hey both of these phones have portrait mode on them, which is no surprise, but they don't have a telephoto lens, so they use different ways to accomplish those portrait photos. The iPhone uses software. The limitation is, you can only take portraits of people.

This Darth, Maul lamp couldn't fool. The iPhone 10 are enough to take a portrait photo. However, since the galaxy s Minnie uses both the main camera and the ultra wide-angle camera Darth Maul finally has some bouquet. In fact, I can even select a color to highlight, while making the rest of the photo black and white hey at the end of the day. I prefer portrait mode photos from the iPhone 10 are there's better detail and the skin tones look more accurate on the galaxy guests any even if you turn the beauty mode, all the way down.

Portrait photos still look a tad soft, but you know what let's talk about: low-light the galaxy destiny, its main camera has that dual aperture, so it can switch from a narrow aperture to a wider one to let more light it, and that, coupled with this new bright night scene, optimization can yield some pretty dang good low-light photos. Here's a shot of an intersection outside oracle park, the galaxy s 10 a photo has a nice dynamic range, though it suffers a bit from motion blur. The iPhone 10 r is more contrasting and dark a neither of these phones has a dedicated night sight mode or night mode, like the Google, pixel 3 or the Huawei p 30 pro. But if I had to pick one for low-light shots, I got to give the edge to the galaxy s 10 II. But let's talk video for a very long time.

The iPhone has had a much better quality of video than Android phones in terms of image, quality and low light, but the galaxy s tinny has made some pretty big improvements over last year and well. I was kind of surprised by it until something happened. Well, kinda! Well, hey! Let's stop by my desk I'll, explain so welcome to my desk. So here's the galaxy s tinny and here's one of the videos I shot on it. Let's take a look.

Here's the video I shot like Galaxy. Yes to me, it looks perfect on the phone. Here's a copy of the video I downloaded and here's how it looked on the phone, see the difference. The one I download it's missing the saturation. It's missing the contrast.

It seems to me like it's missing a lot. So I'm not exactly sure what happened here, but I know. After four tries we got a version of the video file to download I'm, still working with Samson, to figure things out and with that back to the studio and despite the video download hiccup and honestly, that's all I think this is I'm pretty impressed with the video from the galaxy s.10 II, but I still feel the iPhones video looks better in daylight in low-light and in slo-mo. Okay, so considering everything we just talked about, which phone do I think has a better camera system. I think the iPhone 10 art is technically better in many ways, but I cannot stop taking photos with the galaxy s tinny, it's just so much fun, and it feels so inspired by it.

And what's this the Huawei P 30 Pro yeah, oh boy, things just got complicated. No, it's got like 50 times. Zoom Jim I can see your pores ooh. You may want to.
