iPhone XS Max vs iPhone X Camera - This Might Surprise You By Jonathan Casey

Apple recently dropped the iPhone 10 s and the 10 s Max, and one of the biggest questions that I personally had been how much better is the camera quality over the iPhone 10, the iPhone 10 was a great camera, but they talked about how much better the iPhone 10 s is. And, of course you have a lot of marketing hype. So I want to put all the marketing hype aside and compare these two cameras to find out what is the deal, but before we do that, let's just go ahead and run the sponsor. This video is brought to you by color, where, with tons of color combinations for several devices, cuddle wear makes it easy to customize your tech, whether you want paint or a wrap click.

So on paper, if you're looking at the iPhone 10 in 10s, there are nearly identical devices.

In fact, a lot of people would probably think they're getting the same phone if they're upgrading from an iPhone 10. But there are some subtle differences within the camera, then I'm going to go over real, quick, for instance, the iPhone 10s and 10s Macs have a larger sensor with larger microns, going all the way up to 1.4, which is capable of producing better low-light images, at least that's what Apple has stated, there's also the addition of smart HDR, which is supposed to work better than standard HDR, but not only for stills, but also video stabilization has been improved with the addition of software stabilization on the front side portrait mode. Now has the ability to use software algorithms and is no longer completely reliant on hardware. Also, you can adjust the both or depth of field after you have taken the image which, according to Apple, has to do with the a12 chip. Therefore, it's not going to be trickling down the line to the iPhone 8, 8, + or iPhone.10. There's also some other differences between these two phones, but I'm, more interested in performance and image quality.

So, let's go ahead and dive in to these samples. You beautiful people when it comes to photos taken during the day with plenty of light. There isn't too much of a difference. What I gathered is that the iPhone 10 tends to control flares a bit better, produces better contrast in each photo, which also makes the images appear slightly sharper from time to time. However, due to the amount of processing going on, that makes that contrast happen as well as the sharpness when zoomed in even in photos with plenty of light, you could still see some artifacts, the iPhone 10 s tends to produce more flares, which can result in a washed-out looking image, but still retains much more highlight detail due to the smart HDR feature.

In fact, I'm just going to put this out there. The amount of dynamic range, the iPhone 10 s is capturing, is absolutely incredible, and it reminds me a lot of the pixel ? images from the iPhone 10. S tend to have less contrast, however, are still very sharp and at times sharper than the iPhone 10, plus the iPhone 10 s tends to have far fewer artifacts and noise and the darker parts of the images the iPhone 10 produces darker blue skies, whereas the iPhone 10 s has a lighter blue gradient. That almost appears like a teal and orange LUT has been applied to the images. Typically, the iPhone 10 lands on the warmer side, but it's honestly so close that I would say it's 50/50.

One thing I noticed is that the iPhone 10 adds more magenta to skin tones, whereas iPhone 10 s adds more warmth. For me personally, I prefer the warmer skin tones over the magenta skin tones, but I guess it's all. Going to come down to personal preference. Now, let's go ahead and take a look at the portrait mode performance during the day which the results were quite interesting: front-facing portrait mode images on the iPhone SE s have better background separation, since the both can be adjusted. It also has better edge detection, meaning that it was able to separate the subject from the background just a little better, switching things over to the rear camera things really get interesting here.

The iPhone 10 s, of course, crushes the iPhone 10 in terms of dynamic range, skin, tones and brightness, but at the same time the iPhone 10 tends to have better edge detection, but with less background separation, the rear-facing portrait mode shots are very surprising to me. Apple talked a lot about how the portrait mode has gotten a little better with the iPhone 10 s, antennas Macs, and that you're able to capture more DSLR like photos, but in my testing the iPhone 10 actually was able to separate the subject from the background much better than the iPhone 10s and 10s max I'm thinking. This has to do with the software algorithms use for portrait mode on the iPhone 10 s antennas max versus strictly Hardware with the iPhone 10. Let me know what you think down below in the comment section as I'm kind of baffled by this moving things over to low-light. The iPhone 10 produces brighter images with more noise and artifacts.

Worse, highlight detail washed out color, but overall, that washed out color is more accurate. The iPhone 10 s retains incredible, highlight detail, but at the same time produces a darker image. Overall, the sharpness and noise reduction are far better on the iPhone 10 s. Well, it also produces fewer artifacts. The images from the 10 s appear to have more contrast, but also tend to get a weird red cast over the darker green parts of the image, such as in the trees or bushes.

The iPhone 10 also did this, but nowhere near as much as the 10s, the sky, gradients, from where the light meets the darkness of the sky is also much better. On the iPhone 10 s randomly there was one photo where the iPhone 10 destroyed the 10s in terms of being brighter with less noise artifacts and producing more accurate and pleasing colors' portrait mode in low-light is another win for the 10s, but it still has its issues. The 10 has a much brighter and sharper image with more contrast, however, it's filled with noise and artifacts. The colors tend to be 50/50 on the iPhone 10 when it comes to being accurate or just flat out on pleasing the iPhone.10 s has much better noise reduction, both rendering highlight detail and colors. The downside is the skin.

Smoothing, sharpness and overall is just a darker image so that pretty much does it for stills. Let's take a look at the video recording capabilities of each of these phones, beginning with the front-facing video test. So this is a this. Is a front-facing camera test I'm looking at the iPhone 10, now lots of noise, so you can determine how well it's rejecting the noise iPhone 10s max over here, iPhone 10, Here I am seeing the iPhone tennis max has way better dynamic range, whereas the iPhone 10 is just completely blown out. The background.

Also, it's important to note that the iPhone tennis max antennas do stereo pick up in terms of microphone, whereas the iPhone 10 does not also stabilization. The iPhone 10 has max antennas. Do stabilization on the front through software, the iPhone 10 doesn't. So. Let me know in the comment section what you guys think switching things over to the rear cameras.

Again, let's take a look at how each of these cameras handle 4k, 64k 24 and some 1080p slow-motion the iPhone 10 s is much better at video recording versus the iPhone 10 and nearly every way. In fact, the HDR alone is a night and day difference between these two phones. I'll go ahead and hush and let you guys enjoy the rest of these clips. Let me know what you think down below.
