realme 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra: 108MP BEAST for under £300! By GadgetsBoy

How's it going everyone, it's gadgets boy, welcome to another video now smartphone cameras are getting perfect, like perfect, fast-forward to 2021, and you don't even have to spend that much money to get a perfect, smartphone camera for your money. This is the Realme eight pro in a lot more detail, and we're going to be comparing that 108 megapixel camera uh shooter on there with another flagship device uh, which is the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra the Rome 8 pro, has a 108 megapixel ultra quad camera with Samsung hm2 sensor. I use this a Qualcomm snapdragon 720g mobile platform. It's got eight gigs of ram 128 gigs of UFS 2.1 internal storage, support, 50, watts, super dark charge, so 17 minutes of charge gets you up to 50. You have 4 500 million power battery that lasts all day long. A 6.4 inch super AMOLED display with 1000 nits of peak brightness. You have in display fingerprint sensor and 180 hertz touch sampling rate and Realme UI 2.0. If you want to see more on the realm 8 pro check out the link in the video for my first impressions, video, because this one I want to focus more on the camera and also compare it to that 108 megapixel of the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra, so Samsung hm2.

This is the first rummy device equipped with 108 megapixel camera, and first you might be wondering. Why do you need something? This big two reasons for me: you can blow it up and print it and have your own work on the wall uh like if you can see just slightly behind me there. Those are stuff that I printed from a smartphone that I just blew up and printed, and they look great on the wall. Second, you can pinch into your image after the fact. So, if you took a landscape photo for example, of a skyline, you can zoom into a particular segment of that photo and actually post on social media or wherever you want to share it without losing image quality.

So those are the two main advantages for me for having such a large sensor. So the realm 8 pros primary camera uses the third generation ISO hit of Samsung sensor with 108 megapixel ultra-high pixel, with an extra large sensor of one 1.52 inch and a maximum resolution of 12 000 by 9000 hm2 is supported by the advanced ISR plus pixel isolation, technology of Samsung, adopting new material developed by fulfill to replace the metal barrier for solving the interface interference problem between the Jason pixels, which reduces the optics loss and cross collar. It guarantees a high collar fidelity and increases ISO by 15. You also get smart ISO technology that can choose the best ISO setup automatically according to the environment, no matter, if it's dark or light, you can take clear, bright, hierarchical and also colorful photos without any issues. Besides, hm2 sensor supports at nine in one pixel bin, in which enables nine adjacent 0.7 micron pixels, to be combined to simulate a large 2.1 micron pixels and improve the image quality under the dim light. You might start thinking well.

Does that mean I get the same image quality as the more expensive Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra? Well, let's find out the s21 ultra uses, Samsung's isl hm3, which supports 12-bit color depth, 0.8 micron sensor size and also uses NATO cell chroma. If you're interested in finding out more about Samsung's ISO cell technology links will be in the description area, so you can check it out and do your own research as well, but for now we're going to take both devices out on the street and actually take some photos and compare them okay. So, as you can see on the screen right now on the left, I have a folder full of s21 ultra photos and on the right we have a bunch of photos as well that I've taken using the Realme eight pro. So here we are both opened up and, as you can see on the left, we have the s21 ultra and on the right. We have the Realme eight pro, so we can zoom in and pinch to zoom on either one.

So we'll do the roomy eight pro first and if you zoom in you can see that we retained so much. A lot of detail is still left there, as you can see like the building. You know it's a lot very sharp on the corners and stuff, which is pretty cool and uh. If we go on the s21 ultra as well, and we go across, we can see the level of detail there as well, but one thing that you do notice as well, that is the s101 ultra, is a lot softer and on the roomy, eight pro on the right, uh he's a lot sharper, which is quite interesting. So again we can zoom in on the s201 ultra all the way and looking into this uh bike sort of symbol there, you can see there and then on the roommate pro we can do the same, and we can see that a lot of details if they're consuming all the way in, and it's still really nice.

You can see the barbell baba logo as well and stuff, which is interesting to see that you've paid less money for the rookie 8 pro, and you're, getting more detail with your 108 megapixel shots, as you can see very clearly there. Okay, moving on to another one, as you can see again on the right, we have roomy real me, eight pro and on the left we have the s21 ultra and if you can see on the Realme eight pro straight away, the highlights are blown out compared to the s1 or s21 ultra. But what you do get again is better color on the Realme eight pro out of the camera and also the level of detail that you get in terms of the building as well. So we can go all the way in and go up onto. In fact, let's go all the way down to the euro tech on the bus and then, if you go on the Realme on the s21 ultra, we can see the level of detail that you get in the writing.

I'll go all the way in and then on. Here we can see the difference in the detail. One is sharper than the other again for me, realm 8 pro looks much nicer to the eyes here. You can even see on the colors in terms of on the logo of the euro tech logo. There you can see the differences there, which looks much better on the Realme 8 pro.

The only thing that's lacking for me would be the highlights in the sky. So if we go back out, you can see the sky looks better there, a lot more natural on the s21 ultra, but under roomy 8 pro it's compensating somewhere and uh. You can see where that's overly blown out in that sense. Okay, let's have a look at another one, so this one's pointing straight to the sky. So there's a lot of uh, HDR and dynamic range to deal with here and a lot of shadows and highlights, and also foreground lighting as well so left again is s2n1 ultra.

So straight away. You can see that some foreground is well lit. It looks nicer in the foreground, but when you overall picture looks very well lit, but software softer it's lacking, some of that contrast and shadows, but on the roomy 8 pro you can see better shadows. I can see better contrast as well, which looks really nice, so it seems that the s21 ultra is trying to compensate for lights to make sure they get enough light in the foreground and also when you look like towards the sky as well and on the realm 8 pro. It's just trying to get you something that's natural as possible, so you can get a lot deep, a lot more detail afterwards, uh! So again, if we, if we go up to the building, which is something I really like on this one, we can see the strobe light there, which looks really nice and then on the s21 ultra you're, starting to lose detail as well.

The more you go in, and you're getting more noise in there as well uh compared to the Realme eight pro, which is quite fascinating, uh to see and compare on a computer rather than looking on the phone as well using a phone display. So you can see the color differences there. So to me, the roomy 8 pro looks a lot more natural, which is what I actually saw when I was taking this picture. Okay, something else worth looking at is low light shots using that ultra-high pixel as well and straight away. You can see the warmth in terms of color tones on the realm 8 pro on the right looks much nicer, looks warmer and on the left it looks a bit washed out, and you have to do some post-processing to actually bring that color back and some highlights as well.

Zooming in on the shots, though, to see what level of detail we have, we go all the way into the post box. Uh. You can see they're very similar here. I can't really call one over the other, although on the s21 ultra, we can actually see the writing better in terms of the restaurant Italian or something like that. I think that's what it says on the left side, whereas on the right side it looks a lot blurrier, and this is something that you notice in terms of light compass in terms of light compensation on the devices.

So I'd say the s21 takes it here for the light and level of detail, but for the Realme eight pro it doesn't. Do too bad either, and I think they're both looking great, especially when you don't bring her back all the way back in here, and you can still share this, and I mean if I was to share this on social media. I can still go in this far and still share that on Instagram, and it looks good at the same time. Another thing I wanted to compare was the portrait mode on the devices so on the realm 8 pro. You can see that you get a bit more of me in the shot as well, and it does a great job, and we look at the s21 ultra again on the left side here you can start to see the skin tone and see how natural they actually are and all the edges as well as they were captured.

So if we go in on the realm 8 pro on my face, you can see the level of details captured and edge detection. So let me just move this down, so here we are, you can see my hair, and you can see the edge. I think the s21 ultra does a better job in terms of the edge detection, because it's got that extra uh lens for doing that uh, but the roomy eight pro struggles a little there but roomy April looks sharper he's doing a lot of work in terms of sharpening my face, my skin texture, as you can see there, but in terms of color accuracy, I think they're very, very similar in terms of colors. As you can see there, I think even the hoodie color, as well as very black as it should be on both devices. So I can't really complain too much there, but edge detection could be better in fact, on both devices.

Okay, another one to look at is color in terms of just general photography and color on the left. Again is the s21 ultra and on the right is the Realme eight pro and I think the colors here uh, it's a lot more saturation when you look at the real me, eight pro, so the pink and the yellow looks a lot more they're popping uh compared to the s21 ultra, and it's a lot warmer as well on the Realme eight pro. So this for me, is just a matter of preference. If you prefer a warmer image, you go for the right. So if you prefer something, that's a lot less saturated, then you go for the left image, but either way both images are great for you to then do some post-processing to change the level of saturation.

You can change the highlights and uh change. Maybe debate it a little because of the weather here in London uh, but that's about it, but I think in terms of colors. I think they both look great. It's just a matter of preference. Okay, so that's it for the raw me 8 pro uh 108 megapixel camera versus the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra.
