Unbiased S20 Ultra vs 11 Pro vs Pixel 4 Camera Comparison By Max Tech

Hey guys its max and Vadim, and today we're taking a look at the new galaxy s, 20, alt, rah and we're going to be doing a camera comparison and not like the typical ones that you guys might have already seen, but this is gonna, be a blind style. So Vadim hasn't seen these images here, and he's going to be looking at him and choosing which one he likes better and why you guys can join in as well get a piece of paper ready and after each photo we're just going to put in tally marks which one he liked to see at the end. You know how these actually compare in the real world unbiased, and let me tell you guys this is Pi. Has this video buddy has the biggest swing in terms of one camera, doing better in certain scenarios, another camera doing better in other scenarios that I've seen from all the camera tests we've done in the last. You know two three years, so it's going to get very interesting. Let's go ahead and jump in I'll.

Give you guys couple pointers as we go to where we're going to get some interesting results. So here's the first image as a selfie anxiety- let's see so the one on the right I, don't know why it's looks so like flat and kind of blueish, one of the Middle's a little dim I would honestly go with the one on the left, because the dynamic range that I think is a little better yeah, it's a little too warm, but I would still go with this one for sure, I, agree and I, don't even remember which one is which s1 tally mark. So this one is a crop into an ultra white. So we can look at detail. That's why I only have two here, because the pixel does not have ultra-wide lens.

So just looking at it right now, there's definitely more detail on the one on the Left you're right. That one definitely has more detail, and here are the full shots which one do you like better out of the two I'm still going with the one on the left. It's a little brighter I. Think I like that. Alright, that is the s20 ultra now.

This is a macro photo taken with the main lens, and these shots are really tricky because of focusing, so I took multiple shots with each one, and I picked out the best one. Alright, so I can see that the one on the right there's a lot more blur, and it's almost distracting it's almost too much, and it's got this blue tint that I don't really like it's not variables, one of the Middle's really balanced, but I really I like the pop of the color on the one on the left, so I'm going with that one okay, 11 row, I would disagree, I would choose the pixel, but no problem. This is a high to voting, and this test right here is flaring, so I'm shooting right into the Sun, and we're testing how well these lenses can resist flaring hands-down, the one in the middle. That's easy, absolutely I, absolutely agree that is the s20 ultra great job and the iPhone looks probably the worst a few degrees. It's horrendous and this is a shot using the portrait lens, and this is a regular object here.

It's not a person. This is very difficult, so I was focusing on the lanterns, which one do you like, so I think the one on the right, because they light inside the lanterns, is blown out on the one in the center and the one on the left. That's actually not bad. This was actually pretty good too, but I think the one on the right is the closest to the actual color. It was pixels floor.

I was surprised. It definitely looks better in this shot. I was trying to take a wide portrait shot of the running man. Getting him completely in the frame. The pixel is actually in the center here, and it crops on automatically in portrait mode.

It doesn't give you the option to take a white shot so which one do you like better out of these two I. Think I, like the one on the right I, like the extra contrast I, like the look of the asphalt, looks more natural, I guess compared to the other one. So the one on the right, oh that's, 20 ultra and this shot right here is meant to look at colors. We have a lot of cloud colors on these blocks right here. Obviously we have skied the dirt there, which one is more pleasing, color, wise, I, think I'd go with the one on the left.

I mean the colors pop a lot more. It's really balanced I think it looks more sharp as well. Okay, yes, 20 ultra! What's like your Samsung man, and this one is extremely difficult. This is during sunrise. It's super bright outside kind of darker inside the house.

A real estate type shot I. Definitely don't like the one in the center. It's between the one on the left and right and I think the one on the right has too much contrast. It's a little too dark, and I like the overall balanced look of the one on the left. So it's that one he takes so for this is cropped in about 500% from that previous image and I did mix them up, which one looks better.

So the one on the right looks a little blurry. You don't get that much detail. It looks like the one in the center has a ton of sharpening and contrast at it to try to make I guess more detail, so I'd honestly go with the one on the left. That is the iPhone. So last second point is iPhone and for this one I actually zoomed into the photo, because we have a 48 megapixel 4x optical zoom, with their fancy AI over sampling.

All these techniques, so I believe this is roughly 8, X, zoom or so, even though I like the balance and colors better on the one in the center I, definitely see a lot more detail on the one on the left with these little plants, flowers or whatever, and especially this ring around the clock. It's super sharp. So definitely that one s 2000, and now we have an ultra-wide photo here once again, the pixels in the middle. It can't do alt right, unfortunately, which one out of these two looks better. Okay, so I think the one on the right, because I could definitely see a lot more detail in the waves in the water.

Definitely more detail there and I think in the building. Trees, s20 ultra again good job Samsung. Here we have a portrait mode shot and one of them the one on the left, actually wasn't able to do portrait mode at that distance, where the two on the right we're able to, but we have a much different result. So I, like the extra blur the one in the center but I, do see some issues I see that this little duck head way back. There is not blurred out at all, so it's kind of this weird little glitch.

So it looks unnatural for that to happen, and I do see that, unlike the one on the left, you do get a little of blur in the background. So it looks like this might actually be like what a pro camera would do from this distance. It wouldn't have this much blur 11/0 and pro okay, here's another really difficult situation in terms of dynamic range. So what I'm seeing here is there's definitely a lot more detail right there in that dirt. It's blown out on both left on the right camera, so you're getting that extra detail and the dark.

The shadows are also nicely exposed more detail right here in these bricks compared to the other two. So definitely the one in the middle s2000 truck recipe and I will say that this is the only one that got the white balance correct as well, and here I have a portrait shot with the front facing the s20. Ultra has a 40 megapixel front facing camera, whereas the pixel has an 8 megapixel and the iPhone has a 12 I'm going to go with the one on the right, because there's quite a bit of shadows like right above your eyes right there, and this one looks the most natural I guess this is the one I would choose personally that one is the iPhones, and now it's time to go back to that. Zoom lens and here I have a scenario where I was standing quite far back, and this is roughly 15 X zoom, so I did actually crop in on the two other cameras to match it up. Alright, so the one on the Left I see a lot of noise and bitchiness in the sky or like all over it, the one on the right.

You get a little of noise, not very noticeable a little more detail for sure, but the one in the center. This just destroys. It looks the sky little smooth that everything's, incredibly detailed. You could see the texture I'm, really surprised that this was from the sample. Now will not suppress from sampling I'm surprised by how well this shot turned out, and now we have a hundred times zoom.

So I already have the results here, obviously yeah. This is what the s20 looks like. It looks. Terrible I wouldn't want this photo on my phone, but obviously it looks at that. It does the best then digitally cropping another two, and here we have a macro shot using the telephoto lenses and once again, I shot around five or six shots and chose the best one because macro shots are so difficult, and I got as close as I could with the lenses and then to maintain a sharp image.

So, for some reason the one on the left is pretty far back, so I guess it couldn't focus closely in between the other two. It's really close, but I think I, like the one on the right for the extra pop of color, especially in those little flower buds or whatever. That is so the one on the right, I think the one on the right is the iPhone 11 and pro. So this is interesting. You guys see that the s20 ultra can't focus that closely.

That's the close I could get because the lens is using that mirror design. The sensor is sideways. You need to be a lot further for it to properly focus now you could do more digital zoom in this image, but that is a limitation you guys should know about now in this image. I cropped in extra in post, but it was originally shot using two times. Zoom and I want to see what the detail looks like.

If we want that zoom amount right, so I think I'm seeing more detail on the one on the right, especially in those little feathers right there I think I do it. Might just be contrast, but honestly I, like the one on the right, the most and here's that same image just the normal shot. This was two times. Do you change your mind at all or sticking with the same result? I like how bright this one is, but it's honestly, a little blown out in certain areas. I think I'm still going to go with the one on the right.

That is the s20 ultra. This is another thing. I wanted to make you guys aware of, if you're using the two times zoom with s20 ultra, it actually is using the one time zoom and cropping in twice digitally from that 108 megapixels. So it still does a good job, even though you're cropping in on the sensor, whereas the other two actually have lenses for that now. This is another ultra-wide shot, so we have only the Samsung and the iPhone, and here I wanted to look at dynamic range.

This is super dark, underneath this bridge super bright outside. What does it look like to you, so I'm seeing more dynamic range, particularly in the sky? You get a lot more cloud detail and right here underneath you get more detail, whereas this is a little blown out, and also I think the shadows are brought up more. So it's a more balanced image, and you could do more with this one. So the one on the right, 11 Pro, not a massive difference, but it definitely the iPhones ultra lights a little better at dynamic range, and here we have another portrait mode shot. This guy was wondering what I was doing out in downtown, and he asked me to take some photos.

So we have portrait shots here. I think the one on the left is a little too warm and the face is like really flat. There's not much I guess change in skin too or anything in his face, and the one in the center is a little over contrast. Ii. Maybe it's definitely nice and sharp, especially on his jacket, but I.

Think I would prefer the one on the right, s2000 ultra okay, you're, a Samsung man all right- and here we have a portrait shot except for we are inside. We have a studio light for that kind of effect, on your face with the shadow drop off and some both balls. So looking at these I can tell that a lot of the color is gone on the one in the center. Just my face looks like really white, almost like a little blown out and between the one on the left and the right I'm. Seeing a lot of sharpening and contrast on the left and like my hair is like really black and I.

Think the one on the right looks the most natural it's more balanced, I think I would choose with that. One. Okay, that is, that price phone and I would choose the pixel how to say that yeah I thought the pixel kept the shadows nicely. Let's go to the next one. This is interesting what the heck, what in the world, so we reshot this multiple times to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I looked at other areas, and one of these phones clearly could not handle that lamp and Ibadan needed to make it. The white balance. Auto white balance thought it needed to in the world, makes it where's the other two we're able to handle the situation's horrible. So between these two I'm, seeing like softening in my face, like I, don't really see my texture come here to the left, I see like some skin texture and different stuff, like that I'm seeing more texture in my shirt as well, so I think I'm going to go with the left, one, the iPhone one, and this is a situation where a deep fusion will kick in, and that is why you're seeing those differences and the pixel I don't know. This is another shot in kind of medium lighting.

Using that standard lens. Alright, so the white balance is destroyed on the left. That's probably the pixel for again, because it's so blue in between the center and the right I'm. Seeing a lot more detail in the texture of the panel I can more easily read the text on the YouTube plaque and, like this lens right here, I'm honestly liking the center for sure that one is the 11pro. Now this test was set up, and I wasn't expecting this result to test out the hundred eight megapixels compared to deep fusion.

So in that medium lighting, 12 megapixels, but using you know, computer AI, whatever algorithm stuff stacking images, it actually beat out as far as detail and having a hundred eight megapixels. So that was very interesting, and I was not expecting that result, and here is that same image. But right now, I used the telephoto lenses to see how they compare yep, Center again for sure, and I like a lot more detail rewrite there, and this is way too blue, so Center and this one wasn't mixed up. I thought just to show you guys the difference and this scenario was set up, and it wasn't cherry-picked anything like that to test out the extra lens the telephoto lens on here compared to the telephoto lenses on the other ones, 48 megapixels. But the downside to having this you know way bigger way more magnification, basically, is that it's an F, 3.7 lens I believed okay, and we'll put it, but the lens line, the lens one's up here. For you guys to see that means there's a lot less light coming in and even though we have more megapixels because we have less light, the image turns out less detailed, and this shot right here is using the 2x zoom option, so the s20 doesn't have the chance to use the telephones in this scenario, and this is a brighter sort of lighting, but not ultra bright, alright, so the one in the center, just my skin, looks really pale.

So definitely not that one between the left and the right they both do a pretty good job. I think I see more detail on the one on the left, but I like how the one on the right is able to keep that light, bulb less blown out and have more color on my shirt and my pants and everything else. So the one on the right, the s20, has less detail because it has to crop into the sensor, even though it has 180 megapixels. It is edited, and now, let's get into the really low light situations. This is using the front camera using the night mode, and one of them obviously does not support night mode for the front facing camera yeah.

So the left one does not support that. The one in the center is definitely the clear winner. The one on the right is just a little blurry some motions blur going on so, and it's focused on the background yeah yeah pixel, for it did it doesn't look amazing, but it smokes the iPhone it sucks. iPhone doesn't have that option, and it did better than the s20 ultra and I will say actually took pixel, where I only took one image. The s20 ultra I took a couple because it kept focusing on the background.

If you can see that dangerous and that's the issue that kept coming up now, we have another one. This is medium kind of lighting. We have this field here, and this was handheld using about a five-second shutter or so alright. So I could see a lot more detail on the one on the left and the colors look better as well. I see like in all this grass or whatever tons of detail, whereas this is all just pasty and blotchy so left for sure.

Pixels for good job, Google, they're good at their night modes get definitely a clear winner and this shot was in complete darkness. So to my eyes, I really couldn't see anything, and this was on the tripod. I will say that too, so the one on the left is just extremely flat. It's got like this weird tint to it between the center and the right. It's a really tough call.

The one on the right looks really blue and I. Don't know if it was that blue. It was completely black I'll just say that everything was completely bright, so I think I'm going to go with the one in the center I feel like the colors are probably more choice to what it was. Yeah yeah, if you figure that image, but just bright, is probably what you would see: 11 Pro and a pixel 4, so the pixel 4, if you guys notice from previous images, they like to add kind of a bluer sky which I personally like how that looks, there's also another difference. The pixel for this was a 4-minute exposure 4 minute when it knows that you're on a tripod, it does a 4 minute, and if you blow this up more, so it does have more detail a little more sharpness where's the s20.

This was the best shot and other ones were worse and really pasty and flat, and also the haloing around and I. Don't know if that's just having you take that 108 megapixels and not only take all these shots and stack them together with long exposure, but we have all the sampling that has to happen as well. So that was very interesting with the 11pro. This is a running shot and I cropped in a little as well. All shot is actually Unfocus I assumed in I.

Looked at him. It tracked you very, very well, the pixel for I think every shot, but one was slightly out of focus, and then it tracked you very well as well, and I was looking at the background to see if the focus was changing, whereas with the Samsung it starts out with everything in focus: yeah, very blue, but then this is already slightly out of focus, especially on the 6k DR out of focus, oh wow, how to focus out of things interesting, and the reason why I want to show this is I. Think Samsung has more work to do. As far as software they said, they're gonna work on focusing issues as well, but consistently shooting these different images. Sometimes I'd have to reshoot in this comparison, because some shots were just out of focus, and then I have one more shot here.

I think you already know what's going on right here. This is a shot that I took personally of a different object and just noticed an issue trying to take a close-up shot with the lens. So here we have three images which one looks better today, so we'll do it that way. First, it's pretty close, but I think the one on the right, because I'm seeing some kind of blurriness over here at the top and without entrepreneurs I think this one's overall, the best on the right yep and then this one is the iPhone 11 Pro for the pixel 4 in the s20 ultra, and this is something I just bugged me days. They know shooting with this, because the sensor is quite a bit larger in this camera.

It needs a larger lens and that's why the camera bump is so much larger. But in fact, in reality, if this was a pro camera, the lens would be two three times larger, to be able to give enough quality for a for the sensor and what happens is when you try to do a close-up for a far distance. It's okay of focusing close up. The center is sharp, but everything really blurs out. Where's the pixel has a little blurring, not much.

The iPhone does a perfect job here. So I think that is it as far as the testing. Let's see what we got as far as our results all right, so we got 12 for the s20 ultra. We have 13 for the iPhone 11 Pro and forward for the pixel 4. Oh man, that was pretty close, oh yeah, so I guess I'll, say overall I was really happy with some of those as 20 shots, especially yeah, when you're shooting outside with either the main lens at 1x or that telephoto at around from 4 to 10.

It looks really, really good dynamic range contrast. They did a great job, but in some of these other situations, that's where the iPhones started to beat it out, because it's just it's better software and more optimized so be interesting to see what happens longer term after we have some software improvements, so there you guys go. Let us know down in the comments section below which one you thought was better or what your score was. If you guys did this test as well, and if you want to see a comparison between these two, let us know as well: I will be doing a one-week switchover REX, which for a couple of days already, so I'll, be doing a video, letting you guys know all the pros which there definitely are some good pros and some cons. Switching from my iPhone to this new s20 ultra so make sure you guys have that subscribe button.
