CAMERA SHOWDOWN! OnePlus 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S20+ \\ Front and Rear Camera Test By Shannon Morse

The OnePlus 8 pro or the Samsung Galaxy s20, plus, which one of these actually has the best cameras on the market: hey s'mores, I'm Shannon Morris welcome to Morse code.

Thank you to each one of you. You are awesome.

I truly appreciate you. Today we are looking at the Samsung Galaxy s20 plus, as well as the OnePlus 8 pro. I have reviewed and used these as daily drivers for several months now, and I wanted to give you an honest experience with both of the cameras. So you can do a nice little comparison, so the Samsung Galaxy s20, plus the MSRP, is 1199.99. The OnePlus 8 pro is 8.99 MSRP now, since it is fairly easy to get a deal right now on the s20 plus to make its price very close or even equal to the OnePlus 8 pro today, I am giving these two phone cameras a side-by-side comparison, so I can find the best one. So I hope this not only helps you, but it also helps me determine which phone is going to continue being my daily driver, because the camera is one of the most important parts.

For me when it comes to a smartphone, I bought the s20 plus, while the 8 pro was sent to me for the review. I have full reviews of both of these and those links can be found below in the description box. So first, let's go ahead and look at the camera specs side by side. Now, let's take a look at some photo examples. Now that you've seen the specs side by side when taking photos of rookie my brand-new dog, she's adorable and yes, she was named after true blood's rookie stack house.

The s20 plus did a much better job of defining each bit of fur around her face and not blurring them against the background or blowing them into the background. The pro was not as finely detailed, but it still did a decent job. I continued to see similar outcomes in almost all of my photos of rookie. Whenever I was taking pictures of her around the house, the eight pro continued to also have trouble with rookie's dark fur, and it was not necessarily able to distinguish all the details in her face. For example, the wide angle on the s20 plus is wider than that on the eight pro and here's a couple of examples straight from my living room, standing in the same place for both shots and making them as wide as possible.

Both of them did very well on macro shots, though, but I will say, the s20 plus gave macros a much more shallow depth of field and the colors were a little more yellow than on the eight pro. The pro did better at keeping focus on correct subjects, though now at three times zoom, the s20 plus did a better job of keeping things in focus at 30 times, though, I mean look at these, they both look like hot potatoes with one looking like an ink, splatter painting and the other one. Looking like a water coloring painting, they were both pretty terrible in photos of my cat Luna like this one here, where she's sitting on the windowsill, you can still see that the s20 plus is over saturating everything in bright sunlight behind her, which was the same thing. I said in my review when I did my s20 plus review a while back, while the 8 pro was a little more natural with the coloring outside upon recording. I noticed that yellows and reds popped a ton on both of the phones, but the mics do sound a little different.

So here take a listen to this okay, so I am recording my messy studio to see how the image stabilization, as well as the audio, sounds on both of these phones, so I'll check them outside by side and see which one looks better. I wonder which one will look better, which one's more natural that yellow hair looks kind of orange. Now I also wanted to mention HDR on a sky photo. I actually took several sky photos, but this was my favorite out of all of them. The s20 plus still had some yellow tinting going on, especially in the cloud, so you can really notice it, while on the eight pro it was a lot more true to color, but I have to say both of them did perfect with HDR, so I was pretty impressed with both of them.

I also took a few night shot examples, so you can see what those look like side by side and I would love to know what your impressions are down below in the comments now. Obviously, the s20 plus has much more megapixels when it comes to the telephoto camera. It has 64. Well with the 8 pro it's pretty much 48 all the way around, but with that said, we also know that pixel size aperture everything really matters when it comes to these teeny tiny lenses. So a lot of that kind of gets mixed in it doesn't necessarily depend on the megapixels of each of the lenses.

I also wanted to mention some file types and features that you get on both of these phones. The s20 plus does raw and JPEG, and it also does things like panorama and live focus which is very similar to portrait. It has the super slow mode. It has hyper lapse, knight pro and pro video, and it also has that time of flight sensor, which probably is why I felt like my portraits, looked really, really good on the s20 plus now with the 8 pro you also get raw or JPEG, you also get HDR and nights cape and super micro or macro. You also have pro mode just like you do on the s20 plus, but this one does not have that time of flight sensor with video recording the s20 plus does go higher.

It goes up to 8k at 24, while the 8 pro does 4k up to 60. , so you can get 4k up to 60 on the Samsung s20 plus as well, but usually I find myself just sticking with 1080p anyway, because that's what most people watch, but also because it saves myself a lot of space on the smartphone. Now, let's move on to the front-facing cameras, well side-by-side the s20, plus, really saturates, colors and portraits. I mean this is like a night and day difference, but both of them do a pretty comparable job of separating myself from the background. So if you love saturated photos, then you might like the s20 plus pictures better.

If you like more natural, looks, then the pro might be the one that you want to go for it's the same, either way for full on sunlit photos as well as ones where I was standing in shadow and I kind of had that nice effect of a natural barrier to the sunlight. Now, with video the s20 plus, I think it sounded a lot better because it did dampen some of that background noise, and it seemed like the microphone was a little more directional than on the eight pro. I am recording on the OnePlus 8 pro to see how the audio and the video look whenever I'm just recording in straight up, auto I'm recording on the s20 plus to see how the audio sounds with background noise, as well as to see how the image stabilization looks. The s20 plus does have lower megapixels and that one is at f 2.2, while the 8 pro has 16 megapixels at f, 2.45, so slight difference there, but not a huge, huge one and they both record at 1080p at 30. So this one was kind of weird a lot of times.

I felt like the s20 plus did a much better job, and I kind of like the more artistic experience of using the s20 plus, like my aesthetic is, for the more saturated looks, but those portrait photos on the 8 pro looked way better, like I was way too saturated on this s20 plus picture. So there was that, but when it comes to other things like zoom quality and just regular, auto quality on both of these cameras, I feel like the s20 plus was a little better, even though it's a little older and the megapixels are slightly different on this one. It's kind of interesting to me that with these two phones that came out around the same time this year, the eight pro was positioned, basically to be a new flagship for OnePlus, while the s20 plus was priced so high, and yet I feel, like the cameras, are so comparable. In this case, I would love to know what your comments are down below what your opinions are. I thought this was a fascinating comparison, and it was pretty fun for me.

So I would love to know if you want to see other comparisons like this. Thank you again so much to my s'mores for subscribing and for watching I'm Shannon Morse, and I will see you soon. Bye, you all.
