Galaxy S20 Ultra Real World Camera Test: Wow! By Joshua Vergara

A geographer gar, what's going on everybody we're here with the Samsung Galaxy S 20 ultra 5g. This is the cosmic gray version. I'm happy I got this one instead of the black one, it's just nice to have something a little different, but we're not talking about the features or the design of this particular phone. Yet we're going into the cameras. I know a lot of you are really wanting to know what the cameras are like. So here comes my real-world camera test.

This video brought to you by Squarespace head into the links below to get 10% off your first order. So with all that said, why don't we go ahead and view the world through the eyes of this galaxy? S20 ultra just got back from a class at my martial arts academy, a couple of clips from there I've been using single, take a lot on the Samsung Galaxy s, 20 ultra. Obviously, that's what we're using in this video a lot of the photos and videos that you're seeing, and this piece is taken from the phone so make sure you keep an eye down in the corner or might be right below right around here. So you know when I'm using the s-1, and you can assess the video and photo quality for yourself. A quick word on 8k footage.

It's not really something that I feel like I'm, going to use a lot. It's great that it is enabled down here partially because of the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. That's in here helping to provide that level of processing. But it's not really footage. I would use all the time, even if it is super high-res, and it looks pretty good, especially in the right conditions and then the 8k footage is actually a 1.5 x crop compared to any 4k footage that you can get which, by the way, the 4k footage allows you to use the other lenses for wide-angle and 4 zoom. So while there might be some other 8k Clips you'll see in this video remember to check the bottom.

So you can see what I'm, using while I'm using this phone, it's not something that I'm going to lean on a lot, if, I'm being completely honest, this shot might seem a little less practical, but it's a little more fun. To be honest, you get the light angle from the rear turn it around hit that volume button, and then you get a nice wide shot, something that's more akin to a traditional flop. Here's something I do want to test out, but unfortunately, I won't be able to see the differences until I get these clips onto my computer. Basically, there's an HDR, 10 plus modes inside or not really about as more of a setting, and apparently it's going to change up the dynamic range and from my cursory look at a couple of clips, I took with it. It seems like it changes up the contrast and a little of the colors makes it a little flatter I think so here, I just turned on the HDR, 10 plus modes or setting I keep saying mode, but yeah I'm going to take a look at this later and see.

If all of these wonderful colors right behind me, are actually muted a little that way, I can bump up the saturation I'll, probably get on to the actual camera, and talk about what this mode means for people who are actually trying to put together vlogs using just this smartphone. Okay. Well as it turns out that was exactly what it was, the HDR 10 plus setting in the galaxy s.20 ultra is basically a flat called profile. So it's really nice to see that something like that is in there, because that's exactly what I use for the main cameras, I've used it with the GH 5, which is my overhead rig right now and basically, what it does is. It allows you to get a little more dynamic range in a shot, because a lot of the contrast is broad down, which you can then add in later on in your video editor.

The same goes for the colors, which are much more muted. That way, you can actually color great it in such a way. That gives a specific look. If that's what you're going for its kind of funny, because when you're looking through the viewfinder or if you're, looking at the gallery app with the HDR 10 Plus footage, it still looks pretty normal, but you can go into the gallery app, get the HDR, 10, plus footage and actually reconvert it into a more conventional looking piece of footage. So after that, first part of the weekend.

My main takeaways at that point where that single take is fun to use, and it's something that you can kind of lean on, especially in situations where you're not sure exactly what you're trying to capture, but also the zoom levels are fun to use, even if they don't yield very sharp results past 10 times, but as I would learn a little later at the LA Arboretum. Those zoom levels would come in handy, and I've already been able to get some really dope shots of them using the zoom levels. I only really go up to ten times, though I will end up testing out the 30 times of the 100 times a little more tomorrow, but for today, some nice, some nice photos of these peacocks I am using a switch pod with a phone mount in order to get these particular shots. That way, I can get a little more distance from the front-facing camera. You know me I, like smartphone blogging, and it looks like the Samsung Galaxy S 20 ultra is going to be a great tool for that.

There's just so many options, and so many cool things you can do with it. I have to tell you it's pretty tough to actually get a steady shot in 100 times, which it is obvious, but yeah I just experienced that right now with that sign that was way over there but yeah it was interesting. Just trying to get think, though, the words exactly the way that I wanted to write they're, just like oh, come on. Do it I'm facing one of those classic dilemmas when it comes to a smartphone? Everything is looking perfect in the viewfinder right now, especially when I have it just at the right angle, using the switch pod. The video is looking great.

Obviously, it's 4k video on the front. That's always a really nice prospect, but we'll see well how the footage actually looks later on a computer, but for now I will say that the front-facing camera has a just wide enough angle that you can get some pretty effective logging shots, especially if you use a tool like this switch. Far. Okay I figured it out. There is a function, or rather a usage for 30 times zoom 100 times zoom in this case it's 30 times zoom, but you ever try to get a picture of a swirl and the moment you get even just a little close.

They just run the hell away, well check these out I'm, not trying to harsh anyone's buzz when it comes to the zoom levels. I, just still don't think it's going to be super practical for most people. For those of you out there who might be into street photography or maybe nature photography, it is nice to have up until that 10 times zoom, and then it's just a novelty pasta that you can get so close into like a squirrels eyes or something like that 100 times, zoom a great thing to achieve on a smartphone, but a Safari lens. It is not before we get into the last part of this real world camera test. I want to give a shout-out to my sponsors, Squarespace the all-in-one platform, to build great websites to create a beautiful online presence and to run your business.

It's easy to claim a domain or URL for your own and then use Squarespace to bring your ideas in style to life in a professional website, online, store or portfolio that portfolio part is actually the part I wanted to highlight right now, as what I'm looking to do on my website at Squarespace is created a gallery for these real world camera tests, where you can see some of the actual photos that come from the phone itself. So, in the case of this particular phone, you would see galaxy s, 20 ultra pictures all the way from the 108 megapixels to the 100 times zoom to the 40 megapixel front-facing selfies. That way, you can have a one-stop shop for everything j-v, including all the pictures I took in the video you're watching right now, thanks to Squarespace check out all the tools Squarespace provides to help you get your business and online presence off the ground visit Squarespace for a free trial and when you're ready use, squarespace. com, slash, Joshua Verger to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain thanks again to Squarespace for sponsoring this video. This probably won't surprise anybody, but with the phone that has up to 100 times worth of zoom I wanted to go somewhere where I would actually be zooming into things.

That I think you guys would like looking at and, of course, over. There is the Hollywood sign and behind me, is the Griffith Observatory one of the main places in LA that you can go to in order to get that kind of look at a famous landmark. You know in these close quarters right up against a beautiful building like this. This is when a wide-angle lens really comes in handy. You can see from these shots that I'm able to get all the building in the frame and the mob and I move up to.

Even though one times then the sides of the building are just cut off, so yeah wide-angle always useful, especially for a lot of these tourist areas. Where they'll make you a lot of people around, and you can get too far back from the thing that you want to take a picture of as far as the 40 megapixel pictures are concerned, from the front-facing camera they're, actually quite detailed, but one of the reasons. Why is because all the little enhancements that Samsung's camera puts into the selfies are turned off you're using the full power of the sensor, but there's no beautification, there's no softness, there's, not anything else, that's being put on top of it. It is a raw, well, not really raw, but it is just like a raw captured photo I, don't know quite how effective this will be, but I'm trying to get a hyperlapse. It's called hyper lapse, but time-lapse of the Hollywood sign with some clouds going overhead.

Furthermore, it did rain yesterday, but that many clubs today, hopefully this shot, will turn out pretty well I'm gonna. Let it go a little longer than I would normally do this yeah. The clouds didn't give me much there. The Griffith Observatory one with all the people going by it will probably be better, but now that I have the phone on a tripod right now, I can actually do the zoom levels and make sure that it's steady, that's one of the biggest problems with going farther than 10x. Is that it's hard to keep your hands steady? So you can get a clear shot.

Let's see how the Hollywood sign looks with this tripod, and so there you have it a look at the Samsung Galaxy S 20 altar in this long vlog, which is also a real world camera test. There are certain scenarios that I was not able to cover in this video. The one that I really wish I could do is zoomed in portraiture. That's one of the things that you want out of a portrait shot is a far lens. That way you can compress the background and just make the frame focus on your subject with the live focus turns on and then zoomed in you can actually achieve shots like that, but in case you didn't realize by now.

In the time I was recording this past weekend. I was by myself. It wasn't really out and about with anybody that I could actually take portraits of from that kind of distance, and also I wasn't going to just ask strangers to do that. I'm. Just simply not that comfortable with that I'm, not a street photographer and I.

Don't do street portraits either, so I wasn't just going to zoom in on any Random on the street, because I feel kind of bad doing that. So, if you get this phone, and you have all of those zoom levels, just don't be a creep but yeah. My main takeaway so far is that the camera experience on here is robust. It is one of the most full-featured smartphone cameras that I have ever used and even in just one weekend of using this phone I've already taken up like 50 gigs in here, including applications, but still it's pretty easy to fill up the space on this thing. So it's good that there's an SD card slot.

Well, you're going to want to have a lot of storage if you're going to use this for a lot of your creative endeavors, but okay before this video gets way too long, I'm going to go ahead and call it on this one. This was the real world camera test for the Samsung Galaxy s, 20 ultra 5g gotta. Remember to say that, but yeah you can enjoy even more about the galaxy s 20 ultra throughout this upcoming week, because I have a lot of stuff coming up. I'm going to be talking about this phone.
