Hi guys its HBO 18 and welcome back to a brand-new video. Now, of course, the two biggest most premium- phones of the Mark less star, again, two of the biggest most premium brands on the market right now, Apple and Samsung have released their two big flagships very recently, very close together. So obviously people will want to know which of these two phones has the best camera. Is it the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, or is it the iPhone 10s Macs? So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna. Take you guys with me. We're going to go outside, and we're going to test.
These two smartphones to see which, if there is one, is gonna, be better for you for smartphone photography, as these are both priced right at the top end of the market. Where's your money, going to be better spent. So without further ado, let's get straight to it. Well, so, as you well know, the iPhone 10s Max and the 10s as well and the 10 are been all released. Last week, I've done an unboxing of the max.
So far you can go and check that video out. If you want I've, also done videos on the note 9 as well again, you can go and check them out, but if you're very interested in your camera, then we need to know what this puppy gets. This puppy we're going to need to know what this puppy can do. So we have here the most expensive Apple phone on the market, and we have the most expensive Android phone on the market. I think, but the main question is it the note 9 or is it the iPhone 10s max, which has the best camera come with me? We're going to go outside, and we're going to find out the truth about these two phones so come on.
Let's go right so as we're looking at the first picture, I just want to mention two things: one. All of these photos were taken in automatic I didn't do any manual shots any pro shots, for example, because I wanted to do this comparison for the everyday user. The second thing to point out is that I generally tried to test the cameras as much as possible. So a lot of these shots as an example were taken in quite harsh lighting conditions very tricky on the exposure. I wanted to really test the HDR on both and see which phone actually handled those difficult conditions.
The best now very quick specs, the iPhone 10s and the 10s max have a duel, 12 megapixel camera. The primary sensor is F, 1.8 aperture and the secondary lens is F 2.4 a picture and the front-facing camera is a 7 megapixel sensor. The no 9 also has a dual 12 megapixel camera, but the primary sensor is dual aperture, so it can go from F 1 point 5, 2, F, 2, point 4. This is meant to help with low-light situations, and the secondary sensor is f, 2 point 4 as well, so the first photo there's not too much to tell between them. The only main thing- and this will be a reoccurring theme throughout- is that the iPhone 10s max seems to have slightly more punchy, saturated colors i.
e. Looking at the sky, it's a lot bluer on the iPhone than it is on the Samsung Note 9. Some people say the note.9 is a bit more realistic and lifelike. It will come down to personal preference if we do a quick zoom in on the text on the building you'll notice that it is slightly sharper on the iPhone than it is on the Samsung Note 9. Now we're going to jump onto the second photo, and this is the first photo which is going to be using the portrait mode or the live focus.
If you're on the note 9, the iPhone to my eye seems to be slightly crisper on the lamp post. However, we do have, it seems a bit of an issue on the iPhone for me, looking through the photos, you'll notice this as we go through, but what you'll notice is the actual blur effect. It's actually missed off some brickwork there, so that that is clear, and it should be blurred, so the actual edge detection isn't as great as it seems on first viewing. Yes, the colors look great. Yes, it's very punchy, but the whole point of that blur effect is to blow the background and part of the background is fully focused, whereas obviously, on the note 9, that part is still blurred.
Some phones will just use the dual lens to do this. Some will use software and processing, and some will use a bit of both. It seems like the iPhone is certainly doing slightly more software based blur effect than the note 9 on first viewing, then we're going to go to art first of our front-facing selfies apologies for all of these selfies, the rock eyebrow, is gonna, be ever-present in all of them. It makes me feel slightly less stupid when taking selfies out in public there's. No one wants to take themselves too seriously in this photo.
I love how crisp the iPhone picks out the features, especially the facial features, parts of the jumper I like how summed the portrait mode is as well on the front-facing camera on the iPhone, as opposed to the note on which is slightly further away. However, I think the edge detection on the note 9 again is slightly better than on the iPhone feel free to. Let me know what you think in the comment section below now: we're going to quickly jump to some video recording 4k at 60 frames a second on both and as you can notice straight away, the iPhone is far better stabilizing the image. It's a lot more jarring. On the note 9, there is a bit of lens flare on both, but the lens flare on the iPhone does tend to come out a little more than on the note 9, and this will run through again some photos you'll see in a bit, so I'm now going to actually use the sound recording on the phones as well.
So you can get an idea of the actual inbuilt microphone quality as I'm, not using an external microphone, and that was one of the big talking points at the iPhone 10s max or 10s in general launch was the inclusion of stereo audio recording. So again, let me know which of the two phones you actually prefer. The sound for I will flick between the two, so you can get an idea so which one of the two phones actually records the best quality for footage, the most stable for footage and, of course, the best audio quality as well. That's what I want to know from you guys, ok, so we're also testing out the front-facing camera as well, and I'm, using the microphone on the phones as well. So there's no external microphone plugged in, so again you're getting an idea of the quality of the sound, and we are walking into the Sun, so I'm, basically being blinded for you guys.
It's great again, you can see from these two videos that the actual colors are slightly more realistic on the note 9 a little more saturated on the iPhone. Hence, the reason why my face looks a little like a tomato. Now, of course, we do have the slo-mo on both as well. We have just slo-mo on the iPhone and super slo-mo on the note 9 one thing to note: the iPhone record slo-mo. As soon as you press record, everything will be slo-mo, whereas on the note 9, when you press record it'll wait for movement within the square on the screen as soon as it detects movement, it will quickly take a very short section, a short snippet of action and reduce the speed on that one bit alone.
Next, we have another standard, rear camera shot and the colors and saturation are far punchier on the iPhone than the note 9 again it comes down to personal preference, whether you want a photo that looks kind of Instagram ready, you could say or whether you want something that's a little more natural. Also, we do have that lens flare, which I mentioned earlier on the iPhone, and it seemed to be anytime. I was shooting into sunlight, which isn't obviously the ideal way of taking photos. He did lens flare quite a bit, whereas, on the note 9, we didn't get that as much next, we have another front-facing selfie, and this one I wanted to shoot upwards into bright sunshine. I wanted to make it as difficult as possible and in my personal opinion again, you may differ.
I think the iPhone picks out the colors and the features a bit better. It looks so much more punchy, rounded photo I, think it's possibly because I also prefer the slightly more zoomed in portrait shot. But again, let me know below and while we're on that same vein of thought, another very difficult photo. The sun shining straight into my face on this bit here, really testing the HDR capabilities and how well the cameras deal with exposure now in this photo. There is no comparison: the iPhone wins hands down the blue of the sky, the clouds, in the background, the clarity of the face, the crispness of the jumper, whereas on the no 9 most of the photo has just blown completely out.
We have two shots here of a church, and these are fairly similar quite hard to tell between the two. If you put them on paper, you probably wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference, and again it would just come down to whether you prefer the slightly more saturated shot or the one that looks a little more natural and pretty much the same. When we go to the two times zoom as well, so you can zoom in by up to two times on both of these phones without losing any quality, and both of these shots look great. Now we're going to go to another both effect shot, and this one the note nine. Actually the photo better.
The iPhone again, because I feel it's using more software than actual hardware. It failed to depict the whole part of the flower, bush and kind of blended the rear part of the flower. In with the background, so we kind of just get a bit of a mashed shop. So in this occasion the note 9 handled the photo better and this one again very, very hard to tell the difference. Even if you look right to the distance in the sky, with the clouds very, very hard to tell between the two, both of them are picking all the main details out very, very well the same in this shot, and the only main real difference in this is the actual clock on the top left-hand side of the photo, but I feel the details of the clock are slightly crisper.
On the iPhones, the iPhone also came out on top in this next portrait, shot of the sign, the clouds in the background, the sky. Even the details on the sign just look a lot sharper a lot fresher, a lot punchy on the iPhone, a couple more plant shots here and this first one the lens flare again is present in the iPhone, and the note 9 seems to be a little sharper on those petals, for example, and that's possibly down to the AI used on the note 9. It's depicted the plant, and it's processed the image accordingly. Now both phones have great HDR capabilities. Well, they'll take numerous shots when you press to take a photo, and they will process them together, so that they can make the dark areas bright and punchy without over exposing the brighter areas.
This one again, the only real difference is the iPhone gets the sky a little better. In my opinion, a little bluer and slightly sharper on those clouds and the least out about the note 9 on this phone box photo the better again, it's completely overexposed to sky, whereas the iPhone handles the situation a lot better, and here we have a photo of dotty and, in my opinion, the facial features come out crisper on the iPhone, but the edge detection is better on the note.9. The software around the ears, for example, on the iPhone just looked truly pretty poor I, don't feel that any phone at this end of the market should really struggle with edge detection and I do feel that the iPhone has a bit of a glaring error in this department, certainly on first impressions anyway, whether this can be changed with software updates, for example, I, don't know, but certainly I feel it does need to be looked up and, like I said earlier, another thing that I feel needs to be looked at is the lens flare issue. And yes, if neither of these could be changing could be a bit of a glaring issue. Now we have some low-light photos here.
Let me know which of these two you prefer and one final low-light selfie to finish just got back. I didn't will edit this right. So hopefully, this video has been a big help for you. Let me know what you think in the video description below out of the two phones, which do you think came off better in that comparison, I will also be doing camera comparisons between the iPhone 10s Max and the one plus six, and I also have a bit delayed, but I have the note, nine versus the one plus six camera comparison coming very soon as well. I have all the photos for that I just haven't got around to finalizing the video, but will try and get both of those videos out for you this coming week like and share.
