Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra vs S20 Ultra vs iPhone 11 Pro camera comparison - visible improvements By Mr. Phone

So, the Samsung Galaxy note, 20 ultra's cameras are very similar to the ones inside the Samsung Galaxy s20 ultra, I say very similar because there are differences, and that is why I wanted to test out the camera performance of these two phones to find out which one comes out on top and, of course, to make things more interesting. I've also added the iPhone 11 Pro in the mix as well hi, I'm er shad from Mr phone and let's find out. If the Galaxy Note, 20 ultra cameras are impressive or not, and you know what, for all intents and purposes, you can consider this as the full camera review of the Galaxy Note 20 ultra, but yes before we move on, don't forget to hit that red subscribe button and the bell icon right next to it to get notified. Whenever Mr phone puts out an awesome new tech video. Now, when you take a look at the camera, specs you'll see that the note 20 ultra has the same 108 megapixel camera as the s20 ultra, but you do get face: detection autofocus, module on the note 20 ultra now. This should ensure that you get fewer blurry photos and better autofocus, while shooting videos and the telephoto camera is now a 12 megapixel unit instead of a 48 megapixel one on the s20 ultra.

However, what's good is the note? 20 ultra has a longer 120 millimeter telephoto lenses compared to the shorter 103 millimeters on the s20 ultra, which means it can do 4.6 x, optical zoom, like proper optical zoom, compared to 4x optical zoom on the s20 ultra anyway. Samsung has also reduced the further end of the zooming capabilities from 100x on the s50 ultra 250x, on the note 20 ultra, but all the way up to 50x you get hybrid lossless zoom, and that is a better way of doing it. If you ask me moving on you get the same ultra-wide angle, camera and Samsung has dropped the 0.3 megapixel top camera on the note, 20 ultra and even the front camera is a 10 megapixel sensor instead of a 40 megapixel one on the s20 ultra. As for the iPhone 11, pro apple just adds a 12 megapixel camera all around three on the rear, main telephoto and ultra-wide and one on the front for selfies. Now you know what now that you take a look at the specs.

Let's take a look at how these cameras perform. Let's start by checking the details captured by the three phones. Now, the 12 mp samples placed side by side clearly reveal that the iPhone 11 Pro has captured a more natural looking image, especially when you look at the sky, the s20 ultra and the note 20 ultra have picked up the blues and the greens to make the image look more attractive anyway, at 100 crops. The iPhone 11 Pro offers the crispest details at the center and then, when you go to the edges at the bottom left and the right, the s20 ultra and the note 20 ultra offer finer textures. However, with the Samsung phones, you do get the advantage of 108 megapixel high resolution capture, and I couldn't really tell the difference as such in detail.

In certain areas, the note 20 ultra was sharper and in others the s20 ultra took the lead. That said, I'd much rather go with the pixel print samples, don't really see any major advantage with the high resolution shot as such. Finally, I have a picture of this wonderful hardbound book. You should read if it's a good book cropping in clearly shows how the iPhone level pro is clearly ahead of the s20 ultra and the note 20 ultra when it comes to sharpness in the finer texture of the hardcover or even in the written text. What is the point of such high resolution sensors if you can't get pixel bin samples to look much sharper than regular 12 megapixel images? Now, if you look at the color reproduction by the three primary cameras, the iPhone Levitt pro is the most accurate of the three with the s20 ultra coming in a close second, the note 20 ultra is the most inaccurate here, because it tends to boost the blues and the reds.

The only problem with the s20 ultra's color reproduction is the warmer tone, but I'm just very surprised that Samsung decided to go back to its over saturation routes, with the note 20 ultra now. What makes flagship cameras great is the dynamic range performance. The three phones here are perfect examples of that. However, it is the iPhone pro that clearly Vince here, with more details being pulled out of the shadows and with the excellent control over the highlights as well. You can see how gorgeous and color accurate the sky looks in comparison to the note 20 ultra and the s20 ultra, while the s20 ultra and the note 20 ultra have the advantage of a longer periscope zoom lens.

The iPhone 11 Pro does proper telephoto at 2x optical zoom. So in the first 2x comparison, the hybrid zoom on the s20 ultra and the note 20 ultra are no match for the iPhone 11 Pro. Now, when we jump to 5x, you can clearly see that the tide has shifted in the favor of the Samsung phones. The note 20 ultra and the s10 look way sharper than the digitally zoomed image of the iPhone 11 Pro. The note 20 ultra is in fact slightly sharper than the s3 ultra.

If you look at the stack of books towards the right moving on to the 20x zoom, and we are in proper, hybrid zoom territory now this is where the s30 ultra gets slightly sharper, possibly because of the larger sensor being used and finally, at 50x both look very similar. To be honest, I would easily go with the note 20 ultra or the s3 archer for telephoto shots between these two. However, there's not much to tell apart, I managed to capture a gorgeous blue sky to test the ultrawide capability of these three phones. Evidently, the iPhone 11 Pro once again captures a natural scene plus the barrel distortion correction around the corners is also better on the iPhone when it comes to details, there's not much telling the three apart so overall, the iPhone level pro would be my pick for the best ultra-wide angle. Camera.

However, let it be known that the note 20 ultra and the s20 are not awful or anything. Now that we've seen pictures from all the three cameras, one very important thing to check is the color science parity. This is something flagships do well. So I'm not worried here are the pictures from all the three cameras on all the three phones, starting with the note 20 ultra, then the s20 ultra and then the iPhone 11 Pro. You can see that the color science is the same across cameras.

This is where the camera department of smartphone brands work really hard to maintain color consistency across cameras. That is a very difficult thing to do. A lot of budget and mid-range phones falter in this regard. Now, to be honest, I can't really pick one phone as a winner between the three when it comes to portraits. Yes, the iPhone 11 Pro offers sharper details on the face, but it has a more aggressive edge blur the s50 ultra and the note 20 ultra have managed to even pick out the strands of my hair on the top and blur it out properly, and you can play around with the level of blur on all the Samsung's and, of course, the iPhone pro as well.

But yes, Samsung software offers you a couple of different kinds of blur, which is always a fun way to showcase portraits. Now what I want to say next could surprise you the note 20 ultra takes sharper selfies compared to the 40 megapixel selfie camera toting s20 ultra, you get a more accurate facial tone as well. Just look at my eye. You can see the phone reflected in it. That's how good smartphone cameras are getting these days now.

The same is true for the note 20 ultra selfie portrait performance as well. It is better than the other two. However, the difference between the three is not like a lot or anything pick. Anyone and you will be happy. I'm happy with the note 20 ultra here.

The one area where the iPhone 11 Pro remains unbeatable is the 4k 60fps video recording. Yes, both the Samsung's can do 8k, but the 4k video lags slightly behind the iPhone 11 Pro in quality. You get better stabilization, sound quality, colors and dynamic range from the iPhone 11 pros footage, as you can clearly tell from the samples here the note 20 ultra and the x20 ultra capture, identical, looking footage but fall short of you know the iPhone 11 Pro I'm shooting a 4k 60 fps video, using the note 20 ultra and the s20 ultra. Do. Let me know what you thought about the image quality, the image stabilization and the sound recording, as I pan around slightly and show you guys what happens when I shoot directly into the light performance is of the iPhone 11 pros video recording.

Do let me know in the comment section below what you also thought about the sound recording as well, but the s20 ultra and the note 20 ultra offer better dynamic range in the front camera 4k, 60, fps, recording all the other parameters are good on all the three phones. You can pick either one of the three and be satisfied with the selfie video recording capabilities now moving indoors. I want to see if apple's deep fusion tech can make any difference in details. Let me break down my analysis of the three pictures that you see on your screen right now. The iPhone 11 Pro's picture has a warmer color temperature, the s20 ultra and the note 20 ultra are clearly identical, as you can tell that's how the actual color temperature was considering.

Only a couple of tube lights were lighting up the hall, so the iPhone 11 Pro is not accurate. Now at close crop, you will notice that the iPhone 11 Pro offers crisper details and sharper lines. When you look at miss's face me, says my dog, but once you move your gaze behind to the darker area, you will see that apple tends to favor details in favor of noise. Yes, there is a lot of noise in comparison. The s20 ultra has completely softened the details with its aggressive noise correction.

Surprisingly, the note 20 ultra has done a far better job here now. The other disadvantage of pairing a wide lens to a big sensor. Are you get a very narrow focal plane? Therefore, the objects closer to the lens- the magazine in the sample, for example, is out of focus on the note 20 ultra and the s20 ultra. Considering we don't have interchangeable lenses. The primary camera ought to be the more versatile one.

If you ask me, we don't want to be only shooting a single subject with the kick ass both. All the time do we, I really prefer what the iPhone 11 Pro has managed here. Overall, despite the noise and the warmer color temperature, the iPhone 11 Pro is my pick for the indoor shots. I mean the note 20 ultra and the s90 ultra are 99 as good, just an arbitrary number. Basically, the difference is not too much, but, like I mentioned, the iPhone 11 Pro sensor and lens are a good option for keeping things in focus.

Now comes the true test of the cameras on the three phones, which is low light photography, starting off with the ultra-wide angle, camera. You can see that without the night mode the pictures are soft and nearly unusable. In fact, with the iPhone 11 Pro you don't even get a dedicated night mode with night mode. On the note, 20 ultra does an excellent job and doesn't over saturate as much as the s20 does. Plus.

If you look at the building to the left, it has managed to keep the chromatic aberration in check as well. Now, let's move to the wide shot from the primary camera. Now we all know by now that the night mode is automatic on the iPhone 11 Pro so without night mode. The note 20 ultra the s20 extra, don't capture adequate light to bring out the details anyway, once we move to the night mode shot, I can immediately discard the s20 ultra for once again over doing the saturation. It just looks so unreal now between the iPhone 11 Pro and the note 20 ultra the iPhone 11 Pro offers the most natural colors, but the note 20 ultra has a brighter image.

Overall, I actually like how Samsung has fixed the over saturation issue with the s20 ultra using night mode such inconsistencies. I tell you, interestingly, you get night mode with the 2x zoom on the iPhone 11 Pro and across different zoom levels, on the x20 ultra and the note 20 ultra. The mere fact that you can get closer to a subject with night mode is enough for me to pick Samsung's phones over uh apple for zoom shots with the telephoto camera, and here I specifically prefer the s20 uterus cleaner image over the note 20 ultra when you shoot, with literally no source of light and switch on the night mode. The note 20 address shines once again with brighter more color accurate image. The x20 ultra is once again over saturated.

The iPhone 11 Pro seems to be a really noisy mess, so when the going gets really dark, the iPhone 11 Pro kind of struggles overall, the note 20 ultra would be my go-to camera. When you compare these three phones and when you're looking at low light shots. Now, all the three phones come with a powerful flash module and all the three phones have picked a different color temperature. I, like the s20 ultra color temperature, a lot here, but this doesn't really matter because it is an easy fix in post. What we need to see is the throw of the flash and all the three have equally lit up the space.

I expected the iPhone 11 Pro to capture a brighter image, since it has a quad led flash, but no such luck here and when it comes to sharpness across the length and the breadth of the image. The note 20 ultra beats the other two easily when it comes to selfies in low light. The note 20 ultra has the best image, even without night mode, on with night mode on it just becomes even better and just decimates the competition and even with flash on the note.20 ultra offers the best selfie among the three clearly the note 20 ultra takes the top spot in this round. The s20 ultra would be my second choice, followed by the iPhone 11 Pro. I remember when I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy s20 ultra.

I had clearly mentioned that the s20 ultra's cameras were very inconsistent in shooting pictures and not much has changed since then. Furthermore, I still find it difficult to get good shots from the phone. Thankfully Samsung has gone back to the drawing board and fixed the cameras. On the Galaxy Note, 20 ultra the camera spec sheet on the s20 ultra was definitely an overkill and thankfully, on the note, 20 ultra is far more restrained, and you know what megapixels really don't mean that much. For example, if you take a look at the selfie cameras on the note 20 ultra and the s20 ultra, the difference is actually massive when it comes to megapixel count.

This one has a 40 megapixel camera, and this one has a 10 megapixel selfie shooter, and we know which one came out on top. Of course, it was the note 20 ultra, and you know what something as simple as the face: detection focus module added in the note.20 ultra actually improves the autofocusing capabilities, and it is definitely better than the s20 ultra now. In fact, I managed to get sharper images from the note 20 ultra in almost all lighting conditions. Obviously, I'd pick the note 20 ultra cameras over the s20 ultra any day, but when compared to the iPhone 11 Pro the iPhone 11 Pro comes out on top in many parameters, for example, the color accuracy is better. The details are so much better in many scenarios, except for low light, of course, and the video recording comes out on top on the iPhone 11 Pro.

You know what, when Samsung makes the next lineup of s series or note series phones, I really want them to go back to the mechanical dual aperture system that we saw on the s10. This will ensure that we don't have to live with that narrower field of view, because we will be able to change between a purchase and, of course, you know the aggressive blurring. That happened because happens because of that, and that's just of course, the both natural both effect that you get with a big sensor and a wide aperture lens. Now. The other thing that I want Samsung to improve on the note 20 ultra, which can be done right now itself, is improved the color accuracy uh in you know, daylight shots.

That would be perfect if that is done on the note 20 ultra, that would be the best phone camera compared to even the iPhone 11 Pro now. As for the next iPhone, I just want a periscope zoom lens. You know what I know it could be too much to ask for, but a man can wish you see. Well, that's it from me that was my full camera comparison of the note 20 ultra against the s20 ultra and the iPhone 11 Pro. What did you guys? Think of it do.

Let me know in the comment section below until next time: this is er shad from Mr phone signing off goodbye and godspeed. My friends, you.
