Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus Camera vs iPhone Xs Max! By Krystal Lora

Oh, it's spring now you can really tell how long it took me to do this. Video, hey guys its crystal, and we are back with a camera comparison. Finally, first of the year- and you probably clicked on this video today, because you're wondering which of these two phones takes better photos, the Samsung Galaxy, s10 plus or the iPhone 10s max. Hopefully, today we help you decide which one you prefer now usually in the beginning of all of these comparison videos, I take a look at the specs of both of the phones that I'm comparing so here they are, and we know what we're working with the tennis max the two 12 megapixel cameras. The s10 plus also has two 12 megapixel cameras with the addition of that third 16 megapixel ultra-wide lens on the back, so yeah, I'm excited to see how those ultra-wide photos came out, but I mean specs are cool and all it's cool to see them, but it's not until we put those photos side by side that we truly get to see what these cameras are capable of and their differences. So, let's take a look at some of these photos and videos.

Let's start with this basic daylight photo of myself with the sun. In the background, I think both phones did a good job at handling that, except you can definitely see some overexposing going on the tennis max, but there's definitely some other differences going on here. Zooming into my face. You can already see the s10 plus has that beautifying thing going on it kind of softens a lot of areas of the image like my face and another thing that I was definitely expecting with the s10 plus, because I'm used to seeing it on galaxy phones is that the colors are definitely popping out a little more. You take a look at the darker areas like my boots in this photo and just all throughout you can see that the iPhone 10 is crushing those shadows a little, the s10 plus just kind of seems to fade them out, standing in the same spot.

Let's take a look at this live focus and portrait mode picture that my sister Gaby took of me and right now my eyes are gravitating towards the s10 plus, because it just keeps me so nice and sharp, while the iPhone tennis max because of all that sun hitting it kind of has like that fade going on, the colors are once again more vibrant and just coming out more on the s10 plus, but I do like that the iPhone doesn't soften the image too much like clearly. We see it in my face, but also in my jacket. You can still see like that texture, like the suede material on my coat yeah, I like the more realistic look to the iPhone's picture when it comes to that. But overall, when in terms of contrast and brightness, I think I prefer the s10 plus here and here's another portrait live focus picture from a different day. Clearly, you're going to see a whole range of photos in this comparison because it took a while, and the first thing I want to point out about this- photo that's very visible, even more so than the last one.

Is that background you can see a lot more of it on the s10 plus it doesn't use its telephoto lens, like the iPhone does to take these pictures, so you're going to get a much wider picture, putting them side by side. The background is always going to look different, but we tried to match it up as much as we could now with the iPhone here. I like the way that it handles its color temperature, like it's more balanced, where the s7 plus kind of shifts towards the cooler side of things the iPhone x max also adds a little too much grain in certain areas of the picture like you can clearly you see it the most in my hair, but you see it on my shirt and my jeans, where the s10 plus is doing that beauty mode thing. I think, because of how windy it was, there's definitely portrait mode mistakes in both of them. Furthermore, I just gotta say I really appreciate how great both portrait and light focus has gone over the years, because in the beginning, when that feature first came out in phones, you can really see a lot of mistakes and the edges separating the background and foreground.

There was always like rigid edges and I feel like it's just gotten so much better, so this next photo another daylight shot, but with less sun. Coming from the background and yeah, these look really different. I mean the first thing: sticking out is that the iPhone x max looks like it's missing color, and I'm usually all for a more natural looking photo, but I love the way the s10 plus looks right out of the camera. Once again, the s10 plus is definitely softening things up a little more. I just wish it was a little less soft looking alright.

So now we have a photo of this beautiful clock, just a regular photo. So there's no portrait mode going on here, there's no, no ultra-wide camera, just, just main lens. The sky is bluer, looking and more saturated on the s10 plus other than that slight difference. In colors, everything's exposed pretty well on both photos and now, let's take an even closer look of this clock with the telephoto lens on both phones kind of the same as the main camera, where you know that bluer sky is coming out a little more on the s10 plus also the shadows are a bit darker and in this next photo there is a lot to look at, but the first thing my eye is catching is the difference in the blues of the sky. It's a little more baby blue on the tennis max now putting the shadows and highlights aside when it comes to the color temperature in the photo.

The iPhone x max is consistently the warmer picture, so yeah. The biggest difference between these two photos are the way that the colors are handled and the difference in exposure. They both do a great job at keeping detail even with less sun in the shot in this next photo. I wanted to see how the phones would handle this bright, pink, building and yeah in terms of colors. Again, it's warm versus cool, where the tennis max is the warmer looking photo and it kind of goes in his favor, because it really helps that pink come through more and overall, the picture is brighter and just better exposed as well, and here is a daylight sunset photo and just like in the last one everything's a little more balanced in terms of exposure on the tennis max now, the s10 plus is looking a little too dark in those shadows.

Color temperature isn't too different, but the s10 plus is looking a little bluer. Now, when we zoom into these photos to take a look at the details I may face, we can see that the s10 plus isn't overdoing the softness that he usually does in his pictures by zooming out they're both great photos, and it definitely is up to preference. You really can't go wrong with either this next one is a more macro, shot nice and close up to this plant. The biggest thing that jumps out is that warm versus cool. It is super apparent in this photo.

It almost looks like a totally different day when it comes to color temperature. The s10 plus is also the overall brighter picture, and you can see that in those highlights, but the s10 plus also does a better job at keeping things sharper and more in focus and just adding contrast. Where is needed when you're this close to the subject. Now, I'm going to get into more landscape photos, so we're further away from everything and yeah in this photo. It was an overcast day.

Things are not going to look too different other than the color temperature, and another thing that's consistent is those brighter areas and highlights on the s10 plus once again brighter and when you zoom into that snow on the boardwalk, you can see that we start to lose a little detail because it's a brighter photo overall. The iPhone 10s max looks more flat when compared so, I feel like we have a pretty good idea of daylight photos when it comes to these phones, where things are usually brighter on the s10 plus and its highlights and darker in the shadows and when it comes to color temperature, the s10 plus is usually cooler. Its tint is usually more pink and the iPhone 10s max is the opposite. With warmer pictures and a more green tint to its photos again, the s10 plus is usually the more vibrant photo. Yes, you get a more natural look on the iPhone 10s max, but right out of the camera, the s10 plus is going to give you that more edited feel in this photo.

The s10 plus is usually softer looking, and before we get into low light photos. I just want to give a quick shout out to the s10 pluses ultra-wide camera on the back, because it's a nice little added bonus to having that phone. You get ultra-wide pictures. A lot of the pictures that I took there's an ultra-wide version. Of course, I can't compare it to the iPhone's camera because there's no ultra white camera on that phone, but yeah they look really cool and just really appreciating having that on the s10 plus, but beyond the really cool ultra-wide camera.

The s10 plus has even more added bonuses to his camera, like pro mode in the camera, app which isn't new, but it's cool to have there's also a scene optimizer to help you better position shots when you're taking a picture and things like flaw, detection to let you know if somebody blinked in the photo or if it's a little too blurry. So if you're, the type of person that really likes to dive into camera settings, the SN plus is probably the phone for you, where the iPhone x max is a little more user-friendly and here's a very first low light photo and the iPhone 10s max looks desaturated, looks duller, less bright. The s10 plus already like right out of the camera, looks like it was edited and looks ready to go. If you're someone who likes to edit your photos and really work on them yourself, then you're going to prefer the tennis max more flat, more raw look, but on to the next low-light photo where this is clearly a different type of shot, but the characteristics kind of remain the same where the iPhone 10s max again is more faded and flat. Looking compared to the more contrast and vibrant photo of the s10 plus, I think I prefer the colors of the 10s max here, just because they're, a little less, yellow and green looking overall and here's another shot where we're getting closer to our subject and just look at the difference in these icicles here zooming in, we can clearly see more detail on the s10 plus.

The 10s max also gives us a more unflattering green tint when it comes to its colors here and in this next light photo of my good friend Andres shout out to Andres in English here on YouTube. I mean this photo really isn't that different, the shadows are kind of handled the same things. Don't look that different other than the sign. The neon signs the s10 plus takes a really weird approach to it, where it kind of adds some orange to it, and I took another similar photo to this, where it kind of does the same thing. So I don't know what was going on there.

I guess it just reacts to that type of light differently, but besides that and all the highlights of the photo, they really don't. Look that different, but in any type of low-light scenario, from phone to phone. The differences remain pretty consistent, where the s7 plus is definitely more vibrant. Those colors come out and pop out more there's more contrast, resulting in a sharper looking photo and the iPhone's picture once again is a little more dull and faded, but definitely easier to work with when it comes to editing photos. I also have some selfies to take a look at starting with this selfie of gabby and I on a very cold winter day.

I think both phones did amazing with their HDR modes and everything's nice and balanced when it comes to exposure as well. Things are slightly brighter on the s10 plus once again, and we've seen that all throughout, so I kind of was expecting that with selfies as well zooming into my face that beauty mode on the s10 plus is coming through, and I say that just because of how soft it is, but there was no beauty mode on and in this next selfie the colors are different again pinker tones on the s10 plus and a more green tint on the iPhone 10s max. Of course, I also have some portrait selfies took advantage of the wide angle on the s10 plus, because we also get a wide angle selfie, and I just love that feature so much. I love that it gets a lot more in the shot and when there's more people involved, it'll just it'll be easier to fit. Everybody in you have a more crisp looking photo on the s10 plus.

Besides the fact that it looks like there's some beauty mode going on again and yeah, those highlights are definitely brighter. Once again, the s10 plus also gives us this live focus. Selfie effects look cool, but I don't know how often I'm going to use these, and I'm going to throw in a quick low light. Selfie too s10 plus selfies tend to be a little too soft for my liking sometimes, but I do like that. It brings more light into the photo and here's a portrait mode and live focused picture when it comes to low light and the s10 plus does a great job at holding up.

Keeping in light is sharp colors look great everything about it makes it a decent looking photo and going straight into a s10 plus 4k video test already can tell the colors are going to be a little more popping than on the iPhone 10s max. So just like the pictures, if you want that more edited feel you'll get that in video too. Another thing to know is that there is a hdr10 plus video recording option in advanced settings, so you can record video in a flat profile to really take control of color and contrast, which is pretty cool and looking at some similar 4k footage on the iPhone 10s max. You can tell the shadows and highlights are a little more balanced straight out of the camera, but s10 plus footage seems slightly more stable and less shaky and when it comes to focusing on things, both seem pretty quick, so no huge difference there, but now time for some selfie video action, starting with the s10 plus okay testing, the selfie video, which I don't usually ever use that much. But it's cool that this is in 4k right now come Gaby come on! Follow me I'll, follow you, let's walk.

Let's Atari walk see how smooth and stable it is. What do you guys think? Clearly? I mean it looks good on the display, because this phone's display is just really great, but let me know what you guys think of how it looks when I import it into the video cool, classical tennis max selfie video, which again, don't really do that much I don't know I mean it's looking pretty good, it's not looking too overexposed right now. Let me know what you guys think again, so that's pretty much all the photos that I've taken on the SN plus and my iPhone 10s max since the s10 plus came out, and obviously they both do a perfect job, but there's definitely differences between the two and things you might prefer over the other phone, especially when it comes too low light photos. I feel like the s10 plus takes the cake and most of those and by now I probably sound super repetitive, but it really comes down to the type of photos that you want to take if you're somebody who likes to edit your photos more and have more control over them, you're going to prefer the iPhone 10 as max's, more natural look and when it comes to the s10 plus. If you like that more edited look, if you want something straight out of the camera that just looks good right away, and you prefer cooler color temperatures in photos, then yeah go for the s10 plus.
