What's going on guys, my name is Wade with tech daily and in this video we'll be doing a camera comparison test between the new Samsung Galaxy s, 25 G and the iPhone 11 now. I think this is a fascinating test, because, basically, what you have here is apples the least expensive phone versus Samsung's least expensive flagship, both still at vastly different price points and both offering significantly different hardware and software features that might affect how you take your pictures and videos. I have a ton of side-by-side picture and video samples to show you guys in all sorts of different conditions, and I'll get to that in just a minute feel free to skip ahead if you'd like, but I, do want to take a minute to outline everything you get with these phones and some major differences you'll find in regard to the shooting capabilities, because there are some pretty important things to take into consideration. The iPhone, of course, has just two camera lenses around back. To take advantage of the primary lens is a 12 megapixel, F 1.8 aperture shooter, with phase detection, autofocus and optical image. Stabilization, the secondary lens is a 12 megapixel, F 2.4 aperture ultra wide-angle, and that's it there's no telephoto or any other sort of hardware assistance at all with the iPhone. The rest has to do with the software and internal specs that assist in taking pictures and videos with the s20.
You get a little more on the hardware side of things. There are three lenses here: a 12 megapixel F, 1.8, aperture, main shooter, with dual pixel phase: detection, autofocus and optical image: stabilization, a 12 megapixel, F, 2.2, aperture ultra-wide lens and an additional 64 megapixels F 2.0 telephoto lens. That also has PDF and IS. Now I do want to take a moment to explain the advantages of an added telephoto lens on the s20, because there are a few that you might find useful. First and most obvious is with the zoom.
The s20 has a hybrid optical zoom setup, which allows you to take advantage of the telephoto lens hardware to zoom in on pictures and videos having the additional physical telephoto lens allows for crisper sharper zoomed in pictures and videos, because not only can it rely on the physical lens, but also this software rather than just the software itself. You can also zoom in significantly more on the s 20 up to 30 times because of the lens, while with the iPhone you're limited to a simple 5 times, digital zoom. In practice, the difference is night and day with a 2 times zoom. You can already tell that the s20 retains a ton of detail, while the iPhone has started to already sacrificing quality at five times zoom. The iPhone has given it everything it has, but the picture has really been affected, even as something as obvious as the letters on fellatio hardly become readable, and obviously the s20 still has a lot more zoom left to go beyond five times and all things start to look a little worse.
Of course, the s20 can at least say it has the option to do more. Another thing to consider is that the S plane can utilize the telephoto lens in its live focus. Shots too. The iPhone can still shoot great portrait pics while utilizing the standard and wide angles to interpret the background and yield that shallow depth of field look, but with the s20 you have sort of an either/or option. You can go with the wide angle or utilize the telephoto, and you can sort of decide which shooting option makes sense with the different scenes.
Another feature the s20 has that the iPhone 11 does not is the ability to shoot a 8k. Now you have some stipulations here. The size of these videos will be massive and take up a lot of space on your phone and there's no image stabilization when shooting a 8k either, but Samsung is really pushing the limits here, like they always have when it comes to what a smartphone is capable of, and I can certainly at least respect that one final thing to note before we start doing some comparisons. Samsung offers a lot more software add-ons features and filters and shooting modes, but the iPhone doesn't have now with these samples. I'm about to show you I didn't utilize, anything in particular that wasn't already Auto enabled, but you might take these extra options in the consideration.
When you decide which phone you prefer, some of them improve lighting conditions. Brighten colors interpret the subject and more, so they might be the added assistance you like in order to capture the best picture so with the first image here. I think it's pretty interesting that in this instance, both these phones did a very similar job with the shot to me in the iPhone seemed to darken the shadows a bit while the s20 really brightens up the horse and the rider and because of that I think we're getting more detail out of the s20, especially when they look close at the flowers. But the background looks pretty much the same and overall I personally think this is just a situation where the difference in images is a little tougher to find. Of course, that's not always the case and in dim lighting conditions.
We can see a huge variation in color temperature and exposure, certainly way more than I expected I think once again, the biggest contributing factor here is yes, 20s propensity to brighten the scene, while the iPhone isn't afraid to keep things dim and in this instance, I'm going to give the edge to the s20, because, just like before the subject is better illuminated and there's less loss in detail. Also, the iPhone decided to go with a cooler blue tone and really went overboard with the fake sky ceiling, for whatever reason, the white balance seems just a bit off, and we see these same sort of things with a wide-angle shot to the main differences being the exposure and color temperature and white balance and overall there's a better presentation of detail on the s20. Even when we move outside I think we're still seeing the same tendencies. I just talked about, and while I do personally think the s20 might be more pleasing to the eye with a brighter image. The iPhone in this instance, is more accurate to how the scene was in real life.
So, in my opinion, if you're looking for a true representation of the subject, the iPhone is more often than not going to give you that. But if you're looking for a brighter more exposed image, the s20 can offer you that now for nighttime shots, something I found fascinating was actually how well the iPhone did I think in a really dark situations. The iPhone actually comes out ahead for two reasons: one: it does a better job brightening the scene which is strange, given the s20 s tendency to do more of that in regular shooting conditions and two the iPhone seems to be able to capture more detail. It's hard to explain just how dark this scene actually was. Each photo took about four or five seconds to take these pictures, so there's no doubt that their night mode capabilities are fantastic, but with the iPhone I think it did a particularly good job with the front-facing selfie cameras.
This is probably where the s20 still has the hardest I'm competing with the iPhone, for whatever reason in standard shooting mode. The iPhone captures more detail with the wrinkles in my face and my stubble, and it doesn't seem to smooth out my skin as much as the s20 does. It's also better at interpreting skin tones. Yes, 20 seems to give off this pinkish tone for whatever reason, which I don't think is how I actually look when we go to portrait mode. I think once again, two things stand out: one: the iPhone missed the mark with finding the boundaries on my hair and separating that background.
Yes, 20 did a far better job and that's very obvious, but still the s 20 once again loses out on detail and skin, smoothing and I. Think in this instance, it makes me look even more pink. Okay enough talking, I have a bunch more side-by-side comparisons. I want to show you guys, so I'm, just gonna. Let them play through for a bit here, and you can sort of analyze and critique them for yourself enjoy the pictures and videos.
Let me know what you think in the comments, and I'll meet you back up at the end of this video. So there you go I hope you guys found this comparison interesting and somewhat helpful in the end. Both of these phones take excellent pictures, there's no doubt about that and they each sort of have their own strengths and weaknesses. I. Think it's really going to depend on what's important to you in regard to what phone you prefer.
So let me know down below in the comments which device you'd be happy with I'd love to know. Your thoughts, of course also be sure to follow tech daily on Twitter and subscribe to the tech daily YouTube channel. If you haven't already, and I'll see you guys later.
