Samsung Galaxy S20 FE vs OnePlus 8T | ULTIMATE Camera Test By Lover Of Tech

What is good people Ben from lover of tech. Finally, getting around to it. Man, it's been so difficult, but we're doing it. OnePlus 8t versus the Samsung Galaxy s, 20 Fe camera comparison, we're going to be testing out daytime low light video front facing rear facing everything so without getting into it too much. Let's get straight into it. Here is a quick rundown of the hardware specs for the camera, for both the OnePlus 8t and the s20.

If you start with the OnePlus 8t, you do have a quad camera system, 48 megapixels for the main camera, f, 1.7, aperture, 26, millimeter, wide field of view, and also a 16 megapixel, ultra-wide angle, camera with 123 degree, field of view, a 5 megapixel macro lens at 2.4 aperture, and also 2 megapixels, 2.4 aperture monochromatic sensor. Now over to that, with a selfie camera at 16, megapixels, f, 2.4. When it comes to the s18, you are looking at a rear, triple camera system, 12, megapixels, f, 1.8, large 26, millimeter field of view, and also an 8 megapixel telephoto zoom at f 2.4 at times, 3 zoom, as well as a 12 megapixel. F, 2.2 123 degree, ultra-wide angle, camera with a 32 megapixel selfie camera at f, 2.2, again full detail. Specs of both cameras are going to be in the description below just a quick rundown.

Let's get straight back into the test right man. This should be a fun one. Let's buckle up, let's get into it man, let's start with the front facing video and, as you can see, man s20 Fe is recording in 4k UHD 60 frames a second on the front facing camera. Unfortunately, the OnePlus 8t only tops out at 1080p 30 frames, a second which is again strange, like I've discussed before that the OnePlus word shoots 4k60, but what we've got man, brisk, walk, and now we're going to do a run, so we've dropped it down to 4k. UHC 30 frames a second on the s20 Fe, and again it is not the best day.

This is not the best time to view camera comparisons in the UK, but I'm working with what I've got. It's been raining so here it is man watch out for the wardrobe, it's very windy. Let's see how these microphones perform as well and then a run, and we are matching the resolution and the frame rate together now.1080P 40 frames, a second see how that stabilization and the image quality looks like, and we'll take out a small run. So now we have both these cameras recording on the rear, 4k UHD frames. A second now what's good to see now compared to before the OnePlus 8t does allow you to actually use all the free focal lens.

Now again, it's just the wide. The ultra-wide the time stew is a digital crop, because there isn't a telephoto lens. You know it's the monochrome and the macro sensor, whereas actually with the s20 Fe, you've got three focal lengths, the ultra-wide the wide and the times three telephoto zoom lens at eight megapixels. So we're starting this and then what we're going to do. We're going to pan around come again ultra-wide on both what it is ultra-wide.

I would say that the s20 Fe pans and transitions to the ultrawide, a lot smoother compared to the 18. , seeing how the stabilization comes out and looks like as well. All right come back to the main, and again you can see it. Transitions must move on the s20 Fe, and we're going to do a times three zoom. That's times two.

Let's see how the stabilization looks like, and we're going to stop come back to the main transition back to the main, we're now going to test the stabilization in terms of running and seeing how both handle on all three focal lengths and see how they behave here we are, and we're going to stop. I'm gonna punch out to the ultra-wide punch out to the ultra-wide and do another run we're going to stop I'm going to go to the time season and in times presume on the s20 Fe and back to the main now we'll switch to 4k UHD 60 frames per second, which both of these support I've just seen. The notification come up on the OnePlus 8t that it has got recording limit of five minutes, which I don't understand right. I don't believe the s20 Fe has that. So just bear that in mind.

If you wanted to record in 4k 60 frames a second, you do have a recording limit on the 8t and also both have this weird limitation, where it does not work on the ultra-wide angle, camera it's just on a main that you get the 4k 60 frames a second. So none of that for focal length support it again. We move let's test the stabilization, I'm going to take a run. Now. Both these cameras have this super stable, video recording mode which caps out at 1080p frames a second fully utilizing the ultra-wide angle, camera with advanced electronic image.

Stabilization on both we're going to do an extreme run and see how the stability looks like. So that was actually me: sprinting, not just a light jog. It was a sprint yup, just a quick rundown of 1080p 30 frames. A second to see. Another quality looks like on the main cameras.

Now we're going to stop we're going to punch out to the ultra-wide punch out to the ultrawide on both still really like how that transitions on the s20 Fe for sure perfect, optimization. There then we're going to do the time to digital zoom on our 80 and the optical zoom, which obviously further reach, and we're going to stop and punch back into the main. Now I've got the video live, focus video portrait mode with the background blur active on both these cameras, and again I'm having to self record. So I'm going to see it pretty much like how you would see it. So I don't know how well it's doing in terms of blowing out the background.

First things. First, hopefully you guys can hear me through the audio. It does come out at 1080p.30 frames a second on both, so you're not going to be able to do 4k UHD in this mode, and it should be blurring out the background. So you should be getting a cinematic. You know depth of field effect on there, so I don't know how well it's working but yeah.

Let me know so this is a nighttime video test.4K UHD frames. Second, on both the devices taking a walk, all right, we're going to stop punch out to the ultra-wide watch out for the ultra-wide. All right. You can definitely see less light is coming into both the senses for the ultra-wide so nighttime. You definitely want to be sticking to the main as much as possible.

Stop main camera. Definitely the light difference, let's punch in zoom, and I do suspect that at nighttime, because there's less light that comes in the zoom on the s20 Fe should be using the main camera, but as a digital crop, and we're going to stop-go back to the main. That's what I mean now it's time for selfie video, we're in 4k, UHD, 30 frames, a second on the s20 Fe and obviously again 1080p frames. A second is all you get on the OnePlus 8t. It's a really tall field of view wise, it's more favored on the Samsung, we'll just see how they both look like, and we've dropped to 1080p frames.

A second on the s20 feet just to match up. The resolution is how they both behave. Now, we've switched to the 1080p frames, a second video recorder mode on both these cameras, but this is actually with the nights cape video mode on the OnePlus 8t. Now this caps out at 1080p frames a second and only works on a main camera sensor, so this is interesting. So let's have a look at this we'll try this quickly.

This is the 1080p frames, a second video recorder mode on both these cameras, but this is without the nights cape video just so you can see the difference in how it makes from before and after now. First picture of this chapel both actually look really identical same field of view. I'd say that the OnePlus 8t is a lot more I'll, say a bit more color accurate um. The s20fe is more contrast, it's going for much more edgy, look, but really it's just down to personal choice and which one you like now, switching to the ultrawide, you can see the s20 Fe really distorts the image. It really goes ultra-wide, whereas the 80 keeps things more in a straight line.

So I kind of prefer what I'm seeing on the 80 here, but you will get more ultra-wide angle, samples, and you see how things change up and here's a selfie image. Definitely s20 Fe. Definitely like it's much more. Even the white balance is a lot better. It's a bit warm on the 80, but you do get two focal lengths when it comes to the s28, but it's only really just cropping in and then bringing it to the wider field of view.

So I'd say just use the wider field of view. Characteristics are still the same, definitely preferred at s20 Fe. When it comes to the selfie performance. The story carries over to this day as well. I still prefer the s20 Fe, but it can really just be down to how you prefer the image to be processed, and it goes the same for the live focus portrait mode selfie.

You know both actually perform really well with the edge detection, but I still prefer the s20fp when it comes to the selfie and how it looks now when it comes to this picture of the tree, can't really tell much of a difference between them. They're pretty much the same, it's really down to which one you like I'll, say: the sky representation. It's a bit more vibrant on the OnePlus 8t, but not really accurate to the day because it was not a nice day was dark. It was gloomy, so yeah really that's down to which one you like, but you see, here's where things just switch up the characteristics of each focal length just behaves differently. When you go to the ultra-wide.

Definitely the s20 fees are it's a bit more ultra-wide. On top of that, how it just represents the color of the sky is completely different. The 80 is definitely more color accurate, like I said it was not a blue sky. It was dark and gloomy, so more color, accurate representation on the ultra white on the 8t versus what you have on the s20 Fe, but you're getting much wider field of view, slightly wider field of view, let's just say, on the s28 fee, with maybe a little better dynamic range. But it's hard to turn on a gloomy day like this so yeah and there's the zoom capabilities times.

Three optical zoom on the s20 Fe is definitely going to be better, more reach, more clarity versus the times to digital, because the 80 just doesn't have a telephoto sense lens or combo, so yeah. This is definitely going to give you better zoom performance on the s20 Fe. Now looking at the main camera sensors. Here, definitely, I would say especially when you're looking at the sky, the s20 Fe is more color accurate, whereas the 80s looking for like a more blue sky. It just wasn't blue um, but I would say that although the s20 Fe is more color accurate, you are getting slightly better dynamic range and shadow representation around my face and beard on the 80s, so it's kind of a toss up.

It really just depends on how you want your images to look, but I'll tell you this now. Furthermore, it was not a blue nice cloudy day. Furthermore, it was dark and gloomy, so more color accurate on the s20 Fe. Now here's how characteristics change when you get to the ultra ride. It's more color accurate on the OnePlus 8t, but much better dynamic range on the ultrawide on the s20 Fe.

So this one is a hard one. Definitely the colors, not that they're bad on the s28 is going for much more, like edited saturated, not overdone, whereas the 80s more color accurate. But you just can't see my face: I'm not exposed so the dynamic range on the ultra-wide angle, camera on the s20 feeds much, much better here and here's some landscape. Shots of you know both these cameras and that's where you're looking at the main then obviously switch into the ultra-wide as well as the zoom, and again you don't have a telephoto under 80 you're, going to get much clearer and much more reach on the s20 Fe. So if that matters to you, man, you want all three usable focal lamps.

The s20 Fe is definitely the way to go again. This picture of the leaf same thing, more color, accurate on the 80, but more vibrant, and just it draws you a bit more in with the s20 Fe. So it's really just down to what you're looking for. So yeah that really doesn't change when it comes to the next image of the log as well so yeah. Just let me know in the comment section below which one you prefer and here's some last few landscape shots where you're looking at the main, the ultra-wide times, two versus the times three zoom from the 80 to the s20 Fe, but then stretching it, whereas times, 10 digital as far as the 80 will go, but you can do the times 10 times 20, as well as the times 30 digital zoom on the s20 Fe or as they like to call it space zoom.

So bearing in mind that's the level of flexibility that you get on. Both camera system depends on the clarity that you get, but the color representations do change between the focal lens. As you can see, it was a grayish background, so the OnePlus 8t does have better color accuracy there, but it does change depending on the focal length in the sensor, that's being used, so just bear that in mind. First nighttime shot and I think both did really well, I would say the s20 Fe controlled. The highlights around my face and exposure a little better but end of the day, man.

I think they look great, and they look as good as they can near enough to each other. Let me know in the comments which one you prefer next one is the ultra-wide and both struggle both do struggle I'll, say: maybe the s20 Fe pulls head a little, but you're on low light. You definitely want to be using the main camera sensor a lot more often, unless you switch the night mode which we'll get into and some nighttime landscape and for all three focal lengths. Looking at the main, both are performing really well to me. Um, it looks perfect.

Ultra-wide as well looks decent when there's a bit more light and then, when you switch to the zoom again, you are getting a bit more reach and a bit more clarity when there's light on the s20 Fe, so having those three focal length flexibility, definitely can't be beaten right. Let's get into some extreme low light situations. This place was pitch black. I couldn't see anything with my own eyes, so you can see that this is something that's really, really hard for these smartphones, and I'd, say the 80s pulling ahead ever so slightly ever so slightly in this one ultra-wide, as you can see, just avoid using the ultrawide in a normal low light, shooting mode, because it's pitch black, that's what my eyes were seeing can't see anything at all. It was absolutely pitch black with the ultra-wide angle, camera now we're looking at the night mode and nights cape on both and really depends on how you want yours exposed, but you are getting a brighter image on the at, whereas the s20 Fe it kind of represents more of nighttime, even though it's pitch black, it kind of preserves the nighttime look rather than overly brightening up the image.

So it really depends on how you want the results to come out for your nighttime photos by impressive on both actually now this is night mode nights cape on both the ultra-wide and definitely, I would say, the s20 Fe performs a lot better. It's very difficult for the ultra-wide angle, camera. Even the night mode for both so try and stick to the main camera sensor. Last but not least, there is a mode in the camera settings for nights cape tripod mode, where there is a long 30. Second exposure on the 8t, that's the one I activated here and it is pretty much.

It brightened up the scene a lot. I couldn't get the exposure any more than five seconds on the s20 Fe, so that is one advantage that you have the at the tripod mode that you enable within the settings to get a much brighter image, even though that was there, it still struggled with the ultra-wide angle camera. So again, I would advise even with night mode, it's great that is there with the ultrawide stick to the main as much as possible. My final thoughts on both the camera experience. I would definitely have to say for a much more complete camera experience at this price range.

I would definitely have to give it to the s20 Fe. There's, no weird recording limits in 4k 60 frames, a second you can do.4K 60 frames a second on a selfie with stabilization as well, where you can't do 4k on the know: OnePlus 8t, for the selfie, which is a shame in terms of just having three focal lengths rather than a monochrome and a macro sensor. It's a lot more usable. It's really down to how you prefer your images to be processed, but I just feel like the overall camera experience on the s20 Fe, it gets more right across the board than it does on the 8t. The 80 has improved a lot from the 70 when I used it.

I've done camera test on the 7t, but I would have to give it the overall experience to the s20 Fe, but nonetheless the 80 holds up okay enough. If it's not something that you're. That too bothered about with these results that you're seeing I'd say the 80 should be a decent camera to have, but overall I'll give it I'll give it to the s20 Fe. That's it for me, Ben from lover of tech, hope you enjoyed this ultimate camera comparison between the OnePlus 8t and the s20fe.
