Samsung S21 Ultra 5G Vs Huawei Mate40 Pro - Watch Before You Buy!

Hey guys, Adam Lobo here from Adam Lobo TV. So, we all know there are lots of differences in terms of the hardware, and especially on the software for these two phones and of course the cameras on these two phones are still one of the industry-leading especially when it comes to the overall camera specs from a hardware perspective as well and image processing So, in this video, we will take a look on how the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra's camera is compared to another camera king which is the Huawei Mate40 Pro First, let's look at the camera's specs The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra comes with a 108 MP, f/1.8, 24mm wide lens a 10 MP, f/4.9, 240mm periscope telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom a 10 MP, f/2.4, 70mm telephoto lens and a 12 MP, f/2.2, 13mm ultrawide-angle lens where the camera arrays also have the dedicated laser autofocus which is also available at the back as well Then looking at the Huawei Mate40 Pro it comes with a 50 MP f/1.9 aperture, 23mm wide lens a 12 megapixel f/3.4, 125mm periscope telephoto lens with 5 times optical zoom and a 20 MP, f/1.8, 18mm ultrawide-angle lens Now please keep in mind that the exact colour and details may vary as this could be due to the YouTube's compression but just so you all know that I used the ASUS Zenbook Flip S 4K OLED laptop which I will be reviewing really soon as the laptop has a 100% DCI P3 Colour gamut colour accurate screen So, without further ado Let's get started Now, looking at the high megapixel mode as expected, since the S21 Ultra has a higher 100 Megapixels as opposed to a 50 Megapixels on the Mate40 Pro you will get more details if you zoom and crop in in post but without zooming both of them looked and performed very similar so this does come down to how often you need to zoom in and crop in into your images to know which devices are "better" in this category Now I did mention that I always loved the focal length of Samsung devices as the S21 Ultra is wider at 13mm instead of 18mm on the Mate40 Pro because as a content creator I can tell you that an 18mm lens is not really considered as an Ultrawide-angle Lens as opposed to a 13mm, so thus, as seen in these images you will get more focal length on the S21 Ultra The colours on the building towards the top are more colour-accurate on the S21 Ultra where the pictures on the Mate40 Pro had a slight blue tint in the images. Now, looking at the main lens similar like the ultrawide-angle lens the pictures on the Mate40 Pro had a blue tint on the images Yes you can adjust this in post but keep in mind that the S21 Ultra seems to produce more colour-accurate photos and once again the same can be said when it comes to the 10 times zoomed images as well. And speaking of zoomed images the S21 Ultra can go up to 100 times zoom and the Mate40 Pro can go up to 50 times zoom and comparing on the 50 times zoom since Samsung has introduced the Zoom lock feature to lock into the image to make the subject be less shaky as seen on the Mate40 Pro footage over here you will get better results on the S21 Ultra even if you want to go up to 100 times zoom There is no dedicated macro camera on both phones which... bravo, thank you so much for not having a lens for the sake of having a lens The good news is that the ultrawide lens "converts" into a macro mode when going close to the subject where the colour accuracy and details on the fabric is more pronounced on the S21 Ultra So I have tested the rear portrait mode both on humans, which is me and on subjects as well where Samsung had a better subject to background blur which can be adjusted after taking a shot which is still very nice to know And the colours on the skin tone seems to be a bit saturated and the details can be soft as seen at my T-shirt and my mask area where there are more details on the Mate40 Pro so yes, I have to give this to the Mate40 Pro As for taking photos of objects the background blur was the same the only difference is that the blacks are darker on the Mate40 Pro, or the shadows so this does come down to a personal preference. As for the Night mode, focal length aside the good news is that the Mate40 Pro is brighter on the overall images as Huawei is very well known for their lowlight capabilities for years and years But yet again, the skies this time around had a blue tint which we all know how dark sky looks like It's black... Not blue... so I am not sure what Huawei is doing over here and if you really want to pixel peep I have noticed there is some chromatic aberration towards the shadows as well.

The colours for non-sky images were better in terms of the colour accuracy once again on the S21 Ultra as seen on the tile flooring of these shots. While both phones have Night Mode for selfie shots I personally don't favour any one of it But if I was forced to make a choice I'd go with the S21 Ultra because of the extreme exposure emits from the Huawei Mate40 Pro's screen where it had a bright light when you put on the Night Mode which is quite weird when it comes to the overall exposure when taking selfie night mode shots and again it is the same blue tint as seen on my T-shirt because my T-shirt was black or... is black, and not blue as seen in the Mate40 Pro. You can zoom in accordingly but the images were not very usable beyond 10x zoom but the S21 Ultra retains the highlights better as seen on this building's logo Now, I have also took pictures... Now I of... Now, I have also took... Now, I have also took.... Took, took, took... Tuk tuk... *khob khun krap* Now, I also took pictures of my pet Leopard Gecko Joaquin in a super lowlight situation in an almost complete darkness as the boy is nocturnal and while both images were bright which was good news, yet again you'll see better details on the S21 Ultra Now looking at the selfie camera specs on the S21 Ultra it comes with a 40 MP, f/2.2, 26mm wide lens and the Mate40 Pro comes with a 13 MP, f/2.4, 18mm ultrawide-angle lens There is a High Megapixel mode on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra but I thought it was unfair to compare that and just so you all know that both of the beauty mode on the selfie cameras were turned off so keep that in mind when it comes to the results. Now, onto the regular selfies, the dynamic range on both phones were equally as good However, Samsung has way much details on the skin you can see that the images are looking a bit softer as seen on the forehead area and the colours of the T-shirt is also more close to real life as well Now, Samsung has better subject to background blur on the edge detection and details are also clear on the Portrait selfie mode on the subject for this case, is my face of course.

Now, when it comes to taking selfies in a very highlighted background situation or a backlit situation while the background is properly detailed on both images but yet again the S21 UItra gets better details on the skin compared to what you see on the Mate40 Pro. Now, before I go into the final video comparison if you guys are enjoying this video be sure to give this video a nice big thumbs up and subscribe to Adam Lobo TV That, would be very much appreciated! And finally, looking at the video taking capabilities the S21 Ultra can record up to 8k resolution where the Mate40 Pro can't so I just tested the comparison on the 4k video recording Quality and dynamic range was very similar with slightly different colours between the both so this does come down again to a personal preference. Image stabilization is better on the Ultrawide-angle lens on the S21 Ultra but it was very similar on the main lens on both phones. Now, as for the front video selfie both records up to 4k resolution and while the image stabilization was really gimbal-like if the light is towards you, that means in front of you both of the video footage had great quality but where the Mate40 Pro suffers once again is when there is backlight present where it overcompensates on the whole image including the subject where you can see my skin were overexposed. All right guys, that's my comparison between these two phones and with this, do let me know which you think is a better camera at the comment section below And let's chat over there!.
