Xperia 5 ii Vs Note 20 Ultra Vs Huawei Mate 40 Pro - Camera Test with a difference By WhatGear

Welcome to what gear reviews for another camera comparison, video- and this one has some of your favorites in it. So I'm comparing the Galaxy Note 20 ultra to the brand new Huawei Mate 40 pro versus the brand new Sony, Xperia 5 mark ii, which has a crazy pro camera mode and in this video it's going to be very different from anything else. You've seen in any other camera comparisons with these devices, because I'm here in the British RAF museum, and I'm going to be taking photos of all these cool planes and stuff, but I'm also going to be using the photo pro mode on the Xperia 5 mark ii. So I'm going going to be adding my own creative flair into those photos, but I'm going to be using auto mode on the Samsung and the Huawei. Are you ready? Let's go so picture one. This is an English electric, lightning, f6 jet.

One thing, that's quite clear here straight off. The bat is the fact that the field of view on the three phones are very different. On the Xperia 5 mark ii. You'll see it has a wider field of view. On the note, 20 ultra is ever so slightly tighter and then on the Huawei Mate 40 pro you'll notice, it's the tightest of the three, but don't see that as a negative thing, because all three phones have a wide angled lens, and we'll get to that later on in the video.

So when I was taking the photo with the Sony, Xperia 5 mark ii, I used the photo pro app, and I spent a good amount of time really trying to perfect that white balance and match the grays on the side of the jet to how my eyes saw it at the time- and I think the results were actually very good here and when you look at the note, 20 ultra and the mate 40 pro photos, you'll notice, the photos are much warmer, there's more orange tones in the entire picture, and this is always going to be a trade-off because I spent ages taking the Sony photo. But with the other two I literally just took the phone out of my pocket and snapped a photo within a second. So it is a trade-off. Sometimes auto modes work fantastically and sometimes spending a bit more time. You can get a more accurate photo honestly guys.

I've really had to examine this one close to spot the differences and here's what I think the color accuracy is a win for the Sony. Of course, I'd say that, because I spent ages taking that photo on the note 20, it has a really great amount of sharpness, particularly at the front of the jet. It's a bit blurrier in the background, though, and that might be a good thing for some of you guys. But overall, if I had to pick one for detail, I'd probably go with the mate 40 pro pictures, 2 the Macmillan on the topic of detail. This picture painted on the side of a buccaneer warplane, should serve the purpose.

For this comparison, I tried my best once again to match the white balance on the Sony, but this time I may have overdone it a little with the orange hue. It was quite orange in there to be honest, but I think I just overdid it a bit. I would probably say the mate 40s got the more natural colors to what my eyes were seeing at the time, but that aside, that's not what this comparison is about. It's about the detail. Now.

This is where the image sensor sizes will come into effect, let's zoom in 100 in post editing. So I could be wrong here, but if you look really closely, I'm sure that veil wasn't part of the original painting, I'm sure they've added that after but anyway, back to the quality of the details. It's really clear to me that the mate 40 pro wins this one by a long shot, followed by the note and then the Sony, and I'm actually really blown away at how well the Huawei Mate.40 pro has done here. You can even see the paintbrush strokes on the image. That is very impressive picture number three.

So this one is a perfect example of where smartphone auto modes can get it wrong. This is a picture of a euro fighter. Typhoon made up of random parts, but it's also behind Plexiglas and there's quite a lot of lights on it too. So it's a very harsh condition for a photo, and you'll see both the note and the mate.40 pro have gone, overly warm with the white balance, and this is where the Sony photo pro app comes into play again with this manual controls, it's kind of given at the edge, because I've been able to really spend a bit of time getting that white balance to where it should be, so that it matches actually how it looks when you're standing there, and I really like the Sony picture in this one. Let me know what you think about this result.

It's an interesting one leave a comment below picture four, so this one should give you a good idea of HDR performance. This is the iconic Afro Lancaster bomber. If you were wondering- and once again I really had to look hard to come to a conclusion here. All three of these photos are pretty good and have done a good job with handling that bright light on the ceiling and the reflections on the floor on the Sony. I did go into the settings and toggle on the auto HDR because it will never do it automatically unless you toggle that on, and you can see it actually really works, but I kind of messed up the shutter speed here, because you've got this kind of dark areas, particularly in the shadows under the plane, we're losing some details there.

If I had to set it for a longer exposure, it would have absorbed more light, and therefore we would have had a brighter image, my bad, but when it comes to the phone that performed the best, I probably have to go with the note 20 ultra here. The mate 40 is very close as well and does a great job overall with the HDR. You know what between those two is so close, it's hard to call, let me know which photo you like the best here anyway, take a quick look at these mug shots, and what we're going to do now is done some side by side, video comparison, and then we'll get straight into the lens test and then the night mode, which is my favorite section of the video that's going to be towards the end, so make sure you stick around for that and, like Arnie says I'll, be back, do so home. So this was a tasty burger and food picks are, of course, of utmost importance when it comes to cameras on smartphones. So I took this one for you choose your winner.

Let me know- and now it's time for my favorite section, the night shootout night picture one. So the Sony is the only phone without an actual night mode. So it's really down to manually adjusting the shutter speed, the ISO, the white balance and the eV levels to get a good night photo, and it sounds really complicated, and it can be. If you don't know what any of that stuff means and that's why I made an entire video explaining how to use Sony's photo pro app I'll link that at the end of this one, so you can clearly see that the Huawei captures a crazy amount of light and clearly delivers the brightest picture of the three. The note 20 ultra also puts in a stellar performance when it comes to night shots.

Both of these pictures have that kind of AI enhanced look which is really nice, and I like it personally, but do you like it or do you prefer the more natural kind of darker shots that you get, that kind of look more true to life from the Sony, as opposed to that AI? Enhanced look, let me know, and let's move on to night picture too. So I shot this one on top of a multistory car park in north London. Luckily, there was a railing there for me to stabilize the Sony phone. While I was doing a slightly longer exposure, and again it was tricky to get the white balance right when you do a longer exposure, it's really hard to get that right, and you can see here. The results are pretty interesting.

I'm actually really liking. The note 20 ultra pictures out of the three of these I'm sure I could have done better with the Sony, but I just didn't have that much time and again the Huawei is really strong when it comes to night photography, you could make a case for any of these. Let me know what you think: let's move on to picture three? No! I know this isn't the most exciting picture in the world, but there is something fascinating here that I noticed when it comes to the three phones ability to handle digital noise, you'll notice on the Sony picture, there's a lot of artifacts in the sky, a lot of digital noise- and this is also slightly visible on note- 20 ultra picture 2, but not quite as bad, but then on the Huawei. It really blows my mind that there is basically none of that at all. It does such a good job of smoothing out those areas even when taking shots with very high ISO.

I'm impressed night picture four, so you might look at these pictures and think the Sony picture looks a little off. But again it's one of those times when I spent ages trying to match the white balance as good as I could to what I could see at the time, and it wasn't easy, and it really was that dark and that orange hue was really there because of the streetlights. So it is pretty accurate, but with that said, I definitely prefer the note 20 ultra photos and the mate 40 pro photos, although they're not 100 true to life, they just look a bit more striking to me and I do like night modes on smartphones. I wish that Sony would work on one just so we had the option to use it. It is really great to have that manual control, and you can get great photos using it.

It just takes a lot longer. So let me know what you guys prefer: that AI enhanced look or that natural look from the Sony and do you think Sony should add an actual night mode onto their phones in the future and here's the last photo of my favorite cinema here in north London.
