for today's camera comparison we have the brand new poco x3 gt and then we have the highly popular
iphone 12. now price wise you can buy about three of these for the price of an iphone 12.
so the main purpose of this camera comparison is to show you what an affordable device like
the poco x3 gt can do when compared to a flagship like the iphone 12.
alright so i think we should start by checking out some daytime pictures and more specifically
some pictures that i took with the ultrawide cameras on the back of these two devices
okay so looking at the ultrawide pictures that i took i have to say i was quite impressed by
the pictures they took the x3 gt so first of all the colors in those pictures aren't over
saturated as they are in the pictures taken by the iphone 12. so pretty important for me now picture
sharpness is about the same but dynamic range in the pictures taken by the iphone 12 seems to be a
bit better and also the iphone 12 has the somewhat wider field of view but overall i have to say the
poco x3gt did really well with that ultra wide camera moving on to some five-time zoom pictures
well here keep in mind that neither device has a telephoto lens on the back so everything that you
are seeing is digital zoom now here i can't really say that one phone does better than the other one
because in a couple of pictures the iphone 12 does better but for a couple of pictures the poco x3
gt does better so for five times zoom pictures realistically neither device does that amazing
moving on to some portrait mode pictures well looking at the subject so myself and my daughter
the edge detection around the subject is somewhat similar in between the two devices but for dynamic
range the iphone 12 does seem to do better in most pictures so for portrait mode pictures i
personally prefer the pictures taken by the iphone 12. but definitely leave a comment down below and
let me know your thoughts do you prefer the poco x3 gt or the iphone 12 for those portrait mode
pictures and we're gonna move on and check out some pictures that i took with the main cameras
on the back of the two devices and of course all the pictures that you are seeing right now
are taking on auto mode and about a second apart from each other now here once again i can't really
say that one phone does better than the other one because some pictures are better from the
iphone 12 some pictures are better from the poco x 3gt and a lot of pictures do look fairly similar
so for daytime pictures using the main cameras you can't really go wrong with either device in
my opinion so i'm going to let you guys watch a few more pictures and i'll be back right after
next we're gonna move on and check out some pictures that i took at night of course with
the iphone 12 and the poco x3 gt now for those nighttime pictures i use the night modes on both
devices and the night modes are also available for the main cameras and for the ultrawide cameras
on both devices and we're starting with some pictures that took wood ultra wide on camera
now even though the poco x3 gt is the much cheaper device it feels like every single picture that i
took on the ultra white lens and of course that night mode is better than the picture
that i took with the iphone 12. mostly because those pictures are a bit sharper even though the
pictures from the iphone 12 are a bit brighter but you can easily edit that so overall for the
ultra wide camera and the night mode it feels the poco x3 gt does better than the iphone 12 which
is quite impressive considering how affordable this phone is but moving on to pictures they took
the main cameras and the night mode well things change here so it seems that every single picture
taken by the iphone 12 is better than the picture that i took with the poco x3 gt so for the main
camera it seems that the iphone 12 has the bigger sensor and of course the better one in this case
so all the pictures taken by the iphone 12 are a bit sharper and also a bit brighter taking
the main camera so overall with the ultra wide lens at night the poco x3 gt will do better but
for the main camera the iphone 12 will do better than the poco x3 gt but once again leave a comment
down below and let me know your thoughts about the nighttime pictures and these two devices
next we're gonna move on and check out some sample video recordings that i filmed with
these two devices so if you're using the main cameras on their backs they can both do 4k at
30 frames per second and they also have image stabilization at that resolution of course
the iphone 12 can also do 4k at 60 frames per second something that the poco x3 gt cannot do
but the video quality for that main camera is really good now for the ultra white camera and
the front-facing camera the iphone 12 does seem to do better in those situations so i'll let you guys
watch those sample recordings and i will be right back all right we have a quick recording in 4k at
30 frames per second between the poco x3 gt and of course the iphone 12. so i'm gonna stop here for
a second we're gonna pan left doors these flowers i'm actually gonna walk towards the flowers here
so at this resolution both devices um support ima stabilization and of course i have that
um enabled for this particular recording it's also a bit windy so you may hear some wind aside
from my voice in this um particular recording so yeah if you're recording in 4k at 30 frames per
second with the poco x3 gt and the iphone 12 this is how the footage will look like
all right and we're moving on to a quick recording with the front facing cameras on the poco
x3 gt and of course the iphone 12. now the maximum recording resolution for the poco
x3 gt with the front-facing camera is 1080p at 30 frames per second where the maximum
recording resolution for the iphone 12. the front-facing camera is 4k at 60 frames per second
it doesn't seem that the poco x3 gt has image stabilization available for the front-facing
camera at this particular resolution however we do get image stabilization for the rear camera so
yeah this is how recording with the front-facing cameras on these two devices would look like
and we're moving on to a quick recording with the ultra wide cameras on the back of the iphone 12
and of course on the back of the poco x3 gt now if you're recording the ultra wide cameras on the
back of the two devices the maximum recording resolution for the poco x3 gt is um 1080p at
30 frames per second we do seem to have image stabilization at that resolution with iphone of
course the maximum recording resolution for that ultrawide camera is 4k at 60 frames per second so
yeah this is how recording would the ultrawide camera on the back on the backs of these two
devices would look like all right we have a quick video recording in low light between the poco x3
gt and of course the iphone 12 for this recording i'm doing 4k at 30 frames per second and using
the main cameras on the back of the two devices we're gonna stop here i'm gonna pan right slowly
we'll keep going slowly
and we'll um go back left and keep walking straight for a bit
so yeah this whole recording in low light between these two devices would look like
so what do you guys think about those video recordings personally i wasn't
expecting that the poco x3 gt would do that well with that main camera i was impressed by
the video quality from the main camera and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second
all right next we're gonna move on and check out some selfies well for selfies i personally
prefer every single selfie taken by the iphone 12. the colors do seem a bit more
realistic in the pictures taken by the iphone 12 for the daytime selfies and for the night itself
it's not to mention the nighttime selfies from the iphone 12 are also a bit sharper so there you
have it this is the poco x3 gt what do you guys think about it is it good enough for the cameras
good enough for its price definitely leave a comment and let me know alright
guys hopefully you enjoyed this video thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
