what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back for this camera comparison we
have the brand new iphone 12 and of course the samsung galaxy s20 so for this recording i'm
using the front-facing cameras on both devices and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second however i
could actually do 4k at 60 frames per second with both devices so as always through this video we're
gonna see a bunch of daytime pictures i have some portrait mode pictures some ultra white pictures
some zoom pictures we have a bunch of nighttime pictures using the night modes on both devices
sample videos and of course selfies and with that being said i think we should start by checking
out some portrait mode pictures and we'll move on from there all right so after looking at the
portrait mode pictures that i took it seems that the samsung galaxy s20 does better for
edge detection in almost every single picture the only one that doesn't do that good is the picture
of me but for all the other pictures um the edge detection from the s20 is better now color wise
personally i prefer the colors from the pictures taken by the iphone 12 so i wish there would be a
way to combine the pictures um from both devices into one because that's how we would get perfect
portrait mode pictures so what do you guys think which ones do you prefer um the most the ones
taken by the iphone 12 or um the samsung galaxy s20 definitely leave a comment and let me know
all right next we are moving on to some pictures taking the ultra wide lenses on the back of these
two devices and here the main difference that i've noticed is the fact that the pictures taken by the
iphone 12 are a bit sharper so every single one if you look close enough the sharpness is
better from the iphone 12. as for colors i have to say that they both kind of look um similar so
for picture sticking the ultra wide lens i would personally choose the pictures taken by the iphone
12 but once again check out these pictures and let me know on your thoughts next we are going
to move on to some five-time zoom pictures but keep in mind that on the back of the iphone 12 we
don't actually have a telephoto lens where on the back of the s20 we actually have a telephoto lens
so obviously all the zoom pictures that you're gonna take with these two devices so if you do
five times zuma like i did most pictures are going to be better from the samsung galaxy s20
but again that was to be expected since we have that telephoto lens on the back so the zoom on
the s20 is a combination of digital and optical zoom where the zoom from the iphone 12 is just
a digital zoom as for all the other pictures so pictures taking the main lenses on the back of
these two devices it's kind of difficult to tell which one is better because certain pictures from
the iphone 12 are better certain pictures from the galaxy s20 are better so it's difficult pointing
the one that does better with the main camera realistically no matter which phone you choose
they're both gonna do great now if you do like colors that are a bit more saturated the s20
will definitely be better for that but if you want more natural looking colors i feel that the iphone
12 does better for that dynamic range once again in certain pictures is better from the iphone 12
in certain pictures from the samsung galaxy s20 so no matter which one you choose them i think
they're both gonna do good but um which ones do you guys prefer the pictures from the iphone 12
or the samsung galaxy s20 definitely leave a comment and let me know
next we are going to move on and check out some nighttime pictures that i took with the
s20 and of course the iphone 12 and this year the iphone 12 actually gets a night mode for
the ultra wide lens so the first pictures that you are seeing were taking with the night mode
and the ultra wide lenses on the back of these two devices but for these pictures i have to
say that the samsung galaxy s20 does better for every single picture uh most pictures are
sharper they are brighter and they just overall look better from the s20 and we're talking about
the pictures taking the ultra wide lens now moving on to pictures taking the main lens so
of course we had the night mode for the main lens on the iphone 12 last year as well well that was
the iphone 11 but you know what i mean so for these pictures i feel that the iphone 12 improved
compared to the iphone 11 and it does better than the samsung galaxy s20 most pictures seem to be
a bit sharper and also a bit brighter so if i would have to choose one for ultra white pictures
with the night mode i would choose the s20 but for um the main lens for the night mode i would
definitely choose the iphone 12. what do you guys think about the nighttime on pictures did apple
do good enough with that ultra wide lens in the night mode personally i don't think they did next
we are going to check out some sample recordings that i've done with the s20 and the iphone 12.
now after the last software update for my s20 something happened to the immi stabilization
sometimes it works as it should sometimes it doesn't and you have to do like a phone restart
so it can go back to normal yesterday was one of those days when the recordings just don't
look that great and i've seen this happening in the past but i caught it in time well
i didn't catch it yesterday so you're gonna see the footage how it came from the s20 so the image
stabilization is just absolute garbage and this is a phone is like a thousand dollars which is kind
of unacceptable in my opinion i'm also going to include a little clip after a full restart where
the image stabilization works as it was intended and with that being said let's check out those
recordings but overall i feel that the iphone 12 did better for all the recordings daytime and
nighttime recording so let's check those out all right this is our first video recording between
the iphone 12 and the samsung galaxy s20 for this recording i'm using the main lenses on the back of
these two devices and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second so we're gonna pan this way slowly
we'll keep going and i'm gonna walk straight for a bit so you can see how the image stabilization
does on both devices while walking
we'll stop somewhere around here i'm guessing
and we'll uh panna left slowly once
again and we'll walk this way a bit faster
so yeah this is our recording in 4k at 30 frames per second the main lens on the back of the iphone
12 and of course the samsung galaxy s20 would look like under these conditions and we're moving
on to another quick sample recording between the samsung galaxy s20 and the iphone 12 but
for this recording i'm using the ultra wide lens on the back of these two devices and once again
i'm recording in 4k at 30 frames per second both devices could also do 4k at 60 frames per second
and the samsung galaxy s20 can also record in 8k just in case you're wondering so yeah this
is going to look like from these two devices if you're using the ultra wide lenses on the back and
recording in 4k at 30 frames per second so we're going to stop here for a bit we'll pan left slowly
and back right
all right this is a quick recording between the s20 and the iphone 11 with the main lens
and the recording in 4k at 30 frames per second so i wanted to show you how the recording would
actually look from the s20 after restart because now the image stabilization does seem to work um
a bit better so yeah that's what happens with the s20 sometimes sometimes the image stabilization
just stops um working randomly but if it does work um this is how the footage would look like
and we also have a super quick 1080p at 30 frames per second recording between the samsung galaxy s
20 and of course the iphone 11. keep in mind that it is a bit windy here and then you can
also hear some traffic and water to my left and to my right so this whole recording in
1080p between these two devices would look like if you are walking normally basically
all right we have a quick video testing low light between the samsung galaxy s 20 and the
iphone 11 for this recording i'm using the main lens and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second
so we're heading this way because it's a bit uh darker around here
we're gonna stop here and we'll pan right slowly
and back left and walk this way
so yeah this is our recording in low light between the s20 and the iphone 11
would look like on a fairly windy day and with a rainy day as well
next we are moving on to another quick recording in low light between the s20 and
the iphone 12 but for this recording i'm using the ultra wide lenses on the back of these two devices
so we're gonna walk this way quickly it is raining unfortunately tonight so walk this way for a bit
so yeah ultra wide lens is 4k 30 frames per second between the iphone 12 and the samsung galaxy s20
and next we are going to move on and check out some selfies that i took with the s20 and
obviously the iphone 12. now this year with the iphone 12 we also get a night mode for selfies
something that we didn't have last year for the iphone 11. all right so for daytime selfies well i
feel there is no comparison because um the selfies that you take with the s20 have this beautifying
filter on well even though i turned that off so i do look much younger in the selfies taking by the
s20 but in reality i look um how the iphone 12 takes um the selfies so for daytime selfies the
iphone 12 does better and it seems that it does better for nighttime selfies as well with that new
night mode for selfies so there you have it the s20 and the iphone 12 now in my opinion i would
choose the iphone 12 over the s20 just because it does better and it's more consistent in the
picture and video quality the ice 20 isn't that consistent sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
and once again this is actually more expensive than uh this one all right guys hopefully you
