Hey what’s up Sami here. In this video we are gonna compare galaxy s20 ultra camera with mi 10 pro’s.
Again, huge thanks to my partner ifeng tech, for the full review you can check out their channel,
link in the description.
For the camera specs of the S20 ultra, it sports a 12MP Ultra Wide lens, a 108MP Wide-angle lens,
a 48MP Telephoto lens and a DepthVision lens,
which makes the phone supporting 10x hybrid zoom and 100x digital zoom.
As you can see from the interface, S20 Ultra offers six focal lengths for you to choose from.
From our experience, the zoom is quite smooth if you switch between next to each other
but if you switch from 0.5 times to 100 times directly you will notice a huge lag.
I guess it’s because of the firmware problem or the phone we tested was a prototype,
as you can see the official demo of s20 ultra is super smooth.
While comparing to mi 10 pro’s zoom, ahh, honestly xiaomi is not that good,
after all, S20 ultra has a way better hardware.
Now let’s check out more photo samples.
I gotta say the pictures took under the 100x zoom are unusable, they are blurry and noisy.
This kind of zoom is more of a gimmick than practicality in my opinion.
From the pictures the S20 Ultra’s 100x zoom outperforms mi 10 pro’s 50x zoom.
The text looks clearer and less blurry.
While for the 10x and 4x zoom, S20 Ultra's performance is still better than Xiaomi 10 Pro,
it has better picture analysis and color performance.
But you gotta know ultra’s price is almost twice of the Mi 10 pro,
so there is a reason that Ultra uses a better hardware.
Its periscope lens is without doubt better than Mi 10 Pro’s 9MP non-periscope lens.
If you have to use the 100x zoom from the s20 ultra I highly suggest you put on a tripod,
otherwise it’s too shaky to use.
For the primary camera, both phone adopts 108MP lens,
The difference is that the S20 Ultra uses the second-generation technology,
which combines nine pixels into one single pixel and outputs a 12MP image,
while for Xiaomi it combines 4 pixels into one pixel and outputs a 27MP image.
For s20 ultra, after 9 in 1 pixel combination, the pixel area reached to 2.4 μm
and theoretically has a better performance in dark conditions.
As we didn’t have time for night shooting lets just compare what we’ve shot with the two phones.
First let's compare indoor pictures. From this group of photos,
Xiaomi performs better overall, we can clearly see Xiaomi is well exposed on those chairs on the left,
however, S20 Ultra has a better exposure on the right.
While we zoom in, S20 Ultra seems to have better details and crispness.
For these glass cups pictures, S20 Ultra generates a more true to life color than Mi 10 Pro.
When we zoom in, S20 Ultra still has better details,
also, S20 Ultra has a better exposure on the highlight part.
For this one, what do you think? Let us know in the comment section.
We assume S20 Ultra wins for its color accuracy and details
While move to outdoors, the differences are not big.
Xiaomi overall has a pleasing color while S20 Ultra color tends to warm, looks more true to life.
But when zoom in, each Mi 10 Pro photo outperforms S20 Ultra. How’s that possible?
As the Galaxy officials told us that they are still tuning the camera and this not the final performance of S20 Ultra..
hmm, I cant wait to see what the official version of S20 Ultra’s camera has to offer later.
Alright that’s the video, let me know what you think in down below.
Thanks for watching, I'm Sami. See You next time.
