hey what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back for this camera comparison we have
the brand new iphone 12 pro max so the latest and greatest from apple and the samsung galaxy
s20 and i know you're gonna say why not the s20 ultra well i don't have that phone so we
are gonna have to do with the s20 so for this recording i'm using the front facing cameras
on both devices and of course recording in 4k at 30 frames per second as always through this
video we are going to see a bunch of daytime pictures i have some portrait mode pictures
we have zoom pictures pictures taking the ultra wide lens after those we are going to see a bunch
of nighttime pictures using the night modes on both devices of course sample videos and selfies
and just before we start make sure that you press that like button it's going to help this
video quite a lot and what basically me so let's start with some portrait mode pictures
all right so after looking at the portrait mode pictures that i took um it seems that the samsung
galaxy s20 does better for edge detection in every single picture if you look at her hair or my hair
well the edge detection is better in the pictures taken by the s20 but for colors i feel that the
iphone 12 pro max does a bit better because it does have colors a bit closer to reality
the s20 has somewhat more saturated colors not to mention that if you look at my face and her face
you're also going to notice that the samsung galaxy s20 almost has like a filter over
our faces making us look a bit younger and of course changing um the color of our faces a bit
so personally i feel that i would choose the iphone 12 pro max over the samsung galaxy s20
even though the s20 did better for edge detection but what do you guys think which ones do you
prefer the ones taken by the iphone 12 pro max or the samsung galaxy s20 definitely leave a comment
and let me know all right next we are moving on to some zoom pictures and the first pictures that
you're seeing i did five times zoom so both devices are using a combination of digital and
optical zoom and for all the five-time zoom pictures that i took the iphone 12 pro max
seems to do better in every single picture all the pictures are sharper so for five times zoom on the
iphone does better but moving on to 10 times zoom well here the situation changes completely so the
samsung galaxy s20 does better for every single picture um what i did 10 times zoom so i feel that
the s20 does better overall for zoom pictures because if you want to zoom in somewhere
far um the s20 will do better so for five times zoom the iphone will do okay 10 times zuma
the s20 will do better well once again what do you guys think about those zoom pictures that
you've just seen definitely leave a comment and let me know and we are moving on to some pictures
that took the ultra wide lenses on the back of these two devices well a lot of these pictures
actually look pretty similar but in some of those pictures taken by the samsung galaxy s 20 dynamic
range seems to be somewhat better other than that the colors from the iphone 12 pro max do seem a
bit more natural even though i don't find them the colors from either device to be that accurate for
the ultra wide lens so for the ultrawide lens i think i'm going to say that the samsung galaxy
s20 does a bit better just because of that better dynamic range and next we are moving
on to pictures they took the main lenses on the back of these two devices well here things kind of
change and i was kind of expecting that because we do have a better camera on the iphone 12 pro max
so first of all dynamic range is pretty much every single picture taken by the iphone 12 is better
and the colors from the pictures taken by the iphone 12 pro max are better in every single
picture so even though the s20 did better for the ultra wide lens i feel the iphone 12 pro max does
better in every single picture taken by um the main lens but once again check out these pictures
and let me know your thoughts in a comment down below next we are going to move on and check out
some pictures that i took in low light and with the s20 and of course the iphone 12 pro max so
for the nighttime pictures they are about to see i use the night modes for the pictures taken by
the ultra wide lens and of course for the main lenses on both devices all right so first pictures
taken with the ultra wide lens and the night mode and i have to say none of them does that
spectacularly well for the ultra wide lens and i was kind of expecting that but if i would be to
choose the one that does a bit better i feel that the iphone 12 pro max does a bit better because
some of those pictures have a bit less noise some of them because some have less noise from the s20
and some of them are a bit brighter so overall i think i would still choose the iphone 12 pro max
forum the ultra wide lens moving on to the main lens well here i feel that the iphone 12 pro max
does better than the s20 for every single picture mostly because every single picture is sharper so
i guess that bigger sensor that we have in the iphone 12 pro max actually helps but i was kind
of expecting a bit more than what we are seeing here so i'm gonna say that for nighttime pictures
using the night mode um between the s20 and the iphone 12 for max the iphone 12 pro max does a bit
better but once again let me know your thoughts in a comment down below next we are going to move
on and check out some sample recordings that i've done with the iphone 12 pro max and of course the
samsung galaxy s20 and first we are talking about the main lens so for the main lens and
daytime videos the iphone 12 from x does better for everything stabilization colors sharpness
everything is better from the iphone 12 from x and i was kind of expecting that and the same
goes for nighttime recordings done with the main lens which once again i was kind of expecting that
now for sound quality it seems that the samsung galaxy s20 does better in most
situations mostly when it's windy when it's windy the iphone 12 from x doesn't do that um
great as for the recordings done with the ultra wide lens well the samsung galaxy s20 does have
better image stabilization in those recordings but the iphone 12 max does better for everything else
so for video recordings i'm gonna say that the iphone 12 pro max does better than the samsung
galaxy s20 and with that being said let's check all those recordings and i will be right back
all right we're moving on to a quick video recording between the samsung galaxy s20 and the
iphone 12 pro max for this recording i'm using the main lens on both devices and recording in 4k at
30 frames per second so we're going to be walking this way for a bit just you can see how the image
stabilization does on both devices while walking i'm also going to run a bit just once again so
you can see how the image stabilization does and it's also a bit windy at this time so we're going
to stop somewhere around here i'm going to pan left slowly so basically towards that building
so aside from my voice you should hear some traffic some wind and maybe some water so
yeah this is how uh recording the main lens on the samsung galaxy s20 and the iphone 12 pro max would
look like under these conditions and we're moving on to another quick recording between the samsung
galaxy s20 and of course the iphone 12 pro max for this recording i'm using the ultra wide lenses
on the back of the two devices and once again recording in 4k at 30 frames per second so i'm
also going to do a bit of running i'm just going to go here we'll stop here and we'll pan right
so towards that building from what i'm seeing on the screens here uh the image on the s20 is way
more saturated but again we're gonna have to see how this footage actually looks on the computer
so we'll keep walking this way for a bit and i'm gonna start running so you can see how the image
stabilization does um while i'm using the ultra wide lenses on the back of these two devices
so yeah ultra wide lens 4k at 30 frames per second with the iphone 12 pro max and the samsung galaxy
s20 all right we're moving on to a quick video recording in low light between the iphone 12
pro max and of course the samsung galaxy s20 for this recording i'm using the main
lens and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second so we're gonna pan on to the right so
when it gets dark around here just wanna see which device does um better little panel left slowly
and walk this way it is a bit windy so you're probably gonna hear
some wind aside from my voice so i figured um we'll walk that way there's the left here
because it should get a bit um dark around here as well so yeah this is our recording with the
main lens between the samsung galaxy s20 and the iphone 12 pro max would look like in low light
and we're moving on to another quick recording between the s20 and the iphone 12 pro max
but for this recording i'm using the ultrawide lenses on their backs and of course recording
in 4k at 30 frames per second so from what i'm seeing on the screens here um the image is way
brighter on the s20 but a bit sharper on the iphone 12. so if you're planning to record
to the ultrawide lens i feel that the s20 may do a bit better in some situations of course
next we are going to move on and check out some selfies well for daytime selfies it feels
that the iphone 12 pro max does better because it maintains the details of my face much better than
the samsung galaxy s20 the s20 kind of has like a beautifying filter even though i did turn that
off as for my time selfies i can't really say that either of them does that great they are
kind of mediocre on both of them but if i would be to choose one maybe the iphone but realistically
for nighttime selfies none of them does that great so there you have it the iphone 12 pro max and the
samsung galaxy s20 so overall i feel that the iphone did better than the s20 but let's keep
in mind that the s20 is a few months old now and this is also the cheaper device out of the two
once again leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts about the s20 and
the iphone 12 pro max thanks for watching and i will see you guys in the next one
