hey you guys it's max and Nadine from Max Tech and the last couple of days
we're seeing a bunch of reviews hit YouTube hip websites and most people are
saying that the no 10 and no 10 Plus have basically the same cameras as the
s-series the photos are the same and they're
basically good cameras but not great now at the event we were thinking similar
things right yeah soon as we saw the event we basically thought that haze
got identical cameras and it honestly just looked really underwhelming but
after using them for a couple of days we've completely changed our minds now
we've been testing camera phones and cameras for a number of years now and
Samsung has also always had pretty good cameras but they never reached
top-of-the-line there are always a step behind especially the iPhone and with
the 10s that really gave the note 9 strong beating until now when the S 10
came out they took a nice leap forward and they matched and exceeded the iPhone
in a number of images but they just were not very consistent sometimes it looked
great other times there were other issues now
before we show you guys side-by-side shots and tell you what is really
impressing us in some images that just flat-out shocked us and change our mind
completely and made us make this video well you know what issues we had in the
past so starting off with white balance that was usually really inconsistent we
have actually a long list here of issues that would pop up
yeah like over sharpening sometimes we zoom in and see a bunch of over
sharpening especially with the telephoto lens a lot of the time we'd experience
over saturation like the colors just not looking realistic compared to the iPhone
colors we would get underexposing especially when there's a person in the
frame so they would just be too dark for the image and on top of that we had
would have too much contrast so blacks in dark parts of an image would be just
crush the detail be gone and then under the eyes would be pretty dark as well
and what was really annoying was that the beauty face mode will be defaulted
on it would really just smooth out every little detail on your face now it
doesn't do that anymore it looks a lot better you actually see the detail
little wrinkles in your face so it actually looks more realistic and
another thing we experienced was aggressive denoising like in low light
it would just denoise your whole face you just can't rid of all the details it
would just be ridiculous and I remember like on a jacket we had like a denim one
or something with a Python and it was completely gone now the other thing was
dynamic range and we're talking about the previous couple phones where it was
really poor things would get blown out clouds get blown out and it just looked
fake we would actually have ghosting around certain things that it would try
to mix together looked really weird and then a detail also wasn't great compared
to especially the iPhone but now we're gonna take a look at our unbiased
comparison that we did with Angelica if you haven't seen this yourself and you
didn't yep go in look at the photos without knowing which one is which and
voted and commented that is a lot of fun to see the pause this video go check
that one out it's a little have a link in the video description but let's go
ahead and jump in and take a look if you guys want to see our two opinions so
this is a selfie comparison this was right when I did my triple comparison
with 1 + 7 Pro and we were really surprised okay so both the 1 + 7 Pro and
the iPhone 10s max looked a little bit too dark and the colors are a little bit
off but the note 10 + actually nails it with the white balance it nails the
whole the face the lighting everything just looks so nice and neutral and
smooth now this shot is extreme dynamic range we have the Sun hitting the
waterfall in the background super dark under the bridge what were your thoughts
on this one so first of all see the 1 + 7 Pro it gets these bricks back here
it's just way too dark and for the iPhone the waterfall right here is way
too cool in overall does the white canvas good balance and so this is an
example where the Samsung doesn't do as good as the iPhone so the iPhone usually
is under exposing a lot of these images and it really works out here this is
extreme even a high-end DSLR would struggle here with the raw image next
one here and this is what absolutely blew my mind what do you think well now
obviously you guys can actually see clouds in the background of the note 10
plus and surprisingly with the iPhone I thought
it would do better than this I started with the best isn't horrible so when I
shot this I thought yeah I'm not going to use this example they're all gonna
look horrible this is too hard of a situation in the Samsung blew our minds
this is a 10 times zoom image so the oneplus has a three times zoom on the
telephoto so or two it definitely is more detailed it has that edge but color
wise where the Samsung used to usually be to cool it actually nails to the
white balance so this one right here was supposed to be a portrait photo but
unfortunately the oneplus 7 pro failed to blur out the background like the
iPhone and the note 10 plus did and the iPhone overall it was darker like it
didn't expose the paper and cup sign as well as a NOAA 10 plus so that's why
we're going with the no 10 and then the next one is a food photo and here
actually use the new food mode setting so it blurs out kind of you can kind of
adjust it the one thing that I really liked is it nailed the white balance to
reality the iPhone I don't know why it is so blue and really cool and also
really flat so somehow I don't know if it knows what your food is but it kind
of kicked up you should it kicked up the the contrast but we're just here kicked
up the saturation and this is what makes me want to eat it the happy that that's
how I kind of judged the oneplus one looks good
and then we also had a macro shot here yeah it looks really good I mean with
the a honestly it just kind of looks disgusting it like doesn't have any
color in there it just looks very flat not another contrast and with the
oneplus 7 pro it's a little bit too dark I think it's maybe too much contrast and
overall like the most well-balanced photo is from the note 10 plus what what
impressed me is the white balance this is one thing I pointed out before the
white balance on the Samsung's would be really inconsistent but judging based on
this white shot and then I switch to a telephoto camera cropped all the way in
and the white balance is identical between the two whereas the oneplus
actually shifted from slightly too cool to slightly too warm the iPhone was
still too cool where the Samsung state exactly the same okay and this one is
our first photo portrait shot I like this image a
lot I think the oneplus might be a little
bit better with the color slightly more accurate but it is detailed and it
doesn't have a lot of noise because of that faster aperture whereas with
iPhones one thing because of that F 2.8 right is it or is it a 2.5 so because of
that you don't have as much light and there's a lot of kind of noise in the
image in this photo the first thing that sticks out to me is you're definitely
getting more detail with the note 10 plus the iPhone looks really really flat
in your lacking contrast lacking details lacking color whereas with the note 10
plus that's actually what it looked like it looks really really good and look for
the 1 + 7 Pro it just looks a little bit weird like the colors are off and you're
getting like blown out detail on the buildings so the better photo is
definitely from the note 10 plus so this is our first selfie portrait photo and
the note it's not perfect on the edging but it does a pretty good job the blurry
looks good and it definitely pops the most the iPhone is underexposed it looks
kind of flat and the oneplus it looks really bad so this is backlit so the Sun
is hitting the lens there we get a bunch of flaring in the corner her hair is
blown out the edging is messed up over here it doesn't look good so here we do
have some skin smoothing yeah but it's not over the tops good it's not over the
top now we have a selfie of a team yeah so coming on this one so the iPhone is
slightly underexposed it still looks really good in the situation whereas the
oneplus you look like a vampire or a zombie blue the skin is kind of I don't
blotchy or texture nice it just looks bad yeah exactly lifeless we're here the
Samsung you see you look like you have my wife in your skin nice and warm you
have the sunset in the background the white balance looks good it's a good
image so the next three photos are taken at night and this particular one right
here first of all you can tell that the iPhone does not have night mode like the
other two cameras do and one thing with the note 10 plus is photo it's a little
bit too bright and a little bit oversaturated but in general you've got
more detail the colors look really nice so I think you'd want to take this one
home with you and here's another one this is a selfie without flash
and so the only one that I can actually see myself in is the Samsung and it's
nice that they now have a dedicated night function and you can actually use
it on the selfie camera which you cannot use with the s10 plus even with the
update now for this last image this is also a nighttime shot and in this
situation the Samsung actually didn't do the best the oneplus did really good
mainly because the Samsung is slightly too bright and it's also a little bit
blurry I actually took a couple shots here one at the telephoto and that one
looked really really great I want to point out that we're not Samsung fanboys
as you guys know we're both iPhone users we've used iPhones for a very long time
and we've preferred those photos up until now where overall you definitely
want to be having the note 10 plus in your pocket for taking photos so if you
guys aren't already subscribed I would definitely recommend that you do so
right now click that button because I'm gonna be switching to the note 10 plus
for a week after using an iPhone for I think four or five years already I've
been using the iPhone so it's definitely gonna be a very new experience so
definitely subscribe for that and we just wanted to make this video to say
that there's been some huge improvements we haven't expect them a lot of other
people are not mentioning them but we want you guys to know about it and maybe
you guys are gonna be as surprised as we were so we had to tell you so if you
guys want to see some other videos we have a couple posted right over here
somewhere I don't know where we're gonna put over there somewhere there's not
enough room up there you guys check out our other videos and this one Max and
with max tech and we'll see you in the next one
