this is the last photo so i guess that uh hasselblad 150
million dollar investment it's starting to work hey
guys it's angelica max and vadim and today we are doing another blind
camera comparison with the oneplus 9 pro the iphone 12 pro
max and the s21 ultra i went out and i took a bunch of images
i have 30 of them lined up over here vadim and angelica
have not seen these images so we're going to be taking
a look and they're going to be choosing which one they think looks best without
knowing uh which brand shot at which phone
anything like that so go ahead and get out a piece of paper
or maybe your notes app we want you guys to vote along with us it's a ton of
fun uh because oftentimes we're surprised
so let's go ahead and take a look at the first image right here we have a nice
bright day i think i like the one in the center it
looks the most sharp and i like the white balance the best too
the the street looks a little bit warmer and i think the detail on the bricks
is also good i think the right one looks the most detailed to me
yeah i don't think anybody can guess which one of these images
is from which phone i don't even remember let's do it okay
so here's the one plus nine and which one did you choose the twelve promise
max all right next image here we have a portrait
shot yeah the center that's true that's s21
why is the iphone so blurry that's crazy come on apple
all right and here we have an ultra wide and i gotta say i'm excited for the
oneplus 9 pro because it has a 50 megapixel ultrawide and i've always
been unhappy with ultra ride photos as far as sharpness so what do you think
well i think i'm seeing more detail better
image overall on the left i agree i agree
12 pro max in 12 megapixels right there 12. all right and we have a portrait
shot of the sign i was beginning to like the
one on the left because kind of like this bokeh down here looks kind of nice
but i noticed that there's a big chunk right here
that is not getting blurred where here you can see a little bit of blur on the
outside and kind of the roll-off looks more natural with the background
all right let's take a look oh all right 12 pro max and here is a standard shot
outside no fancy effects but one of these photos is taken with a 108
megapixel sensor another with a 48 and then one with a
12. to me i think it's between the left and
the right in terms of detail i think the one in the center either lacks contrast
or lacks detail and i think the one on the right is too
cool in terms of the white balance so i think i'm going with the left i
like it overall the best uh to me i think the one on the right has
more detail and i don't mind the cooler white
balance i think it makes it look a lot prettier okay
that's right bam interesting looking at you guys results don't tell them
anything yet but all right and we have our first
selfie which shot do i look the best in center
center okay the center first i can't say anything yet no biases for me
no i like it okay the detail on your face the center one looks
definitely the best all right let's go bam
okay 12 pro max what did it do this 20 s21 looks
killer all right so this is an ultra wide shot indoors
cool coffee shop bakery thing can you guys tell the difference
as far as detail at all i mean you guys still choose what you like the best
because two of these are 12 megapixel one is a
cool sounding 50. the one on the right if you look at these
signs i think the text is the most detailed and clear
but on top of that if you look at these lights it's the least blown out
because you actually see the texture in detail where these two are just
literally just globes this one's the worst
yeah 12 pro max how does it do
what's it doing oh is it uh what's it called what's that feature
deficient deep fusion that must be deep this is stacking multiple images okay
now we have a macro shot over here okay so i will say i'll add this in
not all of these smartphones are able to get as close
as the other ones some can get closer than others but i wanted to match these
up so it's still fair if you're taking a
macro shot you want to get close to your subject
this is the best you can get with each phone for me it's got to be the center
because you have all that texture in the skin look at that crazy detail
and the uh the gem the crystal whatever stands out like crazy what would make
you pay more for this necklace what if this was the
overages exactly you can can't really see much on
the others so the center it looks really nice and
12 pro max so these are the original images this is how close
you can get and apple actually has made some updates recently
with how they're doing things so that was actually pretty surprising looks
good and we have some macarons right i like
the one on the right and the back everything else gets a little more
blurry i'm pretty sure vadim might pick the center one but i i
really like how this looks no i'm also going with the one on the
right for the same reason the the depth of field you have this all sharp
and focus and over here you have some nice
blur yeah it kind of gets your attention over here instead of having that image
with the stuff really good one plus nine finally
all right we have a portrait shot outside this was a very difficult
situation obviously it's very harsh lighting i'm going with the right for a
couple of different reasons first off the highlight roll-off on her skin very
natural and in terms of the jacket the detail
looks really good especially if you look down
to the jeans where you see the jean texture so right
i definitely like the right one as well the only thing i don't like about it is
sadly yeah the edge blurring on the hair got messed
up it's really sad everything else i really like
iphone not bad all right and here we are shooting
into the sun i mean this one kills it with the glare like there's no glare
that is impressive yeah you still see sky
you still see contrast this one's probably the worst
but obviously that's good one plus nine it's really okay
and we have a shot of the flag shot of the flag and the one on the
right kills it kills it much more detailed oh
yeah instantly all right s21 ultra
and we have a portrait shot that is backlit
i think i like the one on the right the most even though
it's kind of like washed out in warmth from the glare or whatever but the all
the others have glare too and i don't know it kind of has an
almost dslr feeling to me i like it more than
the others i was really gonna go with the one on
the right for the same reasons as angelica had but there is that just a
little bit of flaring there and it's kind of like less contrasty so
i think i'm gonna go with the center even though it's not perfect
it looks to be like the most clean in terms of
not being as flat due to flaring in detail too
one plus nine to me there's a lot more to me even though there's flaring
there's a lot more detail like in their faces
than the others and it just looks more definitely a lot of differences like
color wise brightness of the faces white balance a
lot of differences here all right and we have some buildings
here to me i think i see more detail on the one on
the right yeah the one on the right is definitely more detailed that is the s21
ultra so like i mentioned you can shoot 108
megapixels which is a mind-blowing number
compared to 48 compared to 12 so it was clear that
with the iphone you definitely are missing out on detail if you care for a
shot like this then we have another one here yep by far
the one in the center destroys the others once again the one
plus well not once again i guess it lost last
time so this is ultra white as you guys could see
50 megapixels is that a gimmick well i guess it's not if we are getting more
detail there outside compared to the other two
all right and we have a portrait shot here
uh just after sunset i think i'm definitely gonna go with the one
in the center it looks the most natural to me and i'm seeing more
detail i'm going with the one on the right the middle
one looks a bit too flat in my opinion all right 12 pro max is average
and we have the androids got the points there
all right and then we have these little guys in coeur d'alene
so this is also a portrait shot a wider portrait shot
i like the one in the center the most there's a lot more contrast and a lot
more blurring with the portrait which makes it
a lot sharper and easier to see i'm also going with
the center it did a killer job with the blur edging especially
with it having more shallow depth of field can i add in it's interesting how
the antler
is like a little bit blurred out here not as much of the background
and this is in focus so it has nice depth whereas this is all in focus here
so so this looks more natural really good yeah more realistic one plus
nine man so i guess that uh hasselblad 150 150 million dollar
investment deal thing they did it's starting to work
it's pretty good all right so we have uh basically sunset time we have a selfie
here i just look mad yeah i don't know if
you're very happy i think i definitely like the one on the
right the most i gotta say i don't know what you're
gonna say but that looks pretty dang good
yeah i definitely have to go with the right yeah the detail is crazy on the
facial hair pores is it like blurred out here like
it's not even focused i don't even know what happened here
so much contrast like the edges on your hair everything and what about all this
noise oh yeah i also don't remember which one
is which i mean i think this might be a samsung because i remember it was great
at selfies but yep s21
and what happened with the oneplus just was there
i was looking at their advertisements and they were like ignoring the selfie
camera they kept focusing on the back here is there a reason for that maybe
all right and we have a shot over here oh definitely the center banner destroys
them wow that looks good center so good yep s21
kills it really good detail and then sun is basically down here i like the
one in the center the most at first i thought the right
just because the white balance everything looked natural but you can
tweak it in post and there's so much more detail with the
center and if you look at like the tassels and everything the others get
like motion blurred or whatever but
everything in the center is kind of perfect
yep i'm also going with the center detail is
much better than the other two and here on the left you can kind of see some
blown out detail in the tassels too so i think the center
12 pro max good all right and we're into nighttime photos this is the ultra
wide here it's got to be the center yep i mean that detail is
killer very good detail and it looks like it actually
um less blown out lights way less blown out you can tell
so it's doing everything great one plus nine plus that's good very good that
ultra wide lens is killer on there yeah apple needs that all right and
this is a standard lens night mode as well do you notice anything about this
i do i know which one's the iphone it's this one um
it has a crazy reflection issue yeah that's super annoying
so that just looks really bad does that mean you're going with the right it says
no reflections at all i have an idea of what of which one this is
i don't remember from putting these together but you see this has a little
bit of reflection but it's blurred out this is flat and
horrible looking this has none like how do they pull that
off yeah it's definitely got to be the right it looks so clean
one plus this looks like closer to a dslr shot
these look like cell phone images right here all right we have a nighttime
tower shot here i mean even though the one on the right is all just
very dark i'm still gonna go with it i think i see much more detail especially
if you look inside of the building uh where they where the
yellow is there's so much noise and artifacting that's 20 s21
this is a portrait shot at night it was very dark here very it doesn't
look like it was very dark all right i'm gonna go with the right
here the one in the center i think is too flat
and i like the how the bokeh looks on the lights in the background
i like how everything's brought up a little bit all right
s21 ultra and we have this crazy scene there's lots of lights
lots of darks lots of colors this is really tough but i'm gonna have to go
with the right just because the other two i don't know if it's
artifacting or something but they just look really weird and unnatural
yep i'm also going with the right it looks incredibly clean
very clean the contrast is there the colors pop and there is some
kind of artifacting noise in the sky whereas this one's incredibly clean and
it still looks like nighttime where this kind of looks like it's
trying to become day this has some color but
very impressive i agree 12 pro max that was surprising very good and we
have an ultra wide shot here and the lights actually weren't changing
at all so this is their white balance and how they are
thinking okay definitely the right okay so you're going for the right
honestly i'm gonna go with the left mainly because the sky
is like pitch black whereas the other two are kind of gray
so i really like that extra level of contrast from the sky being just
see i i don't i don't like that a lot everything over here
is crushed because of that even though this is brought up and it's not as
dark everything is so sharp and clean everything's a good point
that's a good point
12 pro max and one plus nine wow i gotta say i think
so far that's pretty good that ultra wide yeah
in all in all ways is just killing it that is pretty good got a portrait shot
here whoa which one's the worst the center
the center yeah i think in the center her skin is
just underexposed the left the left one's pretty pretty
bad too there's like not as much detail everything's kind of like flat and what
about detail in jeans like you look over here
i'm gonna go with the right even though like i wish the sky was a little bit
more dark but that level of detail and the
exposure and detail of the face and skin is just
yeah it's very good to me the main subject
yeah that is way more and i guess like you can't
get detail if it's not there but you can always add some contrast if you want to
right s21 ultra very good an iphone
and um thankfully emily wanted to take a photo of me
and it actually turned out pretty good definitely the one on the right the
other two are blurry no detail really on your face yep i'm
also going with the right because um the colors kind of stand out his skin
color is kind of separate from like the lights
color whereas these two this is very pink all of it and this is
also very kind of pink purplish whereas that kind of has
it looks natural yeah the sky is very dark but you can still see
like the contrast so basically much better and
pretty much every way 12 pro max oh that's crazy okay
all right we have this is i thought this was just crazy tough
with night mode super dark super bright all these colors all right so this one
is pretty difficult but i am going to go with the left
because the other two kind of take on the same general kind of flat color
like across everything buildings everything but this one has like
depth you know yeah i don't know depth or like the
this looks very clean i think i'm actually gonna go with the
right it seems like less blown out you can see a lot more detail on the inside
i really don't like how the sky looks everything looks kind of flat and bad
but i'm thinking maybe afterwards in post you can edit it add some more
contrast add something to it all right and let's see what it is
oneplus one plus nine and
this yeah whoa what else this is the last photo
uh the phones happen i don't know very dark
and i made sure that's not a fluke i actually took three photos with each one
and i chose uh the best one from each three just for this situation because
it's so dark and you have to hold it steady
this is really really tough but i think i'm gonna go with the one on the left
i'm gonna go with the one on the right so the middle just
everybody wants to choose the middle one the middle's terrible and i feel like
the one on the left is just has a little bit too much contrast and
it's a little bit too dark it almost feels like there's two
floating heads whereas on the right make some good points
everything kind of like you still see the detail in the jackets
so you kind of see what's going on i kind of like the contrast and dimension
because the right one looks pretty flat i feel like you get a
little bit more detail even though it's darker
both look pretty pretty good and close compared all right
one plus nine and i have to look it up after this but no it does not have
uh night mode for the front-facing camera wow it just doesn't happen
really i know we dealt with that with the iphone 11 oh
and now sometimes but i guess oneplus is still behind
in that way so there we have it guys that is the
end so go ahead and pause this video count up
what your scores were make sure to comment down below because we want to
hear your guys's opinion
to see how you scored because opinions are different as you guys could see
i have been trying not to look at you guys's sheets
since it's been a while so make sure you comment down below
and let's see let's have angelica go first what did you get
i was tied between the s21 ultra and iphone 12 pro max so the new oneplus
hasselblad fancy camera system is in third place
for you all right but these two are close all
right and vadim what did you get my scores were very close to hers i got
nine for the oneplus 9 pro 10 for the iphone
and 11 for the s21 ultra very so almost the same
just a couple off that is really surprising just one off
so overall do we have a a new king or no let's see well you get tied you saw
that's the new king i mean it's just very good good inside it does
scenarios and we try to make it i try to make it balance with a lot of different
scenarios
obviously the s21 is killer for the zoom if you care about zoom like every time
was dna that's probably what made it win this thing was
killer for the ultra wide it yeah it was awesome on those and the
iphone i think all around well balanced very well
balanced all around you could say that so
thank you guys for watching um if you guys want to see
