Google Pixel 5 VS Samsung Galaxy S20 - Camera Comparison

[@geraldovicofslavia1832]

The portrait pictures from the Pixel are the best out of any phone, legit look like they came from expensive cameras

[@robotray562]

S20 is better

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for watching!

[@chandrakant4433]

Since Google banned any kind of beautification in camera app so with Android 11 update you can't see any beauty mode on s20 and other Samsung phone.

[@oluwadarejoshua8595]

Note 20 ultra is wayy better Even the s20

[@MrAlexrolls]

Huawei P30 Pro has better portrait photos. Leica lenses ;)

[@li-weichuang1361]

Thank you for the comparison for pixel 5 and s20. It's hard to make choice. :(

[@seventysevencats]

There are so many fake reviews with that kind of thumbnails, from those channels with stupid names: Techsomething, SomethingTech, etc. I'm glad this video is actually real. I remember from a previous comparison that your girlfriend preferred the iPhone smooth pictures but I think the sharp skin from the Pixels give people a stronger presence, maybe less glamour but a more natural beauty. Doing video recording by overcast days will never be good because there's not enough light to get a really good result. The same test on a bright summer day would look different for both phones.

Yes, i've seen those channels, all fake pictures. Yes you are correct about her preference! She wasn't in the mood to take pictures this time around so she didn't look :)

Very informative comparison. It's surprising that the low light video is sharper, more stabilized and more pleasing on Pixel5 to my eyes. If there's Pixel 6 with a 4K front facing camera and a flagship grade SoC, it'll be even more exciting.

[@Charles-ij1ow]

Great review and real world usage with pics, video, and sound! I have a Pixel XL and didn't notice the high pitch static in my videos until this comparison. Now these phones are the same price on Project Fi I might have to get the S20 because of the sound recording quality. But I do like the size(not tall and thin), pics, and (cleaner) display layout of the Pixel more.

Kind of torn. I have a Pixel 5 ordered but am not sure if I'm going to keep it. I currently use a S20 and don't love it. I've owned Samsung's for years and am just sort of getting tired of them. I especially can't stand how bad the photos blur on them when there's movement. I was hoping for more out of the Pixel 5 but Google definitely played it safe this time. It might push me to go with an iPhone instead which I don't really want to do. Decisions, decisions.

So which phone would you recommend for taking Instagram ready photos without any editing? The easiest to use with the best quality photos? We take a lot of pics of animals and close up portrait style photos for our farm. I've had a Samsung Galaxy for years now. I currently have a Galaxy 10. My husband has a Google Pixel 3a I believe. His photos are far superior than mine. The portrait setting is beautiful & it's so easy to use. His photos are what I would call Instagram ready without any editing.

[@DSTWizz]

Thanks, Alex. For the money, here in the UK the Pixel has it; much more natural colours overall. A very useful comparison, as ever.

[@RedskullPro]

hey alex thanks for the review. just curious, wouldn't it be better if you had uploaded the video to youtube in 60fps?

[@ThomasTVP]

I'v been enjoying your matter-of-fact reviews for years, and this one is no exception. Basically, the Google 5 is using three year-old hardware in the camera(s), and especially in night mode, it appears they've reached the end of the line on how to squeeze the best possible out of those lenses. Portrait photography aside, the S20 performs better across the board in still photos. Time for Google to finally update their camera hardware, I guess.

[@RedskullPro]

Yes and also the lead engineer in the camera department left
