I think that the s20 fe is the jack of all trades....gonna go for that one

[@robr8213]

I like the S20 FE. Vivid colours, no dullness. Not boring...

Very true..I am using it now as my daily driver! Simply amazing to finally hold a flagship phone in my hand, its like a dream come true

[@fernandocastillo3670]

TechTubers always talk about how other companies caught up google in photos but not a single word for Google catching up in video quality.

[@Beanjuice]

I've noticed this as well. Also when the Pixel does tend to lead by margins they tend to nitpick at shit that they don't in other images just to justify their obvious biased pick.

[@johncenakiddo]

dudeeee soo truee, pixel 5's video quality surprised me

[@hdwblade]

Because Google hasn't caught up in video quality. Their image processing is fantastic in photos, but it can't be done in real time for video. So you end up with a much more grainy video when it comes to any type of lower light shooting.

[@RennieAsh]

@@hdwblade In some cases it has. Night is not so good due to bumping up the brightness heaps and using that older sensor. But day time is quite good at times.

[@hdwblade]

@@RennieAsh yep! But that can be said about just about any smartphone released over the past 3 years :/

[@arress2052]

Hahaha. I've been saying this for years. I guess people like looking like oranges.

[@DanielNeubauer]

Finally one who says it like it is. iPhone skin tones are completely orange.

[@jgsk78]

I think this became obvious from I phone 11s, I mean I respect those devices and quality processing but that orange skin is apparent in all comparisons, can you turn it off?

[@supaahflyy]

@@jgsk78 nah you can't. It's just how they process skin. Apple knows if they make people look more tanned, theyll like the photo of themselves more even though its not real

Right now, on samsung's website, if you have a school email, sign into it and you can get the add-on gaming controller for a significant discount. As for the multitouch use that I've experienced, it's gotten a lot better with the October update. I do hear a lot of people on reddit say that touchscreen issues still come up when you use multiple fingers on a game.

I have the s20 FE myself and it is worth it for gaming. I only had minor multitouch issues which was pretty much entirely fixed with the update. I also have the same if not slightly better battery life on my device.

Great video man and nice photos by the way. The fact that the S20 FE at this price can compete with a iPhone 12 and a Pixel 5 is impressive. Here in Brazil the Iphone and Pixel coasts R$ 5.500 at least althrough the S20 can be found at half price R$ 2.400 Looking foward to get one

[@janmatejka9067]

Hello, I have a somewhat specific request and I need advice. I need a phone with an excellent camera (main) and above all with the fastest possible picture. That is, with minimal post-processing. I will be using a company application to take pictures, so I need the camera not to depend on the application itself for image quality. The price does not matter, but ideally it should be an android phone. This is not a technical limitation, but rather a personal preference. Thank's in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.

I'm surprise how Samsung have develop in the camera dept. in their S20 fe.

It is so real that we feel like it brought us at that place...at that moment. Superb!

"consistently inconsistent" is about right. Take a bunch of photos, each one will be the best in a 1/3 of of them.

[@Saethyan]

Was it S20 FE or S20 FE 5G? Because of the different cpu they have slightly different image processing. The Exynos version is slightly worse and produces oversaturated photos in most situations.

[@alexworm1707]

I really dont like the lack of contrast and yellow tint on iphone photos, they all seem like a filter was applied at the end.

[@thememoryguardians]

I'm an apple girl through and through but I love the way Samsung's phone produces the most natural colours but also vibrant looking photos. iPhones's have this awful yellow tinge to every photo (some might say 'warm') no matter the circumstances, and in particular the selfie cam photos are awful, producing flat, boring photos where any amount of skin texture is removed.

[@alevel79]

Great comparative

[@carlosmiguel4756]

Big dilemma here, i'm having a hard decision between buying one of these 3 phones. Can you help me? Which would you buy? iPhone i like a lot, it's powerful, top build, 5 year software updates cameras are good and specially video which i do a lot and i can get for 779. Pixel has google software experience, smooth and simple to use, cameras are good, battery is good but i think performance is not on par with the iphone. Costs me 700 Galaxy S20 FE 5G is a good all around phone, photos are nice, performance is good, battery is good and i can get it for 480 with discount. Which would you get? Big dilemma...

[@checkma8s]

Why you dont include videos?

[@emiljanodervishllari3924]

Google is doing a great job convincing people on internet their camera is the best. I mean they are the internet so i shouldnt be surprised.

[@asifjamirajin2722]

Pixel renders natural color. Keeps the detail . S20 fe renders over saturated colour what you would not like everyday. Personally I prefer pixel 5 .. more than iphones warm color. And look at 9:05. Iphone and s20 fe just forget that the green tree was there. Messed up

[@andyH_England]

They are all great with pros and cons and also very subjective as to colour. I would be happy with any of these though none are perfect in every aspect and due to the algorithms, you could take two photos with the same camera and get different colour temperatures. If I was pernickety re: photography then I would choose none of these, the iPhone 12 Pro Max would be my choice for best camera. Looking forward to testing Pro-RAW now it is on beta 12.3.

[@edgarpereyranardin2568]

Do you think that the s20fe is a good purchase at 570US$ ? In my country you can buy it at that price point

[@papanut3305]

I would say so, but only for the 5g version with the snapdragon. For that you're getting a great processor, great screen with 120 hz, good cameras, good battery, good speakers, water resistance, wireless charging, and a good android skin.

[@Gogeta2vegito]

The heck do you mean the iphone takes "warmer pictures" it's just flat out orange

Pixel seems to have the most balanced and refined approach to processing photos. Maybe not eye catching to most but a look that photography connoisseurs will appreciate a lot.

Truth be told, differences and nuances notwithstanding, for the average consumer, any one of these would be great. The question I have is, would any one of these basically render a point and shoot camera, even a high-end one, redundant or obsolete? Put another way, unless you're prepared to bring a DSLR, or know how to use one properly, would any one of these phones be perfectly adequate to serve as your only camera on vacation?
