iPhone 12 Mini vs Pixel 5 vs Galaxy S20 FE Camera Comparison Test

[@dannywinget]

Which camera took it? Are you team iPhone, team Pixel or team Galaxy?

[@lucaspanasski331]

How iphone is the most saturated for you ? When i am looking on my iphone 12 screen,photos from camera always looking sooo dull compering to samsungs

[@pankajverma272]

It's a complete switcheroo for sure. Iphone's pics are too Samsung-y (the old samsung)..."How much saturation?" ----- "Yes" And Samsung took some nice neutral colors there. 2020...what an year!!

[@brendanwang8565]

iPhone.

[@vincentshapland7250]

The S20 FE has a pro mode. So things like white balance, saturation, highlights etc. can all be manually adjust. With Pixel and the iPhone you're stuck with how they decide a shot should be handled. Definitely big points to the FE for that!

[@dragos-lucian]

The cameras are great on all of them. You can't go wrong with either one. For me, it all came down to the software. I returned the iPhone 12, which was the first iOS device I ever used, after only 2 weeks of usage because it was simply not for me. I got a Pixel 5 instead and my sanity slowly came back. And maybe I'm weird but I also found the iPhone 12 really uncomfortable to use.

[@lothecruel]

I have the same feelings about my new iphone 12 pro max coming from a Samsung S20. I have to keep it (got on contract), let's see maybe I get used to it.

Iphone 12 is more consistent, bright and sharper but lacks on Stabilization and contrast. S20 FE is more balanced in overall, taking lead at ultrawide, telephoto, supersteady and night mode, but lacks in night video and timelapse a bit. Pixel has more banced brighness and colors but lacks of AI processing sometimes. For the cost, even with exynos, i would go for S20 FE

1/3 in to the video... I can already see. The iPhone images scream "look at me, give me attention", the Galaxy S20 FE does great, but it is a little hit and miss. The Pixel is just so consistant... it easily makes every scenery look like how you see in person reality. It is just reality, even with the small HDR shortcomings from the older sensor. Pixel is my pick. Still.

The Pixel 5 sticks more closely to the real colors, the iphone to the yellows and overlaps the colors, Samsung is a slight balance between the two, but the Pixel is still the best camera.

Without actually 'being there' and seeing/experiencing the actual conditions, colors, lighting, etc in person, it's literally impossible to determine which phone more closely captured each scene's true conditions.

[@dannywinget]

I always thought that for the general public Samsung’s images were most picked. Just straight up over saturation isn’t what the iPhone is doing like what Samsung did before but I think trends are just opposite between the two companies. Back then “natural” was the what Apple played on. Today it’s about out of the camera sharability. Samsung was ahead on that movement and I can almost bet they will shift back to it in 2021.

[@seventysevencats]

You can't talk about or compare dynamic range when taking pictures in HDR or night modes because they're using bracketing to get a better exposure or mode details. To really test the dynamic range of the phones, you should take a single photo with HDR/optimisation/ai off and then see which phone retain most of the details in the shadows and brights areas. But

[@Quoutub]

Google's Night Sight is not more "software" than the default mode. The default mode already combines ≈8 frames. Actually it's just physics. Night Sight uses a much longer exposure time per frame. On a Pixel 3a up to 1s per frame (or even 4s per frame if you hold the phone too steady) whereas the default mode chooses 1/17s per frame (if you hold the phone steady, then it also chooses 1/8s, but then it seems to combine less frames). So 17 times as much light per frame! This has nothing to do with software. And if the iPhone Mini takes a better low-light photo, then this should have nearly nothing to do with the hardware. "Old sensor" is also not really true. The first time the sensor of the Pixel 5 was used was in 2018. Sensors don't improve their low light noise performance significantly every year. Though the sensor of the Pixel 3/5 has a lot of dead pixels.

[@dannywinget]

Thank you for the info. It still is an old sensor. Raw sensor data without night mode has a crap ton of noise. Combining frames or exposure still needs software optimization to reduce the noise and balance the overall image. This is why the processing constantly changes regardless of hardware. Pictures taken today aren’t the same as they were 3 months ago.

[@mharro88]

Definitely preferred the pixel 5 over the other two for sure.
