I (Max) took all three of these phones home over the weekend and I took a BUNCH of photos with each of them and I put them all together in a video timeline.
Vadim & Angelika have never seen any of these photos, so they have no idea which photo was taken by which smartphone, so that makes this the MOST UNBIASED camera comparison possible!
I took shots with every single lens from the selfie camera, to the main wide shooter, the ultrawide lens and some zoom shots as well.
I also tested Portrait shots, Night Mode shots and even Night Mode portrait shots to see which smartphone camera is the BEST in 2020.

S21 Ultra: 18 IPhone Pro Max: 10 Samsung used to be the contrasty one and iPhone the true to life. Now sadly it's the reverse. IPhone has many saturated shots and tend to be warmer on the white balance. For the portrait shots iPhone seems to apply certain filter to people's faces to warm the skin tone but in the process sacrificed contrast and flattened the faces. Low light shots sometimes iPhone better sometimes S21 ultra. But to me, the hardware prowess of S21 ultra from the 1cm macro all the way to the 10x zoom just offers the kind of insane DSLR flexibility that iPhone simply can't match no matter how good computational photography is or how capable the A14 chip is.

For me the Samsung is the winner only because of its zoom, making it more versatile and able to take shots the iPhone could never, while in normal scenarios I generally prefer the iPhone but the S21 is not lagging behind. But fundamentally for me that applies every time a phone has more (useful) cameras Honestly, I’m impressed with the portraits on the S21. On the other hand I was disappointed by the S21 for the 3x lens, and overall the shutter speed/nighttime performance, since with such a gargantuan sensor (for a smartphone) it could have been better imo. I hugely disagree for the daytime selfie shot, the S21 looked really “cheap” to me with that greenish tint, extreme contrast and possibly oversharpening, but I’m also used to edit my photos slightly if I need to, so the flat iPhone look works good for that. Would like to also see video included in the next test!

This guy should know that when shooting with night mode or standard, the s21 ultra uses pixel binning, duh. U have to study more about smartphones like rlly

[@ajimmanuel]

S21 Ultra: 17 Apple: 9 Draw: 1 Samsung did a great job this year! Also, thanks for making an unbiased review because this is the only way to get true results. Great video!

[@bobafruti]

Lotsa room for improvement on both, but it’s still amazing seeing so much zoom in a phone camera.

[@stellad.5431]

Great comparison vid guys! 💯

[@Desgeneratico]

The girl at the left and the guy at the right should tell their faces to fake a bit better. They were clearly hoping that the iphone would win and even chose on purpose one photo with a crappy white balance and crashed dark areas (2:50) just because they knew the iphone has a bad white balance. They should remove another point from the iphone and add it to the winner S21 Ultra.

[@_haris_]

In the 3x low light shot, it might be the main camera digitally zoomed in as the software auto switch between the lenses for better focal length.. So even if it shows the higher number, we have make sure whether it switches the lenses in s21ultra.

[@martinezmooney4173]

Yeah, I think so too

[@morm2173]

The s21 is the most amazing camera that I have ever used

[@lewisdoyle]

Wow! Completely surprised by this. I had the S21 Ultra well out in the lead. I’m an Apple guy too but I preferred the S21U images most of the time.

Every once in while they should put the same image on left and right and then let them decide if the left is better or right. That would be an astonishing result

[@fvahamonde]

And there was a software update today improving camera (and some other things). So, are we going to do this test over?

[@jaimelondonboy]

A beautiful comparison video from a beautiful family full of personality. Honestly the best comparison video! I have the S21 Ultra and just want to say that switching off the 108-megapixel mode and switching to the 12-megapixel produces a much cleaner image.

[@carlosr1176]

It’s great when Apple has to compete with others instead of just getting exclusive access to a new tech and using that to differentiate. The iPhone camera no longer justifies the price of the top of the line model. They’ll have to go all in and make their phone cameras be as good as real cameras, not just make them better than other phone cams.

[@nateluthor4643]

Lol the 12 pro max is clearly better and i have it

[@techie0075]

Great video! One suggestion however: Please show more of the original images in future editing, and minimize shooting your laptop screen. So many examples the original images showed so briefly I could hardly make an informed choice myself!

Video quality is close, but the 12 Pro Max beats the S21 Ultra by a noticeable margin.

[@Universem2]

@@Tom_Stevens617 In what ways does it win? Is there a video out there I am on the fence on which to purchase.

[@walkingguy6409]

@@Universem2 honestly, both are great phones. If you value video a lot, get the iPhone. If you value zoom shots a lot, get the Samsung. If you don’t care that much, get whatever you want. They are both great. Which ever you think looks better get. If you might get in to an ecosystem, like buying a macbook, airpods etc, get the iPhone

[@jeffreytownsend6559]

@@walkingguy6409 The IPhone videos actually have a flickering problem.

[@TheiTE]

@@jeffreytownsend6559 Not really, it is because they have a high shutter speed and a better sensor. It might just be an issue with your lights, try shooting at 24FPS. The lights must have been the issue.

[@tommolewis3105]

It really does come down to preference as they are both so excellent, the only real defining factor between the two, is the macro and telephoto is better on the Samsung, and the video and 2.5x portraits are better on the iPhone.

[@tommolewis3105]

@Harsh Gurnani Portrait mode is probably the most used mode on a smartphone camera apart from just ‘auto’.

@@bhale1673 They use AI to study what's already there and make it clearer. Not like Huawei who crops in images from the internet and puts it in. Also, I can take a better image of the moon with the pro mode on my Note 10+ than what the iPhone shot, just that it's not as detailed bc the x10 zoom on my phone is not optical but with the S21 ultra you could get a detailed 10x moon shot without AI and with the pro mode.
