Note 20 Ultra Camera Review: They FINALLY Did It!

[@christmg4682]

0:41 the way this camera handled the hair strands! Mighty impressive! This is the best I've seen a smartphone handle portrait shot so well!!

[@nandihalm7651]

If you zoom in, you can see some background fails, but from the distance the overall picture is impressive

[@Tnbh987]

Completely agree with you.. although I have the Exynos varient of Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra,but when it comes to camera it is definitely samsung's the best till date..

[@shiransandeep3290]

yes I also got a exynos note 20 ultra. The camera is great. If samsung repeat the themself like in note 10 series they will able to fine tune the camera more and more.

[@rodrig0pinto]

I am on the same boat!

[@marvistv6551]

Exynos does not mean bad photo quality cos it's more powerful than camera chips

[@Sfdi123]

Why do I feel this channel is gonna be sooo chill, well I'm a new subscriber and I think this is the best camera phone so iPhone better step up their game

[@garretts431]

i believe iphone has stepped up their game for last year and this year. iphones camera itself is better than the note even if by a small margin watching comparison videos. however, both phones have their ups and downs because phones cant have good pictures every single shot.

Thanks Lucas!

[@simonjohnhinton1938]

I'm not really a camera person nor am I an s pen kind of guy either but there's something about the note series that keeps me coming back to this type of phone. I remember when I first took my 865+ ultra out of the box and held it in my hand its just pure quality. the weight of it, that curved edge screen and of course that bump on the back that means business! after watching this video im going to get out there and take some shots and write down some notes! this samsung device is a multi tasking beast. as for the battery im not disappointed I've watched a few videos on how to get the best of it and im happier now. I hope everyone is enjoying their note 20 ultra too its a great samsung phone😊👍❤

Great camera review, I just subscribed because of it. I have the Note 20 Ultra and love my camera for what I've used so far. And regardless of the iphone 12 and Pixel, this is still the best phone of 2020

[@premgaru8556]

That's one beautiful fiancée you're blessed with. Great video. Just traded in my S20 Ultra for this and I must say it's a great phone. You should do one on how to get the best camera results for dummies.

[@MarkSpurrell]

Thank you, she is!

[@Flaviusbob]

Are there any differences between the s20 ultra and note 20 ultra in terms of camera stills? I own an s20 ultra, and my thoughts are that they are the same.

[@premgaru8556]

@@Flaviusbob Yes they are pretty much the same in fact there are times when the S20 is actually better. But if the image is moving then the Note does a better job in auto focus.

[@KEG-1995]

Subbed... The camera on a phone is one of the biggest draws for me but samsung is also so personally customizable with themes and ringtones and whatnot and the Dolby atmos is the real deal in the car using Bluetooth. Since I am always on my phone, I will say coming from a pixel 3 to a note 10+ and then the iPhone 11 pro. The note 20 ultra is a phone I actually might keep thru the whole year. I'm a phone guy, what can I say? Nobody really carries a camera in their pocket all the time and the note 10s biggest drawback for me was the camera. Very happy with this phone so far. Good review, friend.

[@dhanush329]

8hrs and no dislikes... Thats an amazing feat to achieve. Its no brainer to like this awesome video.

[@MarkSpurrell]

[@catguy4996]

The camera on the Samsung note 20 ultra is totally splendid. My only real problem is how there's no simple way to adjust the picture resolution. As much as I love high quality photos, sometimes you want to take a few in lower quality to help conserve storage space.

[@vkohli17]

Pixels seriously need to step up this year man....iPhones caught up bigtime last year and Note 20 Ultra cameras are seriously impressive. I like Pixels' image processing and stabilization but boy are they still stuck in 2017 -_-

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I've been using Note phones since the Note 3 and I'm a little disappointed with this camera. Every time I take a picture of something from a couple feet away the edges are all blurry. My previous phones didn't have that problem.

[@michellecampus33]

I'm glad it's not just me. I've had the note 20 since day 1 and the camera quality isn't all that great.

I love the phone but for some reason my pictures turned out digital looking not crisp or clean. The focus seems to have a hard time focusing but when it does it's amazing. I take pictures all the time and went to school for it so not sure why I can not figure this phone out. I'm slightly disappointed.

[@MrBossell]

Shutter lag kills the entire camera. Samsung's processing is terrible. Pixel 4 kills this thing. Just sold my note 20 ultra to get back my pixel 4xl back. Finally, capturing every moment again.

[@starrynightmug9305]

I suppose your channel is pretty new. First time watching a video from you. You did great ! I think you've chose some great places to test the camera of this phone. With the note 20 ultra, the saturation has been toned down. The results are good. I think the only thing that is less than amazing with this phone is the battery performance. While it isn't bad by all means, if you get the Snapdragon variant that is.

[@hishamyousef8113]

Hey Mark, do you have the Exynos version or the Snapdragon version? And how do the thermals compare... Was wondering after Zach pointed it out in his video.

Dslr quality shots I'm waiting Ps: the gpu of the snapdragon 875 can output ~1.74 tflops which is essentially as powerful as the ps4 especially given the faster storage and newer engines & optimisations Ps2: the sd875 has high end pc level performance Ps3. The snapdragon 875 dac can output 3d audio at 32bit Dolby atmos quality This year phones will outperform dslr,pcs, high end external dacs, and gaming consols at their own game...

Great video review and the photos look great. I'm curious, are the photo samples provided in the video straight out of the phone, or did you do any editing to enhance them? That zoom is crazy for a smartphone, and I'm thinking about getting one of these. This camera could possibly replace my Canon SX410 bridge camera now, and lighten my load when I go out hiking.

[@MarkSpurrell]

No post processing whatsoever. Straight from the camera!

Camera looks so much better. I have the S10 and I am really not impressed with the camera. It's so oversaturated it kills me 🤦

[@davichan9286]

Note 20 ultra is still oversaturated often. I took some photots in the forest the other day and the tree leafs and grass is still too god damn bright green. I have to manually adjust things to make it usable. It does not take very natural photots when it comes to trees, and bright grass. that's where it still suffers.

[@Steph_davis]

@@davichan9286 such a shame hey. I was tempted by the Sony Xperia 1 mk ii but it's insanely expensive.

Had the same problem on my regular S10 and S20. I had a S8 and imo that phone made the best photos. I loved that phone. My daughter has a iPhone xr and every time she shows me a photo that she took I am truly impressed. Apple (camera) software is 👌

One other Review show the Note 20 Ultra vs the Note 10 lite camera. And I have to say, the quality of the Ultra cam ist not that big of a leap, except some night video is a bit better, the ultra its just more versatile. That really made me think about it, also some other side by side with the Pixel 4a, same same.

Hey. I wonder. Can you hard switch from one camera to another and stay there? I mean, I have a Note 9 and I can only use the 2x telephoto in very bright conditions. Sometimes it switches to the main camera and I end up with a cropped photo from with lower quality.

Watching this video with s20u Wht didn't I just get Note version? So sad now.

[@sharkgt9264]

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I am no Photo expert, but I switched from the Huawei P30 Pro recently and this camera is a lot better. You cannot even compare. And the Huawei is 2 yeary old. It is a lot easier to operate, the bokeh effects are a lot better.The low-light performance is a lot better. The Samsung live fokus option is just a joke and the low light performance is just okay. The 108MP camera is just useless in my eyes. The 12MP Ultrawide makes better pictures in every situation, even in the evening. The number 108 is just used for Marketing purposes. How come, that I am not able to use 3x optical zoom, but I can use 5x. Up to 5x zoom, you directly go into a digital zoom Once you reach 5x, the quality directly gets better. Or do I miss anything there? Can you explain this to me?

I have this phone but I don't think the camera is good at all. It is worse than the s9 and s9 plus. All images taken with this phone is blurry and over sharpened/processed and looks like a painting and thus loses a lot of details. This issue of Samsung camera painting effect has started since the s10s and it has been there since then until the note 20 ultra. Really disappointed with the processing which makes the camera on Samsung very very terrible compared to its early years. Wish this issue was discussed and wish they will improve the camera and remove this over sharpening/processing on these Samsung phones.
