Its a rarity

[@RennieAsh]

I guess it's unbiased but there was also a lot of personal opinion which sometimes I didn't agree with lol.

Mhmm. Kill scene optimizer and redo this. Also along with the new autofocus of the s20's update. S20 should now win👍

Scene Optimizer does that with colors, I switched mine off and I'm getting more realistic colors than with it on.

Keep in mind he sees the video at full resolution before the compression of editing software and youtube. So it's only fault is not having a wide lens. 4k60 is also coming as a leaked gcam shows it.

Turn off scene optimizer will reduce the saturation by a lot. And personally I turn HDR off too in Samsung S20 plus. After testing few shots with and without it, HDR shots tends to blow out highlights too much.

Great video. Could you compare the Pixel 3 versus Pixel 4? I know we're about up to date phones however given the detail you're sharing it be nice to know if it's actually worth an upgrade just when mainly considering image quality from the camera

Sam, how long can each of the cameras film video before running out of memory? This might be important to KZbinrs

[@RyanPenner]

Many of us watch these reviews from phones. It's a bit easier to compare the photos if they are as big as possible on the screen. My vote is to get rid of the white wasted space and push photos to the edge. Good review.

10:00 This can be reduced if you use Night Sight on the Pixel 4. It takes a second longer to capture, but for shots like these it will reduce the noise a lot.

[@doobedi]

Review the LG V60 camera comparison review

[@democritus37]

I think your videos are fab but just one correction. The s20/s20+ does NOT have a physical telephoto lens. Its “telephoto” lens is pretty much the same focal length as the normal wide angle, but it’s a 64mp sensor, so the “zoom” is just achieved by cropping into the centre of the picture.

[@GuidoPerdomo]

"For today's video we're going to compare what I would call the Mount Rushmore of smartphone cameras, as we put these three head to head" MAN what a fucking line

[@MariusRenz]

s20+ software compression is far ahead! If i would choose a shot, its allways the s20+. S20+ is allways friendly picture :) the others looking so depressed :(

[@RennieAsh]

The s20 actually has a 1.06x "physical" telephoto lens, the rest being done by crop on the 64mp sensor afaik. Personally I'd also use more of the video space for the footage/photos, as there is a lot of blank space from the wide aspect ratio and then the white backdrop, creating a situation where the photos take up about 1/8th of the screen!

[@zski1]

I have both the Pixel 4XL and iPhone 11pro max. I love the pics. the Pixel takes; the phone is just great all around, but I always end up switching back to the iPhone because of the android apps; they're just not as polished as on iOS unfortunately. But if they were, I would stay on the Pixel.

[@kay_kay0710]

Something is off. my s20+ doesn't look like this scene optimizer on and off

[@rusirubatuwatta8731]

I really surprise that daytime photos of in this video.. iphone is normally provide brighter images.. but this time pixel take it.. i think pixel got software update

[@ku5587]

I don't know if it's because of updates or he left scene optimiser on or even because it's the Exynos version but my s20 pics don't seem as exaggerated. And something that is not stress enough is the manual mode. This takes almost all of the processing out.

[@joranvancoillie8133]

You should have used the Pixel 4's software wide-angle feature which is way wider than the 11 Pro and S20+...

[@TrynaBeCray]

im assuming hes holding off on the S20 Ultra becuase of the autofocus update?

[@MathersMahmood]

[@user-vo8le3rr6y]

I think you should make a comparison with LG in the mix algae's always been a good solid a performer I think they're underrated and they all the only brand new still keep the headphone jack and it is important for people that make videos cuz if they can plug level your microphones into your smartphone and record video of logs corporate videos interviews and all type of things definitely make a video with comparison of an LG recent LG device !.

You can take a wide angle picture on the Pixel 4 Xl just go to PhotoSphere mode and touch the arrow at the top of the screen and change it to wide angle!! it doesnt have a wide lens but it uses a photo sphere mode that is meant for wide angle pics . So instead of all these reviews saying it doesnt have it at all you could use it and see how it does against the others with a wide lens.

[@jizzzilo]

i wish the pixel had warmer/honey tones tbh i live in a VERY overcast place so the blue hue isn't appealing when using the front camera. rear camera is amazing. iphone has the best skin tone because of the honey undertone it brings out

iPhone would be my pick for best overall camera. The video is the absolute best and images are more ‘accurate’ in most cases. As a photographer, iPhone is the safest one to go with because of its accuracy. The other devices are more experimental but not finished products

mate, u cant give us such small photos and talk to us about noise and detail. the red/purple hues on the pixel (that do exist) are barely noticeable on my 15" screen, due to size for example. the only thing that can be seen clearly is the vorsaturation of the samsung. But i saw many toss-ups between iphone and google that i could not judge given their super small size. are we supposed to be watching this on a 85" 4-8k tv? sorry to say this (on what seems a great review otherwise) but many people watch these on phones...

Samsung is best overall and I've always owned samsung, but the iphone seems better for selfie cam and vlogging your own face. Focuses better on the face and better depth of field makes it more cinematic and like Canon G7 videos.
