Samsung Galaxy S21 versus iPhone 12 camera comparison

[@shawn7442]

this video really only proved to me how much identical these camera’s are. throughout the video i was just picking with one i liked better and it was back n forth. both are incredible devices. can’t go wrong with either one

[@carlosr192]

Ops here and there...a little fog on samsung and lower definition but can be corrected on pro mode. Can put a warm temp too. Both are great.

[@DANIELCHUKWUKERE]

​@@carlosr192 I don't know what you talking about bro, the S21 surprised me with similar details with the iPhone to be honest..

[@GaryJahman]

The nice thing about the Samsung is that you don’t have to pay for the “pro” mode. Which can be very handy in certain circumstances.

[@shadowman6309]

What does it mean

[@GaryJahman]

@@shadowman6309 with the Samsung's camera app, you have the possibility to select the "pro" mode. This will give you the manual settings, so that you can change the aperture, iso, shutter speed and exposure. With the iphone you'll need to pay for an app to have this feature.

[@shadowman6309]

@@GaryJahman oh i didn't know that I use s9 plus never experience a iPhone Pro mode is very useful

[@spice9900]

@@GaryJahman I have both S21 & 4a5g. I like the features a little better on the s21 but so far the 4a5g takes better pictures, even in Pro mode. I don't know how to manipulate the camera features to make it look better, clearer, sharper than the 4a5g. Any suggestions? I have to return one of them in a few days. I got the 4a5g for $15/month and the S21 256GB for 24.99/month

[@GaryJahman]

@@spice9900 What I do to enhance my photos from any android device is to use Snapseed. It's a free photo editing app. Maybe that will help?

[@1c2reative]

The best way to describe this comparison is - trading blows. In some instances, iPhone pictures are sharp, excellent details, natural colours. In others, Samsung has amazing dynamic range, color science on point, finer detail. Iphone seems to be more consistent, as Samsung seems to be more versatile but better overall in photo department. That sensor really shines paired with the SD888. Video section- Iphone is still the undisputed king of video imho. Minor things I managed to see - funny to say but seems like iPhone is boosting up the saturation in the photos, while Samsung keeps the more natural look. Sammy has also come a long way in the dynamic range department, buuuut still those (slightly) overblown highlights seem to emerge. Great comparison Sir and cheers from Kosovo

hopefully google changes their color reproduction to a more natural color like how it is on the iphone

[@גיאורד-נ6ש]

Great video! Realy like the way you let your audience decide which one is better and gives pictures that contain much elements that can be compared. As of my opinion, most video scenarios will be taken better with the iphone 12 whereas the samsung has more consistent post processing algorithm with photos which reduces the noise and does not oversharp lines or increase contrast like the iphone 12.

[@rvarghese3062]

Nice comparison iPhone images are sharp and now Samsung has done a commendable job this time around...along with hardware,Their software has improved big time.....

[@rainZSlayer]

The iPhone 12 seemed to have more detail and texture in the snow though I expect the S21 to perform better with software updates. It's kinda crazy how much better the camera on my S20+ has gotten through updates, especially since the OneUI 3.1 update.

[@davidalbertog.h5960]

What changes have you noticed with the update? Better hdr? Better wb?

[@rainZSlayer]

@@davidalbertog.h5960 Better white balance and more true to life colour reproduction. It still slightly struggles with bright reds but captures other shades with much more accuracy than before. There's also lesser skin smoothening and whitening on the selfie cam. Plus things like single take 2.0, improvements to scene optimizer, moon mode with scene optimizer enabled, automatic super zoom lock have been added from the S21 series.

Both Camera are pretty good, it's no longer the case that one phone camera kills the other, like Iphone fans might claim or vice versa. They are pretty comparable, if there is no indication one might fail to see which picture was capture from which phone. I do find S21 very slightly better in some photos where Iphone has white noise but difference is pretty minimal. ~User of Galaxy S21+ and loving the its lagless experience.

[@cloudofreverie786]

the night mode is the s21 needs a software update, it looks incredibly green - ish

[@Knightmessenger]

On many of the comparisons I ve watched, it seems like the samsung would greatly benefit from a software update. Because when a shot comes out less than ideal, it's something that could have been really good if the exposure setting/white balance had done better. So the camera device hardware seems capable of the best results, the software doesnt always seem to deliver.

[@akio-n5o]

The night mode on iphone also looks yellowish. Otherwise they r both good phones

[@shrujanamsyama9940]

@@akio-n5o All photos of iphone appear yellowish. I have an iPhone X which takes yellowish photos and hence I was curious if that is a defect in my phone or the software of Iphones itself. It really sucks that iPhone has yellowish tint to its photos given that cheaper Xiaomi phones costing 20-25% of it takes better quality photos

[@STVN20]

Looks like Iphone has the aggressive over sharpening and contrast in most of the photos. Yet both devices are great!

Little to choose between the two with only marginal differences from shot to shot favouring one camera or t'other. The main difference between the cameras is the zoom capability of the S21, which has been ignored. A significant and surprising omission.

I think most of the Android phones are Trash (Ximi, Samsung, Huawei...) These phones are crap, but I think the Google Pixel phones are good, even though I'm not a big Android fan. But I think it would be good if every phone manufacturer had its own operating system, because it's like if I were to make a phone, steal the software, and then it's done. I think Google is stupid because they made Android public, it would have been better if their own phones only had Android.

[@mit6089]

Samsung or any android maker needs to learn about iPhone’s extented dynamic range for video, it came with XS in 4k30 now its on every iphone in 4k60 and below. Phone takes 120fps video (60fps dark+60fps bright) then combines two video streams for a well lit and smooth video without exposure going crazy like any android device. Snapdragon 888 and exynos 2100 supports this but as you can see video sucks on android compared to iphone.

[@sapphireraven2474]

The 4k video comparison at 7:17, looks much clearer on the s21, I can see your beard hair cleared and on the iphone looks blurred. Same with your coat/jacket, much more detail on the s21 than the iphone.
