  • The new Samsung Galaxy S21 5G was just released and I took it for a real-world test around the Financial District in NYC to do a camera comparison, battery test, and talk about some of the features. Check it out and let me know what you think!

  • @frankie_is_broke5591
    @frankie_is_broke5591 4 года назад +19

    A reminder: The telephoto lens isn't 3X optical; it's actually 1.06X optical, then cropped to 3X, hence the "hybrid zoom". My guess as to why they've chosen this setup is so that you can film 8K (which requires at least a 33MP sensor) without punching in all the way to 3X. The high pixel count is then used for cleaner digital zoom. Using the 64MP sensor for 8K allows them to keep the main sensor at the standard 12MP, meaning larger pixels for better normal photos.
    Edit: you also mislabelled the 8K shots as being taken with the main sensor.
    Edit 2: Also, the S21 and S21+ display's adaptive setting switches between 48 and 120Hz, not 10 and 120Hz.

    Great review man! Always love the way you test the camera's in real life. It makes more sense to a lot of consumers. But... the camera on the S21 is way better than the S20. Definitely noticable in Night Mode. More contrast there. Because of a few reviews, including yours, I just purchased the S21 and I'll be receiving it tomorrow. I live in The Netherlands, so it'll have the Exynos chip, but I've read and seen some good reviews about it, so I'll hope for the best. It'll definitely be a great upgrade from my S9, which has a TERRIBLE battery life! 😅
    Thanks very much for this review. It definitely made making my decision a lot more easy. Been doubting a lot between the Pixel5 and this phone, but the Pixel5 made too much cuts to make it the 'perfect phone'. Almost perfect, but I feel this S21 suits me most;
    Compact design
    Great camera (Almost Pixel-like)
    Not TOO expensive (still a lot of money)
    Better software experience than earlier Samsung devices
    Less Samsung bloatware than ever before
    Thanks again!

      @@warlorddk2070 In the US, Samsung phones have been equipped with Snapdragon SOC's . But in Europe (and a lot of other parts in the world) you will get it with Samsung's own Exynos chip. As somebody who has had the S8 up to the S20 because of his job. And i`m using phones with Snapdragon personally. The diff is HUGE. On the S10 it was still good. But esp the S20 was a real step down noticeably in performance, but also battery life. My work S20 always needed a mid-day top-up, the S10 before it which also had Exynos didn't.
