I lost faith in Samsung since the s20 ultra but the Note here overall shoots the better photo in most cases, And given the iPhone is quite painful to download the photos I would take the note 20 any day. Great vid. Thx 👍🏼
Someone who actually calls out the iPhone on their saturated photos. Every reviewer tends to state Samsung in 2020/21 has the more saturated image when it simply isn't true.
Oh good, I wasn't the only one who thought that the Note 20 ultra improved after the update. I had no issues with the phone before the update anyway but certainly improved on it.
@@CashCollecta hey, thanks. Actually I've got the S22 Ultra and the camera quality is insane.. they've made something about colors, which improved the quality, plus, the screen is great.
My takeaway is, both smartphones are great at day time photography and videography.. Note 20 ultra - For photography day and night (wide, ultra wide and zoom) Night mode selfies. iPhone 12 pro max - For night videography. For day and specially night portraits. For me Note 20 ultra is the all-round winner. if Samsung brings a mode for night time videography that would be a killer feature. I appreciate your effort and you are the one of the unbiased reviewer in the RUclips platform. cheers... good luck.
It’s crazy how these cameras can improve this much with software updates. It definitely makes me excited for the S11. I got the unreleased S11 Supa - 11" display, 1.1nm processor, 11mp camera. Don't judge me....
@@plutorocks1 I prefer the Note for photos, I love how it handles the shadows while the iPhone crushes them a lot, but to each their own. Both are great at the end of the day
@@sungminlee4491 I'm using the Note 20 Ultra as well but my biggest feature on it is the Higher refreshrate, I was coming from the S10+ and I just couldn't get my head around how smooth this phone is.
I'll take the Notes night mode for photos any day. I'd rather have no light flares over a bit of noise (when zoomed at that) in background dark areas. They both are really awesome in most scenarios.
I've seen reviews where the exynos version is better in terms of the camera, would be interesting to see Snapdragon versus exynos versus iPhone 12 Pro Max. Yeah, this won't ever happen, but still, worth a shot.
truly think that Danny's camera comparisons are the best of the game that said imma be switching from a galaxy S8 to an iPhone 12 Pro Max this year, i've been using android since my first smartphone and I think it's about time for that change - opinions?
Same here, you won't regret it one bit, I switched from a S10+ and the reliability and consistency with the iPhone is what got me. Battery life is insane, I get 11-13 hours SOT using WiFi and with my screen on most of the day, I don't think I'm going back to Android (though, there are some things that need improvement like the widgets, the gallery is a mess because the pics you take go all in one "Recents" album, and the settings for each app are in the system Settings) I would say iOS sometimes prioritizes visually perfect aesthetics over functionality. Also, the haptics and the overall feel of the phone in the hand are on a whole new level (but very heavy if you use a thick case), I'm really impressed considering I've been an Android fanboy my whole life lmao
Andrei F. Of Anandtech.com has confirmed that the Note 20 ultra takes the most natural pictures among popular flagships. It compared the Note, iPhone and the Pixel against the Fuji Aps-c and the note matches the color profile of the DDLR.
Danny, you're the best! Dxomark and another RUclipsr say the Exynous version camera is better that the Snapdragon on the Note 20 Ultra. What do you think? Which one is your Note? Could you do a camera comparison? Thanks!
After owning samsungs as my previous phone, I can confirm that iPhone tends to saturate the photo more than usual. I can say almost as saturated as the S10.
Hi Mr. Danny, can I know if what Note 20 Ultra version is you're using? If it is Snapdragon and Exynos. In Dxomark Note 20 Ultra's score is very low specially the Snapdragon Version. I think Note 20 Ultra doesnt deserve that because if you can see it can even match and beat Iphone 12 Pro Max with score of 132 while just having a score of 117 (Snapdragon).
in some photos you tried to favor the i phone, shooting some bad photos from note 20 ultra, i have both, but samsung note 20 ultra has many good things
Slowly iPhone camera lost itself in my opinion. The natural quality we used to see on iPhones, the biggest thing most of us loved is slowly gone. Loved how just iPhone used to make me feel like I was back to the scene where the picture was taken. Now that doesn't happen anymore.
Great pictures Danny!! Love them both and they are both fantastic considering everything so it's great to know that one won't be missing out on much no matter which phone they pick. Happy new year to you and all the best!
I love my iPhone 12 Pro Max 512 GB in pacific blue ; and for my birthday last week somebody bought me the iPhone 12 Pro Max and silver 256 GB so now I have two of them ; I use it every day for my job ; with lidar and AR together from my job for interior decorating I’ve been doing this for 25 years now and my productivity levels have already came out on top ! And I have more free time ; as a interior decorator and it’s a godsend ; and I don’t have to carry my iPad Pro around anymore from last year with the it’s lidar scanner !
Well..i do own now a 12 pro max, and was impressed by the main and zoom sensors, but the ultrawide still leaves to be desired cause it does cause way noisier pictures. Nightmode isnt perfect always either, lots of noisy pictures even when being completely still. But the biggest gripe was how small of a difference it was compared to my two year old 300 euro Honor 10, in id say 40 percent of cases i would have prefered the Honors pictures. Mainly because of its amazing edge detection and that its able to focus on small objects and i can get really close by with it. The iphone just cant take pictures of small things, it just wont focus near enough. I have to be at least a metre away for it to work properly, that was quite a letdown. Video wise, its nice and smooth and i can already imagine creating music videos and stuff with it. Only gripes are the HDR, which is still flickering slightly and throwing the white balance all over and the small juddering of the sensor when being in a darker situation with quite bad noise tbh. Overall im happy with the phone, design is spot on and the feel of it but sadly im surprised how similar in everyday situations it is to a regular cheap android. Its pretty much the same performance wise in regular use, its camera is similar in quality even and to be fair, i dont notice a huge difference when using one or the other which is a good thing but also bad. I wouldnt say its worth all that money, but it is a reliable and easy to use phone.
Aside from MrWhoseTheBoss, Danny's camera testing is my favorite. The full capacity and ability of a smartphone camera is tested and well-explained. You can really see how unbiased he is even in the way he explained. I can say that he is a photographer because when you look at the images, it was really taken properly. One of the greatest, Mr. Danny!💖💖💖
After you took the Note 9 to Disney and got Mickey's signature... I'd go with the note. Both are great cameras! I love that I get to use quality modern tech to capture family memories.
Great vid. I’m rocking the 12 pro max now and it’s a good phone but I was having android withdrawals (mainly the higher refresh rate and uncluttered Home Screen 😂). Picking the s21 ultra up on Friday. Can’t wait!
Excellent objective comparison. In good light they are almost identical, in low light it's personal preference. It really comes down to if you want better video and portraits (iPhone) or better zoom and features (Note20 Ultra).
Danny for President. 🙌🏼. Thank you so much for your analysis as always. I am always satisfied with your camera review irrespective of the brand i prefer. YOU ARE THE BEST SIR, by far...keep the great work
After the updates, do the color science and shutter speed improve? Im between Note 20 Ultra and S21 Ultra... if it is only the telephoto cameras and the macro ultra wide, I’d go with the Note for the S Pen, but if the photos are actually better in the S21 than it would be a different story
This year will have the most interesting cameras. Apple mastering its computational photography with the iPhone 13 Android with its tripple isp & first time properly utalizing computational photography ( in the past it was just a half baked low effort attempt compared to apple)
Interesting comparison. I've been contemplating switching to iPhone 12 pro max after having Samsung for 9 years now (eldest daughter had just got one). Its a shame the ghosting/lens flare is a lot more pronounced on the iPhone at night/low light compared to Samsung as it's definitely a put off especially in some of the other iPhone pro max videos I've seen. Be interesting to see if this can be toned down somehow in a future ios update our by using some sort of lens covers.. Looking forward to the release of the s21ultra and a comparison between that and the 12 pro max. My upgrade isn't due till March so I've a while to make my mind up. All the best mate 👍🏼
Skin tones is very important to me. I prefer the Note. The audio on iPhone is the best! Years ago, we berate Samsung for the super saturated look. Now looky here!
I always adjust exposure comp to bring details back in the highlights on the note and it doesn't really effect the shadows in the right hands both phones are excellent. Samsung need to hire the people at nikon to do there image processing because this is whats holding their hardware back.
Which one do you choose after the updates? Team Note 20 Ultra or Team iPhone 12 Pro Max?
Note everyday.
Note 20 Ultra

Interesting in a lot of the photos iPhone looked a bit saturated, and Samsung looks truer to life. Hmmm How times have changed now 🤔
Haha true...... it's hard to believe that iphone is giving saturated images and samsung is giving true of life photos 🤐
True dat
Yall just jealous that Samsung was better 😂
Hahah yes so true!
@@sayantanbhaduri3874 what’s going on this days 🥲
The Note20U improved alot after the one Ui 3.0 update.
Oh good, I wasn't the only one who thought that the Note 20 ultra improved after the update. I had no issues with the phone before the update anyway but certainly improved on it.
The front video on the note 20 ultra was much better than the iphone's in my own opinion
Samsung really improved there selfy camera game this year
Your camera comparisons are by far my favorite! Switched to the Note20 Ultra and I absolutely love it.
Agree!
Are the colors natural?, I love Samsung phones, but sometimes I do feel the colors in the pictures are not that natural
@@FernandoGonzalez-yo1fethere not that’s why I switched to iPhone plus video quality is way better

hopefully with amd
NOTE 21 ULTRA : CANON DSRL, NO BIG SCREEN. JUST SMALL SCREEN WITH BIG CAMERA ZOOM
There will be no Note 21 this year
are you still waiting sir? hahahhaa
I think you got the 50x zoom on the Note 20 Ultra confused with 100x because the Note doesn't have 100x zoom @ 5:46
Yup it was a mistake. It was 50X zoom.
Both has great cameras both I think Samsung has great night mode shots... I love the shadow details... Great comparison
My takeaway is,
both smartphones are great at day time photography and videography..
Note 20 ultra - For photography day and night (wide, ultra wide and zoom)

You're absolutely right. Couldn't agree more! Lol, you literally said everything which was on my mind including the suggestion.😂👍
Photos on the iPhone capture way more detailed the note looks a bit too over processed for me

Great phone comparison as always. They both are really great phones, surprised to see the note still maintaining it's consistency being on top..
Samsung 8k iphone 4k, both barely different but samsung gonna have a good year this year with people having interest with samsung
8K is mainly for the sake of having 8K, you give up a bit to get that, and it still didn't end up being any better than 4K

Finally a real review. For other people doing similar comparisons take tips from this video. Danny awesome as usual.

It'll never be over, you know what people are like. For me, Pixel is still the best, but you can't complain about any of them really.
My Note 20 doesn't have 100x zoom. Did you do that in post?
Sorry that was a mistake it was 50X zoom
@@dannywinget ah cool, thanks for clarifying :)
Instead of spending millions of dollars on R&D of cameras section at Samsung or Apple, these companies should just watch your videos and take notes.
Cut R&D budget and then try to lowering the phone price.And watching tech reviewers opinion & feedbacks👏👏👏👏👏
For me the 20 Ultra has the better cam. More natural, better portrait, better zoom, better frontcam.
I have been for this for many months.....But finally greaat job dany!!!!!love from india!

What is cpu on your phone exynos or snapdragon?
I still don't like the orange tinge on people's skin that the iphone produces but it can be adjusted post-editing. I think both are good to be honest.
