Phone cameras have gotten so good its hard to pick a winner outright! Both have really comparable images and video. The S21 portrait video kinda surprised me it looked so crisp compared to the iphone. Main takeaway really is consumers don't need to worry much anymore about the difference in camera performance between android and ios since they're so close in quality now so its all about choosing an OS now. Prolly still an edge to the iphone in video quality though.

@GrantLikesTech 2 жыл бұрын

Very true, main differentiation manufacturers are going for now are low light/night mode, long range zoom and "cinematic" style video. If you don't need or want any of that, then you're good with phone cameras from up to 3 years back at least.

@ashleybishton742 2 жыл бұрын

I like android operating system better than IOS. Can do much much more with android IMO but that depends on use case really. What you want from your phone determines what operating system you should go for. Agree with the cameras too. Sharp pics on both phones.

As a PC user I’ve craved the personalisation, settings, look and feel of android. The last Galaxy I had was an S3. Since then I’ve been on iPhone and it’s been great but what I’ve noticed is with software updates my phone battery struggled and it wasn’t as responsive. I’ve now decided if Apple forced my hand to upgrade from my iPhone 11, I will go back to Samsung and be super excited about it.

Super comparison !!! Big, big LIKE !!!! I think the iPhone has a lot of work to do to match Samsung's photo performance. At least the ultra-wide and sound part seems to be completely out of control on the iPhone 13, compared to the Samsung S21. On the other hand, I did not notice such a visible improvement even in the case of night photography. For now, this is the situation, maybe iPhone, with some software updates, will improve photo quality.

The video stabilisation was stronger on the iPhone 13, and the rear camera night-time videos were clearly better on the iPhone 13 - the S21 had a lot of noise. But surprisingly, overall, I think the S21 genuinely looked better. Some shots were a bit over-saturated, but no more than some from the iPhone 13. Turning off scene optimisation, if it wasn't already off, would help alleviate that. Because of the night-time video difference, I guess the iPhone 13 wins as an overall package...? (never owned an iPhone; only a Motorola and then Samsungs). But you really can't go wrong with either of them. I don't tend to take night-time videos anyway, and playing with the brightness slider may assist with the noise.

Photos from the main rear cameras are already very good on most phones. What really differentiates the strength between these 2 phones are the ultrawide, front cameras and night time - all of which is more superior on the S21. Sure, we don't need 100 over megapixels, but a larger resolution camera does provide more raw data for the image processor to work with.

Super video! Very analytic, thorough and clarifying comparison. It could set the "standard" for this type of videos! Many thanks. The only test not taken is night mode with stable camera but moving object. Galaxy seems to be slightly better in many cases but NOT in night mode moving video where stabilizer does not respond at all for a decent presentable result (even motorola one action way-older gives me better results). So the test of, lets say a performer moving in front of a stable camera in night mode would be informative!

He tenido que poner a pantalla dividida éste video junto con la comparativa del Pixel 5a 5G ya que mi presupuesto es de 769$ para el S21 versión SnapDragon, 641$ para el Pixel 5a 5G y de 1204$ para el iPhone13 Y en definitiva el Pixel 5a 5G sale ganador tomando en cuenta sólo el apartado fotográfico. Si bien es cierto que los pixel's envejecen bien con el tiempo, sino miremos a los 2,3 y 4XL algo que posiblemente le juegue en contra al Pixel, sea su procesador. Pero al igual que apple, Google sabe cómo optimizar Android a los Google. pero sin duda para el que tenga los presupuestos para estos 3 teléfonos. estará más que concento con su compra. GRACIAS por esta comparativa, personalmente me ayudó a elegir lo mejor por mi dinero. GRAN TRABAJO, muy detallista y meticuloso. todo un PRO!

I can see how the capturing of the capturing would be great for some people and not others. For people a bit more savvy about how they take pictures it gives a great sense of the user experience. For someone like me who is mostly going to just grab a and shoot, it doesn't offer a lot. That being said, because I'm a genXer, I have a bit more attention span. The genZers might get a little impatient. I think it's really up to you!

If camera quality is a bit of a personal preference (more/less vivid, more/less blurred skin lines) then audio is pretty different here. iPhone has better video for front facing camera, while main cameras audio performance for Samsung is a way better. So it's also thing to consider - depends who's using more for video chat, who more filming others.

Tough choice. Seems like the Samsung puts a bit more blue into their images. That said, some of the color rendering is really drastic between both cameras. For instance, the lake/pond the ducks were in looks completely different. Overall I think the Samsung has Apple beat though. There's quite a difference between your selfie videos walking through the park. The Apple video looks very soft, whereas the Samsung looks more crisp. Great post!!
