Sorry folks, I can't believe I messed up this video twice! Hopefully re-uploaded for the last time. To everyone watching it yet again, thank you very much!

Battle of the titans. The Mate 40 pro regular night shots are insanely good, but the sky is too blue during the day. The selfie is nice a wide on the Mate, but the rear ultra wide is narrow. Awesome comparison Grant 👍

17:17 Huawei just wiped out all textures and noise.

It went back and forth for me. The S21U looked better in some photos while the Huawei looked better in others. Either way, they both do a great job in general. Great video!

First of all, you did an absolutely phenomenal comparison video. You did better than most (if not all) techbloggers/techsites Here's what I've got to say on the results: - Portraits / Close ups (Daylight): a win for Mate 40 Pro here. Its shots are detailed and (amazingly) without depth estimation errors - Portraits / Close ups (Low light): Shooting portraits can sometimes be tricky and Mate 40 Pro doesn't have OIS on its main cam, and it shows its weakness here. - Main Cam & Ultra Wide (daylight): S21 may seem to have better dynamic range & livelier pictures, but there is something about Mate 40 Pro's colour profile & tonality that brings warm feelings to my heart (pun intended). When it comes to per pixel detail tho, S21 Ultra is a bit disgusting, too much oversharpening all over the place. Main Cam & Ultra Wide (Low light): night modes off, Mate 40 Pro SQUASHED S21 Ultra. However with night modes on, Mate 40 Pro doesn't seem to be gaining advantage, whereas S21 ultra gains lots. - Zoom Battle (all light conditions): Mate 40 pro gives a good fight given its lack of extra zoom lenses, gotta give the slight edge to s21 ultra here And I don't really pay too much attention on video quality because in my smartphone storage, there are tens of thousands of pictures but only 70 videos. So I don't shoot videos unless it's extremely important. Thank you for this vid, brother. I'm buying a Mate 40 pro soon enough

Aside from night time video, the Mate 40 beats the S21 Ultra in essentially every scenario. Mate 40's low light video is expected to be so so since its main camera has no OIS, which helps a lot with video in challenging situations. I like the comparison, thanks for this!

Oversharpening going on with most of the S21 shots, I am amazed with the most of the shots of Mate 40 pro except first minute video inside your studio specially how mate 40 was showing your face skin tone red or something. Great video bro, subscribed 👍👍 I am still using my Huawei mate 19 pro 2018 model. I love the camera except the focus problem in video. Not sure how huawei is doing with their new smartphone camera for video focusing....

Great comparisson, the best in youtube! In your opnion bro, the Mate 40 Pro, is better than S21 ultra?

As someone whose used both, I can recommend both phones. I feel that Huawei has a tendency to oversaturate but with a little patience when using the camera can lead to excellent results. On the other hand I love the white balance on the Samsung and some of the internal software that is associated with smooth auto zoom transitions, however I am not a fan of it's camera UI as you often have to go into camera settings to change the setup when taking certain pictures which the Huawei Ai recognizes automatically. Overall I recommend the Huawei overall as a phone but if only you're not attached to Google. Yes I still use Google by creating website shortcuts on the main screen but the convenience of the app is gone. It's a shame that the US sanctions essentially destroyed the future of probably the best phone I ever used only because Huawei was winning the 5G race.

Why is it always between mate 40 pro and s21 Ultra?? Shouldnt it be between mate 40 pro plus vs s21 Ultra? And maybe mate 40 pro vs s21+?

Mate 40 Pro put up a great fight. That sensor reeeeally packs a punch. Huawei still has this distinctive color profile with saturated blues, crushed shadows and deep blacks. Not my cup of tea, but I can see it being more appealing to an average user. Samsung really dialed down its saturated, contrasty colors from the past & has gotten really good at retaining highlights. Much much less clipping and overexposure this year. Imho Samsung takes it, but it really isn't that big of a difference. The color profile, white balance, flexibility (ultrawide on the Huawei is kinda...not so wide? maybe it's just me) in the photo department makes Samsung better choice while Samsung is amazing in video. Second only to Apple... Great comparison sir, keep em coming! Cheers!

Hi, thank you for this decent and very usefull review. My next Phone will be the Huawei Mate 40 Pro. Keep up your good work💪👍

S 21 ultra is the best

This is the best comparison video I have seen with the S21 Ultra. You are very thorough! :)

Definitely subscribed! Very detailed video and both cameras are outstanding, resulting in a close battle with areas where s21 ultra is better and mate 40 pro is better. I've been looking for a channel like this for some time and i'm glad i finally found it! Looking forward to your next video

Best comprehensive camera comparison on KZfaq

Mate 40 Pro is better. I'm quite surprised that from my data analysis, I realised a lot of bots praising Samsung on this comparison. I assume this is a way for marketing department to sway general opinion.

Absolutely amazing comparison. Subbed! 💯💥

Best camera mate 40 pro

S21 ultra without a doubt

I prefer natural colour on the s21 ultra

Good evening, I am from Greece and I always watch you when I want to compare mobile phones I want to buy, based on the best camera in what ranking would you put the following phones: Huawei mate 40 pro - Samsung galaxy s21 Ultra - Google pixel 6 pro - Oneplus 9 pro. Thanks

Hi Bro! Congratulations for videos! In your opnion, the best cameras Mate 40 por or S21 Ultra? Including ultra-wide. Thanks

Nice work as usual, Grant 👍🏾

Saw a trend most of the video. Samsungs main shooter wins for everything. And I mean everything. Portrait mode, dynamic range, night shots and day light and low light video(esp low light video and night shots) detail went back and forth in day light pictures with them. Hauwei has the better ultra wide(until you use night mode for Samsungs, then it brings alot of detail back) and hauwei wins for zoom. Samsungs selfie cam is much better. Doesn't make skin look like smooth clay and retains more detail on the main center subject. If samsung could update their stabilization for video with the zoom Lens's, they would take the entire crown. These are my top two favorite mobile phone makers(used to own a hauwei now im on the 21 ultra bandwagon🤙) 12 pro max still wins for king of day light video though Edit: after watching the entire video it's actually really impressive by samsung. In alot of these instances they wiped the floor against the mate 40 pro. That's wild. The ultras selfie fell apart in night time 4k video for stabilization. It did however have better dynamic range and detail.

This is the best camera comparison on KZfaq

There must be something wrong with your S21 I believe. I have the regular S21 and I never had any of these edge detection issues in portrait mode. What I do have (and you apparently aswell) is this jitter when shooting video. Actually, for me the viewfinder loses a lot of frames if simply panning around without shooting anything. It's really annoying.

Awesome video! I definitely agree with your points... Let's hope Samsung improves the stabilisation, specially when it comes to zoom and front video.

Most underrated camera reviewer on planet earth.

Really nice photos! I really enjoyed the motives. :)

I thought Samsung is over saturated but Huawei is even more than Samsung

I see loads of crops, I press like.

Excelent comparation thanks!!!

I need your conclusion, which one is better in term of camera?

Are you sure you are not turning stabilization off on s21 ultra for 10x zoom on all of your comparisons? It´s so shaky that it´s unbearable. Others reviews don´t seem to be that bad. Great video as always!

No any comparisons.. Mate 40 pro plus is far ahead 👍👍👍

I am using Huawei Mate 40 Pro. But in close-up the mate 40 pro is not good. The old samsung note9 shoots clearer and sharper in close-up in automatic mode. It should be S21 times better. Like in 2.37 seconds. In other mode, the mate40 pro is pretty good . Mate 40 pro is superior in night shots

I love ur vids and I Bro, I tell u like it or not gona buy huawei mate 40 pro 5g, no need of Google service, already have app gallery, petal search and petal map, email etc

You are the best on KZfaq. Period.

Yes,,,, Huawei mate 40 pro😍😍😍👍🏻

Great comparison. Thanks.

Huawei is number 1 ! ♥️♥️♥️

HUAWEI Mate 40 pro 😯😯😯😯😍😍😍😍😍😍

Grant, I take product photos for ebay, almost all of the photos taken with the S21 Ultra turn out to be vibrant in color, which is a bit deceiving to customers viewing my products. Especially closer up, the resulting photo is overly bright and overly vibrant. Any recommendations? Its probably ideal taking flowers where they appear more vibrant than it is in its currently lighting environment, but for product photos, when colors are overly vibrant, it appears a bit deceiving. I need a way to correct this.

You are the best 👌

love my Mate 40 pro, i think it needs a software update for night shot videos, best comparison 👌 hope you get the Mate 40 pro plus next time 👏

1:37 This is not the actual portrait mode of the S21, isnt it? Cannot imagine it is SO bad. Edit: Nice video, thanks for that effort. Only thing you can improve is to always shoot sharp photos ;D

In the meantime, Samsung has stabilized the 10xZoom for videos well (Exynosmodel). I tested it extensively at the zoo with a group of penguins yesterday😅...... In general, the 10x zoom has been greatly improved. The pictures are actually incredible for a cell phone in good light. The Ultra is the best device out there. ...... 17th place DXOMARK 😂👍

Samsung wins overall for me imo huawei looks oversaturated than samsung in daylight shot, samsung looks more accurate (samsung white balance seem accurate while huawei are too warm imo) Night shot & video samsung wins for detail and dynamic range It will be better if samsung fix that 10x zoom video stabilisation Huawei wins for zoom and ultrawide

Huawei the best

S21 ultra better

Huawei is the cam king The p40 pro more better than the mate40 pro Better than iPhone 12 pro max Amazing!!!!

Samsung is the best and it's more natural

Felicitaciones por tu trabajo!!

tanks, make videos wit huawei phones.... thx from brazil

Audio-wise, Mate40 Pro is way better.

It's difficult to have a definitive opinion as the S21Ultra had (at least) 4 firmware updates since it's out. From my point of view and comparing with my previous phone (P40 Pro) S21Ultra beats almost every point. P40 Pro's advantage like all LatestHuawei flagships is the possibility to take shots in low light without night mode (but colors are usually yellowish).

Huawei 👍👌👏

Huawei low ligth video, is the ultra-wide better than main? it looks like.

Excellent video

So..... Audio recording (with reducing the background noise) is better on Mate 40 Pro. Main rear camera (picture) - I like both of them but, a little bit more like S21 Ultra (60%), than Mate 40 Pro (40%). Ultrawide is definitely wider on S21 Ultra. Zoom is very good on both (I meant about optical zoom only, not digital :). Selfie/Front camera (video recording) - I would say S21 Ultra for 75% and Mate 40 Pro 25%, because of too much light detection (which he checked) and blurs the video picture. About 'Night Photos' - Samsung always had really great "night mode", but Huawei was and still is, the best at night photos (without night mode) :) I like Samsung's option - normal and night mode, but Huawei is of course the champ of night photos with great details. Anyway - 1 thing I don't get it. Why he didn't check 4k 60fps (wasn't tested)? If you have Flagship phones (which cost A LOT), and you can do great video at 4k 60fps, so why you don't use it? Really weird. Anyway - summarizing my statement. If someone force me to buy one of these 2, I'm guessing it would be S21 Ultra. Why? Because Mate 40 Pro price is retarded. I would definitely choose the Mate 40 Pro... but only, if it would be cheaper (about ~20% cheaper), because the price (specially for Mate 40 Pro Plus version) is sick. Best Regards.

Huawei is the best :)

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra best

I am planning to buy S21 Ultra

I prefer the image quality of HUAWEI

S21 ultra sem dúvida

Weird to say but Samsung seem to be going down the more natural colour look. Where as before they was more notorious for saturation to give more pleasing colours to its users. Id be getting a huawei when I upgrade, unless Sony can up there game. Samsung are great but it's like iPhone, most people use it them. I prefer to go against the grain 👍🏻

Samsung s21 Ulta Camara winner

Hi, are you using the exynos variant?

Samsung looks so much better it destroyed anything that comes it way

Amazing performance of the Mate 40 pro

i cant figure out how is possible that dxomark evalutate samsung's camera as the worst

Huawei is the best camera smart phone

Does Huawei mate 40 pro shoots HDR 10 video?

S21 the Best

in my mate 40 pro the sky color is not like that at all . i dont know if the mate photos were edited 🙄

S 21 ultra is human eyes..

main camera mate better, optical and digital zoom s21 sharper, stabilization mate better, front camera s21 better , low light mate, low light video both crap but mate worse, front camera low light s21 better...i'd buy the p40 or p40 pro cause its cheaper and has almost equivalent camera. one of the few reviews that shows crops, other youtube videos without them are total useless for comparing

Of course mate 40 pro the best

mate40pro比较鲜艳，各有特色

i prefer the over all quality of samsung.. Plus the video quality of samsung is a plus..

Huawei got it right in every sense, image quality is unparalled.

Huawei looks more saturated, samsung have natural color and more sharper..

We want to compare the photography of the P40 Pro Plus and S21 to the dark

which chipset on the phone snapdragon or exynose ?

Huawei mate win

Samsung s21 Ulta fall Camara Fall

Mate 40 pro here seems a winner in camera competition

Why you not try to make foto and video battle. Huawei Mate 40 pro Porsche RS design Samsung S 21 ultra and Oppo find x lamborghini edition.

I think s21 ultra is best

Sixth! Haha. Great video. Loving my S21 Ultra.

S21 is best

mic on mate 40 pro is excellent. not much background noise

S21 ultra nathural colour☺️

HUAWEI Does not use space zoom HUAWEI use Periscope zoom

Loving my S21 ultra the best phone on the market

The S21 has a slight delay in audio ...
