Let’s see how the iPhone 12 Pro compares to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to see which is better for landscapes, portraits, selfies, night mode and more. iPhone 12 Pro Apple:…

No one really is supposed to shoot everything in 60 frames a second that’s mainly if you want to slow things down what you can do on the note is shoot at 24 frames a second what you left out which is the cinematic mode which most people try to use or to get that cinematic look so I think the video comparison is kind of off when you think about it in that way both phones are good and I think it’s a matter of preference I have the note and it’s very good phone and I’m pleased but again I think now it’s based on preference as far as your photos and what you like

iPhone’s photo is a lot better than Samsung, notice the sun got blown out in the Samsung photo, even her hair photo, iPhone retains a lot more useable images information like sun light on the top of her head than Samsung, that part just completely blown out on Samsung photos.
Video iPhone is definitely better ! The key is to check the logs on the ground of the park of the video, Samsung one just a dark spot you can see any more detail, but iPhone’s video shows the same spot with a lot more information and detail, Which shows higher in dynamic range.
Bill Kilpatrick
October 30, 2020 at 11:40 pm
I go back and forth between the iPhone and the Note, depending on what features are offered at the time. I currently own a Note 20 Ultra and love it, but I think a lot of it has to do with who’s doing the shooting. Each phone’s default settings provide certain pros and cons, but someone with an eye for photography can make the right adjustments to get a better shot.

Thank you for the video. It is good if you can commend on what phone has pictures that are more realistic, more accurate, and same color as real scene that you see with your eyes. Some camera has pictures that cool color or warm color, but which one is more accurate to depict the color of that moment.

These comparisons have at this point become so unnecessary. They’re both great in the stock app but iphones always have better social media photos. And the iphone seems a little overblown either that or the note is more contrast-y. But honestly they could have mislabeled the shots and no one would have noticed.

Wow. The 4K videos are marvelous and clear. I have Note 4 and am really thinking of ditching it for the new 4k phones. I like the iPhone 12 Pro’s slightly brighter and warmer photos than the Note 20 but I never liked Apple’s restrictions, inflexibility, pay for every little downloads, etc so I will look into both.

Huawei is digging the last nails in his tomb, Why a Flagship processor kirin 9000 comes with A76 chipset, whereas Snapdragon 865 and Apple A14 come with A77 or NEXT January A78
As I said befor, Qualcomm 865 = 1*A77 2.84Hz 3*A77 2.42Hz 4*A55 1.8HZ, instad Huawei Kirin 990 5G= 2*A76 2.86Hz 2*A76 2.36Hz 4*A55 1.95Hz
Huawei will enter 2021 with a processor from 2020!!!

Both phones are great and the preferences are usually down to personal preferences with very subtle differences. I think it all comes down to features that are exclusive to one phone and how important or useful they are to the user. Take for example: night mode portrait mode on the iPhone vs 5x optical zoom on the Note.

Both cameras on the Note 20 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro are good. Both have image advantages over the other depending on the scenario. My camera of choice would be the one on the Note 20 Ultra. Better zooming capabilities because in most cases we hit the zoom button before taking a picture and more customizable functions. When the iPhone 12 Pro Max gets released I’ll still pick the Note 20 Ultra over it.

Selfie skin tone setting in camera settings and don’t you have a trade in? If you were to trade in a 11 pro max you would get $650 towards the note 20 ultra and only $500 towards the 12 pro.

I’ve seen a few comparisons between the exynos vs snapdragon note 20 ultra and the 865+ produces much better photos and video. I live in the u.k and bought the Qualcomm version for £879. if you can’t afford to buy one outright then your stuck with the exynos 990. on contract thats all you’ll get! mine came with 256gb rom and a pair of akg headphones so that’s a good price.
