(looks like you trade dynamic range for sharper detail with 108mp? Look at the detail in the leaves)

S10 5x or 10x Zoom Telephoto: (same position and zoom level as above I just don't remember if these where at 5 or 10x but the Ultra killed it!)

You can litterally crop the 1x 108mp S20 Ultra pic and get more detail than the S10 5x Telephoto:

That's it, just outline and cropped the same area, nothing else done. Well, it's clearer for sure but less dynamic range if you look inside the hole....lol) :D

If you're looking at this on a PC monitor you're probably starting to get the hint how nice the zoom is on the ultra and how useful the 108mp is on the S20 to get post cropped zoomed in pics!

Cropped 108mp for comparison, I'm thinking it's getting too dark out for the 108mp mode...

The 108mp picture for this one was focused on the background so I can't do a 108mp crop comparison on the one above but otherwise I think the S20 Ultra killed the S10 in this one.
 
Would you say my wide lens is looking good on my S20? BTW, I have more pics coming, my post is just awaiting moderator approval. Dunno why when I link from imgur my posts need a mods approval?
Something must have triggered a spam filter. It happens to me sometimes....lol
 
Well I retuned mine today. Defective or not, will give me some time to think about it and might order again later. Hopefully Samsung will improve camera via software as well

I don't blame you because It's a lot of money to spend if it doesn't make you happy.

Just wait for the S21! Not like you're in desperate need of an upgrade. Heck I went three years from the S7 to the S10 and the plus side to waiting that long is that it was a real upgrade.

Yea if you weren't happy with it then u did the right thing.

That's a whole year of waiting....I like new and shiny things )) waiting for Note 20 and Pixel 5 is probably a good idea....will see

I'll probably jump on the Note 20 but I won't entertain the Pixel unless they strengthen the cameras weak points. They do a excellent if not the best job in auto with their A.I., HDR and the dedicated chip for fast processing. I'd like to see them improve the video and its audio. I would also like to see some manual controls in the camera with an optical zoom of some kind and a wide angle camera. It would also be nice if they beef up the device hardware just a little to make it a premo device.
 
That's pretty sad.....good comparison from those guys

Good video. Same experience I had between Note 10 and S20 camera, so I'm glad I wasn't crazy thinking Note was better overall! S20 clearly isn't the revolutionary upgrade Samsung claims it to be and has lots of problems to fix. Note 10 is still very capable and glad I returned my S20. Thanks for the share.
 
I had similar results to the video and after 2 weeks using both my Note 10+ and the S20 Ultra sadly I had to return the Ultra. Just not enough benefit to be worth the upgrade cost.

Looking forward to Note 20!
