Is the camera any better?

[L0n3N1nja]

Putting the ultra to one side for a minute I am interested in whether the main sensor on the S20/20+ are new or not, they are 12mp so Samsung could have used the same one again (like they did last year) . Looking at the images in that video from the main camera they do not look much better so it could be the same sensor.

I am just not sure I can do the ultra, that thing looks huge.

It's been revealed as a new and larger sensor.

The shorts from the main camera in that video did not look good. Obviously cannot take this as fact as there many factors (including pilot error) that could contribute so hopefully we will start to see some more comparisons soon.

Wow... These look really promising. Not sure what that other dude was talking about.

The other video was the plus, these are the ultra.

 

[Chris Williams8]

If you're talking about the videos I posted then no. They were both recorded from the Ultra.

Go back to his page again. He just added live focus photos.

This guys is on a roll.

I was referring to the video on page 2. The guy in Dubai.

Oh sorry about that bro.

I saw a youtube video space zooming onto a tower and it was blurry as hell. Not false advertisement btw- it does zoom 100x. But quality is fecal matter lol

When it's zoomed 100x it's blurry, but when you take take the picture the actual picture itself looks a lot better. It does all the processing afterwards.

I'm steadfast on not upgrading still.

Same here.

One thing I noticed with my S10 when filming that iPhone footage doesn't do is when filming in dimly lit indoors like say a arena concert the S10 will make people "glow" and have a halo effect around them under certain lighting conditions where the iPhone is perfectly clear. It also does it on some of the colored and flashing lights at a concert where again, the iPhone looks perfectly normal. It's almost like the color saturation gets turned up way too much. One thing I'm kind of mad about is that my old S7 had pro mode while filming and my S10 didn't have it. This time around it's kind of not looking good to upgrade to the S20. First, to get a camera upgrade I don't want something the size as the ultra and second, I'm really not ready to give up the headphone jack (need it to play audio in my truck that only has an AUX port). Not to mention you have to get the + to get the free earbuds. Nothing really to draw me from my S10?

Here's some more nighttime and daytime 8k footage from the S20 Ultra.

Was having issues earlier with uploading images and have been busy today...

These are S20. The green color shown is literally from the Wiki article "green" lol

I have a few Ultra shots as well, but getting things moved is maybe touchy so I'm leaning on the side of caution...don't want to screw anyone over.

So one shot is the S20+ looking at the Mid Night Green iP11P, one is the color green from wiki displayed on the S20, one is comparing how green appeared on the S20+ versus how it actually appears on website (S20 display, remember this displays are super accurate).

 

[Squarrow]

Just to clarify, the darker green is the actual representation on wikipedia

S20 Ultra Images, so...I stepped out of the building and shot these one after another. I'm going to try and have them upload in order. Make sure you look at the first pic and see where the subject of the zoom is located.

Also ...shout out to all Yinz. If you know, you know.

Order is standard > 30X > 100X

I should also say about the above images that I am snapping pictures of phone screens, clarity and over all quality in these shots were far better than what you see there....just trying to show the capabilities of this hardware.

Instead of taking pictures of screens, why don't you upload the pics taken from the camera and upload those for more clarity?? The other day you said the photos are "booty" which I am guessing to mean the pictures are "booty" = "a$$" not impressive. Shots of screens of course are not going to show the quality of photo and color etc, because you could be taking a picture of the screens using an iPhone 6s and your seeing flaws taken with THAT camera.

Not trying to poo poo your work and appreciate you trying but just saying can't get a good read if these are suppose to be good. For a $1400 phone, the pics I'm seeing are not that special imo.

And if the Samsung can do one thing in past gen phones is that they take good outdoor photos in natural lighting. What I wanna see if you can provide is how this sucker handles indoor photos and indoor lighting.

Thanks.

That 100X zoom is insane. Even if the results aren't that great and I don't really see a time when I'd need that. Wow...

I was thinking if you go to a ball game ,concert,out door want to zoom in on something far . Stuff like that

So, like I said, not to trying to get anyone in trouble so I'm going to start attaching IPs and Gmails and stuff to the phone. If you look at the side by side of green, even if they aren't accurately portrayed here, it is obvious they are different colors. One, is from a website on a display that is "indistinguishable from perfect" and the other is a picture of that display. Look at that iPhone picture, then look at marketing materials of the Mid. Green device...way off and that difference is accurate. Also, these things are starting to trickle out to stores, go try them.

And...like why tf would I lie about this. I don't identify through brands and by the nature of my profession have spent years trying to train myself in neutrality of observation and awareness of unconscious biases. These images look damn close to the colors reproduced on the actual picture. As for the Ultra, same reasons. Those pics are clear and I was just HAVING FUN WITH OTHER PHONE NERDS by sharing this stuff because I myself have been scouring the webz for the last few days looking for samples and tests of this device I'm excited for. Most of them are the typically jaded...eh, zoom is useless, kind of responses (though I don't understand what is being said in the Korean video kicking around).

To me, I see a new set of abilities that will allow for interesting compositions that you simply cannot achieve in most shooters or at least those popular in the West. I took a picture of a lighting fixture, a big stainless steel can with deeply recessed bulbs hanging from this skeletal, steel scaffolding that just felt so good to the part of me that loves aesthetics in some Aristotelian way. I find a kind of nourishment in beauty ensconced in normalcy and was able to capture that because of the retained quality while zooming.

Yes 30x is shaky, yes 100x is very shaky and mostly blurry, but there is not a uselessness involved and I refuse to consider it a gimmick because what it really is is a new decision being made to potentially push the experience forward. That used to what Android was all about, not some half-assed pursuit of Apple's sterility approach (which is beautiful in its own way).

120 refresh is #godsplan tho. Went back to my Note 9/11 Pro and am just like...YUCK lol
