Galaxy S21 Ultra vs iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera Test Comparison 

Which one you going for this year? The Galaxy S21 Ultra or the iPhone 12 Pro Max? The S21 Ultra used in this comparison is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 model.

Man this video made me order donuts

Me: I don't take pictures, I don't play games, I watch RU-vid and netflix on my tablet. Also me: I need the S21 ultra

The best camera comparisons hands down. Samsung has come along way with the S21U. Mines on pre order. Thanks Dan the Man

The trivial differences between these would be swamped by my lack of skill.

Wow Samsung really stepped up their game with their cameras this time, I'm super impressed.

The best camera comparaison on RU-vid. Period.

S21 Ultra is wow... Just wondering how long before the camera software gets updated?

Video is 🔥 as always

The only camera test comparison that is matters on youtube 👍🏼

Man I have the iPhone 12 and the lens reflection sometimes really gets on my nerve

Those night mode selfie portraits are INSANE how are you the first reviewer to even mention this??

Both look phenomenal, it's honestly all down to personal preference when it comes to smartphone cameras these days, they're all so good.

Mate you just made me to finally chose the phone I want,and this is going to be the s21 ultra. I was waiting for days now to see a real review of this 2 phones good job. You just gained a subscriber.

With Android, you can connect a cable to transfer your GBs of photos and videos fast. On iPhone, all cable or wireless transfer are slow. I use an iPhone currently and it's disappointing to see the ancient lightning technology still around. Anything that's slower than transfer speed of a USB3 SD card slot is slow to me. Edited to include the part on SD card.

Mr. Danny, in my opinion, you are the only one so far to do justice to the S21 Ultra, thank you.

Amazing what a phone camera can do! They are both wonderful. I actually have a Note 20 Ultra and an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Overall, I prefer my Samsung, but can't go wrong with either one.

Damn that moon photo from s21 ultra got me shook

The Night time 3x and 10x zoom on the S21 Ultra at 13:06 is simply stunning.

My lord samsung didn't come to play this year.they cameout swinging 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

The video we've all been waiting for from the youtuber we all love to see. Let's go Danny!

This is by far the most balanced camera comparison on RU-vid right now. Brilliant!

You're the only one who can take good pictures. When I see other tech reviewers with camera comparisons, they don't usually take that good photos. Great video overall :)

Galaxy S21 Ultra superou! Como eu queria ganhar um desse 😭

I really impressed with samsung bcz how they improved😍👏👏

The ceiling is higher for the S21 Ultra considering that it's basically running pre-release software.

Danny: "Look at the details on my face with the Samsung, you can basically see EVERYTHING!" All girls: "Yeah, we'll get the iPhone!"

I just noticed that Galaxy S21 Ultra AND the iPhone 12 Pro Max contain the same amount of letters lmao. Both contain 14 letters O_O

S21 ultra for the win!

Definitely going with the s21 ult

THIS is the video I've been waiting for

Been waiting on this! Every other camera comparison I've seen has been the Exynos variant.

Finally amazing comparison Danny 💪💪 I think samsung this year doing really great work , with the new update relase will see more from Samsung .

iPhone photos look over saturated compared to the Galaxy. Even iPhone selfies look filtered.

1 more week to go for my S21 Ultra

Best camera comparison video as always man! Would love to see you include the 8k video from the s21 ultra on the next one

Finally!!! Man you kept us waiting ;-)

This was definitely at Orlando, Florida Disney Springs.

Danny you're doing this very professionally. I hope you break that underrated barrier ❤️🔥

The most consistent photo comparison RU-vidr! I haven't seen any other other camera comparison of the s21 ultra where they showed the night portrait mode, big thumbs up for that. Absolutely love your content ❤️

In every condition the S21 Ultra looks me phenomenal and its beat the iPhone in many situations

Every sunset gives us one day less to live! But every sunrise gives us one day more to hope. So, hope for the Best. Good Day

This is the most underrated camera comparison on youtube.🔥 so much detailed and covering a wideee variety of shots. Keep up the good work💙👌

i laughed so much when i realized that his right ear was gone

The fact that s21 ultra has smart ISO in primary camera ( which means it makes two simultaneous shots, one with low ISO and one with high, this way there is so much room playing with those variables in future updates to get the perfect shot regardless of the situation) and also camera array versatility, means Samsung has basically in hands maybe the most powerful mobile camera hardware. Let's hope they get the software right for it

Such a great camera comparison as always Danny. I've been using iPhones for a long time. This time Samsung S21 Ultra can cut it. I would say for overall performance S21 is still better, taking versatility into consideration. The super close macro and super zoom 100x, as well as night mode across all 4 lenses and almost all shooting modes is godsend. I'm getting S21 ultra.

Your camera comparisons are the best because all the images are absolutely beautiful to look at !

iphone 12 pro max night time video stabilization is very good...

Thanks for the brilliant comparison. It was comprehensive and unlike some fellow you tubers I can keep your video running not having to pause because all I get is a second to compare two shots. Keep up the good work and I'm sure bokeh ears will be the next big thing in 2020 😂😂

Look how the tables have turned. Samsung became more natural in colors while having saturated colors way back then and iphone became very saturated while being more true to life and color accurate back then.

This was the best camera comparison I've seen. I switched to iPhone 12 pro max for the camera back in Dec and now seeing how good the S21 ultra is I'm strongly considering going back to android. Appreciate the hard work Danny

Finaly samsung take the advantage bravo samy

The pic of the moon on the samsung was crazy good!

14:36 impressive mistake😂

I trust this channels camera comparisons over all. I was actually set to switch over the the s21 ultra from my iPhone 11 Pro, I guess I get bored of a phone quickly in a year . This time though I am sticking with what I have. It’s not too far off the 12 Pro Max in performance and these two phones in the video are more down to preference than performance. I would conclude that Samsung do great camera smart phones and so do Apple. If you want all the extra flexibility and zoom , the go with Samsung but I still think Apple gives a slightly better over all experience. I still can’t sacrifice the Apple ecosystem for what Samsung offers in the way of better displays and general features/ customisation. I need to be able to use LumaFusion on my phone and IPad Pro. I am a fan of smartphones in general and you can’t go wrong with the offerings from Google, Apple and Samsung with cameras. If the iPhone 13 doesn’t offer the 120Hz LTPO panel and a better range in optical zoom at the end of the year and I see significant quality in the next generation of Samsung phones, I think I will have to finally leave iPhones .

You should take these two bad boys to a concert

Samsung would sell more phones when they replace that Samsung logo with the Galaxy logo on the back, the way they are doing it in Japanese market. At least in my own opinion.

Thank you for this - I can't wait to do videos with the s21 ultra. I'm glad I pre-ordered it now!

to be honest it looks fantastic the photos on both cameras!! maybe better HDR on the iphone but better zoom options on the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Samsung nailed this time, just waiting if exynos will compete effectively with sd888

i have the iPhone 12 pro max and the note 20 ultra and the pixel 4a5g all great phones ... I cant wait till my s21 ultra 512 gig comes in so i can test them all together !!!!

I chose the S21 Ultra because of choices and with software updates can be equal to the 12 Pro Max or better! I love to see details because it makes it look natural! I can't wait for update! Thank you for sharing!👍🏽

@ 14:33 The S21 doesn't want to show the AirPods Pro that is why your ear disappeared XD

I was really waiting for this video !!

Samsung won period!!!!

Enjoy your comparisons man! Salute

Thank you very much for showing Orlando...I visited the place 1 year ago.. I am from India and I feel very happy to recollect and ruminate the beautiful moments in Orlando... And, I am also very thankful for your brilliant comparison review which is very useful for me to take a buying decision...It works as a guide for me...❤️

Just excellent video You're such a good photographer, I can't believe I've not been seeing more of your videos Please make an S21 Ultra vs S21 too

I recommend lower the exposure when shooting Night mode on Samsung phones.

The best camera is the one you give away for free to one of your viewers.

I have the Samsung S21, and there are so many ways to use the camera that they need a book out. But I think the iPhone 12 pro max does a better job on photo and video if you are just a point and shoot type of person. The Samsung S21 has that pro mode and you can also save in RAW format. That's why I picked the S21.

I've been waiting for this!! Thanks for your amazing comparisons.

Great video as usual man. I had the iPhone 12 Pro Max, but had major issues with the video recording. Stuttering, janky frame rates - a first for me on an iPhone. Tried a few of them out at the Apple store, same problem across all models of the 12. So, after returning it, I decided to pre order the S21 Ultra. Fingers crossed it is a better performer for me.

Great job but There is a huge difference this time.Ultra destroys IPhone 12 Pro Max in photo, videos even selfies.ultra details are amazing.

Wow, such detailed camera comparison between the two phones, I am really impressed. Loved this video. I have decided to go for Samsung S21 ultra.

If you didn't say your ear went missing, I wouldn't even noticed. 😂

The S21 looks more brighter than the iphone 12

At least the S21 wont kill gramps by shutting off his pacemaker..

the zoom and moon shots sold me on the S21! definitely what i’m looking for in a phone

How do the cameras of the S21 Ultra compare to the Note 20 Ultra?

If you want package go with Samsung. If you want simplicity go with Apple.

s21 offers more for it,s value. The video is excellent. I will subscribe immediately.

Wow The way Samsung started to focus on their camera quality is just amazing

Gotta love that all of this was in Orlando! See you around brother!

Great comparison! Very unbiased. You've done it again sir 👍

I'm waiting for my ultra in phantom black 🖤

Where are the judges who didn’t hear a single word, kept looking on the samples and just judged the camera by themselves!

Great comparative! I can understand every word that you say, what a good pronunciation.

2 legends going head to head!

Excellent comparison. Love the way you compared so many aspects of the camera. Loved it.

Brilliant video. How did you get portraits that good on the galaxy? other reviewers are struggling with this

Now thats the video we were waiting to decide. Great video Danny.

Why am I watching this? I can't even afford iphone 6

i agree, this is the best samsung phone ever, i am a samsung phone lover since then...

The iPhone's audio-capture of your voice is impressive; warmer, and generally more resonant than the Samsung.

Danny Winget: this will be the most anticipated camera comparison of 2021 Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra: hold my beer

14:40 - LOL

No doubt, we love Samsung this time, after a long time we got a new look from Samsung and the camera performance looking fantastic and batter than i phone, only the night node in i phone is slightly better than Samsung S21 Ultra , except night mode, Samsung is two step ahead from Apple.

Nice one danny.. i have been waiting for your comparisons.. good job, keep it up

Great camera comparison. Watched a few from different reviewers. It's pretty safe to say, you can't go wrong with either. IMO, it comes down to the operating system attached to said camera.
