iPhone 12 vs Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 FE - CAMERA Comparison! | The Tech Chap 

Hey Chaps! Which Phone do you think won?? (Prices: iPhone is $799, Pixel 5 & S20 FE are $699)

I don't think anyone will be disappointed with any of these smartphones cameras

Hands down the S20 FE for me... both the pictures & videos were amazing... I definitely think the extra contrasts help to bring out a much better photo ❤️

The pixel's camera software processing is so good it scares me

I really like the part where you hid the phone names and changed the order. it's great to reflect a bit without any bias.

Overall, I would choose S20 FE.

The s20 really is the overall killer, it does everything solid and is at least top 2 almost everywhere with some leads aswell... Just great

I'm thinking of the Samsung FE. Good price , and more to offer. Cheers.

2:13 shocked me, I didn't expect the picture to be that sharp at 10x zoom on the s20 fe

S20 FE for me

I still like the FE as I prefer the zoom. I got the coffee one wrong. But the other one write. I'm nit m not in to selfies so that does not bother me and the rest was good in the Fe

One of the best comparison videos I have watched so far. Keep it up! Just made up my mind to go for S 20 FE!

that night shot of stars on the Pixel 5 is out of this world, this is so beautiful :O

Honestly, still loving, & regularly blown away by my Pixel 2XL, & JUST ordered my Pixel 5, & this video makes me happy about that choice... Cheers.

What you did with the comparisons is a good choice, not the flagships, but phones that people actually buy. Good one, appreciate it (S20 FE owner in Latin America > Costa Rica)

I ordered the S20 FE yesterday but not just for the Zoom. Based solely on the main camera, I could see buying the Pixel. But I like the other things that the Galaxy offers like bigger screen and battery, better processor, SD card slot, and the zoom.

S20 FE and Pixel were my favored shots/video. Pixel is a bit more natural and does better in dark, but s20 more vibrant and love the zoom. Really hard choices. These are the 3 phones U am considering, so glad to find this.

Number killer side of FE is sound quality & over all as well. Someone with me ? Hit the like

5:30. The saturation from the S20 FE and the iPhone 12 is obviously on par. Why do keep saying that S20 FE is oversaturated? Maybe because it's Samsung and they had a reputation of over saturating photos especially with scene optimizer turned on

i just want the phone that makes me look the best when im taking pics in general lmao

They really all look amazing. It’s remarkable how far we’ve come in 10 years with smartphone cameras.

Turn off scene optimizer on galaxy s20fe

I really can’t believe the s20 pictures look so good. I had experienced very bad pictures in the past until the S10 series.

Thanks for the homework you've done for us! This is so important for a typical small consumer like me

Thanks for actually doing a video on the regular iPhone 12 it seems like too many RU-vidrs forgot that it even existed

Here in India, FE costs INR 40K, iPhone 12 costs INR 80K (64GB) Pixel 5 - not launched. Its insane how good S20 FE is, for the money it costs.

I like it when I have to choose which photo I like most. That way I can make up my own opinion. I would like to see more comparisons like those

I think all these phones create amazing picture results, but for me, the Samsung s20 fe had an huge advantage with that telephoto lense. In my opinion, telephoto capability, (on top of a good sensor, optics and processing) is that last piece needed for a phone to finally become a proper and versatile camera. So I bought the S20 Fe for my girlfriend and the zoom details are really as good as in your video and unlike anything I have ever seen on a phone before. So I think the years and years of hauling Canons and Lumix cameras for the zoom shots on our hikes, that time has finally come to an end 😅

Amazing comparison, thank you. My own take: Opening shot: The iPhone looks blurry in the most important part, his face, compared to the other two side by side. 47 seconds into it The Pixil had problems adjusting as quickly from darker to lighter more than the iPhone and Galaxy which had no wash-out/glare at all. 1 minute 3s in you can see more details on the Galaxy than the other two, look at the leaves on the tree at the ground. but 4 seconds later on the ultrawide the Pixil seems to edge out the other two slightly on detail on the furthest object, the tower in the upper right, 1m13s:The iPhone is just a little blurry in the face again, and the Pixil has that contrast issue it did earlier which darkens her face and creates a glow on the edge of her hair, the Galaxy looks normal/detailed. 3 seconds later as he wildly swings the camera around the Pixil seems to pick up the fine details in the branches -slightly- better than the other two, with the Galaxy looking fairly detailed, and the iPhone again looking slightly blurry compared to the other two. 1m30s:Again the Galaxy picks up the details better than the other two, noticeably the leaves in the tree, the edges of the stonework on the tower, and most importantly the rainbow. Again the iPhone seems to blur the colors of the leaves in the tree a bit (is this slight blur intentional?) The Zoom on the Galaxy is impressing and clearly blows the other two out of the water. 2m2s:The details on that impressive red tree are again picked up noticeably better on the Galaxy than the other two. The Galaxy also picks up the color on the window and roof to the left of the tree better than the other two, bringing out the blueish tinge rather than showing it as a pure grey. Again unsurprisingly the Galaxy destroys on the zoom yet again. 2m30s:A house and another rainbow despite what the guy says to me The Pixil looks a little washed out, the iPhone is a little better, and again the Galaxy destroys the other two in both color and detail. He thinks the Galaxy doesn't look realistic, I think it looks amazing in this shot, it looks right out of a fairy tale movie everything is so vibrant. 2m49s:The Flower Again he seems to not like this shot on the Galaxy, but to me both the moisture on the petals and the background, though blurry since it's not in focus on any of the three cameras, is much more detailed and have greater contrasts in colors on the Galaxy than the other two. 3m49s:The Swan He touches on something important the iPhone has 'smartHDR3" which 'evens things out' well that's apparently why so many of the important parts of the iPhone's shots look blurry to me. 4m:2s:The Wife I agree with him the Pixil looks the best, the iPhone is again blurry, and although the Galaxy is hands down miles ahead of the other two in the background, look at the details and colors on that tree branch and the building in the back, when looking at her face the Galaxy shows the eyebrows how they truly are, a bit darker, and the pixil lightens them up making the face more uniform and pleasant, almost like it has a built-in filter. 4m19s:The coffee test. It was incredibly easy to figure out which one was which, the Galaxy picks up the background details much better than the other two, the iPhone blurs everything a bit intentionally, and the Pixil is a middle ground. I again like the Galaxy better for this one. 4m31s:Between buildings test. Again this was completely obvious, the furthest left is incredibly detailed with wonderful colors on the skylight windows of the building, has a bright blue sky and of course is the Galaxy, The middle one is blurry and washes the colors all together a bit muting contrasts, but somehow picks up a darker blue sky like in earlier iPhone pictures, so that's the iPhone, and the middle ground again is the Pixil, just like in earlier pictures it picks up things a bit better than the iPhone with some more detail/color contrast, but not as good as the Galaxy, and somehow is the worst at sky/clouds of the tree. 4m55s:Cat. Pixil is a clear loser here on how close up it has to be, but it fairs better on the colors than the iPhone, and the Galaxy manages to get the colors and the details edging out the other two. The iPhone's only plus here is it seems to lighten the cats right eye, making the face a little more appealing than the other two. 5m11s:Himself. The Pixil just looks the best here, the iPhone has it's signature blur-everything, the Galaxy while good as more contrast in the shadows of the eyes, which the Pixil has lightened without blurring. A few seconds later on the second shot of himself I again love what he hates, the Galaxy's vivid colors take the best picture, and somehow the Pixil here manages to make the eyes look darker, trying and failing for that middle ground. The iPhone doesn't look bad for this second shot, save for the background which is much blurrier than the other two. 5m33s:Night Mode various pictures: The Pixil struggles more than the other two with the lower lighting just as it did with daytime shadow/sunlight shots, light sources drown out darker , The iPhone Nukes the problem head-on by brightening everything to much which changes the colors and makes them washed out, while still also having problems with glare right around the light source. The Galaxy is the clear winner for me, it maintains colors, picks up details while avoiding the iPhone's issue of lightning things to much, the Galaxy's shots still look like 'this is a low light situation, but here's all the info you wanted'. 6m32s: Stars, wow that Astrophotography mode on the Pixil is amazing, but I'll admit that is a very situational feature that might only come up once or twice a year at most. Again we see that the iPhone's night mode nukes the crap out of the scene washing everything out into brightness. The Galaxy doesn't fair well with this one, it looks more realistic than the iPhone but it picks the least stars out from all three. 6m43: Selfie front camera. Starting with low light, the iPhone actually looks the best for this one. This time the Pixil looks washed out, and the Galaxy looks too contrasted. The iPhone's blur feature actually works well in this low-light-but-no-night-mode-on fringe situation. Once he switches into Night mode for this low light shot the Galaxy pulls ahead for me, the colors in the background flatter and pull attention right to his face, the iPhone gets washed out a little now, and the Pixil is even worse brightening things too much. Switching to the daytime selfie in portrait mode I agree with him completely, this is the first time that the Galaxy looks the most washed out of the three. The Pixil looks to have the biggest contrasts and the iPhones blur-feature is working well to smooth out his face. 7m15s:A Final video. This is more of the same from earlier, the iPhone obviously has an automatic built-in filter that blends things, and in this is sort of goes a bit to far, making his eyebrows disappear into his skin a bit. The Pixil looks better than the iPhone, but is zoomed in a bit to much, and finally the Galaxy looks great there's so much detail on his face, in his hair, the fuzzy lining of his jacket and the fence/leaves behind him, but maybe some people don't want to see all those little details like their laugh lines?

S20 FE for best all rounder. Pixel for people and faces and iphone for scenery and video.

6:22 I instantly click the like button because you are the first youtuber I've seen is doing astrophotography comparison ❤

The Fe is a great option, especially with expandable storage, but I think the pixel wind on this overall, although very close with the iPhone, but the iPhone white balance out of the box is not as well handled

The galaxy s20 Fe is the clear winner when it comes to pictures and video but the pixels portrait mode looks better I'm currently a pixel 3 xl user and looking to upgrade

Good comparison. I guess I am a sucker for the s20 FE's processing as I just love the way it's shots come out. I easily preferred both of the shots taken by the S20 FE in the blind comparison, though The iPhone easily wins for all video recording. It really seems to be a cut above. The Pixel may be accurate and capture a lot of detail, but the shots from the main lens just seem to come out so drab and lifeless to my (admittedly untrained) eyes. The S20 has a not great selfie cam, but it really isn't an issue for me.

Love that comparison! Thanks for the good work and for the beautiful views!

Omg FE looks amazing

I was about to sleep and suddenly got your notification. Watched it, liked it. & Waiting for your iPhone 12 mini video.

dude its really hard to tell the difference between these three for photos they are all good but in videos Samsung and iPhone they are really close but that's my opinion maybe it's me or maybe it's my eyes or it's my screen that I'm looking at great video btw

really great and helpful video. the FE is second behind the Pixel in camera performance but last in microphone performance; you voice was more "muddy" and less clear and natural sounding compared with the other two phones. The FE did kill in in ultra telephoto, however. I'm left with a lot to think about but I thank you for that :)

still loving my pixel 3a xl - so far im happy with it!

I’m actually impressed with the Pixel now (cries with indecision 😂). Love this format, please do more! I’ve been leaning towards the 12Pro, but could I be swayed with another🤔

I’m just in love with the astro photography on the pixel 5, the guys at Google are really amazing, just to bad they haven’t updated the hardware.. I think I’m gonna switch my iPhone XR to the FE, really love it

This video that im waiting for. 🤩 Tks u

Watching on my s20 fe😁

S20 Fe's camera is really good and more versatile , and if u want more natural colors you can install gcam mod or reduce saturation in Google photos

I like the contrast of the S20. The HDR on the others make it look washed out

Thank you so much for your video! 🙏

i dont think he gave the s20 fe enough credit

I like S20 FE .

I've never thought of visiting England but, wow, what a gorgeous location. Those people were doing marvelous monuments in the Middle Ages. A time of financial prosperity, no doubt. I usually prefer Samsung cameras but, the iPhone was the best one overall, I think. Stabilization, colors, light, audio, photos - iPhone Zoom - Samsung

love my pixel 5 in general. wish it had a setting to change colour profile to boost the saturation a bit by default tho, as personally I have to edit every photo I take to boost it a touch. personal taste.

Big fan of your videos ... keep it up mate!

"What is your favourite phone right now?" I already have one, and I chose Sage green by the way :)

I like vibrant colors on s20fe❤️

not that it takes post-processing or custom settings into account, but just out-of-the-box footage here, the iphone looks clearly in the lead, and I'm not a big Apple fan. Great comparison, it can be hard to do a controlled test of these things.

When you do the note 20 ultra camera comparison please include the Xperia 1 ii. After learning to account for different lighting conditions (properly setting the shutter, iso, and white balance, etc.) the pictures and videos are amazing!

For me S20 fe and if you don't like satured colors you can reduced in the circle of focus in half of the 1nd with a swipe or drag...now , if you want better photos in all ways use the pro-mode .

omg AVC codec makes the video quality literally terrible, i bet that the VP9 is still processing, i think that you should schedule your videos to give them time to render the higher quality ones

Heeey!! I really liked the astrophotography you took on the pixel ! How can I get it

Glad i picked pixel 3a xl. The image processing of pixel 5 is damn good!

Just got the IP 12 reg yesterday and the Pixel 5 today. Was thinking about moving to the 12 from the Pixel line but the pics just are a wee bit better on Google's than Apple's and your vid nails that as well. Apple seems will always reign supreme when it comes to videos.

I've been watching so many of these comparison videos and its so confusing because some of them the iPhone looks better and others the Pixel looks better. I guess that goes to show how close they are.

The reviewer missed the ghosting issue of the iPhone on 6:16 on the right wall. Such common oversight on comparisons.

Hey Chap! Did you use the native software camera on s20 fe ?

S20 FE with SD865 will be a better choice than all in every aspect i think, its telephoto lens is amazing. I'm going to buy it.

Video mode on S20 FE can zoom in 3x optical

That coffee looked awesome! What was it. Mocha

Thanks for telling us your choice, and the video itself is very helpful 👍🏻.

They are all awesome phones,, Comes down to personal preference..

Yooooo, my guesses are correct! Ahh accomplishment for the day haha my eyes kinda keen on the FE hehe maybe bc Im just a lazy person to edit anything hehe

Thanks for the test! How well can the DNG of the Pixel 5 and the Samsung be handled in LR oder Photoshop Camera RAW? My Pixel 3a outputs the best DNG in my experience. No contest with the DNG of my Note 9. You can really post-process the Pixel DNG like most normal RAW pictures from any camera. How are the RAWs of the newer Samsungs? Oh and most importanty: Is it possible to shoot RAW with the ultra wides?

If you are into a true to life photos, color accuracy, sharpness & a little bit more serious into photography, might as well go for pixel, if you like a zoom- in camera, better performance, gaming etc. go for s20 fe.

Wondering why people in general lean towards the natural looks on smartphone and with DSLR they take it RAW and do the editing after so the ending results people might not so be into natural looks.🤔

Pixel is most natural colours but they’re basically the same

todo el tiempo el s20 fe me tenia enamorado hasta que vi esa ASTROFOTOGRAFIA DEL PIXEL 5, NO TENGO PALABRAS, IMPRESIONANTE.

I'm blown away by the pixel shoot of the stars.

Wow, am I seeing this correctly..? Pixel 5 actually has the best video!

Now I love the Pixel 5 even more. Maybe I´ll swing for 4a 5G next year.

I love the video. The beginning was epic

I've been searching for s20 fe in the past few month in 2021.... this is the only video that shows astrophoto with s20 Fe. Thank you! I've found my answer

Fantastic video as ever. Pixel 5 for me, they just have the natural colour accuracy spot on.

Thank you for comparing the iPhone and Pixel to a Samsung that's in the same price range. Everyone else is comparing them to the Note 20 Ultra - a $1,300 phone - and acting as though that's perfectly fair.

I think iPhone always seems to come out on to with most things, night mode can blow put lighting and detail which is a bot of a downer. But when you did Dolby HDR it made you look pale in the face and didn’t really like that

great video man! I love your english accent btw

I have 20/20 vision and watching on a 4k screen, and i thought the galaxy S20 FE won that hands down 👍

7:36 look at the detail of the inner shirt on the google pixel, it's incredible

I have an iPhone 7 Plus and I don’t like how warm it makes everything. I always though iPhone took brighter pictures but I’d really be interested in something that takes more realistic and lifelike photos. I don’t like taking a picture of myself and looking orange when I’m more naturally pale. If I wanted to edit it then I would put a filter on it lol. I really am liking the Pixel 5. Been using an iPhone for 9 years but I am seriously considering switching this year but I just can’t decide!

Imagine how epic the pixel zoom could be if google wouldnt use a sensor that is 2 years old now

S20 FE is really a very good value Especially the 5G version because of Snapdragon 865. The camera is on par with both others. And it has a much more powerful and future proof processor. Then it has 120Hz display. Best phone Samsung has made in years. Maybe not "Ultra" but right for most at a reasonable price.

Pixel 5 stabilization is DOPE!!!!!! I can barely see the stuttering or jiggling effect while you're walking😍

I've owned a 4xl for a year now and had pixel devices in the past . It does take a brilliant photo but I think it's a portrait phone . Take anything in portrait and it beats the rest ,take a general photo and it's not much better than its competition .

S20fe has the hardware but the other two have the better tuning imo. Also the Pixel is quite impressive. Now it seems like the pixel doesn’t have that “pixel look” and instead the iPhone sometimes has that kind of look. Both are great in different areas.

The S20FE 5G is about half the price as the Pixel 5 in India right now, so yep! Also, a good $300 cheaper than the 128gig iPhone 12!

The FE records 4k at 60 fps with the front camera as well.

I think I will go with 12pro. Based on its overall performance too and camera is also🔥👌

Did you use the Szene opti. On the pics?

Samsung s20 fe 👌💗

Photos very similar, with zoom and wide angle clearly better on Samsung. Video iPhone 100% kills it!

In my opinion front camera colours on Samsung seems very off, I like the softer and warmer image of the iPhone for front, while using back cameras they all do a very good job

Which version of S20 FE do you use? exynos version or snapdrahon version?
