Photo quality

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy S11 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I've loved the quality from the camera , I came from a Galaxy s10 and the difference is crazy noticeable, man the sharpness , contrast ,detail , zoom , bro is amazing I'm freaking nin love with this phone , sorry I can't upload photos , xda app says "bad request" ?

I don't know...the quality of the zoom is pretty junk

 

[vandal4e]

cause there is no zoom just sensor cropping and pathetic pricing, try Mi 10 pro

I like S20 Ultra 108Mpx sensor. Mostly I'm shooting on this sensor with export to 12Mpx in Lightroom if I'm not using 0.5x or 4x lenses.

So I had an exynos S20, camera was very poor even after the update.

The 64mp camera had practically no auto focus, and the lag in taking the pic ment blur on every photo.

The lower resolution helped with the auto focus however still lag in the photo taking.

Ultra has problem with close photo. Try more distance and zoom.

The main camera isn't for shots that close

I hadn't had a Samsung phone for a while, and I've come from a Mate 20 Pro, so although the camera on my S20+ "can" be better, it sometimes isn't at all. Macro is one area where Huawei does it so much better, all you need to do on a Huawei phone is get close to the target and the ai automatically switches camera lens for you to the best option, and focuses perfectly... This is something Samsung seems to lack, and it's a big miss for me. But surely, something that can be added in software.

Used to hate that with my P30, there was no way to disable AI from switching to macro, if they'd added that feature to the AI on/off function it would have made a lot more sense

 

[madpete]

Didn't you just used to turn off Master Ai? That's what I used to do on the Mate 20 Pro on the odd occasion and it was very easy, but personally I thought it was mostly a great feature.

Yes, as I said, disabling AI made no difference for macro auto

 

[madpete]

Oh right, that's wierd it worked fine on my Mate 20 Pro.

Even my old iPhone 7 takes better photos then my S20+ Exynos

Make a comparison and show results.

Hello guys , I have a p40 pro , I just get it and I can still return it ...the thing its that I'm thinking to move to S20 Ultra , It's worth it ? From what I saw the camera on S20 Ultra its pretty bad .
Also, if someone knows , In UK at vodafone , wich version its sold , Ex or Snapdragon ?
I'm thinking about samsung because it has google services and much more development , but camera it's very important as well .
