Android has been terrible when it comes to video, still no match for iOS when it comes to video recording. Apple raised the bar again with HDR video recording.
I don't agree I've seen a ton of review videos. In some I felt the iPhone won and in others the Samsung phone won. Both take very good daytime shots, night time shots, video etc. What The S21 Ultra has that the iPhone simply doesn't have is zoom.
Samsung's photos and videos always have this "fake" look to them. I can't put my finger on exactly what but the sharpness is artificially always cranked up and so are the colors.
I prefer the more natural look because it's usually what my eyeball sees in person. If I send a photo of a blue Porsche to my friend with my iPhone, he's most likely going to see the same blue Porsche that I saw. If I send it with a Samsung, it'll be some neon blue color, with darker blacks and blown out whites in the photo.
I do think the Android zoom fascination/obsession is hilarious though. LMAO.

And what Samsung simply don’t have is good video, as light goes less than ideal. Nor does it have consistency in its pics and portraits.
in photography, consistency is key.
lmfao I made the mistake of looking... sheesh. Absolutely normal bunch of people. 😂
"S21 uLtrA iS bEsT bRo eVeR " "eWw iPhOnE HaS 60 Hz " (this one always get me like bruhh it's a phone stop being so dramatic about how you could never go back to using 60hz ) "nOtCh BaD"
I normally take YouTube video influencers with a pinch of salt , but for the good few videos I’ve seen of this channel , he seems to be somewhat straight up and not so biased compared to others.
Be carful mate, don’t use your camera for more than 10 minutes or your phone will overheat. 🤦♂️😂
The last Samsung phone i bought was the Note that burst into flames and they recalled it, i bought it off a guy on gumtree brand new, came home and flipped on ebay in a few hours for a tidy profit, while it was in transit to the new owner the recall happened.
Never heard anything about it from the buyer lol.
I wouldn't buy one retail on release they tank by 30% plus with in a few months.
Their video is ok it’s just not as good as the iPhone’s video quality.
I think we can all agree that iPhone hardware is great but they definitely need to work on the software side of things. The camera app is pretty limited. I know some of the android stuff is gimmick but they are nice to have once you experienced them yourself. I got an android device from work (on top of using both iPhone 12 PM and iPhone 11 daily) and it is cool how you can just wave at the camera for a group selfie for example and it automatically takes the photo without having to fiddle around with the camera buttons
