Samsung Unveils Galaxy S20 Smartphones With 5G Connectivity, New Cameras, $1,000 to $1,400 Price Range and More

Except that it does.

Give a photographer a Canon T3i from 2011 and some random off the street a 5ds with the same lens and see how that works out for you

Except that it does. This is the same sensor used by Huawei, and it already beat the iPhone 11 Pro in a comparison made by Marques Brownlee.

This is Samsung's implementation, which I guess will be better. Anyway the phone selectively adjust and decides the Megapixel count depending on the light conditions, it will not always try to use the 108 MPx sensor. It has a 12 MPx for low light situations.

You can also zoom optically to crazy levels, that is very Pro my friend. It has focused definition, meaning it can decide to select parts of your image, focused on it and make it look sharper. Instead of accusing this phone of gimmicky, Apple should see what the competition is doing and try to deliver much more.

I didn't say that this camera is worse than the iPhone 11 Pro.. having more megapixels alone doesn't mean better pictures.

They were pushing the "Megapixel" count in the live stream and I was simply stating that megapixels isn't everything in photography. They are just pushing these massive numbers for wow factor to trick consumers. I like that Apple actually makes improvements in other areas of the camera without focusing on the megapixels of the camera

Very impressive specs, including a “ProMotion” equivalent display refresh rates (120), a base storage of 128 GB (further expandable) and really impressive sounding cameras. Apple will be playing catch up this autumn and I hope they deliver. ?

Hmmm...Jealousy I detect in this forum...

with a CPU that can't even match A13.

Does it really matter in real-life use? I use iPhone 11 and do not see much difference with iPhone 7 and fresher models for day-to-day tasks.

Android fanbois: APPEL FONEZ IS TOO SPENSIVE.

Samsung: Hold my beer.

Wrong. I can put the best sensor in the world and it will look awful without a good lens and good image processing software.

 

[brsboarder]

no one can argue that the front looks great, we'll see how the fingerprint sensor works along with their implementation of face id

 

[omontalvan]

This Samsung looks absolutely horrible. Is this sarcasm?

It's obviously not the prettiest phone but please do tell how is the iPhone any better than this??

maybe a little for the first time in a while. Apple needs to step it up a bit though.

And that's exactly what Samsung is doing here too. They are not just "adding more megapixels".

In terms of looks? In every single way.

At the same price point, I'll choose the iPhone EVERY time.

ProMotion dynamically adjusts the refresh rate. No android phone manufacturer has ever stated that their high refreshrate screens can adjust on the fly.

Also, adoptable storage is still garbage. I buy Apple's highest capacity phones for a reason (and not because there isn't an SD Card slot for water and dust to get in through).

• No one gives a s**t about 8K video and shouldn't for like a decade at least
• More pixels in a camera ≠ better image quality
• Samsung campers have criticized the iPhone's camera bump for years, only to introduce the absolute fugliest one yet of anyone in the industry
• Enjoy your 16GB of RAM - you'll need at least half of it to run that god-awful bloatware Samsung loads on top of Android
• "Galaxy Buds" are a clear and blatant rip off of the AirPods (I'm guessing they were so busy trying to even catch up that they had no time to come up with a more original design)

Did I miss anything?

What is the point of a 108 MP tiny sensor and tiny lenses like this? Does it actually save the files as 108 MP files or does it get processed down to something more sane because with 108 MP files you're going to need storage in TB not GB.

Wrong. I can put the best sensor in the world and it will look awful without a good lens and good image processing software.

Wrong? Did you really mention "image processing"? The same guys that started low light photography through Image Processing... Man, iPhone 11 Pro is the only decent phone Apple has released in this regard, Samsung and Google have been killing it in the Image Processing and Digital Photography field for years.

That's just marketing on Apple's part for Panel Self Refresh. Everything has it at this point for power savings, even my crappy 5 year old Dell with a 60 Hz LCD.

It still changes on the fly, and correct, for power savings.

Again, no robotphone does that.

You realize any color picture requires image processing because color data is interpolated? At this point, noise removal, dead pixel removal, color processing is just as important as the optics.

Apparently you didn't look at the Buds.
They look nothing like AirPods.

 

[mi7chy]

100MP? I think you need to read this article again.

S20 Ultra has 108MP.

 

[gregrichards]

The few Samsung phones I have always had problems with them and they also plummeted in value after less than 12 months. I prefer iPhones and they retain more of there value when I upgrade every year. I will never buy another Samsung phone I don't care how many megapixels the cameras have.

 

[profets]

Interesting to see Samsung go away from the screen that falls over the edge, and now it looks more uniformly flat right across. Just my opinion, but I never liked that curved screen edges.

Also interesting, I'm surprised that yet again they still haven't managed to get symmetrical bezels. They're quite thin on the sides and the top, but somehow the 'chin' is a thicker bezel still.

Just an FYI regarding the refresh rate - by default the phone runs at 60hz with the native QHD+ resolution, and to run it at 120hz the resolution drops to 1080p.

S20 Ultra has 108MP.

Yeah, I missed that part. I thought you meant 100x zoom.

 

[jdclifford]

look at all those people that said the iPhone's camera was ugly but haven't commented on the look of Samsung's camera

These camera bumps are getting uglier and uglier (on both iPhone & androids)
