**Camera Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S10 II vs Apple iPhone 11 R**

When it comes to camera capabilities, both the Samsung Galaxy S10 II and Apple iPhone 11 R are powerful devices that can deliver impressive results. In this article, we'll be comparing the two phones in various camera modes, including night photography, food photography, and portrait mode.

**Night Photography**

The first test was night photography, where both phones used their standard wide-angle lenses. The result showed that the blacks were a little bit deeper on the Samsung Galaxy S10 II, but the iPhone 11 R's image quality was still impressive. However, when we switched to the wide-angle lens, the difference became more noticeable. The Samsung Galaxy S10 II's ultra-wide angle lens captured a much wider scene, with less distortion around the edges. It also applied some creative effects, such as starburst lights, which added to the night sky effect.

The iPhone 11 R's camera struggled to capture the same level of detail in this low-light scenario. The image looked more natural, but lacked depth and dimension. To make matters worse, when we tried to adjust for the night shot, it failed to identify that there was a night scene and did not apply any adjustments.

**Food Photography**

The next test was food photography, where both phones used their standard wide-angle lenses. The Samsung Galaxy S10 II performed significantly better in this mode, identifying that it was food and applying more contrast and saturation to make the dish look appetizing. The iPhone 11 R's camera failed to capture the same level of detail, resulting in a flat image with little color or depth.

To get a better shot, we had to zoom out from a closer distance, which still didn't produce the same results as the Samsung Galaxy S10 II. The special food effect on the iPhone added some warmth and saturation, but it looked artificial compared to the natural look of the Samsung's image.

**Varied Shots**

To test the cameras' versatility, we took some varied shots, including a frozen lake and a close-up subject. In both cases, the Samsung Galaxy S10 II performed better, capturing more detail and color in the images. The iPhone 11 R's camera struggled to capture the same level of depth and dimension.

**Portrait Mode**

When it came to portrait mode, both phones performed well on objects, allowing us to get closer without affecting the image quality. However, when it came to human subjects, things took a different turn. The Samsung Galaxy S10 II produced some smoothing effects around the subject's face and body, which were not as pronounced as those found in the iPhone 11 R's portrait mode.

The problem with the Samsung Galaxy S10 II's portrait mode was that it made the subject look washed out, similar to the beauty gate scandal that Apple faced months ago. The result looked unnatural and lacked depth, while the iPhone 11 R's portrait mode produced a more pleasing effect with more defined edges around the subject.

**Front-Facing Selfies**

When taking front-facing selfies, both phones performed well in terms of image quality. However, when we took a selfie with the Samsung Galaxy S10 II, the subject looked washed out and had some smoothing effects that detracted from the overall image.

The result was similar to the portrait mode test, where the Samsung Galaxy S10 II's camera made the subject look unnatural and lacked depth. The iPhone 11 R's front-facing camera produced a more pleasing effect with more defined edges around the subject's face.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, while both phones performed well in certain scenarios, such as portraits and wide-angle shots, the Samsung Galaxy S10 II had some significant advantages over the Apple iPhone 11 R. In low-light conditions, particularly when using wide-angle lenses, the Samsung Galaxy S10 II outperformed the iPhone 11 R, capturing more detail and dimension in its images.

The food photography test also showed that the Samsung Galaxy S10 II was better equipped to handle this type of shot, producing a more appetizing image with more contrast and saturation. The varied shots and portrait mode tests revealed some issues with both cameras, but ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy S10 II produced more pleasing results in these scenarios.

However, it's worth noting that the iPhone 11 R still produced great images in many situations, particularly when compared to other Android phones on the market. Ultimately, the choice between these two phones will depend on individual preferences and needs.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's time once more to compare cameras we're going take a look at photos from the iPhone 10 art in the Galaxy S 10 e welcome everyone it is Andrew here from Apple Insider we've already taken a close look at how the photo quality compares between the iPhone 10's Macs and the Galaxy S 10 plus if we take a look at the specs the Galaxy S 10 II has three cameras there's one selfie camera here on the front that's 8 megapixels and a round back we have two more a wide-angle 12 megapixel lens and a 16 megapixel ultra wide-angle lens for everything we do in this comparison we're gonna keep everything stock we're gonna use the default camera apps on both our iPhones as well as our s10 II and we're not gonna do any editing afterwards they may be cropping things down to fit them into the video frame we're gonna run through several different modes testing different capabilities such as the ultra wide angle lens versus the wide angle lens things like the food photography how that works with just the standard photography or using that special food photography filter effect that this phone has built-in and of course we'll compare live focus versus portrait mode over on the iPhone comparatively the iPhone 10 R also has a 12 megapixel wide-angle lens on the back the same focal length equivalent of the one on the s10 II and of course on the front it has a 7 megapixel true depth camera system used for taking selfies as well as using that portrait effect facing yourself let's jump right in starting off with some night photography both phones did create with their standard wide angle lens though the blacks were a little bit deeper on that s 10 E but was even more impressive was jumping into that wide-angle lens you can see how much more expanse of the image is and if we overlay the original image from the S tiny you can see how much more you can get in that single shot so there is a bit of distortion around the edges and the image quality goes down just a hair in this night photo you can see the effect that the Samsung applies to all those little light bulbs that are strung above the roads some people like that kind of starburst effect other people don't so that's up to you but to me it looks a little bit fake now we have some of flowers and this was another test of the s10 II and its ability to determine what object was in the photo previously it could tell there was a night shot and made adjustments for that and here it - the same thing for flowers on that we identifying that flowers were in the photo we like the pictures of the flowers more on the iPhone but those on the s10 II had a more natural-looking background switching gears to some food photography the s10 II absolutely have the better image using the standard wide-angle lens it identified that it was food and a little bit more contrast as well as a bit more saturation to make the food looked a lot more appetizing those in the iPhone just looked flat using the special food effect we did have to get a little bit further out it didn't look bad here on ER sound though we still kind of preferred it with just a standard lens and without that effect applied mixing it up with some more varied shots here we have some water I'll be it frozen the s tangy looked a little bit more on the warm side and less natural we looked a little bit cooler on the iPhone here with another kind of close-up subject it definitely looks a little bit better on the 10r though it's a little darker yes 10 he looks a little washed out and we're not getting as much color as we'd expect from phones from Samsung which are usually oversaturated our barn pens here looks very similar in both images though there is a little bit more warmth a little bit more saturation there in the s10 II using portrait mode on objects work fairly well on both units that we could get a lot closer with the s Teddy than we could with the iPhone 10 are there also those different live focus effects that were kind of fun on the s10 II however when it came to human subjects it was a different story here we have a portrait mode photo from our iPhone 10 art everything looks very good but when we look at the s10 e-version the shirt and the face basically the subject gets a little bit more washed out and very blurred it's basically the beauty gate scandal that Apple had to deal with many months ago but now same thing is doing it and they're doing it even worse we saw similar smoothing effects when we did a front-facing selfie again the subject looks a little bit more washed out on the s10 II and everything is smoothed out just a bit too much both camera systems here are amazing first certain times like portraits and various other shots we the iPhones in other situations like the food photography were in wide-angle situations the galaxy definitely was the better choice so which photos do you prefer let us know down below in the comments enjoy that video click like' and
