**Outdoor Lighting Conditions: A Comparative Analysis of Camera Phones**

When it comes to capturing life's moments outdoors, camera phones play a crucial role. In this article, we will delve into the outdoor lighting conditions of two popular mid-range smartphones, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and the Samsung Galaxy M20.

In terms of outdoor lighting conditions, both cameras performed decently well. However, there was a noticeable color difference between the two devices. The contrast on the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 was better than that of the Samsung Galaxy M20. As seen in the image, the background of the picture taken with the Asus phone appears to be blown up compared to the Samsung device. Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that the colors captured by both cameras are accurate.

**Color Accuracy and Contrast**

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2's camera excelled in terms of color accuracy and contrast, particularly when capturing the details of natural subjects such as plants. The colors produced by this camera were more vibrant and lifelike, making it easier to distinguish between different hues. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy M20 struggled to accurately capture the colors of the same subject.

**Human Subjects: Zoomed-In Images**

When it comes to capturing human subjects, especially when zooming in on a picture, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2's camera took the lead. The camera's ability to produce sharp and detailed images made it easier to focus on specific features such as facial expressions. This was particularly evident when taking pictures of bouquets, where both cameras were shot in "Bouquet Mode." However, upon zooming in, the Asus phone produced a more vibrant and accurate image compared to its Samsung counterpart.

**Indoor Lighting Conditions: Artificial Lighting**

When it comes to indoor lighting conditions, such as artificial lighting, both cameras struggled to produce consistent results. The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2's camera performed better in this regard, capturing images with less overexposure and more nuanced details. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy M20's camera often produced washed-out or overly bright images.

**Video Recording: Front-Facing Camera**

In terms of video recording, both cameras fared well. However, there was one notable exception - the front-facing camera on the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 struggled to produce good results in video recordings. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy M20's front-facing camera performed better, capturing more natural and lifelike images.

**Video Recording: Rear-Facing Camera**

When it comes to rear-facing camera video recording, both cameras produced decent results. However, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 took a slight lead in terms of video quality. The camera was able to produce sharper and more detailed footage compared to its Samsung counterpart. Additionally, the camera's 4K video recording feature was not utilized due to limitations on the device.

**Video Recording: Front-Facing Camera (Comparison)**

To compare the front-facing cameras of both devices, a video recording was taken using each phone's front-facing camera. The results were starkly different - the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2's front-facing camera produced poor results, while the Samsung Galaxy M20's performed well.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, while both cameras performed well in outdoor lighting conditions, there are notable differences between them. The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 excelled in terms of color accuracy and contrast, particularly when capturing natural subjects. However, its front-facing camera struggled to produce good results in video recordings. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy M20's front-facing camera performed better, but its rear-facing camera struggled with artificial lighting conditions.

**Camera Comparison: A Summary**

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 took a clear lead in terms of overall camera performance compared to the Samsung Galaxy M20. While both cameras had their strengths and weaknesses, the Asus phone excelled in key areas such as color accuracy and contrast, particularly when capturing natural subjects. However, its front-facing camera struggled with video recording.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranchi tan and this video we'll be doing the camera comparison between the zenfone max pro m2 and samsung m20 quite a few of you have been asking me which one has a better camera so let's find that out what I'll be doing is I'll be showing you lot of samples side-by-side and even videos so that you can judge which one has a better camera so let's do it these sample pictures taken an outdoor lighting conditions and as you can see both the zenfone and the Samsung actually do pretty decent in outdoor lighting conditions but there is a color difference as you can see the contrast is better on the zenfone and again as you can see this light better so contrast and colours on the zenfone the color difference is there again notice this nose clearly the Samsung the rose color is very pale whereas on the zenfone at a produce accurate color even on this Laughing Buddha the color was slightly better on the zenfone in this picture I feel Samsung did better in terms of sky color but on this picture as you can see there is a lot of difference the zenfone background is sort of blown up but when we zoom in notice the colors of the plants they are more accurate on the zenfone now moving to human subjects notice my face and when i zoom and clearly as you can see the zenfone I got a lot more detail this was taken in the bouquet mode same situation but again when we zoom in as you can see the bouquet is much better on the zenfone compared to the Samsung m20 I mean this was also taken in the bouquet mode now moving to some pictures and indoor lighting conditions here again I feel the Zen phone's exposure is better than the Samsung the Samsung is just making me white pictures and artificial lighting in my office and again when we zoom in the picture is slightly more sharper on the zenfone as you can see notice my face again one more picture in artificial lighting conditions and again when we zoom up notice my face the face is slightly sharper on the zenfone this was taken with the bow came more when we zoom into the picture again both pictures are actually soft but again notice the colors are much better on the zenfone I mean this was taken with the front-facing camera and this one's in folded slightly better again the Samsung is just whitening up the picture quite a bit my Frank opinion and this was taken in artificial lighting conditions and here the Samson's front-facing camera is struggling in artificial lighting conditions as you can see recording this with the rear facing camera of the Samsung Galaxy M 20 and guys I'm just going to walk around to give you an idea how is the video I'm recording it at 1080p this is the maximum resolution for this one and guys as you can see I'm just moving around so this should give you an idea how's the video recording with the galaxy M 20 Israel facing camera now I'm recording this part of the video with the rear facing camera of this as n phone max pro m2 and the highest video recording setting is actually 4k but I'm recording this one also at 1080p because the Samsung Galaxy M 20 can only record at that one so i thought why require at 4k with this one so this is also at 1080p and the audio is also being recorded why it's internal microphone this is a little bit of vent so they might be with noise so you guys let me know which one do you think is doing a better job in terms of video recording hi there this is Ranjith and I'm recording this video with this Asus zenfone max Pro m2 and the audio is also being recorded why are it's in turn of the microphone so this should give you an idea how is the video with the front-facing camera of this Asus max from m2 recording the sample with the front-facing camera of this galaxy m20 and as you can see guys I'm just walking around so this should give you an idea how would be the front-facing camera of the samsung galaxy m20 the audio is also being recorded by its internal mic so as you saw with the sample shots definitely I would say overall if we take into the picture the asus zenfone max pro m2 has better cameras compared to the samsung m20 but there are two areas where i felt that the samson went to better which was in the US what is a front-facing camera when you are doing the video recording for some reason and I did this to us twice the video recording with the selfie camera on this Asus was really really bad whereas it was really good on the m20 and also the m20 actually has that wide angle lens which is simply not present on the Asus zenfone max Pro and I hope in the future other mid-range manufacturers also implement that fine angle lens but anyways if we talk about the overall camera comparison I would say clearly the zenfone max Pro m2 goes ahead anyways guys I have already posted in-depth reviews for both the smartphone with their pros and cons I'll leave the link in the description area anyways guys that's it for now for this video and if you guys are
