IPhone 12 Pro vs Galaxy Note 20 Cameras

Which of the latest smartphones has a better camera? The IPhone 12 Pro or The Galaxy Note 20?

iPhone 12 Pro's camera vs. Note 20 Ultra: Portraits, selfies, night mode and more.

The iPhone 12 Pro and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra have two of the best smartphone cameras out there. Let's see which is better for landscape photos, portraits, selfies, night mode and video.

The cameras on Apple's new iPhone 12 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 Ultra seem similar on paper. Both have a three-lens camera array with improved low-light performance, 4K HDR video capabilities and advanced autofocus systems. And while they both produce excellent results overall, they each have their strengths and weaknesses in different categories.

For zoom, it's hard to compete with the Note 20 Ultra's 5x telephoto camera, which can make any far-off subject look like it's right in front of you, especially when you compare it to the 2x camera on the iPhone 12 Pro. For portraits, the iPhone generally produces the better result thanks to more natural bokeh (or blur) effects. But choosing an outright winner across every category is not so clear cut, given that both use a clever combination of hardware and computational photography tricks to get great-looking shots in almost all situations.

We put the cameras on two of this year's best smartphones to the test to see how well they handle zoom photos, portraits, landscapes and video.

May is National Photography Month

May is “National Photo Month.”

OK, so what the heck does THAT mean???

Well, National Photo Month was created to…

“…help people get even more joy out of photography and their pictures.”

Yet there is a cautionary tale in all this. It is estimated that 657 BILLION (yeah, billion with a “B”) will be uploaded to social media this year alone – and that’s just what will be SHARED, not the total TAKEN.

The problem is that LESS THAN 1% of all these photographs and irreplaceable(!!!) memories will ever be printed, and within only a few years the rest will be LOST FOREVER (see below)!

Add to this the staggering number of old family snapshots currently moldering in attics and basements – even as you’re reading this – and the photographic loss becomes a TRAGEDY OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!

“Print & preserve your important photographs & snapshots – WHILE YOU STILL CAN!”
