With Google and Apple dominate in the field of mobile photography for several years now, and Huawei is increasingly preparing to join the selected club, it was clear Samsung needs to do something to avoid that the gap between its star devices and those of a race depending on the quality of the images continues to open from year to year. And that something Name and surname: Galaxy S20 Ultra.
Introduced into Unpacked 2020 with the Galaxy S20 and S20 +, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is a high-quality, high-quality and expensive model of the three species that make up this family. It is also a tool that introduces i big new in terms of photos what we have seen so far with the product line.
But whatready to compete with Pixel 4, iPhone 11 Pro, Huawei Mate 30 other reference models in this field? While it's still a bit to decide, now that this device is already official, at least we can review all news and features introducing its updated photographic system.
108 megapixels per flag and "spatial" zoom
For months we knew that Samsung intends to make a 108-megapixel smartphone
Leading its program for most rear cameras, is The megapixel f / 1.8 megapixel sensor the company introduced a few months ago, similar to what we had seen on the Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha and Mi Note 10. Nearby we found a 12 megapixel super wide-angle camera f / 2.2, a "telephoto" of 48 f / 3.5 megapixels, and finally a camera ToF The vision
Thanks to this great sensor, Samsung guarantees the device will be able to capture photos full of details even in the squares with less light. To do this, it requires the benefit of cncepto based on the same principles and program Pixel binning what the company calls it fat binning, allows merge into nine pixel groups to produce 12 megapixels.
One of the best features of a "telephoto" sensor is 48 megapixels, using a the lens system provides the possibility get caught with a hybrid zoom – apparently – no loss up to 10x by combining a "telephoto" image with a large sensor, with up to 100 digital zoom – or similar, fitted with a 10-zoom digital zoom in a hybrid extension -. However, the optical power according to Optical zoom is limited 4 is increasing.
The front sensor also goes up to increase the resolution to 40 megapixels in relation to the 10 Galaxy S20 and S20 +. Of course, there is no shortage of functions like "portrait mode" or "AR Emoji".
The "Super Stable" mode dies on the Galaxy S10 Lite
Samsung released its program Super Steady OIS alongside the Galaxy S10 Lite introduced earlier this year. Stability technology, with data collected by gyroscope and other phone sensors, it allows to compensate for the mobile tendency by varying the position of the camera element elements, for the purpose of reducing motion and vibration when taking photos or recording a video.
And speaking of video, the Global S20 Ultra, like its younger siblings, is capable capture video with 8K resolution and 24 FPS, to download later on YouTube or play on Samsung 8K TV.
Single Take with the best night photos, aces under the S20 Ultra bag
One of the most interesting things introduced on the Galaxy S20 Ultra camera, at least on paper, is what it's called Take one. Once activated, the Galaxy S20 Ultra will capture many photos and videos using different sensors at the same time, and using methods such as live blurto cut too wide and more Once the takeover is complete, the systems are trained by machine learning integrated into device camera software they will recommend the best capture
On the other hand, combining the power of a 108 megapixel sensor, with a new system called "Super ISO", night mode for the Galaxy S20 Ultra night it promises to meet methods night vision from Google or Huawei night mode. To do this, they will be captured until 30 different pictures which will later be combined with the final image.
In short It is clear that the Galaxy S20 Ultra camera is of pre-eminence in relation to previous generations of this proverb. In fact, Samsung itself confirms that skipping based on the quality of the images is one of the reasons why you decided to license these phones as the Glass S20 and not the Global S11. But as always, soon will come the time of truth, and we will explore if all these numbers really translate into a great photographic experience seen on mobile so far.
