Asus Zenfone 6 vs. Samsung Galaxy A80

02 August 2019


Sort by:

Again, if one sees the night photos, the Samsung bumps up its ISOs higher than the Zenphone, despite having slower shutter speeds. And HDR seems not to be engaged in the A80 at night.

Curiously, the A80 has a 12MP (4000x3000) resolution for night photos, whereas the Samsung has a 12.19M0 (4032x3024) for night photos, which means the Samsung is not engaging its EIS for night photos (and this is unable to use its HDR mode for night photos. The algorithms are created by programmers who were probably drunk when they made them.

    The Zenfone and A80 have an f2.8 and an f2 aperture, respectively, which makes the Zenfone brighter by 1/3rd of a stop. But, the Samsung, for some curious reason, is using neatly double the shutter speed, for many shots, thereby Unnecessarily using a higher ISO. If Samsung can fix this via a firmware, and try and keep daytime ISO between 25 and 40, it could have way better dynamic range and details (except perhaps the corners).

    Also, curiously the supposedly Zenphone's 12MP photos are of 4224x3136 (13.24MP) resolution and the A80's are of 3264x2448 (7.99MP) resolution. Which means the Samsung, for come curious reason is cropping into the photos (for digital image stabilization?). The crop along with the higher ISOs is a bad idea.

                                  Zenfone is better compared to Samsung as it offers a premium tier processor and has full view display with flip camera plus a almost stock android experience

                                    Seriously? This is not even a contest. Asus Zenfone wins by miles. Pricing, performance, battery, camera, reliability. Yes, realibility. A80 rotated camera reportedly stuck & has to manually rotate.

                                      Thanks a lot for such a detailed comparison. I was actually searching for content comparing the two phones' cameras.

                                        "One of the greatest advantages of the Zenfone's way of doing the flippy thing is that the camera can be stopped in any position along its 180-degree range, not just 0 and 180, like the Galaxy."
