"the iPhone can record with all of them at the same time."
Please tell me the iPhone can record video from all three cameras at 4k60p, like you claim.

"Another aspect of its size is that all other things being equal, larger sensors will offer a shallower depth of field, which is desirable for subject isolation."
No. If all other independent things are equal, then a larger sensor will give you a wider field of view and will give you less visible background blur!

Though Google's white balance is really bad. The Pixel 3a has a worse white balance than the Google Nexus 5x. The white priority white balance of the Canon M50 is much better, too.

That's one of the ugliest handsets I've ever seen. Calling it the S20 instead of the S11 was also a bad idea and ruins what's been a consistent naming sequence from the Galaxy S brand. Samsung is stealing all of Apple's bad ideas.

Stock app for video and daylight photos, slow motion etc.
Gcam for night pictures.
Snap camera for manual mode/more deeper setting menu compared to stock app.

Even pixel beats the RX100 in image quality.
Compact digital cameras are outdated and being taken over by flagship smartphones.
If you really want better picture quality, a mirroless camera or Dslr would be a better pick.

Only thing I don't like about the s20 ultra is the no headphone jack. Yeah it is a bit pricey, but so is everything else as time goes by, its life, get over it.
Some people want to complain saying we don't need 16 g of ram, or the 120 refresh rate. Well I'm a gamer, I don't have a TV at home so I watch movies and play games on my phone so I welcome it and would like more.
So far everything that people complained about this phone is very petty, this phone beats apple in all kinds of ways. You petty complainers should complain about something important.

RX 100 series still having 1 inch sized sensor for its 7th edition unlike mobile phones having many flexibility. Due to lack of in built software, dedicated cameras depend more on the skills in post processing, additional software tools etc for very simple tasks (portrait, stage lighting). For an average Joe there are too many hassles to put the output into consumption unlike mobiles which has most of them very nicely integrated and make your work immediately available for consumption. Now a days, no one is waiting for the professional photographers to printout the life events after many weeks of post processing!

AnonD-914443, 29 Feb 2020Sensor of galaxy s20 ultra is slightly small than 1 inches ... moreThere is a lot of factors playing here, first the pixel size differs: 20.1mp vs 108mp, just imagine how different their pixel sizes is. Next is surface area, the Sony RX100 M3 image sensor is 25% bigger than the S20 Ultra sensor: 1.0 inch vs 0.75 inch (1/1.33), I wouldn't call 25% difference 'slight'. The other factor is lens optical quality: plastic lens of mobile phones vs glass lens of dedicated cameras.

PeterThePanda, 29 Feb 2020So, Samsung's Exynos SoC is still inferior to SD? Not s... moreProbably, in those markets, Exynos helps by being cheapper for Samsung and making the device not to cost more that it would be if they use Snapdragon. You can't use the same price in every market becuase they have different costs.

Normal daylight images are still easily beaten by phones like the Pocophone or Mi9T, embarrassing situation. The way the x2 images are nice and sharp in the middle and rubbish elsewhere... well i don't know what to say about that. Samsung simply do not care at all about the genuine quality of their photography so long as it looks good downscaled on a high pixel density phone screen, which it does, but then so does my first gen Moto G. I'm simply baffled. It's hard to see this as anything other than catering to fools who don't care or aren't educated to know the difference. I say fools because why else would you spend such premium money on something so demonstrably bad?
The standard mode night shots are very nice so the hardware is capable. Night mode hugely increases the quality of the darker parts but processes the quality out of the the parts that looked good in the standard mode. Can't win!
You can stick with the full featured stock app with terrible quality or go with GCam and gain the quality back but lose half of the features. I'll continue complaining about this in the hope that it helps change things and, more importantly, that other manufacturers don't start doing the same.

Very expensive for what it offers, an exytek and a low resolution screen should not cost more than 700 euros, And the camera many tricks and poor quality
