Samsung Galaxy S10 Takes Better Photos Than iPhone XS, Thanks To Its Ultrawide Camera

When the ability to take photos of the iPhone XS and the Samsung Galaxy S10 were put on a scale, users will notice not much of a difference between them. However, as the S10 allows users to take ultrawide photos, it is one feature more advanced than the XS.

When we put the ultrawide camera aside, they both take incredible photos. Let’s see one taken by the S10:

Here is the same landscape taken by the XS. When it comes to quality, the difference is minor.

Both the XS and the S10 sport 2x zoomed lens. Below is what the S10’s lens can do in real life. We can see that it is just a bit better than that of the XS:

Here is what the XS can do with the 2x zoomed lens. The photo is still decent so there is no problem here.

Below is a photo taken by the S10 when 10x zooming is in place.

Here is what the XS can do with the 10x zoom on.

For those who want to have bright and detailed photos, the S10 fits the bill. However, if brightness is not an important feature but you focus more on the depth, the XS is the way to go.

Other than that, most photos taken by the S10 and the XS look quite alike. Let’s see one with the S10:

One minor downer of the S10 is that it sometimes saturate too much on blue.

This is what the XS produces.

When we move on to the ultrawide camera, this is where the imparity becomes clearer.

Here is what the XS took with a weird dark area.

Below is the S10’s ultrawide camera in action:

So in short, the S10 and the XS take photos with similar quality. The only difference is the ultrawide camera.

With the examples given above, it is clear that an ultrawide camera is not just a fancy-looking feature but a real handy one that allows users to add more of the surrounding into the photos.

If Apple really wants to stand as head and shoulders above the competition, it should pay more attention to the camera.
