Isocell is always weaker than exmor counterpart.
Exmor costs more and still Huawei, Apple, OnePlus, Google, Lg and HTC choose to use exmor as main camera.
Iphones 11 series does not use them like 7, 8, X and Xs.

The Samsung Image Sensor is as capable as the Sony ones, but its the Exynos processors, that have been slowly getting worse at Performance and Battery management. Samsung needs to push the Exynos to as few markets as possible, and mainly concentrate on the Snapdragon models.

AnonD-914443, 29 Feb 2020Then Exynos version of Samsung s10 doesn’t have camera 2api mode.Lol enabling camera2api is a 2 minute trick.
Besides, I am using Custom ROM, so everything was enabled out of the box.
The gcam may not work great for videos but it is superb for nighttime photos.
Some users have reported portrait mode not working, but I don't use that mode.
I use gcam for night time pics not for videos or anything else.

Exynos is not capable and not on same level as Snapdragon chips...
This time they'll loose coz more ppl know the poor performance of their Exynos and there's more noise...a lot of ppl are not buying this expensive Exynos $hit...
I'll rather import there US version or buy a Sony with SD865 then get this poor Exynos phone...
They are already reporting low pre-orders & guess whose fault is it...lol

Anonymous, 29 Feb 2020Saw Micheal fisher and other youtubers review the phone. All of them report great battery life... moreRhe amount of hate here would make people believe it's a terrible phone. It really isn't. It has a much larger battery, great 5G, much faster refresh rate and even better screen, much better onboard speakers, and a lot more. It isn't perfect, to be fair. But it definitely leads the Android pack, albeit by a margin.
The only 2 complaints, IMHO, are:
1. Price.
2. It's not the absolutely best smartphone camera ever produced.
The proce is definitely a lot, but it does bring huge improvements. Samsung should throw in better freebies or have a better exchange program.
About the Camera, well its improving. I agree that Samsung rushed it. They need to tweak the algorithms to go easy on the noide reduction, digital sharpening and improve shadow details during daytime a little bit. Hopefully, once the Camera firmware comes out, testing will let us know the real picture. Also, if the Exynos version isn't capable enough, they should try to push out the Snapdragon to way more markets.

That mean gcam unable to access raw photo of that device. So, gacm only can access processed jpeg file. JPEG Photo stacking means not so detailed photo.

Hello guys,
can you test how fast the card reader is? Does it support UHS-II cards at speeds above 100MB/s?
One big thing - it turns out that S20 Ultra is the first Samsung phone to support MicroSD card in addition to 2 SIM cards - one eSIM and one nanon SIM (You did not put this in your review)

Imagine having a $1350 smartphone with the standardized version of the Bright HMX which is HM1, be beaten by said experimental sensor found in Xiaomi phones like Mi 10 Pro and Mi Note 10 which costs more than half of the Ultra. See, Megapixels do matter 27MP > 12MP.
