Photo comparison: a mobile twice as expensive beats the iPhone 13 Pro

In a new video, American YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) compared the photo sensors of several flagship smartphones marketed at the end of 2021. To do this, the director took photos which he then submitted to a vote by the public (several million subscribers) in order to find out which were the most successful. All blindly, and therefore without revealing which image was captured by which device.

Among the models that are doing the best, we note that the Asus ROG 5 is preferred to theGalaxy S21 Ultra. Proof of this is that the quantity of megapixels on the rear is therefore not the only indicator of performance, given that the Taiwanese phone offers three lenses of 64, 13 and 5 MPx against 108, 10, 10 and 12 MPx for the Korean. On the front, the selfie cameras offer 24 and 40 MPx respectively with f/2.5 and f/2.2 aperture.

Realme at the top of the basket

Surprisingly, the Realme GT is also rated as more efficient than the Zenfone 8, Poco X3 GT and Microsoft's Surface Duo 2. Remember that the latter, which has a large foldable screen, still has a wide-angle of twenty-seven millimeters as well as an ultra-wide-angle of thirteen millimeters and a telephoto lens of fifty-one millimeters. It runs Android 11, powered by a Snapdragon 888 5G processor engraved in five nanometers.

What is the iPhone 13 Pro worth in photos?

Finally, let's talk about the iPhone 13 Pro. Apple's high-end laptop, faced in this comparison with the Motorola Edge and the Pixel 5a, certainly wins against the Lenovo subsidiary but remains behind Google.

With three 12 MPx lenses on the back, the iPhone 13 Pro is also equipped with a LiDAR radar and offers Cinematic mode for shooting videos with intelligent autofocus. It can also record in ProRES, a file format signed by Apple and favored by professionals. Demonstration videos have already allowed us to see the prowess of the iPhone 13 Pro,to be found right here.

As for the Pixel 5a, it has the advantage of being approximately twice as affordable. Its photo block includes a 12.2 MPX sensor at the rear coupled with a 16 MPx ultra wide-angle, for a second wide-angle at the front with a diameter of twenty-four millimeters and an f/2.0 aperture .
