With previous reviews of the phone’s camera, I’ll evenly distribute the details for each camera, focusing especially on the main camera. But with this flagship, I’ll move on from the previous 5x telephoto camera because this is the “ingredient” that makes the dish stand out.
Saying so doesn’t mean the Note20 Ultra’s main camera is bad, on the other hand, Samsung has built some credibility for its recent products in the ability to take pictures, but it’s the dramatic shift from the telephoto that has brought about. It changes my habits and inspires me to use it more. That is also the reason this article was made.
The mature camera with optical zoom
Remember that the Galaxy S20 Ultra was launched earlier this year with a Space Zoom function of up to 100x. In terms of technology, Samsung has created a highlight and made many other competitors distrustful over the years. With the new version of Note, this feature is still included but reduced to 50x. Why did Samsung make that decision? That was my question before lifting the camera and then removing all knots after each day of use.
The 100x hybrid zoom is not something we need in everyday life.
It is undeniable that the zoom feature is helping to change the game of smartphone photography, but pushing the zoom level too far makes the device more and more cumbersome and to be honest, not everyone needs the zoom level. . 100x.
The weight problem is solved in the Note20 Ultra: slim, compact and lighter.
However, still using the periscope design for the telephoto camera system, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra is significantly lighter than before, just 204g instead of 222g on the S series earlier this year. For me, weight is a very important factor in every photo session, it even decides if I want to take the camera with me when I go out shooting or not.
Like cameras, users’ needs are increasingly moving towards lighter and lighter light, especially for those who are often wandering around taking photos or doing a business profession, they also need a machine that is not too much large to be able to handle the operation. all day before wrist fatigue hits. And on smartphones, whenever I want to photograph on the street, I also want the device to be compact and lightweight for some convenience. So I am very happy that the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, despite bringing a lot of technology inside, even the S-Pen stylus, is still light enough.
Why do I choose the telephoto camera in most shots on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra?
The addition of a zoom solution in recent years has made the mobile photography experience more diverse, users no longer have to stick with a single large focal length camera, but has opened the door to other types photography. outside.
In the past, when I used a smartphone to take photos, I had a tendency to only take pictures of the street, or most of my friends and lovers portraits, but very little by touching the telephoto camera, but the Galaxy Note20 Ultra made me change.
With this flagship, I have a zoom lens that is 5 times the distance of a normal focal length, the quality still remains at a very good level with effective optical stabilization so that the image is sharp despite “No” the environment. it is bright or in low light.
Another point in favor of this Galaxy Note20 Ultra is that it combines a pair of phase and laser focus. With smartphones with large sensors, providing cutting-edge focusing solutions will help make the shooting experience smoother.
Due to these factors, I give this phone the opportunity to show, of course, it is also my opportunity to change my photography style, get closer to a different genre and not get bored. .
First shots with a telephoto camera. Not to say exaggeration, these are also the first photos on the Note that I experience, not a normal camera but also a telephoto camera and it is what it shows that made me decide to take the next shot. walking down the street later.
I have seen some people shoot with very long focal lengths, like 10x or 20x, and they think that the quality of smartphones cannot reach that range yet. It is right! But when you know where the product’s limitations are and where its strengths are, you know how to take advantage of and produce the best “shots” of photos without the need for extreme zoom.
For me, the 5x zoom is more than enough to “catch up”. Also, with the telephoto camera, little by little I realized that I can get to the moments that I sometimes miss. Since then, my view of everything, each scene also gradually changed.
How are the other cameras?
As I mentioned from the beginning, the main camera and the ultra-wide camera on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra are still very good, I personally think it’s better than the S20 Ultra I’ve used, at least in terms of lag. The previous Samsung smartphone that I appreciated for its ability to focus quickly, as well as the response almost immediately, meaning that as long as you press the shutter button, the machine has captured that moment.
But to the latest version of the S20 Ultra, I was a bit surprised by the latency that appeared. The estimated time from the moment I asked for the shot to the moment the camera captured the moment was sometimes close to 1 second and for a street photographer like me it was difficult to accept. Imagine taking a photo for your lover, a heartbeat from behind can also go from a good time to a bad time, and of course the result after that, everyone can guess.
Perhaps because Samsung has also realized this and fixed the error in the Note20 series, so since I switched to this model, almost the delay in taking pictures is gone and I also regularly use the device as a photography device. daily than before.
In addition, with the 108 MP sensor, users can also get more detailed photos, cropping is also more comfortable than the previous Note series. The wide-angle camera is also a great option for those who like landscape photography and features like Scene Optimizer or Shot Suggestions will help “novice” users capture beautiful angles without needing to worry too much.
Overall, in terms of experience and ease of use, Samsung has been doing well, arguably the best in the Android smartphone village.
