Expectations ran high last week when DXOMark revealed it would release its review of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra camera this week. Indeed, the organisation has published the Galaxy S20 Ultra camera review on its website and it is a disappointing one. The Samsung flagship was nowhere near the Huawei P40 Pro in ranking but came ain’t a distant sixth position.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra was launched in March and since then te Korean tech giant has released a couple of firmware updates aimed at improving the camera’s performance. That obviously didn’t make much of a difference as the camera is ranked behind the Huawei P40 Pro, Honor 30 Pro+, Oppo Find X2 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G.
The review isn’t all negative as the Samsung flagship’s camera still excelled in some aspects. It scored a very high 132 for its photos but was let down by its 102 video score for a total camera result of 122, which puts it in joint sixth place along with the Honor V30 Pro.
DxOMark also extols the Galaxy S20 Ultra’s lively colours, wide dynamic range and tout it as having nearly the best noise control in the industry. The S20 Ultra’s ultrawide camera was adjudged to be class-leading. The device, however, faltered in the performance of its autofocus in low light. This is said to be slower than the competition. The dynamic range wasn’t as good as that of the P40 Pro even though it was wide. Also, the sharpness was slightly behind that of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro which outputs higher-res 25MP images). Further, the zoom shots were noted to have some artefacts.
