Both the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and the Google Pixel 3 XL take great shots that anyone would be happy with - it comes down to what you value.
- Samsung's new Galaxy S10 takes excellent photos, but so does the Google Pixel 3, which has one of the best smartphone cameras of all time.
- Each phone's camera does certain things better than the other.
- Flick through the photos below to see which phone takes photos you prefer to make the choice that's right for you.
As any self-respecting tech journalist does, I took photos with the new Samsung Galaxy S10 to compare them to the greatest smartphone camera of all time: the Pixel 3.
As I took more and more photos with each phone, I started to realize that this couldn't be a battle of which phone takes the best photos. They both take excellent photos, but each phone has different styles, and they each do certain things better than the other.
Google's style is to give you contrast-y, natural photos that have a lot of depth, even if it means you don't see every detail in darker areas. Samsung's style is to brighten up the darker areas so that you can see pretty much every detail, which sounds great, but it can lead to a flat-looking photo.
Of note: I'm using the Pixel 3 XL and Galaxy S10 Plus for this comparison. The XL and the standard-size Pixel 3 have the exact same camera set-up; the S10 Plus and standard S10 have the same rear camera, but the S10 Plus has one extra selfie lens.
