Could someone please confirm or deny Samsung has it better because they included 10 times larger sensors, 20x better zoom, titanium since 2017 and hired BTS for their ads?

Since Apple sources their camera chips from Sony, the more relevant question is how Sony's flagship (the Xperia 5 V?) stacks up with its Sony IMX888 vs the Sony IMX803 in the apple. It used to be that Sony's flagship had a slightly better imaging sensor than the Apple flagship, but I don't think that's the case any more. At any rate, Android doesn't seem to provide an API that exposes log/raw-ish sensor data for video (although for stills, it's been there since 2015).


How could that possibly be confirmed or denied? If you’re not asking a question don’t use a question mark: just make your point.


> hired BTS for their ads

Hardly a selling point.

> titanium since 2017

Source?

> 10 times larger sensors

4 times (48mp vs 200mp), and zooming into the highest quality images produced by both cameras yields little difference.

This comment feels like grasping at straws. The iPhone and Samsung both have excellent cameras, and excel in different places. Camera comparisons by professional photographers show that much. In my non-professional opinion, samsung wins in some edge cases, but the iphone generally has a better colour profile and undeniably better video capabilities, but debating about minute differences in camera processing in a text only forum feels counter productive, especially when plenty of professional comparisons exist.
