Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition Camera Samples
Featured in this article

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, main camera. I love this shot. The sky isn't blown out, and the underside of the overpass isn't masked in darkness. It has good colors too.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, main camera with Night mode. This is a great shot for an area that's darker than it looks. I love the abundance of colors here, and things are mostly sharp. Compare this with the following Pixel 5 photo.

Google Pixel 5, main camera with Night Sight. The Pixel 5 brightens up the scene a little more without losing much contrast, and it's a hair sharper (though you have to zoom in to notice).

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, optical zoom camera. In bright, sunny conditions, the telephoto zoom camera is excellent. Even when you zoom in here, the image looks pristine, and the colors are fantastic.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu05Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, optical zoom camera. Here's another shot that just wouldn't look the same if I used the main camera. By zooming in, you get an effect that elongates the entire picture and makes the depth more visible. Zoom in and you'll see that this photo isn't the sharpest (this area was much darker than the previous photo), but I like the colors a lot.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu06Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, 10X zoom. The original S20 range used hybrid zoom tech to offer decent-looking photos at 10X zoom. The FE skips this feature. This image looks exactly as you'd expect a digitally zoomed-in photo to look.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu07Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, 10X zoom. The special zoom tech in the S20 range is the biggest noticeable difference with the FE. This shot is immensely more detailed.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu08Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, optical zoom camera. There's are some strange hues here, particularly toward the bottom center of the frame—Samsung has sapped out many of the shadows. But I otherwise like this shot. It's sharp.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu09Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, main camera with Night mode. This is a pretty good low-light shot. There's good separation between the colors, nothing looks muddy, and detail is admirable. Compare this with the following Pixel 5 photo.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu10Google Pixel 5, main camera with Night Sight. The Pixel brightens up the shot a bit more, and if you zoom in closely and compare, some details are slightly more legible.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu11Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, main camera. Here's where some colors can start to look a bit weird. It's usually when the phone is trying to manage high-contrast scenes. By decreasing the highlights in the sky, the blue looks strange and isn't at all similar to what it was in real life.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu12Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, main camera with Night mode. It was very, very dark in this room. If you stay as still as possible, you can get a pretty detailed low-light image like this.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu13Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, main camera with Night mode. A lot of detail can get washed away in night shots, though, and that's the case here if you look closely. Thankfully, it retains a lot of colors and doesn't look too grainy.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu14Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, selfie camera. This shot is OK. I only like it because of my derpy dog. But my dog's face isn't quite as detailed as I'd expect, considering the bright scene (the subway) we were in.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu15Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, Portrait mode. Samsung manages well with its Live Focus mode (portrait mode). The blur around the subject is mostly accurate, and the subject itself is well detailed with solid colors.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu16Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, ultrawide camera. The ultrawide cam is as handy as ever, letting you take in more of a scene than usual. The sky is a strange blue hue here—again, an effect of the camera trying to manage the high-contrast scene—but the colors are great, and detail is strong.
