So, in the first test, we used a tripod to take the best possible shots on a the ‘Space Zoom’ setting. While shooting, we noticed New York City taxis whizzing by us on Park Avenue were creating tiny vibrations that affected the zoom.

But really, we wanted to see what the camera was like while shooting handheld, because people will naturally use it that way. Here are our samples – this time from zoomed-in to zoomed-out.

Congratulations, you’ve reached the end of our Samsung Galaxy S20 camera test – so far. We’re going to be adding more photos and comparison shots over the weekend in order to determine whether or not the S20 Ultra has the best camera on any smartphone and, if it is better, by how much?
