Do you think it's an unequal fight? Not quite. Both models are presented as the best of the manufacturer's flagships in a more affordable design. Both smartphones offer a certain relief from the flagships of the portfolio, but at the same time bring some of their important functions. So we compared how you are iPhone SE 3rd generation stands against Galaxy S21 FE.
TIP: We don't always have to compare just photos. Sometimes it's not even a comparison of bank and non-bank loans if you just need money. Loans because they are definitely not evil if you can choose them correctly.
When we look at the camera specifications of both models of the biggest rivals in the field of mobile phones, it is quite obvious on paper who has the upper hand here. iPhone The SE 3rd generation only has a single optically stabilized 12MPx wide-angle camera with an aperture of f/1,8. However, thanks to the integration of the A15 Bionic chip, it also offers Deep Fusion technology, Smart HDR 4 for photos or Photo styles. With the exception of styles that only play with colors according to your taste, it must be admitted that the other functions really try and in ideal lighting conditions, even this 5-year-old technology can take great-looking photos.
Zoom range Galaxy S21 FE – 0,5, 1, 3, 5, 30x
Galaxy S21 FE 5G has a triple camera, where there are 12MPx wide-angle sf/1,8, 12MPx ultra-wide-angle lens sf/2,2 and 8MPx telephoto lens with triple zoom af/2,4. The iPhone's front camera is only 7MPx sf/2,2, though Galaxy it immediately provides a 32 MPx camera located in the aperture of the display with f/2,2. It's true that iPhone thanks to the new chip, it also offers new software options, even so it simply lags behind the hardware ones. Its digital zoom is five times, Galaxy The S21 FE also provides a 30x digital zoom thanks to the telephoto lens.

Below you can see a comparison of the images when the ones on the left were taken iPhonem SE 3rd generation and those on the right Galaxy S21 FE. The standard scene is always taken with a 12MP wide-angle camera, which, as mentioned above, has the same f/1,8 aperture in both cases. However, for the needs of the website, the photos are reduced and compressed, you will find their full size <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>. For an ideal comparison, we recommend downloading the photos and comparing them on a computer.
Is it just me or does the SE3 have significantly more accurate colors?
SEčko is a clear winner. Samsung unrealistic pastel colors. Samsung will only buy a total moron.
But buying the latest iPhone SE is a brilliant choice….
Certainly not bright... The SE takes pictures of colors simply as they are, whereas the Samsung adds a lot of warmth to the colors in the post process. And don't be mad at me about approaching them iPhone corpse compared to the Samsung, and the Samsung is also much better at distinguishing individual branches and has better ambient detail. S21 is mainly the flagship series from 2021 while SE3 is mid 2022
But it's sharp at macro iPhone better, however, the absence of a night mode must also be taken into account.
What will the apple seller not say just to stand up for Apple. 🙄 Clear winner in what universe? Photos from the SE are blurry, and that's not to mention how their quality degrades in lower light. Where is the dog's eye? Did the Samsung take the photo at noon and the SE in the early evening? On AndroidThere is nothing easier than uploading an unofficial ROM to your phone, downloading GCam and setting the colors as you like in the camera settings. Some prefer natural, others like it warmer. I'm not standing here Android or Apple, but these frog wars, which is better, are completely ridiculous in this case. Samsung obviously has a far better camera and only a fool would say otherwise because “Apple“…. 🙄
And so that we don't just have fun here on a theoretical level, here are the objective parameters: Apple uses an antediluvian 1/3 size sensor on the SE, while the Samsung uses a large 1/76 sensor. The pixel size of the SE is 1,20um and Samsung 1,8um. The size of the pixel on the sensor is decisive for the quality of the photo. A small pixel for a small sensor. The larger the pixel, the more light it can hold and the better quality and brighter the photo. A 1/3 size sensor will receive about as much light as escapes from a black hole. This cannot be saved with software, but as far as the colors are concerned, the effort is here Apple to save, it is a software issue that can be solved by an ordinary layman with instructions at Samsung.
Yes, you mention sensor size and pixel size nicely here. But that would be true for an identical phone with identical software. As we all know very well, nowadays it's all about "computation photography", where the processor does most of the work. And as we know, the 15 Bionic doesn't even reach the ankles on a Snap 888. If the SE had the same camera as the FE, it would be completely outclassed in photography. For me personally, daylight photos are better on the SE, when it gets dark, the FE starts to excel.
The article compares the cameras of these two models. If we start pulling the processor into it, we can also look at other hardware components, but only on the sidelines. I can't help but agree with you that the A15 is better than the SD888, but that the SD wouldn't even reach its ankles is very far from reality. Apple it is able to do even with such an old sensor thanks to the system iOS decent photos, none about that, but it would do the same under software Apple and SD888. You're overestimating the processor's performance here, as evidenced by a comparison of photos of SE '20 and '22 models. If you put a Ferrari engine in a trabanto (hypothetically, of course), you probably won't be able to use its full potential, and it's exactly the same with the SE with the A15 processor. The latter should mainly have promised to improve the quality of night photos using deep fusion technology (not day photos), but it is also not doing very well. As for daytime photos, there is practically no difference between the 2020 and 2022 models. No post-processing will artificially drive light onto the sensor and small pixels (and in iPhone really delicate) will always come at the expense of the quality of the photo. The software and the processor can do something about it, but it can't perform miracles. If the SE had the same camera as the FE, it still remains, as you rightly said, only one big IF. In reality, we're only dealing here with an insult to the apple-picker's pettiness, but unfortunately, even a master carpenter gets cut sometimes, just like now Apple. You yourself write that you use third-party applications to take photos. In the same way, it is enough to upload GCam to the Samsung and the quality of the photos will be completely beyond the capabilities of the SE.
Therefore iphone every intelligent person who understands photography will buy it... you can simply download the camera port from google pixel Gcam to Samsung, then apart from the resolution it is better than iphone even in colors and dyne range...
I don't know, I "hate" both companies. However, it seems to me that SE3 clearly has better photos even with worse hardware... There is no comparison with iPhonem 13?
Here's a comparison with the 13 Pro Max: https://www.letemsvetemapplem.eu/2022/03/26/podivejte-se-jak-foti-iphone-se-3-generace-proti-iphonu-13-pro-max/
I own Galaxy S21 FE and I owned i Galaxy S21+ and photos had an exclusive. When it comes to taking photos in minimal light conditions, the Samsung does great, and I've also seen evening photos with is Iphonem 13 a Apple he already has big enough problems with the fading light. So SE 3 will be completely screwed.
It will because it doesn't have a night mode.
iPhone it does not have a manual setting because Apple knows exactly what and how you want to photograph ‼️👎
What's the problem when 99% of the photos are absolutely great even without settings. And if I want to play with photos, there are countless great photo apps for a few bucks, where you can of course set the ISO and everything. Personally, I often shoot in ProRAW, where I edit the photos to my liking in Photoshop.
For example "ProCamera". For the price of one lunch and two beers, I have an absolutely bombastic application where I can set whatever I want at will. And this app takes the camera to a completely different level. I take quite a lot of photos, but 95% of the time I get by with the native app and sometimes I use ProCamera for bee specs or I shoot in ProRAW.
