Quick follow up to my previous answer about SOT. Performed a factory reset and did not restore my Samsung backup. I got 19% left with 9h and 15 minutes of SOT. So I'm pretty happy now. The battery is no longer an issue.?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] minealex2244:
I really don't know what your talking about. Maybe you've got a clone or whatever. My S20+ Exynos has no problems with the camera. The colors are great, HDR the same (you can adjust the brightness if you want), the details are great and... everything is just great. After the last update I have noticed even more improvements. 64 MP is perfect for daylight and not for low light as the pixels are not that large compared to the 12 MP sensor's pixels. Also we all are early adopters. A little patience for the optimised firmware won't be a bad idea ;) I'm coming from the S9 and I can definitely see a difference on quality and I like the S20+ camera.

Btw, the night mode works great for me ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] arsenal74:
If you shooting static subjects in good light then you will have no complaints, this is all most reviewers do and is why AF issues aside most have praised the S20s camera.

My issue is that in real-world use with non-static subjects it is pretty terrible just as the S10 was, I am not talking action shots here just anything not totally static. I think Samsung just chooses to push their luck with shutter speed to keep ISO low and in theory image quality high but in reality (for me at least) it does not work out like that. Maybe the Exynos is at play here too as we also know that the Snapdragon has different camera hardware this year too.

I am Exynos so my GCAM options are limited but I did get a good one on the S10 but nothing on the S20 yet.

It might be impossible to fix this one Galaxy S20 Ultra autofocus issue

The Galaxy S20 Ultra’s ambitious camera system has been marred by autofocus issues ever since it was released, and while the company has largely addressed this with early firmware updates, one particular issue might not be as easy to fix.

Taking photos of close objects with the Galaxy S20 Ultra can lead to mixed results, and in the worst case scenarios, the camera fails to autofocus, leading to blurry shots. A Samsung moderator on Samsung members recently talked about this problem in a post on the Korean forums and revealed that it might not be possible to fix it with a firmware update.

The focal length is determined by the lens specifications

According to the Samsung moderator, the increased size of the S20 Ultra’s sensor results in a shallow depth of field and longer focal length of 10cm or more, therefore, it may fail to focus when photographing objects up-close. More importantly, because the focal length is determined by the lens specifications, this shortcoming is difficult to correct with software.

In other words, autofocus should no longer be an issue for the Galaxy S20 Ultra in general applications, but loss of focus can still occur at close range due to the focal length being longer than usual (the Galaxy S20 and S20+ have a slightly shorter focal length as they use a different main camera sensor). Basically, it’s a physical characteristic of the Galaxy S20 Ultra’s 108MP camera that owners of the device will have to live with.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
It was pretty much known from the very beginning that due to "physics", the focusing issues will not be entirely fixed in the Ultra. MKBHD, before anyone else, explained it back in the day in his S20 Ultra review.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] taranfx:
You're wrong friend. Focusing tech isnt a limitation. e.g. Mi Note 10 Pro has older generation of this sensor with same phase-detect focus and has no focus issues at all.

Its a matter of software maturing for a new sensor. I can bet focus issues will be gone before Note 10 launches.

Given the covid situation, software updates have been lacking.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] UNIK97122:
One more time,: samsung don't talk about autofocus there, but only close subject like macro shot, this phone doen't have macro mode or macro lens inside that's all.

no deal with autofocus issues in samsung note
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] vash_h:
Those that complaint about over saturation should check their display settings of the phone. Switch it to natural mode.

Its not the camera but the display over saturating the photo.

You can transfer the photo to pc to have a closer look to confirm this.

Ever since I switched from vivid to natural, the photos is ok.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
I'm talking about "focusing" and not about HM1 vs HMX at all.

To enlighten only you, both the phones have an ARRAY of CAMERAS and they are different. Since they are different, the focusing arrangements are also different in them. When you look closely, you will understand Mi Note 10 Pro/10 Pro has an edge over the Ultra in the "focusing" part.

Hint: "Dual Pixel" PDAF vs Single PDAF,

Laser AF+PDAF vs PDAF.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] AlvinZahran98:
Just got a new ATD3 update. This might be the one update we're waiting for along with ATD5. Not a placebo at all, this thing legit improves the camera and performance (including fingerprint scanner) by a lot. The rest, including battery life is similar.

The autofocus is finally accurate (faster but not jumpy, in contrary to the older firmwares). It seems like the main cam cropped a bit more from the sensor (I don't know why as I captured it at the same exact angle), captured them with tap to focus but the old one seems much more blurry. With the new firmware, I don't even have to tap to focus on the subject as it does it automatically, unlike before.

The snapdragon 865 ultra on the other hand is just about the best phone you can get currently if the camera improves a tad. HDR is still underwhelming.

The exynos definitely takes better photos than the snapdragon model. Much more natural and less digital sharpening
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] arsenal74:
Of course it has a fast shutter, the issue is that the Samsung software invariably chooses a slower one so it can keep the ISO down, which in theory results in better quality. Personally I'd prefer a little grain so that pictures of my kids or pets do not turn out a blur-fest. This is not new btw, issue was there on the S9 and S10.

The real issue is that Samsung are WAY behind Google and Apple with computational photography.

I recently tried to record a 8k video and it all came down as a grainy video. It was shot early morning before sunrise and there was light from the streets, but it all turned out really grainy. Anyone tried 8k video?

And I think the zoom quality is exaggerated, not so good at native 4x zoom too.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] arsenal74:
The photos attached/linked above look good but I do not think that still subjects like this are the problem (other than the big sensor and fixed aperture giving quite a shallow DOF for landscapes)

It is indoor stuff in mixed light or where there is movement e.g. photos of your kids or pets. Attached is an example of 2 images taken today about 5 minutes apart, one is from the Ultra and the other the Pixel 4XL, there really is no comparison. The issues with the ultra are as much about focus as they are the overall image quality though.

I have owned all flagships of the last 4 years or so, Pixels, Mi', S series, IPhones, and everything else. S20 with the 64MP mode, destroys all other phones, EXTREMLY natural looking and super sharp photos, almost no oversharpening at all, you just need good light, where Pixel wins is into night mode, and regular 12MP photos.

And please before you accuse me of something, address the comment i made NOBODY said anything about the front cameras, night mode, videos, stabilisation, HDR, portraits or anything, i was talking about the 64MP picture quality, in daylight.

Max Weinbach, in his long term usage review, summarises the Ultra's camera performance with this:

"The overall camera situation the Galaxy S20 Ultra is in a weird spot. The camera is very good in certain scenarios, but it isn’t in several others. This makes it a hard phone to recommend specifically for its camera, even though that’s what Samsung want’s you to buy the phone for. For a device with a giant camera array and the camera being what Samsung is mainly showing in its marketing material, it’s really not living up to that hype. Samsung might want to switch the marketing material to show off more of that gorgeous display instead of that camera bump and do the actual talking points more justice."

ATE6 really improved focusing (especially autofocus) by a huge margin. About close-up zoom though, we can do that just by zooming the phone for 2x (it’s basically the same thing). I heard that with the latest update, the ToF sensor is used for focusing, so that’s what makes a huge difference to this firmware compared to the old ones (especially those horrible ATBM/ATCH/ATCT, with numerous of big issues beyond the camera).

what is not good in your example is that you use the mode 108 mega pixel which for the moment does not profit from post processing (WB,HDR...)it is practically an image in raw format and it is necessary to use it only under particular conditions of brightness. to see the benefit you must use the normal mode in the case the photos are the 12 mega pixel for the ultra,

so yes you are right the S10 + produces better photos than the 108 MP under certain conditions but
