There are limits to whaat a digital zoom can do, even when it's bolstered by a feature like GoogleS Super Res Zoom, which taps into software to sharpen up zoom shots. And because of its 123-degree field of view, the Galaxy S21 Ultra captures more of the background that the Pixel.īecause the Pixel 6 doesn't have a zoom, I can't really compare its photos to Samsung's zoomed in shots. (Note how the lines in the crosswalk seem to bend.)The colors are a little brighter for the Galaxy S21, particularly the yellows. Ultrawide cameras can add a fisheye effect to their shots, and that's especially evident in the Galaxy S21 FEW's ultrawide photo of that same church. But, really, the Galaxy S21 FE more than holds its own here. I also prefer the deeper shade of blue to how the Pixel 6 renders the sky. The S21 FE does a better job of keeping background buildings in focus (see that white building on the church's right) while you can make out more of the brickwork in the Pixel 6 photo.
Outdoors, there's no real difference between how the Galaxy S21 FE and Pixel 6 handled a photograph of a church from across the street. I prefer the warmer tones of the Pixel 6's photo, where the colors are still vibrant but you don't get the glare off the packaging seen in the Samsung photo. You'd be pleased with either shot from this vegetable stand, though the Galaxy S21 FE does pump up the colors to the point of nearly over-saturating the image. Thanks to Samsung's Space Zoom feature, you can zoom in 30x (though if you do, you should really use a tripod to get a stable shot.) There's also a dedicated 8MP telephoto lens that supports a 3x optical zoom. The Galaxy S21 FE combats that with 12MP wide and ultrawide cameras of its own, but brings another shooter to the mix.
