Low-light photography - the ultra-wide is much better again We think both phones indeed use the same hardware, but Apple's processing took the wrong turn somewhere as it's losing some detail and shows warmer colors. So, the iPhone 12 Pro tele camera appears to be inferior to the 11 Pro's, even if it's by a tiny bit. We've used an iPhone 11 Pro Max to take the samples below, but rest assured, the image quality is identical to the 11 Pro, and all conclusions apply to both. We can't be sure if the new Smart HDR processing makes this on purpose, or the camera is simply a bit worse than the one on the previous model. We would need to zoom in to 100% magnification to see this difference.īut even if you look at the windows' reflections - the iPhone 11 Pro Max often captures more visible and detailed reflections than the iPhone 12 Pro. ![]() They are often a bit more detailed, especially in distant foliage or other high-frequency detail such as the decorative bricks on the castle. That's unlike the iPhone 12, which relies on its main camera for zooming, meaning it provides pure digital zoom.Īs you will see, both phones do a fairly good job shooting with their telephoto snappers, but surprisingly, the iPhone 11 Pro Max's photos turned out better. That's the same camera found on the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, sensor, lens, OIS, and all. The iPhone 12 Pro has a dedicated 12MP telephoto camera with 1/3.4" sensor and f/2.0 52mm lens. 2x zoom comparison - the newer model falls behind Indeed, the 12 Pro, even if it should be using the same camera with the same lens, offers better processing and overall better ultrawide images. The ultrawide photos coming from the new iPhone 12 Pro are identical to the ones from the 11 Pro at the center, but they are more detailed and sharper around the edges and it is easily visible. We observed the same difference with the colors of the ultrawide photos, though once again - this isn't an issue per se. Let's enjoy some ultrawide photos now, shall we? The color presentation aside, everything else is identical - resolved detail and mediocre foliage, excellent dynamic range and contrast. Yet, this look is purely subjective and easily fixable in Photos. The reality is that the iPhone 11 Pro shows them cooler, while the iPhone 12 Pro paints them warmer. None of the phones got the colors right if we have to be honest, as the weather conditions and sun position that day made for somewhat unusually warmer look on everything. ![]() There is only one difference between the two sets of photos - the ones coming from the iPhone 12 Pro are noticeably warmer than the iPhone 11 Pro's. So, here come the daylight camera samples. The next pair in this camera comparison is the new iPhone 12 Pro and the old iPhone 11 Pro (Max).
