64MP blind camera comparison: Samsung Galaxy M31 vs Redmi Note 8 Pro

Quad camera smartphones are no longer a novelty enjoyed by mid-range and high-end smartphones as four sensors can very well be seen on affordable handsets now. 
With Samsung launching the Galaxy M31 with a class-leading 64MP quad camera experience, we thought the time is perfect to test it out and compare the results with the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Both
ship with four cameras on their rear surfaces. The four sensors serve the same purpose on both the devices: the main snapper captures regular wide-angle photos, a secondary shooter offering ultra-wide-angle shots, and the other two sensors shoot macro and portrait shots.
When it comes to the main camera, the Samsung Galaxy M31 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro carry 64MP sensors. As for front cameras, the Samsung device offers an impressive 32MP unit, with the other offers relatively lower resolution at 20MP. Since they are priced similarly, you must be wondering which one among them is able to take the best photographs. As always, we're going to let you decide that. Take this blind test and vote for the images that you think are the best ones among the lot. You can come back a few days later to know which of the two phones came out on the top.
P.S. All the photographs have been shot in the 4:3 aspect ratio. And these images have been resized for the web, but you can view them in their full resolutions

Shot 1

For the first shot, we wanted to test the main 64MP cameras of the two phones, so we chose a simple setting that includes a gate and some trees, with two buildings in the background. This can really show how well the cameras are able to handle highlights and shadows. The way the leaves on the trees have been captured can also give you an idea of how well these cameras maintain details.

Shot 2

Macro cameras allow you to get incredibly close to your subjects to capture minute details, and that's exactly what we've done in this test. The point of focus chosen by us is at the centre of the flower, so if said area is not in focus, the problem is with the focusing ability of the phone's macro camera.

Shot 3

Capturing closeups of subjects like flowers is a great test to see how colour accuracy and details are handled by the cameras. This yellow flower seems to change its colour in the two images, so choosing among them will define the kind of colour your eyes like the most. Note that this is not a shot captured with the macro cameras of these phones.

Shot 4

The fourth shot is a long shot captured in auto mode to showcase how well the cameras are able to focus on objects in the distance. The results show you the dynamic range of these cameras, and also their ability to capture details and sharpness. And this image also shows you how the two phones change their colour temperatures based on their default white balance settings.

This scenario helps us put the depth sensors of these phones to test. It's very important that they separate the background from the foreground efficiently, so you don't end up with some minute areas from the foreground also getting blurred. The best way to judge the portrait modes is by looking at how the hair strands are separated
Shot 6
Here are two night-time shots captured by our competing smartphones. A good lowlight image is characterised by its ability to capture details, while also avoiding noise. It's also important that highlights aren't blown out in such shots.

Samsung Galaxy A41 announced with 6.1" OLED, vastly improved triple camera

The Samsung Galaxy A41 was seen in  multiple   leaks  earlier this year and now makes its official debut in Japan. It's a preliminary announcement rather since the Galaxy A41 is only scheduled to hit the shelves in June 2020. The Galaxy A41 brings notable improvements over the  Galaxy A40  starting with the larger 6.1" FHD+ Super AMOLED display. It still has a water waterdrop notch with a 25MP selfie camera, but there's now a fingerprint sensor underneath as opposed to around the back. The main camera setup uses a single vertical roll as opposed to the rectangular plates of most recent A-series phones. It's a major jump forward too, having a 48MP main shooter alongside an 8MP ultrawide snapper and 5MP depth helper. The Helio P65 chipset sits at the helm paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The phone is powered by a 3,500mAh battery with support for 15W charging speeds. The A41 also gains IP68 dust and water resistance and will presumably launch with An...

Weekly poll: Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro bring the S865, skimp on zoom - was that a mistake?

The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 was an odd duck but its chipset of choice left many wanting. The new Mi 10 duo is both larger and more powerful than Note and it’s usually the other way around . The Xiaomi mi 10 brings the Snapdragon 865 chipset, the performance of which is a class above the S730G found in the Note phone. It also enables 5G connectivity, which is becoming increasingly important as carriers have already covered major metropolitan areas around the world. The upgrade to UFS 3.0 storage (from 2.0) will be tangible as well. The screen got a major boost - a 6.67” panel, up from 6.39” of the Mi 9 and 6.47” of the Mi Note 10. Better yet, this is the first Mi-series phone to boast a high refresh rate screen – 90Hz (though the Redmi lineup already has a 120Hz phone). Xiaomi equipped the Mi 10 with the 108MP sensor that Samsung designed for it. Thanks to the chipset upgrade, it’s capable of recording 8K video as well as 4K at 60fps. One major downside of the new flagship is ...
