If someone next to you put their back on the table iPhone 11 Pro Max a iPhone XS Max, you would hardly be able to find any differences. You would only see them after turning both phones over. iPhone 11 Pro (Max) has been improved by one lens compared to last year's model, so it has three lenses in total, the first of which is a classic wide-angle, the second is ultraa wide-angle lens and a third telephoto lens. But how big are the differences in the quality of photos from last year's and this year's iPhones?

Technical side
If you look at the theoretical side of the lenses of both devices, you can notice that the iPhone 11's photo system Pro (Max) is better in every way. The main wide-angle lens has a larger sensor that can capture more light, the telephoto lens now offers a larger f/2.0 aperture, and there's a new third lens called ultrawide-angle, with an aperture number of f/2.4. It is also important to note that the photo systems of this year's iPhones 11 Pro to 11 Pro Max are identical, just like last year's iPhone XS and XS Max Max. So in the photo test they are facing each other Max models, but the classic 5,8″ version would achieve the same results.
The practical side
As for the classic main wide-angle lens, you would be hard-pressed to find any differences – especially in photos taken in good lighting conditions. Only in some situations do photos from the iPhone 11 Pro Max they seem a bit sharper, along with richer colors. In some situations, photos even look better on last year's iPhone XS MaxPhoto quality could theoretically improve even more with the new iPhones with the arrival of the feature. Deep Fusion, which will be available in one of the next updates iOS 13. If about Deep Fusion If you're hearing this for the first time, it's a feature that uses machine learning to improve the processing of photos pixel by pixel, improving their texture, details, and any noise.
If we look at portrait mode, in most cases you probably wouldn't notice the difference. Object edge detection is practically the same on both devices, and if it fails in some cases iPhone XS Max, then it fails too iPhone 11 Pro MaxIn both cases, it is important to take portrait photos in good lighting conditions to ensure the best possible quality. iPhone 11 Pro Max However, compared to its predecessor, it offers the option of taking portrait photos through the classic wide-angle lens, so you don't have to use the telephoto lens. If you take photos through it, you will see better photo quality in poorer lighting conditions, thanks to the better f/2.0 aperture.
The main novelty is, of course, the third, ultrawide-angle lens. As you can guess from the name, you can use it to create photos with a wider field of view than in the case of the iPhone XS Max. Pro comparison, ultraThe wide-angle lens offers a focal length of 13 mm, the wide-angle lens offers a focal length of 26 mm, and the telephoto lens offers a focal length of 52 mm. With a focal length of 13 mm, it can ultrawide-angle lens to take perfect photos, especially of nature and architecture. Unfortunately, this new lens has an aperture of f/2.4, so it doesn't do very well with photos in low light conditions. At the same time, you would be looking in vain for optical image stabilization. The basis of a nice photo from ultraThe main advantage of a wide-angle lens is good light.
You can now shoot videos using all three cameras, and you can switch between all lenses with the press of a single button. The biggest difference between this year's and last year's phones is the night mode, which is completely new and you would be looking for it in vain on the iPhone XR and XS. Night mode in iPhonech 11 and 11 Pro (Max) works on the basis of machine learning, where when you press the shutter button, several different photos are created, which are combined into one perfect one. This preserves the night atmosphere and the photo looks natural. As you can see in the gallery, the photos taken using night mode are absolutely great and where it was dark in the case of last year's iPhones, the new iPhones 11 can Pro (Max) to take the perfect shot. The exposure time when shooting in night mode ranges from 1 to 10 seconds, so you have to be able to focus for this amount of time. iPhone hold it very steady, or you have to use a tripod. Night mode is only suitable for taking pictures of still objects, so forget about being able to capture, for example, a fast-moving animal at night.
The front camera was also improved in the new models. We went from last year's 7 megapixels to a full 12 megapixels and Apple The new front camera uses a new function Smart HDR (same as the rear cameras). In good lighting conditions you wouldn't notice much difference, you might just notice the wider field of view on the iPhone 11 Pro (Max). The new front camera can shoot 4K videos at 60 frames per second, along with slow-motion videos at 120 frames per second. These slow-motion videos Apple he called it Slofies, i.e. slow-motion selfies.

So the question is – should users of last year’s iPhones upgrade to the new model at all costs? Probably not. However, if we modify this question slightly and ask whether users of last year’s iPhones who enjoy photography and need better photo quality should upgrade to the new iPhones, then quite possibly yes. The photos from the new iPhones are truly amazing, especially those created with ultrawide-angle lens, or those taken using night mode.
What resolution do you record those photos in? That photo gallery is terrible. Comparing photos in those VGA windows is quite funny.
normal full hd = 640×480 ;D
I don't understand why everyone is comparing photos of the XS and 11 when they both have the same cameras (except for ultrawide and night mode)….
The main novelty is the third lens, otherwise everything (except the zoom aperture) is the same. Ultrawide anyway and Night mode is a software feature that I would apple could easily put it on xs. So, as a change to a new model, I think it's stupid and I'm happy to keep my xs. Just because it has 3D Touch, which I use a lot
The main "wide" camera is still f/1.8 (well, it could have been better this year...) and not 2.0. He jumped to this value from 2.4 telas (I applaud :)
Otherwise, it's a shame that the Cupertino comrades are so stubborn that they don't update Night Mode in the form of min. from 8 and up. No, but who would buy news with such "massive" year-to-year "upgrades", right?!
Even though Google is also quite a shameful bastard, new versions of Google Camera are always here for all Pixels!

Well, I'm disappointed... Try to take a picture of the road at night where there are lamps... Those reflections are misery. I don't know what it's called, but it sucks.
