I (Max) took all three of these phones and tested them over the last 2 week and I was surprised with what I found..
I took shots with every single lens from the selfie camera, to the main wide shooter, the ultrawide lens and some zoom shots as well.
I also tested Portrait shots, Night Mode shots and even Night Mode portrait shots to see which smartphone camera is the BEST in 2020.

I would say any option is good cause camera is great and the HDR Dolby Vision is so good when you make some editing. I'm uploading several test for that and couldn't been happier with the results. Love the Cinematic feel :D
Not for the camera, but for other reasons !
7:08 "The 12 Pro can't do portrait shot and night mode at the same time, the 12 Pro can." ????????
Is the first photo (0:22) so different because of how you focused the camera? I just ordered a iPhone 12 Pro mostly for sunset/sunrise photography but now you're making me think that I should've gone for the Pro Max...
iPhone 12 has the same quality for almost all shots except on night mode. So i think it’s worth buying,
When you say the picture looks terrible, bit honestly they are all so good 😅
i think all camera’s same. 😆
@@afriz5968 i think it depends on the angle and good lighting😅
When you spend huge amount of money on a phone, well good is not a word you would like to listen... 😁 it has to be excellent or exceptionally great.
Are you serious those cam from Ip12 standard is worst
Pros are not worth that extra amount actually
I must say, thanks for this! I was considering getting a 12 Pro Max for the upgraded camera, even though I hate the size of it, but now I've decided I'll just stick with the regular 12 Pro.
I tried both for a bit. You get used to the size, but you don’t get used to the weight. The differences between the cameras are negligible in most situations. In some limited cases, the Max is better but also sometimes the Pro is better. Especially when your phone is close to the thing you’re taking a picture of (which happens a lot).
Nah i know u..
U are the toilet cleaner..
Dont try to act rich🤣🤣
Trust me, there is nothing “regular” about the iPhone 12 Pro 😂 the standard 12 and 12 pro are so good that you don’t even need the gigantic 12 pro max.
You put a lot of work in creating this video. Thanks for your effort.
Over all I think that the Pro is the best value, by far.
Watching this video makes me happy with my choice of going with the iPhone 12 pro!
Just upgraded from the Xr to the 12 Pro because of a few of your videos. Watching them sealed the deal for me.
How you liking it so far? I’m thinking about upgrading from xr. Camera much improved?
@@Mdogbrown did you upgrade it lol
@@adfadfadf4017 Got s21 ultra 😂
I’m really glad I got the 12 pro. Pro Max is too large for my hands and in many cases the cameras are better. First phone that has really impressed me with its camera(s). I love shooting video and photos with it.
Thanks for this. You really are an amazing youtuber. Answered exactly the questions I had about this hardware.
So you know what’s super weird?
I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now and my wife was watching over my shoulder and suddenly recognized you!
Apparently, you, your wife, and her all went to Ferris and we lived up the street from you before moving to Florida.
How small a world!!!
It also finally clicked in my head that he is from the Spokane area too😅
I’ve had the iphone 12 pro max for around two weeks now and I’ve surprisingly never used the camera even once. just wanted a bigger screen to watch youtube.
Same. I barely take pictures
12 pro max is a beast in low light
Actually, larger sensor DOESN'T give you more blur strength. At the same distance, the strength would be the same, but the one with larger sensor would have more field of view, hence you could move closer and get more blur strength. But with the same distance, the blur strength would be the same.
Prove it with mirrorless camera, take 50mm lens, put it in APS-C sensor then compare it with Full Frame sensor.
But they're both 26mm equivalent. Thus all factors being equal, same equivalent length, same fstop (1.6), same distance (focal distance) then the larger sensor should have a shallower depth of field. I noticed a clear difference between my old Samsung with a 1/3" sensor (a8) compared to my new 1/1.7" (a71) with the sensor being almost double in size.
3:57 this has happened to my XS Max two times, the only solution is a restart
Love the pro max I think most of the issues with the camera can be fixed thru software
The deciding factor for me is the phone with the biggest screen. At my age having a large screen is a priority and I’m coming from a XS max
That telephoto lens on the 12 Pro Max looks really bad man. It's better than the other two, but that doesn't mean it's good. I think I myself would not use it. 12 Pro seems like the sweet spot, but who am I.
I ended up buying the iPhone 12. I don’t take as many pictures as I used to.
Its not like the 12 has a bad camera
I went from 11 pro max to 12 mint green surprisingly in Antutu bench mark my 12 beat the other two pro models.
I've just wathced LTT's video on M1 Macs and came here to say thank you for doing reviews and all kind of different benchmarks and scenarios all in really quick and explanatory way. Really thank you
Thank you!!
Watching this video with the 12 pro max on my hands! Wanna see who wins lol.
And did you enjoy the results? 😄
Larger screen, bigger battery and the stabilizer sensor is what sold me on the max
I'm finally about to upgrade my phone and had a dilemma, want to have better camera, but my hands are too small and pro max was kinda big for me, and after this video, I see that I don't have to compromise and get uncomfortable phone in order to get better camera. Thank you!
That was my goal. Your welcome!
thank god i bought 12 pro not 12 pro max. having a brick in your pocket is not very comfortable. the difference in real world is not that huge.
When your battey lasts an hour and a half less, and you feel a little cramped while watching movies or playing games, you might realise a 'real world' difference, as well as a few subtle camera differences
Watching this I might have to get the iPhone 12 PRO
I ordered the 12 pro max, was originally going to get the pro because of how close the cameras are but then I saw the battery tests and it isn't even close
@@michaelbalazs okay I was surprised
2:20 an emu is a bird!!!! LOL 😂
I think the 12 Pro is good, but if you want slightly stronger zoom and larger screen then the 12 Pro Max is the one to get.
I have the 12 Pro Max and love it - my favourite iPhone ever!
To make it simple. iPhone 12pro should be ones choice too choose.
Like iPhone 12 pro ❤️
12 Pro Max looks worse with some pics because this is computational photography. The sensor is larger, but it’s a new platform to develop for. Long story short, give it time and Apple will figure out how to get the most out of that sensor.
Always a fan, keep pouring new content also pls do a gaming comparison
What’s interesting is that at 26mm Pro Max and regular Pro seem to have the same perspective, where Max should have more “zoomed in” background. 🤷🏼♂️
Well i have used both 12 and 12 pro. But the noises on the 12 bothered me a lot. Jumping from iphone X to 12 didnt make a difference because of the camera noise. So if wanna use for a long time, go for pro because if ever a new iphone pro comes out, those who got 12 might want to switch to pro anyway..
Screen on 12 Pro is too small. For me that outweighs the other benefits.
I bought the 12 Max mainly for the screen size but the camera is a real disappointment!
@@KioMilenium true got mine too and the screen is just the pro, i'm pretty mad that the iphone 12 mini is on par as this phone.
@@barb3378 Yeah so you spent all that cash and your selfies dont even look better as those of the kids influencing with their 12 mini? damn what a dissapointment bruv! ;)
@@beatzandwheels It's basically the same, I got the Pro Max and I also got the Mini Yesterday and they're the same, fuck 😫
Sensor shift only kicks in, in intense situations. Like running, or car mounting the phone.
I'm guessing your photos were hand held and were not utilizing screen focus/white balance. That could easily create differences between all images.
pro max only the price is max, imao
Thank you for the camera comparison review. I was going to buy the mini but ended up with a pro because of the lidar sensor and not regretting. What l really want.... iPhone 12(13) Pro Mini would be great considering the Pro model usually would last a bit longer on its battery life like the 12 Pro over the 12.
I think the iPhone 12 Pro nailed it over all!
I don’t know why but in my experience my Galaxy Z fold 2 appears to take better picture in terms of perceived sharpness(the default level adjustment) I even zoomed pixel peeping. And nailed auto white balance better. I am using iPhone 12 Pro
Does not matter ,I click terrible photos😂
Great comparison!
"Llama or Emu..." lol
Nice video .and nice pics
On your 12 pro max lit night photos it looks to my eye the difference is due to the 12 pro max over exposing the image slightly. It’s likely that the software needs more tweaking for the pro max camera to obtain best results.
Some of your other pro/pro max comparisons are pretty close.
Crumbs ! An emu is a flight-less bird , which is BIG.
For me, its doesn't matter which one is better between these iPhone 12’s if you came from iPhone 7+ 😄😄😄
I love my iPhone 12 ProMax right now👍👍👍
You used a 7 Plus for more than 4 years? Kudos to you! And here am I, I can barely last my iPhone a year, even with Apple Care, before having to upgrade. But didn't you get bored of your phone having to use it for so long? I know I'd get envious if any of my friends had a cool feature I didn't.
@@Tom_Stevens617 yes. Didn't get me excited with all the iPhones that came out. Only now with the iPhone 12 ProMax. But the main reason I bought a new one is my iPhone 7 battery is dying.😄😄
I so much wanted the bigger sensor but the Pro Max is really too big for my taste, even the 12 Pro marks the limit. Switched from a Xs and I don‘t like that the 12 Pro is a little bigger.
I think this is just a clickbait, bec. I have an iPhone 12 and the photos are much better then on this Video! Maybe he used the front camera but in the dark the pictures are very lightly and just amazing and not so dark like the picture he put on this Video!!
I think Apple downgraded the camera software on iPhone 12 in iOS 14.2 and 14.3 so that intending buyers could buy the pro version cause the camera on all the three phones were basically all the same at launch
Yes, could be. I would buy the pro too, if it wasnt too much expensive, but the picture in the darkness are much better with the iPhone 12 then on his picture
How is this possible ? If the cameras on 12 pro and 12 pro max are the same ?
Can't decide... iPhone 11 + compact camera or iPhone 12 Pro max...
I think 12 pro's photos are a bit yellowish.
12pro looks like gum packet, promax is a real phone
It doesn’t worth buying an iphone 12 pro max for more 400 usd and the when u upload the picture to instagram…or even facebook…the quality goes to hell as an iphone 12 would do as well
Max come on, when you use iphones in low light conditions they dont use telephoto lenses, thats the crop from main camera, i love your reviews but this drives me crazy a bit
Emu is a bird 🤣🤣
😅
I think we’re looking for “Alpaca” 😂
I was lmao when I heard that 😂
“I was taking pictures and this strange indigenous creature just walked right up to me! It was like, some sort of emu or something!”
To be honest: All photos look almost the same. The only difference is the telephoto lens a bit better low light quality in the 12 pro max.
Exactly not to mention the 12 and 12 pro got the same main senser
@@tevinmathes9566 really? Didn know that! thx!
U so mean to the iPhone 12 😔
But it still okay tho
😂
If you're on the fence, just get the 12 Pro and call it a day.
its an extra $150-200 though...
Lyndon Coleman correction it’s only an extra 130$ if consider it has 128gb base storage instead of 64gb if you live in the US.
130$ more for a telephoto lens, 50% more ram and a 200nits brighter display is 100% worth the extra 130$ it over the regular iPhone 12.
@@The1Odis If you can afford the 12 Pro, I definitely agree it's worth the upgrade over the 12. Coming from a XS Max, the 128GB of storage and 6 gigs of ram was a no brainer for me...as far as the 12 Pro Max, the price difference between the 12 Pro isn't worth it imo. Plus, the phone is just too damn big & heavy for a daily driver.
No get the pro max for the big screen
I hear ya got mine today
Glad I’ve got the 12 Pro than the 12 Pro Max. A good sweet spot within the iPhone 12 line up is getting the 12 Pro 256GB model.
I wasn't too sure which I should get, the pro or pro max. Seems like there's not too much of a difference. I like the smaller phone but I want to use it's camera somewhat professionally, so if there was more a difference, I'd maybe go for the pro max but I think I'm good with the pro. Thank you so much for comparing these three versions of the iphone 12 series
Thanks for watching! I’d go with the 6.1” Pro
12 pro , so far so good 👌🏻
I just herd battery sucks on 12 pro

An emu is a bird,
I have not heard anyone talking about selfie camera from these latest Iphone 12, Pro and pro max that seems very odds when processing, it makes your face looks very shiny and also reflect all the imperfections, unlike the iPhone XS model. Don't seem to have anyone talking about it
Excellent video. I was previously undecided as to what iPhone 12 to go for. I had been leaning towards the iPhone 12 Pro Max since on paper it offers improved image stabilisation, but this video has convinced me that the iPhone 12 Pro is the optimal choice. Thank you.
It’s worth it for the bigger screen alone. 12 pro max user here. Loving the shit out of it. The battery is INSANE. guys, it’s worth it.
Also the pro max uses a Samsung screen and the pro uses the LG screen.
@@Mickytdi is that so? Well Samsung makes the best screens so that is another benefit !
@@franklahache3679 Yep LG make the 6.1 inch screens. I have had them side by side and i can tell the difference. No way i would have the pro over the pro max the battery is phenomenal.
@@Mickytdi is there a big difference between them in screen quality
@@Mickytdi right!! the battery life is batshit crazy ! People who get the pro always say “the max too big” they just justifying their mistake 😂
Llama and alpaca are close.
An emu is a bird.
Anything above the 12 is a waste of money. If you’re really into photography you won’t rely on a smartphone, anyway…
Finally could make my decision. Thanks for the video. Going for 12 Pro, iOS is not good for big screen experiences.
I am happy and surprised how my Iphone 12 Pro does the best in this comparison i thought the 12 Pro max would be better overall camera wise with its small upgrades. Nice vid!!
Best comparison I've seen so far! And I've watched a lot :-) This has helped me to make my decision. I'm going to get the iphone 12 Pro. Thanks!
Same here. This video really helped me decide.
I would buy 12 pro max for low light video recording, anything else 12 pro is the boss
....Did you just call an alpaca an EMU?!!! I understand calling it a llama but really, and emu?
Haha. Obviously I have no idea about these animals lol. I apologize..
LOL
Is a llama
i LOVE taking macro shots (i live near a forest, lol) and i was going to get the pro max because i assumed it would handle it the best, am i wrong? should i get the pro?
Got a iPhone 12 Pro Max upgraded from the iPhone XR definitely love the pro max.
I guess the sales of 12 pro are kind of low. Every youtuber now posts videos on how they regret taking the max 🧐
That is what I am thinking too
The max has done very well. The top seller pro would probably be second
I've got just the 12 and its brilliant I guarantee there's no difference between any of them
Same I have 12 and it’s doesn’t look different from the pro series
So they’re very similar but overall iPhone 12 series are monster cameras... Also for videos! I've been uploading 4K HDR Dolby Vision for my channel and with some editing even at NIGHT the quality is freaking insane! 🤟🏻
and the same for pics you use some lightroom filters and you can have a master piece :p
Yeah man ! Barely different... a camera isn’t a reason to buy a phone tho IMO... 12 pro max got the bigger screen/ bigger battery ! Been loving every second of it
@@franklahache3679 yeah, any of those options will satisfied the needs of regular users. If you want you could check the Cinematic HDR videos that i've been making for the channel wit the 12 I tell me what do you think about :D
I think the only way to see a difference is to shoot in Apple Raw coming out soon with IOS 14.3 if you don’t plan to shoot in Raw then it really doesn’t matter which iPhone 12 you pick
That's SMART!!!
For the first photo I think the problem is that the Pro Max got his focus on the sky while the other two phone got their focus on the car. You can see it by the fact that the car in the 12 Pro and 12 shot is brighter.
Upgraded to the 12 pro max from the 8 and I’ve got to say it’s amazing. As a person who usually killed my 8’s battery by the night when on low power mode all day. I usually end the day around 30% battery not on low power mode. Also, love the huge screen and amazing camera updates. 5G isn’t that gr8 yet but in the next 2-3 yrs will get much better.
Love this video! Thank you
5:59 pic in the middle: "Dad, hurry up and get me that promised ice cream!" 😉
no
The dark pic of the iphone 12 caught my eye
@Avingay Anfordstay ok

7:08 "The 12 Pro can't do portrait shot and night mode at the same time, the 12 Pro can." ????????
Definitely what I was thinking...
He meant 12
Big up to those of you who like me are upgrading from 6s to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Whoop Whoop! Can’t wait for it to come!
I’m doing the opposite as far as sizes go. I’m going from the 6 plus to the 12 pro. Mine’s taking forever to come 😩
@@Tom_Stevens617 what newer features? I got most of the software updates. Also we have the same phone: iPhone. Regardless of the model we have, there really isn’t that much of a difference when it comes to the experience using it, so no I don’t get bored. I don’t need the latest and greatest every year. That’s stupid. My phone lasted long because I took care of it. Though now I definitely need this upgrade because my phone is suppppeeerrrr slow and takes forever to let me click on something.
Lol ... a 6S here looking to upgrade
@@jessicajamila1907 lol omg I was the same! But it’s coming tomorrow!! :D so excited!!
@@Tom_Stevens617 I agree with you there lol but after the iPhone 6s all the phones seemed a little similar I wanted a big change something really new and they kept going on about how they are gonna remove the button so I saw they did but still wasn’t satisfied then the iPhone 11 pro came out and I legit was gonna buy it but It was taking me a while to figure out what I wanted and now the 12 pro and I was like that’s it I have to have this phone lol!
Nice video but some flaws... listed below! But the video did help me make a buying decision! :) So thank you! I went with the Pro!
@ 0:27 - There is clearly a cloud in front of the sun in the ProMax photo so the ProMax gets "better light"! You can see the plain or Jet or whatever it is, is not in the same place in the Fotos!
@0:42 - The background is a clear difference but again, the textures on the jacket are because of "better lighting"! See there is more sunlight on the whole jacket on the ProMax then on the Pro.
For some reason a good number of pictures taken with the iPhone 12 looked better than the ones taken with the pro.
He doesn't know how to take portrait with iphone 12
Llama or emu? Well one is a bird, the other is what’s in the photo hahahaha! 2:20
The Dalai Lama flies from time to time.
It’s an alpaca
You would think a pro model is 5 times better...
yea i agree, i have the 12 pro max & i was thinkin bout gettin the smaller 12 pro or the regular 12 bc the differences was minor, the only reason i went wit the 12 pro max was bc i wanted a bigger screen overall & and better battery life. apple should’ve at least did 120hz wit the “pro” models. or something to separate them
Pretty typical for people to say the “max” version is the best because it’s the top of the line up when there isn’t really that big of a difference
Well there is a quantitative difference this year so...
@@williamericson more ram 3rd camera which is a bit better but if people like my self don’t care about a camera aslong as it’s good & takes videos & photos not a big difference & a little bigger different battery life between them Same oled screen same A14chip
@@callan69 i agree with your comment about the max, as how on the 11 pro max and xs max there was virtually no difference other than screen/battery, but the 12 pro max actually has noticeable advantages, and while they may be hard to notice, they still exist
@@callan69 pro max is for videographers and bloggers, that sensor shift is pretty substantial for them, and a bigger battery is a must
@@retrocomputing couldnt notice big advantages in video stabilization after all those comparison vids I have watched. Am I missing something?!
I can tell you were a bit biased for the 12 pro. overall, the 12 pro max is the better phone,but not by a wide margin.
12 pro has the best camera...less weaknesses.
To me the worse is the Pro. I have a regular 12 and it can take fabulous shots!
Watching this on my 12 pro max🤩 I wanted the bigger screen and I love itt. But I’m surprised at the 12 pro performance
Same. Didn’t care about anything but the bigger screen but I’m so happy about the battery
@@franklahache3679 yes the battery is amazing!
@Matuscara ت I have the pro max, the battery is crazy. I am a heavy user and the battery lasts forever.
Thank you for making me skip all iPhones this year
Lol so I’m going to sum 🧮 up your video 🎥 the iPhone 📱 12 pro is basically the same as the Max 🙌🏿 and the regular 12 is the same as the Max and Pro but with no Night time TelePhoto 😆👏🏿 Your WELCOME to anyone that didn’t watch the whole video 😁
The Pro AND the Max are not worth buying. You must be an idiot to buy one of those. If you find photos video so important buy a camera
12 pro is to heavy to lug around all day. Go with the 12
I have the 12 promax although I haven’t used it because I’m still using my 11 promax I just feel like the 12 promax is just too big bigger than the 11 promax so I don’t know if I’m going to return it and just get the regular 12 pro but I guess I’m just worried about my camera being different when it takes pictures
Please compare 4k 60fps samples instead of 24 fps and 30 fps...
Most peopel will going to use much smoother 60 fps if we have it
