    This is a pretty comprehensive comparison between the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max:

    Based on these samples, I hate to say it, but video from the iPhone appears better to me. Photos from the devices are more of a tossup, with the S20 Ultra crushing in two specific departments: zoom photos and low light photos in ultra wide mode.

    Here is a comparison of the low light photos in ultra wide:

    It also appears to perform a lot better in the dark with the selfie camera using flash:

    It also has selfie camera night mode which the iPhone 11 Pro Max lacks.

    Ultimately SuperSaf concludes exactly what you might expect: there is no CLEAR winner. They're both great but have different strengths and weaknesses.

    The clear win here for the Ultra is the zoom which is why many of us would buy the device in the first place. The clear loss for the Ultra seems to be in video stabilization and color in shadows.
