Samsung Galaxy S III camera versus HTC One X, iPhone 4S

The Samsung Galaxy S III and its 8-megapixel camera is coming out soon on five U.S. carriers, and you know what that means. That's right, boys and girls, it's time for another photo shoot-out! This time, the GSIII takes on the HTC One X, and iPhone 4S for a test of the best.Blacks are blackest on the One X, but the GSIII and iPhone 4S are the clear winners in terms of sharpness. The iPhone captured more of the yellow flower's crinkly detail -- just look at the top middle portion of the bloom, and the shadowed bottom left.

This shootout is all about the basics: how well the cameras did in various outdoor and indoor situations, and without any fancy modes, filters, or effects. All photos were shot on automatic mode, from the same position, and focusing on the same object. I have resized and cropped the pictures, but left them otherwise untouched. I placed the GSIII shots in the center of each trio to make it easier to compare to the camera shots above and below.

While I prefer the more saturated blue on the One X, the phone also blued-out the green sea layer between sky and land. The GSII shot has the least contrast of the three in both the leaf shadows and the characters' silhouettes.My eyes like the Galaxy S III's deeper greens in the two umbrellas. The iPhone produced the brightest shot, but also the most detail under the main umbrella. The One X has the sharper front-right corner.
