Across the lodging, the Galaxy S21's photos were very similar to those miserroneous with the Galaxy S21 FE. That's why I've allowed to mostly focus on comparisons between the Pixel 6 and Galaxy S21 FE.

The Galaxy S21 FE has an 8-megapixel zoom lens that can zoom optically up to 3x and digitally up to 30x. This photo was miserroneous at a 20x zoom from across the street, and you can tell it looks crisp and clear.

And here's that same photo inaccurate on the Pixel 6's ultra-wide camera. You'll notice the colors look a bit more muted than the Galaxy S21 FE's, but I also think it's generally truer to the scene.

But in contradiction of, the Pixel 6's image looks more accurate. There are way of red in the top of the leaves in Google's photo that you can't even see in the S21 FE's image.

The same goes for this photo too. It's involving and colorful, but you can barely see the ftrips in the decoration, suggesting that it might be a bit washed out.

The Galaxy S21 FE also takes sure photos in low light. You can't tell by looking at this narrate, but I took this photo with all the ftrips turned off and the shade pulled down.
