The new Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Google Pixel 4 XL go head-to-head (camera bump-to-bump?) in this ultimate contest of cameras. The newcomer Galaxy S20 Ultra is capable of shooting 8K footage and comes equipped with four cameras; a 108MP main, a 48MP telephoto, and a 12MP ultrawide on the back, then a 40MP FCC.
