The Huawei Mate 40 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G both achieved a score of 75 for their bokeh modes and jointly occupy the top spot for this category. The Mate 40 Pro’s portrait mode does a good job at creating a natural-looking bokeh simulation that doesn’t look far off from what a DSLR and fast lens could capture. The testers were particularly impressed by the depth estimation that works well even with hair and other complex subjects. Exposure and colours are nice, making for nice-looking portrait images overall. If the top-of-the-line model is preferred, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ achieves nearly identical results in this category.
Portrait mode is also one of the strengths of the S20 Ultra 5G, with bokeh images that display vivid and pleasant color, accurate exposure with wide dynamic range, and good detail. Noise is controlled well, with uniformity across both sharp and blurred areas.
Consistency is good, with the S20 Ultra applying bokeh effects consistently in portrait mode, and results are pleasant in outdoor and indoor lighting conditions. Depth estimation is fairly accurate, and although some slight segmentation artifacts, including halos, are occasionally visible, it does a good job on the overall. It also applies strong blur effect, which can look quite striking; and together with big, well-contrasted spotlights and a good blur gradient effect, the overall results are excellent.
