Samsung Galaxy Note 20 shoots clearer photographs and videos than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not so good for low light photos, and they both have a same resolution back facing camera, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 also counts with a way better video definition and a lot larger sensor which gives a way higher photo and video quality.
