iphone x vs pixel 2 xl camera comparison
Man... you are the king of camera comparisons. No one out there is producing camera comparisons as well done as you! Keep up the fantastic work!!!!!!
+Donavon Hornbeck Thanks, much appreciated! Several others far greater to me but I hope I bring my own perspective to the conversation. Hope to be more natural on camera like you one day 😀👍

Super saf - Pixel 2 XL vs Iphone X
th-cam.com/video/3b-VvmAZn14/w-d-xo.html
supersaf tv brought up this idea and is used by everyone now
Lol, yup he invented smartphone camera comparisons, so everyone must be copying him. 🙄
Basicly iPhone X is brighter
Pixel 2 XL has more details.
The portrait, based on this video, Pixel 2 XL is more natural
KevinMulia more natural... I'd say the best portrait on smartphones
Jordensband I don't know since I don't have high-end phone.
But from the image shown, Yes Pixel 2 XL has better images in portrait.
saturated is the word, not bright. i hate over saturated, it has obvious clipping (clipping: the lost of detail due to over saturation).
I like how things are switch around this time now iPhones are saturated than the competition interesting
samitha sheshan: In the video is saturated Pixel with unreal colors..
Tried both. I like pixel better overall. The iPhone has better video but the pixel takes better photos. It's unreal how good the front facing camera is on the pixel. Nice unbiased comparison man! You did a fantastic job.
Good to hear you tried both. Can appreciate your take on it.
Yeee
The google pixel is a monster with only one lens
SUP blue emerald planet how ? I think thepixel is better
SUP blue emerald planet hahahahh sure.
SUP blue emerald planet No way, pixel 2 wins
off color emerald network nopeee sorry
English please
In iPhone X video you can hear lot of background noise in the audio. But in pixel 2 xl video you can only hear his voice..
SHEEN PC But somehow it is not natural.
It will be great if the voice is like iPhone but without that surrounding sound
It needs to be an option. I don't want all mics to be "noise cancelling" threshold mics.
It’s 50/50
Some shots are better on iPhone & some the pixel. It’s all preference on the OS.
Iphones camera is nice but pixels camera can capture much more detailed photo with great colour saturation.
Those dog pictures on the Pixel 2 looks so good. Amazing snapper.
Audio goes to the Pixel for sure...
You're literally insane
It does capture the voice better yes but once you bring background noise in like waterfall street noises it becomes really high pitched tinny sound. Google is gonna fix that though but for now the audio goes to the iphone. I'm getting a pixel 2 xl just letting you know so I dont sound bias or anything.
Don't know, sure Pixel Noise cancellation is better, but what if I want to capture the surrounding sound too?
Hope there is the option to do so
Really? It seemed exactly the opposite to me. By a lot.
KevinMulia Recheck the portion of video after 6:00. I know what you're saying, but the choice it clear here: his voice on both phones is fine, but the background for Pixel2 sounds underwater, or like muffled digital noise. The kind of sound i don't want in memories I'm trying to record and keep!
Cheers
I like how the pixels portrait mode is much better than the iPhone's although it doesn't have a second camera.
portrait mode is more about the software
they are all just filters, they just gather the information on how and to which parts of the image to apply it on from different sources.
Can't wait for my Pixel 2 to get here.
same
+J. Williams me too 😉
+byronvisiado09 hope it's soon
My delivery says 11/22 hoping it arrives.
J. Williams I thought you already had one...
Your dog is absolutely beautiful!!! 🐶❤️ Wow! Great camera comparison!!!!!! I wish lots of people could see this video because it would give them a very good idea of what to expect from both phones. Keep up the great work!!!!
Maria Elena Cabrera
iPhone Zoom is CRAZY good...super clear.
+J. Williams yup very clean
2 cameras??? it should be clear
It has an optical zoom, pal. The comparison there is absurd.
SUP blue emerald planet That comparison is as absurd as comparing a phone with a screen to one with none.
u r right bro...
Great comparison! I have both phones, and I'm pretty much aligned. I prefer the pictures on the pixel 2, and the video on the iPhone. The fact that you can shoot 4k at 60fps is just awesome. Lowlight video on the X is better as well. Audio on the p2 is much better, as is stabilization.
For me, when you factor in price, the pixel 2 is the better overall camera.
EW you really prefer that audio? It may be louder, but sounds like audio from a phone 10 years old. You can always turn up the iPhone audio afterwards and it will sound much fuller.
iPhone X HDR is super good. I prefer Pixel macro shots a lot more - the extra micro contrast makes the detail pop. Pixel audio >> iPhone no contest. Looks like the Pixel is heavy handed on the saturation at 4k. Pixel seems to be more consistent in front facing exposure. Portrait mode is on point as well. Both awesome performers, great video Grant!
Lol you prefer that audio? It's little wonder speakers and music sounds so crap today :) Just because it records into the file at a louder volume, people like it more...
we got a fanboy here
Rennie Ash the audio is way better in pixel xl2, there is nothing you can say and be stupid about, in iphone x you can hear the wind more than the person talking, but the pixel, well its a different league
Are we hearing the same thing? It was the Pixel where you could hear all that background noise not the iPhone.
The most in depth camera comparison I've seen in a very long time. I'm just glad to say I have both phones. Beast!
Which do you prefer?
Phone Tech At Work ship me one please
SlighceTUNES It doesn’t work that way you know...
Patrick R it still can be done
Phone Tech At Work wqr36
pixel 2 only loses in zoom comparison
Jhofz Gaming de Sky is ugly
nacho dure is it cloudy?
You prefer the yuk sky in the video? The bad audio recording?
SUP blue emerald planet you're probably a fanboy. With all due respect.
SUP blue emerald planet yea pixel won this won for sure
This is the BEST camera comparison that I have ever seen. No offense to Mr Jwill. I agree with what you said. It seems like the iPhone X has trouble with things that are very white. It probably wouldn't be noticeable except when it was being compared to another good camera. This comparison is the most comprehensive I have ever seen. Completely engrossing. Keep up the great work. Michael.
+Michael Neild Wow, thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated
Finally, someone who actually takes good photos, every other youtubers shoot photos of random objects right in front of them without moving
Great video! I can only imagine how much time it took to put it together!
+Redskull Thanks, nothing compared to your videos, but these do take me time.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Maddox Zakai Instablaster =)
Tough call, results seemed mixed to me. Pixel front camera crushed the IPhone X with the details clearly standing out. IPhone seemed to bring in light better most of the time, especially in low light. It generally lacked the great attention to detail as the Pixel again though. At times the Pixels colors looked off though. Did that sky really look torquoise? I give it to the Pixel because I thought it generally shot what was directly in front of it better.
No, no idea why the sky looked like that on the Pixel 4k video.
Probably HDR. That is too far done and gets crushed in the colour range and brightness allowable in the video format.
J stop fronting bruh Pixel homie. Can't deny it's thunder 😂
+LaShun 😂👍
You can definitely deny it’s zoom.. that’s to say it has none.
Harry Katsaros 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ iPhone has a lens for zooming in. Pixel doesn't.
LaShun that was kind of my point
LaShun. You again 😂
I love iphone but google pixel camera hands down the number 1 best camera now days
2nd is Iphone
3rd is Samsung
Great video any way really helpfull
Huawei leica lens : hold my cheers
Wow pixel 2... Better color definition and higher detail every time with a single camera. GJ
people might say that the Iphone X has a better camera, but if you think about it, this is googles 2nd phone and the Iphone X is apples 10th Iphone and the Pixel 2 XL BEATS the Iphone X
Interesting take, well said. 😀
Man, I love the dog's photo at 9:20 especially on the iPhone X.
I can't afford either. Why am I watching this?
Man, great detailed video bro!
I'm not a iPhone guy, but I preferred it about 2 thirds of the time. iPhone has a general pick hue, while the Pixel 2 has a greenish. Very, very close. Personal preference, as you say.
Yup, always interesting to hear other constructive opinions on this. Thanks George!
Yes, thank you! I’ve been seeing other comments stating that Pixel has better coloring, but it just looks off to me. Both phones have their hiccups, but I️ think the X is just a lil better.
Amber Eff ,well i 2 think the same
The dynamic range on the Pixel 2 XL is just mind blowing it's really second to none on phones.
Great job, Grant!! Killing it with these videos🔥🔥
Thanks T!
One of the best camera comparisons I've seen on TH-cam. Love the color accuracy of the pixel 2 XL if they could just correct the under exposure it would probably be the best camera on a Smart. iPhone pictures are to yellowish and slightly overexposed.
Omg the dog is beautiful!
This is one of my first time watching your comparison videos. I appreciate the effort you put into this! And also on such new hot phones that everyone is checking into. I hope my videos are this good when I get to they're comparing stage. Heck I haven't even got to the review stage yet, but this is an excellent video!
Excellent comparison! The best one i’ve seen on TH-cam so far.
One of the best video comparisons I’ve seen yet!!!! Good work
Watching this comparison makes me CRAVE for a pixel 2 xl even more now! Great comparison video!
Thanks!
This is the best review video i have watched comparing these two phones so far. Thanks for making things clear for me on which phone to get. keep up the great work
Thanks, really appreciate that. Which one are you getting?
@@GrantLikesTech iPhone X. Switching from android. Do you think its a good idea to use an iPhone X as camera for TH-cam content? Am new FYI
@@princebanini iPhone is certainly more than good enough for filming content for TH-cam.
You may also want to invest in a lav mic to improve the audio as well. They can be found for around $20 on Amazon.
@@GrantLikesTech Great. I already got a BOYA Mic tho. Getting the iPhone mid January
PIXEL 2 easily. I'm an iPhone user
Respect
I'm a pixel user and I like apple but they aren't my favorite, thanks for admitting something that is hard for some people
Thanks for a VERY elaborate comparison! I think camera's have so many different uses and scenarios, and a lot of camera comparison videos don't get indepth enough. This was great!
Thanks, much appreciated
This is the best camera comparison in TH-cam!! Keep up the very incredible work!! I would be delighted to see more comparisons!! Pls do a comparison between iPhone X and Huawei P20 Pro!!!
Thanks, much appreciated. Don't have the P20 Pro, but may eventually get it if the price comes down.
Then how do you have the iPhone?!
Well, I buy all my phones and believe it or not that can be a bit expensive. iPhone prices don't really drop for a long time, so not much choice there. I just don't believe in paying crazy prices to import the P20 Pro. I may get the non-Pro as that seems like a better buy right now.
Video and audio to the iPhone. Still photos to the Pixel 2. Overall the iPhone is the more consistent performer, but if a still camera is all you want, then the Pixel 2 is great. Especially in sunset/sunrise pictures, where most phones struggle. iPhone also does a bit of Samsung boosting colours in the still pictures...
That portrait of the dog on the pixel is amazing
Just found your channel and I gotta say, I'm digging it so far. This was a really in-depth camera comparison and helped me see just how similar yet different the cameras are. You earned yourself a new sub!
Inactive My Dudes free to
Really u need a thubs up bro for ur great camera comparison... best till date.. keep doing.. best of luck
Wow this camera comparison is like one of the best if not the best I've seen on TH-cam. Very in depth review too. Your comparison routine is very unique. Keep up the good work Grant. (Ford GT)
Thanks Mr Ford GT! 😀
The only android phone I've seen that can produce nice and detailed pictures
Stop being an isheep current android midrangers blows the iPhone x away in camera
Another isheep found
4k on the iPhone is better to me, the sky looks very nice...and blue, more natural.
+J. Williams Agreed
Yeah that Pixel 2 XL blue sky - I've never seen that color before .. preferred iphone's
Yeah I love the deep blue that iPhone captured
Pixel 2 has deeper blue sky at 2:34...and did so without washing out the sunlit side of the building.
Yeah, on the Pixel there was some strange color issues with the sky going on in some shots. The white balance somehow was completely off. A bit strange, because on most pictures the Pixel gets the white balance quite good.
TLDW, iPhone overexposes and loses some details in normal lighting conditions. Pixel has better details in normal light but performs worse than iPhone in low light.
+AFM Sayem appreciate the comment and sharing your thoughts
Maybe you should watch lol. The Pixel looked considerably better in low light.
*best camera review style ..no bullshit no hype yapping just pure fast tests*
The Pixel is simply Genius!
Nice comparison of the dynamic range with the video. Most people don’t admit it’s a trade off either way.
Best camera comparison. Pixel 2's Audio and image quality is hand down one of the best in smartphones. Audio quality is worst on iphone its strange.. PIXEL 2 😍
Yeah, iPhones haven't had good audio recording in a long time.
Pixel 2 XL's picture feels damn close to reality, no doubt the best video for this matter. Superb job!
Best camera comparision I have ever seen!
Thank you so much for the comprehensive comparison of the two phones! Not all users have the luxury of taking outdoor photos prior to buying the phone and you did that for us! Thank you! Think I know which phone to get now! :)
Glad it was helpful Which one are you getting?
I've been a iPhone user for 7 years but this time I'll definitely go with Pixel for all the great features it has.
Pixel's camera is way ahead of iPhone's, anyone who say's anything other than that is either a fanboy or blind. iPhone overexposes, loses detail and fails at color reproduction, the depth of field is realistic and better but the lack of detail ruins it. 11:10 says it all !
Shocky people to this day still can’t use the iPhones camera. They just point and shoot not understanding how this lens is prepped to take a photo. I can easily show you pictures that will blow your mind with this iPhone X because I understand the lens.
I agree, the auto nubs can make any lens look bad, but that's mostly for DSLRs, a smartphone however has to be consistent with its photos in auto mode, and you have to give it up to Google for the brilliant software optimization, hence the win for the Pixel in this comparison :).
Shocky should be nice to see how it takes pics when Google activates its visual core chip in the pixel 2s
In still photos yes, in video and audio the Pixel is quite a way behind for a top of the line.
One of the best cam comparison I ve seen ...deserves millions of likes ... some famous TH-camrs don’t even compares well but they get more likes coz of popularity.. this video is an example of great phone comparison .. keep it up
Lol, thanks. Much appreciated!
WOW. What a great great great camera comparison. By far the best camera comparison even better than Super Saf. Exceptional comprehensive comparison.
The only department iPhone X wins is the low light video recording and optical zoom (daytime only). I am amazed how Pixel 2 dominates the iPhone X in every other department with single camera. Especially, video sound and portrait modes. Pixel 2 is just killing it!
Pixel is the best.
The biggest takeaway from this video is that no matter which phone you choose, it's a win. Which phone you choose is up to your preference. This is the most in depth camera comparison video I've seen of these two devices.
Very comprehensive! Thank you!
First, amazing video.
As to photos, I’d classify it like this. The iPhone X looks like a very very good phone camera. The Pixel 2 looks almost like a DSLR, the detail, dynamic range and contrast ratio is incredible. The Pixel is clearly the better in low light and its front camera is significantly better with the iPhone looking softer.
As to video, the iPhone may actually have the edge here, save for stabilisation which can be very important. This video has fairly stable walking with the phones I assume both attached to a simple rig. Start bouncing about more , as you would be in a real life environment where you are probably not so smoothly walking and holding the phone so steady, and that Pixel shines.
Overall as he says there’s shots you can get on the Pixel you cannot get on the iPhone, as a photography lover myself there is just something about those shots that is subtle but makes a big difference. Google did a phenomenal job with that phone save the blue tint screen at angles.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Iphone photos are more pleasing to eye due to the warmer contrast.
Great comparison. I lean slightly towards the bit more saturated iPhone images color wise, that extra little pop is pleasing to the eye, but the Pixel image details are just amazing in comparison. I don't know what extra stuff their sensor has or what they're doing software wise but the detail of the hairs on the dog pictures are night and day, and it's not like it's being overprocessed(like Samsung tends to do), it's like the sensor takes in more information somehow because it still looks very natural.
Now for video, they are fairly close in quality, but I think I see why people have complained about the Pixel audio now. It is continuously processing noise cancellation, and you can easily hear it with the windy shot of that tower with the plane noise, where the iPhone keeps in the wind noise and plane in the background, but the Pixel completely cuts out any wind and the plane sounds muffled, and this adds a very processed tinny tone to the audio. Maybe they can accommodate an option to turn that completely off or lower how much processing is being done on the audio. I do like that it's much louder though, just way overprocessed.
The colours on iPhone X photos seem to be off most of the time. Pixel 2 XL wins in terms of producing better still images. But for videos I prefer iPhone, especially when it comes to shooting in a blue sky condition. The blue colour looks green-ish on Pixel 2 XL videos... not good. And the audio coming from Pixel 2 XL is just atrocious.
Nizar Noor people from other videos are saying that google pixel 2 has good speakers
Nizar Noor the problem with the iphone X is that ugly black part on the top
the pixel's stabilization wins it for me though. in real life, that is more useful for me. the audio has been fixed in the November update, and is much cleaner now.
There's not a big difference with the people on the Apple Store pic. It could potentially zoom in though. You cannot fix over saturation as easily as just reducing the brightness. There are times where the Pixel would also show you your subjects in "police work" where as the iPhone would be over exposed.
The only person you're fooling is yourself, picking one thing to convince yourself while ignoring everything else...
Nizar Noor I don’t see it
Whoaoo 😲😱😳 look at the dynamic range of the pixel's front cam..
I am gonna subscribe right now this is a really good review of a camera phone I have ever seen
Wow!! Awesome music, pics and videos!! The Pixel Audio is crystal clear no background noise just your voice the iPhone I hear a lot of background noise. The iPhone did better in the zoom tests but all it's pics look touched up and 2 soft. I love the crisp look of the Pixel. The Pixel was also a little more stable in the video tests. Great Comparison Vid Thank You
better colors and alot crisper on pixel2
Only the sky is better on the x
Skyline MC5 the colors are better on the x but the pixel 2 is far better when it comes to detail
Cripser but not better colors. I mean look at that video comparison in the park. The pixel looks like it was colored by crayons
What I found really odd is that the RC pics from the iPhone looked better to me at the Google Campus. Yet the Pixel 2XL pics looked much better at the Apple Campus! That's kind of ironic. The nice thing is that both phones seem legit. For an Android user, such as myself, there is just no other phone I'd rather have than my Pixel 2XL. It's been awesome to use!
I feel the Pixel takes slightly clearer pictures but too "cool" iPhone is a little bit too warm. Both seem a little off. But that stabilization in video mode on the Pixel is insane.
best camera comparison i seen so far....Keep it up man~ loving your content....
I like the pixel 2 XL better.
Smartphone cameras are so good these days. Every single company improved so much over the years. Differences between models are minimal. Theres no right or wrong anymore between the flagship phones. I went with the Lg V30 for that sick focus peaking feature. But you would have a great time with any camera. Great video btw!
Still Photo Winner- Pixel2 XL
Video recorder Winner- iPhone X
Video stabalition is better on Pixel2 XL though.
A brighter picture does not mean a better one. The iPhone over exposed 90% of the pictures taken. The only area I can give the iPhone was the 4K recording because that blue sky during the 4K test looked unnatural on the P2XL and for audio recording since the P2XL is known to have audio recording issues which is coming with a fix. On the other hand though, you can tell Google was attempting to use software in the mic to block out background noises, which is why the audio on the P2XL seemed so much more clear and at the forefront despite the bad bug that causes those tinny issues. Even portrait shots on the P2XL was better, with his hat being blurred every time and his ears too, while the P2XL kept it in focus.
Google definitely did something amazing with that machine learning, one lens cam taking out the double lens.
You have a very nice dog. Great comparison btw. Keep up the good work
I notice the pictures on the iPhone are over all warmer but I see far more hot spots on the highlights there too. The Pixel 2 shots may not be bright color-rich but the dynamic range is so much better than the iPhone's, meaning that post production, if needed, on the Pixel 2 would be much better than on the iPhone. The video stabilization is also so much better on the Pixel 2... I'm starting to love that cell...
sometimes the iphone shots are really washed out and lack the fine detail the pixel captures. like the leaf at 3:15
Thank you so much. Cameras are probably one of the most important and frequently used features of phones yet other reviews don't pay enough attention to it. You covered various real life conditions thus provided an excellent comparison. I think you've won yourself a new subscriber.
Wow, thanks so much for the kind words and support.
Woooooow best camera review ever
Big thanks
Nice work. One of the best comparison videos I've seen
Pixel has a one lens. How abt that?
Emmp hw abt wut?
The iPhone lens2 is a zoom lens. A zoom lens. It doesn't change the colours or HDR processing...
Rennie Ash but it does affect the portrait mode with 56mm focal length. You will notice a slight distortion on Pixel's portrait photos, which is caused by the 28mm wide lens.
Pictures: Pixel 2 XL. iPhone X had nice pictures too, but I think the Pixel 2 XL had more details. Very natural and detailed image processing.
Video (never thought I would say this): iPhone X (1080p and 4K).
I think the Pixel 2 has mediocre 1080p and 4K video processing. iPhone X videos looked more natural. That might be why. However, the OIS+EIS combo really looked more steady compared to iPhone X.
Why is no one mad about the pixel 2 audio qaulity? Out of all the problems that seems the be the biggest glaring issue with it... After writing this I realized I'm wearing the same shirt as you so that's wierd..
Lance Diano pixel 2 audio is fine. There is no need for complaining lel
I agree, I want to get a pixel but the noise cancellation is way too aggressive. A lot of people just hear louder voice = better. But it’s so tinny and horribly distorted if you listen on anything better than a phone speaker that it’s a real turn off
Noise cancellation software is easily fixable.. both suck at audio tho, 1000 bucks n dey can't even give stereo audio capture... Damn even OnePlus does dat nowadays!
Great cameras, held back by cost cutting.
Some people actually praise that audio. Given how everyone seems to only like phone speakers as hifi these days, it's little wonder that everything sounds like trash. If it's louder with boosted up treble, they like it. If it pumps them in the chest with bass, they like it. No matter how distorted or tin can it sounds...
iPhone seems more artistic, Pixel seems more realistic... It's all a matter of preference I think
In a nutshell Google Pixel 2 for front camera, iPhone X for rear camera.
Here's my breakdown after watching the video. Pixel 2 clearly take better selfies in just about every scenario. Daylight, lowlight, indoors, outdoors. Much better portrait mode with front camera on pixel.
I think iPhone had the better lowlight and daylight photos overall, but when facing the sunlight, the pixel handled the scenery much better. Not over exposing, and holding on to the dynamic range. The iPhone failed miserably when facing the sun, but when looking away, it had the better pictures. I give the edge to Pixel 2 in daylight video recording, because of stabilization, but the iPhone X seemed to focus better. The iPhone X has the edge in lowlight video. Pixel 2 seemed to have some sort of blur (if you will), in lowlight.
Tough choice, but overall I think I would choose the Pixel as well.
Overall I'd say the iPhone just caters to a larger audience, but I have to say, man...those outdoor photos of the dog that were taken by the Pixel really BLEW my mind
Pixel has good still photos but when recording in 4k the colours are a mess also you didn't show the 4k 60fps on the iPhone. Overall good video keep up the good work.
Yeah the video is rendered in 30fps, so you wouldn't get the full effect of 60fps video.
Grant S I see what you mean
I actually like the pixel’s pics better in most cases, it’s just not worth giving up all the other great qualities of my iPhone X for just that. I think the pixel 2 takes better pics in most cases just because of googles great processing, but as a day to day phone, I’ll take my iPhone hands down.
Wow..so hard to compare..I think both have pros/cons. Sound on Pixel feel like ...mmmm so robotics.on Iphone is more natural but low..4k i.like on iPhone, Pixel is good too....pic quality is hardest one.. 50/50..and I watch this video on my htc u11 and I love the dack on this phone......it's just pleasure to watch your video on this headphones..Great video..and great team here in the comments line.:)
Excellent in depth review of both cameras. You've got a new subscriber 👍
Do the pixel vs Lg v30
Great quality video!! Super helpful!! I'm definitely digging that pixel!
Good stuff grant bro! Awesome idea going to google!
Excellent comparison. Very in depth. Both looked great.
The audio on the iphone x is garbage
+mikeyl114 😂
So you prefer the awful audio on the Pixel? Check 12:45 and on wards. Sounds like the mic is broken.
Another loudness = better person. Would you prefer your phone speaker turned up to 105dB or a nice pair of bookshelf speakers at 90dB?
Rennie Ash its not about the loudness. The mono recording mic sounds muted.
iPhone sounds natural and full to me. The Pixel has annoying noise reduction (good for phone calls, not for video recording!), and horrible equalisation. Compare them at the same level.
Great video! Just what i was looking for! Thanks!
