I hope that Huawei wont change their software to match Google and Iphone, which are forcing you to take photos in one style only. I like freedom of choice. But I also understand many people does not know or care how they want their photos to look and simply like Pixel or Iphone crowd pleasing "Dolly sheep" style. As some people like crowd pleasing menu of McDonalds and some simply like to make their own meal. :)
Matthew Moniz A lot of software its already there but people are lazy to hit that zoom button or try different modes like "night mode" A.K.A. Huawei's version of Pixel HDR+ mode or forced HDR. Or find right correct focus distance for front camera. :)
MRUBHIGH True more work than just hitting shutter button, you have to push more buttons. :) But still much less work than trying teach people to understand basics of photography. Reward for pushing more buttons is freedom. Something you do not have on Pixel and Iphone. When you are limited to one style only. I understand that many people may prefer to be limited and rely on SW to take same style photo every time and it may be what they want. Personally I value more creativity. Because you can take a photo of exactly same place in many different ways. Such a photos have soul, something special that Pixel and Iphone with their crowd pleasing forced full-auto alghorytms never be able to achieve. 100 people will take exactly 100 same photos of that same place, one just like another. Photos without personality. Like from some factory. Quite sad from artistic point of view. Dont you think? :)
I'm a bit confused with this video. Whilst I agree with everything he's saying and agree with the results he's showing, I have no idea what modes he is using for the P20 Pro. He shows one pic where he talks about the 40 MP sensor, but it's become pretty common knowledge now that shooting in 40 MP is not where the P20 Pro camera shines. It's the 10mp auto mode where most of the photos come out great. Same with the low light shots. Those are obviously a bit better than the Pixel 2 XL, but is he using the actual 'Night Mode' on the P20 Pro when he's shooting these? Could definitely do a better job in advising the viewer of these details as that could dramatically alter the output of the P20 Pro from what other reviewers have been saying in their camera videos. I also can't believe he's done a camera review and not shown results with the 3x optical zoom and 5 x hybrid zoom. Could do better I think...
well said...i think P20 pro is impressive when taking photos at 10MP by using so called light fusion....and it shines in low light and zooming capabilities are amazing!.Review it again Moniz LOL
Why would I show the zoom if the pixel can't do it ? Nothing to compare. As for the photos they're all taken on auto except for the one where I zoom in and show more detail using the 40 mp sensor.
Matthew Moniz defensive. Constructive criticism? And maybe add that to comments then so it’s clearer? Or are we meant to just know or something. Also, it’s a camera comparison vid isn’t it so why not talk about the differences such as the zoom function? Sheesh.
The P20 Pro is hands down the best low light camera phone. Try to force HDR on the P20 Pro and do the comparison again to give it a chance. The Pixel is still very impressive in every single aspect.
The P20 Pro is much slower in low light (due to the multi frame image processing/"long exposure") and also shows very ugly ghosting. Furthermore the Pixel 2 has a mode called HDR+ enhanced. So when you don't make a Auto comparison, but with Night Mode, then you also need to choose Google's HDR+ enhanced mode.
p20 pro would be great on low light but you need to hold for 6sec.....i do not know how stable you need to hold it tho....i mean it doesn't have stabilization...so...
Outstanding video. Exactly what I was looking for. Totally unexpected results. I have the Pixel 2 XL and was contemplating switching to the P20 Pro, but now I will stick with the Google phone. Thank you so much.
I have seen so many side by side comparisons of the Pixel 2 XL vs the P20 Pro and this is the ONLY person that had results of the P20 Pro not having better sharpness maxing the zoom which really doesnt add up at all...
Here's a comparison between both phones! Let me know your thoughts. Everything was shot on auto except for one pic where I switched it to 40 MP. I do think the P20 Pro has the potential to be better than the pixel it just needs better software processing.
A large majority of folks in tech media have a complete opposite opinion on this comparison . So which is it sir ..... Do you not know how to take a photo or is someone paying you ?
Kevin Walker Because they follow the stupid Dxomark hype like every year and the phone was announced just 1 week ago. It's necessary that a reviewer has its own opinion. Furthermore there are other comparisons that don't show that the Pixel 2 has a worse camera.
i think it comes out as superior in low light shots where the bigger sensor is better. also manual mode im sure is better on huawei cuz of the large sensor.
Dude.. HDR kicks automatically on the pixel.. While it must be chosen on the p20 pro! So, it wasn't really a comparison.. If u can set both of them off and then compare.. Or both on. Jumping from 40 to 10 mp on one camera while the other doesn't have the option! U kept saying that images on the pro looks more pleasant! Pixel and i phone r the best on giving u the true tone images.. But I'll never post any of them without editing on Snapseed or lightroom.
I generally enjoy your reviews and comparisons but either you have a busted unit or something has seriously gone wrong here. Don't get me wrong. Not that the P20 deserves the 109 DxOMark rating and that it's the runaway best camera on a smartphone, however I have not seen the type of results you have here showing up any where else. Not SuperSaf or TechMagnet or anyone else. To be fair the P20 probably in reality should've scored closer to 108 for photos and an 89 at best for video. Funny how DxOMark doesn't even mention the lack of EIS or AIS for 4k video all while calling it's stabilization a touch better than the Pixel 2. I think we can start ignoring their rating system at least to some degree at this point. But back to your video, some weird results going on there.
Timi Akinlonu ok I guess I should be more specific. That terrible purple fringing. The over sharpening makes sense for IG and social media where everything is reduced. But the 40mp shots have much better dynamic range.
Timi Akinlonu and now I have seen it duplicated. I'm all about fairness and it seems other reviewers just took the type of photos where the purple fringing issue didn't show up. My conclusion is that the S9+ should still be the top camera. th-cam.com/video/tXcmfR-0huw/w-d-xo.html
What all you guys are failing to understand is who pays who to do reviews. I’ve watched over ten videos today who showed the same results but with the opposite results. Either the shooter doesn’t know how to take a photo or someone is being paid . The only fact we do know is the hardware on the P20 Pro is 10 times as powerful and most videos I’ve seen with pro photographers the P20 killed the pixel. So take this video with a grain of salt
A large majority of folks in tech media have a complete opposite opinion on this comparison . So which is it sir ..... Do you not know how to take a photo or is someone paying you ?
Shoeb Ahmed Baig wow that may be the most ignorant comment I’ve seen on TH-cam. “All the videos you’ve seen on the pixel 2 comparison are fake and this one is real”.........geez....i rest my case
Morris Okoe like for like? P20 Pro is 128gb so only fair to use the same storage on the Pixel 2 XL Bit since you're asking. Pixel 2Xl is also £799 for the 64gb and its about 6 months old now
Well I dont know but it seems like no matter what Samsung and iPhone and now adding insult to injury Google will be always on the top and the worst thing is they are interconnected to each other in one way or other as well Like seriously DXO mark would be insane before releasing their scores if you know and I know then they know that we know that they screwed And guys these reviews are personal view of the vlogger They are literally not trained professionals yes they are professional vloggers but not trained tech guys, we the spectators and viewers make them doing this Now thing is DXO mark guys are pros and I still can't digest that they will give up on just making a slight more money through short cuts like being paid by OEM To mark them bit higher In longer run it's always bad for business and for every thing Now thing is gsmarena.com is doing their magic and I am their reader since I don't remember and individually camera is way way way promising but I know when it will come to camera comparison shoot out if it's not Sammy or iPhone or Google then it has to suck I have iPhone 7 plus and Mate 9 and I use Mate 9 as my camera device apart for slow motion videos because that's where iPhone shines Now thing is let's talk about options Google software is magical and always on HDR+ is simply awesome Awesome Front facing camera Video stabilization is again superb But monochrome 3x optical zoom hand held night shots 40 mp raw pics 10 MP super samples Very detailed 24 mp front facing camera with softening compromise Plenty of modes That's super super steady 1080p vid Like there are infinite options that you get from p20 pro You have to choose for your self I will rather go with P20P any time but that's my opinion and I am not a tech nerd but I know one thing that when it comes to dynamic range Huawei always did it with shinning colours and that over exposure issues well haven't seen them yet in other reviews and I don't understand it's 2D pic how on earth a dark shadow based pic where highlights are just dark over exposes the pic lolzzzz like seriously either Huawei prepared a special edition mobile software for this guy or may be special edition Mobile softwares to every other reviewers on planet Else I am sick and tired of this bull shit that ppl say about Chinese goods Well I have been there I know them I traded with them and those people are simply genius you pay them high enough and they will make you any thing of any quality you want And what's wrong with Chinese goods nothing and now ppl will say that scum bag spying crap so Google and every other huge crocodile does it too but in better way Peace from UAE
I think the major advantage of the Pixel 2 is hdr+. The P20 Pro doesn't shoot in hdr automatically, it's a shooting mode. So, yeah, I would say it's normal that the Pixel 2 is better.
I think the p20 and p20 pro are more oriented towards professional photography than point-and-shoot. Messing with the ISO, exposure, shutter speed, you will get the best shot, because of the camera hardware.
Lukas Dvorok no, it is simply because the p20 processes pictures in a bad way. Sharpening has nothing to do with zoom. It is an effect that is applied to the picture after the initial captureby software.
Exciting to think what Huawei could improve with some software updates 😊 Nice to see 2018 Samsung & Huawei trying to compete with Google in the mobile camera game!
Let me tell you what's wrong about this entire comparison... The people that are buying the P20 aren't shooting are AUTO. they are shooting in PRO mode. I can almost guarantee you that it is photography-enthusiasts using the P20. And even if they are shooting in AUTO they are adjusting the exposure to level where it's not peaking.
This was one of the best camera review i have ever seen.. Very detailed. Very much explained. Thank you so much! Im rocking a redmi note 4 and have installed a ported Google camera. :) kudos
Huawei's night mode is extremely slow (due to the multi frame noise reduction which they call a "long exposure") and leads to ghosting. And when you don't choose Auto mode, but Night mode, then you can also use Google's HDR+ enhanced mode instead of Auto mode.
Quoutub GSMArena took photo in day with Night Mod for just 1 sec. And they are no ghost problems. Please go on GSMArena and you will see what im saying:www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p20_pro_paris_photo_shoot-review-1744.php
Isko R Extreme ghosting, see cdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/18/huawei-p20-pro-camera-paris/camera/gsmarena_019.jpg cdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/18/huawei-p20-pro-camera-paris/camera/gsmarena_020.jpg cdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/18/huawei-p20-pro-camera-paris/camera/gsmarena_021.jpg
That "purple hue" is not a software issue. It's called fringing or chromatic aberration and happens in high contrast situations with some lenses. Most lens manufacturers put special coatings on their lenses to reduce this.
I Think P.2XL is a real competitor of H.P-20 Pro ... But still P-20 Pro is a King of 2018 ... Good Bye Galaxies , Notes & I phones cuz i found my next phone
Then how come that DR on your pics is so low? Why sky on your pics on P20 Pro is vanished? Also chromatic aberration on trees is happens only with 40mpx mode, but you have it almost on every pic. I have nothing common with your results. On my pics DR on P20 Pro is higher then on Pixel 2 XL - almost on every picture. Something wrong with your comparison.
DR with the P20 Pro in most pics is actually higher than the pixel 2 XL. The problem with the P20 is its inconsistent due to software. If you look at the pic with the belsize bar you can see how AI snapped the shot perfectly with a very blue sky making the pixel 2xl look a little more dull. I think the camera has the potential to be the best I just think Huawei needs to tune the software processing to be more consistent.
Remember guys that DxOMark reviewed the Pixel 2 camera when it initially was launched. I am pretty sure the camera through software updates has improved and the Pixel 2 is much better than the 98 rating it has received.
What mode did you use? 10mp auto mode?? Or the 40mp pro mode? Did you use the AI or not? This all is not really mentioned so the comparison is not that fair to be honest. There are so many comparisons where the P20 Pro shines over the pixel 2 xl. So that’s a bit strange that everybody gets different results... I mean dxo Mark rated the P20 Pro with 114 points as the best still camera ever! Why this result when the pixel 2 xl seems to do the better job in this video? I really don’t get it...
Dennis Schmitz I agree but in a lot of reviews, not only dxo, theverge f.e., the camera was rated as better than the pixel or at least on the same level! So the photos shown here are telling a completely different story and that’s hard to believe.
aldeen1982 will take a look. But the tendency with oversharpening, purple fringing, oversaturation etc seems to be quite clear from what I've seen from other reviews as well.
Can't believe how good the Pixel 2 XL holds it's crown with new flagships phones in 2018, I can't imagine to what levels the new Pixel 3 could take us to
Well done sir. So many remorse about Huawei cameras and look now, it's definitely Huawei need GROWN UP IN CAMERA DEPARTMENT (at least, lool). Nice comparison, thanks.
Alexandros Ch You may be right. Havent seen so pronounced purple hue in any other P20 PRO review yet. Even DXO mentioned some purple color shading in high contrast edges but not so crazy as from Matthews unit. :) Looks like warranty time!
DreamLegendary nah, Huawei fan boys too accept, Google being the best in Software business, for years, but Huawei is getting better for sure, and is brave enough to do something beyond limits, which many brands don't do.
The Pixel 2 XL has better software, yes. But that software is limited by the product's hardware. Software you can be updated through patches; hardware can't. The Huawei P20 has a vastly superior hardware than the Pixel 2 XL. So as Huawei releases more software updates, (or if one were to download many of the other software camera apps available on the market), the Huawei P20 will be the superior camera.
Broseidon: Lord of the Brocean Google has the SKYNET of machine learning on photos taken. Huawei can't compete with that sorry... You'll be waiting for software fixes that still don't keep up with what Google's doing. Then the Pixel 3 will be released with at least 2 lenses? #gameover lol
btw, I think Pixel 2 is just using HDR in every shot, or efficient tone mapping (dynamic range optimization of some sorts), while Huawei is just trying to be flashy with too strong contrast and not using proper tone mapping for scenes (despite the hyped AI scheme)
For all the people saying Moniz is the only one calling out the camera for being over hyped: MrWhoseTheBoss also made his review and said that it wasn't as good as hyped
The trees where purple because of chromatic aberraton (CA), not like you said because of "not applying the right processing to it". CA is result of optics witch can be reduced with processing.
On the second shot, that purple stuff on the tree must be purple fringing... Though the weird thing about it is that, as far as I can tell from all the samples on the internet, that artefact only shows up in 40MP mode, whereas shooting in 10MP the software manages to suppress it every single time. Take a look at those photos from GSMArena, for example, none of those exhibits such a problem. They have been shot in full auto. www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p20_pro_paris_photo_shoot-review-1744p2.php#image4 www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p20_pro_paris_photo_shoot-review-1744p2.php#image5 www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p20_pro_paris_photo_shoot-review-1744p2.php#image24 On the other hand, full-res photo show some noticeable fringing on borderlines of highlights and shadows. Some of thin frames supporting the sealing are turning purple when it should be dark grey/green. www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p20_pro_paris_photo_shoot-review-1744p2.php#image0 Also... no zoom comparison? Like seriously, what the actual . . . . were you even thinking? 3x optical zoom and 5x lossless zoom are one of the biggest factors which distinguish P20 Pro from cameras on other flagship smartphones. I have no idea why on earth you decided to omit this (probably the most important) part. And finally, I really hoped you included the some samples from P20 Pro with AI recognition OFF so that we could compare how it affects the overall picture quality and decide whether it should be enabled or disabled. Overall I felt that this comparison was really incomplete... I expected a lot better than this.
W YW you can stop being a groupie for DXO mark. Go watch MKBHD (arguably the best tech reviewer on TH-cam) and his breakdown of "what's in DXO mark scores" It's a weighted measure with subjective influence, not to mention they only review cameras that companies PAY to have reviewed. It's not the Holy Grail you think it is, it's DEFINITELY good, but you're putting it like it's the BIBLE of smartphone cameras
W YW Look, my cat is doing something funny! Let's take a pic of it! Ah fuck, what iso should I set it at? Damn the shutter speed was too slow, now it's blurry! Next time I'll read the manual before the shot. Ease of use lad. It's really important. Yes, it has the hardware to be the better camera and in certain situations it is, but it *isn't* in most.
Great comparison. It's nice to see a reviewer not going crazy for the latest gear and actually telling it like it is. I have big doubts that Huawei will do anything significant to improve the camera processing. Whereas I have faith that Google will constantly work on improving their camera algorithms. That a single lens, 5-6 month old camera still reigns supreme, says a lot about what Google accomplished last year. Computational photography, not more and more lenses, are what will matter more going forward. Huawei has a mix of both but their AI tricks don't match Google's software savvy.
Having owned both phones, I think my opinion is well placed. The camera on the P20 Pro, when used correctly, is miles ahead of the Pixel 2 XL. The photos are crisp and full of detail and contain less noise than any other phone camera I've used. I found the Pixel 2 XL's camera quite a disappointing improvement from the first Pixel device. Matthew, I'd recommend using the Pro Mode on the P20 Pro and really try and get the most out of the camera, rather than just point and shoot. The Night Shot mode is on another level to any other smartphone camera. 👍
I had the Huawei p20 pro on my hands now and trust me, the camera problems showed here are spot on. An average user will encounter even more problems and no - I am not just too lazy/stupid to use pro mode. I could fix some problems with settings but the major problem, unintended blurry zones, wrong colors and Aquarell like merged surface post processing remains. And tbh I don't see why a high class product should require to switch off its KI just to make an acceptable snapshot. The RAW Fotos should be an exception as well and not the only way out to avoid flawed KI decisions.
The best camera Comparison I've ever seen. U do it the best not gonna lie followed by mkbhd then mrwhosetheboss, please do one for Sony Xperia xz3 vs pixel 2 xl!
U did a better job with the s9 p20 comparison, the pixel shuts on auto hdr all the time, to do apples to apple you should have done hdr photos with the p20, this more out of the box experience than cámara comparison
The Pixel 2 XL is just a beast. Every Android OEM needs to team up with Google and use this software tech. A Pixel with a single 40 MP lens with f 1.6...would be ridiculous. This software is amazing. So it looks like the Pixel 2's only rival was the defunct Nokia Lumia 1020. It handled a single 40 MP lens better than Huawei's offering thus far.
Kay Iqbal i can't tell until i get the device though. For me even mate 10 pro is the best and u know why? Cuz its wide aperture mode works even in low light conditions. It also has wide aperture video where it blurs the background even in the video. pretty much no one talks about it.
This matches what I've seen from both phones. The p20 smokes the pixel in night shots, but those shots are lacking in detail when zoomed and appear very over-processed, especially people. Everyone comes out looking brush painted. In day-light shots, the pixel exposes better and retains far more detail. Which is absurd considering the hardware the p20 is packing. Day shots on p20 sometimes appear ridiculous.
With Camera comparisons on smartphones i usually find myself at odds with the reviewer. Not on this one. I agree 100% with you (and I'm surprised the P20 Pro didn't do better).
Plus, selfie camera have fixed focus which is quite close to device, so you cannot have you arm fully extended to get best shot. Chech out gsmarena preview, they totally nailed focus distance and 24Mpix photos look phenomenal. I havent seen better from selfie camera so far. :)
Great review. P20 Pro good at zooming details & night shot. Other than that Pixel 2XL still the best. Hopefully Pixel 3 will come with dual camera so that I can do 5x hybrid zoom n improve the night mode.
I knew it pixel camera will be better before i even start watch this video,it will be very hard beat pixel 2 camera for long time and that want me to get pixel 3 this year,now i use iphone x. Great video.
Other reviewers were getting better results on the P20 set at 10 MP. 1st time I see that purple hue as well in reviews. Pixel 2 is far better. However I'm happy with my S9 plus. I wasn't aware you were in Toronto, do you live there? I'm in Nova Scotia.
The P20 has the HDR feature just like the Pixel 2 but you have to switch it on manually even in auto mode. So these results are not far and they should be a retest when P20 pro has its release firmware.
1:11 What are you even saying? Processing? it's called chromatic aberration or fringing, if you have lightroom just open the image and slide defringe amount slider under lens corrections. It's normal with sensors that have high pixel density and is easy to fix. PS. it looks like you shoot in auto and default, which means all your shots are 10MP res. Please go to options and set it to 40 and redo the test.
I just love to see the Pixel 2 XL, albeit being the 6-7 months old phone that it is, blasting every phone that tries to challenge his throne as the camera king. I'm starting to think that when the moment will come that Pixel 2's camera will be surpassed, Pixel 3 will be on its way to start wrecking havoc once more xD
I've tried the P20 Pro today and was quite disappointed. I get the impression that the camera is much worse than advertised. It takes quite a long time to take shots under difficult circumstances. The stitching of panoramic photos is horrible. I am quite sure that _this_ review is not a paid one. This is one of the honest type and I thank you for that!
Excellent camera comparison! Damn, Pixel is still a superb camera phone. Software. Software. Software. The sky looks like the sky.
TechLineHD he is paid review
I hope that Huawei wont change their software to match Google and Iphone, which are forcing you to take photos in one style only. I like freedom of choice. But I also understand many people does not know or care how they want their photos to look and simply like Pixel or Iphone crowd pleasing "Dolly sheep" style. As some people like crowd pleasing menu of McDonalds and some simply like to make their own meal. :)
I don't want a fake blue tint on my pics!
TechLineHD yes it is. Photos are maybe the best you can get, but video recording is not best there is... it's pretty good though.
TechLineHD superb might be somewhat overstating it mate :) .
Software > more cameras. Always.
Agreed! They need to fix the sftware and it has the potential to be one of the best cameras
Matthew Moniz A lot of software its already there but people are lazy to hit that zoom button or try different modes like "night mode" A.K.A. Huawei's version of Pixel HDR+ mode or forced HDR. Or find right correct focus distance for front camera. :)
Lukas Dvorok That sounds like a lot of work tbh
MRUBHIGH True more work than just hitting shutter button, you have to push more buttons. :) But still much less work than trying teach people to understand basics of photography. Reward for pushing more buttons is freedom. Something you do not have on Pixel and Iphone. When you are limited to one style only. I understand that many people may prefer to be limited and rely on SW to take same style photo every time and it may be what they want. Personally I value more creativity. Because you can take a photo of exactly same place in many different ways. Such a photos have soul, something special that Pixel and Iphone with their crowd pleasing forced full-auto alghorytms never be able to achieve. 100 people will take exactly 100 same photos of that same place, one just like another. Photos without personality. Like from some factory. Quite sad from artistic point of view. Dont you think? :)
MRUBHIGH Really? One or two two swipes is "a lot of work"?
I think that P20 Pro is better!
I'm a bit confused with this video. Whilst I agree with everything he's saying and agree with the results he's showing, I have no idea what modes he is using for the P20 Pro. He shows one pic where he talks about the 40 MP sensor, but it's become pretty common knowledge now that shooting in 40 MP is not where the P20 Pro camera shines.

well said...i think P20 pro is impressive when taking photos at 10MP by using so called light fusion....and it shines in low light and zooming capabilities are amazing!.Review it again Moniz LOL
Why would I show the zoom if the pixel can't do it ? Nothing to compare. As for the photos they're all taken on auto except for the one where I zoom in and show more detail using the 40 mp sensor.
Matthew Moniz defensive. Constructive criticism? And maybe add that to comments then so it’s clearer? Or are we meant to just know or something. Also, it’s a camera comparison vid isn’t it so why not talk about the differences such as the zoom function? Sheesh.
And the P20 Pro doesn't have ois except on the tele lens, and no stabilization at all in 4k, so how can you compare? ;)
Jesper Klintestam lol right? Strange ol’ logic. :)
The P20 Pro is hands down the best low light camera phone.
Try to force HDR on the P20 Pro and do the comparison again to give it a chance.
The Pixel is still very impressive in every single aspect.
The P20 Pro is much slower in low light (due to the multi frame image processing/"long exposure") and also shows very ugly ghosting. Furthermore the Pixel 2 has a mode called HDR+ enhanced. So when you don't make a Auto comparison, but with Night Mode, then you also need to choose Google's HDR+ enhanced mode.
Quoutub What the P20 Pro lacks can easily be added in post.
The Pixel 2 has overall the best camera anyway. It's good in every single way
S9 f/1.5 is still the best low light camera phone.
p20 pro would be great on low light but you need to hold for 6sec.....i do not know how stable you need to hold it tho....i mean it doesn't have stabilization...so...
P20pro low light shots are not natural, too bright and less detailed.
Idk why but there is a lot more difference in the photos when compared to other people comparisons.
he is paid by pixel
mohammad khalil So, according to you all Mac users are biased towards Apple? 😂😂....Simple fact is P20 Pro not good enough for Pixel 2.
Outstanding video. Exactly what I was looking for. Totally unexpected results. I have the Pixel 2 XL and was contemplating switching to the P20 Pro, but now I will stick with the Google phone.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome! Glad I could help = )
I have seen so many side by side comparisons of the Pixel 2 XL vs the P20 Pro and this is the ONLY person that had results of the P20 Pro not having better sharpness maxing the zoom which really doesnt add up at all...
He turned on the auto HDR+ but turned off HDR on Huawei
No comparison against Pixel
You're not using the P20 camera properly, misleading review
Big fan of camera comparisons as you know👌🏿😁 awesome job Matt. Pixel 2 is legit still
Thanks man! Have you had a chance to test both?
Matthew Moniz just pulled the trigger on the Pixel 2 as a personal phone now. I should be able to test both next week and have a video up🙏🏿
Lover Of Tech done it first dude
Here's a comparison between both phones! Let me know your thoughts. Everything was shot on auto except for one pic where I switched it to 40 MP. I do think the P20 Pro has the potential to be better than the pixel it just needs better software processing.
A large majority of folks in tech media have a complete opposite opinion on this comparison .
So which is it sir ..... Do you not know how to take a photo or is someone paying you ?
Kevin Walker Because they follow the stupid Dxomark hype like every year and the phone was announced just 1 week ago. It's necessary that a reviewer has its own opinion. Furthermore there are other comparisons that don't show that the Pixel 2 has a worse camera.
Matthew Moniz do app camera comparison..like snapchat and whatsapp...pixel visual core is never presented in any reviews
Matthew Moniz U should use p20 with 40mp..dont use the 10mp
i think it comes out as superior in low light shots where the bigger sensor is better. also manual mode im sure is better on huawei cuz of the large sensor.
Dude.. HDR kicks automatically on the pixel.. While it must be chosen on the p20 pro!
So, it wasn't really a comparison.. If u can set both of them off and then compare.. Or both on.
Jumping from 40 to 10 mp on one camera while the other doesn't have the option!
U kept saying that images on the pro looks more pleasant!
Pixel and i phone r the best on giving u the true tone images.. But I'll never post any of them without editing on Snapseed or lightroom.
I generally enjoy your reviews and comparisons but either you have a busted unit or something has seriously gone wrong here. Don't get me wrong. Not that the P20 deserves the 109 DxOMark rating and that it's the runaway best camera on a smartphone, however I have not seen the type of results you have here showing up any where else. Not SuperSaf or TechMagnet or anyone else. To be fair the P20 probably in reality should've scored closer to 108 for photos and an 89 at best for video. Funny how DxOMark doesn't even mention the lack of EIS or AIS for 4k video all while calling it's stabilization a touch better than the Pixel 2. I think we can start ignoring their rating system at least to some degree at this point. But back to your video, some weird results going on there.
I've seen multiple comparisons and the P20 Pro stays consistent with what I am seeing here. Too much oversharpens in 10mp mode and is too dark in 40mp
Timi Akinlonu ok I guess I should be more specific. That terrible purple fringing. The over sharpening makes sense for IG and social media where everything is reduced. But the 40mp shots have much better dynamic range.
Timi Akinlonu and now I have seen it duplicated. I'm all about fairness and it seems other reviewers just took the type of photos where the purple fringing issue didn't show up. My conclusion is that the S9+ should still be the top camera. th-cam.com/video/tXcmfR-0huw/w-d-xo.html
Same hear. I also believe S9+ should be the top camera and in the video you showed me the purple fringing was visible
Rara85 I absolutelly agree with you. I think, that he dont like Huawei simply.... (I have HTC now)
What all you guys are failing to understand is who pays who to do reviews. I’ve watched over ten videos today who showed the same results but with the opposite results. Either the shooter doesn’t know how to take a photo or someone is being paid . The only fact we do know is the hardware on the P20 Pro is 10 times as powerful and most videos I’ve seen with pro photographers the P20 killed the pixel. So take this video with a grain of salt
I'd love to see these videos! Please feel free to share them with me = )
"Either the shooter doesn’t know how to take a photo or someone is being paid "
Absolute facts bro !
A large majority of folks in tech media have a complete opposite opinion on this comparison .
So which is it sir ..... Do you not know how to take a photo or is someone paying you ?
keith Whitman this is the first ever comparison video of pixel 2 and p20 pro..rest are fake
Shoeb Ahmed Baig wow that may be the most ignorant comment I’ve seen on TH-cam. “All the videos you’ve seen on the pixel 2 comparison are fake and this one is real”.........geez....i rest my case
Just dont believe this results
João Teixeira y shouldn't I?
yea bias review
Mais é a verdade:)
Apologize for the voice? What’s wrong with you voice? You sound amazing as always!! Haha.
Wow, I expected much more out of the P20 Pro especially given the insane price.
Jonathan Casey what insane price? It's cheaper to buy than the Pixel 2 XL
Can u please show me where it's cheaper than the pixel 2xl,some of you just type anything u don't even know
Morris Okoe Pixel 2 XL 128gb is £899
P20 Pro is £799 with free Bose Wireless headphones worth £320
(Carphone Warehouse in the UK)
So umm?
Why aren't you quoting the 64gb version prices for the pixel 2xl, come on man
Morris Okoe like for like?
P20 Pro is 128gb so only fair to use the same storage on the Pixel 2 XL
Bit since you're asking. Pixel 2Xl is also £799 for the 64gb and its about 6 months old now
Well I dont know but it seems like no matter what Samsung and iPhone and now adding insult to injury Google will be always on the top and the worst thing is they are interconnected to each other in one way or other as well
Like seriously DXO mark would be insane before releasing their scores if you know and I know then they know that we know that they screwed
And guys these reviews are personal view of the vlogger
They are literally not trained professionals yes they are professional vloggers but not trained tech guys, we the spectators and viewers make them doing this
Now thing is DXO mark guys are pros and I still can't digest that they will give up on just making a slight more money through short cuts like being paid by OEM To mark them bit higher
In longer run it's always bad for business and for every thing
Now thing is gsmarena.com is doing their magic and I am their reader since I don't remember and individually camera is way way way promising but I know when it will come to camera comparison shoot out if it's not Sammy or iPhone or Google then it has to suck
I have iPhone 7 plus and Mate 9 and I use Mate 9 as my camera device apart for slow motion videos because that's where iPhone shines
Now thing is let's talk about options
Google software is magical and always on HDR+ is simply awesome
Awesome Front facing camera
Video stabilization is again superb
But monochrome
3x optical zoom
hand held night shots
40 mp raw pics
10 MP super samples
Very detailed 24 mp front facing camera with softening compromise
Plenty of modes
That's super super steady 1080p vid
Like there are infinite options that you get from p20 pro
You have to choose for your self I will rather go with P20P any time but that's my opinion and I am not a tech nerd but I know one thing that when it comes to dynamic range Huawei always did it with shinning colours and that over exposure issues well haven't seen them yet in other reviews and I don't understand it's 2D pic how on earth a dark shadow based pic where highlights are just dark over exposes the pic lolzzzz like seriously either Huawei prepared a special edition mobile software for this guy or may be special edition Mobile softwares to every other reviewers on planet
Else I am sick and tired of this bull shit that ppl say about Chinese goods
Well I have been there I know them I traded with them and those people are simply genius you pay them high enough and they will make you any thing of any quality you want
And what's wrong with Chinese goods nothing and now ppl will say that scum bag spying crap so Google and every other huge crocodile does it too but in better way
Peace from UAE
I think the major advantage of the Pixel 2 is hdr+. The P20 Pro doesn't shoot in hdr automatically, it's a shooting mode. So, yeah, I would say it's normal that the Pixel 2 is better.
I think the p20 and p20 pro are more oriented towards professional photography than point-and-shoot. Messing with the ISO, exposure, shutter speed, you will get the best shot, because of the camera hardware.
Marco Ysn fuck the bottom bezels and notch ulgy looking phone
dude what is wrong with you
Marco Ysn Umm nope. There are no professionals out there who use phones for professional photography
You got my point. The P20 is not a point-and-shoot, that's all
oh not sure if you noticed, during shooting but in 10mp mode on the p20 there is some over sharpening on images
NonsensicalVids Absolutely.. he forget that..moniz?
Of course... Because they are not ment for cropping or zooming into. Thats why you have 3x optical and 5x hybrid zoom. :)
Lukas Dvorok no, it is simply because the p20 processes pictures in a bad way. Sharpening has nothing to do with zoom. It is an effect that is applied to the picture after the initial captureby software.
Exciting to think what Huawei could improve with some software updates 😊 Nice to see 2018 Samsung & Huawei trying to compete with Google in the mobile camera game!
Let me tell you what's wrong about this entire comparison... The people that are buying the P20 aren't shooting are AUTO. they are shooting in PRO mode. I can almost guarantee you that it is photography-enthusiasts using the P20. And even if they are shooting in AUTO they are adjusting the exposure to level where it's not peaking.
99% of people who buy this phone or any phone will be shooting in auto
+HDR
Matthew Moniz I highly disagree...
Software beats mega pixels!
BIG LIKE for this . Awesomee. I've waited for this comparisson
This was one of the best camera review i have ever seen.. Very detailed. Very much explained. Thank you so much! Im rocking a redmi note 4 and have installed a ported Google camera. :) kudos
Try to use in P20 Pro Night Mod in day and you will see how much better HDR have P20 Pro then Pixel Xl 2
Isko R why should you have to do that when the pixel is a beast without having to fiddle with a pro mode? Stop making excuses
DreeTheGodd I don't want that. But if you want very food photos you need to know how to shot. Go look on GSMarena what in saying.
Huawei's night mode is extremely slow (due to the multi frame noise reduction which they call a "long exposure") and leads to ghosting. And when you don't choose Auto mode, but Night mode, then you can also use Google's HDR+ enhanced mode instead of Auto mode.
Quoutub GSMArena took photo in day with Night Mod for just 1 sec. And they are no ghost problems. Please go on GSMArena and you will see what im saying:www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p20_pro_paris_photo_shoot-review-1744.php

Great as always Matthew! Hoping for your final review on P20 Pro.
Thanks Luis ! =)
That "purple hue" is not a software issue. It's called fringing or chromatic aberration and happens in high contrast situations with some lenses. Most lens manufacturers put special coatings on their lenses to reduce this.
7:07 the p20 pro doesn't have ois
Still gonna buy the p20 pro but i know that pixel's front facing camera is really good
I Think P.2XL is a real competitor of H.P-20 Pro ... But still P-20 Pro is a King of 2018 ... Good Bye Galaxies , Notes & I phones cuz i found my next phone
Seems that author forgot to turn on AI assistant for HDR (and other scenarios). ULTRA LAME.
AI was on the entire time. I even talk about how the phone detects the blue sky and increases the contrast of the blue.
Then how come that DR on your pics is so low? Why sky on your pics on P20 Pro is vanished? Also chromatic aberration on trees is happens only with 40mpx mode, but you have it almost on every pic. I have nothing common with your results. On my pics DR on P20 Pro is higher then on Pixel 2 XL - almost on every picture. Something wrong with your comparison.
DR with the P20 Pro in most pics is actually higher than the pixel 2 XL. The problem with the P20 is its inconsistent due to software. If you look at the pic with the belsize bar you can see how AI snapped the shot perfectly with a very blue sky making the pixel 2xl look a little more dull. I think the camera has the potential to be the best I just think Huawei needs to tune the software processing to be more consistent.
your sample is on L29 8.1.0.106?
The European one. The ones they gave us after the Paris event. lll show pics and send you the model number on Monday when I get to the studio.
Before you take photos adjust the phones in pro settings and then compare the phones. It feels like I witnessed a Google Pixel 2XL advertisement.
Remember guys that DxOMark reviewed the Pixel 2 camera when it initially was launched. I am pretty sure the camera through software updates has improved and the Pixel 2 is much better than the 98 rating it has received.
What mode did you use? 10mp auto mode?? Or the 40mp pro mode? Did you use the AI or not? This all is not really mentioned so the comparison is not that fair to be honest. There are so many comparisons where the P20 Pro shines over the pixel 2 xl. So that’s a bit strange that everybody gets different results... I mean dxo Mark rated the P20 Pro with 114 points as the best still camera ever! Why this result when the pixel 2 xl seems to do the better job in this video? I really don’t get it...
Maybe DXO is biased? Saw these issues on every test - even where reviewers liked the P20 Pro more.
Dennis Schmitz I agree but in a lot of reviews, not only dxo, theverge f.e., the camera was rated as better than the pixel or at least on the same level! So the photos shown here are telling a completely different story and that’s hard to believe.
aldeen1982 will take a look. But the tendency with oversharpening, purple fringing, oversaturation etc seems to be quite clear from what I've seen from other reviews as well.
Can't believe how good the Pixel 2 XL holds it's crown with new flagships phones in 2018, I can't imagine to what levels the new Pixel 3 could take us to
Well done sir. So many remorse about Huawei cameras and look now, it's definitely Huawei need GROWN UP IN CAMERA DEPARTMENT (at least, lool). Nice comparison, thanks.
I can only imagine how amazing the Pixel 3 pictures and video quality will be when its release later this yr.
great *test*
This is the first video I’m seeing where p20pro is totally off... maybe there’s something wrong with your device or the settings
It's possible!
Its not in 40mbp he should delete this and start again
it shouldn't be in 40mp..... 10mp is where the camera shines
Alexandros Ch You may be right. Havent seen so pronounced purple hue in any other P20 PRO review yet. Even DXO mentioned some purple color shading in high contrast edges but not so crazy as from Matthews unit. :) Looks like warranty time!
Looks like Huawei just isn't as good as DXO promises?
best comparison ever thanks for the great efforts
You're welcome ! Thanks for watching ;
Great video, but just for the record OIS is a hardware feature and cannot be disabled by software. It's only that the P20 doesn't have EIS in 4K.
Good comparison, upload the images to flickr to view them at their highest resolution, greetings from Argentina
Oh shit SHOTS FIRED. I think you're gonna get P20 fanboys RAGING over this video 😂😂😂
DreamLegendary where are they? 😂
Red Hood keep scrolling they're all over the place
DreamLegendary nah, Huawei fan boys too accept, Google being the best in Software business, for years, but Huawei is getting better for sure, and is brave enough to do something beyond limits, which many brands don't do.
The Pixel 2 XL has better software, yes. But that software is limited by the product's hardware. Software you can be updated through patches; hardware can't.
The Huawei P20 has a vastly superior hardware than the Pixel 2 XL. So as Huawei releases more software updates, (or if one were to download many of the other software camera apps available on the market), the Huawei P20 will be the superior camera.
Broseidon: Lord of the Brocean Google has the SKYNET of machine learning on photos taken. Huawei can't compete with that sorry... You'll be waiting for software fixes that still don't keep up with what Google's doing. Then the Pixel 3 will be released with at least 2 lenses?
#gameover lol
Love your channel I'm new here. One of the best camera Comparisons I've ever seen.
@1:15 thats called purple fringing. Which is when you get purple colour in high contrast boundary areas.
btw, I think Pixel 2 is just using HDR in every shot, or efficient tone mapping (dynamic range optimization of some sorts), while Huawei is just trying to be flashy with too strong contrast and not using proper tone mapping for scenes (despite the hyped AI scheme)
For all the people saying Moniz is the only one calling out the camera for being over hyped:
MrWhoseTheBoss also made his review and said that it wasn't as good as hyped
The trees where purple because of chromatic aberraton (CA), not like you said because of "not applying the right processing to it". CA is result of optics witch can be reduced with processing.
The soft needs to be rectified. The advantages of the large sensor need to be properly exploited. Or just shoot RAW...
I would still recommend this phone. You could easily tweak the settings, and if you can't do that, there's plenty of camera software to help out.
Poorly tested. You're not using P20 Pro right. Any of my pictures taken by this phone is far better than yours.
That Pixel 2 XL slayed! ❤️
Remember that Pixel has 1 Camera where Huawei has 3😂😂😂
On the second shot, that purple stuff on the tree must be purple fringing... Though the weird thing about it is that, as far as I can tell from all the samples on the internet, that artefact only shows up in 40MP mode, whereas shooting in 10MP the software manages to suppress it every single time. Take a look at those photos from GSMArena, for example, none of those exhibits such a problem. They have been shot in full auto.

On the other hand, full-res photo show some noticeable fringing on borderlines of highlights and shadows. Some of thin frames supporting the sealing are turning purple when it should be dark grey/green.
www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p20_pro_paris_photo_shoot-review-1744p2.php#image0
Also... no zoom comparison? Like seriously, what the actual . . . . were you even thinking? 3x optical zoom and 5x lossless zoom are one of the biggest factors which distinguish P20 Pro from cameras on other flagship smartphones. I have no idea why on earth you decided to omit this (probably the most important) part.
And finally, I really hoped you included the some samples from P20 Pro with AI recognition OFF so that we could compare how it affects the overall picture quality and decide whether it should be enabled or disabled. Overall I felt that this comparison was really incomplete... I expected a lot better than this.
Just imagine how pixel 3 is gonna be....Eagerlyyyy waiting for it😍😍
Something seems wrong
Always VIRAL yeah, the p20 not as good as some people that, that's what's wrong
W YW yeah cause if you're not willing to get a bachelors degree in using your smartphone camera, WHY EVEN BUY ONE RIGHT??
MrWhoseTheBoss also showed the failings of the P20 camera
W YW you can stop being a groupie for DXO mark. Go watch MKBHD (arguably the best tech reviewer on TH-cam) and his breakdown of "what's in DXO mark scores"
It's a weighted measure with subjective influence, not to mention they only review cameras that companies PAY to have reviewed.
It's not the Holy Grail you think it is, it's DEFINITELY good, but you're putting it like it's the BIBLE of smartphone cameras
W YW Look, my cat is doing something funny! Let's take a pic of it! Ah fuck, what iso should I set it at? Damn the shutter speed was too slow, now it's blurry! Next time I'll read the manual before the shot. Ease of use lad. It's really important. Yes, it has the hardware to be the better camera and in certain situations it is, but it *isn't* in most.
This video clearly proves that never trust DxoMark scores... Benchmarks differ fron real world performance...
Your video actually helped me make a decision. Thank you! Goin for Pixel 2XL
You're very welcome!
Great job as always 😍
Wow that was a very nice review Matthew, the difference on the camera is quite big if you need good quality shots like me.
Sometimes i feel 2 mobiles of the same model who have the same camera shoot lightly different pictures. Maybe each sensor has individual properties.
great comparison more people should be doing this. software really matters but so does hardware. the king will be whoever masters both.
Great comparison. It's nice to see a reviewer not going crazy for the latest gear and actually telling it like it is. I have big doubts that Huawei will do anything significant to improve the camera processing. Whereas I have faith that Google will constantly work on improving their camera algorithms.
That a single lens, 5-6 month old camera still reigns supreme, says a lot about what Google accomplished last year. Computational photography, not more and more lenses, are what will matter more going forward. Huawei has a mix of both but their AI tricks don't match Google's software savvy.
Having owned both phones, I think my opinion is well placed.
The camera on the P20 Pro, when used correctly, is miles ahead of the Pixel 2 XL. The photos are crisp and full of detail and contain less noise than any other phone camera I've used.
I found the Pixel 2 XL's camera quite a disappointing improvement from the first Pixel device.
Matthew, I'd recommend using the Pro Mode on the P20 Pro and really try and get the most out of the camera, rather than just point and shoot.
The Night Shot mode is on another level to any other smartphone camera. 👍
...Bottom left shadow on both pictures suddenly seems photo shopped at 4:11 compared to earlier..
I had the Huawei p20 pro on my hands now and trust me, the camera problems showed here are spot on. An average user will encounter even more problems and no - I am not just too lazy/stupid to use pro mode. I could fix some problems with settings but the major problem, unintended blurry zones, wrong colors and Aquarell like merged surface post processing remains. And tbh I don't see why a high class product should require to switch off its KI just to make an acceptable snapshot. The RAW Fotos should be an exception as well and not the only way out to avoid flawed KI decisions.
Great review Matthew..! Love the details.
I love a man with a confident personality > Matthew Moniz
The best camera Comparison I've ever seen. U do it the best not gonna lie followed by mkbhd then mrwhosetheboss, please do one for Sony Xperia xz3 vs pixel 2 xl!
Thanks man! I plan to when I get my hands on the XZ3!
@@MatthewMoniz im waiting for the video
This is one of the only videos, where there is a drastic difference between both phones. I wonder why!
Accept it Huawei fans - Pixel 2 remains the best all-round camera phone in spite your wishful thinking.
The purple is color fringing. Usually appear on the edge of very bright objects with cheaper lenses.
Great video! Red hue probably can be adjusted in the editing software.
U did a better job with the s9 p20 comparison, the pixel shuts on auto hdr all the time, to do apples to apple you should have done hdr photos with the p20, this more out of the box experience than cámara comparison
The Pixel 2 XL is just a beast. Every Android OEM needs to team up with Google and use this software tech. A Pixel with a single 40 MP lens with f 1.6...would be ridiculous. This software is amazing.
So it looks like the Pixel 2's only rival was the defunct Nokia Lumia 1020. It handled a single 40 MP lens better than Huawei's offering thus far.
Makes me think how insane the pixel 3 camera is going to be !
Matthew Moniz Yeah. I want Google to stick with a single large lens and improving software.
Thank you for the video! Glad I got my Pixel 2 XL.
I called it, just hype for the sake of having 3 cameras. That's TH-cam tech community for you.
isn't p20 pro on pre released software now?
Sheikh Suleiman it's quite possible the camera is still going to get an update if it does I'll definitely revisit
i hope it does cuz from the pictures u showed, p20 pro is really not that impressive
Sheikh Suleiman I don't think so considering they sent the same devices to dxomark whose review people does consider unfortunately.
Kay Iqbal i can't tell until i get the device though. For me even mate 10 pro is the best and u know why? Cuz its wide aperture mode works even in low light conditions. It also has wide aperture video where it blurs the background even in the video. pretty much no one talks about it.
Everyone nows that, this is just a not serious review
This matches what I've seen from both phones. The p20 smokes the pixel in night shots, but those shots are lacking in detail when zoomed and appear very over-processed, especially people. Everyone comes out looking brush painted. In day-light shots, the pixel exposes better and retains far more detail. Which is absurd considering the hardware the p20 is packing. Day shots on p20 sometimes appear ridiculous.
*Why He is Soo Biased To Pixel ??*
How Much *Google* Pays For You ????
With Camera comparisons on smartphones i usually find myself at odds with the reviewer. Not on this one. I agree 100% with you (and I'm surprised the P20 Pro didn't do better).
Thanks Will!
Plus, selfie camera have fixed focus which is quite close to device, so you cannot have you arm fully extended to get best shot. Chech out gsmarena preview, they totally nailed focus distance and 24Mpix photos look phenomenal. I havent seen better from selfie camera so far. :)
Great comparison. For two phones out of the Box. I’m sorry but nothing compares to the XL 2.
All that with one front and one rear camera ... DAMNNNN!!!!
how is the comparrison at night with the new mode "night sight"
Great review. P20 Pro good at zooming details & night shot. Other than that Pixel 2XL still the best. Hopefully Pixel 3 will come with dual camera so that I can do 5x hybrid zoom n improve the night mode.
Can you clearly list the bottom line from the following aspect: Which smart phone gives more natural images?
I knew it pixel camera will be better before i even start watch this video,it will be very hard beat pixel 2 camera for long time and that want me to get pixel 3 this year,now i use iphone x. Great video.
Other reviewers were getting better results on the P20 set at 10 MP. 1st time I see that purple hue as well in reviews. Pixel 2 is far better. However I'm happy with my S9 plus. I wasn't aware you were in Toronto, do you live there? I'm in Nova Scotia.
The P20 has the HDR feature just like the Pixel 2 but you have to switch it on manually even in auto mode. So these results are not far and they should be a retest when P20 pro has its release firmware.
Y'all just don't understand. The pixel 2 camera just keeps getting better and better lol this damn phone is too damn smart!
1:11 What are you even saying? Processing? it's called chromatic aberration or fringing, if you have lightroom just open the image and slide defringe amount slider under lens corrections. It's normal with sensors that have high pixel density and is easy to fix. PS. it looks like you shoot in auto and default, which means all your shots are 10MP res. Please go to options and set it to 40 and redo the test.
I just love to see the Pixel 2 XL, albeit being the 6-7 months old phone that it is, blasting every phone that tries to challenge his throne as the camera king. I'm starting to think that when the moment will come that Pixel 2's camera will be surpassed, Pixel 3 will be on its way to start wrecking havoc once more xD
I've tried the P20 Pro today and was quite disappointed. I get the impression that the camera is much worse than advertised. It takes quite a long time to take shots under difficult circumstances. The stitching of panoramic photos is horrible. I am quite sure that _this_ review is not a paid one. This is one of the honest type and I thank you for that!
Remember how dxo gave the P20 Pro 11 more points than the pixel? This is why I don’t trust them
Did you keep the HDR on for all the pixel 2 photographs? If yes then in which mode? HDR+ or HDR+ Advanced?
That purple haze tribute 😂😂😂😂
Pixel is still killing it 💪
Plus, please stop cropping and start using that 3x optical or 5x hybrid zoom if you want to compare zoomed detail! :D
i don't think that purple hue is from the software, it's the lens
