I now learned that Max and Vadim are different people
I tought they were the same person lol
😂they are brothers
I learnt it during the first lockdown.
Omg 😱
Always Has been👩🚀🔫👩🚀
People always pick the brighter image as better
true 😂
They don't like natural photos
@@olegb5061 thats why the iphones are known to have best cameras!! And also if you are a content creator then all that matters is video and pics which are appealing to the viewers eyes,thats why iphones are recommended( I guess) doesn't matter if its natural or not! I like iphone pics cause of this reason,if we ignore this factor then in most of the cases pixel would have won cause of more details
@@___rare___ tbh I don't always like iPhones style because sometimes it makes the whole thing look like it came from a deep fryer but it works most of the time i guess, Samsung I heard, also saturates their pics, but in a different way
@@olegb5061 it all comes down to what you prefer, picture quality preferences are subjective,so for everyone the winner of this video will be different, what matters is what a wide number of people actually like, and I guess a wide number of people prefer iphone photos
I found on the internet that Huawei,google, apple and Samsung makes good camera phones(by good camera I mean whose picture quality is awesome)
Pixel always give the true color.
iPhone colors are unrealistic but nice.
As a photographer I'm so use to editing each photo that I didn't mind any of the dark pixel photos. It was only the low light shots that bothered me
I hate editing, but I'd choose greater dynamic range and not blowing out highlights any day. A dark image if it contains enough detail can be fixed, a blown out shot can't.
Than 5a should be bothering you because 5a has remove Laser Auto Focus module if compare with precessor Pixel 5 or 4a 5G.
Dude I will say next gen pixels will be far better than the current ones, let's hope Tensor and finally new camera sensors do the trick.
Me too, the slightly underexposed shots are easily correctable. With the iPhone I can see myself spending more time getting rid aqua cast on day time shots and dialing down the colors to be on the more toned down side.
the shots were just bad, i find pixel's night mode better than iphone's because of the "flexibility" you can have with it
500 dollar difference though.......idk I think pixel won
It's comparing to the regular iPhone 12, so not $500 difference. $250-$300 not sure how much the iPhone 12 cost.
@@이소니 dont speak then
@@이소니 iPhone 12 costs 799$ and pixel 5a costs 449$ so 799-449= 349$ difference
@@naviimandiv8407 yes I know, I was replying to the original comment saying the iphone 12 cost $500 more. I have both phones so I don't care who wins or lose. I was correcting the original comment that it's not a $500 difference.
@@이소니 just shut up
Considering the price difference, Pixel killed it! Super excited for Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
Could really tell it's biased. Never encountered that lightning in the last photo. I've had 3 pixels since 2018
It really happens sometimes. Got few photos like that on my Pixel 4. I knew that it's pixel on the left the moment picture appeared.
🤯🤯🤯🤯There were 2 different persons all along. That's some "The Prestige" moment.
Like yooooo
Nothings real anymore
When you've been a sub for ages and thought the dudes WERE THE SAME PERSON!!!!
I thought the they were same too
yeah i did too until a little while back when they made the video of why apple didn’t launch the macbook pros in the event they had a while back
He just oscillates through space extremely quickly.
@@Oleg__ I think this is just really poor attempt at humor. These comments pop up on every single one of their videos..
I am one of them. Literally learned now. Mind blowing!
Let’s not forget Pixel 5a is only $449 and the cheapest iPhone 12 model retails for $729
@Alberto Rodriguez Lol no
Up front price is a big win for the Pixel, but the resale value of the pixel will be nonexistent ($350 resale value by next year, and it's already 1 year after its launch.
Yes but the SE starts at $400
@Alberto Rodriguez I like iOS but your comment is cringe.
Android is a fine operating system as long as you're willing to take time to tweak certain settings and adjust them to your liking.
And iPhone hardware is great, but no longer light years ahead of the competition. Samsung Ultra level phones are on par if not better built than iPhones. Where iPhone really shines is the non Pro model price segment (600-1000 USD), because Samsung has decided to water down the regular Note 20 / S21 with plastic construction
It’s still same camera from pixel 5 which is similar price
Sandness in their eyes everytime apple loses
I think they want iphone to win in all categories but truth is bitter
Choosing the worst pic to enhance the difference
I am a photoshop user not a experienced one but enough to say that some shots with iphone were de noised. How am i sure because when you see the image with the American flag at 9:17 the iPhone lost all details and colors and pixel is less sharp. And my friend owns an iphone 12 pro, at portrait it struggles to blurr between legs and here there iphone 12 not pro is blurring fucking centimeters.
@@ayushmourya8786 so in simple language you want to tell he edited iPhone pics
@@sherlock8492 yes sir
OMG!! These are two different guys. Feels like my whole life was a lie. 😵😂
Haven't you seen all the previous videos
you are not alone
Is this the first video of theirs that you've seen or are you trying to be funny?
Same here
@@corgikun2579 lpppp
I saw a constant trend of Pixel taking high dynamic range photos which sometimes made subject underexposed. But one thing max could do is using live dual exposure dials you can tweak hdr in real time on Pixel. Also I didn't like constant yellow tint on human faces on iphone and was little more warmer than required
These people are not photographer. They are picking the photos like an ameture lol
It's important to remember the iPhone is MUCH more expansive than the Pixel, so imo the Pixel did great. I just wish they'd fix the underexposure.
yeah the whole comparison doesn't make much sense. iphone 12 is a junior flagship.
i don't like iphone for some extra editing, so the colors are little warmer than i'd want them to be.
I think pixel makes colors more true to life, even if sometimes it gets cooler.
I don’t know if I’d called $250 “MUCH MORE” expensive
@@christophercrawford2736It is "much more" lol you could have huge hardware upgrades with an extra 250.
@@kashyap72 well when you compare it to an iPhone 12 Pro Max at $1199, I don’t think the iPhone 12 is MUCH more.
This is an unfair comparison. Should be doing iPhone SE vs Pixel 5a. The fact that the Pixel is even competitive shows that it's a good value product.
I’m actually shocked at how many times the 5a looks better wtf
@@iwilitu6591 😂
Well not being bias but 90 percent of the shots of pixel was better then iphone from my perspective, iphone is just white washing stuff, pixel tries to bring detail except the night part
@@yuvrajmishra522 did you even look at the subjects in the photos?
@@Non_Member_13 mostly dont be a fanbaby, iphone are costly and pixel is cheap, but the cam in daytime beats iphone in every perspective, the details are maintained and pushed harder, for night time i will give it to the iphone,
In this review it feels like once they got to know which is iphone they always chose that one .
After having a 4a for a while, I can definitely say that the shortcomings of the 5a can be compensated for by raising the exposure and using the phone's photo editor to blur the backgrounds of portraits
13:13 - That one is just so dumb. Clearly one of them had the screen flash on and the other didn’t.
I know, very biased to not turn ones self illumination on. Hmmm
It kinda bothered me that they were different shots, though I realise its tricky to do it otherwise. But I have seen camera reviews before where they make a point to take the photo at EXACTLY the same time, so you can be sure the angle, content and lighting are as a close as possible. Even someone turning their head a little (happened in a lot of shots with kids) can alter what exposure is chosen and the processing.
Although honestly I was pleasantly surprised that most of the time I liked the Pixel 5a shots, I had expected iPhone to do better than it did.
Now how does video recording compare?
That one with the kid, where one had the street light in it, and the other one didn't was a complete joke of a comparison, because of course they will adjust VERY differently with an extreme light source in frame vs none.
They don't need to line up perfectly, but they at least need to frame the same subject!!!!
Apple paid for this behind th scenes.
I just feel like this comparison isn't as unbiased as they claim. Cause after lk the 6th photo, whr the pixel was ahead, I could easily tell which photo is iphone and which one is pixel.
Exactly... Not to mention they always pick the brighter photos as if brighter and overexposed=better 🤦
It's mind-blowing that pixel uses same camera hardware from 5 years ago and still compete with flagship phones.
Iphone as well. The main sensors are the same size.
@@AnwarLL they literally upgrade the sensor size, u know that right? they will always mention in their event about upgrade on the lens lol and pixel doesn't, they stay the same hardware about a years for camera
@@QiqiSuki the pixels and all the iphone 12s except for the pro max have the same 1/2.55" main sensor. This is not a debate.
@@AnwarLL literally please check again lol, stop acting right, iphone 11 main wide with f/1.8 while 12 with f/1.6 .... no change huh
@@QiqiSuki 🤦🏾♂️ I specifically said the SENSOR SIZE is the same.
I can't wait for the Pixel 6 Pro to come along and destroy all competition. 😂
You can make every pixel photo better than iphone photos just by increasing the brightness.
Your channel is just mind blowing. You guys deserve 1B subscribers
Thank you!!
For you, who think Max and Vadim are Twins. I can see the difference between them
I tought they were the same person until I got the noti for this vid
the must be brothers or something, their resemblace is too uncanny
Congrats
They are completely different, people who think they look alike need a pair of glasses.
That being said, they're both very "basic Causasian guy" and I also thought they were the same person until I saw them together.
@@michaliskossyfas5862 I am wearing glasses, but I really do think they are like brothers
Till today I thought all three of them were just 1 person. What an eye opening video. I was doing comparison between Max and Vadim.
🤣🤣🤣 all 3 of them
Wow that one photo from pixel that looks exactly like DSLR, So impressive! Either way I’m so excited by how good phone cameras are getting, I have an iPhone 11pro still and this makes me really want an upgrade this year
This channel is biased no matter what lol
Agreed, Apple should sponsor them XD
Pixel 5A comes with 128Gb standard and 6" screen. Iphone 12 with 128GB and 6" screen is $850 which is pretty dang close to double the price of the Pixel 5a at $450.
A 128GB iPhone SE is the same $450 price, but would not come close to competing with the 5A in a camera test. It has no night mode, no UWA, bad digital zoom.
And it's not like the Pixel 5A was horrible here. Just barely lost in most comparison shots due to processing preferences. I would have called many of them a tie, really.
iPhones are great, but at this price, I don't think you can beat the Pixel 5A. If you had enough money to get the iPhone 12, then there are a lot of Android flagships to compare to as well.
I remember your Pixel review that you were so furios about how people love the phone. Now it makes sense by putting that thumbnail for the video. Very unbiased!
just wanted to say that i appreciate all the hard work that all of you do! i enjoy all the comparisons, whether phones, tablets, or computers. keep up the great work!
Imho imx363 still tagging along with latest iPhones at half the price, quite the feat. This just got me more excited for the Pixel 6 with the large GN1 sensors.
Of course I prefer details + sharpness in my photo
Exposure , contrast, shadow, colour temperature, is like a 1 minutes edit
TRUTH: I dint find a big difference in either of the cameras! Both are exceptional. Only depends on which OS u prefer. That's it.
I hear you but you're wrong. The skin tones on the iphone are so much better than the pixel. And using the screen to softly light up a night selfie is genius.
@@k88kee wow, genius? The pixel has self illumination as well. This TH-camr just thinks it's brighter than that of the iphone. We'll use BOTH of the phones illumination and compare them, not use it on one phone and not on the other resulting in a horror photo. This is like using one phone with flash and the other without
I have 19 - 10 in favor of the Pixel. I prefer the cooler tones of the Pixel vs the warmer tones on the iPhone. The Pixel colors feel more representative of real life for me personally. But I'm also a Pixel 3a and 4a user.
Is there a significant difference between the 3a and 4a camera? I'm thinking of buying the 3a because that's what I can afford. lol
@@Unan1mouz no, nothing besides maybe some software
@@Unan1mouz No it's mostly the same, but since the 4a has a significantly faster SoC it processed photos faster. The specs of cameras look to be the same, but in my experience the 4a takes much better selfies. It could just be software improvements that the 3a also received, but I sold mine back in 2019.
holy moly I would have thought this is a biased review if you didn't put unbiased in the video title
I’ve always felt like my camera on my 11 pro max was a lot better than my 12 pro max camera
Hi, I have an idea.You guys could compare the camera performance of pixel 5 and 5a, so that we’ll understand if google is limiting the their software.
We know they don't because we can just look the source code
The last photo, I dont even use a Pixel phone but I use Gcam and never got such a bad photo. You could have done better. Overall my personal preference is to go with the Pixel 5a and the price gap ia huge.
Or the iPhone 11
1:54 i would actually pick the right. the exposure is controlled and i can edit the photo more.
Yes, felt as if these guys recognised which phone is the iphone and chose that. The face on the iphone photo has way less detail than the pixels photo
As MKBHD says, "People always choose the brighter image over a better overall image"
14 for pixel 9 for iPhone. Low exposures don't scare me as photographer always editing.
You guys have created a good channel. Very informative, and fun, and professionally produced, but still feels like friends sitting around talking about these things. I think you guys will get a 1.5 million by the end of the year. ;)
I love how similar those 3 siblings are.
well she's beautiful, the other two guys are horrible
@@corgikun2579 lol
Now Imagine the daylight performance of the Pixel 5a with the night shots as good as the best Android flagships - that will (hopefully) be Pixel 6
On the whole i feel iphone always has a warmer tone vs pixel always has a cooler tone…. Some photos in pixel with cooler tone looks eye catching even though its processed more… but the comparative scale in my opinion should be based on how real is it or the other end of how catchy the entire picture is
I have the pixel and the auto correct in Google photos just makes the photo brighter and warmer kinda like an iPhone.
Also cool and over processed is also not real
@Apple Genius well he was testing difficult shots tbf
The pixel oversharpens objects in the background, like the Camry in the second shot and the fingers on the piano, or the lines in the bulging on top of that fresh store
I'm Android all the way (own a Pixel 4a) and while I do agree that the Iphone 12 photos look amazingly better in most cases you're also paying close to or over 1,000 bucks for the Iphone 12 (which gets you a professional camera) rather than 450 for the Pixel 5a and you're still getting great photos... Really good comparison video guys! Me personally I actually love the overshapening of the Pixel software processing.
Max and vadim look like twins here
I tought they were the same person until I got the noti for this vid lol
I like how people used to *complain about the extra brightness & saturation* in Samsung's photos until Apple started doing the same this time around.
Now they mute..
Hypocrites everywhere
Yeah I know it's annoying
Is there option to get pixel images brighter...like in Google app, I feel processing of images on pixel are amazing... but default exposure and brightness settings are messed up , resulting in darker images
The point is to show what works better out of the box. An average person is not looking in the settings to improve something or probably doesn’t even know which settings to turn off or on
@@DankAlien2580 that's totally me 😂
Yh, in the photos app, increase the shadows
Yh, in the photos app, increase the shadows
There's definitely simple options to adjust before and after taking the shot. Pixel in some of these ever so slightly underexposed the photo, preserving detail. You can always go back & brighten. You cannot go back and get back overexposed lost details like the iphone caused.
In general, it was clear that the iPhone turns a little yellow, the pixels also record a slightly darker image. This issue can be seen in all the photos .... In general, in my opinion, the pixel wins♥️🤍
You do realise it’s the same flagship camera and software 😅
At this point every photo which has light colors are iphone and all with darker colour is Google pixel
And that is basically the pixel 2 sensor, imagine the new pixel 6 with the big gn1 Samsung sensor
I had 13-12 in favour of the Pixel. But I chose some of the iPhone’a clearer pictures because the Pixel’a were sometimes dark. But that’s something that can be fixed in editing. This was a really nice comparison.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY COMPARISON
Wouldn’t really be a contest, pixel has a dedicated mode for that, iPhone doesn’t.
@@b11480 you can change the exposure time on iPhone tho (and night mode for photography)
@@natlus_ still nothing close to what Google can do
You guys are so charming, interesting video 👍😍
Lets see what happens with the Pixel 6, probably the Pro model, vs the newest iPhone, also probably the pro model. The tensor processor, and new hardware, along with the google software should give Apple a run for their money. Even with video. Can't weight for those comparisons.
Either way, the mid range Pixel 5a, with older camera technology, didn't go down without a fight.
Pixel camera has mod available (not official gcam) With a little bit of tweak, you can have vibrant pop color like iphone with details and sharpness like normal pixel without edit
I couldn't stop staring at Angelika. She is absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely
Pixel camera has "selfie illumination" with just a tap in the preferences, you should do again the last ridiculous photo with the feature turned on, like on the iphone, just for fairness
How can you expect a different score from people watching this on a Mac. The last photo is a total fake - one with flash, the other - without. I currently have a Pixel 2 which never produced such bad photo...
Bruh I tough max and vadim were the same person lmao
Fr me too
Me too hhhh
SAME, Vadim kinda looks like Max after a shave
@@kyejt-r yeah lol
I'm sorry but that thumbnail pic is fake or you did something way wrong. Never had any pixel take a pic like that. I call bs
Nearly 700K subscribers on TH-cam
Update 8/28/21: Now there’s over 700K subscribers.
Removing the laser autofocus on the Pixel 5A seems to be a bad move for the portrait shots.
It is not laser autofocus which is removed. It is flicker sensor. Laser autofocus was rempved since pixel 3
Small tip next time put the reaction shots of the people in a small box on the side or the bottom the viewers gets to see the photo samples longer than 3 seconds
When you ask apple fan's boy, the photo on 2 kids playing piano on the right totally terrible, but he knows that is iphone so he chose that one,
16 iphone
9 pixel
You must use Pixel's HDR mode, it's so brilliant
Daytime: Pixel. Night time: iPhone. iPhone's signature blown out highlights are disgusting though, along with the overexposure on human faces! Pixel's details are tremendous.
i really worry that one day google don't make phone, as a photographer it is the only phone i can accept
one may need to up the bightness a little bit, i do so in batch processing, easy
You guys really make these comparison videos fun. You seem to really enjoy your work. I truly enjoy your videos thanks
Please compare the 5A5G to the 4A5G. I have the latter and I think it takes better photos. What do you think?
I have the 4a 5g too. I always get comments from friends about the quality of the photos. I would like to see that comparison too.
The 4a is probs better because they removed the laser autofocus
Next time, maybe try " Selfie Illumination " function for Pixel phones. It's the feature you mentioned that was on the iPhone.
💯 I thought of the same thing
The day time skin tones on the Pixel look horrendous, and I wouldn't expect an update to fix it. ☹️
Well this all depends on what kind of picture you want. If you want a natural coloured photo, get the Pixel. If you want a more punchy warm photo, get the iPhone. iPhones tend to focus on the face for portrait mode (I think MKBHD said this before)
I guess I will choose pixel 5a in book iphone photos are better but iphone 12 is $799 but pixel is just $450
For that $450 price I think pixel 5a is doing a great job
And I am not a fan of apple's wall garden ecosystem and I love android
If you compare only by watching photos... A Photoshop photo will make all your dreaming photos come true. This is not something you have to do as comparison !! The only comparison possible is between the photo and... The reality.
the last photo. he just said that a light yellow flash shines vs the pixel that didnt. who u foolin? lmao
I was wondering for a while about the two guys with the same background in their videos.
Are they brothers? Twins? Either way I enjoy their content.
I plan to get my first IPhone end of year. Pixel did have some cool shots. Thanks to both and the young lady in the video.
Damn the fact that they even compare the cameras of a mid range phone to a flagship phone just goes to show how well pixel phone's camera quality have hold up over the years
Looks like the dude on the right figured out that the blown out shots come from the iPhone and tried to give it points even in cases the Pixel was clearly better.
Pixel 5a camera is actually downgrade from 4a 5G since they remove Laser Auto Focus module which is still exist in 4a 5G and Pixel 5.
2:10 : So Sweet
The girl in the middle looks really good.😸👍
😂
Looking at what Google achieved with old sensor in Pixel 5A I am impatient to see what Pixel 6 (Pro) would offer. I guess it would be unchallenged in terms of quality in smartphone industry.
I didn't find them to be very different. The one in white looks a bit younger
Pixel photos were better apart from the last two
I THOUGHT THEY WERE THE SAME PERSON I WAS SO CONFUSED
I’m not used to seeing all of you at once!!
My winner is the iPhone 12. But really, for how much the 5a costs, the result is still amazing.
They did Google pixel dirty..
Definitely a video sponsored by iPhone
For daylight shots, I think the Pixel did a better job... The digital zoom on the Pixel is incredible.
But in low light with the main lens and bokeh shots, the iPhone was better overall.
Pixel 6 should have way better night shits with the new sensor
Why would you compare these 2 phone? Isn’t the camera the same between the pixel 5 and 5a?
Yea so what’s your point?
They compare them because viewers want to see the video, and because the Pixel 5A just came out and potential customers want a point of reference to compare to.
You can 100% bet that when the iPhone 13 / 13 Pro comes out, there will be another comparison. And when the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro comes out, another comparison. It's just the nature of the tech review cycle to compare newly launched products
More reason to compare pixel 5 and 12 are similar prices
It seems iPhone is great at all the important things about taking pictures, but good on everything else. The 5a can be excellent on just a few things about taking pictures, but the rest stretching from good to less than average.
I chose the one in the middle every single time.
The ones on the right and left are so similar it's a total wash, just meh.
But the one in the middle totally pops, not over saturated but just right.
Plus the whole hot librarian thing going on.

iPhone crushed the pixel. Far more natural skin colours.
Они выбирают вариант айфона лишь потому что там больше экспозиции, а так пиксель по факту лучше....
