    I rarely leave a comment on videos but this has to be the most comprehensive S9 v P2XL camera test out there.

      Too bad he didn't realize that the S9+ has stereo microphones.

    I just switched back to pixel 2 XL from I-phone X. Once you use Pixel “its Like” you just get pixelated. 😎😎 i love my Pixel XL 2

    Wow! Amazing effort to make that video. Definitely makes it harder to upgrade. Maybe I should just wait for the Pixel 3

  •  6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Thank you for the time you put into this review but why in the hell did you only compare 4k 60 to 4k 30 fps, 4k60 fps is way darker always and has less focusing speed and stabiliation, the real comaprison would be both cameras set to 4k 30fps

    • @zack88005
      @zack88005 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sigfús Steindórsson agree when using 60 fps you get faster shutter which means lesser light going to the sensor

    • @zack88005
      @zack88005 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sigfús Steindórsson and also on samsung 4k 60fps doesnt have image stabilisation

  • @laurencegr9978
    @laurencegr9978 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    3:41 - which one has a more accurate color? The S9+ footage looks saturated or it's the actual color of the pavement?

  • @Javier-zx6mv
    @Javier-zx6mv 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think that at the moment of seeing the image stabilizer, you moved the Samsung a lot more, because it is impossible that when walking, the video trembles so much and in my experiences it is not like that

  • @LegatoStudios
    @LegatoStudios 6 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    This is so S9 bias! I thought almost all the Pixel 2 shots looked way better

    • @LegatoStudios

      Brandon Rode haha true. Google is really good. I wish there was a Samsung phone running stock Android

    • @educatedjabs210
      @educatedjabs210 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      LegoStudios exactly or just the pixle with Samsung's infinity displays

    • @LegatoStudios
      @LegatoStudios 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brandon Rode I don't like the infinity display personally. I would just like a more premium device with extra extra features like Samsung has. The only reason why I don't have a Samsung it's because of the software and really slow updates.

  • @Smzxe
    @Smzxe 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I will say pixel 2xl camera is best but all things are trash and s9+ is almost a perfect phone battery camera design display water proof all thing are better on the s9+ and it's best phone of the year lol😎😁

  • @sedzaniramathaga
    @sedzaniramathaga 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    i was epic enough to make it to the end bacause if i remember very well, on your last video were you compared the s9 and iphone X i suggested that you should also do a comparison between the s9 and the pixel 2xl, and i just wanted to say thank you for doing this video and it certainly showed that the pixel 2xl is better in low lighting and i would also prefer it in daytime photography...

  • @paulclinton2256
    @paulclinton2256 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I was epic enough to make it to the end... Lol. Lol e your videos.great comparisons. Your always my go before I decide on any tech. However, after this I'm still confuaed as to what to go for. Do I hold out for the pixel 3 this year as I feel this will smash the s9....

  • @TurboTsunami19
    @TurboTsunami19 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I made it the end....haha. Another good video, Daniel, and you’ve already complicated my upgrade search.....hahaha. Well, I’m looking forward to seeing the New Pixel 3XL and the Note 9, when they come out. Hopefully, the Note 9 will make some improvements that the 9+ didn’t cover, otherwise I’m likely to get the Pixel 3XL, which I suspect will definitely improve on the zoom, and add a second lens for the camera. Thanks again

  • @djornfevrier4799
    @djornfevrier4799 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for this video, I bought the pixel 2 XL and I'm really disappointed with the low light performance especially the video performance. It's so bad I don't think I will ever use it. However although the S9 is better it's still not great.
    Im unsure if I should switch as I don't feel like I'm choosing which is better but which is the best of the worst.

  • @karlp8484

    I was epic and patient enough to make it till the end. When it comes to camera comparison, SuperSaf is usually my go to channel but after seeing this one, I think you give him a serious run for his money. Great job! Cheers!

  • @raelynhomecreations8558
    @raelynhomecreations8558 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    For those of us who enjoy adding exposure to pictures ourselves, the S9+ (which I decided to get after your previous video talking about the differences) is much better. You get more of a raw picture with it imo. When he said it's too orange... at the end he showed that you can fix it! Is there a way to do that with pixel? Plus the samsung gear is just awesome.
    Very happy with my choices and glad I ran across your channel to cement those choices.

  • @BrandonKarnes
    @BrandonKarnes 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, thanks for taking the time to put this together. If all I cared about was the camera, then yes Samsung has a few improvements over pixel. But I'm all around stock Android, but wow the mic on the S9 is way better.

    @Jayrueine 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In my opinion, I think brighter images are better over too much contrast on Pixel. I mean it looks more pleasing to look at if the photos are bright.

  • @denisdedja371

    Dude, just as an FYI, you must've used UHD 60FPS On the s9, that mode does it have stabilization. One thing I can say about the S9 is that the video stabilization is superb!

  • @br00klyn1988
    @br00klyn1988 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video man. I've been trying to figure out what phone to get next. I was going to get the S9 but after seeing reviews about it I think I'll just wait for the next pixel phone. Great videos though very interesting. Keep up the great work 👌🏼👌🏼

    Btw this is one of the most detailed comparison.

    That building that looks like it says "dgos" or something is where are the pixel messed up on that panoramic shot. It's stitched it wrong and has it leaning completely upwards which is why your picture was on an angle.

  • @crazy4and1crazy4and1
    @crazy4and1crazy4and1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You talk about how images on front facing camera of Pixel look much more processed , but I think that processed does not mean what you think it means . Pixel preserves so much more detail , of your skin and hair in particular , while the S9 Plus smooths it out .

  • @fun4225
    @fun4225 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know why you don't spend more time to discussing the visibility of the phone General interplay of apps and widgets and all that stuff kind of feel like that's more tell tale of the phone rather than the quality of the camera and the quality of the selfie picture.
    Is that what phone people are all about nowadays 4K resolution on your selfie photo / video clip if that's the case wouldn't it make more sense to just invest the money into a real camera? I'm sure that you could purchase a way way better camera for a substantially cheaper price then the camera mounted inside your cell phone but I don't know maybe I'm crazy?

    For the stabilization test, the S9 uses only OIS with 4k 60. A more accurate compare would have been 4k 30 on both, where both use EIS.

  • @ANTH0NY.VII.

    the stabilazation test was bullshit

    Pixel 2 xl gunna be a hard camera to beat... Gunna be interesting how the rest of the new phones coming out in 2018 will hold up.. S9+ definitely a close second at least on rear cam, really wish Samsung would improve on their front facing camera. I hate how much it washes out the face and makes the skin look so unnatural

    Honestly after watching many s9+ Vs pixel 2 battles, I think they're equal, one is stronger in some areas than the other and vice versa.
    Whereas before there really was no competition for the pixel 2, but of course it is still very early in the year.

  • @adrianstovell3326
    @adrianstovell3326 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You say that the galaxy allows you to capture in raw, that, hands down makes it the better camera. If they are so close here, a processed raw image will be 100x better

  • @johangustafsson6862
    @johangustafsson6862 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Read somewhere that the stabilization dont kick in if you have 4k/60 on the S9 - only if you have 4k/30. Maybe that can explain the bad video result for Samsung?
