Many of the problems they had with the Pixel can be fixed easily in their photos app. Video not so much but the photos definitely. I know it's an extra step and everyone would love to get the perfect shot the first time but let's face it most of us can't the perfect shot on the tenth time so the powerful editing features on Android are nice to have.

Having used the Pixel 2XL, and Pixel 5 over the last 4-5 years, I'm surprised that the portrait mode photos don't seem to be as good on the Pixel 7 Pro. That being said, I don't usually use portrait mode so it's not a deal breaker for me anyhow. Probably will switch to the Pixel 7 Pro in a while. P.s. My wife exclusively uses the iPhone, but reaches for my Pixel phone for photos a good majority of the time in both day and night scenarios ;)
Yeah pixel 2xl where the game changer before, even most of the techies switched to it (you can search for that video ). Then pixel get less acceptable becoz of bugs and all now again the game changer arrived but still misses that portrait in 2xl
I love taking pictures with my pixel 5 but hate taking videos especially at night. I definitely noticed that pixel 7 needs some more updates especially cinematic videos.
Pixel 7 pro video is by far better than the 5... Pixel 6 and 7 series are literally the best Android video smartphone on the market. Google improved their video tremendously with those series
@@NicolasKeven well ofcourse it does... It's the first time Google using such a feature... While it is gimmicky and looks horrendous on both iPhone and pixel... It is just worse on the pixel and I think that feature will be excluded from smartphones really soon.
@@NicolasKeven this is the second generation of cinematic mode for the iPhone so what can you expect? When it first came out it was horrendous on the iPhone 13 and it's still not very good on the iPhone despite it being 4k... It is usable, not very good.

LMAO. I used to think the same too. Thought he used to change haircuts and camera angles too often, until I saw them both on the same video for the first time.
As usual the pixel crushes on photos and is closing in on the iPhone slowly for video. It seems they all slowly converge and become really good no matter what you go for.
Agreed with most of your choices except for the very first one at 0:59...the pixel was sharper and the white balance was way better...the iphone looked slightly out of focus with a unpleasant green cast to the watch. Surprised you voted for the iphone.
I would say, that in Australia the diffrence in price is much significant - $1299 for Pixel 7 Pro and $1549 for iPhone 14 Plus - both with 128GB storage 🙄
Great way to do it taking out bias. Also good to see like for like where most compare the 14pro, which is interesting to see but is 30% dear and beyond in most markets. Curious if the video gets improved with updates on the 7 Pro too as it's just released.
I feel like the video quality won't be improved much but they could make the cinematic video much better. One of the main reasons I would go for the pixel is because it's so much cheaper so it's a great option now

Looks like Apple will need to step up the camera game instead o having such a basic camera on the standard models. My 13Pro is also a hit or miss. The other night at the beach was very disappointing to see how bad it photographed the moon with a pier and ocean, whereas the moon was like a distorted light in the sky. Apple needs to get their act together.
Getting the moon(lit up by the sun) and a pitch black landscape in one picture with no clipping cant even be done with modern mirrorles cameras. also apple just needs to crank that HDR and sharpening to the max like google does because thats the only thing that counts /s
I think Apple really missed the boat on the iPhone 14 base models they are $100 -$150 too expensive. For the money they should have got the 48MP main and the 120hz screen from the 13 Pro Max. That still would have differentiated the Pro from the regular.
@@blehboii8285 yes i know. But i think $800 and 60Hz is BS. It’s not always Apple being cheap it about scale. So if they put the 120hz screen in the base model they have to have the quantity to do it. I think the Base iPhone 15 will get variable refresh
Watching this review from my Pixel 6pro! Way to go PIXEL 7PRO! :) as a photography enthusiast, photo quality is very important, guess I made a good choice. Pixel 6 pro is still kicking it though.
Possibly , but smartphones in photography none are known for their consistency , or accuracy if we are being honest , even things like lens flares which effect most smartphone cameras are just not good and the I’ve noticed in several photo comparisons the pixel seems to suffer worse than most.

@@mikldude9376 Maybe not, but the Pixel was more consistent. And I don't really take photos directly of bright sources of light so flares are likely not a problem. The oversaturated colors of iPhone pictures are popping out like it's a Samsung phone from 2016. Not good.
Photos….pixel destroyed iPhone. Video iPhone destroyed pixel. If they would have did their traditional comparison, with no video, it would have been a slaughter
@Da Fonse Google put a lot of work in Pixel 7 series this time but still a lot more can be improved. Will buy Pixel 7 pro cuz I like Android more and Pixel 7 pro offers Best Android experience.
@Da Fonse Agreed. I’m pretty sure the 14 pro will have better telephoto, portrait edge detection and slightly better low light performance. Bad Pixel 7 Pro age is kicking ass this year.
@Da Fonse not a fair comparison in most markets Pixel 7 pro €899 iPhone 14 pro max €1299 I expect the phone that's €400 more expensive to definitely be better
@Da Fonse It's not unfair at all. They compared the phones based on price. Both the 14 Plus and the 7 Pro cost exactly the same. This is as fair as it can get.
I'd like to see a 3-way comparison between the Iphone14 Pro, Pixel7 Pro, and S22 Ultra. Maybe even throw in a 4th phone for good measure. Anyway, other than the clickbait title, this was a decent comparison.
Curious to see why you would want to compare when the other devices cost much more than P7PRO? How would you factor that in? I've never seen a phone take better pictures than a Pixel. Videos sure. Pictures no, no matter what the hardware even Asus/OPPO/Samsung/Motorola with all those megapixels. Still oversaturated. Also, Google makes Android so why would you buy an Android phone from Samsung? They're glitchy unsafe UI on top yuck. I'll trust the original maker Google every time over them.
Not much point. Samsung would wins because they have improved the camera software since the phone came out; I don't think Apple ever tweaked the camera after release. And Pixel 7 Pro is half the price of the other 2 if you know how to stack discounts
@@mtf_savage_beasts2565 Or since he does neither photos or video, the prudent choice is neither…. an antique flip-phone shouldn’t deprecate much, perhaps appreciate in value 😀
@Garrus Vakarian not really. iPhone is not an all-rounder when it comes to astro photography, zoom shots like Samsung and having directors mode like Samsung to create multiple photos, videos slows mo and all. Samsung gives more functionality but the positive thing in apple is that it is consistent even if it clicks a bad picture then it will again click a bad picture but samsung sometimes is like 10 or 8 (whereas Apple 9 consistent)
Actually the pixel does show changes before the picture is processed so the guy on the left is incorrect. Via colour temperature, HDR and exposure. It's a cool feature.
Apart from Video where the iPhone won and night mode where the pixel won (along with zoom obviously), it looks like you were demonstrating how hit and miss both phones are in those tests. Computational photography works sometimes and not others. It's more a testament of how those pics are randomly good or bad.
iPhone tunes photos before you even edit them. They don't look life-like at all. The colours are vibrant, the sharpness, contrast and light is also increased. That's not an accurate representation of what is there.
Really good video for reference and someone like me which is trying to make a decision between these exact two phones. Appreciate you guys. Music volume is perfect and the three of you together is fun to watch. Thank you very much for this review! 🙏
I love my pixel 7pro but the only disappointment is portrait mode. I love using portraits! They used to be the king of portraits. Same issue on the 6pro so I'm not hopeful about camera updates fixing it. I had the 6 pro for a year and after a bunch of updates it never fixed it
Great comparison guys, but I would love to see images taken in RAW and processed in Lightroom or some other software. One daylight and one night shot would suffice. Just to have an idea of the true potential of the sensor.
@@NegativoZ06 because everyone clueless, taking a raw photo and letting the ai fix the photo generally fixes everything while looking 2x better than a normal jpeg. After that export the raw dng to jpeg and it all took 15 seconds max
with the two phones on the video, I think only the Pixel can shoot RAW.. you have to buy the Pro variant on the iPhone side to be able to shoot RAW .. so for the price. . Pixel wins by default.
Tbh the iphone 14 plus never stood a chance against the photo prowess of the Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel should compete with the 14 Pro max, S22U, Vivo X80 Pro, Xiaomi 12S etc.
You’re right, it does compete with those phones, but it’s priced like the S22+ or iPhone 14+, not the Pro/Ultra models. Great value phone, though the standard 7 is even better value for money!
Let's not forget, the iPhone 14 Pro camera had stabilization issues at launch as well. Google always releases an update about a month after the release that addresses alot of the launch bugs so let's wait and see if the video improves, I haven't seen nearly this much shake on the Pixel in other comparisons.
I was spot the same that for some reason on this comparison pixels stabilisation looked like trash as opposed on others it was beating any of the.. dont know what went wrong for them 😅
Still waiting for my 14 Pro Max to be shipped but boy am I tempted to cancel it for the Pixel 7 Pro. I’m really concerned with the Pixel having only 3 years of software updates tho…
@@simply6162 thats the thing. the iPhone prices are just insane. as for refurbed 13 Pros, Amazon is just asking too much for them. i’m actually considering the Pixel for its better camera, slightly better display and pricing… but i can’t just overlook how iPhones promise 5 years of software updates and its proven track record of iPhones just working without too much of a hassle. The past few years of Samsung foldables for me has been nothing but frustrating from terrible battery life, overheating devices to the constant tweaking of settings…
@@ssruizhang theres reason why iphones are expensive.. they arev jiust better products period. the resale value is what reflects what iphone gives you. life has teached that nothing is free
Pixel will probably take a better point and shoot photos in the majority of circumstances - and that’s about it. iPhone > Pixel in pretty much every other way that matters.
I have been using Pixel 2 XL for the last 4 years and i compare with my friends iphone 11 and 13, beleive me the photos taken by Pixel is very sharp and clear than 11 and 13 even. Ya the videos on 13 is excellent. My opinion if you take photos more, go for Pixel, fir videos it is 13,14.
How to identify an iPhone Blown out highlights Warm white balance Pixel Cooler white balance HDR always nails it even in video Buggy portrait mode Better zoom
It's insane how well Pixel can do with all those smaller pixels in low light. Looking at the sensor features alone, Apple should easily win in low light photography if they had equally well software.
Except few videos and portrait photography moments, Pixel 7 Pro's cameras are brilliant. We love Google Pixels 7 series phones. And please carry out full camera comparison Pixel 7 Pro and Apple. iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Different price bracket hence he took the Plus because it was the closest one priced to the pixel, the test was more about price to performance, meaning anything in the apple range below the 14 pro or pro max isn't worth the price tag or your time
Because you could do much better for cheaper and in some markets get the watch with it as well, so price to performance was the main reflection here, and you could see they were quite salty that the iPhone couldn't compete
I like how both pixel and iphone fans in the comments are screaming that the video is biased against them. If you really care about photos you'll get a more nuanced info than the final score anyways. Although if you split the comparison into categories such as: Portrait, VIdeo, Zoom, HDR, etc... maybe it would be easier for people to take away more usefull information and decide on what they care about the most.
I dunno guys, I am an amateur DSLR photographer (been doing it for about 20 years now), and I have to say I am very uninspired by all of these photos, I have a Nikon D750 with a 50mm f/1.4 and 105mm MICRO lense, and both those lenses on that camera just wee all over over these photos in terms of dynamic range, focus and detail. Everyone keeps saying how close the new phones are to DSLR, but I don’t see it, these photos are just crap IMO…. I really look forward to the day when I can get DSLR photos out of such a compact device without all the weight and bulkiness, but I want quality over happy snaps, and the phones just aren’t there yet. Would love to see if you could invest in a D750 with the basic 50mm f/1.4 lens using auto metering and spot focusing on the subject and show us the comparisons then, I feel that the D750 would win every photo.
It's not accurate lol there's alot you missing like white tone saturation and fairing creating the yellowish look when I. Reality it's either warm or not
The yellow tone of the iPhone is independent from the sun no matter the time of the day, even at noon where the light spectrum is more white (fun fact: the sun actual color is white and the yellow tone is because of the earth atmosphere) My best guess is that most people tend to prefer that warm tone from the iPhone and that the vast majority of people don’t know how or don’t want to adjust their photos themselves.
Hey Max, how about more transparent categories for the next unbiased comparison? Like first show all tele photos, then portrait, then macro, then night, then video etc. This way you could have a different winner for each category. You said you only took 4 tele photos, but this wouldnt matter in categories, because the telephotos help pixel to win that category only no matter how many telephotos you take (and same with iphone and videos). In the end we can see who won most categories
It is a good idea, but, I think that the way they do this is more close to what a person who own a phone do photos in real life, not dividing by categories.
Good idea but then basically the iPhone would have only one the category of video and video alone, but putting it into a category would have made it less unbiased, because they all iPhone users on a dialy basis and they could have specifically tried identifying the iPhone picture from what they think it was, 13/22 pixel won by far
Actually, on the second photo there is much more details on the right photo. Also the colours are more accurate and without background blur the photo looks more realistic instead processed.
I love these vids. It amazes me how important software has become in creating a camera system. It's pretty clear that despite inferior processing and slightly less capable camera hardware, that software allows the Pixel to create better photos than the Iphone. It's also interesting that the Iphone's advantage in video is largely a result of software. Someday, a big camera manufacturer (Sony, Canon, Nikon) will fully embrace software to allow for even better tools.
Pixel started the computational photography and they are killing it with their software especially in night mode. But they need to catch up in the video department...
I'm completely satisfied with your efforts to analyze this discussion of camera comparison. But I'm really affected much by pixel's camera performance in this video. Love you guys!! Michael.
In my opinion the worthy competitor for the pixel 7 pro based on features is the iPhone 14 pro. It’s a little more expensive so the phone should be better to compensate for the price difference. Since the camera system is the same on the 14 pro and pro max , looking forward to that!
@@GreatOne0815 Apple products rarely beat others on best value, thus I would never say it’s better for the price however I’m curious how the pro lines stack up against one another feature wise.
I think too many photos were took using the zoom lens on the Pixel which isn't present on the iPhone. Similarly there weren't many videos where the iPhone clearly wins.
Agreed. This was not an apples to apples comparison. Of course the Pixel will have better zoom photos with 5x optical over iPhone 3x. I have the iPhone 14 Pro and I’m not sure how he managed to take as many terrible photos as he did. I’ve taken pictures of the moon and they look infinitely better than what I saw here. It was even better than the Pixel shot here. It was actually the first iPhone I could take a photo of the moon with some detail. Wish TH-cam let you share here. Either way, I’ve owned Pixel phones before and I really enjoy their cooler tones and clear imaging. But I don’t believe this was a fair comparison.
Thanks for the confirmation bias guys, my Pixel 7 Pro's still sitting in its box, because it arrived 2 days early before the screen protectors and case arrived. I'm not gonna risk scratching it. I'm hoping updates will sort out video recording.I've gotta say though, why didn't you use the screen flash for night portrait selfies? . 😆😆😆😆
Here in India, it isn't even a competition. iPhone 7 pro is almost 50% more expensive and pro max around 70% more relative to Pixel 7 pro. For the price, the Pixel is bang for bucks if photography is the main requirement. Heck, I could get a Pixel and the latest GoPro and it will still cost less than the iPhone 7 pro max. If telephoto isn't critical, Pixel 7 is the best you can buy.
Great vid! I'd be keen to see the pixel 7 pro camera go up against the fold 4 & the s22 ultra. I feel like I know which would win (lol) but would be interested to see just how different the same shots are between them. And videos. :)
I have the P6Pro and it's clear that Pixel still has a lot more work in the video. I'd be getting the P8 at this rate as I doubt they'll add the P7 camera quality updates to the P6
All the people crying for the uneven match of the iPhone pro that cost more, but they're just such apple sheep. They don't realize that fact or are in denial! GOLD!!! Bahahahah I didn't even need to watch the video to know the answer. The Pixel is clearly a superior device even at a lower price point. Shame on Apple!
I think it will be best to wait for S23 to come out as it's basically different generations and this video has been done already I have seen that before, when is the expected date of the S23 coming
There’s a couple of points that hardly any reviewers are bring up. 7 generations in and the Pixel STILL doesn’t give you a live preview for portrait mode, which is important for composition. Also the cinematic mode is only 1080p and the blur doesn’t adjust with the distance. In Tyler Stalman’s video the Pixel cinematic video looks awful. It’s one area where the iPhones much greater processing power really helps
The cinematic mode looks gimmicky and horrendous on both phones, worse on pixel? Sure but I wouldn't use it on either. The "much greater processing power" of the iphone is not what helps cinematic modes it's the fact that this is googles first attempt at cinematic mode and it'll be greatly improved through software updates.
@@hugowells3052 your words "there's a couple of points that hardly any reviewers are bringing up".... And one of the points you mentioned was cinematic mode... As I said, every single reviewer has talked about cinematic mode on the pixel and how terrible it is.
@@JandersC It looks a hell of a lot better on the iPhone. Watch any video comparing the two. And the fact that the iPhone can do it in 4k is processing power. It being first Gen is no excuse. The iPhone looked much better in its first generation
One way to tell if it's a Pixel is the magenta-ish skies and muted greens. iPhone's color of the skies since the 11 has been aqua colored skies and bright green.
Hi guys, I really love these comparisons but just like in your latest battery test I would prefer to compare photos based on real life usage (whatever it means...). Almost half of the photos were made in low light / nighttime conditions which is for most of us average users definately not the normal photo making environment. One other idea - which I understand is very difficult to do - is to compare whith the original colours. Although picture quality of high end phones comes closer and closer to each other, I still see significant diferences in colour schemes. That neon sign on the night time shot of the brick building e.g (13:53)..... Was that green or turquoise in reality?

iPhone 14 Plus- 11
Pixel 7 Pro - 24
This is the biggest difference between any two phones for me so far on your channel.
@Da Fonse Google put a lot of work in Pixel 7 series this time but still a lot more can be improved. Will buy Pixel 7 pro cuz I like Android more and Pixel 7 pro offers Best Android experience.
@Da Fonse Agreed. I’m pretty sure the 14 pro will have better telephoto, portrait edge detection and slightly better low light performance. Bad Pixel 7 Pro age is kicking ass this year.
@Da Fonse not a fair comparison in most markets
Pixel 7 pro €899
iPhone 14 pro max €1299
I expect the phone that's €400 more expensive to definitely be better
@Da Fonse It's not unfair at all. They compared the phones based on price. Both the 14 Plus and the 7 Pro cost exactly the same. This is as fair as it can get.
@@AZmotion You are very correct. The iPhone 14 plus is even more expensive than the pixel 7 pro is most markets. So it's a fair comparison.
I'd like to see a 3-way comparison between the Iphone14 Pro, Pixel7 Pro, and S22 Ultra. Maybe even throw in a 4th phone for good measure.
Anyway, other than the clickbait title, this was a decent comparison.
Don't bother. Neither the 14 or 7 Pro to me touch the 22 Ultra. I was so disappointed.
Curious to see why you would want to compare when the other devices cost much more than P7PRO? How would you factor that in?
I've never seen a phone take better pictures than a Pixel. Videos sure. Pictures no, no matter what the hardware even Asus/OPPO/Samsung/Motorola with all those megapixels. Still oversaturated.
Also, Google makes Android so why would you buy an Android phone from Samsung? They're glitchy unsafe UI on top yuck. I'll trust the original maker Google every time over them.
Not much point. Samsung would wins because they have improved the camera software since the phone came out; I don't think Apple ever tweaked the camera after release. And Pixel 7 Pro is half the price of the other 2 if you know how to stack discounts
Mrwhostheboss did a really good comparison between iPhone and Samsung.
@@clotheman take Vivo x80pro or x70pro+ and look for the magic
Pixel killed it in photos, iPhone killed it in video. Just decide what’s more important to you.
Photos, People usually take photos more.
I don't do either and I still can't decide which one should I buy
@@carlosmuro444 Buy Both 👍
@@mtf_savage_beasts2565 Or since he does neither photos or video, the prudent choice is neither…. an antique flip-phone shouldn’t deprecate much, perhaps appreciate in value 😀
@Garrus Vakarian not really.
iPhone is not an all-rounder when it comes to astro photography, zoom shots like Samsung and having directors mode like Samsung to create multiple photos, videos slows mo and all.
Samsung gives more functionality but the positive thing in apple is that it is consistent even if it clicks a bad picture then it will again click a bad picture but samsung sometimes is like 10 or 8 (whereas Apple 9 consistent)
The orange glow from the sun is always better seen in iPhone photos. And I love that a lot.
The best camera comparison I ever seen! You guys so funny!😄😄😄
Actually the pixel does show changes before the picture is processed so the guy on the left is incorrect. Via colour temperature, HDR and exposure. It's a cool feature.
Apart from Video where the iPhone won and night mode where the pixel won (along with zoom obviously), it looks like you were demonstrating how hit and miss both phones are in those tests. Computational photography works sometimes and not others. It's more a testament of how those pics are randomly good or bad.
It's pretty clear the iphone basically oversaturates the photos because that's what people prefer
Yes thats the reason, people like "fake" photos over real.
I always wait for your camera battle videos. You guys are amazing! Lovelots!
Pixel 7 Pro video needs some fine tuning, but it's getting better. It's inconsistent.
iPhone 17
Pixel 22
(4 of those numbers were ties)
You should do a video comparing the 14 pro vs the 7 pro
iPhone tunes photos before you even edit them. They don't look life-like at all. The colours are vibrant, the sharpness, contrast and light is also increased. That's not an accurate representation of what is there.
15:22 not a fair test. iPhone using screen light. You can use the pixel to do the same, just the guy didn't use it
Really good video for reference and someone like me which is trying to make a decision between these exact two phones. Appreciate you guys. Music volume is perfect and the three of you together is fun to watch. Thank you very much for this review! 🙏
Blurry photo can be fixed with the unblure feature on pixel 7
The iPhone lights up the screen at night while taking night-mode selfies, hence the added brightness. Also in selfie videos, Pixel 7/pro is better.
Selfie videos look better on the iPhone. Also it has autofocus, a default win.
Pixel phones will light up the screen for selfies too but Max never turns it on.
wait, was the shot of the watch a crop vs a macro?? are y'all seriously comparing photos like that???
Their excited smile tells alot when they say “iPhonee…….”
They are iphone fans
I love my pixel 7pro but the only disappointment is portrait mode. I love using portraits! They used to be the king of portraits. Same issue on the 6pro so I'm not hopeful about camera updates fixing it. I had the 6 pro for a year and after a bunch of updates it never fixed it
Hi mate, just use the optical x5 zoom.
@@MrCarloxherrera that makes no sense
@@jerradmechals1 portrait mode is a gimmick. With the P7pro sensor and optical x5 zoom, you can achieve a kinda decent bokeh.
For tests like these a third picture from a DSLR is much more important as a test control.
That's actually a great idea but then they should select two photos because 100 percent of the time the DSLR will be in
The look on the face after they choose Pixel almost 60% of the time 🤣
They tried to select the one from iPhone 🤣🤣🤣
Unbiased review from a pro iPhone channel lol
IPhone 15 Pro will have usb-C (called Omegabolt Max) and 5x optical (Dream Reach, trademark pending)
We're all so easy to manipulate by marketing.
Great comparison guys, but I would love to see images taken in RAW and processed in Lightroom or some other software. One daylight and one night shot would suffice. Just to have an idea of the true potential of the sensor.
1 in 300,000 people use raw images
@@NegativoZ06 because everyone clueless, taking a raw photo and letting the ai fix the photo generally fixes everything while looking 2x better than a normal jpeg. After that export the raw dng to jpeg and it all took 15 seconds max
with the two phones on the video, I think only the Pixel can shoot RAW.. you have to buy the Pro variant on the iPhone side to be able to shoot RAW
.. so for the price. . Pixel wins by default.
@@AIROD_0 Halide will allow you to shoot RAW. ProRAW only comes on the Pro models.
Love these video compares. Thank you!
Tbh the iphone 14 plus never stood a chance against the photo prowess of the Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel should compete with the 14 Pro max, S22U, Vivo X80 Pro, Xiaomi 12S etc.
You’re right, it does compete with those phones, but it’s priced like the S22+ or iPhone 14+, not the Pro/Ultra models. Great value phone, though the standard 7 is even better value for money!
You guys are great, thoroughly enjoyed the video.
More videos like these please.
Let's not forget, the iPhone 14 Pro camera had stabilization issues at launch as well. Google always releases an update about a month after the release that addresses alot of the launch bugs so let's wait and see if the video improves, I haven't seen nearly this much shake on the Pixel in other comparisons.
I was spot the same that for some reason on this comparison pixels stabilisation looked like trash as opposed on others it was beating any of the.. dont know what went wrong for them 😅
Still waiting for my 14 Pro Max to be shipped but boy am I tempted to cancel it for the Pixel 7 Pro. I’m really concerned with the Pixel having only 3 years of software updates tho…
GO for pixel if you wanna suffer
@@simply6162 🤣
@@simply6162 thats the thing. the iPhone prices are just insane. as for refurbed 13 Pros, Amazon is just asking too much for them. i’m actually considering the Pixel for its better camera, slightly better display and pricing… but i can’t just overlook how iPhones promise 5 years of software updates and its proven track record of iPhones just working without too much of a hassle. The past few years of Samsung foldables for me has been nothing but frustrating from terrible battery life, overheating devices to the constant tweaking of settings…
@@ssruizhang theres reason why iphones are expensive.. they arev jiust better products period. the resale value is what reflects what iphone gives you. life has teached that nothing is free
Pixel will probably take a better point and shoot photos in the majority of circumstances - and that’s about it.
iPhone > Pixel in pretty much every other way that matters.
I have been using Pixel 2 XL for the last 4 years and i compare with my friends iphone 11 and 13, beleive me the photos taken by Pixel is very sharp and clear than 11 and 13 even. Ya the videos on 13 is excellent. My opinion if you take photos more, go for Pixel, fir videos it is 13,14.
The pixel can update video and make it better. Heaps better than before though. Thanks for the vid. From Victoria, Australia. 😉🍻
How to identify an iPhone
Blown out highlights
Warm white balance
Pixel
Cooler white balance
HDR always nails it even in video
Buggy portrait mode
Better zoom
And better dynamic range for the pixel.
@@isiraarchana5079 ah.. forgot to mention that
@@xposr Ahh, all good tho.
It's very easy to differentiate based on Sky color,
All Pixel photos have sky towards Purple tint
All iPhone photos have well sky blue color
You mean most iPhone pics have a greenish incorrect tint.
What became of Pixel's portraits, They were once the best.
Until iPhone joined
wish pixel had used a 3x lens ,coz that overshaprned didgitally zoomed in portraits really suck compared to the competition .
The pixel 6 pro is amazing for portraits with that 4×
Is like comparing iphone 13 vs Pixel 7Pro bad comparison guys, compare with the 14PRO MAX with RAW photos
Isn't apple that have a team of eight hundred people working only on camera department?
I hate how my iPhone 13 Pro photos turn to mush whenever there is a lot of Red light
It's insane how well Pixel can do with all those smaller pixels in low light. Looking at the sensor features alone, Apple should easily win in low light photography if they had equally well software.
Except few videos and portrait photography moments, Pixel 7 Pro's cameras are brilliant.
We love Google Pixels 7 series phones.
And please carry out full camera comparison Pixel 7 Pro and Apple. iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Different price bracket hence he took the Plus because it was the closest one priced to the pixel, the test was more about price to performance, meaning anything in the apple range below the 14 pro or pro max isn't worth the price tag or your time
Because you could do much better for cheaper and in some markets get the watch with it as well, so price to performance was the main reflection here, and you could see they were quite salty that the iPhone couldn't compete
@@deongeel yes that’s true if the price is the same it’s better to compare based on the price
@@DarkFlame8777 thank you I appreciate a straight answer I asked this most likely 100 times now you gave a straight answer
I like how both pixel and iphone fans in the comments are screaming that the video is biased against them. If you really care about photos you'll get a more nuanced info than the final score anyways. Although if you split the comparison into categories such as: Portrait, VIdeo, Zoom, HDR, etc... maybe it would be easier for people to take away more usefull information and decide on what they care about the most.
Watch the video again in general the HDR on the iPhone was very terrible even though the picture was chosen?
Pixel 7 pro has better white balance and better portraits
I dunno guys, I am an amateur DSLR photographer (been doing it for about 20 years now), and I have to say I am very uninspired by all of these photos, I have a Nikon D750 with a 50mm f/1.4 and 105mm MICRO lense, and both those lenses on that camera just wee all over over these photos in terms of dynamic range, focus and detail. Everyone keeps saying how close the new phones are to DSLR, but I don’t see it, these photos are just crap IMO…. I really look forward to the day when I can get DSLR photos out of such a compact device without all the weight and bulkiness, but I want quality over happy snaps, and the phones just aren’t there yet.
Would love to see if you could invest in a D750 with the basic 50mm f/1.4 lens using auto metering and spot focusing on the subject and show us the comparisons then, I feel that the D750 would win every photo.
" who cares about dynamic range"
Immediately picks the better dynamic range photo in the next picture. Omegalul
It is really easy to spot what phone took the picture on left or right as the iPhones have this yellowish/warm tone on every single one of them
which means it is generally more accurate because the light from the sun is yellow/warm tone
It's not accurate lol there's alot you missing like white tone saturation and fairing creating the yellowish look when I. Reality it's either warm or not
@@rebel2809 are you telling me if a person has the sun shining on him his always yellow in complexion hahahahahaha this is really funny hahahaha
So what you telling me taking different photos at different times of the day hahahaha means nothing ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
The yellow tone of the iPhone is independent from the sun no matter the time of the day, even at noon where the light spectrum is more white (fun fact: the sun actual color is white and the yellow tone is because of the earth atmosphere)
My best guess is that most people tend to prefer that warm tone from the iPhone and that the vast majority of people don’t know how or don’t want to adjust their photos themselves.
Hey Max, how about more transparent categories for the next unbiased comparison? Like first show all tele photos, then portrait, then macro, then night, then video etc.
This way you could have a different winner for each category. You said you only took 4 tele photos, but this wouldnt matter in categories, because the telephotos help pixel to win that category only no matter how many telephotos you take (and same with iphone and videos).
In the end we can see who won most categories
It is a good idea, but, I think that the way they do this is more close to what a person who own a phone do photos in real life, not dividing by categories.
Good idea but then basically the iPhone would have only one the category of video and video alone, but putting it into a category would have made it less unbiased, because they all iPhone users on a dialy basis and they could have specifically tried identifying the iPhone picture from what they think it was, 13/22 pixel won by far
Easy to tell between the two. Pixel is a little under exposed while the iPhone is overexposed in some cases.
P7: 21
iPhone 14:14
Having used the pixels for t iterations, very good pixel
Actually, on the second photo there is much more details on the right photo. Also the colours are more accurate and without background blur the photo looks more realistic instead processed.
I love these vids. It amazes me how important software has become in creating a camera system. It's pretty clear that despite inferior processing and slightly less capable camera hardware, that software allows the Pixel to create better photos than the Iphone. It's also interesting that the Iphone's advantage in video is largely a result of software.
Someday, a big camera manufacturer (Sony, Canon, Nikon) will fully embrace software to allow for even better tools.
Pixel started the computational photography and they are killing it with their software especially in night mode.
But they need to catch up in the video department...
Pixel 7 pro has a better hardware zoom too.
I like the pixel for the details, that's the reason I'm using a Google pixel camera mod on my galaxy
Why are you comparing Pixel Pro vs iPhone non-Pro?
You’re comparing 50 MP vs 12 MP. At least the Pro has 48…
Because of the prices.
the points mostly goes to pixel 7 pro because you compare it with non pro. pixel 7 pro = iphone 14 pro or promax
I'm completely satisfied with your efforts to analyze this discussion of camera comparison.
But I'm really affected much by pixel's camera performance in this video.
Love you guys!!
Michael.
You guys need to do a comparison between the iPhone 14 Pro vs. Pixel 7 Pro
iPhone (and Samsung) still win the video category but the Pixel photos looked so good! But the portrait mode definitely needs a bit of work!
At 7:40 the photo on the right actually looks almost cinematic.
I'm shocked to see how Google is still 3 years behind in video tech. But their photos are next level! Awesome video btw. 🔥
In my opinion the worthy competitor for the pixel 7 pro based on features is the iPhone 14 pro. It’s a little more expensive so the phone should be better to compensate for the price difference. Since the camera system is the same on the 14 pro and pro max , looking forward to that!
@@alanbio imagine a 900 € phone beating a 1300 € phone in most of the images ... :)
@@alanbio it’s not about price it’s about their range
@@GreatOne0815 Apple products rarely beat others on best value, thus I would never say it’s better for the price however I’m curious how the pro lines stack up against one another feature wise.
@@GreatOne0815 huh the comparison wasn’t between the 1300€ phone and the pixel?
What about the comparison between the iPhone 14 pro max
This is non a fair comparison, IPhone 14 Plus is equal to Pixel 7 and this is iPhone 14 pro MAX that is equal to the Pixel 7 Pro
I think too many photos were took using the zoom lens on the Pixel which isn't present on the iPhone. Similarly there weren't many videos where the iPhone clearly wins.
Agreed. This was not an apples to apples comparison. Of course the Pixel will have better zoom photos with 5x optical over iPhone 3x. I have the iPhone 14 Pro and I’m not sure how he managed to take as many terrible photos as he did. I’ve taken pictures of the moon and they look infinitely better than what I saw here. It was even better than the Pixel shot here. It was actually the first iPhone I could take a photo of the moon with some detail. Wish TH-cam let you share here.
Either way, I’ve owned Pixel phones before and I really enjoy their cooler tones and clear imaging. But I don’t believe this was a fair comparison.
Would love to see a proper Pixel 7 vs iPhone 14 comparison and a Pixel 7 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro/Max comparison.
Sort of Orange vs Orange then
Its same, they only take 3 4 zoom lens photo which is so kind already. Otherwise its triple vote for Pixel 🤣
Thanks for the confirmation bias guys, my Pixel 7 Pro's still sitting in its box, because it arrived 2 days early before the screen protectors and case arrived. I'm not gonna risk scratching it. I'm hoping updates will sort out video recording.I've gotta say though, why didn't you use the screen flash for night portrait selfies? . 😆😆😆😆
Here in India, it isn't even a competition. iPhone 7 pro is almost 50% more expensive and pro max around 70% more relative to Pixel 7 pro. For the price, the Pixel is bang for bucks if photography is the main requirement. Heck, I could get a Pixel and the latest GoPro and it will still cost less than the iPhone 7 pro max. If telephoto isn't critical, Pixel 7 is the best you can buy.
the pixel here just seem to handle a much wider variety of lighting
Great vid! I'd be keen to see the pixel 7 pro camera go up against the fold 4 & the s22 ultra. I feel like I know which would win (lol) but would be interested to see just how different the same shots are between them. And videos. :)
I have a Fold 4 and I like the Pixel pictures but the Samsung Video
They have done pixel 7 pro vs s22 ultra the pixel won.
@@tonyrobinson362 At the time of my above comment that hadn't been done. I've since seen the comparison.
I have the P6Pro and it's clear that Pixel still has a lot more work in the video. I'd be getting the P8 at this rate as I doubt they'll add the P7 camera quality updates to the P6
All the people crying for the uneven match of the iPhone pro that cost more, but they're just such apple sheep. They don't realize that fact or are in denial! GOLD!!! Bahahahah
I didn't even need to watch the video to know the answer. The Pixel is clearly a superior device even at a lower price point. Shame on Apple!
Impossible not to know which one is which immediately because of how the process colours. Regardless of quality
Great contents as always, can't wait for a trio blind test between iPhone 4 pro max Vs Google pixel 7pro Vs Samsung s22 ultra
I think it will be best to wait for S23 to come out as it's basically different generations and this video has been done already I have seen that before, when is the expected date of the S23 coming
@Da Fonse My bad you correct for some reason I was under the impression it came out in late December of 2021 or was there a delay in the roll out date
Will you guys do a Pixel Pro vs iPhone Pro camera comparison (pro vs pro) ?
There’s a couple of points that hardly any reviewers are bring up. 7 generations in and the Pixel STILL doesn’t give you a live preview for portrait mode, which is important for composition. Also the cinematic mode is only 1080p and the blur doesn’t adjust with the distance. In Tyler Stalman’s video the Pixel cinematic video looks awful. It’s one area where the iPhones much greater processing power really helps
Every reviewer talks about the cinematic mode... Don't know where you got that from
@@rajnibrown2194 Read my comment again. They mention it, but not how bad it is
The cinematic mode looks gimmicky and horrendous on both phones, worse on pixel? Sure but I wouldn't use it on either. The "much greater processing power" of the iphone is not what helps cinematic modes it's the fact that this is googles first attempt at cinematic mode and it'll be greatly improved through software updates.
@@hugowells3052 your words "there's a couple of points that hardly any reviewers are bringing up".... And one of the points you mentioned was cinematic mode... As I said, every single reviewer has talked about cinematic mode on the pixel and how terrible it is.
@@JandersC It looks a hell of a lot better on the iPhone. Watch any video comparing the two. And the fact that the iPhone can do it in 4k is processing power. It being first Gen is no excuse. The iPhone looked much better in its first generation
Iphone 14 Plus: 13
Google Pixel 7 Pro: 22
Winner: Google Pixel 7 Pro
We need vs Pro comparison as well, sadly this year iPhone underdelivered 😂😢😅
One way to tell if it's a Pixel is the magenta-ish skies and muted greens. iPhone's color of the skies since the 11 has been aqua colored skies and bright green.
Hi guys, I really love these comparisons but just like in your latest battery test I would prefer to compare photos based on real life usage (whatever it means...). Almost half of the photos were made in low light / nighttime conditions which is for most of us average users definately not the normal photo making environment. One other idea - which I understand is very difficult to do - is to compare whith the original colours. Although picture quality of high end phones comes closer and closer to each other, I still see significant diferences in colour schemes. That neon sign on the night time shot of the brick building e.g (13:53)..... Was that green or turquoise in reality?
Luckily they didn't compare zoom lens, otherwise its double the vote for pixel 🤣
So, the 14 pro vs Pixel pro?
So you guys clearly demonstrated that for video the iPhone is still on top, and Pixel winning photo. Ok 👍
And here I am, watching comparisons of phones that I can´t buy.
