Best camera comparison I've seen. Very exhaustive and my research will most likely end here. As much as I want 5x zoom over 4x, the Pixel 6 Pro just seems more consistent in quality.
You can literally see that the pixels rely on it's software, you can notice it on the phones view finder it's quite different once clicked ( it does some magic processing). Xiomi for me has natural details maybe they should improve their image processing too.
Same sensor if I'm not mistaken, but better software on the pixel. However I'm still keeping my mi11u for photography and the reason are the excellent manual modes for photo and video which I use more than the point and shoot, especially in low light conditions.
Fair enough, Google has been giving more options for tuning the photos with slides for white balance, shadows, exposure, but a full Pro mode would be nice for those who like full control. Also, the Mi 11U uses the larger Samsung GN2 sensor vs the GN1 on the Pixel.
The pixel just flat takes better pictures. But I agree with you about the manual mode. That's why I used to keep LG flagships every year. I rode LG out till the end with the v60. I love those phones because the manual mode I could take pictures that people thought was done by professional photographer because I went in the manual mode and seized it up
I really like the Pixel 6 Pro results in this side by side it seems to resolve a lot more details in the photos and some of the videos are way better too. great comparison
I was searching the comments to see if someone else noticed the skunk! LOL 16:38 - 16:44. Had he been coming down that path any sooner he might have ended up on top of it! It didn't seem to be in much of a rush to get away.
Great review, thank you. I have a question: which video were more true to life when you capture skies near cell tower? On Xiaomi you can see sky full of clouds and on Pixel sky is almost clear 🤔
Xiaomi was a bit more color accurate since it was a light blue sky. I've been saying that to me the Pixel is boosting colors in video too much. They were too muted in previous Pixels, so they need to find a happy medium to me.
It looks to me like the Pixel 6 takes the overall better, sharper and cleaner photos. The only issue the Pixel 6 has is low light front facing video. On almost all of the shots the Pixel looked better. Great review too.
Pixel has that over-processed, over-sharpened look. If it wasn't for 11U's bad color processing, it produces better quality photos. I prefer the natural sharpening, it looks much more like a DSLR natural bokeh. 5:23 is one of the best examples of a software over-sharpened photo on Pixel vs 11U, you would agree that Pixel looks sharper, because of the contrasted sharpening, but it has less natural detail, and looks artificial, while 11U looks more pleasant.
I cant belive that dxomark rank the mi 11 Ultra on 2nd place and Pixel 6 pro on 7th place. The pro shots much sharper, realisitc photos in my point of view..
I noticed better pixels in portrait mode in detail, but still underlined subjects as usual. In night photos, it's clear that mi 11 ultra has better details, better light handling because pixels often burn strong highlights, and shadow areas are black and noise. mi 11 ultra video is smoother in low light.
Is it me or was the Pixel 6 literally better in every single picture? I didn't see one picture that I would prefer the Xiaomi jeez. Anybody that buys that camera is going to be disappointed if they've had an iPhone or a pixel before that. Cuz that camera is highly disappointing. I kept hearing all these great things about it but now that I've watched it geez I would never buy that. My LG v60 takes better pictures than that
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 In selfie photo as video the Pixel is better. In daytime photography the Pixel is better, at night it's a tie I would say. In daytime video the Xiaomi is clearly better, at night it is also better on the ultra wide angle but not on the main sensor. The problem with the Xiaomi is that it wants to try too hard to light up all the scenes (like 99% of Android smartphones in fact) and it ends up being overexposed. But it is clear that apart from the selfie sensor, the Xiaomi has much better sensors than the Pixel, but the software makes the difference. I imagine this Mi 11 Ultra with Gcam 🤩.
Xiaomi definitely has the slightly better camera hardware. That GN2 sensor clearly lets in a lot more light without the need for night mode, but as you mentioned, not everyone wants the images that bright.
Please do Pixel 6 Pro vs Pixel 4 camera comparison. Wanna see a real difference in photo quality if any. It must be though - as big as the price difference right now.
I think it goes back and forth, with the differences being quite minimal. One probably has better hardware and the other has better software processing of your photos. It all comes down to personal choice
Google's software seems to be struggling this year. I wonder with the new sensor, did they even fine tune the processing algorithms for it, or simply copy and paste over. Hmm. Personally, I'd take a more accurate Xiaomi image and then boost the colors and contrasts a bit to suit my taste. It's easier than trying to "unprocess" an image or remove artifacting from the Pixel's camera.
what are you talking about? The Pixel always looked much more accurate than the xiaomi color wise. Like in the flower photos, you even lose some detail because of how purple the xiami made it look
Good on you Mr Magoo. The Pixel 6 Pro images are significantly better than the Xiaomi images in pretty much every aspect, clarity, colour accuracy, sharpness, consistency etc. The Xiaomi has the edge on bokeh (sometimes) and wider angle camera. The Pixel 6 pro is definitely the benchmark system in 2022.
9:45 damn! Mi 11 Ultra really killing it in dyanmic range. I feel overall it was doing better for videos with closer to reality colors. Which one did better and was closer to reality, Grant?
Goes back and forth. Pixel boosts colors a bit in processing to get a more dynamic look with more contrast. The 11 Ultra leans towards more natural colors, but the auto white balance can throw the image off at times.
Your videos are very interesting, you should shoot raw to see how the performance is, that's when you really see the potential of the sensors, it would be great to see some examples for which we understand a little more about photography, greetings from Argentina and thank you .
Excellent comparison !! Wonderful work. As I said before, your videos are references for smartphone buyers. Happy to have gone from Mi10 ultra to Pixel 6 pro. It just lacks the fast charge and a better FOV for the ultra wide angle and it would have been perfect 😂. thank you 🙏
Better if compared to one alternative as in "better than the rest". Best if compared to two or more alternatives as in "the best among all smartphone cameras".
@@GrantLikesTech Yeah I don't know what the hell why whenever I try to take a picture of my dog or cat the xiaomi super smart AI mode decides tu put on a yellow filter on pet photos for some reason
Mi 11 Ultra produces some of the most crisp and accurate bokeh blur thanks to the huge camera in the back. Pixel 6 Pro seems cheap and you can clearly see the digitally blurred around the edges of the in-focused subject.
Best camera comparison I've seen. Very exhaustive and my research will most likely end here. As much as I want 5x zoom over 4x, the Pixel 6 Pro just seems more consistent in quality.
Excellent comparison of two great camera systems. Thanks for showing each photo individually and then doing the side by side views.
As always, thank you Grant you are truly appreciated!
Also, I know it is added work to show the camera app as well. Thanks for the hard work!
Thanks Barry, always appreciate your feedback and support.

Pixel mic audio sounds great against other flagships
Yeah, I really like the speech enhancement feature and would like that on the rear camera too.
@@GrantLikesTech Is it only on the selfie camera? I can see the logic of that, but surely they could make it optional for the rear cameras.
Great video comparison. 👍
Thank you sir!

Both are good, Who is more natural?
Pixel is processed, so colors are fairly accurate in photos but a bit boosted in video to me. Xiaomi is a bit more muted.
Pixel is usually more natural 👍

Google Pixel is Always Bast👌
Photo for pixel 6 pro
Video for mi11 ultra
Ultrawide for sure Mi11 Ultra
Simple Video! Exactly what a camera comparison should be!

Acabo de ver este vídeo y me acabo de comprar el Pixel, impresionante el resultado que ofrece. Gracias por el vídeo!
Awesome review! thank you 💯
Why does the Mi 11 ultra take so much brighter photos in auto Mode? (in night)
Bigger sensor, let's in more light
Please do Pixel 6 Pro vs Pixel 4 camera comparison. Wanna see a real difference in photo quality if any. It must be though - as big as the price difference right now.
I think it goes back and forth, with the differences being quite minimal. One probably has better hardware and the other has better software processing of your photos. It all comes down to personal choice
Well said
Very close. Only the UW camera is clearly better on the Mi 11 U.
Agreed, I admit the same in my summary opinion at the end.

China phones and natural pictures is an oxymoron.
Pixel are just like iphones

I feel like mi paid huge amounts to dxo for keeping their camera at no 1
Xioami doesn't do much of processing.
Watching this video in my Mi 11 ultra 🤭
I hope that it fixes the noise on pixel 6
Me too, not sure what's going on with selfie video in low light.
Thank you
Good vedio thanks
Is it good idea swap oppo find X3 pro to pixel 6 pro?
No🤣
Yes! And the above comment! 🤪

pixel 6 pro would be fire, the bad thing is that it charges hella slow, 2 hours to charge? That reaaallly sucks.
I like it
I think you made an effort to take bad photos with Mi 11 Ultra
Lol, I KNOW you're wrong. I think the photos look pretty good. Seems more like your own issue you need to resolve. 😉
Indeed
Thanks
Welcome

Mi 11 Ultra with MTSL 8.3 gcam absolutely destroying the Pixel 6. Just saying .
Pixel for me.
Pixel 6 for me
Mi 11 Ultra the best
BEST
Better if compared to one alternative as in "better than the rest". Best if compared to two or more alternatives as in "the best among all smartphone cameras".
Viendo una comparativa contra el pixel te das cuenta del mal software de xiaomi
Ultra is better
Pixel sharper
Why not enable ai in the xiaomi to make it equal? Pixel is all about ai
I found that it doesn't make much difference, and when it does it often looks worse (boosting colors, clipping reds, etc).
@@GrantLikesTech Yeah I don't know what the hell why whenever I try to take a picture of my dog or cat the xiaomi super smart AI mode decides tu put on a yellow filter on pet photos for some reason

After analyze pixel 6 pro is definitely better
I have mi 11ultra .Never bad photos like that. I think he hate xiaomi .
Pixel 6 far better 😲
Pixel smash everybody
WHY DOES PIXEL 6 REAR CAMERA IS ALWAYS GRAINY?
Mi 11 ultra still the king 👑 overall looks more natural
My god.! Pixel crushed mi11U in still photos and day time shots.!
I like mi 11 colors better
