Both great phones with the Pixel 2XL pulling slightly ahead. The iPhone X video very impressive with smoother slow motion and sharper images. The 2XL much better at producing true to life images. Ultimately, you can't go wrong with either. Fantastic video 👍
The pixel 2 XL gets the win yet another year. Google is doing an amazing job with computational photography based on machine learning /deep learning (yes, I'm a nerdy computer vision master student...).
XeniX The Gamer literally only sounds good when there is absolutely no background noise. The second there’s any, the Pixel applies a poor attempt at background noise reduction and it sounds awful.
Both are doing well but as you said "iPhone has had portrait mode for 2 years now" the pixel 2 xl in my opinion as a photographer would be the device I would want in my pocket if I didn't have my DSLR with me constantly. Pixel 2 is the overall winner. Great colours, dynamic range, sharpness and all this with a single camera. Well done Google and well done Danny. Thanks for the share and great job.
Great comparison!! Both have their good and bad.. someone looking for a good camera phone who doesn’t care about OS won’t be disappointed with either.. it’s nice there is a good option for people to choose from
The new Pixels are on a whole different level in terms of camera performance. And to think it's mainly software magic. Can't wait for the Pixels Core to be enabled. Wondering if that would further enhance what is already a very impressive camera.
Maybe they were judging on different areas than the still photos. Or, they like the more saturated colours. It's only "plain as day" during the still photo daytime shots :)
Wow pixel 2xl crush the iPhone 10. iPhone 10 over expose every single show in daylight in the area where the highlight are. Yeah the image looks punchier and more over saturatd , which is an other issue, there is no details, and you can't even recover it from the blown out area . Pixel just have way more information and details with more realistic color. You can always bring up saturation and contrast if you want in the post, but once the information is lost, it lost. I don't think I need to say anything about the lowlights photos, the results looks like the iPhone 10 is from 3 years ago. No competition here.
Excellent video! One of the best I had ever seen on phone camera comparison. Thank you! I'd love to see you compare U11 vs iPhone X vs Pixel2 vs Pixel(1) cameras.
Videos like this reassure me that I should get the Pixel 2 XL. Great job, videos like this no matter what iPhone is being compared usually give all the glory to Apple. Glad to see a video like yours that is strictly Apple fan based.
Awesome job my man! Daylight/outdoor = iPhone HDR = iPhone Front = pixel Video = Tie Night/outdoor = pixel Low light/indoor = iPhone Portrait = iPhone rear, pixel front Can’t go wrong either way
Excellent comparison for the most parts but like every other comparison I've seen it completely glosses over the wide-color capture on the iPhone, which makes the colors look much better than any other phone when looking at the images on a native wide-color display like on the iPhone or the Macs. It's a small advantage, considering the lack of widespread wide-color displays and software but it's an advantage worth mentioning anyway.
Can I just say did Apple completely abandon the front facing camera? Because to me it seems as if the 7 megapixel camera is the same as the 7 plus Aside from all the portrait stuff
Nice comparison Danny . both do a good job , and i would probably give the pixel an extra point maybe (not a lot in it though ) , but other flagships are pretty good too in camera , so for me i would pick one with a headphone jack and an sd card and manual controls ;) .
Winner and resolution for 2018 Iphone 8 plus or X for my wife Pixel XL for myself. Both cameras are doing exceptionally great. Best cameras of 2017 so far.
I belive the blown-out stuff is the camera "misinterpreting the situation" based on the chosen focus point. That is easily fixed by choosing the focus point manually. You can see it on the face that it is underexposed compared to the Pixel. That being said, I like what the Pixel does with the sharpness. When it does not overdo it, it does great. I need better equipment to have a verdict on the audio, but one thing that comes to mind is that louder sound often mean more compressed sound. Lower sound can mean more information is actually there. I would like to know the specs of the audio codecs used (I might need to check on that).
Thanks for the video. Looking at it on my laptop I have to prefer most of the iPhoneX images. Yes, as you say, in low light some of the detail is blown out compared to the Pixel but again in general I prefer the colour balance of the Apple. Just goes to show how much preferences matter!
I hope you don't design a speaker, because that Pixel mic is terrible. Grainy, silibance in the treble. May sound good at first or if you have "muffled" speakers, but no, it sounds yuk after you get past the initial "it's better because it's louder and there's more treble"
+Rennie Ash. I agree. It seems that the comment section here is flooded with Pixel fanboys. It's fine if people prefer the Pixel's camera, but claiming that it sounds 'better' can only be fanboy talk. The Pixel is currently the WORST sounding phone on the market in the top tier section.
Thanks Danny, now I'm really hungry... Great comparison. You can't go wrong with either phone and like you said, you really have to knit pick to find a clear winner. Pixel 2 XL is just BEAST👌🏾
Great comparison! Probably the best of the ones I have seen between these 2 phones. Would love to see the Note 8 compared to the iPhone X, as I am considering the iPhone X, Note 8, and Pixel 2 XL for purchase.
Danny you do fabulous camera tests wow thanks for your hard work. I think they are both great like you said you can’t go wrong with either one. Some shots the iPhone looks better and then some shots the google pixel looks better. But wow hats 🎩 off to google for making a fabulous camera with just one lens. It keeps up and even passes the iPhone with dual lens. Well done!
SOUND QUALITY: iPhone X microphone sounds like cotton-swabs are stuff in it. Pixel 2XL sounds clearer but a tab bit high on the top-end frequencies that might be slightly unpleasant depending on what you are listening to. (2) PICTURE QUALITY: iPhone X seems slightly more saturated on video in comparison to Pixel 2XL. The HDR seems to be taking full effect and you can see it evident compared to the iPX. (that's my short for 'iPhone X.'.. lol.) The Pixel 2XL is also crisper on photo-details. iPX tends to do a little too much exposure.... Pixel 2XL falls short on night-time / low-light recording in comparison to iPX. Ironically, the iPX night-time colors seems more realistic in your road-example. .... The 2XL stabilization is great. Hopefully, that won't become a bad thing for getting "stretchy" images in fast movement.
Why oh why did Google have to go with that POLED? Its such a glaring flaw compared to the incredible camera and performant phone. Choices, choices, choices. 😞 As usual, a great video Danny. Thank you.
Already the Pixel XL2 results look jaw dropping. Except for night time video. Still, I wonder what the "Pixel Visual Core" chip will bring once it is enabled. It could be a bit of a game changer.
Wow! Both are so great. I love both cameras and even though I am an Apple fan, I see the Pixel 2XL winning. Some photos are better on iPhone X but overall, it has to be the Pixel. Kudos to both companies. So much love!
Google deserves a praise for this achievement. They've done everything with their software and Machine learning. That is absolutely fantastic. I cannot imagine what they would do in the future when they bring dual lens. It would be a no brainer if they bring a telephoto lens. A really commendable job Google!👏🏼
iPhone X tends to blow up highlights in low-light condition while Pixel 2 XL crushes shadows in daytime and always has some noises especially in the sky during night. Pixel also uses higher contrast and gets slightly more details but iPhone seems to take sharper photos across any lighting conditions, with more natural looking colours. It was very close but I like iPhone's pictures more - it just seemed more consistent.
Video is for iphone Photos are for pixel. . Most people care about photos and selfies. No one upload a 4k on their Instagram or Facebook. 1080 p is more than enough. . If you need a secondary camera for video, go with iphone 8 plus with gimbal. .
The iPhone probably delivers a more consistent all round performance given the better audio quality and video in low light. The Px2 you're still sacrificing some things for that good still shot performance.
I think in daylight shots Pixel 2 XL looks a bit darker thus loosing dark details but in the night time shots iPhone burns lighter details. It is a matter of details.
Wow it's hard to say which camera truly is better because both perform well in their own right but it kinda seems like the Pixel has the better camera. Probably not as good as Samaung but still very impressive. 👌🏼

Loved the comparison man! Pixel seems to take this one 😍
Thanks dude! Yeah Pixel FTW!
Noooo
Mrwhosetheboss worng
Hey Boss!
take what? photos yes, videos no, sound no, zoom no
As an iPhone fan, i have to tell that Pixel has the best camera. I admit this.
Pixel 2 xl 🔥
After the first 5 photos I can already see the iPhone tends to overexpose a lot, compared to the Pixel 2, which has better HDR.
Pixel way better, way better dynamic range, colors, white balance and video stabilisation is from another world.
Both great phones with the Pixel 2XL pulling slightly ahead. The iPhone X video very impressive with smoother slow motion and sharper images. The 2XL much better at producing true to life images. Ultimately, you can't go wrong with either. Fantastic video 👍
the pixel software is pretty insane and i'd say ahead of anything else on the market. its clear as day.
Wacky Wakes which place id this?
The pixel 2 XL gets the win yet another year. Google is doing an amazing job with computational photography based on machine learning /deep learning (yes, I'm a nerdy computer vision master student...).
P2XL king bruh. Love this phone
LaShun I have the pixel 2 and it's amazing man. In every way!!
Leobardo Rizo very beastly
LaShun. Note 8 is king of 2017
KVN bruh watch out with that BS. Not even a challenge. 🤦🏾♂️
KVN note 8 and all Samsung products are garbage. Pixel 2 is next level. Software>Hardware. It's that simple.
Think Pixel 2XL is more detail camera
Pixel 2 is so much better. Kudos
I prefer the Pixel 2 xl....Hands down...
Will Arnold. Same
The pixel 2 sounds better and the pictures looks sharp, hands down the best camera I've seen on a smartphone.
XeniX The Gamer literally only sounds good when there is absolutely no background noise. The second there’s any, the Pixel applies a poor attempt at background noise reduction and it sounds awful.
Manlet Fitness the fix is coming in the next software update
The audio is horrible. Blocks out way too much background noise and makes the voice way too dense and tinny at the same time
WGACA yeah. The 5th best smartphone camera. After iphone 8+. Sit back and watch the no1&2.
Pixel 2XL camera is much better in my opinion
Specs Maniac much might be a bit much
I hate the Pixel's mic
The mic is mediocre as hell
yep XL version has some issues with it .. non XL si fine though
Both are doing well but as you said "iPhone has had portrait mode for 2 years now" the pixel 2 xl in my opinion as a photographer would be the device I would want in my pocket if I didn't have my DSLR with me constantly. Pixel 2 is the overall winner. Great colours, dynamic range, sharpness and all this with a single camera. Well done Google and well done Danny. Thanks for the share and great job.
Pixel2XL the winner hands down 👏👐 no doubt about it. Can't wait for that note 8 and Pixel 2XL comparassion for us Android users.
Pixel is the king of photography!!!
You're great as always 💕 brilliant
Pixel is amazinggg so natural best camera phone now every pic from it perfect
Great comparison!! Both have their good and bad.. someone looking for a good camera phone who doesn’t care about OS won’t be disappointed with either.. it’s nice there is a good option for people to choose from
Couldn't agree more. =)
+Michael T Panetta TRUTH
I was waiting for this video. And above all thanks for all the hard work and efforts. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good work (as usual)! Lookin' forward to future comparisons.
The new Pixels are on a whole different level in terms of camera performance. And to think it's mainly software magic. Can't wait for the Pixels Core to be enabled. Wondering if that would further enhance what is already a very impressive camera.
Google Pixel 2 XL totally won, I have no idea why some are saying iPhone won. Cause it's PLAIN as day. Great video Danny
Maybe they were judging on different areas than the still photos. Or, they like the more saturated colours. It's only "plain as day" during the still photo daytime shots :)
Thank you for such a detailed comparison. torn between the two phones and this was super helpful!
Best test camera comparison i’ve watched so far! Deserves a sub👍🏻
Wow pixel 2xl crush the iPhone 10. iPhone 10 over expose every single show in daylight in the area where the highlight are.

One of the best camera comparison I've seen so far!Expecting more such videos
The Dynamic Range the Google Pixel 2 XL is 👌👌👌👌
+UFCMMA93 Yeah for sure. It’s unreal on some shots.
Awesome review... thank you
Great video .. nice comparison 👌
Man, I don't know where you took these pictures but the landscape is wonderful, take me there
Great comparison in Disney springs. I’m right around the corner from you man. Keep it up
I like your objective reviews, please keep up the good work.
You rocked the comparison! straight to the point, 7 min perfect length.
Thanks!
Google has the best camera I have every fucking seen on a smartphone. This is a coming from an Apple fan
The winner is as expected , but many will disagree Google's choice of more natural colours for its photos
Great video!!
Excellent video! One of the best I had ever seen on phone camera comparison. Thank you!
I'd love to see you compare U11 vs iPhone X vs Pixel2 vs Pixel(1) cameras.
+Steve Lim thank you!
Very well done video !
this was a really good review video
Ur review is unique loved it
That's what we call a comparison , out of this world video sir , really well done
Videos like this reassure me that I should get the Pixel 2 XL. Great job, videos like this no matter what iPhone is being compared usually give all the glory to Apple. Glad to see a video like yours that is strictly Apple fan based.
Loved the vid
Pixel 2 won this one.
Awesome job my man!
Daylight/outdoor = iPhone
HDR = iPhone
Front = pixel
Video = Tie
Night/outdoor = pixel
Low light/indoor = iPhone
Portrait = iPhone rear, pixel front
Can’t go wrong either way
What’s up Danny?!???? Thanks for the video
+Justin Esquibel Yo!
awesome comparison
Absolutely Pixel 2. And the most important thing is it is onlu single lens
Excellent comparison for the most parts but like every other comparison I've seen it completely glosses over the wide-color capture on the iPhone, which makes the colors look much better than any other phone when looking at the images on a native wide-color display like on the iPhone or the Macs.

Pixel 2 is the winner for me as it has more details in most pictures compared to the iphone x
Thanks Danny for this great comparision I would like to go with pixle 2XL
Can I just say did Apple completely abandon the front facing camera? Because to me it seems as if the 7 megapixel camera is the same as the 7 plus
Aside from all the portrait stuff
same mega pixel with new sensor not the old one
Great video. you made my decision so much easier, i'm definitely getting the pixel 2.
Nice comparison Danny .
both do a good job , and i would probably give the pixel an extra point maybe (not a lot in it though ) , but other flagships are pretty good too in camera , so for me i would pick one with a headphone jack and an sd card and manual controls ;) .
Winner and resolution for 2018
Iphone 8 plus or X for my wife
Pixel XL for myself.

Love it the video excellent. I receiving mine today I hope for the best. I even love more the video because the test was done in my backyard Orlando!!
+Jeff L you might see me around! Thanks for watching.
Another great video Danny... Pixel 2 photos better for me...plus the sound is much better on the pixel also
You're right! Pixel 2XL is the best in this comparison. Good video
You are absolutely right , pixel 2 is little bit better .
Thanks Danny, now I'm really hungry... Great comparison. You can't go wrong with either phone and like you said, you really have to knit pick to find a clear winner. Pixel 2 XL is just BEAST👌🏾
I like how you took a picture at Animal Kingdom. I love it there. The pixel 2 xl takes amazing photos and I'm glad I got one. Helpful video 👏
Great comparison! Probably the best of the ones I have seen between these 2 phones. Would love to see the Note 8 compared to the iPhone X, as I am considering the iPhone X, Note 8, and Pixel 2 XL for purchase.
+Sean Martin hmm that the video that’s uploading tomm. Stay tuned!
It looks like you went to Jurassic Park to take these camera samples lol
Danny you do fabulous camera tests wow thanks for your hard work. I think they are both great like you said you can’t go wrong with either one.

Where did you took the shot with the mountain? It’s beautiful over there!
Pixel 2 XL got an excellent win for camera, and I also feel like it sounded clearer in the sound test.
Wow, I knew it.
Can you please do some drop tests of Pixel 2 with Rhinoshield crashguard bumper on (once gets released ).?
You explained it very well
Do compare pixel 2 xl with galaxy s8
Hey Danny, how about throwing the Note8 into the ring along side these 2 giants? that would be a great video.
Awesome video
+Roderick Thomas thank you!
The daytime location around 2.00 - 5.00 mins looks fabulous. Where is it mate?
Dude where do you live?
I thought you were living in Kokiri Forest with some of these shots.
Where are you taking these pics? Place looks amazing and like a place I need to visit.
Why oh why did Google have to go with that POLED? Its such a glaring flaw compared to the incredible camera and performant phone. Choices, choices, choices. 😞
As usual, a great video Danny. Thank you.
So should i buy one of these or a $1200 camera considering that i recently bought a $300 phone?
Already the Pixel XL2 results look jaw dropping. Except for night time video. Still, I wonder what the "Pixel Visual Core" chip will bring once it is enabled. It could be a bit of a game changer.
Google pixel 2 xl
I am agree with you
Nice comparison video. Pixel really takes the lead here.. apparently, eventho i really want one, its not available in the philippines.
How did he know where he was going in the beginning?
Wow! Both are so great. I love both cameras and even though I am an Apple fan, I see the Pixel 2XL winning. Some photos are better on iPhone X but overall, it has to be the Pixel. Kudos to both companies. So much love!
That pizza shot got me hungry immediately...

I cannot imagine what they would do in the future when they bring dual lens. It would be a no brainer if they bring a telephoto lens. A really commendable job Google!👏🏼
Damehuri AD yeah makes sense. As they don't need the telephoto lens to create portraits. Wide angle portraits are awesome!

Pixel also uses higher contrast and gets slightly more details but iPhone seems to take sharper photos across any lighting conditions, with more natural looking colours.

Which phone has better audio?
Video is for iphone

.

.
If you need a secondary camera for video, go with iphone 8 plus with gimbal.

Just upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the pixel 2 XL, well worth it!!
Great comparison! Looks like the Pixel is definitely the way to go.
The iPhone probably delivers a more consistent all round performance given the better audio quality and video in low light. The Px2 you're still sacrificing some things for that good still shot performance.
Definitely the pixel 2 XL is the overallwinner
They both look really good... cant go wrong with either. But google needs to update that video sound quality asap
I think in daylight shots Pixel 2 XL looks a bit darker thus loosing dark details but in the night time shots iPhone burns lighter details. It is a matter of details.
