Google Pixel 6 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro CAMERA review

We review the new Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone ($900 at sdp.io/pixel6pro) vs the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max to see which has the better camera. We test the action panning with motorsports, portrait photography (both telephoto and wide-angle), long exposures (both on-and-off a tripod), night photography, and astrophotography (with and without a tripod), and daylight photography. The winner is really shocking-the iPhone has been defeated and we have a NEW best smartphone camera champion!

[@319.e]

The iPhone does have wide angle portraits and wide angle night portraits. You might want to go back over that part of the video. Absolutely huge slip up. It can be accessed on the portrait mode live view through tapping the little circle with the “3x” in the bottom left corner switching between the 1x and 3x lenses while retaining the portrait mode.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

True & sorry I overlooked that! It’s weird they move the zoom function in Portrait mode from directly above the shutter button. Pinning this so others see; I wish there were a better way to annotate videos.

[@Artmanifesto]

@@TonyAndChelsea this video is very misleading. And very had to understand.the points where randomly added to the pixel and not to the iPhone when it wins

The 6 Pro also lets you use the periscope camera for astrophotography according to some users. This leads to even better results from Andromeda.

Love your camera reviews! I get so board seeing huge reviewers slightly comparing colors and selfies. You guys went way further and actually talk about telephoto shots, macro shots, long exposures, and you made the differences super easy to see! I know you guys are photography pros, but I would love to see video comparison between the 2 as well!

[@Starphixx]

I would recommend using the 4x Lens on the Pixel to take portrait shots (not portrait mode). Produces some stellar portraits with real bokeh. Many reviewers miss this, but for me its a huge advantage :)

[@gamemology2000]

I agreed

[@sidersproductions941]

Agree completely until Google fixes this. My Pixel 3a currently takes better portrait mode shots than the 6 Pro.

[@sulabhghimire250]

@@sidersproductions941 Oh well my point was that portrait shots with the 6 pros 4x lens (no portrait mode) is better than any portrait Mode on any phone. :) longer focal length and natural bokeh wins any day of the week because the face looks better the further away you are when you take the photo. Wide angle lenses make faces look unnatural and worse :D

For Canon EOS R - Landscape photography on a tripod at 24mm. Does it make sense to buy RF 24-70 or RF 24-105 L F4? I know that RF 24-70 is sharper at the corners. Does it have better contrast and color rendition? Does it make sense to spend so much more money on RF 24-70 over RF 24-105 L F4 for landscape at 24mm at F8? Basically, my question is - how big is the difference at 24mm at F8? Will I be able to tell the difference on a processed landscape RAW file on 55 inch LG CX OLED? Thank you.

[@marcdesilva1644]

Great video.Hope you guys try out the Vivo X70 pro plus.

[@karlijnb94]

Google Pixel 6 Pro users, do you also have this experience of too much contrast, shadow and texture/oversharpening, without being able to adjust the camerasettings? It's like the 6 Pro ads a filter after taking the picture, which makes it look way different. Backgrounds and faces are oversharpened and red tones are gone. In portretmode there is a hard line between person and background and you can't adjust the blur to make this less visible. Many people and sites recommend it as the smartphone with 'the best camera', so do I oversee any settings? If not, do you recommend another (android) phone for (portret)photo and video?

[@zubamans]

OMG thanks very much. I really wished you did this and now you have. It's better to watch a photographer review the camera on a smartphone.

[@davidbuchanan3374]

A big Hello folk's from myself at the Giants Causeway here in Northern Ireland. I've been a great admirer of you two and the multiple reviews you have done over the past few year's and this review on the Pixel 6pro and iPhone 13 Pro max was brilliant as usual. Could I ask for your opinion on the Huawei p40 pro as a stills/night sight camera. I'm not concerned about the p40 pro not having googles operating system just what you think about its photo quality. I've just bought one for £200 and I'm very impressed but I'd like a professional opinion. Best wishes to you both and thank you for your time🍀❤️🍀👍😁

Great comparison. I know it's asking a lot but I'd also like to see some pictures on the newer phones with one of the third party apps that lets you take more control of the camera. I know I use Camera + 2 on my older iPhone 8 and I am sure something like it exists for Android as well.

[@damienlobb85]

This being Google's first major sensor change, I can only imagine it'll only get better with updates. It shoots phenomenal raw which is a great starting point

[@Quoutub]

No, I have returned the Pixel 6 Pro because the noise reduction is more aggressive than previous Google phones and due to many other camera issues. And no, it's not the first major sensor change. Google's multi frame noise reduction HDR+ exists since 2013. Already in 2013 Google combined up to 10 raw files in its HDR+ On mode. Google has used many different sensors since 2013, even sensors from different manufacturers. For example, the selfie camera of the Google Nexus 5x has an Omnivision sensor and also used Google's HDR+. People try to find excuses for Google's mistakes. Google doesn't improve the camera with updates apart from special modes like Night Sight. For example, the Nexus 5x HDR+ On mode takes much better daylight photos than the Pixel 3a. In perfect light conditions it's even better than the Pixel 6 because the Pixel 6 suffers from aggressive noise reduction in perfect light conditions. Actually, Google makes the camera worse with updates. They removed the white balance presets of the Pixel 3a, they removed the ultra wide angle astrophotography mode of the Pixel 5, they decreased the low light image quality of the Nexus 5x, etc. And the Pixel 6 doesn't have the HDR+ enhanced mode of the Pixel 3. HDR+ enhanced is nothing else than a faster/sharper and more reliable Night Sight mode.

[@nasidctg]

I've been using the 5x telephoto lens on my note 20 ultra to capture portraits since day one. Its such a long and compressed lenght that it produces natural bokeh on its own. You don't need a portrait mode for that lens. I bet the pixel can do the same. I don't understand why pro photographers don't do this when reviewing camera phones. 105, 135, 200 are great protrait lengths.

[@Quoutub]

I have experience with an iPhone 13 Mini and with a Pixel 6 Pro. Apple's photographic styles are far less useful than Google's sliders. Apple's photographic styles consist of two sliders: an auto white balance slider and a "tone" slider. Google offers an auto white balance slider, too and it's much easier to use. Google also offers a shadows slider, which is far more useful than Apple's tone slider. Google's shadows slider lets you adjust whether you want an HDR look or not. In combination with the brightness slider, you can basically always avoid blown out highlights and still get a bright photo. Though there is an issue that the camera app often rather reduces the exposure time instead of the analog gain. The iPhone has the advantage that it can save a setting like -0.7 EV, whereas the Pixel resets this whenever you open the camera app or open a photo.

[@Turritopsis-dohrnii]

I swapped from android to apple as i feel apples whole eco system is much smoother. So much so that i can live with any small differences in the cameras. Since using my iphone for photography and even ditching my sony mirrorless plus full frame canon as well as windows power pc. I am entirely focused on composition and story rather then stressing over technical details and whether photo are being uploaded or not or if my pc is gonna do another failed update during photo editing. These things apple has advantage over most other operating systems now. Not having to marry android to windows etc.everything is virtually seemless. So for me thats what makes the camera more desirable.

[@adp98761]

I am in no way a great photographer. I'm an IT security engineer (by trade) but I love photography. From an IT perspective, it would be a one-sided conversation, but photography skews the argument. I have an iPhone 13 Pro (work device) and a Pixel 6 Pro (personal device). The iPhone is a better video camera. Is it significantly better? No.........but the difference is noticeable. The Pixel is the better still photo shooter. Also, if you have 4 mins to spare, put the Pixel 6 Pro on a tripod and take a an astrophotography photo....and you will be amazed. Like all phone conversations though, you need to pick the one that works for you. This comes down to an Android vs iOS conversation. My employer will always give me an iPhone..........and I'll always buy a personal Android device. It really comes down to what works for you. Avoid looking at Geekbench scores, and get the phone that works for you. For the average user, almost any modern smartphone will take pictures and video that are 'good enough'.

Imagine if Google enabled the use of the 4x lens for portrait mode (which they should do).

Actually, the Pixel 6 Pro already lets you take periscope photos with artificial background blur. You just need to open the photo with Google Photos and Google Photos is able to apply an artificial background blur effect due to machine learning. This is also the only method to take 1x portrait photos with the Pixel 6 Pro. But the results are unusable in my opinion and I don't think that Google's portrait mode would perform much better as Google's portrait mode is unusable, too.

I think just like you, but when you talk about shadows information and say that pixel is natural.... Not really. I couldn't take the blue color of my daughter eyes because of the overdark shadows of pixel photos in most scenarios. Overall, I prefer pixel, but hope they fix that because, for me, the eyes of my daughter are the best of the world and to miss that is to miss everything!

Thank you for a decent review by professional photographers, and not by phone reviewers who do not know how to take photos or judge them correctly. I am a Professional photographer and have just bought the Pixel 6 Pro and can only compare it to my old Huawei which was brilliant. The images from this camera/phone are amazing. Not perfect by any means, but considering the sensor size and tiny lenses, very good results can be obtained. You did not mention the Pixel can take RAW files at the same time as JPG. After trying my best in Photoshop to process the RAW files and comparing them to Pixels own processing to JPG, I cannot better their work. This says a lot about their brilliant software. Normally I can always get better results from RAW files. I don't touch the 2X zoom because as you correctly state, it is not a true zoom. The 4X zoom is however brilliant and interestingly is also much better used as a portrait lens. You might want to check out the lock focus that is always on the screen in stills mode. We photographers always lock focus on the subject and re-frame the scene, but the Pixel has a small circle on the screen which you tap on the subject and it will lock on to that point and track it no matter how you frame the scene...brilliant! Have fun with your video testing. I have already tested mine and am very pleased with the results, in fact they are so good I will be using them in my Travel videos alongside my Professional gear.
