The video I've been waiting for! I agree that there is a lot of noise on the Pixel 6 Pro in low light. Google hyped that larger sensor so much I thought I was doing something wrong with mine. Amazing comparison and I'm sure editing the video took a long time!

Agree. Google post processing is too aggressive introducing so much noise. It’s crazy how Apple went from dead last in low light with iPhone XS to now being the best one in low light.

[@RH-nk7eo]

So many examples here where the S21 was the better image but there was no mention of it at all. Felt more like a direct Pixel/iPhone comparison for the most part. Also the 2x for the Pixel is a digital zoom as its optical is 4x. So not a fair comparison to compare it to the 3x of the other phones.

[@splash8429]

Recency bias ig😂.

I also noticed this alot and it was quite annoying.. He hardly mentions it when the s21 ultra took a far better shot.

Exactly, to me it was between the Pixel 6 Pro and the S21 ultra, I've been watching other comparation videos, and some KZbinrs always try to make the iphone look better.

[@franzenz8994]

Exactly. Reviewing a phone without knowing how much zoom the zoom lens has. Also barely mentioning the Samsung phone.

[@NippleSauce]

He didn't seem to be judging it exclusively on image clarity (where the S21U clearly takes the cake). He was basing his statements on overall photographic quality. So clarity is included, but also color accuracy, dynamic range, contrast, etc. Regardless, some opinions go into any overview KZbin video; but I feel that this man kept it pretty balanced with the overall take if he was solely judging it based upon *total* photo quality.

[@EnglishDanReviews]

Good video Danny. People dont understand or appreciate the sheer amount of work to put this kind of thing together actually takes. I like my 6 Pro but it 100% needs some help with the camera software

Same.. One could argue that it's the all around best of the 3, although at this point you could probably make that argument for each of them. In all honesty, Google has some software they need to improve on this one. So much potential though. If they stick with it, they could definitely be the definitive top of the Android smartphone world in the next couple year's (right when I pay off my S21 Ultra😉).

I've been reading that the pixel portrait settings are maxed by default and I wonder if turning it down would have really changed how some of those portrait pictures came out. I never liked mine maxed out and I bet that would have fixed some of the hair blending into the background.

[@eskimofo9i6]

Yes we need someone to make this adjustment and then do another comparison

[@elvisdax]

Wait so there's an option to lower the portrait effect?

[@MikeyGi]

After taking the portrait photo you need to go to edit -> Blur and you can adjust it. That's how it works on Pixel 4xl and 5

[@RennieAsh]

Sometimes people need to look further than "oh it missed this spot". In that spot, there was a pole whereas it wasn't in the other two - perhaps the AI will struggle when you place things like that behind the subject :)

[@elinavance3476]

I agree, and I would do the same, but if he changes something after the pic is taken, then he has to do the same with the other phones: iPhone: "photographic styles", choosing longer exposure with the night mode Pixel: changing blur, choosing contrast and shadows before the photo is taken Samsung: pro mode (a video comparison, where someone is taking the "optimal" photos would be nice, but highly subjective.)

[@loganchamb]

The part where you mentioned it's not using the telephoto lens on the Pixel, is because it isn't. The telephoto is 4x on the Pixel and 3x on the iphone. Meaning of course it looks more digital as the Pixel is cropping in digitally, and the iphone is using it's telephoto lens. Not really an apples to apples comparison, and not sure they can fix that with a software update.

[@nickmotsarsky4382]

I saw another review that said there is no option at the moment to use the 4x lens for portraits on the Pixel. Enabling it would be the fix. Just have a 1x/4x Portrait selector.

[@harshil102]

They can't fix 2x beyond incrementally improving the computation quality on digital zooms. The real fix is offering a 1x and 4x portrait. The 2x I get for ease of use in terms of subject distance, but they chose a 4x lens, I think they need to commit to that and offer it as a zoom option for portraits at minimum and somehow indicate the 2x as a less encouraged zoom level ideally.

[@RennieAsh]

4x zoom probably offers natural bokeh of sorts anyway if you're taking photos close to its minimum range.

I love taking astrophotography shots, so we'll be waiting for those if you have the time. Hopefully, the software updates will change the game and they'll manage to take advantage of the tensor chip more efficiently. Thank you!

I have the pixel 4xl and yeah....I am....bummed a bit, it seems the photos the P6 produced in this video look not as nice as my 4xl. Bizarre to say the least, I really want to upgrade due to battery life, but I don't know if it's worth it now ugh

[@MRFRACOLLA]

@@sacredpredictions3302 as of now (today), I don't think it's worth the upgrade. I factory reset my P4 right when the A12 software update came out, and it's basically a brand new phone.

Use the 4x to take portrait Photos next time, it gives the best results by far and turn down the background blur to 50% from the default 100%

[@swipyduck]

Very useful and exhaustive, thanks! I am on 6 Pro, and I have to say, when it comes to raw shots, I always refer the Pixel way, as it's wayy more post-processing friendly than the iPhones, who basically caliber the average social media picture. Using the 4X zoom on the 6 Pro was a blast, I really enjoy the bum in hardware specs! I do have to say that iPhone's Portrait mode is a killer in every shots you've taken. the bokeh effect is just behyond the other two

[@alexp-de]

I'd choose the S21 overall. What I notice with these new smartphone is, that the night modes are now so advanced in adding light and details that it makes the images look like they were not taken at dark light. It harms the image quality in my opinion because it doesn't look natural anymore. They should try to keep some of the darkness and don't just totally blow up the brightness. Darkness is a thing.

[@caleidoo]

4:45 it's obviously because the Pixel has the only portrait where the electrical tower at back touches the edge of the boy's black hair. In both other photos, it's behind the head - causing less confusion within the algorithm. Same thing at 17:45. The hair is black and so is the part in the background, so it melts it together - but only the Pixel had to work that out. Both other devices had a bright green background at that spot.

Although A15 bionic is maybe the 20th generation, Google's Tensor first gen is really competitive to companies that have years and years of experience, learning and research on their own processors.

Even this one will get waaay better after a couple of months of learning and updates ! My S10+ has been doing really amazing job for 2 years now and still going smooth and nice with no issues ! I'm planning on upgrading and I was thinking of S21U but now with the Pixel 6 pro release, it bacame on the top of my list for now ! But the only thing is making me hesitant is the long term heavy use of this new processor and how long it will survive.

[@RayDusso]

Google didn't create any processor, they did a System on a chip (SOC). Tensor processor used are still the same Arm Cortex X1/A76 CPU used in older Snapdragon. Apple use their own custom CPU microarchitecture also designed by ARM and produced by TSMC. The real advantage for doing this is to get rid of Qualcomm middleman cut.

[@nahush6299]

Maybe because much of what Google did is focused on the design part or the configuration rather than actually doing R&D on hardware? Tensor still uses the same old ARM cores & Mali gpu(a different config) that every other smartphone has. Not taking away from the effort & research put into the design & software part but it is what it is.

All Android manufacturers must review this, especially since it affects sharpness and stabilization in night video.

Isn't it actually more fair to have all the AI/smart features turned on? Most people will use it like that I'd imagine and the company probably expects that as well. If one manufacturer doesn't have it it's their problem. On the other hand it can make test results unbalanced so it's a tough call

[@dannywinget]

Yup I did that before and people FREAKED OUT. I just turn it all off if I can.

[@ztfilms5047]

The same argument can be made for pro mode and 108 mp mode on the Samsung. Using either of those gives much better results in good conditions

[@RennieAsh]

Given these comparisons tend to focus on realism/accuracy to the scene, it's best to turn AI enhance off. With them on, it becomes more of a personal preference thing.

[@592Johno]

@@RennieAsh no not really? Most people which is the demographic of these phones won't turn those things off.

[@RennieAsh]

@@592Johno most people also don't nitpick photos or care about which one is "better"

[@scottishbarnss]

Great observation on the night photos exposure time. With a much larger sensor than before, there's literally no reason for the pixel to require more than 1s of exposure time, hand held. They need to adjust their algorithms for default night mode shots with options for manual exposure time because real world usability > slightly boosted unrealistic shadows

[@Quoutub]

Yes, this issue exists at least since the Pixel 3a (takes up to nearly 7 seconds). I did send feedback to Google, but they don't listen. I never understood why some reviewers praised Night Sight because this issue exists since at least the Pixel 3a as I said and HDR+ enhanced performs better. Some reviewers simply don't know how to examine image quality. The main problem is the exposure time per frame: 1/3s-1s per frame. HDR+ enhanced is much faster and sharper due to 1/5s per frame, but Pixel 4/5/6 don't have HDR+ enhanced. It's a huge issue and makes Night Sight nearly unusable. The Pixel 6 captures nearly 3 times as much light per time as the Pixel 3, so there's really no excuse.

[@jiriq8853]

Hard to say which one is the best.. every of these makes the best pictures in some scenarios, you cant go wrong with any of these

[@nazmulsajeeb]

Waah, what a video you just made man. Great work. Keep it up. 👏

[@jonathanlin1000]

Would have loved to see the 6 Pro tele lens used for portraits (not portrait mode, just actual shots of the models), as well as for macro. Other comparisons have found it to produce exceptional results in both areas, and it could make the difference for someone comparing between the regular 6 and the 6 Pro (or something else). Otherwise, really appreciate the video!

[@potato7810]

amazing video as always.. Always love to hear your opinions about those photos

[@irod642]

I think that the fact that the S21U continues to dominate in certain areas and remains extremly competitive in the rest making it arguably the best overall camera, after almost a year of existence, says a lot about the phone. Apple and Google had their chance to surpass it and at best, they matched it.

[@bryanalexander4490]

Colors are so weird on s21, Google did a good job with selfies and skin colors, Samsung it's just in the video cuz I'ts the Samsung flagship but it's not good at all

[@d.n.k.77]

I've never seen this much detailed camera comparison before, wow 🔥

[@JMurph2015]

Relevant note for your 2x Portrait issues: the Pixel's telephoto lens is 4x folded optics, so for anything less than 4x it's going to be a crop of the main sensor.

[@Rajat23J]

One of the better videos around camera comparisons..kudos!!!

[@stallonyribeiro_]

Primeira vez que vejo a diferença mínima entre os concorrentes, ótimos!!!

[@angelsilvz]

E é a primeira vez q vejo um comentarista br em análise de fotos gringas, milagre!

[@revenge217]

Só gringo kkkkk

[@ryansallesz]

Mínima eu não diria. S21U tá ridículo a noite, fotos muito soft, infelizmente. É meu top de linha favorito mas eles precisam urgente mudar esse pós processamento em fotos noturnas (no modo automático)

[@VozLetras]

@@ryansallesz Tem certeza que viu todo vídeo? Porque que eu vi o s21u se destacando. Você reparou ma nitidez amigo. O s21u foi soberano. Em qualidade de imagem e nitidez.

[@ryansallesz]

@@VozLetras eu me refiro apenas em fotos a noite que não foram usadas o modo noturno, que foram tiradas no modo automático.

[@LouisaKateH]

most thorough comparison i've seen so far :) love it!

[@imrankhan-ob3es]

You just cant beat the pixels processing, i was actually surprised how good the galaxy did

[@assankanatov6826]

Great job mate! Really liked your comparison! It feels that you are really objective one

[@Jedan4664]

Can't wait for the Sony Xperia Pro-1 to get in the mix with their new 1" sensor. Let the games begin! RIP LG because I would've loved to see their innovation into the next generation. Currently looking to replace my LG V60. Thanks for the comparison! Going to subscribe and hit the bell.

[@sikandarnaseer1777]

theres already a comparison up with the 13 pro max camera

[@ebbintv]

Most honest smartphone camera comparison I have ever seen... Thank you.👍

[@WilliamGraves1]

Thank you for this. Fantastic video. And I rely solely on my smartphone in Disney World, so it was particularly relevent. :D I left the Pixel 4XL for the S21 Ultra, but I miss the vanilla Android experience too much. Switching back to Pixel 6.

[@dannywinget]

I hope it helps! Unfortunately Vanilla Android doesn’t exist. The Pixel Android experience is Google-fied but I don’t find that to be bad. Software is great this year.

[@ashtonkee5868]

Most thorough camera review video ever! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 well done

[@KesleyBenedet]

Good job man!! iphone 13 seems to be a step ahead in all around camera usage this year. I don't enjoy HDR comparisons because in real life you just touch the part of the screen you want that right balance and exposure.

[@zaeemmohamad3900]

This is the video which i was waiting 🔥

[@gcntech9071]

All 3 can be a great choice, the iPhone has a small edge especially on videos and some photo situations but I think we haven't seen the full capabilities of the Pixel yet. After a month or two the test must be repeated!

[@wellszhou8286]

Yes, also can tell iPhone’s camera clearly need more optimizing too

[@4ronf]

Thank you. Amazing work!

[@jamiehat42]

Very fine video! I am so amped up to trade my S21 for a Pixel 6, but after seeing your video, it gives me pause. A quick camera comparison in store, (Best Buy), had me very impressed with the Pixel 6, & and the way it CRUSHES the details. Maybe I just prefer that high HDR look...

[@SuperGeminitv]

S21 ultra best camera

[@Andrew-gt5eo]

Awesome video!!! Very detailed and clearly a lot of effort was put in 😁

[@sabujbarua6883]

All of device perform so well overall my choice S21 Ultra

[@rickjason215]

The S21 is a year old and to my eyes, it is the closest to a real camera.
