Google Pixel 6 Pro vs Pixel 5 vs Pixel 4 XL Camera Comparison | December camera update!

[@AllLove0307]

Thanks for your content. Honestly if you're just going off cameras, the 4XL and 5 are white fine if you have them. 6 Pro has some advantages with the bigger sensor and newer hardware stuff, but you're not far off with the other phones.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself.

[@AllLove0307]

@@GrantLikesTech there's so much Google could have done with the 6 Pro. Allow Raw images with the full 50mp resolution. Allow actual pro mode features even though Google has features that mimic what pro mode does. Pro video, portrait video...maybe for Pixel 7? Once they get used to their own Tensor chip they can push the boundaries. And give us with Samsung and Apple gives us as far as different sizes. 6.1, 6.4. 6.7. Headphone jack on all models and let's do two cameras on the front even if it has a slight forehead. Wide and ultrawide.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Agree 💯

[@AllLove0307]

@@robertclarkguitar I was amped to get the pixel 6 pro but two things happened rather quickly. One I realized I got tired of big phones. Two was that it didn't seem good enough to upgrade from a Pixel 5. Although there could be several reasons for most, I just didn't feel the need to move up

[@robertclarkguitar]

@@AllLove0307 I had 249.00. Wanted a one plus 7t. But I missed my nexus series and was currently on a note 9. I saw the pixel 4xl was being railed in price and studied up. It's not perfect ...But it is amazing still to me. Odd I see the one plus 8 is on sale right now for 249.00 brand new from one plus site. Not sure how long but honestly , I'm still loving the optimization of pixel 4xl and imagine the 5 although running the gaming chip upper mid range snapdragon is still a better choice for longevity ...I couldn't agree more with sticking with either of the 4 series , 4a5g , 5 etc ...not missing much. Perhaps the 7 will be the best one yet. Hahah. Thanks man.

[@nicolassy1927]

unlike other youtubers, you actually show the screen recording when taking the photos itself and the "processing" speed. thank you for this!

[@GrantLikesTech]

Glad you liked the screen recordings. Makes my editing longer, but glad to hear it helps.

[@TimBrownTown]

Thanks Grant. I really love how you test without introducing bias into your videos and do the same scenes. It helps to compare the cameras, as well as to gauge whether or not there have been any changes with updates. The biggest surprise is the low light performance on the Pixel 6 pro, which doesn't seem to have been corrected with the camera update.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glqd you find these helpful.

[@BradleyLarcher]

Another great camera comparison. The 4 and 5 hold their own quite well. The rear camera on the 6 has less noise in low light, but the front not so much, and processing time looks to have been improved a bit

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks Bradley! I feel this offers a Pixel for everyone. Those who appreciate the advancements in the 6/6Pro have an option, and those who don't care/notice have lower priced offerings without compromising a lot in image processing.

[@shahezahmed9960]

This is the most comprehensive video you can find on the youtube. As someone you have used both pixel 4xl and pixel 5. Kudos to you for including the processing time. I also want to mention that when opening th camera app on the first time pixel 5 takes about 2-3 seconds to enter the camera app. Whereas pixel 4xl maybe take half of that. Which is significant when capturing kids and pets photos. when you quickly want to capture the moment.

[@jubril_juma]

Mad props to Grant for this highly detailed review. Super impressive in its depth of quality, editing and pacing. Recording the camera screens and showing the results is just pure gold! Well done!

[@ungiancarlo]

This is the best camera comparison i have seen so far about the Pixel 6, very well done! 👏(loved that you include the Pixel 4xl and 5)

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glad you liked it

[@CarlosRodriguez-uz7hi]

Thank you, I was waiting for this! I believe the Pixel 5 takes the best photos overall, and I notice the Pixel 6 pro front camera kind of smoothen the skin, like a filter or some, great work Grant.

[@genderaffirmed]

My man thank you.. The 4xl held its own in some of those close ups and zoom photos but overall the 6 seems to be the winner in most instances other than low light front face camera.

[@dis6900]

Not a huge difference between the 3 phones. Coming from a Pixel 5 to the 6P, I do appreciate the faster processing overall. Pixel 5 while a great device, took a good bit longer to process photos/portraits. Still amazed the 4 and 5 hold up with that aging sensor.

[@dragossusi]

Isn't the pixel 6 using the same cameras(some of them)

[@dis6900]

[@cutflow2]

i just found you and because of this video i will subscribe. i believe you should also include 150 and 200 percent crop in all your samples. you should also include 4x and 7x in all your samples, i think your 28min video will rescue me from watching so many different 5-15min videos. i think you can go longer than 28min and you should. for example here in the park where you are taking selfies, you could have paused the video and talk over to which one reflects real life colors, when hat looks like in real life, you couldve cropped in to see which one has more details and do like a voice over as well. doing this will make people prefer to watch a deeper analysis instead of following 5-9 channels to see the same phone vs phone comparison. it will be easier to just subscribe to you only. i think you should look into this idea and take what you can get out of it. i follow too many people because everyone has a different analysis, but watching this video, you by far give the most detailed information, just lacking a bit more information, and who cares, make the video 35-40min it will be well worth it. i havent checked your videos section yet, but i hope there is some deep camera comparison videos, where you even take the pixel, shoot raw with it, and compare deeply with what you can do with that and comparison with other devices. 15:10 here you could've done like some voice over of which camera gives the real reflection of your black shirt, and makes your shirt look true to life. 16:10 here i notice you move around to fast, but you forgot to also move around slow, you said the 6pro was handling something better but i think you should slowly shift around to see how they all adapt. 16:32 sir how is this night shots, when you forgot to use night sight feature? 19:11 here you could've cropped in specifically to the brach tree on the right side of the picture and see who holds the most details. and voice over it all and include which one looks true to life. 20:21 great time to voice over and talk about the 4 having better processing about the trees etc. wtf, etc, how could this happen, etc. look at the detail on the ground of the 4, its crazy. 20:36 did the pixel 4 just win again here? 24:58 4 doesnt have auto focus, so your missing, manually tapping your finger on your face to auto focus. you missed this ;/ then it would be a good comparison. 20:03 you should have taken this time to switch from 60fps to 30fps, then 4k to 1080, again 60fps to 30fps to see what is the best settings for 6pro, wouldve been interesting brother.

[@stackyychan]

The Pixel 5 is the most slept on Pixel to date. Still a better buy then the 4a, 5a, 4a 5G

[@kaiser5931]

This channel is so underrated, very detail and honest, one of the best camera comparison I've ever seen Great job man 🔥🔥

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, much appreciated

[@alexanderandel1008]

Thanks for this great comparison! I have the 4 XL and the 6 (non pro) here, and I can't see that much of a difference between them both. It seems, that the 6 tends to be on the warmer side, compared with the 4 XL. And it is a tiny (!) bit sharper on its main lens. At all it's not that big jump which I was expecting. This may be because also the older Pixel made exceptional photos which are hard to top.

[@lowbudgetechie]

The pixel camera image are almost identical from pixel 3 to pixel 6 in day light, google image processing is so good that it's very hard for it to be better,, upgrading from pixel 3 to 6 just for the camera would leave you disappointed

The Pixel 6/Pro is better but to me is not a big improvement. They almost look the same to me.

[@rolins3279]

For me the best deal is the Pixel 4XL which can be had around $350 new. It's clear that it's better than the Pixel 5, and I really don't see what the Pixel 6 Pro has more than it at $900 🤷🏽‍♂️.

[@danoliver8804]

Definitely....this video just saved me the expenses of not buying a Pixel 6. Happy with the 4xl. I never use an ultrawide lens.

[@rkgsd]

Thanks I just canceled my Pixel 6 order and keeping my 4

[@GrantLikesTech]

I miss the matte glass of the 4

[@mole1596]

Video on the Pixel 6 is actually the best on any Android phone, especially in low light. It lets noise be noise, but it's very sharp and natural with great HDR. It doesn't touch the iPhone yet, but it can get even closer if Google gives it more natural colours in daylight and dials back the shakiness in low light. To have a look for yourself, just get to the low-light video bit and start pausing randomly and evaluate each frame. It's the sharpest picture here, and even sharper than the iPhone, which is an achievement.

[@gentle246gy]

It never true

[@bastian.michel]

Plain wrong. Oneplus 9 Pro beats it in lowligt by far. Like the Vivo X70 pro. Both much better than the Pixel 6 pro. It has so much noise in lowlight.

[@gearupaaron]

Great one, Grant! Seems like the algorithm on the P6 series ain't fully optimized with the hardware (yet); it's like it's being held back. I've compared all the way back to the Pixel 2 XL and also didn't find THAT huge of a jump in the 6. It'll be cool if Google just flipped the switch one day and boom - night and day difference, rather than incremental changes/updates here and there.

[@GrantLikesTech]

That's just a nod to how good their software image processing is that it can still hold up on older devices. The larger sensor helps with more natural bokeh and some nice macros with the telephoto lens, but in the end Pixel processing is still Pixel processing.

[@gearupaaron]

[@luan05]

Waiting for this a long long time ago. Live view when shooting in low light. Amazing bro.

[@bolonka05]

Вот она магия пикселя в действии ❤ ❤❤ спасибо за сравнение!

[@Stemorrow]

The 7x shots of the ducks really show the weakness of the Pixel 5's zoom. The 4XL is MUCH better at zoomed in shots than the 5. Glad I skipped from a 4XL to a 6 Pro, which handles zoom shots even better than the 4XL.

[@romanstein13]

Man, you're God! Thanks for that unique comparison! It's amazing work 👍 I've notice that Google made a huge step in video, maybe Pixel 6 pro has the best zoom camera on the market. But if we talking about main camera, 4xl is still the beast. I love white balance and detail that he produce. It will be interesting to repeat this comparison in 3-4 months to see how Google updates new camera. Thank you one more time, have a great day ✌️

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks for watching and commenting as always, Roman!

[@BatayaRulZ]

Great and very detail video man... But...From P 2xl to P 6/6Pro maybe, just maybe 10 percent gain.

[@stephenlewis9654]

The 6 pro comes out on top but you've shown you don't really need the latest phones to get a decent result having used all 3 you find out that day to day they don't feel that different I mean ok you can open apps faster better screen and a more versatile camera set up but the 4xl isn't a slouch or the pixel 5.

[@sinhtv92]

Pixel 4xl video ok 😊😊😊😊

[@mrfragger87]

Great comparison again! Apart from low light selfie performance I think the Pixel 6 Pro was the best, but I don't like how it goes overboard with the saturation sometimes. It looks like it depends on the scene, because it's most noticable in pictures with a blue sky and trees/leaves. It also happens in video a lot, but when you switch to the 4× optical lens at 11:40 the colors become much more natural it seems. Does that camera use different software or is that also because of some automatic scene detection? I overall like the daytime images and video of the optical zoomlens more than the main and ultrawide, because they look a bit more natural.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Same camera software on the telephoto, but I do agree the colors are enhanced and that telephoto is quite good.

[@colorcolumns]

4xl is far better than last year models

[@abhishekshah581]

[@duybaonguyen7519]

Wow, really interesting comparison. I appreciate it Overall, 3 pixels is kind the same in all most cases. Really amazing with 4xl performance, still really good after those years. 6P still hasn't fix color problem, it's boosted saturation of blue and green tones. Also the WB is unstable, in daylight a little bit cooler, but at night is warmer. I have to admit that video in daylight really good, picture processing speed really fast.

[@ssaini5028]

Its kinda of a slap in the face for the tech community that for years torched Google for using the same old IMX363 sensor for years. Now there is a bigger better sensor in the Pixel 6 and image quality isn't a big step up as they hoped it would be. Smartphone cameras are all about software and ISP, camera sensors do not make a massive difference. Tech Community really does not understand smartphone cameras and the philosophy behind them.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Hardware definitely can make a difference (I.e. more natural bokeh without needing portrait mode), but software image processing definitely is what makes up the gap since these sensors can only be so large in small devices.

[@Solution-Design]

The only reason to switch from a Pixel 4XL to a Pixel 6 is thus: It's new. The battery lasts longer. Software updates. Whereby, the most important one is now available in the Store. Great test. I do not often see such great comparisons.

[@iraklibeggi7385]

[@zac2877]

same ....they offered me an upgrade to the 6 pro for just 13 bux a month. to trade in my unlocked pixel 4 xl........ i said: "PFFFFFFFTTTTT.........aint happening!!!" I wont do it because the pixel 4 xl radar feature knows when im reaching for it and it unlocks when I look at it. I dont have to feel for a find a fingerprint sensor and no downtime there. As an IT pro thats what I need, sure im sacrificing "5G" but to date, I hardly use/need it anyways, I can configure all equipment and operate on non 5g. Superior unlock so I can interface quickly and there is less barrier between me and my task. The camera is still bad-to-the-bone. And my phones performance still makes me happy ;) I mean thats not the ONLY reason, but its the first one that comes to mind. Ive dropped my pixel 20 feet onto concrete too in an otterbox (from top of ladder) and I must say, it has withstood the test of time, Dont know if thats a testament to PIXEL or OTTERBOX, or BOTH. But dude, ottorbox on this thing plus a screen protector, ive stepped on it, set my toolbag ontop of it, dropped it off roofs and its still running strong..... ACCEPT THIS ONE THING: The god AWFUL ANDROID 12 UPDATE, GOOD LORD WTF ANDROID? They have mutilated my UI experience with this update and it has caused performance issues, not to mention I dont like the button array in the settings menu.
