Excellent review of two phones I certainly can’t afford right now!

[@not_sure...]

Pixel just takes gorgeous photos in my eyes.

[@Campwise05]

Great video SKB, nice camera comparison between two 2019 titans!

[@brady9680]

Excellent photo comparison man, can tell you really put the effort into getting shots which would test both cameras

[@aswinottapilavil495]

I think the pumpkin didn’t had the light on when you took the pixel picture. There is not even a slightly of hint of red lighting in that image. Even the scull behind has the greenish light from the other lightening and didn’t had any reddish color. It seems like the scene changed when you took that picture.

[@andrioda7261]

Right

[@jayke2849]

Word

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

The pumpkin did have the light on. I took these photos within seconds of each other. The light inside the pumpkin was always on.

[@MrRiverwind]

I prefer Pixel 4 samples in most cases but iphone do it great too

[@BrandonPolanco21]

El video del iphone ufff

[@mariusailisoaie183]

Nice! Thank you for doing this. Your conclusion was on point.

[@srztf]

The one thing that i love about the pixel 4 is that in most situation whether your taking a selfie or snap an object or anything, most of the times the images will came out great with the images being well exposed with nice colours, great dynamic range and good amount of details. Its perfectly balanced. I love that. Yes the pixel 4 lacks ultrawide cameta but for me untill this day i still think when it comes to just point and shoot, the pixel 4 is still the best camera for that regards

[@vvvLEGENDvvv]

nice video. what case are you using for the iphone?

[@mattaye699]

Great review....Will there be a One PlusT vs Pixel 4 comparison? Also great photo of the Arch & Art Hill. Didn't realize the wallpaper possibilities this City has.

[@MarkSlavin]

1st picture, the cut out around the headphone cables in the iPhone photo is terrible. Is the Pixel's blur entirely computational or is it from the lense?

[@Retro.foxhound]

Nice comparison 👍 keep up the good work

[@laroka24]

Love the pixel picture

[@carl_oak]

You guys just seem to forget about pro mode. For example, that pumpkin picture would be completely different with pro mode.

[@RomanianAlphaDaddy]

I'm currently interested in buying one of these on the used market lol. Nice to find a good comparison that's not biased as hell.

[@TheBingsons]

DAMMM YOUR PICTURES AND VIDEOS ARE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Alphacrasher001]

Everytime i see iphone 11 pro vs pixel 4 am always like Strongest battery vs the weakest battery....why google?? Why??!

[@d.o.4415]

Hashim Emraan right!

[@user-gn8mb3tv4j]

but its not a bout battery its about camera.

[@Waterproof56]

Can you do this test with you using the dual exposure?

[@Altema22]

Nice video, so thanks! I'm kinda used to natural Bokeh, so to me, the Pixel over does the blur a bit. However, on the 0:55 shot, the iPhone messes up on the gap below the right ear. At 5:16, I liked the iPhone shot better. It is odd that the Pixel took 2 minutes in astro mode, and my thought is that if you have to use a tripod, you can get similar results with a time exposure on other phones with pro mode. I know I have. At 7:20, the Pixel shot had stars, but they were out of frame when you zoomed in. However I did prefer the iPhone shot because the Pixel overexposed the lights. For video, the iPhone was more stable in the beginning, but I did NOT like the exposure walking through the arch. You know who might have better video stabilization than either of these? Hold on, you better sit down. Ok... I'm talking about the updated HTC U12 Plus. Seriously. I was at a wedding this past Saturday and the photographer did not show. They asked me to take shots with a Canon, but it's battery died during the reception, so they had me use the U12. A producer I knew was at the wedding, and when he saw the footage, he asked if I was using a gimbal. Turns out the U12 Plus also has better detail in still photos than the iPhone 11 and Note 10+, so it was an interesting day. The Pixel having separate control over the highlights and shadows is pure dope, and I wish I had it on mine. I still like having a full pro mode though ;)

[@davidstid]

Nice & simple review. I prefer Pixel 4 XL because I need for great photos & selfie camera

[@betonscheitel8635]

Very good and detailed comparison

[@party2162]

Nice review 👍

[@Appleaddict22]

Great video!

[@Bibhor4]

Quite brave of you to go to East St Louis. Looks like it was pretty late at that time. I was also crazy enough to go there at later hours to take picture. LOL!

[@gaurav091]

Best camera review .. thank you 👌🏻

[@ayurpathysharma333]

So we have to buy both phone ..to click same pic ..zoom the pic..check detail ..and delete which you don't like

[@MrJerkson81]

Great reviews.

[@veyrongaming4799]

Nice bro good job i need this video.Thanks you

[@superscant1979]

If only there was a phone that combined the technologies of both of these phones cameras. THAT is the phone to buy.

[@Violet_Evergarden]

Imagine Google and Samsung and Apple working together

[@TH0RSD4Y]

Both are looking great

[@25eazi]

I have the 4xl and the astrophotography mode is better then what you displayed. I took a pic and could see more stars in the pic then I could see looking up myself.

[@MatafiedGaming]

Great video SKB!

[@200Carl]

Great review! But I think reviewers should stop comparing both with 4k 30FPS, just use straight the 60fps on the iPhone against the 30 fps on the Pixel. Don't lower the iPhone quality just to match the other phone. Do it like "this is the best you can get in the iPhone (60fps) and this is the best on the Pixel (only 30fps)"

[@ivicamagg]

Odlično svaka čast!!!

[@bigbullet9224]

Why is the Ferris wheel blue on the pixel and red and white on the iPhone 11 does the pixel exaggerate color that much form true to life

[@wilberaguilar1579]

Nice Video bro

[@realmccoy220]

and also the background blur on the iphone 11 near his ears and the wire of his earphones are off but not on the pixel

[@emiss406]

Great video! Grettings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@omarr7825]

This comparison is with iOS 13.2 ?

[@sebastianlejon1313]

God that bokeh blur on the iPhone is painfully bad if you look at the trees that are just next to the guy's face on the right side

[@erice4191]

The iPhone has been doing real time HDR in the preview since the iPhone XS. This is the first year that pixel implemented it.

[@deepkumarpatel9454]

Nice explained bro

[@matheusmelo8742]

Where is the place of 09:09??????

[@nmlx7710]

I don't like how overprocessed the Pixel images are. I can get that editing my pictures but I do not want them looking like that ALL the time.

[@dennistetrault9832]

Both are really great!

[@mwboost]

Pixel astrophotography mode kicks arse. When going out for that reason it brings out soo many stars it's crazy. Milkyway as well. The iPhone makes the stars bright but not detailed at all to me. Less stars as well. I've done a few tests. 👌🏼

[@sheliaulmer1869]

Boy..u have a fabulous voice

[@davidmartrano1549]

Both incorporate stove top cooking, yikes. Has Apple caught to the Pixals computational photography? Yes absolutely. I don't have either but the iPhones cameras offer much more. I do enjoy using the ultra wide camera. Both are very good cameras! Why Google didn't add the ultra wide is beyond me? Great review!

[@xToxiinzZ]

7:20 you sure the left is not iPhone and the right is not pixel 🤔 seems a little fishy to me

[@floarenicu6072]

no it s real because iphone is not having any problem with the over exposure in the lights....there was another one with the ticket sign

[@kogamiii]

I also think that’s the case. Look at the sky. The Pixel tends to be in the cooler side whereas the iPhone is warmer as seen on the previous photo captured using night mode.

[@viralinfo23]

It was mixed lol

[@Classicman.43]

You do gave Astro photography on the iPhone 11 Pro. They just don’t call it that. The phone HAS to be on a tripod where it detects no motion in order to allow you to set 30 seconds on the night mode timer

[@jake9205]

CLAssicMan250 thank you!

[@supaahflyy]

its nowhere near as good as a 4 minute exposure on the pixel

[@Classicman.43]

supaahflyy Agreed but that’s not the point. It was said that the iPhone doesn’t have the mode at all

[@Classicman.43]

Jake Facts! You’d think a reviewer would know everything before they start talking. That’s why I like Aaron Zolo (Zolotech). This video here was on my recommendation list.

[@supaahflyy]

@@Classicman.43 i get where you're coming from but i guess as there is not "technically" a seperate mode/option for it, they think the average consumer wouldnt use it. Ofcourse you can manually slide it to a 30 sec exposure and get a decent image but just by looking at samples on youtube, 30 seconds doesnt seem to be enough to get really nice pictures

[@wojhusy8778]

Not sure what you guys are smokin, the Pixel definitely has better photos.

[@mridulhossen6011]

7:36 you can't even see the bushes in the iphone

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

There is less noise in the sky on the iPhone picture which I like in this scenario vs seeing more detail in the bushes.

[@MrG497]

When I watch the many videos that compare the cameras on these two phones sometimes I like photos on the iPhone better and sometimes I like photos on the Pixel better. But what makes the iPhone a better camera phone is not only its superior video quality but its ultra-wide lens, its longer battery life, and its greater storage capabilities.

[@platoonhd]

Really good review

[@1JLegend]

Apple's videos have extended dynamic range by recording multiple videos at different exposure simultaneously.

[@erice4191]

So in reality, The iPhone shoots 4K 120 fps. If you factor in the extra HDR frames. Crazy The power of the A13

[@RichardServello]

iPhone photos always have a green cast that I find ugly. Pixel takes post processing really well too.

[@nikchris69]

Richard Servello pixel has that blue tint. Pixel pics suck, way overrated.

[@diegoestupinan8908]

someone tellme please how apple can record this video? is so perfect, the recording. Why, what OIS they use?? What is the secret??

[@alexisfierros540]

Can the pixel 4 get 4k 60fps with software updates?

[@MrRiverwind]

I'm sure they will do it in furure update. Google is the best in software, and 855 is more than anough for 4K 60fps.

[@mommy3505]

Alexis Fierros yes . They said they don’t add 4k60 because it uses a lot of storage. They also said they mainly focus on 1080p because they believe that’s what most people use. It’s true 1080p video on pixel is really good

[@bigbullet9224]

MrRiverwind no in a phone Apple has the best soft ware that’s why google is behind my man lol true story

[@diesela3]

6:30 the Pixel captured Elon's starlink satelites

[@brunoferraco9710]

Pixel sem dúvidas ✌️🇧🇷

[@sherit8448]

No body beat pixel

[@StormyP101]

Some thoughts: 1. The jack'o lantern shot from the Pixel 4 I think is an example of the auto white balancing. The result is not necessarily what you might want out of your shot, but also is helpful in many instances. 2. What's with the strange glowing patch in the sky underneath the arch in the iPhone night mode photo? Seems like Pixel is still better in night shots. 3. "I don't know what the iPhone is doing to get such great video"...the answer is HDR 4. The "faded" look or "graininess" in Pixel video, especially noticeable in the night sky, is probably because ISO is high. Overall, hope the Pixel line improves its video capabilities next time.

[@camillecastro3747]

Good review ❤ hoping to win the laptop giveaway

[@worldstogether3012]

I will go for Google pixel4

[@Mr1Redwing]

Great video as always. Is iPhone running iOS 13.2 with deep fusion? Think if it was the low light photos would be so much better.

[@25eazi]

Also why do most you reviewers try to act like Google stock app has no editing tools? It's not as extensive as Snapseed or Lightroom but it's more then enough. You can adjust exposure, contrast, warmth, skin tones, white balance, blacks, vignette, shoes, highlights, deep blue and now blur effects after taking a photo. Why you all fail to mention this? Oh yeah I officially got over 7 hours SOT on 4xl with 10% left on battery. Battery gets better as the phone learns your habits. Had to through that out there.

[@SunshineFL]

Very nice

[@vkoptchev]

Non of the two is perfect, but based on the photos shown here I'd choose the Pixel. Based on features like live HDR preview and contrast/brightness adjustability, would choose the Pixel. OS flexibility, again the Pixel.

[@brentbynoe7762]

Nightsight 2.0 hasn't been released as yet

[@craggy1969]

Is there a 2.0 due then?

[@roberthill6335]

[@eruptic6503]

And then you woke up.......

[@brianswails7276]

Robert Hill I own 11 pro and I don’t see any difference with deep fusion.

[@tracexxface]

The beginning where he takes off the case and Siri starts to speak - idk, just cracked me up a lot more than it should have.

[@nikchris69]

Both looking good, iPhone is a winner for me because pics look way more natural.

[@MzwandileHarmans]

iPhone. Great video and has ultra wide so great for travel and can swim 4m deep

[@josiahwanjiku9187]

You are not doing justice to astrophotography by taking those photos in areas with light pollution. You need to go in a place with no light like the desert or jungles & you'll see Pixel 4 leaves iPhone 11 pro in the dust!

[@25eazi]

Stabilization was better on pixel

[@pratikdeshpande3773]

Pixel is the winner

[@velementov8732]

Nice buddy

[@imrankhan-ob3es]

I kinda liked the pixel 4 pics a little better.

[@_4zad]

4:35 is a great example of how the new pixel 4 white balance messes up the pictures

[@aswinottapilavil495]

Muhammad Ahzed If you mean the pumpkin image, then I don’t think that’s the case. It clearly looks like the iPhone pic was taken when the light was on and pixel was taken when it’s off. You can clearly see that pixel did not capture any light coming from that source. If you look at the skull on the iPhone pics, you can see it’s side and back portion is lit by a red light coming from the pumpkin but on the pixel there is no light on its side or back only it’s front is lit by a green light (there are some time differences but no camera can make light disappear completely like that, clearly shows that there was no light coming from that direction). You can also see that the pixel image is a lot brighter (especially the background) that’s because there was no exposure coming from pumpkin at that particular time. It’s super obvious that the scenes were totally different. I don’t know why he used such an image but maybe it’s just a mistake and he got confused but no pixel doesn’t mess out white balance by that much (no camera does, there are slight shift it tones). This was clearly a pic of same subject but at a totally different lighting scenario.

[@lilcheaty]

pixel used color transform (introduced last year) and it's AI AWB to "fix" the image. there was a light shining on it, it just did such a good job of eliminating that bright red exposure that it fooled you too.

[@azimfakhri5206]

white balancing

[@ap19926]

No matter how shit the pixel every year becomes, i would just pick it for that camera processing.

[@phuongsovannara8058]

now mi note 10 has join the chat

[@aidendrakepw]

Pixel wins. I sold the Mi Note 10 after finding out the issues with the huge 108MP sensor. It is never corner to corner sharp, struggles a little to focus on close subjects and has way too shallow a field of focus which means even part of the subject gets blurred. Detail at longer range is better though. But that's about it.

[@pallavdesai16]

Also, pixel flips the image while taking the selfie. You can also adjust the bokeh in real time.

[@nipambarman3221]

No it don't now . Put that flip button off

[@devgabriel6898]

For me... Pixel won all the subjects. And by 2022 we will have pixel 6 pro... With that great angular cam included. That phone will be the absolute king of cameras

[@RennieAsh]

Once you start panning around in video, you will see the Pixel is a bit jankier. The Pixel is good for pointing at things and zooming in, the iPhone is smoother in transitional movement

[@AbdulRauf-fk6ne]

Pixel & Sony Great Phones❤️❤️❤️

[@sisir360]

I’ve always loved Mark’s accent. “Pictures” sounds like “Pitches”, “since” sounds like “sis”. Not a criticism, just a funny quirk!

[@Quoutub]

In the digital zoom comparison I don't see more details than with the iPhone, it's just sharper because it used less zoom, but there are not more details. Google's software zoom is mainly just a marketing stunt. I tried the Pixel 4 in a store and at 8x there aren't really more details than at 2x

[@sonukumar-exotic7]

🤣🤣seems like you are apple fan....but you know when it comes to taking picture no smartphones can ever be compare with pixel.....

[@25eazi]

iPhone has no stabilization at 60fos in 4k. It's better in 30fps. I brought both. Tested cameras and no the pixel takes better photos hands down. Rear recording is a toss up. I give front recording to the iPhone. Every other scenario the pixel was better. I got my daughter iPhone 11 pro max and I got the 4xl. We both agreed that the 4xl was better. Can't go wrong either way. You astrophotography shot was nothing compared to the pictures I took. The iPhone doesn't come close to producing this shot

[@jacobperez391]

Wait what! The iPhone, really! You must be in the apple eco....
