Wow "posted 3 minutes ago" and has no likes and I find you

[@gilangrizkiaulya8664]

[@surajranabhat3551]

I like b and d

JerryRigEverything so, you never lied when u said that , 'I'm a hardware guy' and not the software guy

[@MB-zu4gc]

B and I also own B

sameee ;D

[@ZEM502]

Me too ;)

[@Cod4Wii]

yes

[@thcyprus]

Yes, for me it was E clearly the best, B second, C slightly better than D and last was A.

[@alcurtis93]

C killed it. B looked too fake and overprocessed

[@vidushikansal8760]

True

[@jeffvi76]

I would prefer B because it looks more presentable on social media ;)

[@shyamparihar4071]

I am confused between A & C!

[@mashr]

summed up what i had to say

[@Lyander25]

@@shyamparihar4071 A was a lot softer overall with less gross detail and weirder colours. To my eyes (and preferences) the Pixel really was the best camera by a fair bit, though I'm certain the differences would be less stark outside of a side-by-side comparison like this one. Just bites that Pixel phones aren't officially available in my part of the world.

[@WiaraTV]

B and E

[@LiamLlamaEVEC]

Wiara E

[@SummerSn0w]

I picked the same! Haha.

[@manincastle]

Same B and E

*Definitely B and E* 😕

[@varungonsalves6249]

Dude I completely agree there. I was shocked when I found out that it was iPhone and Samsung

[@vinayvankina5739]

Agreed, E is my first pick and B is my second.

[@peteriddqd]

we have same style

[@MHWGamer]

the first few images B is really good (better than E), the last few E is better, so there's a tie The pixel xl 2 isn't that good

[@MarcCoteMusic]

Same here... no further preference between those two, but B and E kept coming up as my picks on my 34" monitor. I can't speak to those watching on phones or laptops, as many (or most) will do.

[@NicB-Creations]

E was the best overall for me. At first I thought B but later found it to look overprocessed.

[@raa_him]

I think we can all agree D was trash

[@haseebkamal98]

for sure yes and It has the highest DXO mark what a joke

[@zach.vfx.]

Except the shot with bokeh, with that one (in my opinion) it is significantly better than the others.

[@colby_247]

Yes hahaha

[@crystaloffrost]

I was thinking the same

[@jikgb]

Yeahh. Agreed!

[@MattSpaul]

I prefer C because it made the dog feel happy

[@EVO0946]

wholesome

[@Blvo1]

Bias shot. Psycology trick he used to make pixel win. Otherwise pixel n sammy are on tie. Or maybe sammy could hv win by lil margin

[@AllThingsFascinate]

Vasu Sharma liked the pixel a good bit more in most shots personally. It somehow seems a lot sharper.

[@Blvo1]

Alex Jobe yes but s9 has pro mode as well so i also a plus point though. For pixel n s9 its tie.

[@androbee2772]

I used a scoring system as I went where the most points it could get was 32 and the least was 0. 1. E, 24/32 points. 2. C, 21/32 points. 3. B, 13/32 points. 4. A, 12/32 points. 5. D, 10/32 points.

[@BoomTharis]

Mostly picked E, picked B twice, and once for each A and C. Never picked D. Great video! But I still think you should compare some shots with bright daylight scenes. Thank you Marques!

[@chiefrey3623]

C had the best portrait. B was all over the best one alongside E.

[@ti-ti.]

Chief Rey yup i kinda agree

[@Ghostdinosawur]

E was the most consistent camera, B has great lighting, C has insane portrait mode

[@Ema8687]

Ghostdinosawur You nailed it.

[@varunk.t8235]

Exactly

[@daveangeloobico7028]

I chosed

[@N12Gautam]

Ghostdinosawur u got it wrong, b has high color but horrible lighting. Even hawai or “d” was better than iphone

[@DaveB]

I didn't really notice B, but all the way through I liked E the most, and yeah, C smoked the portrait mode.

[@skkane]

Picked B almost every time, wasn't expecting it to be the iphone x, fcuk:/

[@ThiagoLc06]

B and E

[@tennisball2012]

Thiago Leanni holyshit me too.

[@jethrot.fruits5722]

Kelvin Calinisan being a lifelong iPhone user though I feel like I could immediately tell B was the iPhone and naturally I liked the way the colors and exposure looked so there’s my bias, but I was suprised by how well the others stood up in my head

[@donovantrieu5855]

I knew B was iPhone but S9+ surprised me

[@saravanansavb]

Exactly my thought...😎

C and E were leagues above the others. B would be equally as great, but it is just too saturated.

[@broodewd]

I agree, the deep red fire hydrant to start had me googley-eyed but then the train track shot was proof it was overdone.

[@armanmallick7229]

S9 plus in the portrait photo just...........wow

[@ToBeIsWasWere]

Is that a positive or a negative wow? I hope it's the latter, I think it looks horrible.

[@mirzarizwanbaig9449]

Pixel killed it

[@timothyjn100]

@Steven Soco E doesnt even look the best out of the portraits?? xD C bar far takes the cake and second would be B. Something tells me ur some what biased..

[@timothyjn100]

​@Steven Soco erh no I just value detail and if you actually rewatch the shots one by one, C has the most detail, can we not agree on that? Compare the faces on C and E and please do tell me which one is clearer. And as for my second choice Id rather scroll thru insta and see B than E however I will admit they are actually pretty close, more so I just prefer the less orangey look of E, seems the colours r bit too saturated or something, just doesn't seem as realistic and looks rather smooth as apposed to sharp. But maybe you prefer a different pallet? All this aside you say you imply you have an "eye for images" (which is the most subjective statement i've ever heard, what makes you think what one person prefers another will?) so I'm guessing you value detail the most? in that case can you atleast accept that C does provide by far the highest quality image with the greatest detail? Maybe watch on 4k and on a decent 1080p monitor (as i am) and it should be obvious.

[@MFarid92]

I can't believe I picked B most of the time.

[@protestantpope6173]

Muhd Farid same

[@daveangeloobico7028]

Me... D

[@Kolket1389]

I recognized the B .. the iphone camera because pictures look more instagram ready

[@ferd1572]

Me neither

[@cellular1109]

Don't let you anti-apple bias cloud your judgement!

[@amansoni8720]

I really thought that B was the s9+ because it over exposes everything. really surprised!!! D and E are my favourites except D was not good at replicating skintones

[@angelcamacho4346]

It was the same for me, D was best overall but E did a better job on Marques skin.

[@sankalpthakur8622]

Haha even i thought that B was s9 because of the over exposure. But my guess that c was the pixel was right. If you are mkbhd's follower then by now you know which images are from the pixel. :P

[@Conanap]

yeah same, overexposure and oversaturation made me think it was S9. I enjoyed C and D tbh, E was a bit too washed out

[@sankalpthakur8622]

I thought E was the one plus 6.

[@ScottJWaldron]

'E' seemed the most consistent and reliable. I would have gone with that.

[@motozest7856]

I chose B+D+E in the fire hydrant photos, B+E in the RED camera photos, B+D+E in the railroad tracks photos, C+D in the meter photos (DoF test), A+E in the skin tone test photos, C+E in the dog photos, B+E in the red android photos and C+E in the portrait-mode photos, so 1 vote for A, 3 votes for C and D, 4 votes for B and 7 votes for E. So that makes the Galaxy S9+ the best by quite a margin.

[@paraslakra9743]

Shit , I thought the 2nd one was pixel 2! It was great!!

[@lokeshvijay5609]

the most virals yeah i was also confused between b and c tht which is pixel 2

[@lydiapeng6969]

The fact that the dog stayed put while you were taking these pictures is more impressive.

[@mrnonews]

Can't believe I chose B and C. And I hate Apple. The color and sharpness are neck to neck with Pixel 2 XL. But wow, just wow.

[@emanuelbandrabur5338]

I picked B and C as well with two photos going to E. I was surprised as well. I have a Galaxy S9+, but man those iPhoneX and Pixel 2XL pics are dope

[@GrandNebSmada]

At first I liked the iPhone but i slowly realized that it was way too over saturated to be "natural." Id personally rather have the ability to add saturation later if i want it and get a nice clean and dynamic picture to start with

[@mrnonews]

Some of us are too lazy to edit pictures manually. I didn't want to like Apple for whatever reason lol. And still wouldn't buy their phones, just for the camera. But damn, it's like their doing your job for you and set the best possible settings in sharpness and saturation, a perfect Instagram setting.

[@edwardcieplehowicz9712]

I have it almost a dead tie between C and E, with E just edging out

[@ALKSNIPER32]

Same here i still think the samsung has the best camera out in the market

[@floramafija]

I agree Samsung killed it in most all pictures, athough I seen some newer comparisons and I think oneplus 6 improved their camera by a long shot via update

[@XxAlex530xX]

Milos Floric did they really? I checked out an iPhone 8 and I think the quality is better than oneplus. Not by a huge margin but personally I liked the iPhone 8 camera more than the oneplus 6. The newer one plus is suppose to be better though. Really good phone too

[@floramafija]

6t seems to be great. Oneplus made each phone way better and different than the previous one. From what I understand out of the leaks 6t will have smaller notch, looking like a teardrop, wireless charging, smaller bottom bezel and maybe better camera. Oneplus 6 is great but upgrade will really depend on what you want to do

[@annieee91]

E. I actually picked my actual phone s9 plus😂

[@aswathkumaravel6036]

Okay, the tables have turned in 2018. Surprisingly the iphone x produces the most oversaturated(crowd pleaser) photos and the s9+ produces the close to life color. It's like they've switched sides this time 😉

[@DmanDaks]

Yeah, dude! This whole time I was convinced that B was the Samsung.

[@h.v.kalyansampath9155]

C

[@urtules]

You can’t judge colour of iPhone because KZbin doesn’t support wide colour, for now to see true colour you have to see it on Mac or iOS. Only Apple devices support wide colour.

[@simon_patterson]

I agree! The iPhone was consistently overprocessed and the s9+ consistently showed natural images.

[@warzonetamilnoobs8063]

Nah

[@qradov]

Not a big fan of Samsung, but Galaxy S9 was clear winner for me.

[@kumarakshay9437]

[@kevinshen]

They have hundreds of people working on just the camera whereas Oneplus may only have a couple hundred engineers on the phone in total.

[@alexandergrewal3715]

C

[@mo3_l3st3r]

the oneplus 6 was really bad. I thought that was the iPhone X. my bad! the iPhone X, S9 and Huawei were really good.

[@marceldiezasch6192]

I always picked 2 cameras per picture because it often was too close to tell. Distribution between B, C and E was pretty even for me, with a slight advantage for E, while A and D weren't bad but still only got 1 nomination each. After watching the reveal, it does make sense: S9 slightly beats the competition, while Pixel and iPhone shine in different areas. OnePlus and Huawei are where you'd expect them, quite good but not 100% there yet. The most important thing I got from this: Every single camera shown would be good enough. The differences are minuscule and you should probably make your purchasing decision on different factors than photo quality.

[@elhuron8566]

I definitely agree. When you remove bias and do a blind test, you find that differences get massively exaggerated by the press and manufacturers themselves. It's really, really close these days.

[@ByteReview]

Pixel 2 portrait really destroyed the others, such a big difference, and with only one camera!

[@nikkonitro5742]

definitely.. a lot of detail and like you said, with just one camera..

[@Dezbo]

I choose both b and c as my favorite, after seeing the results I wasn’t surprised

[@RVENWRTH]

[@joyfillpm]

Markiso Wickstorm same

[@mindaugasg5218]

same here

[@joecagetube]

Agreed. Photos need to have more light, some of them looked dark to me. I have my DSLR for serious photography, but to point and shoot from the phone when I am out and about, clearly it's B and E. Having said that, had no clue that E was the Samsung, I had a bad experience with it when I had the S7 edge. I bought it based on MKBHDs recommendation and I hated it. As for the iPhone, overpriced, but it's awesome.

[@rsdokc]

Picked C and E most often. B was way over saturated. Apple taking a cue from Samsung. A was third. Was surprised I didn't pick D on any. Had heard it was a great camera. Great video. Thanks for the effort.

[@burd7455]

I thought B was Galaxy. lol

[@offlineclubmixes]

Being a pixel user and lover, I'm ashamed of picking up B(iphone X) in 70% of the cases

[@turbotaquitogoogle8095]

No reason to be ashamed. iPhones have great cameras undeniably, but that doesn't mean they're great phones (I hate iOS and everything else about them).

[@harrymaguire5328]

[@benkennedy6547]

Yep. B-4, E-2, C-1 here even though Apple is not for me.

[@adarshlalrskeralapuram6966]

The worst pics are from B (iphone x)

[@adarshlalrskeralapuram6966]

When the first set of images was shown i confirmed that it will be iPhone or Samsung due to the oversaturated image

[@vully5555]

I had different options over the survey 😂 But I’d say E was the most preferable one over it.

[@talhaiqbal]

I didn't choose OP6 or P20 even a single time.

[@dariohermosillo]

i chose op6 once, but i had it all over the place, pretty inconsistent camera. P20 plainly sucks imo, i rather stay with my LG G6 than one of those 2

[@magatsu82]

I picked it once in pic 3

[@victuringan1429]

China phones suck!

[@JjAllDay]

The same , I choose two pics from each comparison because it was too hard to call but iPhone 10, pixel 2, then Galaxy s9 in that order

[@hushedtones7168]

they could still be improved with a software upgrade, it mostly has to do with how the jpeg image is processed for contrast and white balance

[@yeetmaster4252]

I think the pixel was the best and the huawei was the badest

[@nanothefruit8063]

For me E and B were at a tie i really didn't think C would be a pixel.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

NANO TheFruit how in the hell did E look good?? 😅

[@nanothefruit8063]

c0pyimitati0n Frankly speaking I found E to be the best It produced a bright image. Difference between an object and background could be made out making the object in focus and not the other way round E actually won for me

[@adonisguerra6399]

NANO TheFruit same for me too! My votes were mainly for iphone and gal9. Galaxy s9 winning 5 to 3. I love the saturation of color the photos as well as the sharpness/clarity in them. For me, the pics weren't so saturated that it hurt the eyes; They were perfectly vibrant enough to to show off the beauty of the picture.

[@Am.nr01]

B & E ❤️

[@Grapevin]

C, E, A, B, D, best to worst B is so damn oversaturated, and D is actually really bad half the time

[@stilltoks6904]

Vin S got the same. Seems we're the only ones not feeling the X

[@tsuki5993]

I usually like over-saturated photos but it's way too dramatic on B. Low light photos were good tho.

[@jcarlocastro]

Oversaturation makes fools think that photos are pretty. Guess which ones will be liked the most on youtube?

[@JakeBlitch]

I thought A and D were consistently too soft.

[@avex1x]

Otieno Yeah, sometimes I like the colours of the iPhone, sometimes I don‘t. For me it was: C E B A D best to worst. In the end I have to say thats it not that big of a difference.

[@imicca]

if your winner was D,E or even A, man...you either cheated or need to watch again in 4K. Because B and C killed everything else

[@imicca]

@@max-gn6uc the reality bush. you should try sometimes, it removes bias

[@iKnowReview]

Real low-light might have been even more interessting 🤔 otherwise impresse Performance from OnePlus and weak from Huawei 😲

[@613-f1v]

You need to use the night mode on the Huawei P20 pro to get great low light results. It take about 4 secs to take a photo but the results are excellent. Standard point and shoot mode in low light however is pretty average.

[@1HeatWalk]

Taking pictures in low light is the ultimate test. I think Pixel would destroy everything else in the dark because of its smart processing software.

Totally agree. Every single picture it seemed to not as sharp. All the other cameras are close to each other but D stands out as bad, imo.

[@mplovecraft]

I'd say D and A

[@ObitoUchiha-id1nq]

can we do something simlilar for s10 plus ?

[@jovanqqq]

Was anyone convinced that B was S9 ? I was

[@linusbird6035]

Yes, thought Samsung would overexaggerate the colors.

[@xithalius]

Hahahha me too

[@faisalleeds]

C and E stood out for me in nearly every round! Could tell the pixel was the best

[@greg4055g]

faisalleeds same C and E were the best in my opinion, also I didn't like the OnePlus photos they were not as good as the others

[@MauriceTarantulas]

I thought E clinched it.

[@jp3dro]

I picked B most of the times thinking "Yeah ok it's going to be the Pixel"... and turns out the be the iPhone X. I'm really surprised.

TEST RESULT PICKED: B ( 3 times ), C ( 3 times ) and E ( 2 times ) I noticed that... B has more post processing in the images specially in the colors (are really great balanced). C looks more sharp and detailed. E looks sharp and detailed too but not as much as the C 1) B 2) C 3) E 4) B 5) C 6) E 7) B 8) C

[@rfldss89]

C. I thought it would be the iPhone since it looked like the most colour accurate (to my untrained eyes) while still being lively, also it handled both high contrast and low light pretty well. No overexposure it seems. Kind of surprised that I actually hated the iPhone because it was oversaturated at times. I was fully expecting B to be the Samsung since it would be in line with their screen oversaturation bs.

[@Zetryte]

I had the exact assumption! Especially after that last shot, the Pixel is so ahead of all the other phones in terms of artificial Bokeh.

[@shoumikislam9242]

Same here, C should be iphone X that was my thought

[@redanoaimy8096]

sameee

[@SuperBram77]

Totally thought the same thing

[@patrice8737]

Rafael Dos Santos totally the same for me!

[@lymvox]

I had a notebook while doing this, this was my result by points: A: 0 B: 1 C: 5 D: 1 E: 0 I was impressed, since i was debating between C and E while doing this, C got the best picture quality for me and gave most of the points to C. little did i know E was the phone i have right now hahaha

[@gmonte00]

C is my best! (hoping it's the pixel 2 xD) B and E are at my 2nd and 3rd position

[@mohammedahmed8274]

those are literally exactly my rankings

[@meda1410]

I prefered C and I thought it had to be the iPhone X and in the end it was actually the Pixel 2 XL ... I really underestimated its capacities. Probably because I'm an Apple person.

[@THEE.apples]

B and E Edit: 😲😲 I can't believe I picked the IPhone X. I just love the saturation, vibrancy, and sharpness of the images.

[@Charsept]

Wow. Really takes all kinds of people, doesn't it. I liked everything but B and E.

[@THEE.apples]

Charsept It was a huge surprise for me. I usually love the Pixel. I still won't buy the IPhone X tho.

[@dazom]

Funny this test really, I thought that D was absolute crap and it turned out to be the Huawei lol

[@brianhauz2445]

iamjeffness Exactly!

[@nicknack125]

Same, specifically marked down not ever wanting to own D.

[@evanbudrow9484]

C and E Pixel 2 XL!!!

[@sruarjchannel8254]

Evan Budrow C is dull in all photos

[@youcancanyou]

Im a Pixel fanboy and user here, but I admit that for me, E (S9+) got 5 votes and C (Pixel 2) got 3 votes. All other got 0 votes. S9+ photos are really sharp.

[@spproplus]

Same here, except I have the S8+, and I hate the phone. To many issues (can't find a screen protector for this phone, responsiveness of the screen not always great, and those device freeze ups every few weeks or so that you can't even power down the phone or do anything to unfreeze it for up to at least 45 seconds) makes me not to sure I'll want to get the S9+. I just got the S8+ few months ago, and starting to think that I should of gotten the Pixel 2 XL, regardless of the screen problems and all...

[@ChengHooSew]

Pixel got 5 out of give for me. Maybe it's because I know how pixel process the photos therefore I could tell which one it is right from the start so I'm a bit bias

[@youcancanyou]

@Cheng Hoo Sew I get it, but I chose to vote for the photo which I found visually appealing to me, than to identify pixel photos. But I get your point.

[@zackgoodman5856]

B and E

[@MrEueu89]

For my own record before phones are revealed 1. A and E 3. C 4. B very close behind C 5. D is out of its league

[@goobweynmedia4933]

I swear I had them in exactly the same order. What are the odds.

[@maroofjuneja498]

I liked C & E......A, B & D were way too dark or too oversharpened

[@dvl973]

Maroof Juneja I grouped them into two E C A - respectively and B D. ECA was the good group and BD was the bad group. E was the best for me for most situations then C then A. then B was pretty good but it looks on every photo like there's a contrast filter. And then D I knew was p20 pro just cause it looked like crap in some of the photos

[@swarnadipbhowmik6436]

E is the most stupid photo

[@exiledfrommyself]

I liked C and E. I thought D was the worst.

[@Truid]

Exactly what I got. B on a couple of them too.

[@adulapuramakhil871]

Maroof Juneja may be C and E are pixel and s9

[@RohitPant04]

Here's my observation of this as a photographer & editor : One Plus - Less dynamic range, the colours are balanced, saturation was good, details lacked, depth was okay but the boundaries in port. mode weren't done well. Iphone - More contrasted, warmified pictures with their exposure down and blacks down. Great portrait mode, quite intelligent in marking out the subject. Pixel - Great dynamic range, see how it didn't over expose the cloud details ( that is the feature of a good cam, no need for polarizer ) & damn the portrait mode on that is killer! Huawei - Over exposed the pics a little too much, the colours looked drained, preserved detail but not in the portrait mode, has a greenish tint to it's pictures. S9 Plus - A little over exposed pictures, colours well saturated, great lowlight performance, good dynamic range, refines the skin & erases blemishes in port. mode, good dof too! Google Pixel undoubtedly outmatches all these, some by margin & others by miles!

[@neelimabh5935]

Can you please explain me which one is which alphabet

[@ashistripathy546]

iPhone X. I didn't expect B to be that! I'm really shocked.

[@dvl973]

ashis tripathy what you like the contrast filter across the board.

[@strattonni2149]

I was positive that B was going to be the S9+ because of the saturation compared to the others. I though the iPhone was going to be either A or E.

[@ashistripathy546]

dligac I like some popped up colours.

[@Askejm]

D was really good and sometimes E was slightly better than D. Also C absolutely demolished the others in the portrait mode so I think it's the iPhone
