[@blaisejustinejapsay8648]

How about you make a video like this but blind video camera shoot-out.

[@DameAD]

I would give all the win to those photos with human face to Pixel. The skin tone is on point and looks real compared to iphone (which mostly become orange anyway)

[@LiamMarcon]

100% agreed, it was annoying me when they kept picking the blurrier, less realistic skin colour & lighting photo every time for the people. Just add a filter if you want to "beautify" yourself.

[@halicusdiaarcan102]

Yeah I heard that Google has been investing in accurate skin tone representation, especially for those with darker skin

[@yashnarayan753]

Just wanted to add that the blur on the Pixel 6/Pro portrait mode can be adjusted after you take the picture so its not as much of an issue personally

[@realgreyson]

I understand what you are saying, but being Pixel fan and even using one right now, it's hard not to accept the fact the iPhones blur better. The Lidar option they have is blowing out the Pixels in almost all of the pictures. Other than the obvious new Pixel skin tone focus, the iPhone wins in the camera unfortunately.

[@hdwblade]

....they used the cameras wrong, unfortunately. If they used the tele lens, the amount of zoom should be different. In the tele pic of the woods, it's obvious that both were zoomed in 3x, so the Pixel was digitally cropped in. But even then, it wasn't focused correctly. The second tele shot (in the street) is more like what you should expect at 3x for the Pixel. Not surprising considering you had your wives do it, just disappointed that it was messed up like that. Should have done one at 3x and one at 4x, if that's the case. ......just realized you guys have less than 3k subs. Well done on the production, but former photographer, he said? Y'all are gonna have a great YT career! Also, imagine if the Pixel got some software updates that fixed the 3 horrible pics, and if they used the 4x zoom.... 😎😎😎 Also. Next time. Have them crop the ultrawides and front cameras to the same focal length and the same with the tele lenses (or do both like I said before). Just to help stop that internal bias. Lol

[@pointpop]

nah pixel just trash

[@amermeleitor]

11:36 The faces in iPhone pictures look like wax. I hate that. I prefer the Pixel picture by far, you can adjust the exposure easily if you need it

[@MichaelSeneschal]

The conversation at 13:00 was the best part of the video for me. I really learned a lot when he was saying he immediately didn’t like the skin tone represented on the left photo. A wonderful conversation about color accuracy and peoples reaction and emotion toward accurate color. Thumbs up, great video.

[@runthejoules]

Thanks Michael! I tried to contain my excitement in the video, but honestly it's been refreshing seeing accurate skin tones on this phone including the selfie camera. -Degju

[@gzhang207]

I agree that the accuracy of reproduction is very important. There has been a time the “beautification” feature of many phone cameras is way overly done.

[@KingdomWithin7]

Yes I agree one hundred percent my friend the Pixel 6 Pro's ability to capture such accurate color representation is amazing I'm so sick of the beautify modes this world is already full of fake people we don't need anymore🤷🏽

[@pixelking_871]

That first pic is a lie , you guys had night mode turn off and and turned on the iPhone 13

[@mmafanatic-tz5or]

Exactly. Their ladies don't know how to take pics.

“Blind” but the guy in the right knows exactly got one takes pics and he chooses those lol

[@dereck4187]

Part of this is blind them so dig into key aspects of the phone even to which have crop look. But I swear one went and took the photos

[@mmafanatic-tz5or]

The conversation for the picture in 4:02 leads me to believe this wasn't a true blind test. Dude whips out his phone to check out the characteristics of pixels portrait camera, you were already mentioning which one was the pixel and until the guy on the left said, hey no let's choose which one we like first, the guy on the right wanted to instantly reveal which pic was which. Dislike. Also their ladies suck at taking pics.

[@jakeandrews6296]

I mean both of you just picked what you "thought" was your phone's image most of the time. Especially the guy for iPhone. Even admitted as much. Something along the lines of "I went for that one because I thought it was the iPhone image based on the white balance" rather than saying you like it more or less. Bit pointless if you're just trying to determine and pick YOUR phone instead of the best photo...

[@brachiator1]

I really enjoyed this blind test. Both cameras did well. I am glad that you included a skin tone test. I figure that more photos are taken of people than landscapes, and getting skin tone right might matter to a lot of people.

[@sparkoceanic]

It's huge for me because i do a fair bit of portrait painting. It's not really the overly warm and inaccurate skin tone that was getting me with the portrait photos on the iphone though, it was the softening of features. I liked nearly every other photo shot on the iphone a fair bit more than the pixel in this list too, which is something i wasn't expecting.

[@luispalm17]

I think this being the first iteration of Tensor + new camera sensors for Pixel 6 pro can tell us it can just improve with time. Most of the bad photos can be fixed with software updates. Great Review.

[@PurpleRupees]

What this tells me is that you are getting a good camera regardless. You can choose a different metric if you are deciding between the two, or if you are invested into a certain platform, you aren’t losing out to the competitor.

[@jvm-tv]

The most entertaining camera comparison video. Well done

[@chicknorris6012]

On the telephoto shots you had both zoomed to the same extent. The iPhone is 3x, the Pixel is 4x. If you shot under 3x, both are using digital zoom. From 3x up until 4x, I would take the iPhone will have a built-in advantage because it is using its telephoto lens and the pixel is stuck with a digital zoom. From 4x, the Pixel gains advantage as it is getting closer before it has to digitally enhance. As this is still a relatively new implementation for google, it's likely that their performance will be much improved within a couple of months. It would be interesting, if they do roll out software updates addressing the camera, to see an update to this at that point.

[@bmomosaik]

why dont you just use the 4x and take a step back? problem solved... wow that was hard its like someone has never used a prime lens before

[@bmomosaik]

@curio have you ever used a camera? how close do you think you need to be to take a portrait ?you portraits are not FULL body shots...

[@bmomosaik]

@curio everything you have said is brain dead please do your research before you talk about anything you don't understand. there is NO reason that a smartphone should have a 50mp camera the file size just eats your hard drive space...

[@sosiehtesaus2652]

The Pixel 6 simply takes better pictures overall. The white balance is really bluish on the iPhone. The iPhone categories are always side war locations.

[@justgiz]

So basically, camera phones nowadays are fantastic and the differences are so small they don't really matter.

[@keyner111]

Yep

[@benjmiester]

Oh for sure. That's how it always goes for the Pixel. It's big skill is in data collection and picking what people actually want vs what they claim they want. I know that last bit sounds like throwing shade, but it's definitely a thing. Take MKBHD's blind tests for example. The iPhone never even makes it out of the 1st round, let alone never wins.

[@Jjengering]

The iPhone is completely ruining the skin tones imo, I have no idea how it won any of those selfies

[@ouzahorpamu7271]

That's the same thing. I was wondering at the 12 minute mark they said the white balance on the iPhone as far as a selfie was better and it looked better overall and I'm thinking to myself it doesn't even look true to life. Are they just judging the photos off of what they personally like? Or are they judging photos based off of what looks true to life? Because if you wanted to on the pixel, you can adjust the exposure to make the photo look brighter on the selfie, but it would not look true to life. iPhones generally have a slightly warmer color to their photos when it comes to selfies

[@Jjengering]

@@ouzahorpamu7271 i agree, in the past typically iPhones were good at selfies, but the colour science and skin tones are just a huge contrast this year and I can't even justify the iPhone winning any of those!

@@benjmiester true

[@runthejoules]

As someone who has spent most of their working life as a professional photographer, I can confidently say that while you can technically soften an over-sharpened image, you can never get it back to its original state with its original, base amount of detail. You lose data by over-sharpening and you can’t get that data back if the sharpening was baked into the final output. Would be nice though! - Ryan

[@bryanvickers]

From everything I've seen, the Pixel camera swings big. When it hits, it SLAYS. But when it misses, it misses big. Does seem to hit more than it misses, though.

[@mrcraggle]

It definitely seems like Google can do more to improve the camera. There were definitely some mistakes in this comparison (I'm sure their wives are likely more used to using an iPhone) but Google 100% messed up with the portrait mode. The 2x is just digital crop and the sharpening is far too aggressive. They really need to have the 4x optical as an option and more Pro features. I'm also surprised that despite the sensor being so much bigger than previous Pixels, capture times are roughly the same when they should be much quicker which I think is leading to a lot of camera shake.

As a noob of photography, i've got a question about sharpening. He mentioned you cant unsharpen an alrdy sharpened image, would using raw photos give you less sharpening? Im interested in trying Pixel 6 but the sharpening is a bit much. Dont mind editing tho bc then im learning something as well. Also when you shoot raw photos, can u still use features like portrait mode?

[@noone5539]

Raw photos=easily flexible in editting later but this means it takes more storage

[@noone5539]

Yes you can,probably but most likely

[@johndan42]

Yes you still can use Portrait mode The RAW Format just stores all of the data separately allowing you to be much more flexible in post edits.

[@motioninmind6015]

For me, the single most important thing is details in highlight and shadows, and both of these phones give phenomenal results in that area.

Kind of annoyed me that they kept picking the iPhone for photos of people when it clearly has more blur, jacked up white balance, and less realistic skin colours. I get you want to "look good" but the photo should be about capturing the scene, otherwise just put Vaseline on your lens.

[@harrypike5140]

Depends what people want their phone camera for tbh. Alot of iPhone users' primary purpose for the camera is selfies, videos of themselves, and looking as attractive as possible. Take your average 21 year old girl who is an iPhone user, as an example. Maybe she never takes night-shots, has no interest in the zoom capabilities of Pixel, and has no desire to take landscape shots. She just wants to take pretty selfies where she looks better than IRL. Sure, the IPhone smoothens out some of her facial flaws, but that's exactly what she wants for her Insta upload. There are a significant portion of iPhone customers who fill that sort of bracket.

[@neilr7935]

The Pixel is doing more than simply capturing the scene. It is applying massive amounts of sharpening to each image, which is the absolute last thing you want for a flattering portrait. It also boosts shadows unnaturally (except on faces where you'd actually want to lighten shadows). I've ordered the Pixel 6 for the price and OS, but I have to admit the iPhone's photos out of the box tend to look better (shooting RAW and doing post-processing is a different story of course).

[@oneminutewonder77]

These days it is so much down to preference, people seem to expect their phone camera to be world class when it's still just a phone.

[@4eversabi]

True that !!!

[@yazminroblerorasgado3704]

8:50 in this photo the pixel did not make the jump to the telephoto lens and the person who captured the photo did not realize that it was left in digital zoom that is why the photo came out with that result, I have tried both phones and in telephoto the pixel is superior to the iphone 9:20 and here again the person who captured the photo makes the same mistake again, he put both mobiles at 3x which for the iphone is already optical and for the pixel the digital one since the optical sensor of the pixel starts at 4x I think that before making comparisons they should know how to use the mobile camera or change the person who does the work because they clearly do not know the specifications

[@Ragnar-ld6kl]

And the Pixel is still winner 😂

[@achhabra2]

I have an iPhone but am getting a pixel for work. Am really curious to test out the skin tones myself side by side. The iPhone typically makes both me and my SO look orange and honestly is not that accurate at exposing properly either. Not saying the iPhone has a bad camera but brown people have gotten the short end of the stick now for decades, high time a company takes it seriously. Great video overall though

[@free_gold4467]

Good for Google that they tried to address this issue.

[@runthejoules]

Google has done a great job with this. I've had great results on selfies as well for skin tone accuracy. I was very excited by the results during the blind tests in this video and my usage since has been amazing. -Degju

[@TheMrNeffels]

At 9:20 it looks like instead of using the 4x telephoto you used main sensor cropped in. Sometimes if finger is wrong spot it doesn't switch to 4x because it thinks something is in front too close

I feel that the blur photos edge detections on the Pixel 6 is really buggy, they had much better ones in their previous phones. A lot of their issues seems fixable in software updates and could potentially make the camera much better than it is now.

[@albertohidalgo7284]

I totally agree with that! The photo that was showed at 8:19 got me like "iugh that's some bad blur" but it's ok, I think google can do as well as samsung did with the S21 Ultra camera, when it launched it was horrible but it went throught a lot of updates and now it's a really good one!

[@Mandeepsinghmakker]

Even as a photographer I would tell people bit to choose your phone based on its camera. They'll all be fine.

[@N0STIC0]

It's easy to get which one is the iphone once you get they prioritize getting a nice-looking photo more than getting the most information on the photo (contrast, details, etc), at least most of the time. Another clue is the temperature of the photo, iphone photos are warmer most of the time.

Google is on a new path with the Pixel 6. This is their first phone with their own processor and the new camera hardware. They are taking a page out of Apple's book. With how close the comparison was, it's incredible to think what the Pixel camera couldl be in a couple years when they've had a chance to optimize everything like Apple has. This summer my iPhone X died on me and I grabbed a Pixel 4a. It's my first Android phone and I have not been disappointed with the picture quality. I want a Pixel 6 Pro now.

Yeah 200 dollar difference

[@25eazi]

Haven't seen this from the pixel in no video in no portrait shot. Plus to use optical on pixel it has to be shot in 4x and 4x doesn't offer portrait mode if I'm not mistaken. Interesting results, really different. iPhone steady smoothing skin. That's not natural. Face smoothing is off on pixel

You pay less because Google wants your data as that’s where they make 99% of their money. I’m not paying $600 to have Google track me and sell me ads on every website I go to. With Apple being more focused on privacy now I turned of Google search because Google literally track me on every damn website I went to even when not using Google search, it’s ridiculous on how many trackers Google has. Also that $600 phone only gets you three years of updates which means it’s trade in value will be terrible. Sure iPhones cost more but after several years they still have a high trade in value which no other smartphone can match.

Why is it so hard for people to understand, that it's all objective and they should go with what they feel is better.

[@karthik3685]

This is slightly dumb. The ultrawide (0.5x vs 0.7x) and 4x vs 3x are fairly obvious. If doing blind tests on those, you need to 'control' for that in some way. (either a crop, or change the field of view of one of them by moving closer or farther.) Also, on a lot of images, the oversaturated look of the iPhone is not realistic. We have just looked at oversaturated images so long, we have deluded ouselves into thinking that's how things look. The shadows/highlights detail in Pixel 6 is also outstanding. If you don't like defaults, maybe they should give us a setting of locking those values down, instead of just using sliders on every photo. On portraits, the iphone's lidar definitely comes in handy, and is hard to beat. Overall, it's very close, and hard to call one way or the other.

[@runthejoules]

Thanks for the feedback! Fully agreed about controlling the comparisons a little more for the next version.

[@Mcali1984]

As an iPhone user now after leaving the Pixel 4XL. I found this odd. As I’ve never had blurred issue with the XL I had. But, I accept this review as it is. Just felt a bit odd. Especially after havin an iPhone for over a year and taking tons of videos and photos.

No desire to EVER buy a Pixel 6. And yet I couldn’t look away! Haha. Love it. Such a fun vid.

I have no desire to EVER buy an iPhone. Pixel wins. 💪

@@griffin2765 Both great phones. No question. Just love that I was fully entertained despite not even being in the market for the phone. Great vid!

It seems like Google wants the pixel to take photos that would look like those taken on actual camera. Less highlights, higher dynamic range, sharp, lower contrast.

I wonder what difference it made that they were viewing the images on an Apple screen 🤔

You should've done the reveal at the very end, not every after category. What you did may allow you to perceive a pattern how the phone processes images and in turn may present bias.

100% agreed. That’s what we’ll be doing next time! Thanks

I feel like the big big advantage in the pixel 6 pro is that literally this phone just came out so to be this close to an iphone and in some cases better. The pixel will have pictures and camera updates like ik this portrait difficulty that the pixel is having is gone to be fixed and then will see who has better portrait. For example i have the pixel 5 5G yes not the best but my point is like in the last 2 or 3 months i had like 3 camera updates which just mean every update is going to get better.

From my personal experience it won't make a huge difference.

I thought this was really well done. Nice work. As a new Pixel 6 Pro owner, I actually prefer most of the pics coming from the iPhone. It's nothing that can't be tweaked, but I find the iPhone processing to be much more flattering for portraits. The skin tones are warmer (which some interpret as yellow), the skin blemishes are smoother, and ultimately nice portraits should be less sharp than say cityscape or macro shots. Pixel wins in zoom, and that can result in some cool shots. Video goes to iPhone, as pretty much every reviewer has determined. I also am not a huge fan of the over processed HDR look. Some areas of a photo are allowed to be dark, and Pixel tries to change that in an unnatural way. With all that said, I've gotten some stunner shots from my P6P and Android is so much better for my daily use...

Interestingly after watching a few shoot out review videos, I can already tell which photo is from which phone. It seems that iphone generally will have higher color saturation, sky tends to be more blue, and higher contrast with some lost of details in the shadow. iphone is also a bit better for hand held night photo, while pixel has more natural coloring, better skin color accuracy, and better at night if you can minimalize your hand shake due to longer exposure. For me, both phones take good enough photo, eventually picking the pixel cos I had a harder time get used to the iOS system.

Yeah bro I wanted to point out the same thing . I knew which phone clicked which as soon as they were presented except for one. Pixel camera language is so obvious while iPhone is also more obvious. If I was the iPhone fanboy here I would know which pictures were clicked by iPhone and vote for it first. After seeing a couple comparisons the pixel camera seems pretty clear as it's producing natural true to life , while iphone is slightly adding color to make the pictures pop. I didn't expect the pixel to fuck it up in that portrait though that was very poor ,with pixels at sides and poor edge detection. I liked the iPhone better overall and If you liked the pixel good for you , we have our opinions. It's actually quite easy to guess the phone in this comparision tho
