Great job. Can you compare the native image quality of the P6 Pro's 4x camera at 4x vs the P7 Pro's 5x at 5x? I've heard the results may be surprising.

[@CBtheMechanic_]

Glad I chose to stick with my Pixel 6 Pro

​@@obi3870Personally, I love the curved display and have never had a problem with it.

[@Roboto82]

Let's be honest, this isn't so much a review/comparison of cameras, but of software processing. The Pixel 7 is new and will most likely get several updates over time that will take its photographic capability beyond the currently more mature Pixel 6 in all areas.

[@davidletterboyz]

The most ideal is to use a 2x optical zoom lens for portraits. But since most Pixel doesn't have it, they got to opt for digital zoom. You may argue it's not using the whole main sensor. You are not wrong, but wide lens tends to distort at a shorter focal length and the subject's nose would become bigger.

[@pmlarry8371]

Quite similar. The biggest weakness of P6P is that it takes ages to take a night mode shot.

[@RaymondUpenieks]

Although the night mode on Pixel 6 pro is long the normal camera mode the camera takes great photos in comparison to Pixel 4XL. I'm completely happy with the Pixel 6 Pro but wish it had macro focus since it uses the wide angle and not a dedicated lens. I'm considering it for that reason alone since the upgrade price isn't that much but it's still money

[@martinkeys3717]

I have a question if anyone could answer. I won't be buying the pro phones as I'm not an expert photographer but I do like taking photos on my travels. Is the camera any better on the 7 than 6 (non-pro)? I want it buy a new phone for taking photos, the pixel 6 is cheaper by £100 than the 7.... Is there much difference just for pulling out my phone and taking a normal photo of what's in front of me?

[@BackDaws]

The way the pixel 7 pro works with the cropping and layering the different lens pictures, is that just software ? So basically the 6 pro should be able to take on this new way of zooming?

[@LSerge-de5xj]

merci pour ta vidéo, comment fais tu pour avoir des photos en 50 Mpx, actuellement je ne dépasse pas les 12 Mpx même en utilisant la haute définition... merci

With camera updates on phones am always left wondering whether it’s an upgrade or it’s just spicing a little bit to up the market

[@RaymondUpenieks]

​@Uffff I love macro photography and although it's not going to compare to DSLR with a true macro lens it's there. Looking at the camera shots there isn't much difference to justify the upgrade. Yet I'm debating it only for the one feature that some people don't need but depending on use some of the updates are legitimate for specific users

[@LowetheTechGuy]

It is an upgrade for those screaming the loudest for it, but it's a downgrade for those who are content with the endless amount of features we have. Something is always compromised by focusing on 1 priority.

[@cikplays9112]

I need help !! the camera zoom points for 0,6x, 1x,2x and 5x are gone I have a line on which I can't zoom

[@maxpackard1952]

Dude! The background blur in the night mode portrait was not better on the 6 Pro. More blur does not equal better blur - in fact, if you look at the 6 Pro image where you zoomed for a second, you'll quickly notice that the edge detection has completely screwed up, making the background blur useless whether you like the stronger DOF effect more or not.

[@Spongehops]

Its clear that phones nowadays has reached their peak capability, upgrading doesn’t seem to have an effect on our daily phone usage at all.

[@nkhoxigamechanger8471]

I agree

[@jaysaur7053]

The background separation for portraits is nice if you just point, shoot, and post (which I understand is what most people want). I actually prefer the pixel's portrait mode though because it includes more of the original background details in the final image. Means I have more options and creative room when post-processing images myself.

[@Lansky1213]

Why expect major updates from year up to the next? I don't. Maybe 2 years.

[@uglyboi2735]

Got my gf this phone recently and I'm not happy with the camera really. Video recording gets blurry when things are moving and selfie cam is bad especially when video calling. I hope an update can help it.

[@harshphull8234]

why you don't capture potrait shot on pixel 6 telephoto 4x lens that will give insane quality

[@wrx95pro]

24/32 - on Pixel 6 Pro it's not 5X shot from optical 4X module, it's crop from 1X module. You failed to correctly choose module.

[@slyfox8900]

The selfie test is a toss up because of the different sensor resolutions and the wider field of view on the 7 pro's front camera. They both have fixed focus so the issue here is likely you needed to keep your hand a bit further away on one of the devices to get the focus plane in the right spot. They dont have autofocus on either front facing cameras

[@MrRiverwind]

Hi. This specific issue is so important for me. I ordered a 7 Pro and don't want a selfie where I am out of focus. I like sharp selfie and sharp pictues in general. Are you sure about what you're saying?. I'm going to try by myself as soon as I get the device, but I would be calmer until then if you say that it is only a matter of the distance at which the selfies should be taken. Please any info about it will be much apreciated....🙏 EDIT: ...btw...why do you think they don't put autofocus in selfie camera?...I like photography so much but don't understand much technical stuff.

[@slyfox8900]

@@MrRiverwind I'm certain of the fact they are fixed focus. You can check out the camera specs on several websites. Im pretty sure adding autofocus to the front camera is a cost problem cuz it might increase the cost of that unit.

With pixel phones, better take portrait photos at (portrait) zoom 1x and not higher. Note that (portrait) zoom 1x corresponds to regular zoom 1.5x.

[@bon_caulks]

couldn't sum it up better myself 👍

[@powerfultoa7]

The 7 Pro has more details in the shadows but that has the disadvantage of making the image a little flatter compared to the 6. Personally I think that's a better scenario as you'll have less noise in the shadows compared to the 6 if you were to bring it up in post. I'm liking the better colors on the 7 Pro so far, which is definitely an improvement.

Let's now call these devices mobile cameras and not mobile phones as so much attention is given to how well the camera works!

[@MrRiverwind]

they are overall great devices. There are so many other improvements in the Pixel 7 Pro over the Pixel 6 Pro beyond the camera capabilities. They have better sound, better screen, better battery life, better conversation quality during the calls and so on...but I think most people who buy these devices do so with their cameras in mind.

[@davido3403]

What can you really make better! Screen quality and speed are pretty good even on cheaper phones so the only thing to really improve on is the camera. I never really cared about 120hz fluid movement memory ect. I buy it because of the camera and phone calls of course. It's better than having to carry one everywhere and since we always have our phones what's the point. Hopefully the 7 helps me get a better signal and from what I have read in comments on other forums it does.

[@rn9999channel]

Please do 1x portrait shots, it is good result, don't use 2x crop. Ok?

Google should kill the 2X portrait if it is not meant to be used. It is an option and deserves analysis. Maybe Google will improve it if we say it as it is, rather than just telling people they are doing it wrong?

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

Evening Dan 😊 Cinematic mode looks real bad and selfi, my 6 Pro camera was very good, and if I were still a Pixel fan, I wouldn’t be upgrading for this camera on 7 Pro, minor differences. How often do people use the 30x zoom anyway… Need to remember the 6 Pro has had a few updates, so when the 7 Pro receives updates it should be better, hopefully! I got to say though, my Pixel 4XL had the best camera quality, better than my 6 Pro! Cheers Dan ❤xx 😊

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

@Lewis mocker with which part?

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

@Lewis mocker can only speak as I find, my 6 Pro was a very good camera, the phone had many software updates and after the May update it was awful buggy for me, not as reliable as my 4XL I had before. That is what put me off upgrading to the 7 Pro this year, however, I’m sure it will be better now it has face unlock etc. I’ve upgraded to iPhone 14 Pro Max this year as a result of my 6 Pro experience, some had loads of issues some none at all, weird! 🤷‍♀️

[@RaymondUpenieks]

I traded a Pixel 4XL and the P4 is still a very good phone. The 6 Pro is better in all aspects but the difference isn't that much. A better overall experience and the strange part is that even though the Pixel 6 Pro has a much larger screen the full screen makes the two phones almost identical in size. Before I bought a case (OtterBox Defender Pro) the old case outer cover worked and fit the Pixel 6 Pro.

[@Bryuk91]

At the end of the day, they both take clear pictures. I don't see why some people are so nit-picky with cameras on different phones... if you can take a clear picture, that's all that matters.

Can't you afford to get some real colorful people and faces into your test inages? Rather than these drab outdoor and indoor things.

How you don't see it... ?! You see "identical" but they're not. Pixel 6 has less brightness to the shadows man, that in many cases makes a photo more realistic - better. Cinematic and portrait modes are a mess especially on 7 Pro.

[@diandrecarty4512]

Nope

[@diandrecarty4512]

[@andyH_England]

Is it me, I prefer realistic, so darer in the shadows is what I prefer. That is very subjective and does not make the photo/video better, just brighter. In post you can easily brighten the darker areas. So I disagree, the Pixel 6 Pro is better and I have both. The caveat was that I preferred my Pixel 5 to the Pixel 6 Pro a year ago, and Google did a few updates that reversed that opinion, so hopefully the P7P will get better.
