Pixel 9 versus iPhone 15 Pro Max camera comaprison

[@daltonwildes2215]

Why are you comparing the standard pixel 9 vs a pro iphone? This seems like the only comparison that doesnt make sense. No one is buying the standard pixel coming from a pro iphone.

[@phandroid]

Well... it's because it's the only Pixel 9 device Google sent me. I can't compare other phones yet since they don't go on sale until tomorrow. As for the cameras, the main and ultrawide on the back are exactly the same on the pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro, so the results should be identical. Also, the inferior 10.5MP camera on the Pixel 9 seems to run circles aroudn the iphone 15 Pro Max's selfie camera.

[@kojobonsu8187]

Yet the pixel 9 was neck to neck with the iPhone , even better in most areas 😂😂😂.

[@carver9312]

The Pixel did good here. Actually won most occasions

[@user-mw8mo1co7q]

😂 Because we want to see just like you did

[@augustocavalcante6844]

Porque o Pixel mesmo sendo o mais simples, na prática ele foi superior ao Iphone "profissional"!

Google did a better job in every way than iPhone except telephoto

[@Duhveedoh]

Well, as far as this video goes, the Pixel 9 doesn't have the 5x telephoto lens that the Pixel 9 Pro has. The 5x will have better results than the iPhone

[@user-pu6ui4ib4e]

[@tomasjuri]

And the reason is that the Pixel 9 does not have a telephoto. 😅

[@amethystiumDOTeu]

Pixel 9 have basic camera

[@belec5964]

Portraits on pixel are still garbage and video quality is still best on iphone tho

[@Ogura_Tech]

Pixel is amazing!!!!

[@luisarreguin2202]

Thanks for the camera review. I enjoyed seeing how good the pixel 9 can hold up to the 15 pro max. I'm stuck between getting the pixel 9 or the pixel 9 pro ( non xl).

[@phandroid]

All comes down to that 5x telephoto. If it's important to you, then you should get it. Also, the product models come with Gemini advanced which is typically $20 per month.

[@luisarreguin2202]

My problem is, I always wanna have the higher end models for the extra features. But after getting say a pro model I realize I could've done the same thing with the base models since i usually don't use the pro features anyway. :/

[@a1000island]

The pro does have a better screen, video boost, telephoto, higher megapixel newer selfie camera and Gemini live free for a year That's kind of allot

[@augustineigbele9477]

The pixel 9pro comes in 3 sizes this year, the 9, 9pro and 9pro XL, the pro is basically the same as the 9pro XL just in smaller size (same size as the base 9). The differences btwn the 9pro and 9pro XL is the screen size and battery.

[@Garret141076]

I give the 15 Pro the edge. The Pixel is a bit too processed and I don’t think they will tone down the aggressive HDR. Picture should be true to life and not something with filters. But the selfie and the ultra wide is better.

[@abdullahbinshahid3199]

I wasn't expecting the pixel to be so good in video vs the iphone. Impressed!

[@kenrampingplay]

3:32 moment on the iPhone is horrible. I was so shocked at how the night videos came out on the Pixel now. They were so bad before.

[@DvyynMicchael]

The Pixel 9 did an absolutely amazing job going up against the 15 Pro Max! And I also agree with you about the Pixel 9 selfie camera being better! Imagine the Pixel 9 Pro XL selfie camera. No chance Apple! I do think however that the 16 Pro Max will beat the Pixel 9 Pro XL! Let's see. Great video!👍🏼

[@ar72204]

The Camera Comparison King!

[@ivonikolov8709]

Definitely the Pixel

[@novostep4488]

i wanna see the pixel 9 pro xl new selfie camera so bad, because for what ive seen here , this new pixel 9 camera looks like the old pixel 8pro selfie camera tbh

[@danbrown162]

Pixel surprisingly seems to beat apple here. Especially in night time videos, im surprised

[@ahmed048888]

iPhone still rules the roost

[@maxmouse3]

Great video. I really like how wide the selfie camera on the pixel is. And often I prefer how Pixel has it's color science and dynamic range. Sometimes I prefer the iPhone, tho

[@haon2205]

The improvement on Pixel 9 is rather huge

[@selkybangs4333]

This pixel videos has challenged iphone big time

[@MOTHIATMAN]

Nice video comparison. Can we expect oneplus 12 vs pixel 9 comparison too as both are closely priced.

[@PPCCO.]

Wow, Google has the best camera on the market right now.

[@Kvothe_96]

Nice video 👌🏻 Waiting for Pixel 9 pro vs 8 pro

[@RoderickMonroe]

Thiis one of the best "real world" camera test I have seen!

[@johnboy8705]

When I saw the new pixels drop, I immediately went to the phandroid KZbin channel to check if there was any coverage from the Google event. Were you not invited Nick? Either way, great video! Can't wait for more to come! Also, I like the new commentary during the videos. It's not overly done just perfect. Good job.

[@javiermendez4097]

Great comparison video. Can't wait to see the Pro vs. Pro comparison video. I really want to see how the Pixel Pro's new selfie stacks up! My biggest gripe with Pixel selfies is the delaaaayed shutter lag when taking night time selfies with/without the Flash. @Nick, you mind testing that on your upcoming Pro vs. Pro camera comparisons? I only ask bc that's been a huge deal breaker for me these past few models. Thanks as always!

[@pedrofigueiredo5810]

Is it me or the pixel 9 lost the contrasting signature we usually see on other pixel devices?

[@susekbemfa]

Yeah. pixel 4 was peak. i much preffer the pixel 4 photos than the 9. sad... to processed, to flat

[@allinfojoint2759]

A lot of KZbinrs started complaining and I think Google has toned it down.

[@stevend3753]

Why are we pitting the standard 9 to the top end 15 Pro Max?

[@phandroid]

Did you not listen to the intro and hear about the cameras? Also, comparisons aren't always about putting two devices against each other that are evenly matched.

[@I_use_youtube]

I was happy to see it. I'm trying to decide between the Pro and the regular 9 and it was good to see how the regular 9 compared to what a lot of people say is the "best camera" on a cell phone. I now think I don't need to buy the 9 pro just for the camera.

[@md.salahuddinparvez6466]

How can you compare a base model with another highest model? Unusual comparison 😊

[@sidharthsingh2600]

Great comparision, is it all without video boost or using video boost ?

[@sengyiplee6768]

It's interesting, under certain lighting conditions I'd have to give it to the iPhone, no questions asked, but under other conditions it's a toss up. But at night though, that's 100% Google's territory. Both photos and videos look way more natural!

Is Pixel 9 capable of zoom beyond 2X even in digital?

Apart from the video selfie and obviously the zoom, honestly, for everything else, and even in video, the Pixel 9 is better than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

[@blakecraft8750]

Not to mention on pixel you can adjust your sliders right in the camera for things like highlights and shadows etc im tempted with the pro model but my concerns with pixel are in other areas, like software and battery.

[@user-qy1rh5sq2x]

[@rp2010]

A bit odd comparing the bog standard Pixel to the Pro tier iPhone. Would have made more sense to compare the standard iPhone 15 to the Pixel 9. Feels a bit dishonest. I guess you should next compare the 9 Pro XL against the standard iPhone 15 then 🙃

[@seanburns1972]

The front camera video looks green tinted on Pixel. I'd rather see 9 Pro XL v the S24 Ultra

[@phandroid]

Will definitely be doing that and a few more comparisons once the pixel 9 Pro XL shows up.

[@jaipalreddy4894]

Apple used to be good spec phone, but google came up now they both are equal in quality. I prefer good quality photos and always a fan of apple phones. But in recent years, I have been getting a dozen spam calls a day. Usually those spam call centers has their phones in the same series, so it is easy to blcok the entire series of phone numbers in Android True Caller app. But in apple , we have no such option to block entire series. This is one reason , I switched to android, now I am able to block all those spammers & sleep well. APPLE you should learn the actual need of people, not just same boring features...
