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.
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.
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!👍🏼
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
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).
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.
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. :/
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.
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
When I saw the new pixels drop, I immediately went to the phandroid RUclips 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.
Many people will say this is a wrong pair for comparison. Don't listen yo them please. This makes a lot of sense. These kind of comparisons are very helpful in deciding whether one is getting better value sticking with base phones or should one spend more for the extra things offered by the premium models. Adds a great perspective 👍
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!
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.
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
@@phandroid The Pixel 9 camera is better apart from the selfie video. also for the Pixel 9 to use the same main+ultrawide as the pro version is really nice
Way closer than I was expecting. They're same tier, but the p9 is half the price on sale. Another interesting one is the 8a at half the price of the pro series at its regular price, that I see you did.
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.
The reworked image processing pipeline works well, catching up iPhone video quality and even better is some circumstances! looking forward to p10 next year with much more powerful TSMC G5
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!
While the phones aren't aligned in model range good review still. It would be fair to say the 9 would certainly be better than the aligned base iPhone 15?
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.
I think iphone is much better in hdr because of its natural tone but pixel over sharpens the scenario like samsung which looks like some AI stuff. If you agree than reply me?
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 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.
5:57 so which one is the actual colour on the platform edge? is it orangish yellow like captured with the pixel 9 or standard yellow captured with the iphone 15?
But nobody mentioned how good & smooth is the video (even with zoom) of pixel compared to iPhone 15 pro max which has higher cam specs than base pixel. Its outstanding quality
У меня уже год pixel 8 pro. Сравнивал его фото со всеми iphone. Практически всегда pixel лучше. Я не утверждаю, что pixel делает лучшие телефоны в мире. Но однозначно они шикарны и лично я очень рад, что когда-то купил себе Google pixel. Для меня он топ.
I just wish Google would add PAL settings. I like to use my phone with my camera that is set to PAL. Apple has had this for a few years now. I think my Pixel 6 will be my last pixel as I also need airdrop and android transfer is terrible with my MacBook
Comparing a nonpro Google pixel with a Pro iPhone... that's enough not to watch this video... If Google sent you only pixel 9 you should have chosen iPhone 15 or 15 plus ...you had your choice but you made it up bro
Me da la sensación de que el pixel tiende a tener colores rojizos o magenta y el recorte del bokeh es malo este año… el iPhone queda por detrás en las fotos nocturnas
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...
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 🙃
The iphone was looking fairly rough compared to the pixel in most of everything you showed... inferior... also, would have been interesting to see a google pixel 9 pro xl.

Yet the pixel 9 was neck to neck with the iPhone , even better in most areas 😂😂😂.
The Pixel did good here. Actually won most occasions
😂 Because we want to see just like you did
Porque o Pixel mesmo sendo o mais simples, na prática ele foi superior ao Iphone "profissional"!
Thanks very much for the additional commentary in this video. Your perspective is appreciated.
My pleasure! How did you like the comparison? Pixel or iPhone?
@@phandroid pixel this time , seems better than iPhone .
Googles colour palette is far ahead of the competition
google has outdone themselves this time im not gonna lie
Good work ask always Nick!

I wasn't expecting the pixel to be so good in video vs the iphone. Impressed!
Thiis one of the best "real world" camera test I have seen!
Google did a better job in every way than iPhone except telephoto
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
@@Duhveedoh we expected let's see
And the reason is that the Pixel 9 does not have a telephoto. 😅
Pixel 9 have basic camera
Portraits on pixel are still garbage and video quality is still best on iphone tho
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).

:/
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
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.
Pixel is amazing!!!!

Definitely the Pixel
Nice video comparison. Can we expect oneplus 12 vs pixel 9 comparison too as both are closely priced.
Really appriciate your take on the video through commentary!
The Camera Comparison King!
Nice video 👌🏻 Waiting for Pixel 9 pro vs 8 pro

This Is So Helpful that you Compared The Non Pro Pixel 9 to the Pro iPhone15 that showed the POWER Of Pixel ♥️
Great comparision, is it all without video boost or using video boost ?
Without
That's a pro feature
This pixel videos has challenged iphone big time
Nice job as always!
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!

Great comparison. I hope you could also do it for the Pixel 9 pro XL
The improvement on Pixel 9 is rather huge
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.
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.
always fun watching these comparisons!
I know your choice.... PIXEL 9!
Great video! Thanks for this comparison.
One more thing: Please also show digital 5x zoom side by side with the iPhone
Ty for focusing on budget friendlier phones as compared to those doing ultra's and pro max's
That was a pro max.
@@davidbrown6137 pixel 9 tho. Not the pro xl one
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
Only pixel ❤❤❤
This comparison is well done
I appreciate it. What did you think of the devices?
@@phandroid The Pixel 9 camera is better apart from the selfie video.
also for the Pixel 9 to use the same main+ultrawide as the pro version is really nice
Pixel surprisingly seems to beat apple here. Especially in night time videos, im surprised
iPhone still rules the roost
Way closer than I was expecting. They're same tier, but the p9 is half the price on sale. Another interesting one is the 8a at half the price of the pro series at its regular price, that I see you did.
I prefer the pixel in photos and camera and much cheaper
In which gadget you are shooting? I like the color & stabilization.
Google, I'm impressed!!! I believe both are pretty close! Great results for both phones!
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.
😝😝😝😝😃 iPhone still rules the roost
Wow, Google has the best camera on the market right now.
Pixel 9 pro would destroy the iPhone
Pixel 9 better 😳
Beautiful location dear. Which is this city? Name plz
How can you compare a base model with another highest model? Unusual comparison 😊
The reworked image processing pipeline works well, catching up iPhone video quality and even better is some circumstances! looking forward to p10 next year with much more powerful TSMC G5
Thanks for your comparison 😊❤
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 it me or the pixel 9 lost the contrasting signature we usually see on other pixel devices?
Yeah. pixel 4 was peak. i much preffer the pixel 4 photos than the 9. sad... to processed, to flat
A lot of RUclipsrs started complaining and I think Google has toned it down.
@@allinfojoint2759 maybe too much?
Not bad for base pixel the videos are improving too
While the phones aren't aligned in model range good review still. It would be fair to say the 9 would certainly be better than the aligned base iPhone 15?
A real review thank you
Google actually cooked this time.
both great! Miniscule difference.
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.
I think iphone is much better in hdr because of its natural tone but pixel over sharpens the scenario like samsung which looks like some AI stuff.

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

This is a great video.
which one feels like it takes pictures closer to what it looks like in real life with your eyes?
The pixel is just ... Better!!! 😅
Pixel
pixel is actually better than iphone for video!! hige improvements!!
Pixel #1
More realistic and applicable comparison would've been Iphone 15 pro max vs either size of the Pixel 9 pro. C'mon bro!
love pixel google so much
15pro max 🤡🤡
Great video. The Pixel did great
5:57 so which one is the actual colour on the platform edge? is it orangish yellow like captured with the pixel 9 or standard yellow captured with the iphone 15?
Hello mister,you are the best review,please review totally camera and video between pixel 9 pro/xl with ofcourse pixel 8 pro.thank you before.
Píxel volvió a ser Píxel y en video por fin la rompieron 💪🏼🎉
But nobody mentioned how good & smooth is the video (even with zoom) of pixel compared to iPhone 15 pro max which has higher cam specs than base pixel. Its outstanding quality
Yeah, and that's without video boost (a feature exclusive to the pixel pro models).
What the???? Pixel??? Ready??? I can't believe this....wow
pixel best phone ❤
Pixel pixel pixel 🎉 and it's not even a pixel pro

In 0.38, which camera you use to record ?
I just wish Google would add PAL settings. I like to use my phone with my camera that is set to PAL. Apple has had this for a few years now.
I think my Pixel 6 will be my last pixel as I also need airdrop and android transfer is terrible with my MacBook
The front camera video looks green tinted on Pixel. I'd rather see 9 Pro XL v the S24 Ultra
Will definitely be doing that and a few more comparisons once the pixel 9 Pro XL shows up.
android phone with best front facing or selfie camera for video is pixel 9 huawei pura 70 ultra and s24 ultra
Thanks for the video can you do pixel 9 VS honor 200 pro
Hii sir i want to buy a new mobile phone for videography and cinematography in these two mobile phones only pixel 8 pro or pixel 9 ?
Is Pixel 9 capable of zoom beyond 2X even in digital?
iPhone always king 👑
not even close
@ you mean iPhone is far superior then? Of course!
Best pixel version is 8 pro
HDR of pixel is very good. But HDR is little unnatural also.
Its a sword which can do damage to both sides so pixek needs to be little careful
Comparing a nonpro Google pixel with a Pro iPhone... that's enough not to watch this video... If Google sent you only pixel 9 you should have chosen iPhone 15 or 15 plus ...you had your choice but you made it up bro
Perhaps, but this does show how good the Pixel 9 is.
I rather buy an iPhone than pixel! The prices is almost the same!
There's a $400 price point difference between these two smartphones.
Me da la sensación de que el pixel tiende a tener colores rojizos o magenta y el recorte del bokeh es malo este año… el iPhone queda por detrás en las fotos nocturnas
Pixel 9 detail & natural photo❤❤❤
Muy buen trabajo de Google 👌
The pixel is a jittery mess...I don't think u pointed that out once....
Pixel more better white balance

I'll pick a Pixel phone anytime for the camera.
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 🙃
finally catching up to iphone in regards to video
i have a 7 pro might jump to this one
I'm waiting to get my hands on the Pixel 9 Pro since I love having a true telephoto camera.
@@phandroid awesome ! will you make a video for that one ?
Thanks for the great content through the years
Pixel all the way😊
The iphone was looking fairly rough compared to the pixel in most of everything you showed... inferior... also, would have been interesting to see a google pixel 9 pro xl.
Why not pixel pro I think pro vs 15 pro Fight best 😂
Is there a heating problem in Pixel phone now?
We're here to talk about the cameras, not performance of the SoC. That being said... No, there's no heating issues.
