IMO a better way to do Macro with Pixel is to actually use the zoom lens to zoom far into your subject. This won't have the bokeh effect of the iPhone's macro, but will allow you to get detailed close up shots.
@@TechMax9 It's not technically macro in the traditional sense (the camera won't actually be right up against the subject). But you can get very detailed close up shots with the zoom lens.
Can’t wait for my 6 Pro arriving tomorrow Dan, never felt so exited about a phone as I do for this Pixel! I’m not too bothered about the video side as don’t use that much, I like taking photos of Devon where we live, and seeing how I can improve them further in Lightroom, bit of a hobby for me. Thanks for the comparison Dan much appreciated and very reassuring I’ve got the right phone. Sorta Sunny and have the case arriving Friday too. Happy girl! 😊👍🏻👌🏻xx💕
I'm praying and hoping the weaknesses of the Pixel 6 Pro camera will be strengthened with software updates. Coming from the Pixel 2 XL, I have seen some crazy software homebrews
Great to see two phones with great cameras. The funny thing is, no matter what camera feature you use most, the selection of phone is most likely chosen by operating system, and not the small differences in camera.
The best youtube channel of all time I have ever seen. Spending a lot of money to give quality content to the audience. Best youtube team I have ever seen. A lot of knowledge of tech industry and Apple. I said this because I have learned many things from them. Excellent management and a precious channel for me and many people.
I've found that by using the telephoto lens on the Pixel 6 Pro to zoom into a subject actually results in a sharper and better image than iPhone's macro shot. Not entirely sure I agree on ALL of the video comparison, but I do agree that at 5:47 the Pixel looks to win on contrast and color. The iPhone makes the dog look almost beige in color, whereas the Pixel the dog looks more golden. Also the color of the grass is better on the Pixel than on the iPhone. I will admit that the iPhone image is a bit sharper, but the contrast and color win goes to Pixel. At 10:06, sorry bud, but night skies are not blue. lol For the image at 11:16, remember that Pixel's camera software allows for adjusting light exposure, contrast, color, etc. editing right in the camera software. So if you want less brightness, just edit the photo, adjust the brightness and BINGO! Lastly, rumour has it that Google is supposed to be releasing software updates for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro (Android 12.1) soon, which is supposed to improve battery life, and camera software. Let's hope that's the case. Great video as always, which is why I subscribe to your channel.
Edit: How most people want to remember them. I myself don't like the colors of the iPhone and had therefore hoped the Pixel would finally get better hardware again so that they can finally be compared to the top-smartphones again in Terms of features and sharpness. I simply like the darker and more contrasty look of the Pixel
@@latech7671 more contrasty look of the Pixel... what? as right now, pixel has a lot less contrast than iphone, even more, iphone is one of the most contrasty phones rn
@@elinavance3476 they just want to hate on Apple lol. The only phone that is superior is the new Sony’s flagship, that thing is way superior to the iPhone (as long as a professional photographer takes the pictures)
5:25 to 6:00 I kinda like the pixel video for saturated color and clear clouds and perfectly highlight building 🥰🥰 Then iphone whitish look and bright video
If Google fixes the video problems through software updates the game is over for iphone 13 pros. I can't believe how realistic the HDR+ video colours appeared to my eyes. Unbelievable
As a pixel fan, we owe the quality of the cameras to Google trying to beat Apple. If it wasn't for Apple, the industry wouldn't be anywhere near where it is. There's no game over for Apple, only more progress. Especially considering they have better earbuds, watches, tablets etc. I'd love to have a Google watch, earbuds that have sound passthrough, etc.
@@readylayer8 Actually; Pixel was a much better camera than Iphone until last 2 generations. it is only very recent that iphone passed the pixel. Now it seems Pixel has taken the lead back; except for video
Normal people don’t see these minor differences, and the regular iPhone 13s have last years pro lens, and selling well. It’s in the OS now. I don’t see as OS migration will be big anymore. People now are just invested in the ecosystems. I don’t think many android users at this point will move to iPhone either
Yours and Mr.Whosetheboss's camera comparisions are really really good. Strange, you didn't see many of the issues Arun was having with his comparision though.
@@faysal4763 but according to him pixel was hands-down better than iphone in all daytime photos except portrait mode sooo! Like did he now have problems with iphone?
It's amazing how the results vary from each tech review as far as opinions. The video quality is a toss up. The sound quality in video the pixel blows the iPhone away. You can adjust the blur on pixels as well. I don't think neither looked good in night video. Pixel was brighter. Still better was usable.
The Pixel 6 Pro has so much noise in their video, it’s quite frustrating to use. I love the phone itself but I really hope this is fixed. The iPhone is definitely better in this regard.
Unfair that the iphones zoom wasn't taken into consideration, should have done a 3x zoom photo comparison, but still, they both are so close it's almost just upto out preference on what we like.
Great work, must have taken along time to put this together! I wonder if some future updates will improve the pixel further for video and portrait mode, new sensors and SOC so it's an impressive start. 😎👊🔥
Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with either (I have a 13 Pro coming in a couple of weeks). In five years or so, they'll be at the DSLR/Mirrorless level. That will be my next upgrade!
In the night mode shots, the pixel takes longer exposure shots compared with the iPhone. That’s why it looks brighter, but in the night timelapse and video it really shows that image noise because it can’t take long exposure in those modes.
In most night pics where there's light you really don't need to use the night mode. It's regular pictures are better than most night mode shots. You really only need to use it when there's hardly any light
Apple just told me there’s a bug causing HDR not to work. Apparently it’s being fixed, tho they didn’t give me a timeframe. Might explain a lot of these results, which I noticed just after getting my 13 pro today.
@@FrizzyLoc18 That’s missing the entire point of a Pixel tho. Pixel’s are known to be point and shoot which is most likely the reason behind not having a manual mode. I’m sure there will be an update.
Just want to say good job to both companies, both have very impressive cameras and best ones on the market, Apple and Google should collaborate but doubt that would happen would be sick though
@@elforensico78 The Pixel definitely isn’t a 10 out of 10 camera. It’s very inconsistent at the moment which is a shame because it used to be very consistent and whilst the video is much better it’s also very noisy. That isn’t a 10 out of 10 camera.
Video recording Is noisy AND poor detail it's photography computational, on camera is always constant because it gives you a good dynamic range without anything burned or overexposed ... with good detail, the hdr + is very exhaustive that's good, my brother's phone 13 only activates the hdr when he feels like it, sometimes nor does it activate it and it looks very normal. but that if ... the one of the iphone when activated looks very good
These phones are both so good that the difference comes in at the level that an average user does not even know to look 😅😅😅, but Iphone videos stand out so much, i feel that category needed 2points lol.
@@neil_rahmouni It's different person to person. I think @cyril have a valid point. Photos are comparable in both the phones. But video in iPhone stands out a lot. So, iPhone will be a great deal for this.
Got to admit the pixel video’s sky color looks littt. The color on the pixel should have gotten an extra point for this. It looks really great. Even though I am an iPhone user.
As someone who really wanted to get this pixel, I can't man...that low light video simply doesn't belong to a 2021 released phone. I don't know how you can put Pixel as the winner, I would rather loose some points on HDR in daylight and some details in low light ( even tho both photos are very usable ) unlike the night recording where you can't use the pixel one...I think that's been it for me on Android, ordering my first iPhone, after so many years of Samsungs and others, I've lost faith that any can deliver an overall good camera.
Pixel 6 Pro doesn't use 4x telephoto camera in video. Pixel 6 pro keeps using digital zoom on the main camera instead of 4x optical lens, even in good light.
The night mode on the iPhone is actually superior. It just takes significantly less time which is more user-friendly. Just make it to take longer time for night mode and it will win. Meaning the iPhone is actually the winner
I think pixel's video recording focus heavily on the improvement of dynamic range (sky as an example) with their ISP that they tout during the launch, which looks better than IPhone in my opinion 6:29. but that kinda falls apart under low light condition, which I hope they address in the future. On top of that, the stabilization cannot compare with IPhone's, it is okay, but Iphone is still miles better. Anyway, I like your review a lot.
Could be right. Pixel wanted hdr on video. They achieved that during the day it seems. Maybe not as sharp but I'd rather have colours pop like that than a sharp video with less colours ala iPhone. But night time, the smaller pixel sizes severely hampers it
@@supaahflyy Agree, pixel size is the key here. I think their camera upgrade on pixel 6 are all about HDR for both still-images and video. But does not optimize well for low light scenarios as many reviewers had pointed out that pixel6 night shot took a bit longer than other phone. The underlying issues is most likely due to the smaller pixel sizes, which gather less amount of light, and required longer exposure time. More pixels render better HDR images yet comes with a huge tradeoff in low-light scenarios. This becomes a significant issue in video. Overall, Pixel6 still have amazing shot, especially shines on the dynamic range and color, but suffers from low light photography a bit in my opinion.
Arun actually had a different conclusion and different results than yours surprisingly. But y’all both mentioned googles superior low light and iPhones superior video.
You forgot 1 thing. Pixel uses much longer exposure time with nightmode. This is nice with static objects but other than that it's a big issue. On the other hand you can set exposure time on the iPhone 13. Pixel is only better in daylight shots.
For me it was 19 Points for Pixel vs 12 for iPhone (I gave them both points in some areas) Pixel is the clear winner for me. And I actually liked a lot the lowlights video for the Pixel but didn't give it the point.
What I've learned to do is to not nitpick, especially after MKBHD started his blind comparisons. A bunch of the phones we regard as camera giants don't even get to go past the first two rounds. Just pick what you can afford/prefer.
They are ridiculous, and a hassle when you are the one behind the camera. Let’s face it, most people who are getting pixels won’t be tweaking it either.
I actually think pixel does better in daily light video, apparently in its richer colors, maybe you can get conclusion with convincing reasons, but not directly deciding.
The Portrait-Shots with the Back-Camera of the Pixel seem very strange as non of the previous Pixels did this bad of a job and indeed, even the Pixel 6 Pro with the Front-Cam did the usual great job every Pixel before the 6 did (at least from what I have seen in the least years). I also saw a few other reviews with Portrait Shots and they were much better and pretty much like the front-facing camera in this test when it came to separation so I really don't know what went wrong with your tests here. Otherwise great comparison. You almost took the exact same pictures as me every time. I only picked the Coffee-Shot for the Pixel as I simply liked the colors in this shot way more and for videos the iPhone actually wasn't that much ahead in daytime in my opinion as while the iPhone was much cleaner, the colors where simply (in my opinion) significantly better in the Pixels video
I'm so fascinated about how all the major reviews are about the top of the line phones yet with pixels and iPhones the standard phones sell the most. iPhone 13 and Pixel 6 have sold way more than the 13 Pro Max and 6 Pro.
12MP is really the sweet spot for video up to 4k, and the reason why the A7s3 a full frame video oriented camera is 12MP. 50MP is just too much to fit in such a small sensor.
I dont get it, those hdr pics suck, im a photographer and i hate those lighthened shadows. Shadows gives depth to photo's. Thats why i like the iphone shots more.
IMO the pixel did significantly better in almost all of the aspects. The pixel is the camera king all over again after failing to improve for a couple of years in the middle. Watching out for the S22 ultra though. Its fun how smartphone camera wars are more competitive now than ever.
4:43 is it because your macbook isn't a HDR display so that the iPhone 13 Pro has a blown out sky? Maybe compare it using a HDR display can display it properly.
As an iphone user since 2007@ 20 years old. I am finally giving up apple for this phone. I am tired of all these tricks apple does, such as raise prices on the iphone with all these models. IE the "now" regular" iphone has a diagonal camera array just to differentiate it from a 12. Little bs like this is what drove me to leave this bs apple "ecosystem"
If I popped out my 13 Pro Max and tried to take some night mode video around the street, it would get stolen in 5 minutes flat, giving 1 point to the Pixel.
Some RUclipsr are saying pixel sucks in front of 13… it won for you… I think it maybe improve with software updates? And videography too? I’m confused now
Do you know that we have fun manipulating /editing photos on available photo editing apps? Regardless of phone brands, we do not have issues with the camera.
@@FrizzyLoc18 so years after and they don't put manual exposure, like for example I have on my good old Huawei Mate 10 Pro and almost anything from Xiaomi.

I actually think pixel does better in daily light video, apparently in its richer colors, maybe you can get conclusion with convincing reasons, but not directly deciding.
watch on a bigger screen and youll see how soft it is
@@theplanespotterguy does the iPhone video look dull because of hdr video?
@@elinavance3476 maybe? i turned it off on my 13 Pro. On the phone dolby vision looks tremendous
Daniel two nice devices.Look forward to checking out the Pixel in person.Always enjoy.Deb ✌️
How was the macro shots on the Pixel done? I saw pretty close comparisons with the zoom lens being used on the Pixel.
He took a regularly shot and cropped out the rest until it was just the piece of metal thing.
pixel don't have a macro lens but if you zoom the 's' it will be 2 times better than iphone
Let's make this video simple: pixel 6 Pro King 👑
wow google pixel has a damn good camera which is insane. i hope that you will do comparison between pixel and s21 plus.
Need your advice. Iphone 13 or google pixel is the beast ?
Props to you for seeing these differences, i would have never noticed
Me too hhahah, i did not even know where to look
The Portrait-Shots with the Back-Camera of the Pixel seem very strange as non of the previous Pixels did this bad of a job and indeed, even the Pixel 6 Pro with the Front-Cam did the usual great job every Pixel before the 6 did (at least from what I have seen in the least years). I also saw a few other reviews with Portrait Shots and they were much better and pretty much like the front-facing camera in this test when it came to separation so I really don't know what went wrong with your tests here.
Otherwise great comparison. You almost took the exact same pictures as me every time. I only picked the Coffee-Shot for the Pixel as I simply liked the colors in this shot way more and for videos the iPhone actually wasn't that much ahead in daytime in my opinion as while the iPhone was much cleaner, the colors where simply (in my opinion) significantly better in the Pixels video
I'm so fascinated about how all the major reviews are about the top of the line phones yet with pixels and iPhones the standard phones sell the most. iPhone 13 and Pixel 6 have sold way more than the 13 Pro Max and 6 Pro.
Why do you think? You tell me.
12MP is really the sweet spot for video up to 4k, and the reason why the A7s3 a full frame video oriented camera is 12MP. 50MP is just too much to fit in such a small sensor.
I dont get it, those hdr pics suck, im a photographer and i hate those lighthened shadows. Shadows gives depth to photo's. Thats why i like the iphone shots more.
Use 4x zoom instead of macro on the pixel
True
You need to work on your mobile photography sir📸 to be honest they look the same to me 🤷🏾♂️
Loved the video.
You just got another subscriber👍
IMO the pixel did significantly better in almost all of the aspects. The pixel is the camera king all over again after failing to improve for a couple of years in the middle. Watching out for the S22 ultra though. Its fun how smartphone camera wars are more competitive now than ever.
Your videos are freaking amazing! Can't wait for the comparison with the S21 Ultra since I like its camera better than the iPhone's.
This is a very subjective comparison of the two. And some of the differences are so miniscule it's probably not even worth mentioning.
Why comparison vlogs are so perfectionist. What's the matter with that in life.
If you want macro on a pixel just use x2 or x3 digital zoom. The sensor is big enough to handle this if cropping into the sensor
4:43 is it because your macbook isn't a HDR display so that the iPhone 13 Pro has a blown out sky? Maybe compare it using a HDR display can display it properly.
The HDR processing on the Pixel is insaneeee
The front facing selfies on pixel are great, natural and superb.
I have seen the professional photographers taking portraits with 4x tele. Looks amazing. Just natural blur
As an iphone user since 2007@ 20 years old. I am finally giving up apple for this phone. I am tired of all these tricks apple does, such as raise prices on the iphone with all these models. IE the "now" regular" iphone has a diagonal camera array just to differentiate it from a 12. Little bs like this is what drove me to leave this bs apple "ecosystem"
Yayyyyy...Google we won....Great video anyway...I appreciate ur unbiased analysis
why you dont use 3x telephoto shot instead of 4x that give pixel 2 extr point and the hdr itself give 4 point to pixel
Will the Pixel be getting a firmware update to improve camera performance?
Yes.
@@Mohamedahmed-jz7xd where did you hear that ?
Yes, actually as of the time I post this comment there’s already a update for better camera performance and features
This year pixel improved their camera sensor and also some software development.
Nice video test . Do you think the pixel 6 will get better at portrait pictures with updates etc. ?? As my pixel 5 was very good ☀️☀️☀️
Yes right now it's on pre release software. Wait until it gets a few updates and see what it does
@@sablemae8853 nice one cheers . ☀️
excellent review. please continue this levl of detail.
If I popped out my 13 Pro Max and tried to take some night mode video around the street, it would get stolen in 5 minutes flat, giving 1 point to the Pixel.
For me i want it to look more natural with shadows
When Apple used to show shadow a lot detail y’all used to call it flat. Y’all are funny
After watching the video between S21 Ultra vs Pixel 6pro, it's safe to say Samsung is still the camera champ for 2021
Yeah that seems to be the most important thing for you. I'm just amazed how good the Pixel does and I'm an iPhone user
Is your dog named Ren because of Ren and Stimpy? If so that's pretty clever lol
If you capture ProRAW on the iPhone, you can fix the shadows and get way more details.
i believe the camera will get improved through software update.
Some RUclipsr are saying pixel sucks in front of 13… it won for you… I think it maybe improve with software updates? And videography too? I’m confused now
just looking, the pixel video looked better to me. The colors were better the general look appeared natural.
In the video comparison I noticed that dog looks Better on the Pixel's video.
Do you know that we have fun manipulating /editing photos on available photo editing apps? Regardless of phone brands, we do not have issues with the camera.
Oh man, is this the ULTIMATE comparison! OMG!!! I guess I HAVE to watch this!!!!
I saw another youtuber mentions to use the 4x lens for macros and it allowed him to get a lot closer.
Does the Pixel 6 Pro also have a "pro" (manual exposure) mode, unlike the iPhone?
I wouldn’t say pro mode, but it has sliders to adjust exposure, temperature, and brightness when inside the viewfinder
@@FrizzyLoc18 so years after and they don't put manual exposure, like for example I have on my good old Huawei Mate 10 Pro and almost anything from Xiaomi.
May i know the price of pixel 6pro 128gb ?? Plz
Side Q: what is the location? The Timelapse looked like it was shooting Old Trafford Manchester
Bro great work ,but what about long exposure and action with pixel
Seria bueno que hagas otro video ya que ambos han actualizado sus camaras
its getting hot when gaming??overheating??why the games are capped at 60 hz??
