Google Pixel 6 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro CAMERA review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- We review the new Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone ($900 at sdp.io/pixel6pro) vs the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max to see which has the better camera. We test the action panning with motorsports, portrait photography (both telephoto and wide-angle), long exposures (both on-and-off a tripod), night photography, and astrophotography (with and without a tripod), and daylight photography. The winner is really shocking-the iPhone has been defeated and we have a NEW best smartphone camera champion!

The iPhone does have wide angle portraits and wide angle night portraits. You might want to go back over that part of the video. Absolutely huge slip up. It can be accessed on the portrait mode live view through tapping the little circle with the “3x” in the bottom left corner switching between the 1x and 3x lenses while retaining the portrait mode.
True & sorry I overlooked that! It’s weird they move the zoom function in Portrait mode from directly above the shutter button. Pinning this so others see; I wish there were a better way to annotate videos.
@@TonyAndChelsea this video is very misleading. And very had to understand.the points where randomly added to the pixel and not to the iPhone when it wins
I think these is a paid video.
Fan girls are upset because they don't have a life and iphone is everything to them like a 12 year old.
@@gv1400 comparing should be without bias. And it's it depends on the user. These content is bias.
You may have not realized it, but on the Astro photography demo, that little disk you were pointing out is the galaxy Andromeda. Cell phones taking pics of galaxies. Amazing times!
Whoa! Nice catch
I have Huawei Mate 20 Pro and it's been taking galaxy and constellation pictures for a while now.
Hope iPhone 23 will catch up with it 10 years later 😂
The 6 Pro also lets you use the periscope camera for astrophotography according to some users. This leads to even better results from Andromeda.
P30 Pro also a great night-time camera and even handheld is it is astonishing it looks like Google it might be I can't wait to try out
@@clifevieira07 I still use my P30 Pro to this day and am curious if I should get the Pixel 6 Pro or not. Maybe prices will drop a bit since the Pixel 7 is out in a bit. Let's see 😅
Love your camera reviews!
I get so board seeing huge reviewers slightly comparing colors and selfies. You guys went way further and actually talk about telephoto shots, macro shots, long exposures, and you made the differences super easy to see!
I know you guys are photography pros, but I would love to see video comparison between the 2 as well!
I would recommend using the 4x Lens on the Pixel to take portrait shots (not portrait mode). Produces some stellar portraits with real bokeh. Many reviewers miss this, but for me its a huge advantage :)
I agreed
Agree completely until Google fixes this. My Pixel 3a currently takes better portrait mode shots than the 6 Pro.
@@sidersproductions941 it most likely will.
The pixel 3a has gotten so many updates and thus the camera has defines improved and I guess google will do so with the 6 as well
@@sulabhghimire250 was about to say this
@@sidersproductions941 Oh well my point was that portrait shots with the 6 pros 4x lens (no portrait mode) is better than any portrait Mode on any phone. :) longer focal length and natural bokeh wins any day of the week because the face looks better the further away you are when you take the photo. Wide angle lenses make faces look unnatural and worse :D
@12:13 amazing that you can see the Andromeda galaxy on a phone picture
Curious where the video comparison video is for these phones. At the end you said one was next but I don't see it anywhere. Just subscribed because of this video btw. Love what you guys did here.
Very interesting comparison. Was good to see the pros and cons of each phone.
Your test is the best camera comparison I've seen so far. Keep up the good work!
Every other channel: Praises the iPhones wide angle portrait mode.
The Northrups: It doesn’t exist.
Whut?
😂 exactly
Yeah they really wanted to give some biased wins to the pixel lol
They mean't to say ultra wide angle, it's a shame they made the same error multiple times in 1 video :\
@@YuuToobz that’s not the case. Neither phone has an ultra wide angle portrait mode because it would look ridiculous. They are referring to the wide angle cameras on both phones and they failed on more than one occasion to switch to the regular 1x camera while in portrait mode on the iPhone and then repeatedly stated that it doesn’t exist.
@@319.e Oh you're right, I just assumed they were using the ultrawide on the pixel. Well that's even more embarrassing for them I guess. But it's a ("totally not")sponsored review so I guess these things should be expected.
Thanks for an excellent real world testing from a Photographer's point of view. I would love to see a comparison of the Pixel 6 Pro with the new Sony Xperia Pro-I.
Pixel wins hands down
This being Google's first major sensor change, I can only imagine it'll only get better with updates. It shoots phenomenal raw which is a great starting point
No, I have returned the Pixel 6 Pro because the noise reduction is more aggressive than previous Google phones and due to many other camera issues. And no, it's not the first major sensor change. Google's multi frame noise reduction HDR+ exists since 2013. Already in 2013 Google combined up to 10 raw files in its HDR+ On mode. Google has used many different sensors since 2013, even sensors from different manufacturers. For example, the selfie camera of the Google Nexus 5x has an Omnivision sensor and also used Google's HDR+. People try to find excuses for Google's mistakes. Google doesn't improve the camera with updates apart from special modes like Night Sight. For example, the Nexus 5x HDR+ On mode takes much better daylight photos than the Pixel 3a. In perfect light conditions it's even better than the Pixel 6 because the Pixel 6 suffers from aggressive noise reduction in perfect light conditions. Actually, Google makes the camera worse with updates. They removed the white balance presets of the Pixel 3a, they removed the ultra wide angle astrophotography mode of the Pixel 5, they decreased the low light image quality of the Nexus 5x, etc. And the Pixel 6 doesn't have the HDR+ enhanced mode of the Pixel 3. HDR+ enhanced is nothing else than a faster/sharper and more reliable Night Sight mode.
How do they compare for video? Would love to see a video on that.
Great comparison. I know it's asking a lot but I'd also like to see some pictures on the newer phones with one of the third party apps that lets you take more control of the camera. I know I use Camera + 2 on my older iPhone 8 and I am sure something like it exists for Android as well.
Great video.Hope you guys try out the Vivo X70 pro plus.
OMG thanks very much.
I really wished you did this and now you have. It's better to watch a photographer review the camera on a smartphone.
The moment case for the pixel has MagSafe magnets on the case. The moment puck should work with the pixel also
Excellent video, thanks!!!
"Ugh, I really got to pluck some of those black hairs" Too Funny 🤣🤣
Great job Tony and Chelsea, fantastic comparison 👌🏻
thank you for the inspirational and entertaining comparison.
How does the telephoto do on the pixel for shooting portraits? I know it doesn't have portrait mode on that lens, but I'd be curious to know how it looks anyways.
You can turn down the portrait bokeh on the Pixel. Some reviewers prefer the natural bokeh of the telephoto lens (portrait mode off).
Really ?
I swapped from android to apple as i feel apples whole eco system is much smoother. So much so that i can live with any small differences in the cameras. Since using my iphone for photography and even ditching my sony mirrorless plus full frame canon as well as windows power pc. I am entirely focused on composition and story rather then stressing over technical details and whether photo are being uploaded or not or if my pc is gonna do another failed update during photo editing. These things apple has advantage over most other operating systems now. Not having to marry android to windows etc.everything is virtually seemless.
So for me thats what makes the camera more desirable.
A big Hello folk's from myself at the Giants Causeway here in Northern Ireland. I've been a great admirer of you two and the multiple reviews you have done over the past few year's and this review on the Pixel 6pro and iPhone 13 Pro max was brilliant as usual. Could I ask for your opinion on the Huawei p40 pro as a stills/night sight camera. I'm not concerned about the p40 pro not having googles operating system just what you think about its photo quality. I've just bought one for £200 and I'm very impressed but I'd like a professional opinion. Best wishes to you both and thank you for your time🍀❤️🍀👍😁
I've been using the 5x telephoto lens on my note 20 ultra to capture portraits since day one. Its such a long and compressed lenght that it produces natural bokeh on its own. You don't need a portrait mode for that lens. I bet the pixel can do the same. I don't understand why pro photographers don't do this when reviewing camera phones. 105, 135, 200 are great protrait lengths.
Definitely Pixel Phones have to fix this fake blur, it's same issue since Pixel 2 as I know
apple added fake blur to iphone 13
They improved it massively with the pixel 4 and then never used the same tech again and reverted to the same tech in pixel 2 for future phones. Shame.
@@maverick85 I have now a pixel 5, don't feel much improved on the edge of the blur and the focus subject
dear sir , i highly recommend using the pixel 6 pro 4x optical lens for potrait shots..not the dedicated potrait mode..my frnd overseas sent me some potrait samples of P6P using the 4x..and the results were , with all due respect , nothing sort of off the charts!!!
Great video guys! 🙂
I absolutely love my Pixel 6 Pro, fantastic camera, way above all others I've seen, even the new S22 Ultra overall going from videos I've seen, I'm well happy! 👍🏻🙂🇬🇧
I have an iPhone 12 pro max and I indeed have wide angle (primary camera) portrait mode o.O
No you don’t, Tony said it doesn’t exist. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I haven't been here in a while, but I'm reminded: You guys are so good at what you do!
You can now buy magsafe cases for the pixel> As well for the pixel I have seen some use the telephoto lens to do macro
Hi guys. Are you still planning on doing a video on the R6 vs A7IV? 🧐
How many of the photos you used in your comparisons will you be willing to post in your instagram feed?
You can do wide angle portraits on iPhone… just hit the 3x and it switches to 1x. Much better in low light than your example when using the 1x lens.
I'm shocked with pixel astrophotography shot, looks like it came from an actual camera...
This is the best Review unbiased and realtime camera review.,,Great video definitely deserve a sub and like continue to make more great stuff guys.🔥
I learned photography from you guys your review is great nothing compares wen it comes to photography it gives a tone of details that others just have no idea...
And as for bias well it doesn't interfere with the facts in the video you shared the results in the same conditions....
I would like to see the test against the Samsung ultra I know they are different price brackets but I would like to see how they compare..
Ps just ordered pixel 6 Pro :) I love night photography and sadly I do not have a DSLR any more
Great review guys. I'm after the phones to choose for long distance video recording - for surfing. Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks. Matt :)
Great comparison. Well done. I was leaning towards the iPhone…never thought the Google would be so much better.
For Canon EOS R - Landscape photography on a tripod at 24mm. Does it make sense to buy RF 24-70 or RF 24-105 L F4? I know that RF 24-70 is sharper at the corners. Does it have better contrast and color rendition? Does it make sense to spend so much more money on RF 24-70 over RF 24-105 L F4 for landscape at 24mm at F8? Basically, my question is - how big is the difference at 24mm at F8? Will I be able to tell the difference on a processed landscape RAW file on 55 inch LG CX OLED? Thank you.
The review was great ! I have seen lot of comparisons lately and the problem is that the comparison is not related to point and shoot between 2 camera , instead of highlighting add on features to make a phone look better than the other is not correct. Like astrophotography is something I would do with my actual camera rather than taking photos with my phone.
Tony or Chelsea,
I'm curious if the Google pixel 6/6pro supports the DJI go 4 app? There's been reports that the video feed is not being displayed on the phone when connected to a DJI drone. This is the only thing holding me back from getting this phone.
Nice and fun video. Enjoyed watching from beginning to end. 👍🏼(Pixel 6 Pro Owner)
Love you guys. The world is a better place thanks to you both.
What about Cinematic Mode? (iPhone)
Google Pixel 6 Pro users, do you also have this experience of too much contrast, shadow and texture/oversharpening, without being able to adjust the camerasettings? It's like the 6 Pro ads a filter after taking the picture, which makes it look way different. Backgrounds and faces are oversharpened and red tones are gone. In portretmode there is a hard line between person and background and you can't adjust the blur to make this less visible. Many people and sites recommend it as the smartphone with 'the best camera', so do I oversee any settings? If not, do you recommend another (android) phone for (portret)photo and video?
Should have played the jaw's music at 11:49. LOL
Can you do a comparison between Vivo X70 Pro Plus and iPhone 13 Pro Max?
Too funny you two. I actually returned my pixel 6 pro not for the camera but for other issues I just felt like hindered my day to day and went with the iPhone 13 pro but I might switch back once some software issues are resolved on the six pro.
Love this video!
One thing to add: moment cases have magsafe installed for pixel with the ability to use any magsafe accessory and moment lens. And it's not quite macro but pixel's telephoto mode can sort of capture close up enough photos to fool some into thinking macro without needing to get 2cm close.
Not true. I have returned the Pixel 6 Pro. The 6 Pro chooses 4x digital zoom for macro images with an effective resolution of 0.8 megapixels. Also, the main camera offers a higher full frame equivalent magnification than the periscope camera.
"Pluck out a few black hairs" haha
I feel you have set a new benchmark for all RUclipsrs and yourselves as to how to do a camera comparison !! Brilliant work guys, keep it up !!!
You two Kids..... Thanks for this!!
I am in no way a great photographer. I'm an IT security engineer (by trade) but I love photography. From an IT perspective, it would be a one-sided conversation, but photography skews the argument. I have an iPhone 13 Pro (work device) and a Pixel 6 Pro (personal device). The iPhone is a better video camera. Is it significantly better? No.........but the difference is noticeable. The Pixel is the better still photo shooter. Also, if you have 4 mins to spare, put the Pixel 6 Pro on a tripod and take a an astrophotography photo....and you will be amazed. Like all phone conversations though, you need to pick the one that works for you. This comes down to an Android vs iOS conversation. My employer will always give me an iPhone..........and I'll always buy a personal Android device. It really comes down to what works for you. Avoid looking at Geekbench scores, and get the phone that works for you. For the average user, almost any modern smartphone will take pictures and video that are 'good enough'.
Why you don't compare RAW photo?
Isn't one of the iphones new feature the ability to adjust how the image processing is done I'd love to see how well you guys think that works and weather you can get rid of some of the colour problems that you have with the images
Yeah they didn’t cover that which would allow you to change the contrast, saturation and color temperature. They also didn’t cover any 3rd party apps
@@chidorirasenganz I can understand not using third party apps as I'm not sure how many people would use them but a feature that apple had at there event I'd assume lots of people would use it. maybe a video showing what's possible with a third party app vs the stock one would be cool though
@@cooldante11 yeah I think if it’s a photography channel (plus they used a tripod) they can use 3rd party apps when that’s one of the big features of iOS vs android. Better creative apps
@@chidorirasenganz definitely never seen anyone use a tripod with there phone in the wild
I have experience with an iPhone 13 Mini and with a Pixel 6 Pro. Apple's photographic styles are far less useful than Google's sliders. Apple's photographic styles consist of two sliders: an auto white balance slider and a "tone" slider. Google offers an auto white balance slider, too and it's much easier to use. Google also offers a shadows slider, which is far more useful than Apple's tone slider. Google's shadows slider lets you adjust whether you want an HDR look or not. In combination with the brightness slider, you can basically always avoid blown out highlights and still get a bright photo. Though there is an issue that the camera app often rather reduces the exposure time instead of the analog gain.
The iPhone has the advantage that it can save a setting like -0.7 EV, whereas the Pixel resets this whenever you open the camera app or open a photo.
What about the Sony Xperia pro I?
Please compare the Sony Xperia Pro-i Vs Pixel 6 Pro!
Try to find Huawei P40 pro + (not p 40 pro), and also if you planing to make a series out of comparing smartphone cameras, you should include RAW mode, to see which one have the best quality of the RAW. You could also try new Vivo x70 pro plus, and Samsung and Xiaomi flagships.
8:10 What? iPhone doesn't have a night portrait mode on wide angle lens? Are you serious? It was introduced with iPhone 12 pro models. It seems that you didn't even turn on a portrait mode on the iPhone 🤦🏻♂️
Learn something about the phones before making a video please...
for few years it will come 🤣🤣
Of all the points they address y'all dwell on that? 😂😂😂
@@adoboreaper3876 a lot of points are biased / wrong and seem to focus on speciffic disadvantages the iphone has in order to make the pixel look better.
@@dorucreo because the pixel has those advantages. so they have to focus on it.
@@truthseeker6804 only if u are biased and/or making an add. I can somewhat understand if intel does this in their ads with apple, but this was supposed to be a comparison, and one cannot focus on ones negatives only and the other positives only, it’s biased sorry
Btw, Moment's case adds Magsafe to the Pixel 6. I thought you might already know since you used a Moment tool, but I guess the Pixel 6 case IS way more recent tho. Heh. 😅
Thanks.
For the waterfall, you can shoot with live view and select the long exposure to burr the waterfall and keep the rest sharp.
I think that's exactly what he did. He probably moved the phone too much.
Waiting for the review canon r6 vs Sony a7IV
I believe you can take portraits with the telephoto lens , just by using it at close range .
Gotta use Live Photo on IPhone to get those effects
Vivo x70 pro plus vs pixel 6 pro comparison pls
This feels like an ad for the Pixel rather than an unbiased comparison.
For them, that's how good it is compared to iPhone I guess.
I could see how it might seem that way because of the way they favored the pixel's wins. But when you look at all the tests they did and the results I can't say I disagree with their results.
What do you feel they did wrong? Are the tests illegitimate? Did they not mention something?
It's fine when it's iPhone. Anytime iPhone doesn't win, it's anything else, the people, orange, pear but Apple.
Great review. I like to see Sony Xperia 1 iii compared with Pixel.
Great video. Love the Honesty!.. Im gettimg a Pixel Now! Lol
Hey quick question. Best spot to get good astro shots in the CT area
Search for a "dark sky map". Many of these will tell you about light pollution as well as forecasted cloud cover, humidity, and other conditions that affect star visibility.
Can you compare with experia pro i
Not sure why you guys weren’t able to take wide angle portraits on the iPhone. The option is certainly there and it’s been a capability for a while now.
Wow. You've covered everything for stills
Moment makes a case for the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro that makes it completely Magsafe compatible
Just don't mention the optical fingerprint sensor faults 👀
The best comparison yet.
I like your video. But Tony, these comparisons just aren't relative for me, and I bet lots of other people too. I sooner switch all my lenes and cameras from my Nikon stable, to some other brand, than switch from iPhone to Android. There is so much else involved in a phone. Still it's fun to see the comparison, hoping of course, that my chosen device prevails!
And seriously, who buys a >$1,000 phone and doesn't use a case?
I have both and have been a long time Pixel/Nexus user. After using the Pixel 5 for the past year and having multiple videos of my son ruined by the phone, I decided to begrudgingly switch to the iPhone 13 Pro. OS preference aside, I can't bring myself to risk losing more of those precious moments because the phone struggles to process. Granted, the processor in the Pixel 6 is way better than the mid-level one found in the Pixel 5, so maybe I'd have better luck.
Great video thanks guys. So, if I want to get into mobile photography, should I get the Google 6 pro or the Sony Xperia Pro-I?
Could you compare the raw modes of both?
Computational raw is insane!
I'd definitely like to see more RAW images. MKBHD showed some RAW pictures from the Pixel 6 Pro and I actually much preferred their output than what Google's doing. I've been a fan of the Pixel look for a number of years but something seems off this time around.
Let me add a vote for a RAW comparison. File sizes specs, too.
I have returned the Pixel 6 Pro. The raw files occasionally suffer from artifacts. Seems to be worse than previous Google phones in my opinion.
@@Quoutub I'm surprised the raw files are so compressed and don't have all the information that the phone is collecting in them.
I have the huawei p 30 pro and i think to replace it with the google pixel 6 pro. Does the pixel have a abetter camera or is it not worth?
Even my OnePlus 8 pro takes better photos
Are we going to get the full review of Sony Xperia pro I ?
Thanks for the compare. Please do more phone camera vs, always nice to hear from people with experience
Great review very detailed but seeing tho the Google has only been out 5 minutes do you think software updates will make it even better in them areas were it's weak? The iPhone is matured has had a lot of update s etc . 📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸📸
Why didn’t use the 4x telephoto and dress back? You will see some really awesome photos
Thank you for a decent review by professional photographers, and not by phone reviewers who do not know how to take photos or judge them correctly.
I am a Professional photographer and have just bought the Pixel 6 Pro and can only compare it to my old Huawei which was brilliant.
The images from this camera/phone are amazing. Not perfect by any means, but considering the sensor size and tiny lenses, very good results can be obtained.
You did not mention the Pixel can take RAW files at the same time as JPG. After trying my best in Photoshop to process the RAW files and comparing them to Pixels own processing to JPG, I cannot better their work. This says a lot about their brilliant software. Normally I can always get better results from RAW files.
I don't touch the 2X zoom because as you correctly state, it is not a true zoom. The 4X zoom is however brilliant and interestingly is also much better used as a portrait lens.
You might want to check out the lock focus that is always on the screen in stills mode. We photographers always lock focus on the subject and re-frame the scene, but the Pixel has a small circle on the screen which you tap on the subject and it will lock on to that point and track it no matter how you frame the scene...brilliant!
Have fun with your video testing. I have already tested mine and am very pleased with the results, in fact they are so good I will be using them in my Travel videos alongside my Professional gear.
the two have their own strong advantages.... it's very interesting video
Just take a live photo in iphone edit sec just add long exposure shot mode it will take stunning images
This is our life now ...
Very helpful, this video. By far the best comparison, in terms of cameras, for the 2 smartphones (but it's no surprise here, because all the other comparisons I found were not made by real photographers). I'm looking fw to the video comparison. Thanks!
Fantastic video! Curious to see your analysis on Pixel 6 Pro vs the latest Sony Xperia with a 1 inch sensor :) Thank you in advance.
Just watched on 27 Feb 2022 and it's a revelation for me and put me off the S22U as well
Imagine if Google enabled the use of the 4x lens for portrait mode (which they should do).
Actually, the Pixel 6 Pro already lets you take periscope photos with artificial background blur. You just need to open the photo with Google Photos and Google Photos is able to apply an artificial background blur effect due to machine learning. This is also the only method to take 1x portrait photos with the Pixel 6 Pro. But the results are unusable in my opinion and I don't think that Google's portrait mode would perform much better as Google's portrait mode is unusable, too.
Alright we just need to wait a year to get the pixel 6 pro as it is sold out everywhere. 😕
Already discounted in the UK on the non pro, down to £441 (£118 off) at Vodaphone and Curry’s retail are price matching. They’ll be plenty around soon enough.
Thanks! Waiting for My Pixel 6 Pro. Should come any day now. Loved the camera pics!
hey, you forgot to mention that "this clips is sponsored by Google Pixel".
Thanks for doing this, love watching you two nerds dig into the details like this!
I can also go into pro settings on my Samsung to change my f stops
I love the pro settings on the SAMSUNG.
Your samsung is one of the few phones that has an aperture that adjusts at all but, you only have two choices. It also automatically changes bases on the subject and available light.
@@morbly No, I can definitely control it manually if I want to, even in the native camera app.
