I used to think that the ideal phone camera reviewer would be someone who would dive deep into the hyper details of the camera performance. Your video changed my mind. It has the perfect balance of demonstrating and simply explaining raw performance, as well as how most actual people will use the camera, which is to post to social media platforms and other casual uses. This video is perfect, thank you!
Pixel phones do portraits best. 11 Pro Max got close though. Each year Pixels do Portraits best, but the competition is closing in. Plus I think Pixels with Google Photos works together. I'll take a shot that looks blurry as it was rushed and my son would be moving. Within seconds it's a great shot. The Pro Max needs to be dead still and subject steady to get close.
Great video! The camera is what keeps me on Pixel, and I’m happy so see someone who actually knows what they’re doing taking a look at it-as opposed to so many tech reviewers who don’t spend the time actually demoing things well.
That AI portrait light is INSANE. I really hope they put the telephoto back for a future phone, even if it means it has 3 lenses like other phones. I never find myself wishing I could "step back" on phones. Usually it's "Oh look at that! I wish I could zoom in more." as the default lens is a wide angle already.
I need ultra wide for interior pics of my decorating! I have the iphone 11 but the low light ultra wide is not good at all. I am interested in the pixel beacuse if this.
Ultrawide is better than telephoto as there is no software replacement for an ultrawide but there is for telephoto. And before you say it no a panorama mode does not achieve the same results as an ultrawide.
@@bradleybfb depth sensors just make the bokeh/autofocus better and more DSLR-like, and macro could be achieved by adding a motor to the ultrawide lens. Imo telephoto for portrait, wide workhorse, ultrawide landscapes and macro would be the best, but knowing google there's no way they'll do it...
Very good complete review. But honestly I felt like all of the original photos looked way better than the edited ones. I don't know why people are so obsessed with editing everything. Keep it natural.
The edited photos looked over sharpened but besides that they look way better. The moody tones and colors are more pleasing to the eye even if not realistic.
Thank you! It’s just personal preference :) I really love the editing process of my photography I find it fun playing around with colours and giving different looks to my photos. I’m not ashamed of my SOOC shots though, I pretty much always include them in my videos too!
@@juliatrotti yes it definitely is personal preference. And trust me I'm not hating on anybody who edits. It is definitely fun. I'm just one of the people who loves natural photos.
It looks like you are the first one to describe about astrophotography on Google Pixel 5. If I'm wrong then either way, thank you so much for the quick and detailed review. Your work is truly appreciated! Was that second picture of the stars edited by the way or did you just take it directly? And is the settings as same as Pixel 4 to get these kinds of pics?
Excellent camera review Julia! Loved the one for the Pixel 4 last year. Thank you for showing us the camera capabilities on the 5! Looks like a winner.
Wow! Can you please get me a pixel 5 as an early birthday gift. This year has been really crazy. Typing this out here in case the universe wants to make me smile.
She should ALSO review iphones, cause her camera reviews are different (in a good way) from other youtubers. But maybe she is sponsored so... She couldn't. But would be great
Aw thank you! I'm hoping to do more phone camera reviews in the future, I will be having an iPhone 12 pro max review this year and I'll see what other Android phones I can get my hands on too :) And just in response to the comment below, the phone was a gift from Google but they didn't ask me to make this video/didn't ask me to say anything/check over anything I post about it/etc, so it's not sponsored. All opinions are my own!
This video made me an instant subscriber. Very well explanation of a detail in a photo and what you can do with it. Google Pixel photos always blow me away.
I don't understand why that is so hard to? We all use either whatsapp or facebook message anyway 🤷🏽♀ I've came out of it and i didn't miss anything and from a solid iPhone fan, trust me, android is better! Once you used google assistance you'll never like siri ever again! 😳 and google facilities are much better such as google storage/cloud, google map, google calendar.... So on is just a lot smarter and connects to each other better than human do! Because of google tools i could never go back to apple. It is just wayyyyy smarter! 😳 and I'm not even using google pixel. All adriods uses google's tools so... 🤷🏽♀ but I've cheated by installed google pixel's api onto the android device of my choice. And google pixel's camera honestly destroyed every single phone camera out there and i think even DSLR to certain extens. I hope that helps 🤷🏽♀
Did you see the iPhone event yesterday? The Pro Max is considerably better than this. LiDAR, 65mm telephoto lens, 10 bit Dolby Vision HDR video and Apple Pro RAW is going to be awesome too. iPhone 12 has better hardware and software.
I was waiting for the review thanks..... And your cute presentation blows the mind.... It seems i was present beside you the moment you capturing pictures so lively
Super review , the last phone I had was a Sony Xperia I have just upgraded to the Pixel 5 my only criteria is that the camera is excellent with plenty of extra features ... The Astrophotography mode is" out of this world ".
Thank you for sharing! I think google did a great job with the camera, considering the price point. I myself have the pixel 4a and I'm very happy with it. I don't take many pictures on it but the camera is a huge improvement from my pixel 3a. That picture of the sky, is so amazing!
It amazes me on how a very tiny camera/lens can take such great and amazing photos. Yet 1 professional camera body/lens is huge, and while superior the gap is becoming less and less noticable especially on Social Media.
I was curious about Astrophotography on Pixel 5 at first since Google has changed its lens from a tele to be a wide one. Your video explains me everything! Thanks, Julia! P.s. I'd love to know about the difference of a photo quality on astrophotography mode between 4XL and 5. Could you please tell me that? Thanks!
I have to say on the face retouching, I prefer the "NO RETOUCHING" image myself. It just looks more natural, however if I had to chose one of the other images, I'd go with "SUBTLE." "SMOOTH" makes your skin look like a percaline china doll. Great video!
Loved the camera impressions vlog of the pixel 5. Very thorough and great to hear this from someone who’s actual Camera experience. I currently own the iPhone 11 pro Max which in itself has a great camera. However tho Astro photography shots were stunning 😍 Love IPhone and am interested in the 12 pro Max coming out shortly and will be interesting if it can get close to those shots.
Great video thank you! I’m switching from iPhone 12 Pro Max to Google Pixel 6 Plus this year, very excited as my Pixel 4 camera was better than this iPhones camera. X
Great review, probably one of the best I have seen in terms of hands on. Only feedback would be to use term "Zoom" rather than telephoto as it doesn't have telephoto lens
Aaaaand sold! Best reliable review. Thanks for exploring all Pixel Cam features. I really miss telephoto Lens from Pixel 4XL.🤧 Donno why people slammed Google about that.😏
Great vid. I have Gcam 7.4 on my pocophone F1 and pictures are all amazing especially night astrophotography. My friends can't believe I took the shot using a phone. I downloaded your app by the way and I can say it is pretty nice.👌👌👌

Ahh thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
The last two astrophotography shots made my jaw drop. If the iphone 12 can't match that I'm getting the pixel.

I'll take a shot that looks blurry as it was rushed and my son would be moving. Within seconds it's a great shot. The Pro Max needs to be dead still and subject steady to get close.
I have a Pixel (personal) and iPhone 11 Pro Max (work). The iPhone can’t keep up with the Pixel’s astrophotography and night sight shots.
I know me too, like I said in the video I still can’t believe I can take photos like that on a PHONE 😂 so good!
nice thought !! I will be waiting the review for iPhone 12 photo and decide later : D
iPhone much better for video, but photo capabilities about the same.
The most reliable pixel 5 review I've ever watched 😍
Thank you!!

Three lenses are the perfect number. No need for useless macro or dept sensors.

I agree the edited photos look like iphone photos, too warm, but that's how people like their portraits on Instagram.
@@dedelabinouze5110 yeah it's so weird. Everybody wants everything to be fake these days. Mind-blowing.

Omg this is one of the best camera test I've ever seen ! You just use all the tools and show us , I really like it , say hello since Colombia !

we love your smartphone PORTRAIT reviews.. keep reviewing more phones!
Wow! These are amazing Julia!!
Thanks so much Mitch! Can't wait to see your shoot soon :D

Gotta love those southern hemisphere dark skies I'm jealous. Great review Julia
Thank you! We did go on a mini road trip to find the darkest sky but it was worth it :)
You the best especially representing Android. It’s always about iPhone

The Best Camera Reviewer❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌
This has given me so many ideas of what to take photos of and the features I need to use more ❤
Thank you!! I can’t wait to see all your photos with it 😊
That very last shot on astrophotography was insane 😳
julia's camera reviews are the BEST!
wow @ at that Milky Way shot. How would you say the astrophotography stacks up against the Pixel 4's capabilities?
I've been waiting for your review since the pixel was released.
Worth every second 😌
I love the way you explain, your voice is very calming.
This video made me an instant subscriber. Very well explanation of a detail in a photo and what you can do with it. Google Pixel photos always blow me away.
I'll be taking up photography with this phone when I get it because of this video. This was wonderfully done! Thank you!
Finally a good camera test!!! Thank you!!
Amazing Julia! So cool seeing what you can do with a phone camera
Thanks TK, I appreciate it!
I really love how you are able to do your style in any camera whether mobile phone or dslr. 😍
Thank you!! 😊
You make the best Pixel camera review videos! Keep it up!
Thank you so much 😊
this is an awesome video! love how in depth you were. can't wait to get my Pixel 5 and try and astrophotography!!
Thank you so much!
Best Google Pixel 5 review so far !
This video was incredible Julia! Love your work ❤️🔥
Wow what a great review! The astrophotography feature really makes so so excited! Such beautiful photos~
Digital Film Application Was Truly Mind blowing App. Appreciate Your Work
Exactly what I'm looking for in a camera review. Can't wait to get my pixel 5. 😊😊
Thank you 😊
@@juliatrotti no thank you 🥰
Fantastic overview! I like the portrait lighting feature on pixels in google photos.. its a nice way to adjust the light source direction
I'm impressed with how Google managed to make this phone simple and complete!
Subscribed last year because of the extremely detailed and entertaining pixel 4 camera review.. That aside, this is a really great channel.
Thank you so much! Hopefully I can review more phone cameras soon :)
10:28 "We are going to try the potrait mode in night sight" You forgot to include it in the video 🥺
@Julián Méndez I still would've liked night portrait shots of a person tho... 🥺❤
If I weren’t so deep into the Apple ecosystem... honestly, if iMessage came to android, I could easily make the switch. Great review!
The Google is perfect 💕

@@KeepLearing everything is new
Only person I trust when it comes to Camera review. Please do a review for 12 Pro max if they provided you one.
I bought Pixel 4 after seeing your video. I'm considering myself if i should also see this one lol
I was waiting for the review thanks..... And your cute presentation blows the mind.... It seems i was present beside you the moment you capturing pictures so lively
That astrophotography! Amazing.Great video.
Thanks a lot!
The only channel I would recommend for a Camera review
Wow!!! She's the most gorgeous tech reviewer on youtube I've ever seen 😘😘😘
Super review , the last phone I had was a Sony Xperia I have just upgraded to the Pixel 5 my only criteria is that the camera is excellent with plenty of extra features ... The Astrophotography mode is" out of this world ".
Thank you for this video! Loving the Pixel 4 and am excited to get the 5
Awesome review really helpful . Thanks a lot
Thank you for sharing! I think google did a great job with the camera, considering the price point. I myself have the pixel 4a and I'm very happy with it. I don't take many pictures on it but the camera is a huge improvement from my pixel 3a. That picture of the sky, is so amazing!
Forget about pixel 5,she is beautiful 😍
It amazes me on how a very tiny camera/lens can take such great and amazing photos. Yet 1 professional camera body/lens is huge, and while superior the gap is becoming less and less noticable especially on Social Media.
I've changed my google assistant to aussie
Ahahaha love it!
Finally, i found a real review about the pixel camera 5. thank you so much
OMG A7Siii is fantastic!!
Great video Julia! Your photos came out so good!
Thanks so much! 😊
Great work! Love seeing your work with pixels each year. Very inspiring!
I was curious about Astrophotography on Pixel 5 at first since Google has changed its lens from a tele to be a wide one. Your video explains me everything! Thanks, Julia!
P.s. I'd love to know about the difference of a photo quality on astrophotography mode between 4XL and 5. Could you please tell me that? Thanks!
It's the first time I see a video from you, and you are incredible, nice video 👍🏽🙌🏽
This video made me even more impatient on getting my hands on the Pixel 5 I pre-ordered the next day it was announced
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you liked my review :D And I hope the phone comes soon so you can play around with it!!
i am a pixel fan....always wait for ur pixel vidoes.... love from Bangladesh
Camera review is all I want
It's 2023 and you sold me on this pixel 5!!
Just love this "only camera review" 👍👍
Nice, not the usual review, I just subscribed. Looking forward for more of your future posts
Really great review! A comparison of the Pixel 4 and 5 camera would also be interesting! :)
Thank you and yes it would be ;) I may be working on one already..
A wonderful review like no other. A review but not a typical review
You shot an amazing review. Great job. Thank you for being so so so good at what you do 🙏
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Heart Warming review absolutely loved it ❤️❤️

Yeah I agree, I prefer it off personally as well or if I’m having a bad skin day I think subtle is enough :)
I am waiting for this video , remember you didn't stop your tear after watching the astrophotography of pixel 4 .
Owww that moment.
Haha it was so windy last year!! Much better conditions for astro this year 😄 thank you for your support!
What would you say is the major improvement with daylight shots, comparing the pixel 4 and pixel 5?
What a refreshingly nice and unique review was awesome and Pixel devices are still impressive. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful photos and great review!

Which one is better pixel 5 or pixel 4 xl ? In terms of camera
This is video im searching for!!! At lastttt!!!! Thank youuu
Yay I’m glad you liked it!
You are the best phone Camera {Pixel Pone} reviewer !!
I like that this is a photographer-view review of the camera. :]

Great review, probably one of the best I have seen in terms of hands on. Only feedback would be to use term "Zoom" rather than telephoto as it doesn't have telephoto lens
Thank you!
Aaaaand sold!
Best reliable review.
Thanks for exploring all Pixel Cam features.
I really miss telephoto Lens from Pixel 4XL.🤧
Donno why people slammed Google about that.😏
Thats an amazing review i have ever watched on a mobile camera. Well done Julia.
I’ve only just discovered your channel but oh my god! So informative! What type of phone attachment do you use on your tripod?
great video, and great focus about the incredible google camera!! well done!
Julia, love your camera review since I own all Pixel models except the "a" models. What tripod do you recommend to use with a Pixel or an iPhone.
0:25 am also excited 🔥🔥
Very useful and true-to-heart thoughts on this phone:) keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!

Thank you so much!
This is what a camera review should be like.
Bravo Julia,
Une vidéo instructive, pertinente et très agréable à regarder.
Does the wide angle camera makes taking panorama photo easier? Like less spin/photos for 360 photo?
can you compare the pixel 5 to the iPhone 12 when it comes out please
