Tech in America is very interesting. Remember when Samsung use to have contrasty pics and everyone hated it. Now everyone loved it in iPhone. Also no one was really talking about micro mode that much, but now now I hear it a lot more. Just very interesting
Yep. Also the Oneplus 9 Pro has way better portrait video than the Iphone 13, and it released early this year. No one talked about that feature. Or 4k120fps, which is really awesome. But wait until the Iphone has 4k120, it's a gamebreaker then.
Yes It's very funny when the iPhone did not have a macro mode, they proved that this was an unnecessary function, when there was no contrast in the photo, they proved that it was better to be more realistic, and then process it as you like. I think iphone owners have a lot of shoes as they like to change shoes. :D
The only thing that they improved is skin tone, video is better due to better hardware but no much effort ... HDR is too aggressive and the bokeh is so fake. They put some gimmicky features.. OK... Ultrawide isn't that good. So next year everything will be better. Like what Apple does. I hope more camera updates come for pixel 6 in the near future.
I totally agree! Skin tone on Pixel looks more natural and the depth of the face is much nicer too than iPhone, even before pixel 6. iPhone makes the face look orange and flat quite often... Pixel is truly the winner of taking people pictures!
@@vcfxvcbcb iphone's "cinematic mode" is gimmick & garbage. bokeh is also fake af in iphone. pixel is way better. not to mention every of iphone photo is showing fake skin color. no iphone will ever come close to pixel in terms of photo quality
@@vcfxvcbcb pixel have digital zoom that's why that lost pixels but if we take on 1.5x zoom not huge pixels damage and next thing pixel can go very close in potrait mode and now one more thing old pixel was only take human object potrait now pixel can take any object photo they increase some more feature I phone Is always best but now after 2 year pixel is improving again
The Pixel definitely has a long ways to go for its videos; however, when it comes to color balance for pictures, the iPhone gives very saturated vibrant pictures which are ready to be uploaded, while the Pixel gives you the natural look so that you have more options for editing. Both cameras look beautiful, but as a photographer on the go, the Pixels ability to give more room for editing makes it a win for me
You are right with your opinion on the Pixel. But the problem is: nobody wants to edit his photos on a smartphone for hours before you are able to upload. Its really exhausting... it has to be one snap and ready to upload like the iphone in this example...
Vibrancy of colors shouldn't be the reason as you can easily fix this with filters or manual color correction. Personally I think the Pixel is mostly better for daily use and will just get even better with future software updates. It is also way better in terms of value per money
@@NarendraMnr *"I just want them to look how they actually look."* - How they "actually look" to who? To you? How colours (or anything for that matter) "actually look" to you and how they "actually look" to someone else is not the same. There is no universal human perception of colour for cameras to replicate which would satisfy this demand for everyone equally - there's no "one size fits all" solution. Ignoring that entirely, the camera can only interpolate the colours in a scene, it's the display that you view them on which determines how those colours are actually rendered when viewing the images 🤦🏼♂️ lol
@@KosmicJelly Bruh. "How they actually look" might be different for each person. But each person can tell when they take a shot, whether it looks close to how they saw it or not. Agree with your 2nd point as well, it is the also the display that you view them on which determines the colors as well. So, What's your point here?
Got my pixel 6 pro today an I can say it's a big step from the pixel 4xl Google is heading the right direction great video both phones does a great job but the software on the pixel to me is better.
the 50 MP sensor takes 12 MP photos. That is why it tis hard to see a difference between the 2. the extra pixels are used to increase definition and remove noise
@@KosmicJelly well, by combining the information from 4 adjacent pixels in low light conditions the result is a picture with less resolution, but less noise. Where there is more light, the same technique achieves a less blurred image, so that the perceived definition is higher. Sure, they're just tricks and I'd rather have the full 50mp image(Samsung actually said it could even provide a 100mp picture with it), but that's how Google decided to use it... Or at least that's how I understood it, but I'm open to corrections. A piece of advice: when you comment, try to add new information instead of just saying "you're wrong". It is a good way to have civilized conversations on UA-cam.
@@StevenHuxley I was just curious what you meant by "definition", I understand what pixel binning is. It could effectively simulate a 100MP sensor because there's 2 photodiodes per pixel for the AF phase detection, but I'd have to question the returns on image quality that doing so could realistically have to offer. There's no need to correct anything you said really, as I mentioned above that I was primarily just trying to understand your comment correctly, not correct you - the moot point about "removing" noise had more to do with your chosen semantics than with anything relevant to photography, hence why I didn't bother getting into it beyond a mere mention. It's an incorrect statement in the same way that saying: "ISO controls the sensor sensitivity" is an incorrect statement - technically incorrect, but not really worth correcting in most cases. But nowhere did I say "you're wrong".
@@KosmicJelly my apologies then. It seems like the bias was mine all along. I agree that the advantage would be marginal at best, but on the other hand I still wish we had the option of capturing such an image. With more powerful desktop processing power we could get a little more detail than what is available to us now. It's a shame that Google built such a great camera phone, but decided to opt for a "magic box" approach to taking pictures with it.
Could you do more comparisons under different circumstances with the real tone feature? The impression you got specifically for the image you showed for that, I got the reverse impression on some of the other photos, with your skin ending up brighter and less contrasty on the iphone for example. Since Google made such a big deal about it, I'd be curious to hear your opinion on just how much of an improvement it is and if its really meaningful enough to make a big deal about.
Aww Man I’ve been watching you since I started doing UA-cam videos. And I’m going into my 12TH Year! So about 13 Years for you 😂 Keep up the Awesome work!
Hmm. Good review - thanks - but some inconsistencies. 3:06 incorrect captions - says night mode and night sight when the commentary says it's just the main camera with no night modes engaged then subsequently switches to photos with the modes engaged? Later (4:12) says that "you can use the Pixel's telephoto lens" for a Macro shot but then pointlessly moves in with the main camera do demonstrate an unfocused 'no macro mode' image and then doesn't show the tele lens? On the ultrawide photo of the colorful houses you didn't actually say which was the closest to the *actual scene* in front of you - just that the Puerto Rico vibe was bright and you liked the iPhone "adding a little more punchiness" to the pictures.
No matter how reviewers try to mask photographic styles on iphone 13, it's nothing other than filters. After having encountered it first hand.....they are juz filters and every photography phone has that. What's so new abt the iphone 13 that previous and current smartphones haven't achieved before them, except ofcourse their chip
Funny how nobody cared about macro shots when other OEMs were putting a dedicated macro camera on their phones and now that iPhone copied Samsung with it on the ultra wide you tubers seen to like that feature now. Lol
This is a camera comparison and I mention the features of the phone and actually, a lot of us mentioned how bad the macro cameras were on other OEMs besides a couple of exceptions. And yes, Apple has added it later, but it's one of the best.
@@SoldierKnowsBest may not apply to you homie but others said it was unwanted, wasted space and OEMs just put it there just to say they have 3 or more cameras. 🤷🏽 Nothing against your review at all
I know that having more resolution is great for printing but most people don't print anything and only share images on social media, where resolution isn't that important.
I think Google hasn't really tapped on the potential of the new Pixel 6 hardware. I think the camera software is optimized for the previous Pixel sensors and their limitations with Qualcomms chipsets. I expect more improvements in pictures and video from Google.
Hey Soldier Knows Best, Next time take a Portrait photo using the 4x the main lens on the pixel is a 23mm a 23mm is not used for taking photos of people unless you have weird distortions. also as the lens will be in 4x it will make real len based bokeh and not fake shit. also turn down the default Blur setting to 50% I think you will be surprised with the results
The real question is whether or not that major software update on October 28th will make the pictures and videos better on the Pixel. This is reported to be a major update, which might allow the more megapixels on the Pixel to balance better with their image processing. This could really make the difference???
Anyone hear anything about the pixel 7 yet? As an iphone user I was really thinking about permanently switching to pixel 6. The hype was real but now I feel disappointed. While trying out the phone I realized it was missing key features such as a face unlock, facetime, longer term OS support, good video modes and a notch. Even worse is the fact that my wife left me after she saw the green bubbles. Now I'm realizing that my apple watch series 7 and airpods 3 don't even work properly with this phone. Google what are you doing?? You guys had the chance to hit it big with this phone. You could've shown courage and removed the lightning port from the phone, or even increased the price to 1499 but now Apple is gonna beat you to the punch. This phone really feels like an "s" series phone. Nothing revolutionary. Google should take some more cues from Apple. The iphone 12 to iphone 13? That was incredibly game changing, I almost pissed myself from excitement when Apple showed off the cinematic mode. I was crying while they showed off ceramic shield, knowing that I could finally break the android display models at best buy without breaking my own phone. I achieved orgasm when I realized the colors on the iPhone 13 screen weren't due to the LSD I took before the event started. Sitting alone in my home (the kids left with my wife) I realize that Apple really won this time. Google next time you can do better than this.
Yooo I love to see you’re in my beautiful island PR!!! Great video man I enjoyed it. Would be nice to see names for the locations you got some cool shots.
It was the normal setting and yea, I made the mistake a month ago of taking a bunch of pics and having one of the photographic styles on, so I double-check now 😉
@@SoldierKnowsBest thanks for verifying! I will have to test with my 13 Pro Max in more low light settings. Thanks for the comparison! I don’t feel as compelled to get the Pixel 6 Pro after this. Its really good but not worth replacing my Note 20 Ultra for it.
I miss when Soldier Knows Best would get 500K to over 1M views from a decade ago. Now he barely cracks 5K. What happened, man? SKB was my guy before Flossy Carter.
@@oc3144 Not possible. The ultra wide lens on the the iPhone just has a very short minimum focus distance, which is needed to be able to take macro shots. This is a hardware limitation that can’t be changed with a software upgrade.
8:30 why does it look like the pixel 6 video footage is hitching or stuttering as you're panning? Is this how it really is or just the recording for the side by side comparison? I just ordered my Pixel 6 Pro, coming from iPhone 12 and that's massively concerning if video recordings have that stuttering while panning.
@@snaztastickobe nope,You can't. There's a reason why iPhone 13,witch improved dynamic range of 12,can't go up to pixel 6 pro level or s21 level. The sensor it's just too small . Can't get everything with processing. Otherwise Google could have sticked to the same old sensor.
Both are very good. Only giving the iPhone a slight edge since the photos from the pixel isn't miles better and the iPhone still has the better video. Especially, at low light and night.
In fairness the iPhone13 pro does take amazing pictures. But I'm more of a Android fanboy. So I'm gonna have to go with that pixel 6 pro all day. Now Marcus who are you enjoying the beautiful scenery of Puerto Rico with ? I'm being extra nosey 😂 I know you are having amazing time in Puerto Rico.. 🇵🇷
I actually think the video at 12:50 looks better from the Pixel. It looks sharper and the colors are more vibrant. The iPhone looks a bit washed out, like there is a fog in the air or something.
Personally speaking they're both good . The pixel seems to have improved it's video capturing capabilities. The pixel is a lot cheaper too. I own a pixel 6, one criticism I have is about screen nit brightness, I find the screen a bit full. As for the photos they're not significantly better than the photos taken on my pixel 4a, I've seen no marked improvement, albeit white balance is better 🙂
Bro pixel phones have a tendency to upgrade over time.. As an initial user some of them could be disappointed. But after time,,, pixels become more handy, stable and charismatic.. That's why It's google's algorithm brah
San Juan, El morro & old San Juan beautiful areas to use these cameras. Pics on both these devices are great. Enjoy those coconuts, it'll keep you hydrated under that heat.
I was planning to switch back to iphone after 9 years of android, but now I don't know 😭, like with that magic eraser, I need that, but also that video camera on the iphone 😩but also......aaaaahhhhh help
Pixel 5a owner here. Yes, iPhone has clearly knocked it out of the park with their camera. But that doesn't make the Pixel camera bad by any stretch. I prefer how photos look on an iPhone. Always have. Prefer warmer tones. But I use a Pixel because a Pixel phone simply does things an iPhone can't, period.
Iphone has a bit of camera feel look, pixel more digital and sharp. For me iphone is clear choice, especially depth of atmospheric perspective looks nice there.
@@bdziver12 a little oversaturation can be easily fixed, for proper atmospheric perspective You would need more time. Despite pixel shots over sharpen pictures which looks very unnatural, although apparently if You shoot in raw there is no issue there (it's post processing of jpg in pixel).
I agree I prefer the photos of the pixel and the video on iphone. Iphone photos a lot of times shows high color saturation (like tvs on demo) but I know pixel's muted color is more representative of reality. But again down to personal taste. I am waiting for my pixel 6pro, because I rarely shoot any video.
Maaan how am I not a subscriber great job. Subscribed. Day time photos shadows crushed on iPhones and lifted shadows on pixel but I think shadows are lifted bit too much. My ideal photo taste will be in between these interns of exposure. I don’t like when iPhone wasn’t to lean towards yellowish and again that sharpening phone look by the pixel I don’t like. iPhone is my choice
I think the pixel mutes the red color in everything so that they can nail the black skin better? I have no other reason on my the reds look so orange on the pixel shots
Yo that selfie portrait on the pixel 6 had you looking RIGHT!!! 🤎💪🏽 yes sir. But either way both are good. I think your preference will sway to whatever ecosystem you are in. Got apple stuff stick with apple 🤷🏽 I'm android and Samsung is good but I don't like the UI... tho I heard it's getting an upgrade 👀 since HTC and LG are gone, I stick to pixels 😁
You always say " i like this cam photo ".is it what you like or is it what comes close to real? I am a bit confused.because i am looking for not just bright or dark photos,i am looking for a phone that shoots close to real world.
iPhone looks way waaay better to me, and the fact you can shoot on prores to have better control on post it’s a clear win. But whatever, you are the expert.
Not trying to be bias I like the pixel I do but I think the iPhone is the most well rounded for sure pics videos I prefer iPhone. Now that magic eraser is dope I wish the iPhones had something like that it’s really handy
Pixel 6 main camera is very impressive. Best phone camera I've used. Only going to get better when Google works on unleashing the full potential of the 50 megapixels.

Great review. The Pixel looks good to me.
Even though it seems like every other reviewer agrees the pixel is better when it comes to pictures you can't go wrong choosing either phone.
Absolutely correct. Outside of me doing camera comparisons, 90% of the time, I'm perfectly happy with most smartphone cameras.
We're are at the point where it comes down to overly nitpicking differences

If you paid attention to the Night photo comparison, you can see a monster on the left side of the photo. Is it photoshop? (3:58)
Really wish the pixel had the macro mode. It's something I've been wanting on phone cameras for a while.
Use the telephoto .....
Might be able to get it through w software update?
@@oc3144 coming from pixel maybe yes but I don't think they take much importance to macro
@@oc3144 Not possible. The ultra wide lens on the the iPhone just has a very short minimum focus distance, which is needed to be able to take macro shots. This is a hardware limitation that can’t be changed with a software upgrade.
need videos next to the portrait to see what real tone adjusts
You are in PR 🇵🇷, welcome, good review, I saw that the pixel is a tremendous machine ✌️
Same bro. I also like to carry both because I like the pixel photos and iphone video is just unmatched.
Interesting how they handle colors differently. The reds and blue from the ocean specifically
thank you for visiting my island
I wish you you mentioned earlier which photos where more color accurate , as you did that with the video part .
Cheers
In your nexr video can you compare Vivo X90 Pro plus with an iOS 14 Pro Max and a Pixel 7 Pro?
The iPhone selfie camera also has the option to take an ultrawide picture
Not for portrait mode, but it does have that for regular selfies. I should've mentioned that 👍🏽
@@SoldierKnowsBest Gotcha. Thanks for the reply Sir
8:30 why does it look like the pixel 6 video footage is hitching or stuttering as you're panning? Is this how it really is or just the recording for the side by side comparison? I just ordered my Pixel 6 Pro, coming from iPhone 12 and that's massively concerning if video recordings have that stuttering while panning.
beautiful thing about pixel's camera " issues "
they can be patched.
Just like iphones, nice excuse lol
@@snaztastickobe you can't get more dynamic range just out of nowhere 🥶
@@angelomarzocchi4202 yes you can, its all processing bud. you clueless or smt?
@@snaztastickobe nope,You can't. There's a reason why iPhone 13,witch improved dynamic range of 12,can't go up to pixel 6 pro level or s21 level. The sensor it's just too small . Can't get everything with processing. Otherwise Google could have sticked to the same old sensor.
@@angelomarzocchi4202 yet google said it had to most upgrades physically but looks almost the same as pixel 5, what’s worse? Lmao
Your skin color on the front camera Pixel looks fantastic. But they really cranked up the HDR way too much on the photos on the 6 Pro.
Preserving shadows and lifting shadows is more to do with contrast and style rather than Dynamic range.
Good review.
you have a go 2, nice!
Both are very good. Only giving the iPhone a slight edge since the photos from the pixel isn't miles better and the iPhone still has the better video. Especially, at low light and night.
Any night video recordings? Thanks !
Also didn't Google say they have a big upgrade on the 27th?
The update has already being applied to the reviewers pixels that were sent out. The update is for consumer phones.
@@madtiger7955 are you sure? I saw several reviews also mentioning the update is coming.
Welcome to PR.
Lol get rid of them haters with magic eraser 🤣
Great vid. Well versed ... Simply Awesome. Only downfall ... I don't think you can take a bad photo given where your shooting from
My beloved island 🏝 ❤ Hope you had a good time and that my people treated you nicely as well. Haven't been down there in 5 years!
Top notch review
In fairness the iPhone13 pro does take amazing pictures. But I'm more of a Android fanboy. So I'm gonna have to go with that pixel 6 pro all day. Now Marcus who are you enjoying the beautiful scenery of Puerto Rico with ? I'm being extra nosey 😂 I know you are having amazing time in Puerto Rico.. 🇵🇷
Is it possible to enable the Macro mode through an update or does it require the hardware to support it?
You have a good sense of Humour brother!😅
I actually think the video at 12:50 looks better from the Pixel. It looks sharper and the colors are more vibrant. The iPhone looks a bit washed out, like there is a fog in the air or something.
Facts! The Pixel looked way better here.
good surf waves!) whare are you from?
Personally speaking they're both good . The pixel seems to have improved it's video capturing capabilities. The pixel is a lot cheaper too. I own a pixel 6, one criticism I have is about screen nit brightness, I find the screen a bit full. As for the photos they're not significantly better than the photos taken on my pixel 4a, I've seen no marked improvement, albeit white balance is better 🙂
Bro pixel phones have a tendency to upgrade over time.. As an initial user some of them could be disappointed. But after time,,, pixels become more handy, stable and charismatic..
That's why It's google's algorithm brah
San Juan, El morro & old San Juan beautiful areas to use these cameras. Pics on both these devices are great. Enjoy those coconuts, it'll keep you hydrated under that heat.
First time here and I'll definitely be coming back. Nice scenery everywhere.
@@SoldierKnowsBest yes sir! Enjoy!!
@@SoldierKnowsBest: Glad you were here. Watching this good video comparison in Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
Damn, that sand really showed a difference.
But the dynamic range and colors look so much better on the pixel!
@@oc3144 not with video
@@Hasmatix did I say video?
@@oc3144 you didnt say photo either so stfu
@@oc3144 the sand demo was a video
Watching this with both phokes 😊
I was planning to switch back to iphone after 9 years of android, but now I don't know 😭, like with that magic eraser, I need that, but also that video camera on the iphone 😩but also......aaaaahhhhh help
Pixel 5a owner here. Yes, iPhone has clearly knocked it out of the park with their camera. But that doesn't make the Pixel camera bad by any stretch. I prefer how photos look on an iPhone. Always have. Prefer warmer tones. But I use a Pixel because a Pixel phone simply does things an iPhone can't, period.
Iphone has a bit of camera feel look, pixel more digital and sharp. For me iphone is clear choice, especially depth of atmospheric perspective looks nice there.
so you prefer oversaturated, unnatural looking pics??
The Pixel 6 Pro did better with the colors. His skin color came out natural as it is.
@@bdziver12 a little oversaturation can be easily fixed, for proper atmospheric perspective You would need more time. Despite pixel shots over sharpen pictures which looks very unnatural, although apparently if You shoot in raw there is no issue there (it's post processing of jpg in pixel).
I got the Dark (K)night reference..
I agree I prefer the photos of the pixel and the video on iphone. Iphone photos a lot of times shows high color saturation (like tvs on demo) but I know pixel's muted color is more representative of reality.
But again down to personal taste. I am waiting for my pixel 6pro, because I rarely shoot any video.
Aye bro that chocolate skin tone looks superb on the xl!#nohomo
🤔🤔🤔 So portrait mode on tha Pixel is tha macro camera?
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 best comparison
Does Google look through your photos like Apple does?
Maaan how am I not a subscriber great job. Subscribed. Day time photos shadows crushed on iPhones and lifted shadows on pixel but I think shadows are lifted bit too much. My ideal photo taste will be in between these interns of exposure. I don’t like when iPhone wasn’t to lean towards yellowish and again that sharpening phone look by the pixel I don’t like. iPhone is my choice
Which phone has natural colors in photos?
Pixel for photo
Iphone for video
I think the pixel mutes the red color in everything so that they can nail the black skin better? I have no other reason on my the reds look so orange on the pixel shots
5:29 Are joking?! Look at the head on the iphone... XD
On the pixel 6p it does pixel binding so you won't ever use the full 50 mp you'll only be using 12.5mp photos .
Yo that selfie portrait on the pixel 6 had you looking RIGHT!!! 🤎💪🏽 yes sir. But either way both are good. I think your preference will sway to whatever ecosystem you are in. Got apple stuff stick with apple 🤷🏽 I'm android and Samsung is good but I don't like the UI... tho I heard it's getting an upgrade 👀 since HTC and LG are gone, I stick to pixels 😁
You always say " i like this cam photo ".is it what you like or is it what comes close to real? I am a bit confused.because i am looking for not just bright or dark photos,i am looking for a phone that shoots close to real world.
Crazy that the iPhone 11 Pro Max from 2019 on DXOMARK is still better than almost every android phone.
iPhone looks way waaay better to me, and the fact you can shoot on prores to have better control on post it’s a clear win. But whatever, you are the expert.
the way the Pixel 6 brightens up everything with no shadow contrast make the pictures look flat to me. Prefer iPhone pics by a long shot personally.
Thanks
Not trying to be bias I like the pixel I do but I think the iPhone is the most well rounded for sure pics videos I prefer iPhone. Now that magic eraser is dope I wish the iPhones had something like that it’s really handy
Pixel 6 main camera is very impressive. Best phone camera I've used. Only going to get better when Google works on unleashing the full potential of the 50 megapixels.
I have same phone two days and i think its ugly ,how u make photos?
