I had a Galaxy S21 for a year and a half and just upgraded to the Ultra about a month ago. WOW! What a phone! The camera is AMAZING. The video is clean, clear and crisp. Even in low light.
Even after so much time has passed s21 is still killing them ...the new ones ...wait for s22 it will overkill them😂...it has note features too.....new chip
The 21 ultra wins for me. I wanted the pixel but the photos are far to flat. They loose all contrast what so ever. The s21 ultra has that perfect image in my own opinion
I am tempted to try a Pixel 6 Pro due to its Pixel exclusive software features, but screen quality and camera zoom reign as my most important deciding factors. I'll be waiting for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
The screen on the pixel is absolutely stunning tbh. The camera system def needs more updates but they're pushing them often. I recently got the pro and in 2 days had 4 software updates 😅 they're doing what they can to fix a lot of the issues pointed out by the consumers. But the screen is def on par with the Samsungs I gotta say. 1440p @ 120hz is beautiful
@@omenekennedy4746 I get it. But a phone is more than an accessory or communication tool for me. I'm legally blind, and I use the zoom cameras on Samsung's Ultra phones to see things that I'm unable to otherwise.
It's personal preference. Some might actually like natural looking pics like myself. I want my still memories to look exactly how I was when I took the picture not looking orange or yellow
The best part about having all the upgraded hardware installed into the hands of users is that the software updates can keep flowing in and adjusting the newest hardware to be better and better. How often Google pays attention to this and releases updates will tell how great a phone the Pixel 6 will become
Google did a massive upgrade to the hardware but I think they still haven't optimized the software for it. I think their camera software is still working on the previous Pixel camera modules which were alot smaller which is why there are inconsistencies in some shots. The good thing Google is a software company first....and with monthly updates and Feature Drops, the camera will get better.
I was a little over-excited about the pixel after a couple of video reviews. But after this, I can have a more neutral opinion about them all because now I not only the pros but also the cons of each one of them. This video approaches various aspects of the phones with a very unbiased opinion. This really helped. Amazing content!!
Great review ! I went from Pixel 4A (which I really like) to 6Pro......love the 4x zoom, which even looks amazing as 10x. But, I agree with your findings regarding consistency and also (still) prefer the selfie pictures on the iPhone. With case the 6Pro is really quite large and I'm still debating whether or not to keep it. I wish they would have made a 6" or 6.2" version.
My Note 9 battery just went south. Ordered the Pixel Pro. Over $1000 sticker price is quite a lot. With a trade in got over $300 off. It'll do for a while at that price.
I just wanna say, for somebody that has owned one of these phones, has the other, and has owned many other Galaxies, iPhone's, and Pixel's in the past: lighting conditions can completely change how a phone handles the overall processing, and there's no real camera comparison that can accurately capture all the nuances in environmental and lighting conditions, although they do give us a great baseline to work from. I preferred the S21 Ultra over the other two here, but having owned one I know I certainly prefer iPhone's consistency, overall. I will also say after Google transitioned from fixed focus from laser auto focus, it's selfie camera has fallen out of favor with me, and I do give S21 Ultra the crown in terms of these 3 phones, in that department. But Google 's still king in terms of software features and overall color accuracy/science.
You are literally the ONLY ONE who has mentioned the fixed focus selfie camera on the Pixel. Why is no big reviewer addressing this as an issue? It's a BIG issue.
Good series of tests. What is missing, especially with respect to the Pixel 6 line, are portraits of people with a range of skin tones. Google claimed to have really worked on this, and it would be useful to see if these claims hold up, and also how the Pixel compares to other cameras.
From a guy who has used s8 and then 11 pro i feel you don’t really need to worry about camera performance as an average consumer , all premium phones have good enough camera . Its more about how you edit these photos that matters.
1:11 pixel is the only phone that doesn't blur the people in the back! Probably has something to do with aperture, all the new phones do that and i hate it for past few years.

It's so frustrating to watch videos that don't present things accurately. I just bought the S21 Ultra and the Pixel 6 pro. After some comparisons, I returned the Pixel. The S21ultra takes better photos. Plus, I prefer the interface of the phone. Key points on the S21 Ultra camera; 1. "108 MB" (really just 24 MB) is only on the wide angle main lense! 2.

The S21Ultra doesn't have 4x zoom, so...but, the S21Ultra takes a better image at ultra wide, wide, 3x zoom, and 10x zoom.
What I find strange is that your Pixel has a yellow tint across all of the photos. I have only seen this yellow tint on yours but not on other UA-camr's Pixel 6 Pro. I wonder if it is a software setting or something else that is throwing off the color balance on your pixel?
Best front camera was of the GOOGLE PIXEL 6 PRO and back camera king was obviously the IPHONE 13 PRO MAX. Voice cutting from the mic is the best on IPHONE 13 PRO MAX as well. Well, due to the less price, GOOGLE PIXEL 6 PRO will be a more better and value for money device.
Yeah I thought the same thing. At first I was like "did he mix up the photos?"...I feel like the iPhone didn't switch to the telephoto and instead did digital zoom from the main camera. I know that happens from time to time on a lot of phones with telephoto cameras...because the iPhone photo on that one is horrible, and has all the classic tell-tale signs of digital zoom (IE: looks like a watercolor painting). The 3x photos from the iPhone on all the other shots looked fine.
@@jessiebirax9152 He just said that the iPhone makes the best pictures and videos, and it ALWAYS did for that matter, unlike ANY OTHER phone. Not to mention the overall feel of the phone, second to none. Furthermore, it is also the toughest phone today with that ceramic coating and you can also put it underwater at over 6 meters. It is definetly not mediocre at all. Keep buying those kitsch Samsungs or whatever, they pollute this world like shit, having so many models badly built.
So s21 ultra can match it but with more color lol the s21 ultra has a better display still and is still a bit faster in benchmarks and also normal everyday use slightly yep I'm happy with the s21 ultra lol
people keep saying they'll improve the pixel 6's camera with software updates, but does that actually happen? I heard they never really did that for the previous Pixel phones.
Samsung has always been over saturated for colours in their cameras. IPhone just isn't quite up to scratch when it comes to flagship cameras. For me Google has the best, it's natural colours, pretty much as the eye sees. No over saturation
When I hear this rubbish about how cheaper the pixel 6 pro is still not learnt anything? The pixel had only one software update and there will be plenty more to come the s21 ultra was not that great at the start so chill . It will get better I time the iPhone had 10 years of practice with the same sensors .only now started to be a top notch camera . So give the pixel a chance its new hardware that needs to be refined some more
Pixel has the hardware and with time and updates I think it will only get better. Pure Google is amazing, I've been waiting for years to replace my Pixel 2XL, can't wait to buy this phone!
So beautiful photos from the very lovely city of Varna on the Black Sea!България-home of a 1500 years of history,amazing nature,sexiest women and healthy food(yoghurt comes from Bulgaria,not Greece,guys;-)) BTW,the Samsung is the phone I enjoyed,thanks for the video clip:)
All three perform comparably, but considering Apple made 3rd party screen replacement impossible without losing functionality, and Samsung's affinity for bloatware and slow Android upgrades, Google is the clear winner in my opinion. Google's guarantee of 3 yrs of upgrades and 5 years of security patching, plus the fact that their phone is far less expensive make this an easy choice.
@@SO-yg8pe That's actually great. I had a Galaxy Note several years ago, and it was nothing like that. Maybe I'll reconsider the Ultra. Samsung does serial lock the screens on the Z Fold, though.
@@gladiatormaximus7105 Perhaps for you that's true. For those who prefer to consider actual fact, however, there is this: First is the huge amount of bloatware that comes preinstalled on Samsung phones, second is that although they both promise 3 years of upgrades, Google guarantees at least 5 years of security patches to Samsung's 4 and Samsung's Android upgrades will *always* lag behind Google's for obvious reasons. The P6 and P6/Pro also cost hundreds less. Last but not least, it could be argued that Google is in the rather enviable position of being able to build an ecosystem that rivals Apple.
I think overall, I'd choose the Samsung, but so much of what you say about the pixel, honestly, is a matter of preference. Your talking about a flattened effect might hold true on two shots and you say it as if it were every shot. The commentary on warmth and coolness making one picture superior to another is entirely a matter of personal taste. Dynamic range seems to be missing an objective take. In many pictures, the pixel had greater dynamic range- a much praised feature when the iphone used to have an edge over many other phones. Aside from this, I give you much credit for taking a variety of shots for comparison. Coming in at $200 CHEAPER, the Pixel 6 Pro's "deficits" are simply no where near justifying paying $200 more for an iphone pro max, with one huge caveat. If you're all about video, go with the iphone.
The camera is one part of the package and although in photos that $200 maybe not great value there are other features that easily make that $200 a bargain and they include software updates for twice as long,m 33% extra battery life, far superior inherent performance, and better videography. I would say that for my subjective use that $200 extra is a bargain.
@@ladrenaboc9989 I agree with the better battery ... and personally would highlight better video. But $200 is $200- which might be of some note to potential buyers.
@@andyH_England Not arguing the merits of the iphone. And personally, I'd take the samsung over both others. Just noting the $200 difference. It's a plus 20% difference. Probably for iphone users $300 or $400 more would be seen as totally justified ;)
S21 for the win, I have no idea how pixel matched in the zoom quality, iPhone lost the zoom quality against them both but s21 took the win there. Personally its like bias and pushed for the win on the pixel, but hey to each there own but I prefer the S21 or pixel for zoom, as for video id prefer iPhone or S21.
Yeah. If you just simply said. For $900 you can have this camera. Now, pay another $100 you get this other one. Or pay $200 extra and you get this one. Most will be content with the first
Is amazing how smart phones cameras are getting more capable this days. You can’t go wrong with either of the three but as always, people have preferences. Great review ❤️
simple is that galaxy s21 ultra is the best phone my first smart phone was samsung galaxy note 3 i still have that phone still working fine my second sim is still in that phone,, other phone i have galaxy s21 ultra the best phone in 2021 so don,t even think about any other device
I'm using 4XL and I can shoot good photos at night and even daylight. I think the way the user tweaks the camera is the problem if he/she doesn't even know how to take better Photos. And I like the Pixel results not too warm, therefore I can enhance well in GPhotos accdg to my preference.😀
I used an iPhone 12 for the last year…I end up having to enter my pin to unlock the phone, about 75 times a day. This mask wearing has ruined the convenience of facial recognition. Add to that I work in healthcare and typically I’m wearing a mask at work as well. Anyhow, I waited to see if apple would include Touch ID on the 13 models and they didn’t. Would have been great if they put one in the power button as they did on the new iPad Air. Anyhow, ordered a pixel 6 waiting for delivery. Won’t be buying the iPhone 13. Used to have a Samsung many years ago and never liked the duplicate apps and Samsung store…etc etc. Pixel is just right.
Do you not wear gloves in the medical profession? So for you fingerprint scanner is just as bad? I use an Apple Watch and have no problems with unlocking my iPhone and that watch is now over three years old!
The Samsung s21 Ultras 100x zoom feature blows any other smartphone out of the water. Never mind the battery life and performance. One year later and my S21 ultra is still my ride or die.
He says the Pixel images are flat. I think the iPhone oversaturates images so, perhaps, flat is more natural. The Pixel skies are blue. The others seem unnatural.

From a video perspective, it would have been nice to have engaged Google's noise suppression which would make the rest of the sound on the beach much more manageable. Additionally, the pixel supports natively a Bluetooth microphone, so you could use earbuds, a smartwatch, or if you really wanted to get fancy, a dedicated microphone in order to get far, far better sound quality in a noisy environment.
Where I come from, Samsung don’t have second hand value due to maintenance expenses but the iPhone has second hand value, you will still have your money almost the same amount you bought it after use😏
I am not particularly impressed with my 6 pro's cameras. The wide is fully useless. The main sensor is pretty good but the zoom always gives me over processed looking images. Honestly super hit or miss.
Paused at 2:25 but so far to me G.P.6 works with the lighting around you. The closer you are to a light bulb the better the camera adjusts to the persons features
The flatter images on the pixel isn't a downside its actually a huge benefit. Any photographer will prefer a flatter image because you have much more flexibility while editing. The high contrast nature of the iPhone (although looks good side by side) will give you a massive handicap when editing. The photo at 5:17 is a perfect example of this: I'd say most people will say Pixel clearly looks the worst but from a photography perspective it's the winner hands down. Firstly the temperature is WAY off but not a concern because it's a super easy fix. I'm more focused on the level of detail in the shadows and WOW google nailed it (so many options to stylize this photo). Also the balance between colors is excellent, you'd be able to change different regions without having to worry about blowing out other areas. Trying to edit the iPhone photo with its high contrast and lower dynamic range will be an absolute nightmare. Overall it looks like the pixel will offer way more flexibility to stylize photos the way you want.
A helpful video; thanks! I got a Pixel 6 but am trading it in for an S21 instead because I want the "Link to Windows" feature on the Samsungs which looks very useful - don't have to look at the phone so much while on the computer. It's good to know from this video that I'm not losing anything in the camera department by switching to the S21, and in fact, the S21 pics look better to me, to my surprise.
The iphone 13 pro max, is just incorporating functions that the Galaxy S21 already had at the beginning of the year. For the lower price and the same features, I choose the S21. In innovation the S21 is one step ahead of the Iphone
I'm a pixel fan, but how does the pixel pro and iPhone pro get the "pro" designation when compared to something like the Sony experia pro also would love to see a comparison with all these phones and the Sony experia pro.
Just reading the script. It's always funny when techies say "we". Remember when samsung had the macro mode or portrait mode and it's wasn't a thing? Also Tensor and android 12 is just like 4 days old now. Let them optimize that camera like the other 2 have had numerous software updates then do this test again.
So you’re pretty much paying for beta software and hardware. The more reason to buy any other phone that has had software updates already, meaning they’ll always be ahead. By the time google hopefully releases some bug fixes, the s22 ultra will be out and you better believe that it will be twice the phone the pixel 6 pro is.
The 13 Pro is out for just a month, so Apple has time you know. However, i dont believe Apple pushes updates to improve camera quality. Google does. So lets see how they compare in a month or two. As a 13 Pro owner i AM glad its quiet even in photos,despite a small nudge to the Pixel. Shows how much Apple improved from the Xs on.
Great review, thank you. They all have their pros and cons. There's no clear winner for me. I've always been an Android user and have had Samsung and Google phones and have always liked them and the cameras. I'm finally considering an iPhone though because I want a phone with optical zoom and macro capabilities (even if it's using the telephoto as a work around) that isn't a giant brick with an awkward curved screen. The 6 pro and the s21 ultra are just massive. The size of the 13 pro and the great battery life might finally pull me over to the iPhone world.
I'm in the same boat. I was ready to upgrade from my old pixel 3a but the size of the 6 is just a no-go for me, especially considering that for all the supposed improvements the Pixel is still basically at par with the competition. Sort of let down after all the hype. Maybe if they bring back a smaller and lighter model again for the 6a I'd consider but for now the iPhone is looking more and more tempting.
Battery life? Lol, iPhone has the worst ba3 of the 3, and talking size it also has the most blunt design.. Just say u want to try an iPhone.. I will advice u to try Old models coz new ones are outright waste of your money..
Have you ever tried to make a Whatsapp video call with Pixel 6 Pro? The picture quality in video calls is incredibly low/bad, even the old phones have better than this.
Watching on my s21u and I ordered the 6 because I didn't want to wait until Jan for the pro... I really want to try that stock Android experience... But I'll prob be returning it.
@@saschaBman your PRETENTION sucks. Just praise the pixel but don't ever say it's the best coz it's clearly the inferior one among the three. Heck you even mentioned functionality yet it doesn't even got the 50% functionality of what the Samsung has, even iphones can't keep up in functionality.
@@johnsecret1318 I didn't say it's the best .it does things better then the iPhone and s21 why do t you just stop crying . I speak from experience. I had the s 21 and still do since it was released. it still is great phone but I prefer the pixel battery life is the same as I have the exinos version and that sucks same as the camera and battery not as good as the Snapdragon version so therefore the pixel is much better .not a fanboy either way I like Teck and give a crap of brands but the pixel take great pictures is fun to use battery is good enough and I'm sure it's all getting better with updates

3. The S21 Ultra takes better photos than the Pixel 6 Pro except for when 4x zoom. The S21Ultra doesn't have 4x zoom, so...but, the S21Ultra takes a better image at ultra wide, wide, 3x zoom, and 10x zoom.
What I find strange is that your Pixel has a yellow tint across all of the photos. I have only seen this yellow tint on yours but not on other UA-camr's Pixel 6 Pro. I wonder if it is a software setting or something else that is throwing off the color balance on your pixel?
I will wait and hope that Google makes a phone the size of my Pixel 5 next time out. The 6 Pro and 6 are just too large. IMHO
Galaxy s21 ultra is $1000 in our country. Love it❤❤

Best front camera was of the GOOGLE PIXEL 6 PRO and back camera king was obviously the IPHONE 13 PRO MAX. Voice cutting from the mic is the best on IPHONE 13 PRO MAX as well. Well, due to the less price, GOOGLE PIXEL 6 PRO will be a more better and value for money device.
Some of us appreciate the efforts made by Sony and google to keep the tones real and the scenes exactly as they are in pics
True but I wish it gave the option to make it looks more scenic.
Sorry but only Sony does that. Pixel don't, they drastically change the tone and colours. Totally not near to real tone
The Pixel used night sight for the low light selfie because you didn't turn screen illumination on.
5:55 ?
The pixel has the best image or am i tripping?
And I'm not looking at this from my phone
Yeah I thought the same thing. At first I was like "did he mix up the photos?"...I feel like the iPhone didn't switch to the telephoto and instead did digital zoom from the main camera. I know that happens from time to time on a lot of phones with telephoto cameras...because the iPhone photo on that one is horrible, and has all the classic tell-tale signs of digital zoom (IE: looks like a watercolor painting). The 3x photos from the iPhone on all the other shots looked fine.
Wait, the pixel uses 3x digital zoom and doesn't look nearly as good? It's the best among the 3!!! 6:00
Pixel's zoom quality is really great. Had to admit it.
If you decide to buy a phone, which of them will you suggest it to me among 1_ Huawei p50pro 2_ vivox70 3_ Google pixel 6 4_ Xiaomi mi 11
Yeah, probably the only thing at which that Pixel 6 wins. Just buy an iPhone and you’ll see the difference. The feel of the phone is on another level.
@@فيدرجه45مئوي None. Buy an iPhone. Faaar better and nicer phone.
@@legioner9 haha no iphone over priced mediocre shit
@@jessiebirax9152 He just said that the iPhone makes the best pictures and videos, and it ALWAYS did for that matter, unlike ANY OTHER phone. Not to mention the overall feel of the phone, second to none. Furthermore, it is also the toughest phone today with that ceramic coating and you can also put it underwater at over 6 meters. It is definetly not mediocre at all. Keep buying those kitsch Samsungs or whatever, they pollute this world like shit, having so many models badly built.
thanks for 50 subscriber
love you all😘😘😘
So s21 ultra can match it but with more color lol the s21 ultra has a better display still and is still a bit faster in benchmarks and also normal everyday use slightly yep I'm happy with the s21 ultra lol
Don’t forget to constantly update your Galaxy store and Galaxy apps. lol.
people keep saying they'll improve the pixel 6's camera with software updates, but does that actually happen? I heard they never really did that for the previous Pixel phones.
20x zoom? 30x? 30x on the Galaxy S21 Ultra is useful to some people, but it's not as much of a usable option on the other phones, especially Apple's.
It's extremely useful for the non-simple people.
Samsung has always been over saturated for colours in their cameras. IPhone just isn't quite up to scratch when it comes to flagship cameras. For me Google has the best, it's natural colours, pretty much as the eye sees. No over saturation
When I hear this rubbish about how cheaper the pixel 6 pro is still not learnt anything? The pixel had only one software update and there will be plenty more to come the s21 ultra was not that great at the start so chill . It will get better I time the iPhone had 10 years of practice with the same sensors .only now started to be a top notch camera . So give the pixel a chance its new hardware that needs to be refined some more
It feels like Pixel 5 does a much better job than Pixel 6. Google has a lot of work to do in order to optimize the new sensors they have now
@@vervetech9395 the pixel 6 will get there. And when it does, it'll be glorious.
No one will care about the pixel 6 in a month. No one with any amount of intelligence is going to pick the pixel over the galaxy or iPhone
I want to use for 3-4 years..
And camera + performance Have to fantastic.
So which one will good for me
I phone 12 pro max
Google pixel 6 pro
S21
???
Pixel has the hardware and with time and updates I think it will only get better. Pure Google is amazing, I've been waiting for years to replace my Pixel 2XL, can't wait to buy this phone!
So beautiful photos from the very lovely city of Varna on the Black Sea!България-home of a 1500 years of history,amazing nature,sexiest women and healthy food(yoghurt comes from Bulgaria,not Greece,guys;-)) BTW,the Samsung is the phone I enjoyed,thanks for the video clip:)
All three perform comparably, but considering Apple made 3rd party screen replacement impossible without losing functionality, and Samsung's affinity for bloatware and slow Android upgrades, Google is the clear winner in my opinion. Google's guarantee of 3 yrs of upgrades and 5 years of security patching, plus the fact that their phone is far less expensive make this an easy choice.
Pixel is undeniably inferior among the three. Don't even ask why.
Samsung gives 3 Android updates and 4 years of security patches. That isn't bad at all 😅 I get updates every month on my ultra..
@@SO-yg8pe That's actually great. I had a Galaxy Note several years ago, and it was nothing like that. Maybe I'll reconsider the Ultra. Samsung does serial lock the screens on the Z Fold, though.
Gone are the days when Samsung was slow in giving updates and now Samsung also giving 3 major updates. So overall best choice is always Samsung
@@gladiatormaximus7105 Perhaps for you that's true. For those who prefer to consider actual fact, however, there is this: First is the huge amount of bloatware that comes preinstalled on Samsung phones, second is that although they both promise 3 years of upgrades, Google guarantees at least 5 years of security patches to Samsung's 4 and Samsung's Android upgrades will *always* lag behind Google's for obvious reasons. The P6 and P6/Pro also cost hundreds less. Last but not least, it could be argued that Google is in the rather enviable position of being able to build an ecosystem that rivals Apple.
S21 ulta front video do not have noise..Excellent!! And I colours of both front and back cameras
I think overall, I'd choose the Samsung, but so much of what you say about the pixel, honestly, is a matter of preference. Your talking about a flattened effect might hold true on two shots and you say it as if it were every shot. The commentary on warmth and coolness making one picture superior to another is entirely a matter of personal taste. Dynamic range seems to be missing an objective take. In many pictures, the pixel had greater dynamic range- a much praised feature when the iphone used to have an edge over many other phones. Aside from this, I give you much credit for taking a variety of shots for comparison. Coming in at $200 CHEAPER, the Pixel 6 Pro's "deficits" are simply no where near justifying paying $200 more for an iphone pro max, with one huge caveat. If you're all about video, go with the iphone.
You do pay 200 more for far better battery, build quality etc. So for some,it is justifiable.
The camera is one part of the package and although in photos that $200 maybe not great value there are other features that easily make that $200 a bargain and they include software updates for twice as long,m 33% extra battery life, far superior inherent performance, and better videography. I would say that for my subjective use that $200 extra is a bargain.
@@ladrenaboc9989 I agree with the better battery ... and personally would highlight better video. But $200 is $200- which might be of some note to potential buyers.
@@andyH_England Not arguing the merits of the iphone. And personally, I'd take the samsung over both others. Just noting the $200 difference. It's a plus 20% difference. Probably for iphone users $300 or $400 more would be seen as totally justified ;)
S21 for the win, I have no idea how pixel matched in the zoom quality, iPhone lost the zoom quality against them both but s21 took the win there. Personally its like bias and pushed for the win on the pixel, but hey to each there own but I prefer the S21 or pixel for zoom, as for video id prefer iPhone or S21.
$899 Pixel 6Vs $1000+ Iphone & S21 ultra
Well done Google 🙂✌️
Yeah. If you just simply said. For $900 you can have this camera. Now, pay another $100 you get this other one. Or pay $200 extra and you get this one. Most will be content with the first
The night selfie of any of the phones is better than my phone's main camera😭😭
Is amazing how smart phones cameras are getting more capable this days. You can’t go wrong with either of the three but as always, people have preferences. Great review ❤️

simple is that galaxy s21 ultra is the best phone my first smart phone was samsung galaxy note 3 i still have that phone still working fine my second sim is still in that phone,, other phone i have galaxy s21 ultra the best phone in 2021 so don,t even think about any other device
I'm using 4XL and I can shoot good photos at night and even daylight.
I think the way the user tweaks the camera is the problem if he/she doesn't even know how to take better Photos.
And I like the Pixel results not too warm, therefore I can enhance well in GPhotos accdg to my preference.😀
Exactly, the user's think because they have the last flagship their camera do a miracles
The camera comparison we all wanted. Thank you for the dedication and insight to use that shot as the thumbnail.
I'm personally using the Samsung. And it's really good

I used an iPhone 12 for the last year…I end up having to enter my pin to unlock the phone, about 75 times a day. This mask wearing has ruined the convenience of facial recognition. Add to that I work in healthcare and typically I’m wearing a mask at work as well. Anyhow, I waited to see if apple would include Touch ID on the 13 models and they didn’t. Would have been great if they put one in the power button as they did on the new iPad Air. Anyhow, ordered a pixel 6 waiting for delivery. Won’t be buying the iPhone 13. Used to have a Samsung many years ago and never liked the duplicate apps and Samsung store…etc etc. Pixel is just right.
So how about stop being a media puppet and take off your mask genius
@@Darknessevolves It's not the media who enforces the mask mandate... it's white females.
@@Darknessevolves buying an iPhone is more of a media puppet move than wearing a mask
Do you not wear gloves in the medical profession? So for you fingerprint scanner is just as bad? I use an Apple Watch and have no problems with unlocking my iPhone and that watch is now over three years old!
Lmao apple is just milking the market. If they were able yo do it with the ipad why not tye iphone? Because its next years new feature .
The Samsung s21 Ultras 100x zoom feature blows any other smartphone out of the water. Never mind the battery life and performance. One year later and my S21 ultra is still my ride or die.
While the 100x zoom is neat it's the first feature I couldn't care less about.
@@PerplexedPhoton I'm assuming your not a moon guy. Its incredible overall.

The zoom video in Pixel 6 pro is Excellent 🔥🔥
He says the Pixel images are flat. I think the iPhone oversaturates images so, perhaps, flat is more natural. The Pixel skies are blue. The others seem unnatural.

i was like, what the hell Samsung is WORKING like omg imagine when the S22 comes out
Facts!
From a video perspective, it would have been nice to have engaged Google's noise suppression which would make the rest of the sound on the beach much more manageable. Additionally, the pixel supports natively a Bluetooth microphone, so you could use earbuds, a smartwatch, or if you really wanted to get fancy, a dedicated microphone in order to get far, far better sound quality in a noisy environment.
All the phones can use an external microphone
True. Pixels can do so. Also, the S21 Ultra has zoom-in microphone, so it reduces surrounding sounds while enhancing the one you want.
I actually liked the Pixel's sound at the beach the best but again it is probably the UA-cam video versus the actual video sound from here.
This review was interesting. Do you have an opportunity to make such review with vivo x70 pro plus?
Where I come from, Samsung don’t have second hand value due to maintenance expenses but the iPhone has second hand value, you will still have your money almost the same amount you bought it after use😏
I am not particularly impressed with my 6 pro's cameras. The wide is fully useless. The main sensor is pretty good but the zoom always gives me over processed looking images. Honestly super hit or miss.
On the contrary for me, my Pixel 6 has been taking amazing photos better than my Pixel 4 XL better than the s21
Paused at 2:25 but so far to me G.P.6 works with the lighting around you. The closer you are to a light bulb the better the camera adjusts to the persons features
The flatter images on the pixel isn't a downside its actually a huge benefit. Any photographer will prefer a flatter image because you have much more flexibility while editing. The high contrast nature of the iPhone (although looks good side by side) will give you a massive handicap when editing.
The photo at 5:17 is a perfect example of this: I'd say most people will say Pixel clearly looks the worst but from a photography perspective it's the winner hands down. Firstly the temperature is WAY off but not a concern because it's a super easy fix. I'm more focused on the level of detail in the shadows and WOW google nailed it (so many options to stylize this photo). Also the balance between colors is excellent, you'd be able to change different regions without having to worry about blowing out other areas. Trying to edit the iPhone photo with its high contrast and lower dynamic range will be an absolute nightmare.
Overall it looks like the pixel will offer way more flexibility to stylize photos the way you want.
90% are non photographers,casuals. For them, it looks bad.
You are number 1 in the explanation, especially in bringing 3 phones. Really gigantic. I really like it s21 ultra I can't buy it. Thanks
A helpful video; thanks! I got a Pixel 6 but am trading it in for an S21 instead because I want the "Link to Windows" feature on the Samsungs which looks very useful - don't have to look at the phone so much while on the computer. It's good to know from this video that I'm not losing anything in the camera department by switching to the S21, and in fact, the S21 pics look better to me, to my surprise.
Wait for s22 series

The KING of phone is S22 Ultra
Thanks so much for this! Very informative. I'm looking for the best camera phone and this was really helpful.
Sir,What is the meaning of form factor in this phone detail. It is written differently in all the phone details. Bar, Smartphone, Slider, ETC
The iphone 13 pro max, is just incorporating functions that the Galaxy S21 already had at the beginning of the year. For the lower price and the same features, I choose the S21. In innovation the S21 is one step ahead of the Iphone
Samsung is already selling at half its price ,iPhone holds its value very well
Android : Google Pixel 6 Pro / Galaxy S21
Ultra
IOS : Iphone 13 Pro Max
Other : ......
I'm a pixel fan, but how does the pixel pro and iPhone pro get the "pro" designation when compared to something like the Sony experia pro also would love to see a comparison with all these phones and the Sony experia pro.
The best of best phone here is s21u for camera and everything
Just reading the script. It's always funny when techies say "we". Remember when samsung had the macro mode or portrait mode and it's wasn't a thing? Also Tensor and android 12 is just like 4 days old now. Let them optimize that camera like the other 2 have had numerous software updates then do this test again.
If Apple introduced a thing called ishitt, Apple fanboys would eat it
@@mystery1521 yeah but I’m pretty sure you don’t own any of these phones🤣🤣
It's still not a thing for most people.
So you’re pretty much paying for beta software and hardware. The more reason to buy any other phone that has had software updates already, meaning they’ll always be ahead. By the time google hopefully releases some bug fixes, the s22 ultra will be out and you better believe that it will be twice the phone the pixel 6 pro is.
The 13 Pro is out for just a month, so Apple has time you know.
However, i dont believe Apple pushes updates to improve camera quality. Google does. So lets see how they compare in a month or two.
As a 13 Pro owner i AM glad its quiet even in photos,despite a small nudge to the Pixel. Shows how much Apple improved from the Xs on.
NICE COMPAIR , GOOD JOB BROTHER , ALWAYS LOVE
Crazy that the LG V60 still goes head to head with these phones.
When u buy iPhone but u know u bought only the logo 🤣
Actually you do have a screen light option on pixel 6 pro for low light selfie you have to click settings Tab
Where goes iPhone's warm toning effect on pic.i really miss it 😥
Great review, thank you. They all have their pros and cons. There's no clear winner for me. I've always been an Android user and have had Samsung and Google phones and have always liked them and the cameras. I'm finally considering an iPhone though because I want a phone with optical zoom and macro capabilities (even if it's using the telephoto as a work around) that isn't a giant brick with an awkward curved screen. The 6 pro and the s21 ultra are just massive. The size of the 13 pro and the great battery life might finally pull me over to the iPhone world.
You wont regret it i think.
I'm in the same boat. I was ready to upgrade from my old pixel 3a but the size of the 6 is just a no-go for me, especially considering that for all the supposed improvements the Pixel is still basically at par with the competition. Sort of let down after all the hype. Maybe if they bring back a smaller and lighter model again for the 6a I'd consider but for now the iPhone is looking more and more tempting.
Battery life? Lol, iPhone has the worst ba3 of the 3, and talking size it also has the most blunt design.. Just say u want to try an iPhone.. I will advice u to try Old models coz new ones are outright waste of your money..
@@pman4411 The 13 Pro Max has the best battery life, just amazing.

May be pixel 6 pro is a good deal in US. But it is quite expensive in Finland (1200€ 128gb) which is way too high price for this quality.
