Pixel for me too. I think that if iPhone 15 doesn't have USB-C, I'll go Google. I think that all the images they got via picassa clearly trained well their AI.
True, as a die hard Apple fan I don't like the look of the new iPhone pictures. They are too overcooked, no shadows, too bright faces, too sharp and sometimes green color cast. Pixel was definitely the most natural and what I liked the best most of the time. If it only wasn't Android…😀
@@Velodynamic only in portrait because thats how portrait works or supposed to work on all phones Portrait is used when you want to focus on the main subject and blur the remaining
as a photographer and videographer myself. i prefer pixel. iphone too much HDR will better if has on off feature. or got slider to adjust percentage.but the problem with iphone they want us to follow them. wont give us options.
Google wasn't' kidding when they said they did lot of research on people's face and corrected their colors. I think their AI algorithm grows bigger and bigger with users input, and over the year we will be treated with most natural looking color corrected pictures out of pixel devices. I would have chosen s22 in almost 4 instances over iphone, both were too close. To me pixel, s22 and iphone. But if iPhone's pro raw pictures are used, pixel and iphone should have been so close leaving s22 far far behind... Overall, great job guys!
agreed. the only thing that needs improvement is their "bokeh" and how it "cuts out" the subject. it's definitely improved compared vs my old px6 but it's still pretty bad.
Hahaha, maybe it will like with search engine. We can argue what is better in many situations like iPhone vs Android, beef or chicken etc. but when it comes to search engines Google with their huge data and perfecting algorithm for decades is far above anyone else.
I switched over to the iPhone 14 pro max this year from a Pixel 6 pro and the thing I miss the most about the Pixel is the photos. The photos I got out of the pixel were the best of any phone I’ve ever had.
The Pixel 7 was quite a surprise. I would have expected the iPhone 14 to be better. Before I retired a few years back, I owed a photography studio for 4 decades, and was a very early adopter of digital back in the mid 90s. After watching other iPhone 14 pro/max videos by Max and Vadim, I bought the iPhone 14 pro a month ago. Maybe I'll need to glue a Pixel 7 to the back of it. ;-D
Yes same thing max made it look like it blew the competition out of the water that’s why I bought mine too LOL but by FAR the pixel is better in a lot of situations
I heard pixel 8 is gonna have a huge camera upgrade so i suggest waiting for the 8 while keeping your iphone cuz for me i prefer having 2 phones than 1
Nice comparison from a professional perspective. I own Pixel 7 Pro and is definitely a surprise in every situation. Just put out from the pocket, double click on the power button and in 1 second and a half you have an awesome pic in every scenario. I really enjoy this piece of tech!
What do you think of the front camera though? I was really disappointed, the quality is so bad... I got a pixel 7 and my old Xiaomi 9lite takes better pictures at home...
@@io100x100unfortunately the selfie cameras on the new pixels are truely horrible :( I really hope the next ones will fix this issue. It holds the phone back a bit. I have a Pixel 6 and otherwise I'm very happy with the phone. But Video and Selfie Camera could use a good update to get on iPhone Level
I have the regular pixel 7 and I'm always impressed every time I point the phone against the sun and take a pic (which most photographers try to avoid if you want to get details on the subject), it always comes out with so much dynamic range and details
I would appreciate it if my Pixel had better video. That being said I'm not making a movie and the quality is already fantastic. So that leaves the more important metric: photos, and the Pixel is kicking ass. In addition the Pixel is also providing all the other amazing phone features that apple can't match. Let's not forget the Assistant.
As a photographer, I think it's hard to judge coz even we prefer our shots a little warm / cool, bright sometimes and deep shadows other times. It's a matter of perspective and the theme of the photograph. I think it'll take seconds to edit any one of the images to look like the other 2. So basically these phones are doing a great job in different styles. All 3 are very comparable.
@@yeetiesandwheaties and then photographers stylistically edit in post, to kill saturation if they want the shot gloomy, or, reduce the contrast on a foggy morning image Don't expect accuracy from a tiny sensor. What I mean is that they've done great with what they have using AI smarts. And they all differ by a smidge
I have the Pixel 7 Pro and I have taken Night Sight photos that came out a little blurry. There is a neat trick that I use in the Google Camera that makes it come out a LOT better. After you have taken the Night Sight image, use the Photo Unblur feature and it will sharpen the image and remove the blur. It's pretty cool and makes for a really GREAT image! I think all three phones take great photos, but it's quite clear, judging by the photo preference count in this video, that Pixel 7 Pro photo processing is, by far, the best!
It's funny how Max's team always chooses the darker Iphone photos when it's in the night but the professional photographers enjoyed the scene to be a little bit brighter lol
As a videomaker, photographer, and a s22u owner i picked Pixel 7 in almost every photo, in nightmode i choose more of the s22u but im rlly impressed, pixel would aways stay behind in camera compared to the competition and in this one their crushing it.
Samsung always had this poppy over saturated look about their cameras. It’s like it’s already edited out the gate. Honestly with the great lighting any of these cameras can get the job done
As a Pixel 7 Pro owner, the only problem I have sometimes is it going too "hdr" and sometimes looking flat. But it being more true-to-life with colors than the iPhone and Samsung makes more sense. Then you can add your filter or adjust the photo.
I got a pixel 7 pro recently and I can confirm. Main sensor is amazing, portraits are shitty. I think they can improve them via software. Videos are ok, not consistent like the iphone. But I use the main for 80+% of the time so I am pretty happy with it. I think most people use the main sensor for the majority of the time, so the pixel really got a banger. Especially with the non pro version, such good value. I like bigger screens so I went for the pro. Very interesting video, confirmed my choice. 10/10 :)
Marques was right bro the pixel just been way better and the blind scientific test was correct. The dude who did the test flips back and forth too much because if you was check previous videos when he talks about the iPhone it’s all natural and the others have this and that now he is taking himself out the equation and saying a lot of people and not including his self.
@@kgzdelivery what marques is saying iPhone switched to a 48mp camera that needs updating because they’re processing the images just like there 12mp counterparts. It is gonna get better with the iPhone 15 pro they not gonna do anything else to the 14 pro and pro max
One of the challenges watching these and similar videos is the way the photos are displayed on your device - the one you are using to watch the videos - is not the same as seeing them on a neutral screen. For me watching this on an iPadPro 11: iPhone 14 Pro - 8, Samsung S22 - 9, Pixel 7 Pro - 23.
Pixel 7 pro's camera is really great! When I share the picture, most people are asking which camera I was using. It's a really good choice in terms of price and performance.. P.S: I'm not a photographer and have no any knowledge about photography. Click to focus, click to shot - all what I know)
Being semi pro (side gig) photographer also I'm not at all surprised. The comments with all that is wrong with iPhone processing especially colour and white balance is my experience seeing most pics taken from misses 14pro. I honestly think it gets those things wrong more than my low mid spec oppo even (my base comparison gear is Nikon and FujiFillm). I guess just save the money (especially in the USA) and have better is the take away from this video
Have an S22 Ultra and I think switching to 108MP reduced the right amount of processing. A quick example would be the fire shot at 19:30 since I have take several fire shots and they look more like the ones on left or sometimes on the right depending on the lighting while Max said he tried 4 times and it looked the same.
Yeah, the 22 ultra isnt a simple point and shoot camera. You have yi change some stuff around and it will always take the cake when you use it proporly.
@@themagician2008 a lot of people has flagships and dont use them at max, so just point and click photo is the most reprezentative of how people would actualy take a photo
I have both Pixel 7 pro and s22 ultra, P7P nails it pretty much every time, but s22U has much better selfies. I don't like selfies on P7P, they look unnatural and overprocessed.
I use the Pixel 7 pro and it is really good. I live about 40 miles from mt Rainier and i zoom in 30x and i can see every small detail of the mountain no matter the lighting with the exception of nighttime. I highly reccomend it.
Funny thing is both the photographers are iPhone users and Eugene even said he expected to come in with an iPhone bias, thankfully their unbiased professionalism shone through.
I'm 2 weeks with my Google Pixel 7 Pro. I have to be honest I have a bit of buyers remorse wondering if I made a mistake. After viewing this video I realize I made the right choice, I always picked the Pixel 7 Pro photos and videos when it mattered but others phones when all the pictures just didn't look right. I am so happy to find this video.
Almost all my votes went for pixel pro7 except for one or two... Thank you for this video.. Ive been in a dilemma since 2 weeks if I should go with s22ultra or pixel 7 pro.. This once cleared my doubts..
Wow. There’s no way I’m leaving Apple but seeing this makes me feel the iPhone pro is unnecessary. I chose the pixel 7 80-90% of the time. I’m convinced the iPhone takes horrible photos and until they fix their processing I’m gonna save a boat load of cash downgrading to the non-pro
When you take photos with the samsung don't use the 108 pxl when it's in a bright or dark area bc it's not HDR use the second choice and make sure to turn Auto HDR on , Hight efficiency pictures on, and scène optimiser on
I do own a Samsung S21 Ultra which i consider pretty similar to S22 ultra and one thing where it really shines is the ability to have full manual control on all the 3 lenses. Having a composite RAW file from Expert RAW! May be you should make a video of comparing the RAW images and comparing the full potential of all 3 images - might be of interest to a smaller audience though
Yeah, I felt like these guys were way too concerned with exposure and colors, those are so easy to fix in post. The samsung had the least fake clarity/sharpening and looked like an actual photo instead of some computerized image. I switched to iphone from the s11 back in the day but now might have to switch back if samsung ever figures out how to do good video.
10 S22, 7 iPhone, 22 Pixel. Honestly most surprised I didn't end up with more iPhone, as I chose it 4 out of the first 5 and then it just fell off as pics became more difficult to capture (lighting, shadows, colors etc)
I feel like the iphone still needs the software corrections for the new 48megapixel sensor , the same way the pixel needed them with the 6. But Overall in my own personal use i have noticed and overly warm tone in night mode photos with iphone. Im sure a lot of iphone issues can be corrected with software but its a matter of whether they actually do it, Or just decide to fix the software issues only on the 15’s cameras to make them seem better when in reality it could be fixed with the 14’s. Either way Apple needs to step it up and decrease the price. Or atleast keep the price but actually do some innovation
Why would Apple reduce price when people are willing to pay extra year over year? iPhone 15 Ultra will be another $100-200 extra and people will still buy like hot cakes, mark my words
I was planning to buy the iphone 13 Pro since it has the same price with the Pixel 7 Pro in my country but after watching this i will get the Pixel 7 Pro google image processing is extraordinary my only complain is the portrait mode
This was really revealing, thank you for mentioning updates! I noticed between Samsung S22 (not ultra) and the Pixel 7 (not pro) and Iphone 14 (not pro/max) that I had a much harder time deciding, but once being a bit more realistic with my use case and budget, decided the 7 pro is worth it, and when it comes to a "starting point" it definitely seems to get the closest to "ready to edit", natural just shot look, but not bad if shared as is. Very respectable quality in most cases, and bordering perfect tones/colors in a smaller portion. That smaller portion basically never exists for me with the other two. Samsungs hyper saturation, warm contrasty thing is amazing shooting people with really fair skin, and I love the look of it shooting outdoors, but I think Iphone and Samsung reveal their weaknesses (less strengths? 2nd strengths? still not bad phones by any stretch, just remember what your first android photos looked like...) when there is a complex scene, or detail needed in a human subject. Pixel still does a few odd things at times, but 7/10 times I think it does well enough I wouldn't be hunting for settings for a retake. That's amazing, because it almost nullifies carrying any other cameras except for an action cam or something video specific-- To be fair on that front- I think Iphone still shoots the best videos if you don't need large format, just shooting a youtube clip etc. Hard to complain, they have it dialed it.
Great to see people finally acknowledging iphones shortcomings and pixels superiority. I've been saying it for a while now but usually when they do this test they all chose Iphones but these pro photographers know whats up clearly.
I also have realised this some time ago, i have the galaxy m51 with a gcam (google camera software) and the iPhone 13 pro max i was taking photos of a weeding last year and i give up using the iphone because it made everyone look orange just like the simpsons and even without google software the galaxy has the colors spot on and a better dynamic range also later in that month i went to a party and it's incredible how people go crazy with the iPhone photos but i was using google software on the m51 and i got better results basicaly every time in the photos, by that day i only use the iPhone to record videos
13:25 he says the right one was the worst but it's actually the left one that's the worst. It's blown out, paddle no shadows and muted colors. The right one was a bit bright on the skin but it has a more natural realistic look. The center has great shadows and colors but it's a bit warm, although that makes the center picture pop the most.
Great video. It would be really interesting if you did this again but also took the same shots with a real camera and compared those to the smartphones.
Ok so this video is proof that MKBHD is right and this channel is an iPhone Biased. Also it proofs again that MKBHD is right by making the pixel number 1 Camera.
I guess my only disappointment with this is that it ignores the telephoto shots. It seemed that in order to try and keep some fairness, the focus was only on shots all of them could achieve. How about a 30x zoom shot to see how they compare. As a parent, I am constantly in the audience of my child's performances where telephoto is key. While there were a couple of telephoto shots, it was generally ignored.
Winners per category: Main camera: Pixel 7 Pro Portrait mode: 14 Pro Night: Pixel 7 Pro Selfie: S22 Ultra Telephoto: Pixel 7 Pro Video: 14 Pro Macro: missing Ultrawide: not enough data
They were never not on the top, the first pixel to the current one, all had the best camera in comparison to their counterparts.... In the middle of the series like pixel 4 and 5, they were bad phones because they got a lot of things, not camera, very wrong
I don't understand the discussion about which camera is the best. The photos I have from the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 10s and 20s are all great. Oh yeah and before the 70's from my dad. The atmosphere that the old photos show is just great. It doesn't always have to be better. The moment you capture is much more important. So, it doesn't matter at all which phone you choose. Choose one of the brands you like the most and it's okay
This is one of the reasons we subscribe and watch this channel. I'd like to get an iPhone, but if the Pixel costs 2/3 the price with this performance, it's hard to justify the iPhone's price.
The results didn't surprise me at all. I have a 14 Pro Max and am seriously considering an android solely for still photos. If the Pixel 7 offered full manual shooting, I'd pick one up in a second.
Just recently upgraded to the iPhone 14 pro max ultra from 13 pro max ultra and I’ve noticed that the pictures look worse….hopefully it’s a software issue that can be fixed..besides that I love the phone
We just looked through my wifes photos, and she’s had all the IPhones. She’s never used anything else. But quite frankly, the pictures that she took with the 11, is better than the pics with the 13 and 14. Sure, not in all scenarios. But in the scenarios that most people take pictures.
Are you trying to defend the S22? This is an unbiased test and votes are coming from professional photographers and they picked the S22 the least. Both Samsung and Apple were beaten by the Pixel again. In both MKBHD’s test votes coming from mostly casual users and then in this test votes coming from professional photographers.
@@omxga1270 I'm only talking about the actual iPhone Situation... The JPEGs are very plastic looking today, really hate them. iPhone Jpegs 5 Years ago looked much more natural. Best Thing could happend, that big UA-camrs mark this Problem now.
@@mixdown78 Oh I just misunderstood what exactly you were pointing at. Sorry about that. I agree. Even my iPhone 7 could compete with my iPhone 13 right now. I just is a bit more grainy but otherwise, the processing looks great sometimes even better.
@@omxga1270 :-) no Problem. totally Agree, i start noticing that beginning of the iPhone 12 Series, there was a huge (bad) change, and now it's going very public thankfully. The Pictures from my 13 just doesn't look real sometimes.. and your shocked when you see a pic taken from a real Photocamera next to it. I removed the Camera App from it's prominent position ... Best thing you could now (if Pics have value for you) is to take them with LR App in Professional Mode as Workaround to skip all Apple Bullsh(/&%§t Processing at the moment. Cheers
@@mixdown78 Thats exactly what im trying to do as well. Ive been practicing LR Mobile and I think with enough practice it will look great. I still look back to my iPhone 7 pics and they look incredible. Somehow there's almost the same amount of grain yet the HDR is much better than now, colors were more correct, less over saturated etc. A lot of phones messed up their processing. I wouldn't call the iPhone's processing "very over processed" but I don't like how saturated, vibrant, over sharpened it can be sometimes. Also, whenever i try to get a quick shot, almost all the time if I dont check the exposure, the sky ends up being very overexposed.
iPhone camera has been overrated for years, Pixel has been the best since before it was the Pixel. My old Nexus 5X blew the iPhone 6s out of the water in camera quality back in 2015. I had them both that year as my family switched mobile carriers. If Apple didn't have this rabid fanbase everyone would've realized much sooner.
Being an iPhone user for years now, it was easy to tell which were shot (without editing) with the iPhone because it tends to be famous for the greener tint of images and somewhat of an over exposure in darker areas, I was shocked however, with the Pixel overall.
majority of the people buying the iphone will be using standard mode, and normal people wouldn't want to spend time editing photos so this was the perfect case scenario.
It would be better, even if the others had RAW on as well. That is, until the s23 ultra comes out lol (with up to date camera hardware) they should be pre similar
@@FangOG Many people who buy an iPhone do it for the camera and to have the best possible quality in both video and photography. If you are a person who likes to upload photos to social networks, which I think most people make it obvious, you are a person who will edit their photos as you like the most to upload them later to social networks, it should be noted that only when you use pro raw is when you use the new 48 mp and that is where you get more detail and information in the photo and it is the video that I would like to see that tests the pro raw format and so people who may not know how to use it will know how to use it
@@huntno the competition for the s23 ultra is the next iPhone 15 pro Max here they are testing the best phones of 2022 and I understand that the iPhone is the only device that allows you to take raw photos with the highest sensor quality the other devices let you take in raw but not with the maximum quality of the main sensor
15 - iPhone 14 Pro Max 15 - Pixel 7 Pro 10 - S22 Ultra With these kinds of tests, iPhones and Pixels almost always end up with a tie for me. In my opinion though, iPhones perform best across different conditions-be it good/harsh/low light photography and videography-resulting in a more reliable camera. However, the margin of differentiation is diminishing for these phones that you can't really go wrong with whichever phone you pick.
I have seen so many comparison videos and all differ. Some have the s22 ultra wiping the floor with the competition. Others, like this video have the s22 ultra struggling. It's purely down to each individual and how our eyes view the shots/pictures taken. I have the s22 ultra and I can positively say it is a very good camera and video camera. I've taken various shots using all of the lenses and for the most part I'm impressed. With time, the various updates will improve the cameras on all the top end phones, one would assume.
I think the main reason is that the s22 has 2 different processor options and depending on the country you get one or another, that makes a big difference in camera, I was just thinking that anyone in the comments mentioned it. Would love to know what s22 they have and would love to get my hands on a pixel one day too.
@Nícolas Silva I have the s22 ultra with the Exynos chip. I'm in England where we are one of several countries to have that particular chip. Apparently samsung are not keen on it and they are sticking with the snapdragon chipset. Why we don't get that is beyond me.
I have a pixel 7 pro and installed the gcam 8.7 APK - highly highly recommended. You have even more control over many aspects of the camera, especially HDR+ and white balance. Google AI does adapt over time, btw . Mine was producing photos that's were way too blue/cold at first. So I had the temp and exposure sliders active, and adjusted the temp to warmer most times. But now it's learned my preference and I don't really need the sliders anymore
I have been working as a professional photographer since 2001, and throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to use iPhones starting from the IPhone 3 model. At that time, Apple's algorithms were far superior to those of its competitors. However, I stopped shooting with smartphones in 2017, so I cannot provide an assessment on their performance since then. After watching the video, I was truly impressed by the capabilities of these three smartphones. Each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses. I would be particularly interested in testing them using an app that allows for full manual controls. This way, I could assess how differently each smartphone measures light and try to match their results manually. Based on my observations, if my priority is shooting videos, I would overlook the Pixel and focus on the other two options. When it comes to photography, both the Pixel and the iPhone offer compelling features. Personally, I would lean towards the iPhone because of its familiarity to me. While the Pixel exhibited some flaws in processing bokeh and shadows in a couple of photos, it outperformed the iPhone in other situations by a significant margin. It truly surprised me. Regarding the Samsung, the video showcased its impressive capabilities. However, I am not particularly fond of the overprocessed look of the photos. In my opinion, the mixture of yellow and magenta colors is not accurate, and the photos often appear oversharpened. In conclusion, based on what I have seen, these three smartphones are incredible tools. Once you become accustomed to their strengths and weaknesses, you can compensate for any shortcomings in post-processing. They offer tremendous potential for capturing stunning images, and with the right adjustments, their output can rival that of mid range consumer dedicated cameras. Thank you for the video.
Watching this on my new pixel 7 pro....happy to see it took the win but I think it all comes down to the photographer given the phones are all pretty good
It's unbelievable .... The 2 "pro photographers" didn't mention that the pic @12:25 should have been disqualified. The middle pic doesn't have the "direct sun effect" ... Come on guys we expect more ... :D
its been 3 years since I have been telling ppl (as a person who has used Pixel, Samsung and iphone) that iphones have been dethroned in terms of photography. But ppl just didn't believe me. Now this and the Blind Camera test of MKBHD just proves it. Samsung needs to improve, but I will still take Samsung photos over iphone. Though iphone is still unbeatable in terms of Video. NO DOUBT, in that.
Two professional photographers and apple fans who know perfectly well which phone took which photos picks the best photos in a 'blind test'. A very good test.🤣
I always use lightroom mobile for pretty much any cellphone photo I take, that I post... so I didn't care about which images had the best colors. I focused on image quality, dynamic range, and exposure. I picked the Pixel almost every time! Think I know what phone I'm getting next!
I've always been a Samsung phone fan for camera compared to the iPhone, but now for the first time I'm gonna get a Pixel. 😊 Thank you for these comparisons AND with 2 photographers!!! Much appreciated 😇😊
Oh damn how all good picture quality from all three. I myself am an iPhone 13 Pro Max user, of course the best photos come in sunlight, but night photography is also very convincing. The iPhone's cameras are really good, but what I like the most is the app, it's really simple to use and hasn't bugged once during my use. But smartphone cameras can do really well and I can't wait to see what the next years will bring to cameras

Google wasn't' kidding when they said they did lot of research on people's face and corrected their colors. I think their AI algorithm grows bigger and bigger with users input, and over the year we will be treated with most natural looking color corrected pictures out of pixel devices.
I would have chosen s22 in almost 4 instances over iphone, both were too close. To me pixel, s22 and iphone. But if iPhone's pro raw pictures are used, pixel and iphone should have been so close leaving s22 far far behind... Overall, great job guys!

Samsung s22 has its own raw mode, which is called Expert Raw
I switched over to the iPhone 14 pro max this year from a Pixel 6 pro and the thing I miss the most about the Pixel is the photos. The photos I got out of the pixel were the best of any phone I’ve ever had.

As a photographer, I think it's hard to judge coz even we prefer our shots a little warm / cool, bright sometimes and deep shadows other times. It's a matter of perspective and the theme of the photograph. I think it'll take seconds to edit any one of the images to look like the other 2.
So basically these phones are doing a great job in different styles. All 3 are very comparable.
S22 user?
But when you compare their price range then the pixel is best for photography.
@@DC-ej4xd huh?
Who is we? I prefer color accuracy always. I don't prefer anything that isn't color accurate.
@@yeetiesandwheaties and then photographers stylistically edit in post, to kill saturation if they want the shot gloomy, or, reduce the contrast on a foggy morning image
Don't expect accuracy from a tiny sensor. What I mean is that they've done great with what they have using AI smarts. And they all differ by a smidge
If Pixel fixed their oversharpened, half Bokeh potrait shots, then it would've been the perfect smartphone camera by far.
I have no money please help me

Why wait? Just take a regular shot and just adjust the bokeh in the google photos gallery. And a perfect photo is done :)

I have the Pixel 7 Pro and I have taken Night Sight photos that came out a little blurry. There is a neat trick that I use in the Google Camera that makes it come out a LOT better. After you have taken the Night Sight image, use the Photo Unblur feature and it will sharpen the image and remove the blur. It's pretty cool and makes for a really GREAT image!
I think all three phones take great photos, but it's quite clear, judging by the photo preference count in this video, that Pixel 7 Pro photo processing is, by far, the best!
It's funny how Max's team always chooses the darker Iphone photos when it's in the night but the professional photographers enjoyed the scene to be a little bit brighter lol
American made always win 🐖
His team always choose iPhones 🤣🤣
@@kawsarkaz1783 u realise you are the reason that people clown on america

@@andyabajo you obviously haven't watched their videos 😂
As a videomaker, photographer, and a s22u owner i picked Pixel 7 in almost every photo, in nightmode i choose more of the s22u but im rlly impressed, pixel would aways stay behind in camera compared to the competition and in this one their crushing it.
Samsung always had this poppy over saturated look about their cameras. It’s like it’s already edited out the gate. Honestly with the great lighting any of these cameras can get the job done
As a Pixel 7 Pro owner, the only problem I have sometimes is it going too "hdr" and sometimes looking flat. But it being more true-to-life with colors than the iPhone and Samsung makes more sense. Then you can add your filter or adjust the photo.
@@ElectricC0mpany isn't it too dark (the Pixel)?
I got a pixel 7 pro recently and I can confirm. Main sensor is amazing, portraits are shitty. I think they can improve them via software. Videos are ok, not consistent like the iphone. But I use the main for 80+% of the time so I am pretty happy with it.
I think most people use the main sensor for the majority of the time, so the pixel really got a banger. Especially with the non pro version, such good value. I like bigger screens so I went for the pro.
Very interesting video, confirmed my choice. 10/10 :)
Marques was right bro the pixel just been way better and the blind scientific test was correct.
The dude who did the test flips back and forth too much because if you was check previous videos when he talks about the iPhone it’s all natural and the others have this and that now he is taking himself out the equation and saying a lot of people and not including his self.
😂 I tried to tell him Marques wasn't dunking on iphone 14 pro max.They need to work on somethings there's nothing wrong with that
Hes so biased, claims not to be but its obvious
@@kgzdelivery what marques is saying iPhone switched to a 48mp camera that needs updating because they’re processing the images just like there 12mp counterparts. It is gonna get better with the iPhone 15 pro they not gonna do anything else to the 14 pro and pro max
I am a iPhone 12 Pro Max user so I am not even being bias am just stating what I noticed over a lot max techs videos.
@@lilchad_hd I agree what's on the iPhone 14 series is done already. 🍏 listening to him so yes iphone 15 series will better
Max, what if you did one of these but had the photographers not hear each others' votes until the end (so they don't influence each other)?
I had the same thought too
I thought the same thing
You sound like a statistician (if anyone's wondering that's a good thing)
Check out mkbhd's video about this. Had 21 million unbiased votes and Pixel won by a mile.
How about him not asking if they're sure about the picture they chose, because he's iphone biased.
i recently bought a p7 pro, i can agree that the photos it takes are excellent.
I love the Pixel. Definitely better than my iPhone 14 Pro for photos.
One of the challenges watching these and similar videos is the way the photos are displayed on your device - the one you are using to watch the videos - is not the same as seeing them on a neutral screen. For me watching this on an iPadPro 11: iPhone 14 Pro - 8, Samsung S22 - 9, Pixel 7 Pro - 23.
Ahh yes, ecosystem. Where you have to have the correct screen to correct for the wonky skin tones that your camera captures 🤌
Im a photographer and I bought the Pixel 7 Pro like a week ago and man this phone does such a great job with photos
I got pixel 22 Samsung 8 and iPhone 10. Love the Pixel’s natural camera
I found it interesting that the least expensive device was chosen by professional photographers to give the best results. I really am surprised.
it because your paying for the name at that point mean if the the iphone 14 pro max was didn't have apple realtered with it it would be like £200
Bring these two men for more photo/video unbiased comparison in future . They are funny and professional
Thanks
Pixel 7 pro's camera is really great! When I share the picture, most people are asking which camera I was using. It's a really good choice in terms of price and performance..
P.S: I'm not a photographer and have no any knowledge about photography. Click to focus, click to shot - all what I know)
Being semi pro (side gig) photographer also I'm not at all surprised. The comments with all that is wrong with iPhone processing especially colour and white balance is my experience seeing most pics taken from misses 14pro. I honestly think it gets those things wrong more than my low mid spec oppo even (my base comparison gear is Nikon and FujiFillm).
I guess just save the money (especially in the USA) and have better is the take away from this video
Have an S22 Ultra and I think switching to 108MP reduced the right amount of processing. A quick example would be the fire shot at 19:30 since I have take several fire shots and they look more like the ones on left or sometimes on the right depending on the lighting while Max said he tried 4 times and it looked the same.
I think the guy never took the time to properly manually tune the phones and took most shots in auto mode (vs Pro).
@@C_R_O_M________ Yes and that's fine but he did change it to 108 MP for S22 which isn't the default cam
Yeah, the 22 ultra isnt a simple point and shoot camera. You have yi change some stuff around and it will always take the cake when you use it proporly.
@@themagician2008 a lot of people has flagships and dont use them at max, so just point and click photo is the most reprezentative of how people would actualy take a photo
@@yzxz9012 true, but I'm pointing out that iphones are point and shoot while samsungs arnt.
I have both Pixel 7 pro and s22 ultra, P7P nails it pretty much every time, but s22U has much better selfies. I don't like selfies on P7P, they look unnatural and overprocessed.
I use the Pixel 7 pro and it is really good. I live about 40 miles from mt Rainier and i zoom in 30x and i can see every small detail of the mountain no matter the lighting with the exception of nighttime. I highly reccomend it.
That's what happens when you are not Iphone biased. First time on this channel lol
Funny thing is both the photographers are iPhone users and Eugene even said he expected to come in with an iPhone bias, thankfully their unbiased professionalism shone through.
True 😂.
I'm 2 weeks with my Google Pixel 7 Pro. I have to be honest I have a bit of buyers remorse wondering if I made a mistake.
After viewing this video I realize I made the right choice, I always picked the Pixel 7 Pro photos and videos when it mattered but others phones when all the pictures just didn't look right. I am so happy to find this video.
Despite the Pixel being the underdog in terms of specs, it's killing it out there... Phenomenal job by Google once again!
it will lead in the future when AI takes the center stage
Almost all my votes went for pixel pro7 except for one or two... Thank you for this video.. Ive been in a dilemma since 2 weeks if I should go with s22ultra or pixel 7 pro.. This once cleared my doubts..
If I were you I'll wait for the pixel 8 pro instead for better charging speed and who knows better hardware, design and material.
Wow. There’s no way I’m leaving Apple but seeing this makes me feel the iPhone pro is unnecessary. I chose the pixel 7 80-90% of the time. I’m convinced the iPhone takes horrible photos and until they fix their processing I’m gonna save a boat load of cash downgrading to the non-pro
Come to android.
When you take photos with the samsung don't use the 108 pxl when it's in a bright or dark area bc it's not HDR use the second choice and make sure to turn Auto HDR on , Hight efficiency pictures on, and scène optimiser on
Yeah, not point and shoot with 108. 108 camera requires very certian cercumstancis
So you proved MKBHD was right.
Luckily not everyone follows MKBHD who's severely overhyped
@@mrkring1526 he is, but zhat photo comparasign was amazing, you gotta give him that
Do u just want everyone to say iPhone is better mindlessly and not need a comparison at all?@@mrkring1526
I do own a Samsung S21 Ultra which i consider pretty similar to S22 ultra and one thing where it really shines is the ability to have full manual control on all the 3 lenses. Having a composite RAW file from Expert RAW! May be you should make a video of comparing the RAW images and comparing the full potential of all 3 images - might be of interest to a smaller audience though
Yeah, I felt like these guys were way too concerned with exposure and colors, those are so easy to fix in post. The samsung had the least fake clarity/sharpening and looked like an actual photo instead of some computerized image. I switched to iphone from the s11 back in the day but now might have to switch back if samsung ever figures out how to do good video.
@@enlnh Samsung definitely does not look natural in my opinion. They just smooth faces way too much.
ExpertRaw has more control on S22 Ultra and the selfie camera is available in RAW as well. Trust me it's mind boggling what you can do with it.
Pixel 7 killing it. "We need to switch over to Pixel... Do you have any Pixel discount codes?" 🤣
i got mine for free yesterday!

10 S22, 7 iPhone, 22 Pixel. Honestly most surprised I didn't end up with more iPhone, as I chose it 4 out of the first 5 and then it just fell off as pics became more difficult to capture (lighting, shadows, colors etc)
I feel like the iphone still needs the software corrections for the new 48megapixel sensor , the same way the pixel needed them with the 6. But Overall in my own personal use i have noticed and overly warm tone in night mode photos with iphone. Im sure a lot of iphone issues can be corrected with software but its a matter of whether they actually do it, Or just decide to fix the software issues only on the 15’s cameras to make them seem better when in reality it could be fixed with the 14’s. Either way Apple needs to step it up and decrease the price. Or atleast keep the price but actually do some innovation
Why would Apple reduce price when people are willing to pay extra year over year? iPhone 15 Ultra will be another $100-200 extra and people will still buy like hot cakes, mark my words
The iPhone14 was ahead at first but with these past updates Google did something magical with the processing. Even video is improved.
I was planning to buy the iphone 13 Pro since it has the same price with the Pixel 7 Pro in my country but after watching this i will get the Pixel 7 Pro google image processing is extraordinary my only complain is the portrait mode
This was really revealing, thank you for mentioning updates! I noticed between Samsung S22 (not ultra) and the Pixel 7 (not pro) and Iphone 14 (not pro/max) that I had a much harder time deciding, but once being a bit more realistic with my use case and budget, decided the 7 pro is worth it, and when it comes to a "starting point" it definitely seems to get the closest to "ready to edit", natural just shot look, but not bad if shared as is. Very respectable quality in most cases, and bordering perfect tones/colors in a smaller portion. That smaller portion basically never exists for me with the other two. Samsungs hyper saturation, warm contrasty thing is amazing shooting people with really fair skin, and I love the look of it shooting outdoors, but I think Iphone and Samsung reveal their weaknesses (less strengths? 2nd strengths? still not bad phones by any stretch, just remember what your first android photos looked like...) when there is a complex scene, or detail needed in a human subject. Pixel still does a few odd things at times, but 7/10 times I think it does well enough I wouldn't be hunting for settings for a retake. That's amazing, because it almost nullifies carrying any other cameras except for an action cam or something video specific-- To be fair on that front- I think Iphone still shoots the best videos if you don't need large format, just shooting a youtube clip etc. Hard to complain, they have it dialed it.
i really hate apple 14 pro max pictures. very dissapointing for the money spent

Great to see people finally acknowledging iphones shortcomings and pixels superiority. I've been saying it for a while now but usually when they do this test they all chose Iphones but these pro photographers know whats up clearly.
I also have realised this some time ago, i have the galaxy m51 with a gcam (google camera software) and the iPhone 13 pro max i was taking photos of a weeding last year and i give up using the iphone because it made everyone look orange just like the simpsons and even without google software the galaxy has the colors spot on and a better dynamic range also later in that month i went to a party and it's incredible how people go crazy with the iPhone photos but i was using google software on the m51 and i got better results basicaly every time in the photos, by that day i only use the iPhone to record videos
The fact that the one that depends the most on post-processing is the one that's processed the most natural, incredible work by the Pixel!
LMAO Max Tech really took MKBHD video so personal Hahahaha

@@StonedNoob Haha exactly. apple fanboy was hurt.
I can't be a more proud pixel user.
Love your blind camera videos and so glad you brought on some new people to the mix !
13:25 he says the right one was the worst but it's actually the left one that's the worst. It's blown out, paddle no shadows and muted colors. The right one was a bit bright on the skin but it has a more natural realistic look. The center has great shadows and colors but it's a bit warm, although that makes the center picture pop the most.
Pixel is for the professionals. What a great video this is
Great video. It would be really interesting if you did this again but also took the same shots with a real camera and compared those to the smartphones.
Ok so this video is proof that MKBHD is right and this channel is an iPhone Biased. Also it proofs again that MKBHD is right by making the pixel number 1 Camera.
I guess my only disappointment with this is that it ignores the telephoto shots. It seemed that in order to try and keep some fairness, the focus was only on shots all of them could achieve. How about a 30x zoom shot to see how they compare. As a parent, I am constantly in the audience of my child's performances where telephoto is key. While there were a couple of telephoto shots, it was generally ignored.
Made a whole video opposing Marques only to prove him right 😂

I don't understand the discussion about which camera is the best. The photos I have from the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 10s and 20s are all great. Oh yeah and before the 70's from my dad. The atmosphere that the old photos show is just great. It doesn't always have to be better. The moment you capture is much more important.
So, it doesn't matter at all which phone you choose.
Choose one of the brands you like the most and it's okay
What if the manufacturers looked at a video like this and said: hey, let’s fix that in our next big OS upgrade?
This is one of the reasons we subscribe and watch this channel. I'd like to get an iPhone, but if the Pixel costs 2/3 the price with this performance, it's hard to justify the iPhone's price.
You should've added cinematic mode videos and stabilized videos in the comparison too
It is disappointing when it comes to the iPhone 14 Pro 😬. Bigger sensor/megapixel count jump was probably too big of a jump for their processing.
The results didn't surprise me at all. I have a 14 Pro Max and am seriously considering an android solely for still photos. If the Pixel 7 offered full manual shooting, I'd pick one up in a second.
For good videos android is better as well, motioncam can shoot raw video
You can probably get a 3rd party app for manual shooting
@@doubtable6153 you can, there are some great apps for that.

Same issue brother the looks soo harsh and over sharper
same here
@@chaahatkhan3395 noticed as well that the processing got worse, the sharpening is wayyy too much.
You can shoot proraw or use Lightroom to shoot bayer raw so there’s no sharpening
We just looked through my wifes photos, and she’s had all the IPhones. She’s never used anything else. But quite frankly, the pictures that she took with the 11, is better than the pics with the 13 and 14. Sure, not in all scenarios. But in the scenarios that most people take pictures.
I love the way the comparison was done, good job with the pro-photographer
THERE YOU HAVE IT, AGAIN. Catastrophic overprocessing on iPhone 14 AND REMEMBER, 12Pro & 13Pro looked much worse in Max's Test😓
Are you trying to defend the S22? This is an unbiased test and votes are coming from professional photographers and they picked the S22 the least. Both Samsung and Apple were beaten by the Pixel again. In both MKBHD’s test votes coming from mostly casual users and then in this test votes coming from professional photographers.
@@omxga1270 I'm only talking about the actual iPhone Situation... The JPEGs are very plastic looking today, really hate them. iPhone Jpegs 5 Years ago looked much more natural. Best Thing could happend, that big UA-camrs mark this Problem now.
@@mixdown78 Oh I just misunderstood what exactly you were pointing at. Sorry about that. I agree. Even my iPhone 7 could compete with my iPhone 13 right now. I just is a bit more grainy but otherwise, the processing looks great sometimes even better.
@@omxga1270 :-) no Problem. totally Agree, i start noticing that beginning of the iPhone 12 Series, there was a huge (bad) change, and now it's going very public thankfully. The Pictures from my 13 just doesn't look real sometimes.. and your shocked when you see a pic taken from a real Photocamera next to it. I removed the Camera App from it's prominent position ... Best thing you could now (if Pics have value for you) is to take them with LR App in Professional Mode as Workaround to skip all Apple Bullsh(/&%§t Processing at the moment. Cheers
@@mixdown78 Thats exactly what im trying to do as well. Ive been practicing LR Mobile and I think with enough practice it will look great. I still look back to my iPhone 7 pics and they look incredible. Somehow there's almost the same amount of grain yet the HDR is much better than now, colors were more correct, less over saturated etc. A lot of phones messed up their processing. I wouldn't call the iPhone's processing "very over processed" but I don't like how saturated, vibrant, over sharpened it can be sometimes. Also, whenever i try to get a quick shot, almost all the time if I dont check the exposure, the sky ends up being very overexposed.
iPhone camera has been overrated for years, Pixel has been the best since before it was the Pixel. My old Nexus 5X blew the iPhone 6s out of the water in camera quality back in 2015. I had them both that year as my family switched mobile carriers. If Apple didn't have this rabid fanbase everyone would've realized much sooner.
I just absolutely love your content!! Such great videos!!
Being an iPhone user for years now, it was easy to tell which were shot (without editing) with the iPhone because it tends to be famous for the greener tint of images and somewhat of an over exposure in darker areas, I was shocked however, with the Pixel overall.
It would be great if they made a comparison of the iPhone formats of the normal format and the pro raw format to see how much the quality changes
was thinking the same thing
majority of the people buying the iphone will be using standard mode, and normal people wouldn't want to spend time editing photos so this was the perfect case scenario.
It would be better, even if the others had RAW on as well. That is, until the s23 ultra comes out lol (with up to date camera hardware) they should be pre similar
@@FangOG Many people who buy an iPhone do it for the camera and to have the best possible quality in both video and photography. If you are a person who likes to upload photos to social networks, which I think most people make it obvious, you are a person who will edit their photos as you like the most to upload them later to social networks, it should be noted that only when you use pro raw is when you use the new 48 mp and that is where you get more detail and information in the photo and it is the video that I would like to see that tests the pro raw format and so people who may not know how to use it will know how to use it
@@huntno the competition for the s23 ultra is the next iPhone 15 pro Max here they are testing the best phones of 2022 and I understand that the iPhone is the only device that allows you to take raw photos with the highest sensor quality the other devices let you take in raw but not with the maximum quality of the main sensor
15 - iPhone 14 Pro Max
15 - Pixel 7 Pro
10 - S22 Ultra
With these kinds of tests, iPhones and Pixels almost always end up with a tie for me. In my opinion though, iPhones perform best across different conditions-be it good/harsh/low light photography and videography-resulting in a more reliable camera. However, the margin of differentiation is diminishing for these phones that you can't really go wrong with whichever phone you pick.
I have seen so many comparison videos and all differ. Some have the s22 ultra wiping the floor with the competition. Others, like this video have the s22 ultra struggling.
It's purely down to each individual and how our eyes view the shots/pictures taken.
I have the s22 ultra and I can positively say it is a very good camera and video camera. I've taken various shots using all of the lenses and for the most part I'm impressed. With time, the various updates will improve the cameras on all the top end phones, one would assume.
I have to say S22U is overrated. Video is terrible and have had frames skip. Motion blur and shutter lag still evident.
@@mrkring1526 I've had none of that. The 4k & 8k video shooting is superb.
I think the main reason is that the s22 has 2 different processor options and depending on the country you get one or another, that makes a big difference in camera, I was just thinking that anyone in the comments mentioned it. Would love to know what s22 they have and would love to get my hands on a pixel one day too.
@Nícolas Silva I have the s22 ultra with the Exynos chip. I'm in England where we are one of several countries to have that particular chip. Apparently samsung are not keen on it and they are sticking with the snapdragon chipset. Why we don't get that is beyond me.
I think you should have them do the MKBHD blind photo test and see how that goes with 16 phones in the mix!
I think the time it takes to take night pics can be either reduced or increased in the night sight slider. It varies from 2secs to I think 10secs
Can you please always get these kinda unbiased people for the comparisons rather than having apple fanboys and fangirls?
Can you do an unbiased comparison between 48mp proraw, 108mp expert raw and pixel 7 pro's 50mp mode (which doesn't allow you to shoot in 50mp btw)
Considering the price, it's insane google tuned the software so good.
I have a pixel 7 pro and installed the gcam 8.7 APK - highly highly recommended. You have even more control over many aspects of the camera, especially HDR+ and white balance.
Google AI does adapt over time, btw . Mine was producing photos that's were way too blue/cold at first. So I had the temp and exposure sliders active, and adjusted the temp to warmer most times. But now it's learned my preference and I don't really need the sliders anymore
I have been working as a professional photographer since 2001, and throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to use iPhones starting from the IPhone 3 model. At that time, Apple's algorithms were far superior to those of its competitors. However, I stopped shooting with smartphones in 2017, so I cannot provide an assessment on their performance since then.
After watching the video, I was truly impressed by the capabilities of these three smartphones. Each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses. I would be particularly interested in testing them using an app that allows for full manual controls. This way, I could assess how differently each smartphone measures light and try to match their results manually.
Based on my observations, if my priority is shooting videos, I would overlook the Pixel and focus on the other two options. When it comes to photography, both the Pixel and the iPhone offer compelling features. Personally, I would lean towards the iPhone because of its familiarity to me. While the Pixel exhibited some flaws in processing bokeh and shadows in a couple of photos, it outperformed the iPhone in other situations by a significant margin. It truly surprised me.
Regarding the Samsung, the video showcased its impressive capabilities. However, I am not particularly fond of the overprocessed look of the photos. In my opinion, the mixture of yellow and magenta colors is not accurate, and the photos often appear oversharpened.
In conclusion, based on what I have seen, these three smartphones are incredible tools. Once you become accustomed to their strengths and weaknesses, you can compensate for any shortcomings in post-processing. They offer tremendous potential for capturing stunning images, and with the right adjustments, their output can rival that of mid range consumer dedicated cameras.
Thank you for the video.
Watching this on my new pixel 7 pro....happy to see it took the win but I think it all comes down to the photographer given the phones are all pretty good
That's why this is subjective. I didn't agree with almost every pic these "professional" photographers thought about.
Didn't expect the Pixel to be this good.
It's unbelievable .... The 2 "pro photographers" didn't mention that the pic @12:25 should have been disqualified. The middle pic doesn't have the "direct sun effect" ... Come on guys we expect more ... :D
No surprises. The pixel is a gem. 🔥
its been 3 years since I have been telling ppl (as a person who has used Pixel, Samsung and iphone) that iphones have been dethroned in terms of photography.
But ppl just didn't believe me.
Now this and the Blind Camera test of MKBHD just proves it.
Samsung needs to improve, but I will still take Samsung photos over iphone.
Though iphone is still unbeatable in terms of Video. NO DOUBT, in that.
Two professional photographers and apple fans who know perfectly well which phone took which photos picks the best photos in a 'blind test'. A very good test.🤣
I always use lightroom mobile for pretty much any cellphone photo I take, that I post... so I didn't care about which images had the best colors. I focused on image quality, dynamic range, and exposure. I picked the Pixel almost every time! Think I know what phone I'm getting next!

Samsung's photos are always catered to look 'more pristine' even though it actually is unnatural but to common people, it looks good.
Spectacular work! This even shows that professionals have subjective taste when it comes to photography.
Oh damn how all good picture quality from all three. I myself am an iPhone 13 Pro Max user, of course the best photos come in sunlight, but night photography is also very convincing. The iPhone's cameras are really good, but what I like the most is the app, it's really simple to use and hasn't bugged once during my use. But smartphone cameras can do really well and I can't wait to see what the next years will bring to cameras
Nice job, Pixel! Hoping they keep improving video quality for when I eventually upgrade my Pixel 7 Pro.
Surprising! I actually find it kinda sad that iphone is processing their pics more and more. I liked the natural and soft tones so much.
pixel just killed it
