The Pixel4 was ahead of it's time. It got a bad rap because of the battery life but it had a ton of features that don't even show up on the Pixel 8 or still missing on flagships. If you turn some of them off, the battery is fine. It was a flagship phone back in the day. It's a phone that still deserves getting security updates, it's too good to turn into ewaste.
Great video! Basically, in the past, you didn't want to take pictures with your phone because the pictures weren't pretty compared to professional cameras. Now the photos are too sharp and artificial that the only way to enjoy photos from phone is to shoot in RAW so you reduce that effects, but our phones don't have enough capacity for that. HAHA. The iPhone does the same thing unfortunately, but the oversharpening is much much lower. They need to change this ASAP! Another thing that is obvious from this video is that phones don't need to come out every single f****ng year! 😅
Really happy to see you do this video. I got a Pixel 4a recently to compare it to my Pixel 7 pro. Because i had been having the same thought, the camera quality has gotten worse. Especially Portraits and Night mode, Google was the king of both these modes. But both have gotten worse over the last 3 generations.
Marc Levoy who was google's computational photography wizard left google in 2020, I think that's why newer Pixel's hasn't been as amazing when it comes to photography
Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro take fantastic portraits with Periscope/Zoom lens, no need for Portrait Mode and fake bokah. To take decent portraits with Portrait Mode use only 1X (with retouching off) which is actually 2X, and 2X option is actually 3X, it is digital crop of a main sensor, so it turns out with extremely digital and edge detection basically becomes impossible to be accurate at all. So obviously it does not compete with dedicated 2X or 3X telephoto lenses for Portrait Mode, like P4, new iPhones or Samsungs. but it takes amazing portraits with 5X. With that said, Marc Levoy leaving Google after P4 line made Google Camera progress slow down big time, he was responsible for all the camera engineering and this computational software.
What would have been great for you to do is to use the 7 pro's 5x telephoto lens, and then put the portrait effect on it and the photographs are very professional
The 5x lens is impractical in most situations for portrait and I find it tends to take very, very soft images. AND the autofocus on it isn't great either.
i sometimes hate the edge detection on google camera, i much rather prefer to add portrait effect on the gallery which lets me control intensity and depth.
Finally someone made a video, qs a pixel 3xl user at past, i had the same feeling, from 2 to 7 on portrait mode , google hadn't improved at at all, it looks so fake and over sharpened, when i zoon at my face , it makes me sad, too much over sharpness and very bad edge detection, now im a iphone xs max user, its sooo so much better on portrait mode, i only take portrait mode most of the time, 80% . Google should have a 2 or 3x lens for portrait mode, that digital zoom is so bad, i would definitely buy if this happens because im a android lover, bought iphone just for that portrait mode
As much as I love my Pixel 7 Pro (and its camera system), portrait mode has to be its main weakness. Lukcy for me, I have a workaround of switching it to 5x and then taking a photo, which makes it a million times better. Still, having a dedicated portrait mode which is this bad, is bad for google.
Loved this video!!!! I desperately hope Google listens to you. Also, Googles software processing has been using on Google photos and Google camera. I bet the processing looked better on the pixel 4 and 3 longer so than it does now.
Dude, I was just complaining a few days ago to a friend how fried they made the latest camera app. Its bogus, and outputs overly denoised mashed potato looking images. Whats worse, even the raw images took a big hit in detail and quality, they are no where near as good as the raw images it output at launch, and even worse so when the pixel 6 launched. IDK who's running the camera department over at google but Im convinced that bozo has never touched an actual camera before. You know what I've been doing for images that I have time to setup and think about? Using the built in camera in the lightroom mobile app, it takes amazing images in raw and even has an "experimental HDR" mode that does really great. Give that a try and let me know what you think!! Motion Cam Pro is also a great photo app and outputs really great RAW images. I can't wait until Adobe releases their upcoming camera app. Marc Levoy, who pioneered a lot of the pixel camera app processes is heading up that app so it should be very special.
I was searching for that particular thing, *the over sharpening* on Pixel 7 Pro, it's really annoying and I thought of selling my phone because of it! thanks for the amazing Video and hope they will come with a fix.
The Ridiculous oversharpening on portrait mode was the reason i sold my Pixel 7 Pro.. So disappointed its strongest point which was on the P4 & P6 too became its weakest one on the 7. Pleased you made this video addressing this Annoyance with what used to be the wow factor owning a Pixel.
@@LeeZavitz Looking forward to your professional opinion of the new Pixel 7a with its new 64mp camera. Your the 1st person i thought of when all the reviews came out.
the one thing is, the step between each generation are getting way more smaller and not as big as we used to, 5 - 8 years back... remember the difference between an iphone 4 & 5, or 7 & 8, an Pixel 2 & 3 and so on. Now an Iphone 12 Pro is for sure not as good as an Iphone 14 Pro, but the step between is not so extreme.
Yes for some reason Google has a problem with portrait mode since Pixel 6 series. I have both of 7 Pro and 4XL and I still prefer portraits of the 4XL.
Great video Too funny the making off! And yes we are more and more to see that strangely the old models are almost better But maybe it's due to this change of strategy, i.A. switching to AI / coding mode, rather than basic sensor / lens quality And also the obligation to release every 6 months a novelty that does not allow time to be developed correctly when it is released. It's crazy to think that after 2 years, the device finally gives good results, just before its commercial withdrawal Even if we are on a video of the Pixel, I have the same observation on the samsung ... Do you agree on this point?
So the 6a is the last phone to use the old sensor but with the new processor. I think that comparison with the 7 pro would be awesome! MKBHD did a blond test for all phones and the 6a actually won!
Started my photography journey officially on a pixel 3 and people couldn't believe it was a shot on a phone. Used my pixel 7 pro 2 weeks and I had to return it for an iPhone 14 pro. I couldn't deal with how disappointing the portrait mode was. I'm a huge pixel fanboy and I'm sad using an iPhone and missing out on some of my favourite features on pixel phones but until the camera gets good again I'll be 😢 sticking to the iPhones
They are struggling with the new sensor to do portrait mode for some reason. Been 18 months and they still haven't fixed it. I still prefer my 7 though, because it is incredible for everything else, and personally, I don't use portrait mode
You have option to smooth out skina when you drop down menu from top in portrait mode , i always choose second option it a nice balance between , it's called face retouch and set it you subtle ❤, enjoy
@@LeeZavitz i own pixel 6 pro and i wish they give option to choose between main & telephoto lens for potrait mode although normal shots also have some short of Bokeh using telephoto lens but lacks wide angle looks 🥲 and very nice content keep it up 🔥😍
the reasoning for pixel 4 being the best portrait mode shooter for the pixel line is because it uses the 2x telephoto lens as a depth sensor. however if one doesn't use portrait mode then it's pointless. the 6 pro has the best telephoto lens and is essentially a portrait mode on it's own
Until last August, I had a Pixel 2XL. Had that for a long time because I really liked it. Now, I have the Pixel 6 and I swear the Pixel 2XL took better photos. I can't compare video because I didn't really shoot any with the Pixel 2XL. But, I'm definitely not really thrilled with the Pixel 6 images.
Someone sent me a folder of pixel 2XL portrait mode shots and I was blown away. This is what prompted me to make this video because I wasn’t impressed with portrait mode and I remember it being way better on pixel phones
You can actually get much better detailed shots without much of the processing if you take some time to set up a modded gcam on pixels. As like all other stock apps, google too does a lot of unnecessary oversharpening
Thanks for this video really amazing how the older generation of phones is still good in 2023 I'm using the samsung note 10 lite and its pretty impressive just the over exposure is still a problem otherwise good
The pixel4 is also still really snappy and runs great. Thin phone with almost no camera bump. Oled display. Great cameras. It’s a steal. I only paid $200 for it
@Lee Zavitz yes agree with you and what's your thought on the 200mp S23 ultra is the portrait mode worth the upgrade from an older phone like the note 20 ultra
I went to that lineage os(with the google apps mind the gapps zip package) train and for me its working better. And PS I'm not a sponser or developer of it. I bought an unlocked pixel 7 pro to use custom roms. I also tried calyx os for microg and go back and forth.
Honestly you can also use the 2x it crops the 50mp sensor and its great during the day and afternoon but wouldn't recommend using it at night since the pixel bining isnt in use and the pixel size drops from 2.4 microns to 1.2 and i have tested every way and every mode on the 7 pro so trust me its no good at night 80% of the time since the details arent there from the extra noise reduction! Also that doesn't just zoom and crunch up everything like in portrait mode plus u get a 50mm equivalent wheres the 1x in portrait mode gives u a 35mm and the 2x button does give you a 75mm equivalent so using the normal 3x just combines the 2x sensor crop with the 5x and if you look for it you can see the difference where the pictures are stiched together but its not a big deal! The detail looks much more natural if you use the 2x and 3x from the normal camera and add the portrait effect later in Google photos... Fyi if you use the portrait mode just use the face retouching feature it smooths all the imperfections the extra sharpness brings out on faces but hair remains the same and u have a subtle and smooth option if your lazy and dont feel like editing every picture on your own so for social media it does the job...hope this helps somebody😅
I've deafly noticed this with my pixel 4XL way. Better photos on my seven pro. I did have a six pro which was a small upgrade. The 4XL has the best camera in my opinion I don't know what they've done to it
The selling point for Pixel was the camera but they lose it, I can't find any other reason to buy Pixel over Galaxy S23 or iPhone now. I hope they fix the software soon
I have no idea. I’ve never used one. Google didn’t send me one for review. If enough people ask for a video I would consider buying one to make Content
@lee Hopefully if you turn the face retouch settings on, that would help with the crunchy details you pointed out in the portrait shots you took with the 7 pro. I'm sure you're busy but if you do happen to test this again with that setting I would watch that video :) maybe it can be a short lol
So disappointed so far with my new 7 pro. I can't understand the lack of manual control. What's really got me peeved is the lack of key words for voice activated shooting. When you use the Google command, it resets your zoom. My old Note 10 plus you just had to say cheese, or use the pen. Guess I should've looked into that a little more. Anyone know a way around these issues?
My 7 pro has AWFUL post processing, every photo I take especially of my 8 month old son turn out horrible. It makes him look pale, see through and almost dead looking. How can I hack the phone to turn off the POS processing!? And when can we expect a fix and why the hell can I not find thousands of users complaining about this BS!?
I'm using a Pixel 7 Pro, but wow, I was actually shocked when I saw the iPhone's photo @2:48. It looks incredible compared to the Pixels, I mean that's a completely different league. Google really has a lot of work to do. Awesome video by the way, thanks for addressing this issue.
I got the pixel 7 pro and xperia 1 iv, the xperia will win in any situtuation as long as its not low light. The minute you start to get below sunset it becomes a snow storm and has got worse in the past 2 updates.
it's a preference thing , for me i don't like the smooth protrait mode on the samsung galaxy s23 ultra or the iphone i really love the sharpness i found on the pixel 7 pro , it's something that i really like about these pixel photos and if i were to get more sharpness i just switch to non portrait mode or get my edit on the gallery , it's as simple as that
Рік тому
Je suis tellement déçu d'avoir acheter un Pixel 7 pro.... les photo sont modifiées automatiquement et c'est désastreux...
As a phone maybe but the main cameras are basically identical. The big difference is that the pixel 4 had the tele lens and the pixel 5 removed that for an ultra wide
Let’s hope pixel 8 has fixed portrait mode so it can be the champ once again. After this video I don’t think google will send me a phone ever again for review 😅

This man is the best mobiles'cameras reviewer
This is the video that made Google stop sending me phones. If they can’t take criticism I don’t even wanna make reviews on their stuff anymore.
I was a die hard loyal pixel user from pixel 2 to pixel 6 .. so disappointed at 6 now using samsung s23 ultra and very happy with portrait mode
The s23u portrait mode is the best I’ve used in any phone so far

Google please take notes
I think 4xl is much better..
4xl is almost 3-4 years old phone but It's camera quality is similar with 7 pro
Newer pixel photo didn't give me WOW factor like when I saw pixel 3xl...
I don't know it's about the quality or my eyes used to see pixel algorithm
What about your face retouch settings in the Camera. With the pixel 7 they turned it off by default. I believe the pixel 4 had it on by default.
Both were off
@lee Hopefully if you turn the face retouch settings on, that would help with the crunchy details you pointed out in the portrait shots you took with the 7 pro. I'm sure you're busy but if you do happen to test this again with that setting I would watch that video :) maybe it can be a short lol

So disappointed so far with my new 7 pro. I can't understand the lack of manual control. What's really got me peeved is the lack of key words for voice activated shooting. When you use the Google command, it resets your zoom. My old Note 10 plus you just had to say cheese, or use the pen. Guess I should've looked into that a little more.

You have to shoot raw and edit the pictures. Otherwise there is no way to stop the processing it does
