Google Pixel 6 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro Max - Camera Test Comparison

I think Pixel wins clearly.

I believe the iPhone has the hardware to be the absolute best in the camera phone not just for video. The name of the game is processing. The iPhone has by far the best CPU and more importantly NPU in the game. It is not even remotely close! The NPU in the iPhone is like 2 or 3 times faster than anything android has to offer. Where the iPhone lacks is probably camera hardware.

however google so far has not made any major leap in cameras, instead the iPhone has remained on the same 12 megapixels that you still get in recent years, if you remember even the 2.2xl pixel was quite successful, this year come with many books to approach or even run with Samsung, I think it can not be over apple however I say that some pictures are better than the iPhone 13 pro max

If I think to buy android mobile I will buy Samsung

I like iPhone 13 pro

why do you look so angry😡

is that bridge shot in PA?

iPhone won by a lot imo

Have you updated the camera software on the Pixel to the latest version? I have heard that this should improve the video stabilization a lot.

I need a device with natural photos, look at the Pixel 6 Pro with a very high-quality dynamic range

Damn, that 5000 mah power battery for nothing. iPhones battery blows pixels out of the water. Sad.

I got the iPhone 13 pro max in silver 128gb and I also have an unboxing video on my channel! I love this phone so much!!!!! anyone that's trying to decide which iPhone to get, get the iPhone 13 pro max, you'll love it!!!!!

Why do you want to compare a $899 smartphone with a $1,099 smartphone?

An excellent review of both phones, so much information that I’ll be back and forth with this video to try to be as certain as possible. Having said all that, I still think the Note is very alluring. Very many thanks indeed, a brilliant review!

I have a feeling, Apple is going to copy how the Pixel takes pictures and claim they came out with that idea. Just the way they did it when they came out with their night sight on their iPhone 12. Pixel leads the way in mobile photography.

If you're going to compare zoom do it at the same zoom range. 20x zoom is supposed to look better as it did, but it was up against 15x zoom so take that for what it is.

Pixel is the best

Yeap ... just like I assumed when they announced the new ... Tensor chip ... With good software, Pixel can surpass iPhone in photography, but never in video ..... On the other hand, at least in terms of zoom, they are clearly surpassed by Mi 11 Ultra and S21 Ultra ... And I suppose they have difficulties in other chapters if we compare them with Vivo 70 Pro + or Mi 11 Ultra ... But let's be patient, let's wait for the next software updates to see how much Google will improve performance and photo-video qualities.

I do not recommend the Sakitech review. Super bad.
1. The thumbnail is wrong. Careless mistake but a sign of a lack of attention to detail
2. When he compares macro he uses the stock macro mode on the 13 Pro Max which uses the ultrawide but he uses the 4x zoom on the Google Pixel
3. In the video samples he doesn't film both at once which could lead to difference in conditions
4. On one shot he says he put "3x optical zoom" but the Pixel doesn't have that. Assuming he meant digital it still isn't possible because, iirc, the iPhone automatically switches lenses when you zoom to 3x. So this isn't comparable
5. He also doesn't appear to take the photos all at the same time so comparing is a bit tricky.
6. He compares the cinematic blur and the cinematic panning because they both have cinematic in the name and are software features? Doesn't make sense to me.
Generally a sloppy review.
Just a review of this review I found on reddit

iphone camera is not good, pixel 6pro !!! beautiful!

No phone come close to note 20 ultra 50x zoom.

Sakitech can you use a Rig for doing walking video and photo examples that will allow sync to match better. I think if you do this that one camera would really Pop in trying to choose between them. I can think of a few inexpensive methods using local Hardware store items without having to pay hundreds for professional camera holders. This alone would put you miles ahead of the other YT'ers.

Love your channel and all the work you put into real world examples.

Thx

Photo say 11 pro max wtf

The color looks amazing Pixel 6 Pro. Iphone looks very dull. And the stabilization looks better as well on the Pixel. Just thoughts so far.

Leaf photo….pixel better ….how can you not see that?

The iPhone colors look so dead, you can't go wrong with some vibrancy, like Samsung and pixel just make things better than they actually are

iPhone has more natural colors?

You forgot to say "Pixel" at the beginning. Good camera review!

I AM AMAZED ABOUT HOW GOOGLE MANAGED TO CREATE THIS ABOMINATION OF A LOW LIGHT CAMERA WHEN RECORDING VIDEO, IT'S SOOO BAD, NOT USABLE. IT REMINDS ME OF MY OLD S10+ WHERE I WOULD RANDOMLY GET THOSE GRAINY PIXELS IN LOW LIGHT FOR NO REASON. The only scenario where pixel wins is photos overall, but even there, the iPhone photos are usable. When you compare video, the Pixel samples are just not usable... so overall I would rather have slightly worse photos than a complete unsable night video exeperience.

I think this reviewer is looking for scenarios where the iphone performs better , such as the 3x zoom comparison

I've been always a Samsung Galaxy Note user (so not Apple or Pixel fan) and I was waiting for this, because these two phones are the ones I consider could fit my needs. I can just tell that I am going for the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Photos are very important to me and as I need to catch the colors of the products I sell (daily work) the closest to reality, iPhone is the best I can go for.

Android has excellent cameras, and today warmer colors and sometimes over processed photos are ok for the average use, but I still prefer iPhone, as it is what I need.

What a phone the Pixel 6 Pro! But not this time yet!

I see a lot of people saying that the camera of the Pixel 6 is better. Really? Maybe when you consider its a cheaper phone, but no, let's be honest, iPhone still wins here...

I don't agree about the stabilization, I could tell the visible sway in the iPhone due to walking, the pixel was way smoother

I'll take the pixel.

iPhone wins again. This is why I finally switched to iOS after a decade of Samsung and Nexus/pixel phones. Apple is just consistently excellent.

Super biased with the iPhone. Why use the 3x zoom? Sloppy review.

Terrible review... Sloppy.

I'm on the thumbnail why does it say 11 pro Max instead of 13 pro Max

That narration is awful.

Somehow, I found the pixel better...I don't know how he was saying that iphone was better

Wrong name on thumbnail.

Portait mode the iphone leaned on the green side in the skin tones. Pixel looked much better in my opinion. The pixel camera is just better based on the comparison.

OMG iPhone 13 Pro Max TORCHED the new Pixel 6 Pro in image quality!

What's crazy is you say that the pixel phone colors are a little off but then when I look at the camera your recording with shows the same color as the pixel. As far as your shirt is concerned.

Mistake in the thumnail....written 11pro max

The iPhone is still King when it comes to mobile video.

The color difference is crazy, I would choose the iPhone 13 picture and edit it in photoshop to match the Pixel 6 Pro. It's nice that the Pixel 6 Pro does that in camera.

I don't think anyone in the comment section understands that macro and telephoto photography are 2 different things. Sakitech, I expected you to know better about this.
