Google Pixel 8 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Test Comparison

It's good to have these super thorough tests. It almost seemed for the first few minutes like the Pixel was mopping the floor, surpisingly, but there's definitely some redeeming aspects on the iPhone still. I'm most surprised by it's zoom prowess since it's gone so quickly from Samsung as the zoom king, to the Pixel, and now I guess the iPhone though there's a few Chinese oem phones I feel like can beat all of those. I'm susprised you didn't mention how bizarre and robotic the iPhone looked using that stabilization though. That was so weird CGi unnatural looking lol!

Pixel more details on image/video.
Pixel camera always catchy

I loved the photos more on the standard iphone 15 than on the pro models!!

Honestly, I think both phones did a good job with their cameras. It just comes to down to your personal preference

Who uses a 5x zoom for portraits?? I think apple completely dropped the ball by nerfing the 3x zoom for a 5x. What is 5x even good for?

Fantastic review

Does anyone have an explanation why the google pixel 8 is missing the cinematic recording mode (blurred background) with the selfie cam?

Pixel has more details in pictures

Спасибо за сравнение камер.

Hum surprising this pixel pro supremacy as DXO crowned the iPhone 15 pro max compared to all other photo phones… let’s see how things evolve

Well done👍
✌️✌️🇪🇭

S23 ultra is better than pixel 8 pro. It has better battery, better screen, better performance, camera on many things are better, especially zoom, and of course it has an awesome spen, and real multitasking. One ui 6 is smoother with better animations too... Samsung Dex is really cool too!!! I thought it was a gimmick before i try it but its not!!! But of course im gonna change my s23 ultra with the best 2024 phone. Thats of course s24 ultra...

Goood

S23 ultra is better than both of this, on expert raw with auto settings...

Google Pixel Camera Cool

I preferred the Pixel in more shots than I expected, and often in shots where you liked the iPhone.. and I have an iPhone 15 Pro!😂

They put more bullshit in on the name of new ios like when use AirPods click yes when out the case are you serious to use or better unclick from the panel when no

Pixel 8 pro ✅ is million times better than nasty iPhone 15 pro 🤧🤧.

Pixel 8 Pro is best smartphone of 2023👍👍👑👑👑

Pixel's color processing is fantastic.

Pixel 8 pro is best 👍

Thank you for the Video. Question, which one would you recommend for 'Events Videography' in terms of 'capturing music, dancing, experiences between people and Editing it all after to create amazing music videos?' Would it be the latest Google Pixel, Iphone, Samsung, Sony or another smart phone? Creating music videos & film making is key here. Note; most of the events will be at night with various flashing lights. Look forward to your wisdom. Many thanks, Gary

i Got pixel 7 half year ago in sale and im impressed of the camera performance. Usually next gen phone is minor uprage but pixel 8 really seems to be the beast of camera phones.

Well, we don't know which is which but I am super impressed with Pixel 8 Pro's zoom capability. We have a Pixel group in Facebook and they Actually post photos take by thr 8 Pro with that zoom and they are super impressive not the same as what this review is showing. I do think he's trying to swap images take by Pixel to the Iphone. We know how Pixel 8 Pro's camera capability bro so don't try to mess up with your review .😂😂

I love the Pixel but I hate the way it captures people and how it adds contrast and micro contrast to everything, I genuinely dont like it, thats the main reason why my next phone wont be a Pixel, everything else work well.

PD i would love it if google could make a Samsung DEX competitor

wearing two smart watches with supersaf style hahaha

You look like KL Rahul 😂

I don’t understand the face change AI part, it doesn’t make sense, why are taking photos the just generate them using AI🤷‍♂️

Even though pixel made a huge improvement but I am not a fan of samsung gn2 that it has. I still prefer the Sony imx966 sensor that will be coming in OP 12.

Pixel rock's

It may just be me but i prefer how the pixel looks

So Pixel for day time photos and iPhone for videos, night time photos and videos. Nah, I didn't add extended zoom here because if you want that, get an S23 ultra.

My s23 ultra is Superior to both.

Great comparison, thanks!!!

The iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple's flagship smartphone, has sparked significant debate due to a series of notable shortcomings. One prominent issue is the device's tendency to overheat, particularly during extended use, causing discomfort for users and potentially affecting performance. Additionally, the phone's elegant but fragile glass back is susceptible to cracking even from minor falls, raising concerns about its durability and the need for extra precautions.

The display quality, a crucial aspect of any smartphone, has also come under scrutiny. Users have reported burn-in problems, where static images or icons can leave a lasting impression on the screen, impacting the overall visual experience. This issue is particularly disappointing given the premium price tag associated with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Furthermore, the absence of multitasking capabilities, a feature commonly found in smartphones today, limits the device's efficiency for users who rely on simultaneous app usage. The lack of pen support, which has become a standard feature in many high-end smartphones, further restricts its appeal, particularly for professionals and creative individuals who require precise input methods.

Charging options have also raised eyebrows among critics. The iPhone 15 Pro Max lacks both fast wired and wireless charging capabilities, which means users have to wait longer for their devices to charge fully. In a market where fast charging has become a standard feature, this omission is glaring, particularly for users who rely heavily on their devices throughout the day.

Additionally, the presence of a substantial notch at the top of the screen, housing sensors and the front camera, has been widely criticized. In an era where many competitors are striving for bezel-less designs and innovative ways to integrate sensors, Apple's decision to retain the large notch feels outdated and detracts from the device's aesthetic appeal.

However, it's worth noting that some reviewers, especially those affiliated with Apple or who have a strong bias towards the brand, might refrain from highlighting these drawbacks. This selective approach in reviewing can create a skewed perspective for consumers who rely on such opinions to make informed decisions about their smartphone purchases.

In summary, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max boasts Apple's trademark design and some impressive features, its shortcomings, including overheating, a fragile glass back, display burn-in, lack of multitasking, pen support, fast charging, and a large notch, have significantly impacted its overall appeal. Consumers should approach reviews critically, considering both the positives and negatives, to make a well-informed choice about investing in this device.

JPEG on Pixel you can't find elsewhere one any other phone plus a bunch of features exclusive to Pixel, Google is now putting the bar a bit higher, and started taking the video section from iphone where it shines usually, good Job Google you're making a difference

Pixel is just better. They've done it faster than iPhone and cheaper with more features on a better OS. It's a no-brainer at this point imo.

Pixel's images are way too sharp for my taste, it over sharpens I think

Pixel forever , i love it

Nice video but why did you write a curse on the sign you wrote in pen and just remember Jesus Loves You No Matter What Amen✝️❤️✝️

Are you from Bristol?

I think the pixel is better
and there is a 200 $ difference in the price

This felt very biased. All the comments say the pixel was better and you even pointed out something on the pixel when the iPhone was blurring the side of your head at one point. The colors on the pixel are way better. Idk why your saying the iPhone won EVERYTHING. The only the the iPhone won was low light and UW. But guess what, that pixel update to google photos is gonna blow every phone out of the water. I can’t disagree more with this video

I prefer the audio from the iPhone...its natural and real unlike the one from the pixel that somehow sounds like an AI generated

i still prefer the pixel camera.. i dont know why i always think that way.. i always hate colour and what result from apple camera can give to me.. sorry apple fans.. 😁😁

Google has improved a lot in past 2 years. I still remember Pixel 6 Pro and it was a flop device

Pixel crushed the iPhone, smashed the iPhone to the ground

Biased towards iPhone

The pixel 8 Pro is the new King overall. With all the problems recently the iPhone 15 series are a joke and complete garbage. iphone 15 Pro is plagued with several critical issues - construction and overhitting + screen burn in issues and USB c issues so this is a NO/NO for me - worst iphone EVER. I pre-ordered the Pixel 8 Pro and I can wait to have it in my hands. I was never so exited about a phone in the last 5-6 years. I am sick and tired of my old iphone 12 (iphone 15 is the same boring phone as my old 12) and the Pixel will be a great update and a breath of fresh air.
