Honestly these cameras are beginning to be so good it's hard to say one is bad. If someone took only the s8 pics and put them in a wallpaper app most people would be in awe. Same goes for note 8, iPhone 8, pixel, etc. So basically if you have a newer phone you're good no matter what you get

"If we look at his hair.... which is a bit of a mess" - Let's hope that guy doesn't watch this video xD

I am a S8 owner and very satisfied with the overall image quality but wow the Pixel 2 is even better! very impressed

[renurai]

The pixel really does manage to beat S8 but with a very slight margin... and I preferred the night time photos of the S8

[Dumauch]

Luckily some of those issues on the s8 can be corrected using pro mode.

[TheAnthonychris]

Pixel 2 has a better camera but the S8 is a better phone in general, especially when it comes to the display.

[AllPr]

You have to turn down the exposure on the pixel to get much better results at night in photos and videos.

You guys just can't understand how crazy Asian women is to make their selfies more attractive, and they don't care about whether the selfie is real or not all they care about is how bright and smooth their skin is and how small their face looks. Samsung did this for a reason.

Thanks for the video, very informative and helpful - was a pretty fair test and I did notice all the problems / annoyances I have with my S8 (red/yellow saturation, light leading to over exposure, distance / range). Would argue that the alias / jagged parts are subjective - I've always assumed that meant the picture was sharper and clearer in details (than the Pixel 2). I have to concur that the selfie mode is unbelievable on the Pixel 2; there are so many differences that I would choose the Pixel 2 for selfies instead. S8 does take much nicer selfies in daylight, but the night time shot was accurate of how they tend to turn out.

Excellent comparison work, good choice of pictures. Although the Pixel was mostly better (except at night) they are really close and the s8 has far too many other advantages.

I was gonna sell my s8+ for a pixle but I dont think so, i actually like the saturated colors of the s8. It does take good night shots.

[MorriganJade]

I've found out that HDR+ forced enabled makes great picture in good light, while HDR+ Auto works best for indoor and low light situations. (Tested on Nexus 5X)

[TheRealMafoo]

1.7 vs 1.8 takes in 12% more light. That's not insignificant, and would account for the better night shots.

[markforeman]

All I know is the camera is amazing and simple to use on my Pixel 2 XL. Google constantly improves the software with the latest and greatest throughout the years. Keeping things fresh and exciting. The phone that keeps on giving.

[shlk]

Please do a video on the different HDR modes in different scenarios! Thanks!

[wascarg]

These cameras are really tough to determine a clear winner. even the one is better shot you have to look at it like 20 times for you realized what’s missing on the other one . I don’t think there is a phone out there that we can say wow that’s the best camera, Tough
Great work

[harrisonmalone]

Damn that last one of the two guys drinking beers was incredibly different... so much smoother on the video too

[wascarg]

I would like to see a video comparison with the note 8 , IPhone X and the pixel XL 2. I want a camera review and a battery review between those 3 .

[roeshak]

I'd say the s8 because you can improve things with the blown out highlights even in auto mode by tapping to focus and then dropping the exposure slider while on the pixel you're stuck with the noisy murky night shots. The pixel has much better hdr processing so performs better in full auto but all in all of go with the s8. You can easily do something about the blown out highlights but not much you can do about the pixels lowlight performance.

[jiriq]

I am an S8 fan, but got to admit, photos from the Pixel 2 are just mindblowing.... Hopefully we will see something simmilar with the S9!
