There was a very slight improvement with the Pixel 8 on the night sight, but the difference is not enough to justify the $200 price difference. The cameras are nearly identical. Thanks so much for posting this video. The camera is the thing that I consider the most heavily when I need to purchase a phone, so this was very helpful for me. Thanks so much!

Algo me dice que el pixel 8a tenia activa la opción de gama de colores p3 y el 8 no

Both thumbs up for your work! A very clean, comprehensive & nicely made comparison. The "8" is truly much better under low light on both front cameras and that's what I am looking for.

Thanks a ton for this comparison!!!! Camera is one of my most important phone features (but not enough to justify the $$$ and size of the 8 Pro lol) . 8a looks slightly better to me and I can compromise on losing out on pixel 8 features (I never wireless charge for example). The money I'll save can go towards saving up for a real camera! Appreciate you making this in depth video!

Could you please do outdoor brightness test? Phones turning off their brightness after 5 min, oneplus 12 dont.

Looks like the Pixel 8 has much more realistic skin tones compared to the 8a.

The one issue I've had with pixels is their colors and over sharpening on people's skin. The 8a seems to fix this issue I love the warmer slightly more vibrant tones it really gives life to the picture. The 8 looks very dull and dead by comparison, it's tone is too cold and over sharpening details on skin that shouldn't be. Overall the 8a wins it looks like an iPhone took those pictures

The 8a looks like it has more accurate colors
