Pixel for photo 🏆 iPhone for video 🏆 Google's video processing is still too harsh, iPhone photos are still too green, not very well balanced and lacking detail.

[JunoTheFusky]

No idea why but it seems like the iPhone photos are more tinted Green and the Pixel photos are more tinted Red, it's very interesting to see

Without video boost, the Iphone has better low-light videos and stabilisation.

Finally, Pixel is the neck to the neck of the Iphone & superior in overall image processing. But Google needs to do improvement for the stability & smooth panning in 5x telephoto lens.

Does Pixel offer HEVC video and HEIF images? Can you also include the files sizes on both phones.??

[NeilBorg]

- Pixel clear winner in Main camera and Zoom photography
- iPhone clear winner in Video stability especially zoomed in.

Surprisingly close in night photos and video quality but Pixel still has that awful panning jitter.

Excellent comparison as always

[skymitch]

Which one captured pics that looked more realistic?

[jace]

Pixel for the photos(except for portrait shots) and iPhone for the videos.

[thohru]

Pixel videos are lagging and iphone is smoother while making movement and transiting. But picture, pixel does better in many situations than iphone.

не знаех, че в БГ вече го има! От къде мога да си го взема?

The iPhone does better in Night Time Video. I’ve Noticed

[ElMartilloBlanco]

Pixel photos look red, iPhone photos look green. Personally, I think the Pixel still looks better though. I like how the Pixel brightens up the shadows more, and they're more colorful in general while not being as saturated as Samsung.

The iPhone is definitely better for video though. I don't like the idea of having to rely on Google's Video Boost, because you'll probably have to start paying for it eventually, whether that be for the service itself or for Google Photos storage.

[piyushdimri]

Google need to improve the panning jiiters and stabilization in videos specially at night time otherwuse on par with iphone even better video clarity.

[Salman-boss]

pixel wins easily .. that is strange to see, google made the best android of 2024, its a big achievmet

[fanecuffy]

Iphone green tint, pixel magenta tint..

[anesusikipa]

iPhone is always the best thats why you always compare it with those small phones

[ArroDon]

Lol I phone 🤳 looking a bit washed out. Compared to pixel. Done a good job Google. And I like samy phones )

[markshirley]

Video is still nicer on the iPhone. Plus the iPhone has PAL settings

[aryanchowdary]

Pixel is better at photos, but looks too processed. iPhone looks more accurate.
