The Pixel is giving the S24 a bigger run for it's money than I was expecting!

Thank you for doing this video. It helps. I’m looking to upgrade soon from an iPhone 11 and have been trying to decide between these two phones.

Both have excellent camera systems, but for photos I would give the Pixel the crown. For videos however, the S24U is a clear winner. The Pixel has too much low light noise and it's zoomed video can be unpleasantly jittery on occasions. It has a little too much contrast in some scenarios also, giving it's video an almost cartoon like appearance.

The pixel is much better in lowlight photo!

Awesome video! Can't wait to get the Pixel 8 pro!

Got to thank you. This is exactly the comparison I needed with these cameras. Of course there's more to consider with these two, but camera performance is my main concern, being that I am replacing my dslr with one of these. To my eye most of these examples favor the S24, however the Pixel definitely returns better results in some conditions. Thanks again for your excellent work.

A very informative video but I think the sound needs levelling/optimising. It's very hard to hear some of the live dialogue, which may indicate that both phones' microphones are not up to scratch but more likely that you just need a bit more editing.

For the price you can buy a Pixel 8 Pro there is no competition here. I couldn't find even one situation where Samsung makes better photos. Pixel color science and computational photography are unmatched. (I know it is subjective nevertheless)

[gauthamarun]

Okay the Pixel 8 Pro completely beats the S24 here. It's evident Samsung has an entirely different approach with their colour science, and some shots seem unnecessarily soft even though they shouldn't be. Google's processing is still unrivaled!

Tbh i love the videography in Samsung especially the transition

[cabletow]

Swimming against the tide of opinion here, I think the Samsung is sharper and has more detail at night. The Pixel is brighter but is a little overblown. The Pixel HDR is better, yes, but the Samsung has the more pleasing photos. The only thing I would say the Pixel is mostly better at is your skin tone in the daytime.

If the batteries on pixels weren’t trash pixel would be the easy choice

[paulk]

Just got the pixel pro 8 and when shooting in 50mp there is a couple of seconds delay, does the S24 Ultra have this same delay when shooting maximum pixels mode?

[YgorCortes]

The Galaxy looks SUPER HAZY in low light in this comparison, let's hope Samsung improved this

[eduard]

Please do a comparison with the X7 Ultra. It can definitely compete with these

[np_natali]

can you do the comparison of Oneplus12 with Iphone 15 pm?

So happy samsung finally turned down the saturation and brightness for more natural looking photos. This is the first year I don't hate the samsung photos, especially in comparison with the pixel photos

[DeePop-tmeo]

I had the pixel 8 pro yes the pictures are brighter but that can some times turn out bad when taking a pic when its already bright with alot of sun light!, or making a night pic look too bright !. I now have the s24 ultra and tbh unless you comparing side by side you'll be happy with either phone both have great cameras!! 👍

[markpalmos]

I'd say pixel 8pro colour is definitely more natural, but for "serious" photography I shoot B&W mostly, and s24u seems a tad sharper in some situations. Having said that, the exposure range (faux HDR) is better on the pixel, shadow and extreme highlight details are better than on s24u. I have the 8pro an am side-grading to s24u next week mostly due to the pixels having some intermittent screen freeze issue with Nova Launcher, which I much prefer over any other launcher and will not stop using. Otherwise I would stick with the 8pro... both superb phones/cameras with their own unique extra bits... and at the price, 8pro is unbeatable.

Love pixel 8 pro photos but im really bothered by the choppy transitions between lenses during zoom....
