Google Pixel 5 vs iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera Comparison By Grant Likes Tech

Pixel 5 iPhone 12 Pro max the best of google, the best of apple, but which has the better cameras, let's find out how's everyone grant here welcome back to another camera comparison video today I have the Google Pixel 5 up against the iPhone 12 Pro max. So this is the very best of google and the very best of apple, so we're going to find out which has the better set of cameras for you, I'm going to show you a bunch of photos and videos in both good and low light conditions like I always do so. You can just for yourself, which has the better set of cameras for your needs. So let's go ahead and take a look at the photos and videos, and I'll come back at the end and let you know what I think about how each of these cameras performed: hey everyone, so we're in the park testing the video on the iPhone 12 Pro max and Google Pixel 5. , starting out with the ultra-wide angle lenses on both. So you can see the field of view here compared to each other.

In this view here and I'll go ahead and switch over to the main angle lens on each, so that is the main wide on the iPhone main wide on the pixel I'll kind of point down here a little. You can see the exposure in the sky adjust as I pan back up to full blue there, but I'll go ahead and pan over to the right, we'll test zoom here on that cell phone tower. So we have two and a half times telephoto there on the iPhone, and we go to two times digital on the pixel, and we can go all the way up to a seven times, digital on the iPhone and a five times the zoom there on the pixel. Both look pretty clear and steady, at least in the viewfinder back then both out has some autofocus here on the post, so first with the iPhone, so focus is up straight away. Focus refocus really snappy here on the iPhone 12 Pro max, as you would expect, with some nice shallow depth of field nice background blur there now, with the pixel 5 same things, really nice fast autofocus, not as much of a blurry background or shallow depth of field with pixel 5, but very fast autofocus, as well with that stabilization here at 1080p, as you walk down the stairs and both should be doing very well here as far as stabilization and 1080p.

But you let me know what you think and any differences that you see now point up here at the sky, so you can see how it adjusts to some of that changing light there, everyone, so here's the same test in the park this time at 4k, 30 frames per second still, starting out with the ultra-wide angle lens on each. As you can see there. The iPhone has a much wider field of view, as you can see, and I'll do the same thing and switch the main wide-angle lens on the iPhone and now on the pixel. You can see how blue that sky is and as it panned down, the exposure will change that blue sky go a little whitish, and then I'll pan back up, and you can see it readjusts back up for that blue sky there head over to the right, we'll do a focus test or a zoom test again on that cell tower at 4k. So two and a half times telephoto lens on the iPhone two times: digital zoom on the pixel, and we'll go to a seven times, full digital on the iPhone and a five times full digital there on the pixel.

Also looking pretty steady and pretty clear, and we'll back them out, and we'll test autofocus in 4k. So there you go on the iPhone still very fast, snappy nice background blur to it as well and we'll go with the pixel same thing: very snappy, autofocus and again not as blurry of a background. But with that stabilization here in 4k, and again they still should be doing very well from a stabilization standpoint as they're both fully stabilized here, even in 4k, we'll pull up here and point up and pan around. Just for the changing lighting conditions here again in 4k you're welcome, hey friends, so here's some footage from the front-facing cameras. This is at 1080p 30 frames per second now the iPhone can shoot up to 4k, but I want to show you the same resolution here as the pixel 5 tops out at 1080p.

So obviously this is outdoors with some good lighting conditions here, I'm in a bit of shade, so you can see what the even light looks like. That's a pan around the sun is right behind me, so you can see what that does to exposure and the image quality there I'll pan fully back around. So you can see what the video looks like here in the changing light, and we'll start walking to the test. Stabilization you'll start to see some different lighting come in, so you can see how that affects the video quality as well, but do let me know what you think about the video quality here on the front facing cameras of the iPhone 12 Pro max and the pixel 5. Hi everyone.

So here's a low light test between the iPhone 12 Pro max and the Google Pixel 5, starting with the ultra-wide angle lens on both. So you can see the difference in the field of view here on each of these ultra-wide cameras, and I'll go ahead and move into the main wide angle lens on each we go on the iPhone, and they're on the pixel I'll pan. Up into this bright lights, you can see how it handles the lens flaring there from that one, and actually they're both doing pretty decently, at least in the viewfinder. A lot of other phones floor that light up pretty badly, and it is very bright light. So that tends to happen we'll go ahead and do a stabilization test as we move over this way.

This will also test out how it handles light transition from that fairly bright scene over to a much darker area here. So we'll see how that starts to look here in a little, but also pay attention to any kind of micro jitters, as that tends to happen in lower light situations here. But, as you can see here as you're on the corner, it's going to be a lot darker and the pixel 5 at least the viewfinder looks a little brighter, but also maybe a little more bluish or purple tint to that sky, and I'll pan up into the night sky. So you can see a little better, and I'll pan over here to the left, where there's a little more light. So there's a quick test here in low light at 1080p on both phones, hey everyone.

So here's the same test this time at 4k, 30 frames per second again, starting out with ultra-wide angle lens on each phone, as I pan over here to the right, and I'll move into the main lens on each there's, the iPhone and there's the pixel again we'll pan up into that bright light, and we'll pan over this way and test stabilization here at 4k, which would still be pretty good as they're both fully stabilized even at 4k, and we'll also see how it handles light transition from that brighter scene to this darker scene. Usually 4k is going to look a little darker. So pay attention to that compared to the 1080p footage you just saw and again as we're on the corner, much darker, pixel 5, again looking a little brighter, at least through the viewfinder, but just depends on how you want your dark footage to look if you think that's better or not pan up into the night sky, again a little darker and pan over here to the left, where there's a little more light, so there's a low light test there in 4k, hey everyone! So here's our front facing camera test from the iPhone 12 Pro max and the pixel 5. This is at 1080p. The iPhone can't shoot up to 4k, but I want to compare the same resolution here with the pixel 5.

Again. This is a pretty decently lit area. You can see the bright lights behind me, and it seems like the iPhone, is doing a little better in handling that lens flare there than the pixel, but we'll go ahead and walk to test the stabilization as well as move over to a little darker area. So you can see how these front-facing cameras handle that lighting transition and also, as I step over here, there'll, be a fountain coming up. So you can hear that against the sound of my voice, so we can test the audio out as well.

I think he got a little darker here, but I will pan around, so you can kind of see the really bright lights behind me and see how these front facing cameras handle that and again, I think the iPhone's having it a little better, although the pixel is not doing very bad either considering how bright those lights are, and I'll pan back around this way, and we'll step back into the darker area to finish off the video. So you can see that, but let me know what you think of the front-facing cameras here on each of these phones and low-light: hey everyone! So now you've seen all these photos and videos for yourself. Let me know in the comments which one you thought did better, which one did you prefer and which one would you use as your daily camera in your pocket. Now, as for me, I'm going to say pretty much the same thing that I say in every iPhone versus pixel camera comparison that I do they both just take different approaches to their image processing, so you'll, probably like one or the other, and it'll all come down to personal preference, and I think they're both great point-and-shoot cameras. But for me my personal preference is the pixel.

I like it's darker, more contrast and natural color tones that it produces, but if you like warmer color tones and more vibrant, colors, you'll, probably like the iPhone, and so it's just going to come down to which approach you like. What do you like to see from an image processing standpoint and that's the one you're going to prefer and, like I said I like to let you know what I prefer, what my personal preference is just so that you know, as I assess these things and my personal preference is pixel, but when I do travel or when I'm out, and I feel like, I really need a smartphone camera in my pocket? I don't want to take around a big DSLR or mirrorless camera. I actually use an iPhone and a pixel and I feel, like I'm covered, for pretty much any situation. So that's just my quick assessment here. I've offered my opinion on iPhone versus pixel in several videos.

Now and it's been pretty much consistent. I think they're both great point-and-shoot cameras, and they're incrementing, just a little over their predecessors. So again I don't feel like you would have to upgrade every year. They are improvements this year, but just minor improvements over their previous versions. So if you have any other questions or comments about either these phones or any of the photos, let me know in the comment section below and as always, thanks for watching.
