HTC U11 vs Samsung Galaxy S8+ vs Google Pixel: Which Is the Best Camera Phone? By Gadgets 360

The Samsung, Galaxy, s8, Plus and Google fixing are two of the best smartphones you can buy right now. If a great camera is what you're after, in fact, the cameras from both phones have received very high ratings in DX amok, which is the industry standard for benchmarking, cameras and lenses. However, the recent introduction of the UE Kevin HTC / it for 2017 beats the s8 plus and the Google Pixel ranking the highest in the Thomas rating. Naturally, it's time to see how well this translates into real-world performance and what better way to do this than a camera shootout. Before we begin, let's quickly go some main specifications of the cameras. All the smartphones have roughly the same sensor, size of 12 megapixels, the SI plus and the u11 have optical image stabilization, whereas the pixel relies on electronic stabilization.

All smartphones also have decently wide apertures ? for low-light photography. The u11 has the highest resolution front camera, but the SE + does have the widest aperture, which should help it gain an edge in low-light selfies. In our first landscape test in daylight, we check to see how the phone's handle HD our color accuracy, level of detail and white balance. All cameras captured very good detail and none have any glaring issues like chromatic aberration. However, the image from the U 11 really stands out here, hang to the accurate white balance and pleasing color tone.

We are also able to easily distinguish between the different shades of green in the trees. In the background, the Google Pixel comes in at a close second, with equally good detail and accurate colors. The color temperature is a bit on the warmer side here and objects that appear towards the side of the frame. Aren't the clearest, the Galaxy S8 LES exhibits better highlights and shadow areas are more legible, but the picture has a very warm don't do it and greens are a bit overblown, thus making various shades of the trees appear as one in a first macro shot. We check to see how the sensors handle high contrasting colors and also smoothness of the bouquet, the HTC? U 11 manages to nudge past the others, with accurate white balance and punchy colors without going overboard.

The Reds are a tad brighter than they should be, but this does add a good dynamic to the image produced by the pixel dials down the colors are clipped, which gives it a more natural look level of detail and both is also very good. The s it works once again boosts the colors a bit too much, especially the greens, although it does manage to maintain good level of detail in the second scene. The image shot by the U 11 really stands out once again, thanks to the accurate white balance, light metering and very good detail on our subject, the Google Pixel manages good detail to where the color temperature is leaning towards the cooler side. The is+ manages a highly detailed shot dude for wall mode color temperature and exaggerated greens is in the most accurate depiction of the scene in a lowlight desk. We check to see how the cameras handle noise levels and which one manages the best details.

The Galaxy S8 glass really flexes its muscles here with the clearest and sharpest image. There is no visible noise in the image, and you can easily make all the finer detail than the leaves in the trees below the streetlamp. The u11 comes in at second place here with a slightly brighter image, but there is some visible noise in the night sky, just behind the streetlamp. The pixel has the brightest image of the lot, which shows you more details in the shadowed regions. However, this boost in brightness also introduces visible noise in the dark regions.

Plus objects like the path guard on the front, aren't very sharp. The u11 fares a bit better in low-light close-up shots as it likes a good balance between details and noise levels, even in very dim lighting. The minor scratches on the table are clearly visible with good video. The galaxy s 8 plus, has the least amount of noise, but the details are smooth and out a bit too much which doesn't really look too natural. The colors are also a bit muted here and details on surrounding objects on very clear.

The pixel produces better colors, but is a fair bit of noise in the dark portions of the image plus. Despite multiple attempts, we couldn't get a very sharp image of our subject in focus. The front camera of the pixel works is magic once more. Producing sharp and vivid images in the right level of detail and colors is superb on our subject, as well as the background even at night, and does a great job with colors and white balance. The s8 comes in at second place in terms of detail and colors and daylight.

At night, selfies lose out on a detail a bit and colors. On too accurate. We won't terribly impress with a front camera of the new 11 as despite having the highest resolution, images turned out a bit soft at night. It once again manages good color accuracy and good detail, but it's still nowhere close to what the pixel can offer in a 4k video test. We compared stabilization, focus, speed and VPS captured the HTC.

U 11 may not have the best stabilization, but it does a great job of metering and white balance. Detail level is also excellent, and focus shifting is correct when you pan around the Google Pixel is masterful the stabilization, where the shift in white balance can feel a bit abrupt at times when you're panning around the shimmering effect of electronic stabilization has reduced since of previous tests, which is good. The stabilization of the is+ has a bit of a bubbly feeling which is noticeable at the side of the frame. Colors are also been boosted here in daylight, which doesn't look very natural at night. The 11 has a most stable and clear footage among the three phones.

There is noise in the footage where the colors are fairly accurate to the scene at hand. The SA flash stabilization is very good and noises kept in check. However, it still has a strange ghosting effect when you move about, let you saw in a previous test to color. Temperature is once again a bit on the warmer side.4K footage from the pixel is a complete mess, as there are tons of color noise, and the shimmer effect due to stabilization is greatly exaggerated. The one area where the HTC- u 11, jumps the others, is getting the white balance right, pretty much every single time, it's graded landscapes and close-ups, and nearly any lighting condition delivering excellent detail and vivid images.

It's also very good at 4k videos, both in daylight and at night. The sh+ still rules the roost in low-light landscapes and there's still no beating the pixel at selfies for the full review of all these smartphones head on to the links in the description below, and thanks for watching and for all things, tech, keep it locked onto gadget, 360 calm.
