iPhone XS Max VS Google Pixel 2 XL - The ULTIMATE Camera Comparison! By ZONEofTECH

Welcome to another ultimate set of the camera comparison between the iPhone 10s and this time the pixel to the Google Pixel to excel now I know the pixel 3 is coming out very, very soon. It's actually going to be announced tomorrow, so yeah I'll be doing that not our ultimate comparison between the iPhone 10s and a pixel 3 excel as soon as the three excel is out. So definitely subscribe & amplifications, even on a see that video as soon as that, video is out which should be really soon. So here's the thing that pixel 2 already had a stunning camera. In many ways it was better than the iPhone tens camera, especially because of that image. Processing that Google had on this thing.

So it would be interesting to see how it compares to this year's iPhone 10s. Now in my previous ultimate, carry comparison. This one I compare DI Fontana's Max and the iPhone 10 video link in the description in case you haven't seen that, and I've also done the video before, which was the ultimate camera comparison between Jaclyn tennis, Max and the no 9 so definitely check those videos out. If you want to see how the 10s compares two different smartphones, but in this one I'll be testing pretty much everything can think of when it comes to camera. All these two phones, so I'll be doing over 20, plus individual test categories from jello photography to smart HDR comparison, macro shots, zoom, shots, microphone, tests, front, HDR, front portrait mode and back portrait mode bit rate comparison, slow-motion time-lapse, panorama auto, focusing speeds so yeah this videos going to be crazy, just like the other one, so get something.

Some snacks ready sit back, relax and let's have a look which one has a better camera and how much better is it actually over? You know, get a wall, and we're going to start this off with some major shots taken with the back facing camera. So this first one is actually a pretty general shot, and they look pretty good. Both of them look actually perfect. We get a lot of detail and exposure is similar on both the images. Well, the tennis exposes beyond the trees on the right better, as well as the sky is brighter, and the water is also brighter with greater saturation on the 10s, whereas the pixels to Excel is comparable not falling down in any major ways and coming very close.

Next up. We have this shot of this building, which is really reflective. So this is a perfect HDR shot to show. So in this one, we can immediately tell that the iPhone 10 s has a much brighter image with better dynamic range. The middle doorway is actually clear difference between the two.

This one is very dark and noisy only a pixel ? compared to the iPhone, 10s and Gavin 10s is overall, better exposed sharper and has an overall significantly better image. Next up we have this gazebo shot, the famous gazebo that I keep using and pretty much all the camera comparisons, and in this one the pixel two has significantly worse than a Mac range than the iPhone 10s. So if you look at the rooftop of this building, even buildings on the back, the iPhone 10 has does have more detail in the darker areas of the frame and handles the exposure on the top golden ball. So to say for better. This is where we can see how much better did iMac range is on the iPhone 10s versus the pixel two and finally, we also have a close-up HDR.

So this is a pretty tricky one. So here the detail in the lower bricks is far, far better on the iPhone 10, as the pixel 2 seems to have some similar issues to all the other phones and that we compared with the in the previous videos, the pixel 2 shot is far more and noisier, and if you take a look at above the wall, the iPhone tennis shot is brighter and sharper in general. So you can see a very big difference. If you take a look at that, art feature that Brown art that's brighter and much sharper on the iPhone tennis versus a pixel. Next up we have the macro shots, and in this one this was taken by the way, with the main module, not a zoom module, and I was trying to take this as closely as possible to the actual subject, and here the images are actually very similar.

The iPhone 10s has better exposure as well as sharpness. If you take a look at the letters, the pixel two has darker shadows and brighter reflections, which is really obvious on the right-hand side of the image and yeah. The left is quite a bit overexposed. Now the scuffed up area on the top right of the bald is Skua sharper on the iPhone 10s, so yeah overall, in this case the home tennis pro a much, much better image than the pixel to once again. So what about some zoom shots? So the pixel two doesn't have optical zoom, because it doesn't have two modules on the back facing camera: just a single module, so I zoomed them digitally, and it's pretty interesting to see how big of a difference we actually get with the optical zoom that we have on the iPhone, 10s max or iPhones, and s and take a look at a color temperature.

Take a look at how worm the pixel two is and how blue and called the 10s is. The pixel two has a large overexposed area on the right hand, side of the image, but interesting enough. This is yellow overexposed, yellow instead of bright white. That's quite strange, and then the boy itself is much noisier and the detail in the water, at the top of the images retains in the iPhone silence, shots overall, again clear improvement. Seen in the iPhone Tennis image.

Next up, we have another zoom shot this time with this building. Here the pixel to image is significantly notice. You're in almost every area, the glass front and the dark left-hand side of the image are clearly fuzzier and lack all the sharpeners that the iPhone 10s has achieved. The very bright frame of the building is also blown out on the pixel, too, with the lines and edges being far clearer on 10s. So what about some video taken with the back facing camera? Well, here we have the pixel ? I've, shot this in 4k 30 on a pixel, ? and 4k 60 on the iPhone tennis max, because the iPhone is Mexican, do 4k at 60 frames per second now in terms of the actual nitrate we have 103 megabits per second on the 10s max versus forty-eight megabits per second on a pixel ? excel, which kind of makes sense, because you get double the frame rates on a 10 s, and here we have quite some different colors on both.

So the iPhone 10s is more natural. The pixel to Excel is making Blues look a bit greener. If you take a look at the water, that's quite, quite green. Now, in terms of the saturation it's higher on the pixel ? and the details, they lack sharpness and strong edges that we have on the iPhone 10s. Also interesting enough.

The iPhone tennis has a noticeably wider angle than the pixel ? and overall, both produce a pretty good quality image, decent video with decent sharpness and dynamic range, but a pixel ? scholars are a bit too unnatural. So now Allah says the HDR, with a back facing camera and video. So Apple said that with the iPhone 10s Max and the iPhone 10s, and also the iPhone 10 are, if you should in 4k 30 frames per second, you actually get higher dynamic range, so yeah 4k 30 on both in this test, and here we have the same problem as before in terms of the colors on a pixel. They look a bit too unnatural. Despite is the sky and the water, our dollar, on the pixel to the iPhone 10 s has produced a clear natural and more natural video, whereas the pixel ? falls down on brightness and color reproduction quite a bit.

So the horizon is darker on the pixel, even if the sky is also darker, so the iPhone definitely takes this one, a lot of improvement over the previous test in terms of dynamic range. However, so what about some stabilization tests so which one is more stable when recording video both of them feature optical image, stabilisation and when walking focusing on the stabilisation alone, the pixel 2 is incredibly smooth. I mean take a look at this. It's like I've, been using it on a gimbals, but I was actually not now the iPhone 10 s allows for a clearer video and walking the pixels who have reduced the movement to almost zero. However, the quality of the video is clearly better on the 10s, but the same sharpness and natural colors from the previous tests.

Now, when running both lacked the stabilisation to produce a high quality video, so both of them are pretty bad. The pixel 2 is slightly clearer, but realistically number of them is good enough and true stabilisations. You actually use in a quality video when, when you're running, what about the autofocusing speed, which one can focus faster well, both of them focus on similar times, but the iPhone tennis is focus. Transition is smoother, resulting in a bit of a nicer video. Both have no problems in terms of you know, focusing faster and focus accuracy both are really similar, making it pretty hard to choose between the two.

Apart from all other transition smoothness, now moving on to some low-light shots taken with a back facing camera in this first one, we have quite a few buildings. We have a river, we have a bridge, so quite a lot of elements in this shot in here. Both of them produce decent exposure, decent sharpness. However, the pixel 2 falls down in certain areas of the image such as the noise. The noise is awful on the pixel, and now, if you take a look at the building, the building on the left here, the noise is quite severe on the pixel.

Another area is the middle building, where the pixel produces little detail and lots of noise compared to the 10s. However, one area in which the pixel actually be the iPhone 10s in terms of this image was the office building with the blue windows. This is actually clearer and has less noise on a pixel versus the iPhone 10s. Next up, we have this image of this nuke. Yes, this is an actual nuke and the pixel has more noise in multiple areas compared to the iPhone 10s, with the back of the bomb being really fuzzy with softer edges on the pixel.

Now another area is the front of the stand where the bomb is on, where the noise is far more evidence on the pixel again now. A big difference is the handling of the text on the right, with a pixel ?, actually retaining more detail than the 10s as more text as possible. To read now in this next image is actually a huge difference here, so the pixel ? has produced a much more pleasing to the eye image with great colors and overall brightness. Now keep in mind that the image actually looked more similar in real life to the way it looked on the iPhone 10s, but a pixel ? one, it looks much better. Overall, the noise is strong on both the pixel ? did produce brighter plants, but it also makes the noise a bit more evident, but a building is sharp on both the iPhone 10 is being a bit sharper and clearer.

If you take a look at inside the apartments inside the windows, you know in its next one. We have some perfect images on both very similar in terms of their sharpness and the exposure giving the lighting the grass and the leaves are really sharp on both the iPhone 10s actually shows a bit more noise on the leaf to the left of the plant. For example, the darkness cast by the lights, identical on both and the path is brighter on the pixel. The ten has managed to actually keep the light bulb, not blown out in the shot, which is quite impressive, but overall, very good shots on both next up. We have low-light with a flash this time, so in this one we have quite a lot of good areas and bad areas on both images, so the atom tennis is better sharpness.

The grass and the leaves are much clearer than the pixel -. However, the pixel ? is better when it comes to the exposure of the lights on the left, so the exposure is pretty good on a pixel ?, the Bissell. She also has a warmer image when compared to the cooler one that we have on the 10s but yeah the leaves more look more natural on the pixel ? when compared to the iPhone 10s is over sharpened. Edges I think the iPhone 10s over sharpen those leaves a bit too more than the pixels. So in this case, I think the pixel two is actually much better than the iPhone 10s.

Next up, we have a zoom shot taken with the back facing camera in low-light. So, in this case, keep in mind that a pixel tube doesn't have optical zoom, so I'm just digitally zooming in, but it was quite interesting to see even in low-light if we get the same difference as in daytime and overall they're really similar. But if you zoom in the mechanism on the wheel is, is way no way noisier on two versus the iPhone 10s, so yeah. Overall, the image is quite poor on the pixel, the iPhone 10s is better in pretty much every way, but keep in mind again. iPhone 10s has optical zoom, whereas the pixel two is just using digital zoom for this.

So what about video? Taking with the back facing camera in low-light? Well wow this one take a look at that noise on the pixel two. It is very, very strong and evident and pretty much every area of the video. The path is a world apart on both with the iPhone tennis being clear by comparison. If you take a look at the lights, the lights are blown out on the pixel and actually perfectly visible and exposed perfectly on the iPhone Tennyson versus the pixel. This was also shot in 4k 30 by the way on both 50 onto the front-facing camera.

In this case, the pixel 2 is darker and shows much harsher shadows, but produces natural colors on face, and the shirt, however, is just to process to sharp, especially take a look at my skin. So the background is also darker on the pixel ?, resulting in what looks like a cloudy day, whereas in real life it was actually a really sunny day, similar to what it looks like on the iPhone 10 s, but yeah iPhone 10s saturated my face a bit too strong I, look like a peach yeah way too orange and moving on to a front-facing HDR shot, and this one well a lot of differences between those two images. Firstly, the sky is better exposed on the iPhone 10 s with more blue and less overexposed areas. The sharpness is pretty much the same on both with no complaints for either the colors would be an interesting comparison, because my shirt was actually black. It was literally this shirt and in the image on the iPhone 10 s, it looks blue.

It's actually blue, and my hair is a bit too bright, so yeah enters the color in a pixel.2Xl takes this one through the exposure. The iPhone 10s takes this one okay. So this is a front-facing camera. It says between and the icon, tennis max and the Google Pixel to Exhale, not a pixel 3, because no one is an out yet, but I'll take a look at the audio, which one, you think sounds better. So this is the iPhone tennis max.

This is the audio, and now this is the audio coming from the pixel to excel. Then take a look at my shirt, which one exposes it better. Take a look at a background gauge our processing and all that and yeah, which one do you think has a better front-facing camera when it comes to video and then a front-facing shot in low-light. This one is really, really bad on both the pixel to being marginally brighter and having some color and the sky and water Wars. The iPhone 10s is a bit too flat, both of the more really noisy and soft.

The pixel 2 is a bit clearer, a tiny bit. So I would use any of these images to be honest, but a pixel ? is a bit better, and now we have the same thing, but this time with a front-facing flash, or you know the retina flash or the display brightness. This one is very grainy and fuzzy on the iPhone 10s lacking any clear details and making me look like I made it out of clay, whereas trust me I'm, not guys, I'm not made of clay. This would but yeah pixel ? produces a surprisingly good image here, with relatively sharp details such as the hair and the eyebrows. That flash is coming from the screen.

Keep this in mind but yeah the pixel ? is brighter. However, the display of the pixel ? wasn't really brighter it. Just lit up more than the iPhone 10s front-facing camera says between the iPhone Tina's Max and the Google Pixel ?, not a 3, because 3 is an out yet Excel. Now that's a nice Mason actually do 1080p 60 video and there's no option to disable that so pixels. You might actually look better in low light.

Let me know which one do you think looks better and also take a look at obviously the noise and how much more the pixel 2xl can get into the frame compared to the iPhone 4s Mac's, moving on to the portrait mode taken with a front-facing camera, both of them produce good images, but also fall down in the same areas. So the left-hand side of my glasses, for example, is quite bad on both it's a bit worse on the pixel, with a frame being blurred and the iPhone tennis max actually blurs out the shirt in a necessary area such as the buttons and the shoulders. Now. One detail that is down to preference is how sharp the mask on a phone is and on a pixel is really, really sharp. The iPhone is actually trying to create an actual def mask, but yeah the edge detection is a bit too strong on a pixel and produces a very clean-cut photoshopped image so to say, but you keep in mind that the iPhone is using both software and hardware for the front-facing camera, the DEF masking wears the pixel is just using software.

So pixel to users more praise than then it should now move on to the back facing camera portrait mode. Looking at the masking the pixel to is really, really good. The iPhone tennis has more errors on the left, shoulder and leave some water and focus on the bottom left over there. Those are not visible on the pixel ? when it comes to the actual colors. The iPhone tennis has a brighter and overall nicer image to remind that.

It was a really sunny day when this was taking. The pixel ? is dark and contrasted with heavy shadows and a slightly pale skin tone. However, a pixel ? as Nelda shirt-collar, reproducing it correctly moving on to the panorama shots the iPhone 10s ?, gave fifteen point six megabytes image and 61 megapixels in size. The pixel to Excel takes six point: eight megabytes and 33 megapixels in size, so quite a big difference between the two, but also take a look at how much more the iPhone tell has got in the actual shot versus the pixel -. Keep in mind that this was done with a stock camera app on both and the cap.

The capturing the panorama capturing technique is a bit different on both of these phones. Now both of them were pretty good. Overall, the pixel ? had a bit more mistakes. So if you take a look at a rail in the middle messed up quite a bit there and this actually transferred to the buildings above now, if you take a look at a color, that tree is the sky. It's pretty similar on both of these phones.

The exposure is better on the iPhone 10s. If you take a look at it, building with the 11 now sharpness is strong. On the iPhone tell us it's a bit too strong and looks like it's even sharper than a Samsung phone. So it's way too strong, making the pixels' software image a bit more natural and pleasing TV. Moving on to the slow-motion shots, the pixel to take a 720p, 241, second slow motion, or as de iPhone 10s, the 1080p at 240 frames per second, so yeah the pixel to Excel is a bit lower res.

It's even longer than 720p and the iPhone 10s looks like 480p yeah, both of them capture sound when slowed down. So that's good over the iPhone tennis is a bit sharper and clearer than a pixel, mostly because of the resolution, so the path, the bridge and water. They appear clearer on the iPhone 10s, and also they have less noise than compared to the pixel and then, when it comes to actual time-lapse, the iPhone 10s takes a 1080p 30 frames per second time-lapse, which is quite bad, but the pixel 2 takes an even worse one as in it cannot really take a time-lapse. Please, Apple, Samsung Google especially focus on the timeless, because that's, that's an amazing thing to do with a camera and everyone I don't know. One really focuses on time-lapse and the resolution is awful.

Frame rate is awful, mostly the resolution and the nitrate and a pixel 3 can't even do that. The pixel ? from the stock camera app. Ok. So as a conclusion, the pixel 2 was long hailed as the king of smartphone cameras, and it does indeed have a really, really good camera. However, the iPhone 10s is better in every single way.

Even in low-light, the shots were actually much better than the pixel -. Now I wasn't expecting a pixel ? to win in terms of low-light shots. Now the pixel 3 we'll be coming out very, very soon, so I'll be doing another ultimate camera comparison between the three excel and the iPhone 10s Mac. So definitely subscribe & amplifications. If you need to channel by tapping on the bell icon for more insanely detailed tech videos like this one, this one took quite a number of days to make so yeah.

All of your feedback is really appreciated. So yeah, let me know in comments what came out. Comparisons should I do next by the way and check out the previous videos, the previous iPhone tennis max versus the iPhone 10, and also the iPhone tennis max versus the Samsung Galaxy, no 9, but yeah. If you have enjoyed this video, definitely give it a like to. Let me know, join the zone for supporting the channel, and you also get some pretty cool exclusive perks as well, but yeah.

This is being pretty much. It stays tuned for some really awesome videos this week, incoming I'll keep an eye on the channel. I'm, Daniel and I'll see you guys in my next video.
