Hey guys welcome back to reckless I'm Sandeep and in today's video, we're doing something interesting and kind of follow on of a previous video that we did so last week we actually compared the iPhone 11 Pro max to the Redmi Note a pro now I know that these two phones are leagues apart in terms of both the pricing and what they offer overall as a smartphone, but both of them also offer particular emphasis in terms of the camera setup, now spoiler alert for those of you who have actually seen that video, if you haven't seen it already, I, would suggest, go ahead and check that video out I'll include a link in the description below and also maybe add a card here, and I would suggest, checking it out because I'll add more context to this particular video, but again spoiler alert. It performs exceedingly well and very close to the 11pro max in terms of the primary camera performance, at least in terms of photos. Now many of you asked me: how would it perform if you add a G cam mod on top of it and considering how G, cam, mod or Google camera apps have the ability to kind of transform a mid-range smartphone sensor or even a low-end smartphone sensor into something that's much better? It also piqued my interest in terms of finding out how well it can perform. But one of the issues with the note a pro is that it comes with a MediaTek chipset and currently there is no G campus available for it, or at least one that supports the phone. But there is another phone which we cannot kind of use and kind of understand the results we can get, and that is the Redmi Note 8. So considering how I said again, the g cam mod is able to transform a lower-end phone into a higher-end phone in terms of the image quality.
Why not try it with to notate? The note 8 support, G cam mod. It comes with a Snapdragon chipset, so it's very easy and although there's no specific version available for the note 8, yet it still does mean that we could possibly see a huge increase in terms of the quality in terms of the output and in this video we'll be checking the camp GK mod of the note 8 and comparing it to the 11pro Max and seeing just how close it can get and whether it is actually a huge difference compared to an OTA Pro or whether it can even beat the note a pro in terms of the similarity and the closeness to the iPhone and Pro max. Now before we get started, please do make sure to hit the subscribe button and also give us a thumbs up at the end. If you happen to enjoy this video, and we'll also be doing a giveaway of the Redmi Note, 8 pro so stay tuned to the end of the video to find out how you can win one of those for yourself as well. The Redmi Note 8 comes with the primary 48.
My pixel 1/2 inch sensor with f 1.79, aperture and 0.8 micron pixel size. Apart from this sensor, which is different from the 64. My pixel sensor on OTA pro the rest of the three sensors are the same, which means that you still get an 8 megapixel, F 2.2, ultra wide-angle camera, as well as a 2 megapixel depth sensor and to my pixel macro camera as well. But in this video we'll be comparing only the G cam mode samples with the samples from the iPhone Lam Pro max, because even the costlier Note 8 pro could in mass the iPhone 11 Pro Max and certain scenarios as expected. So it would be unfair to give the Note 8 ago without the G cam mode.
So as a result will compare just the primary cameras at the back for this test and even the front facing cameras. I'll link the G cam mode in the description below for you to download as well — Lamprey max as a primary —, Alma pixel F 1.8 camera with optical image, stabilization telephoto, 12, megapixel camera with 2x the focal length F, 2 apertures, with optical image, stabilization and finally, ultra Y 12 megapixel camera with F, 2.4, aperture and 120 degree fields of view. I'm going to start with these two images and let you guess which one is taken by which phone both are very impressive in terms of dynamic range and colors, also pretty great. Only that the image on the left is a bit more aggressive in terms of keeping highlights in check and, as the result creates. A darker looking film zooming in reveals.
Good sharpness and detail retain on both but slight differences in the way the color is rendered. The image on the left is more greenish, which in this case, tends to be more towards the unnatural side, while the image on the right captures. The green perfectly zooming in further reveals that the image on the left has ever so slightly better sharpness in detail than the one on the right. Now, if you're wondering the image on the left is captured with the note 8 and the right is with iPhone 11 Pro Max, we captured it using light sight mode on the note, 8g cam mode, and it's really impressive at a glance. They both are practically identical and equally impressive and capturing without the nitrite also gives good results, but less impressive and a tad bit less accurate as well.
So we suggest using it even in daylight. The slight issues with the saturation, especially when it comes to foliage, where G cam tends to over saturate and looks artificial dynamic range, is slightly better on the iPhone with sharpness and detail are better on the note DAM to captures to element excel pixel bin photos as a result and as we saw in to notate Pro comparison, the benefits of pixel winning are evident here too and lastly, the note 8 also has more contrast to a scene. However, the GK mod isn't as consistent in this situation. It tries a bit too much and while more of the shadow region is visible, which is the sensor to its limits and causes way too much color noise and purple fringing on the lower portion of the image. This happens in other scenes to where the disparity between the shadows and highlights is too much, such as in the short where you can see a faded look and color cast on to notate shot, but overall, very impressive results from the note AG cam.
So far. Now, let's look at the low-light images. Here too, let's compare the nitrite images with the night mode on the iPhone. At a glance, the iPhone manages to get the colors right, while the note a tends to make everything more blue and even yellowish tones white here too surprisingly, there's even more detail and sharpness on the note.8 photos in some scenes compared to the iPhone, even in low-light conditions. But here again there is some inconsistency, because it's using a g/km mod where at times the sharpness does go haywire and in fact, creates worse looking images than the iPhone Lam Pro max in terms of the front-facing camera.
Both the phones capture, surprisingly similar looking photos, but just with a narrow field of view on the iPhone by default. However, the iPhone can also capture a wider angle selfie, if you wanted to and in terms of detailing as well, they have both quite similar, and so is the color reproduction. Now time for the portrait mode, poetry mode doesn't work with objects with the g/km mod. So we can't compare that not even animals, so human subjects are the only way to go. The iPhone has a better blur, that's also stronger and the GK I'm more blur tends to get a bit weak when you move further away from the subject.
It also has an overall darker look and feel which looks worse at a glance, but when you zoom in you will see some other benefits in terms of sharpness and detailing which is better on the note 8 shot, but it also does make my face. Look a bit weird and in terms of edge detection too you'll see that my ears are blurred out on the note, AG cam shot the same issue is there with my skin tone, and his detection is also carried over to the rest of my head, where it misses out certain portions and blurs out the others for front poetry's. The issue of inferior edge detection is again present on the note 8, but it blows out my ears and misses some portions around my head. The iPhone isn't perfect either and a blurred out my shirt and tiny portion around my head is a bit weird, but is much better compared to the note 8. So that was the camera comparison between the Redmi Note, 8 and iPhone 11 Pro max.
To be honest, I didn't really expect those results. Those are quite surprising and in many instances the note is surprisingly good and in fact, in some instances, even better than what the iPhone lambda max could give and, of course, that credit primarily goes to G cam. What Google has done something incredible. You know with the G cam mode and I mean with G cam, but obviously, when it comes to other smartphones as well, you know without changing anything related the hardware just with software processing, there's such a huge difference in terms of the results and something that can even combat a flagship smartphone, and that is certainly very, very impressive. Now, of course, the results are only bound to get better considering.
This is not a version, that's optimized, particularly for the note 8, but actually a version that is meant for the note 7 and is still working pretty well. The note 7 series is what it was running on, and now it's still working really well on the note, 8, and I'm sure that, with further updates issues that we had small issues, such as the assistance in terms of the output of images, will be improved, the edge detection will be improved, portrait mode will be improved and all those missing links will come together and overall. That will make this note it a really, really solid, smartphone in terms of the capabilities as a camera phone as well. So, if you're, looking for a solid camera phone in the budget segment in terms of below to any key I, think the note it with the G cam mod is good enough, and you don't really need a notated Pro. In fact, you know to kind of get you through whatever photos or videos that you are taking, of course, the note 8 pro and will have better quality with the primary camera if you're using the default camera which you have to, if you want to take photos with the macro camera or if you want to take photos with the ultra wide-angle camera, but other than that, the G cam mod is still pretty stable, very solid, and I would suggest you know for those of you who still want a good smartphone under 20k with three perfect camera quality.
The note it is a great pic now on to how you can win so the iPhone 11 through max one lakh, 10000 rupees, the note 8 10,000 rupees, it's kind of crazy to think that you can get such good image quality with the note 8, but really impressive and really promising, and we'll also be bringing out camera reviews of the same pretty soon.
