Google Pixel 2 XL vs iPhone 8 Plus Camera Test Comparison

What's, the weed, Yusuf Iran, super-safe TV and welcome to another super safe style camera comparison, this time between the iPhone 8 plus on the Google Pixel to excel. This has been the most requested video on channel recently and, as always, we'll be testing out lots of different scenarios, we'll be using the front facing camera rear facing camera. Looking at dynamic range we'll be looking at video, as well as images and audio to do look out for the audio icon in the corner of the screen, and that will indicate to you which device the audio is coming from as well. So we're currently outdoors in very good lighting. So it's a good way to test out the dynamic range and see which one is doing it better, and we're going to take a bit of a walk with the front-facing cameras to see how well these do in terms of the stabilization. Let's change that into a run, I witness another video from the rear facing cameras both forming at 4k and what we can do on the iPhone is use the telephoto zoom.

So that will give us two times: optical zoom. We do not have stabilization when we are at this level of zoom, so you can probably notice that it's a little shaky back to the standard camera and now, let's have a bit of a walk, see how both of these ? stabilization. Okay, now we've just moved to a different location, so we can see more of the dynamic range, and we'll also walk. Stabilization is like we're now indoors in good room lighting with the iPhone 8 plus just testing out the autofocus seems to be doing pretty well same lighting with the pixel superfast, so that was the video. Now before we move on to images.

Looking at what we're working with here for the front-facing cameras, the iPhone 8 plus, has seven megapixels. The pixel 2xl has eight megapixels, but the iPhone 8 plus has a slightly wider aperture and for the rear facing cameras. Things are quite different here. The pixel 2xl has a single 12.2 megapixel camera with an F 1.8 aperture with optical, as well as electronic image. Stabilization, and the eight plus has a dual 12 megapixel camera setup.

The primary has an F 1.8 aperture with optical image stabilization, but then we've also got a secondary telephoto camera, which is going to give two times optical zoom, and that has an F, 2.8 aperture and no optical image stabilization. Also, all images have been taken on automatic I haven't tweeted any of the settings, and this is to keep things as fair as possible, so initially kicking off with some selfies I. Think it's clear here that we have so much better dynamic range on the pixel to excel. This continues on from the success of dynamic range that we had on previous yes, pixels now with the iPhone I have found it to be quite inconsistent when it comes to dynamic range, it's kind of hit-and-miss, and in this situation you can tell that it's completely missed, and you can't see anything in the background is completely blown out, but on the pixel you can see that space station quite clearly the pixel to excel, is also a little wider compared to the 8 plus R. This is gonna, be good for group selfies, and things like that.

So that's going to come down to your personal preference, now testing another shot completely outdoors once again that dynamic range really shining through for the pixel. It really is magic how it maintains those details in the background, the clouds, as well as in the foreground. Now one new feature that the pixel to Excel has is the portrait mode from the front-facing camera as well. This is something that's going to be in the iPhone 10, but it's not on the iPhone 8 plus and when we do apply it then boom. Look at that shot.

That looks absolutely awesome. It's nicely bled out that background, and it looks like a really crisp shot. Now, it's not absolutely perfect. There are some defects around I can see, but this will only improve with time and machine learning. Now trying out a low-light selfie outdoors in street lighting, you can see that the pixel to Excel is doing much better here.

It's so much brighter image overall and the colors are also better maintained and then, when we go on to using the front-facing flash I still like the colors better on the pixel, it's also brighter. But it's not as sharp as the iPhone 8 plus, it looks like it is using quite a slow shutter speed on the pixel, which is resulting in a slightly blurry image. This one will come down to your personal preference, I think now, moving on to an outdoor macro image, both doing really, really great. Here, the colors look a little more punchy on the pixel, and if we go in 100%, you can see that it's also maintained the dynamic range better on the pixel compared to the iPhone 8 plus. Some of those whites are a tad blown out on the iPhone 8 plus here, but on the pixel.

They have been maintained very, very well now, moving on to an out the wide shot, both doing absolutely great here, slightly warmer on the iPhone, slightly cooler on the pixel, but I think in terms of dynamic range they're about the same I would say and moving on to another out of the wide shots both doing great here once again, and in this image the dynamic range is about the same I would say if you look at the pixel, the clouds where the spaceman is those have been slightly better maintained on the pixel, but the foreground is brighter on the iPhone 8 plus. So it looks like the iPhone 8 plus has favored the foreground a little more, whereas the pixel has balanced your shot now. An advantage that you do have on the iPhone 8 plus, is the two times optical zoom, and this is quite useful feature. It's something that's not available on the pixel now another shot with some very tricky, dynamic range and, in this case I actually think that the iPhone is doing better. If you look towards the clouds where the Sun is, that area has been washed out a little on pixel, whereas it's been a little better maintained on the iPhone 8, plus slightly more vibrant colors here on the iPhone 8 plus as well.

This is going to come down to your plus or preference. Now, let's move on to the portrait modes. I know this is something that you guys really want to see now. First things: first, because you don't have a dual-camera sensor on the pixel, the focal length is slightly different, so what I had to do is I had to actually move back slightly for the iPhone picture, and you can notice that difference in the background, and that is to get a similar shot as possible, but it comes off the actual end result. Both doing absolutely great here.

I would call this one a draw now moving on to another shot. This is with a person, and this is most likely what you're going to be using the portrait mode for, and here the pixel has much better colors and much better dynamic range. You can see that the iPhone eke plus has washed the image slightly because of the direct sunlight, but when we do go in 100%, the iPhone E Plus actually looks like it's done a better job on the edges. If you look towards my ear on the pixel and also a bit towards my hair, you can see that it has been bled in slightly now. I think this is thanks to the new camera sets up on the iPhone 8 plus, which is better sensing that depth now trying out.

Another portrait shot this time with an even more complex background, to see how well these do. Once again, the colors seem to be better maintained on the pixel, and you've got better dynamic range. If you look towards my forehead, the iPhone 8 plus has blown out the highlights they're slightly. Where is these are maintained on the pixel now going in 100%. Neither of these are perfect in terms of the edges.

You can see towards the tricky areas such as those windows in the house and the background near my shoulders. Both have struggled a little, but the pixel does have a few more defects in the background compared to the iPhone 8 plus. Once again, I do think this comes down to the dual lens versus the single lens. Now moving on to low-light indoors, the pixel doing a better job here, in my opinion, it's much brighter the images. Both images are quite sharp, however, and then moving the test outdoors in low lights.

I do think that the pixel once again is doing better here. Colors, better maintained, and you've got more detail as a sharper image on the pixel. If you do look towards the entrance of the Space Center towards the bottom, you can see that the colors and detail have been much better maintained on the pixel compared to the iPhone eight plus now trying out another test outdoors and lowlights both doing pretty good I think, but when we do go in 100% I think the pixel is not as sharp as the iPhone Lee plus. If we look towards the text, it does seem to be a tad sharper on the iPhone 8 plus in this situation. One more test in low-light outdoors I think both are doing a perfect job overall going in 100%.

The pixel does seem to have better maintain the colors and the detail on the upper side, where it's National, Space Center, but the iPhone 8 plus seems to have better maintain the text where it says a millennium Commission lottery project, so I would call this shot a bit of a draw overall. So there we have it guys. These super surf style, camera comparison between the iPhone 8 plus and the Google Pixel to excel, and when it came to the front-facing camera images I think the pixel to Excel was the winner overall, with a wider angle as well as a much better dynamic range. You also have the portrait mode, which is gonna. Allow you to blur the background.

This works really well already in my opinion, but it's only going to improve with software updates for video from the front-facing camera. I think both were good, but the pixel to excel once again, I think had a bit more dynamic range. How do images I think both were good with the 8 plus? You do have the advantage of that optical zoom for dynamic range. However, I think it was a bit of a draw with the close up going to the pixel, but the wireless shots going to the iPhone, 8 plus I think both do absolutely great for dynamic range from the rear facing camera, but this is me very slightly from situation to situation now for video both shot, making quality 4k video with the 8 plus you do have 4k at 60 frames. A second, however, now I couldn't actually test this out in this particular video, because the final video is being exported out at 4k at 30 frames.

A second and with the iPhone 8 plus you've also got slow motion at 1080p 240 frames, a second on the pixel you've only got 720p at 240 frames. A second, the pixel, however, was super stable, especially when you're walking it looks like you're pretty much using a gimbals. This is thanks to the optical, as well as electronic image. Stabilization now for the portrait mode, both actually did good in their own ways. The pixel too high, better dynamic range of colors.

Where is the iPhone 8 plus did a better overall job in terms of the edges and blurring out the background because of the dual lenses that it has now. This should hopefully improve with both of these as we get software updates. Another thing that's gonna, improve with the iPhone, is studio lighting. This allows you to switch between different lighting modes after you've, taken an image in portrait mode. Some of these work well right now, but others such as stage lighting I, do really struggle with at the moment.

This should improve with time below light. It was close in some situations. I would say that the pixel to Excel was better overall now for audio, even though both of these have stereo speakers, both of them actually record in mono audio, but the pixel 2 was louder. That's what I think anyway. What do you guys think definitely got me? A comment below.

Let me know if you want to see lots of images from lots of different devices, then definitely give me a follow-on Instagram I'm at super soft TV I hope you enjoyed this video and found it useful. If you did, then please do it that thumbs up on for me, we dissolve me out if you only see more super safe style, camera comparisons like this and make sure you have subscribed and switched-on notifications thanks for watching this is staff on super staff. TV and I'll see you next time.
