iPhone 11 Pro Max vs Google Pixel 5 | Can the Pixel 5 hang with the CHAMP of videos...? By Technically Speaking

Evidently, a wild band of children with whistles just went past. What's up everybody, this is Scott. Welcome back to another video well in today's video, because the iPhone 12 is out. Naturally, I have to do a comparison between the pixel 5 and the iPhone 11 Pro max now, full disclosure- I don't anticipate the pixel 5 to come remarkably close at all in the video department to the iPhone 11 Pro max. I said it last year, I'm still going to say it. I think apple has the best video in any smartphone at all, even just recording this right here I can see the difference between the iPhone and the pixel 5.

I'm recording in 4k 30 frames a second on the iPhone front-facing camera and the pixel is 1080p at 30 frames a second. Furthermore, I anticipate it to get a little closer when we go to the 4k 30 frames and 4k 60 frames on the rear-facing camera, but I'm going to do it just like. Furthermore, I do all my other videos I'm going to go through the other modes, I'm going to show you some pictures and just to show you how close the pixel 5 can come to the 11 pro max now, like I said, I don't anticipate it to be really remarkably close because well, let's be honest, the video on the iPhone is just exceptional, but what I do want to show is the fact that the pixel 5 has gotten better and also make you think a little about the iPhone 11 Pro max when it first came out. New was 1400 bucks, the one that I have was uh 1398 or something like that. So basically 1400 and the pixel 5 is 6.99. So I want to show you just how much better mid-range prices with definitely older specs in the pixel 5, compared to the 11 pro max, how much better and close it is for the pixel 5.

Okay, let's do our very first test. This is the front-facing camera on both the iPhone 11 Pro max and the pixel 5.4k 30 frames a second on the iPhone. It does have the ability to do 4k, 60 frames a second and on the pixel 5. It's 1080p at 30 frames a second on this front-facing camera. So here's where you can see the stabilization I have glasses on.

I can't really tell how good the video looks if I dip my glasses a little, it looks like from a dynamic range perspective, they're, actually both pretty good ones, a little warmer of a color one's a little cooler recover. Of course, I'm looking at this directly through non-post-production. But what do you guys? Think of the uh stabilization from this perspective? Take a look at how good the greens are, how black the blacks are, but still has the detail as well as up in the clouds here you can start to see is: is it kind of washed out blown from that perspective again front facing camera on this all the mics and everything's done straight through by the phones I'm going to flip-flop, like I always do so, which one sounds better, which one looks better, leave a comment below to see what it is. Okay, this right here is 4k 30 frames a second out of both, so I'm just walking in this grassy field, walking effectively right towards this orange cone, that's just kind of sitting out in the middle. How does the stabilization look in both of these I'm just walking? I don't run because we've talked about this before, let's pan around a little, and I'm going to walk kind of back towards my jeep over there walk back towards this goal.

How does the stabilization look in 4k 60? Excuse me: 4k 30 frames, a second out of the iPhone and 4k 30 frames, a second out of the pixel 5. Now this is still 4k.30 frames a second, but I have both on their ultra-wide version, so you can see how ridiculously wide the iPhone gets, but I mean the pixel is no slouch either again ultra-wide. This is the stabilization that you would see still 4k 30 frames a second walking in this grassy field, walking towards the opposite end goal. So you can see what the stabilization looks like take. A look at the dynamic range look at the clouds in the sky.

Look how green the greens are the detail, that's in the trees and things like that, which one sounds and looks better. Okay, both have the ability to do 2x zoom, the iPhone has a natural telephoto, whereas the Google's doing it through software. So now I am 2x zoomed on that tree right beside my jeep, I'm going to begin to walk towards my jeep to show you what the stabilization looks like on 2x again, one is through more software because it doesn't have that lens. The other one is actually through a telephoto. This is what the stabilization looks.

Like I mean I got to be honest with you. It looks like the pixel 5 is frozen, and I know that it's not there's definitely more stabilization, at least looking in phone from the pixel 5 perspective, rather than the iPhone that's just kind of what I'm seeing as I'm looking at the phone. Okay. Now, let's just take a look at 4k 60 frames, a second out of both devices. Again, everything done through the phone, I'm holding it on a switch pod.

The stabilization is what it is um I don't think either stabilization's bad. Both of them look fantastic, but take a look at the details in the grass blades. Take a look at the stabilization from both the pixel 5 and the iPhone. We do. A quick pan show you what it looks like from this perspective.

I have to be honest with you. The iPhone looks smoother when I'm panning, like this um yeah, that's just what it looks like in phone. Maybe that looks like the same way in post-production. I don't actually know, but I'm walking towards this goal right here to show you what the stabilization looks like now. The iPhone here at 60 frames.

A second has the ability to do this wide angle.60 frames per second, whereas the Google doesn't have the ability to do that. So everything you see out of Google is actually through just the regular lens, not the wide angle, but the iPhone has the ability to do 4k 60 at the wide angle, but at 4k 60. Both phones have the ability to do this. They both have the ability to do 2x zoom, to show you I'm walking towards this particular goal. Both 4k 60 frames a second to show you what the stabilization looks like I.

I have no idea how google does it with their magic. It is crazy. Looking to see what that looks like now. You can see slight pans very slow pans as it comes to 4k 60 frames. A second, it looks crazy in both like smartphones, are so incredible.

Now that we've shown you all the video modes, let's actually go, take some shots to see exactly what some differences are in terms of just the regular still photography. Naturally, I think- and I'm doing this all before I even go into post-production or back into the studio. I think, for the most part portrait mode, the pixel 5 is going to really kind of handle its own, especially when you look at like things like trees and leaves, I think the pixel 5 is going to come out on top for things like that in portrait mode, video again having not seen anything at all in post-production. It looks perfect with the iPhone 11 Pro max, but keep in mind the price difference, and I guess that's kind of what I'm saying at the end of the day, at the end of the day, we're looking at a device that the eleven pro max when it first came out, the one that I have was fourteen hundred dollars. So that's one thing to keep in mind: whereas the pixel five definitely more mid-range, specs 6.99. Is it close? Would you be okay with getting what you're getting out of the pixel 5 compared to the 11 pro max? That's really up for you to decide again.

I always come back to the fact that it's very ecosystem driven, but god I love smartphones like photography and videography. It's gotten so good in 2020. So one thing that I think is pretty fairly obvious is neither one of these are slouches. So the good news is, you can't go wrong with either, and it really comes down to the well which ecosystem do. I prefer look if you're an apple person, you're gonna, go with an iPhone there's nothing.

We can do to convince you of that. Otherwise, you have great video great photos in both the iPhone and the pixel 5. If you're an apple person you're going to pick that Apple ecosystem- and you don't have to worry, because you're really not missing out on a lot of things in the pixel 5. Same with the pixel 5 people, if you were a pixel person, you're going to buy the pixel 5 or the pixel 4 a5g, because you're simply used to that ecosystem, and that's where you want to be- and both are fine, because you can see right here. Both are awesome.

Now, if you're a filmmaker or something like that, I would argue you should probably have something like a black magic camera or maybe a canon or a Sony. But if you're a shooter- and you need to have some sort of smartphone when you need to do photos both are going to be pretty amazing. I took a peek at each of the photos that I took from a portrait mode perspective, especially the one with like the little red tree. Neither one of the phones did them perfect, but they were so darn close that honestly, it's just down to personal preference from that perspective and that is kind of the end-all be-all. If I had a message in 2020 that I wanted to give everybody it's not about winning and losing, if you pick apple, you don't lose.

If you pick android, you don't lose, it's all about preference. It's not a win-loss type thing it's just whatever you're comfortable with so at the end of the day, pick the one that you're comfortable with because honestly both of them are pretty badass. So that's it! That's all I have thanks for watching and, as always as share subscribe thumbs up, leave a comment below we'll see you next time.
