Hey, what's up guys soldier knows best air, so the 1+8 pro has just been announced and look at this beauty very nice color on it. But I wanted to do a camera comparison between this phone and the iPhone 11 Pro. So the 1+8 pro has a starting price point of 899 dollars and the iPhone 11 Pro starts at nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars so with OnePlus creeping up in the price point. I just wanted to test out the cameras front and back video capabilities photos all of that good stuff in this video. So let's jump into it. Okay, so first let me hit you with some specs.
So, on the back of the iPhone 11 Pro is pretty easy, because all three cameras come in at 12 megapixels and on the OnePlus 8 Pro. The wide and the ultra-wide cameras come in at 48 megapixels and the telephoto camera comes in at 8 megapixels and the one plus a pro does have an extra camera on the back, and this is called their color filter camera, and this asked filters to your photos, and it did find that they were a little more refined than your traditional filters that you find built into software. So I mean I, don't know how much I'm going to use it, but it has it. But now, let's get to what you want to see. So this first set of photos include photos that were taken with the main wide-angle camera and, on the right hand, side with the iPhone 11 Pro.
This is exactly how it looked and when I was taking the photos, because I was underneath that tree, and it was pretty dark, it was shady underneath and the iPhone represented exactly what I was looking at, but on the OnePlus, a pro I like how it lifted those shadows up and really allowed my subject, which was the flowers to be more noticeable to really stand out more and then also something I noticed with all the photos taken with the wide-angle cameras, is that on the OnePlus a pro it really has a nice depth of field to the photos, just naturally without using something like portrait mode and with the iPhone 11 Pro. You really don't see that it really kind of saves the blurry background for portrait mode so for this situation, I like what the OnePlus did here, alright and so now, moving over to the ultra wider camera. So only one plus a pro something to note is that, even though both the wide and the ultra-wide cameras are 48 megapixels, they default to 12 megapixels, so they still are using all of that goodness. But by default you will get a 12 megapixel photo unless you select 48 megapixels in the software. But now looking at these two 12 megapixel photos I want you to pay attention to the color temperature difference.
So on the iPhone 11 Pro, you see that the color temperature is a little cooler in this particular situation. So it's kind of trending towards the blue side of things we're on the OnePlus a pro the color temperature is warmer, so it's trending towards the orange side of things, but when I switch over to the 48 megapixel mode for the ultra-wide camera on the OnePlus, a pro you see now that color temperature has changed from warm to cool, so it closely kind of matches with the iPhone. In this particular situation, and as I zoom in here, you can actually see that it's a little cooler than what the iPhone is putting out right now and with my naked eye, I, don't see a big jump in difference between the 48 megapixels versus the 12 megapixels. Here, like I, did see when I did look at photos comparing the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy s.20 ultra because that Samsung has a hundred and eight megapixel camera, so you really did see a difference when you punched in, but in this situation it's not really as relevant all right. So we have another set of photos taken with the ultra-wide cameras and, first, let me say, whoever drew this did a great job, but besides the color temperature difference- and you can just pay attention to that yourself, the one thing I want you to see is that on the right side of the building, where the Sun is kind of creeping behind the building a little, you see the iPhone 11 Pro just handled that glare a lot better than what the OnePlus a pro did now before I left this location I thought it would be a good time to test out the telephoto cameras and quality wise I like both of them, but the main difference that I was looking at here.
It's just that difference in zoom, because on the 1 plus a pro, it is zooming in three times versus the two times on the iPhone, 11 Pro and so honestly, an other company is wrong. With the zoom level that they chose here, because, depending on your situation, you may like having three times zoom and like for this one I like having two times zoom, so I can have the entire face of that animal in the shot. But that's going to vary depending on the shot that you're trying to take okay. So this next camera feature isn't on every smartphone, because it's not even on the iPhone 11 Pro, but this is a macro mode, and so this is it running on the OnePlus 8 pro and macro modes isn't just used for trying to take pictures of small things like ants and things like that. But it works well for trying to get this sticker in focus, and it was really windy this day.
But it did a pretty good job, but you can see when I'm trying to do the same thing with the phone 11pro. It just doesn't allow me to get as close and keep a a image. That's going to be really in focus and actually usable, so it's going to be really blurry compared to the one coming from the 1+8 Pro, and it's a know, it's a feature that most people don't use all the time, but just having a macro mode available. When you need it, it's just one other tool that you can have at your disposal and next up is going to be portrait mode, but before I show you those pictures. I just wanted to take another look at how the wide-angle cameras or just the main cameras from these phones handle that background blur.
You can see on the one plus a pro: it's a really nice creamy blur back there. But when you look at the iPhones picture, it does have a nice blur to it, but it's not as deep as it is on the pro, but now switching over to the dedicated portrait mode on both of these phones, starting with the 1 plus 8 Pro. You can see that I like the way it looks, but I was expecting a little more of an intense blur to it, because it's not as intense as it is on the regular wide-angle lens, but it does do a better job than what the iPhone 11 Pro did here in this particular situation, because you can see that the iPhone has an issue with object detection, and so this has happened to me in the past with other iPhones like, for example, this picture I took with the iPhone 10s, and you can see that it just went into overdrive and cut out that rock, but that's not really. What I was going for. I actually do like the way it looks a little, but that's not what I wanted and that's the same thing here with this flower.
So this has been a weak point for the portrait mode on iPhones for a little while now, where they're just really prioritizing faces and not really focusing on objects where other companies like OnePlus and Google, are really putting attention to taking photos of animals and objects as well and here's one more set of photos using both of the rear-facing cameras for portrait mode, and I am really happy with both of these photos. They look very similar, but when you do punch in you do see on the iPhone 11 Pro under my left ear there, the edge detection ran into a little issues, whereas on the OnePlus, a probe I'm cut out pretty nicely there and now for our last set of photos. Let's take a look at the dedicated night modes on these phones, so these are the before pictures, and now here are the after pictures. So it does look like the OnePlus did a slightly better job at uncovering things that were in the darkness, but I really like look of the iPhone's pitcher, and something else you should know is that with the 1+8 Pro, you can also take these night mode, or they call it night skate pictures with the ultra-wide camera as well, and that's enough with the rear facing cameras. Now, let's switch over to portrait mode using the front facing cameras.
Okay, so I have both pictures pulled up here and the first thing that I did notice is just how each one handles the highlights. So let me punch in and go a little more on the 1+8 Pro there, and you can see around my nose that the highlights just are blown out on the one from the OnePlus, where the iPhone did a great job at just handling everything kind of smoothing everything out and then, as I've punched back out here, you can see that the shadows are lifted a little more from the picture from the iPhone and then also to the highlights coming to play. When you look at the white paint on the background and on the 8 Pro, you can see that it is blown out there as well. So look I like both pictures, but I think the iPhone takes this one and all right. Ladies and gentlemen.
So now we are done with the photos. Now is just about the video and I wanted to start off with a blind video test. So here is video one, and I'm not going to tell you which one is which until a couple of seconds later here, but you can see that I'm really liking the quality from this one. But as we switch over to video 2 and this one does produce a perfect image as well and I. Think if you have been paying attention to some of my other smartphone comparisons with the iPhone included, you may be able to tell which one is which, just by the color profile, but both of them are producing some perfect video here, but now it's time to see which one is which so, which one you think is which alright so video number one is going to be.
The OnePlus 8 Pro and, of course, video number two is going to be the iPhone 11 Pro. So a couple of things that I did notice is that just like with the photos, the iPhone did a better job with the HDR I'm handling. Some highlights and things like that. But I love the color coming from the OnePlus. A pro is reds and yellows from the flowers are really popping off on the screen.
Here it is very vibrant, but the iPhone 11 Pro has a very nice consistent image, especially when it comes to the auto, focusing where it jumped a couple of times on the OnePlus a pro and also dealing with the autofocus. You can see here that one plus just really couldn't lock on to this flower, where the iPhone does a great job at locking onto this flower and then as I move the phones around. It still does a good job transitioning from one subject to another and for this video sample, just looking at the deepness in the blacks and also to the colors really pop off on the iPhone 11 Pro's video versus the video coming from the OnePlus, a probe which still looks good and then also as I focus on the food. The OnePlus a pro's is a little out of focus where the iPhone nailed it and real quick I just wanted to throw in some video using the ultra-wide cameras on these phones and the same thing with the photos. You can see that the OnePlus a pro, really brings up the details and that sign by lifting some of those shadows, but the iPhone 11 pearl did a great job at handling that Sun that's behind the sign and not having things be too blown out now.
This is the new 4k cine mo that's built into the OnePlus, a pro's camera software. Now this particular type of format where it makes it more widescreen. It's not going to be anything unique to the OnePlus, a pro you can download other apps from the iOS App Store. To give you the same type of look, but I like the fact that this is built into the camera app. That makes it really easy to use, and you can see the big difference that it makes it a video where it's more cinematic, and I really love the color profile that it has here with that video versus the one coming from the iPhone 11 Pro.
And so, if you are looking to get this specific look for your videos, it's just really easy to switch over to it, using the one plus a pro, and now I'm. Looking at these slow-motion capabilities, both of these phones can record at 1080p and 240 frames per second, but the one plus a pro does one-up the iPhone, because it can also record at 480 frames per second at 720p. So there is a little downgrade in quality, but that Excelled slow-motion goodness that you can get is something that I like to play around with and, as you can see, your boys still nice with that. Rifle getting some of that drill in ceremony in but actually jacked up my hand while recording this, so I'm, not as nice as I used to be, but shout out to all the RTC cadets out there putting in that work. Okay! So now, let's talk about the front-facing camera, so the first difference is going to be that the iPhone camera cord up to 4k at 60 frames per second and the OnePlus.
A pro can only go up to 1080p at 30 frames-per-second with this front-facing camera and then also pay attention to the microphone quality. So I'm speaking to you right now on the iPhone 11 Pro, but I'm about to switch over to the 1 plus 8 pro now, ok, so now I'm on the 1 plus 8 Pro. So the first thing I noticed is that when I was setting up, these phones I did a tap to focus on each one of them and I think the iPhone I didn't actually have to do. The autofocus or auto exposure, lock I just had to focus, and it kind of kept me looking perfect, but on the OnePlus 8 Pro I did the tap to focus, but when I moved into position here, I started going a little out of whack I did find myself having to lock in the exposure and autofocus which isn't a big deal, but in the grand scheme of things up setting it was a little easier on the iPhone, and also I find the iPhones picture quality too, just to be a little better for my liking, and now I'm back over to the iPhone. So I think with the higher resolution, the higher frame rate and also being able to still do slow-motion I think the front-facing camera on the iPhone takes it in this category.
Okay, so look! That's everything, but I'm not going to make this outro really long. So, let's get straight to the point: if I needed a smartphone to take, video on I would reach for my iPhone 11 Pro at this time, but if I accidentally picked up the OnePlus, a pro I would still be happy with that and have no issues unless I was trying to record a lot with the front-facing camera and that's where the iPhone really shines over that one plus 8 Pro and then, when it comes to the photos, I mean I have to be honest with you. One plus has stepped it up to the point where really each phone has advantages over the other in certain categories. So, if you're really watching this video to see if the OnePlus 8 pro can go against something like the iPhone 11 Pro, which for a lot of people, is the standard when it comes to smartphone cameras, you can see that it definitely can. And now, with all of this being said now, the choice is yours.
