iPhone 11 vs. Pixel 3 vs. Galaxy Note 10 | Camera Comparison By Digital Trends

Here, we are it's exactly what we've all been waiting for: the Battle of the best cameras in the smartphone flagship business, we're looking at the Google Pixel 3 with its single camera, but its ton of software tricks versus the Samsung Note 10 plus, is triple camera system and its own Samsung. Take on software, optimization versus the Apple iPhone 11 Pro, with its triple camera system and Apple's twist on things. So without further ado, let's get right to it. We're going to skip all the technical mumbo-jumbo. You can check out our full review for that, but we're just going to go apples to apples, pun intended not intended they're, not all apples. First up, let's talk daytime photos.

The pixel, for instance, actually showed up some of the more washed out photos in our tests. Otherwise, across all three lenses, you're going to get some really excellent photos with sharp details and very minimal mistakes. Generally, we got just a little more detail out of the iPhone 11 Pro, especially with the wide angle lens compared to the Samsung's Note 10, plus. It's really nice to have a wide angle lens to take some awesome shots on both of these cameras, but the pixel 3 does not have a wide-angle lens, so that's a little of a detriment there. We didn't really miss the telephoto lens on the Google Pixel 3, though, with the super resume.

It did a very excellent job of mitigating noise and still zooming in very nicely for our tastes. It's kind of a toss-up between the iPhone 11 Pro and the note 10 plus, but the pixel 3 surprisingly dragged behind the both of them. Next we're going to talk about nighttime and dynamic sceneries, not the specific night bones just yet, because these are the type of scenes that don't quite warrant it. With these types of photos, you're gonna notice a lot of the same characteristics across all three cameras, as you found in daytime, where a lot of this may just come up to preference, though the slightly drab pictures coming out at the pixel 3 are a little less likely than they were during daytime. There was still a few instances where the pixel could come up a little cold and flat, but the detail was well captured.

Both the note 10 on the iPhone 11 Pro tended to capture slightly better colors, but also more detail. The iPhone 11 Pro does pull ahead just slightly with better detail capture and noise mitigation, though switching to the ultra wide-angle lenses on the Samsung and the iPhone reveals the exact opposite dynamic. Both are going to show a bit of trouble with very bright lights, as ultra-wide angles can often do. But Samsung proves to capture crisper images. Overall, iPhone 11 Pro can get a little smudgy comparatively and doesn't have access to Knight mode.

Even without this, though, the iPhone couldn't pick up light, where the note 10 could. Okay, let's talk night mode, the iPhone finally has its version of this feature to compete with Google's Knight sight and Samsung's recently added night mode on its cameras right off top we're just going to say that Samsung easily comes in last year about half the time enabling night mode on the Samsung made photos actually come out worse. Sometimes you absolutely do need it to bring things out of the shadows, but shots are often over sharpened and over brightened night mode on the Samsung isn't completely useless. Though sometimes you genuinely came out with a better picture, it was just a little harder to figure out which scene you should use it for it to come out with the best shot, but the Samsung and the pixel offer these night modes as manual settings to turn on, but thankfully the pixel makes it a lot harder to screw up a photo by enabling it in a picture where you don't necessarily need it. The pixel 3 does an overall, better job at illuminating, a scene and bringing details to light, but it isn't quite as pleasing as the iPhones.

Typically, the pixel exaggerates colors, which can sometimes work for a shot, but sometimes it can also even flatten colors. The biggest thing holding it back is the broad strokes with which it applies the night mode in a photo like this. The grasp waves are very well delineated and everything looks very good in the foreground, but it does also look pretty good. In the background and pretty bright and it's really drawing your attention away from the foreground, where you really want the focus, the iPhones night mode, on the other hand, takes this picture and does just as great a job of bringing out the detail in the grass and the flowers but keeps the background shadowed where it should be. Keeping your eyes on focus in the foreground.

It truly looks like studio lighting has been put into effect. Team plus the iPhone is the only one to allow you some degree of control with the night mode, allowing you to expose shots anywhere from 1 to 10 seconds long for almost every situation. You're going to want to leave the iPhones exposure settings on auto, since it does such a great job at deftly exposing shots with his automatic settings. But if you want to capture the night sky and all the stars in there send that exposure setting up to 10 seconds and see what you can accomplish. With the exposure setting to the max and a steady hand, you can easily capture the starry night sky, add a little of foreground to the mix, and it's going to get a little more smeary in blue, but you'll still capture stars, pretty well add too much foreground, and it's going to get a little out of hand.

Still a very nice setting to play around with you guys want to see pictures with me. Let's get into portrait mode. Just kidding. You've already seen enough of me when it comes to portraits of people. All three of these phones do a great job at deftly applying blur, but the note 10 tends to smooth over details and wash out colors, even though the bouquet looks good.

The pixel captures much better colors in detail, while the software approves great for blur application using only a single lens of software algorithm, but it doesn't light up the subject and quite as pleasing away as the iPhone, which produces the most pleasing image. In addition to having great folk' and lighting effects when it comes to portrait mode for objects, apple's object, detection did well in most instances, but often missed smaller bits, like the stem on this Apple and the miniature gun in this figurine. These were issues that could sometimes appear on the note 10 as well. Perhaps a bit counter intuitively the pixel 3 didn't have these issues doing the overall best job with object, recognition without the aid of a secondary camera. The iPhone also had trouble rendering an accurate orange color for this android guy.

As you can see in this series compared to the note 10 and also the pixel 3 conspiracy, you say probably not, while the pixel did the best job with blur application, the iPhone proved more adept with portrait mode in tougher lighting situations, with the note 10, for instance, couldn't capture a usable picture, so you've seen the results for yourself. It looks like the iPhone 11 Pro is the most dominant camera and the most versatile and the most adept at this point right now, albeit not by the widest of margins, but all around the iPhone 11 Pro is gonna, be the best camera that you can get on a phone right now, but the pixel 4 is just around the corner on October 15, so with the pixel 3 setting the standard for a lot of things last year, we're going to keep a close eye on that thanks for watching.
