iPhone X vs Pixel 2 XL Camera Comparison By Grant Likes Tech

Positive and grant here welcome back to in the camera comparisons video this time it's between the iPhone, 10 and Google Pixel to excel the best that Apple and Google have to offer right now, they're also two of those expensive smartphones in the market. Right now at $1,000, each they better have some great cameras. I can tell you, they really do I've been taking a lot of photos and videos since I've gotten them, and they both perform very well so I, don't think going to be disappointed with either choice that you make I think for most people will come down to your comfort level between iOS or Android, which is perfectly fine, but just might be curious as to how they compare against each other there being two of the most popular smartphones out right now, and that's really what I hope to accomplish for this field so to keep things interesting actually went to the headquarters of Google in Mountain, View and Apple in Cupertino. Does it take some of the dough photos you're about to see so hopefully enjoy that and with that, let's just get on with the rest of the video everyone. So here we have some very camera footage from go with the iPhone 10 and the Google Pixel to excel it's a nice sunny day. We've even got some clouds, so you can see how those show up here check out that maybe the dynamic range on each some focusing issues there with the pixel ?, but well aiming at our favorite tree.

Slash cell tower a little soon test here. So that's a half zoom on the pixel to zoom. In all the way, see how that looks. It's actually looking fairly clear, not too noisy I'm, pretty study here, and we'll zoom in two times optically with the iPhone 10 and now a full digital zoom 6 times digital zoom, and that actually looks pretty good to you. Maybe even a little clearer in the pixel to zoom back out on both, and we can do some a bit of a focus test here.

I'll try to put a I'm at this post here. All right, one at a time because it's hard got them both, but there you can see the iPhone and now the people too, back to the iPhone and a pixel tube. So you can see the depth of field that they both can create and how quickly they both pretty much focus in move off the post and one more time go back to the post of the iPhone and then again with the pixel. So very quick autofocus here they both create a nice depth of field, as you can see there one more time of the pixel, so very nice I can even do a stabilization test here. I'll walk down these stairs see how the stabilization looks here at 1080p.30 frames should be pretty good on both should be fairly steady and smooth. Would you be the judge for yourself we'll take a counter on the park here into the Sun, so you can see how it handles some direct sunlight there they're both looking pretty good? They look too washed out threatened to the Sun and one less pan around the park here, and here we are again this time at 4k.30 frames per second just pan around the park really quickly here, so you can see what it looks like here at 4k, and we do our same zoom tests to see if the quality degrades any in 4k 2 times optically on the iPhone and full zoom here we're on the iPhone. That picture still looks pretty, pretty good, not too noisy, even at 4k.

Here, there's a plane. Let me track the plane, lose him back out, and we'll do a stabilization and walking test here at 4k, so again, I'm inspecting the pixel to be pretty good. It's part of the best stabilization of 4k that I've seen on any phone. You see how the iPhone compares to that, and then we just Pat her on the park one last time, not just a quickie sample everyone. So here's a quick look from the front-facing camera here and some tiny sunshine.

Just so you can see what that looks like here. I start to walk around, so I can take a look at the stabilization you're. Just looking, the viewfinder I think the pixels doing a better job of exposing the details and the clouds behind me. But if I angle, this up, you can see that the iPhone will do the same. I have overall I've noticed the iPhone tends to favor a brighter picture, while the pixel has a little of a darker more realistic.

Look to it. So obviously, just going to come down to what you like in regard to that. But I just want to show you a quick sample, clip it's a nice sunshine here and also give you a look at the stabilization from the front-facing cameras. Everyone. So here is some low-light footage from both the pixel to excel and the iPhone 10 being shot at NDP 30 frames per second I'll, just pan around the area here, so you can see what that looks like some lights, coming off the building and off the pathway, as you can see here, so we'll try to test the stabilization at an EP.

Just walk around the path here looks to be doing well on both phones. Here, I, don't really see a lot of lens flaring or too much noise. Here, of course, we'll see once we get it off the phones I need you be the judge of how that looks. We're going to test the zoom here so pixel to itself magazine I'll go 2 times digitally with the iPhone 10 I can zoom in all the way on my phone 10 6 times digital zoom, there is no pan around here, I'm max to zoom on each. So you can see how each is doing, which has more noise in the viewfinder that picks it to excel definitely looks more noisy here.

I can back it out to 1/2 zoom here on the pixel tube and same on the iPhone 10. That's what it looks like it about half zoom there, and I'll zoom back out on each, and I'll. Do them a pan around here. So you see what they both look like. I'll say that the pixel two of at least on a viewfinder, definitely more noisy the iPhone 10 looks a lot cleaner, but again that could change once this gets offloaded.

But you, let me know what you think, and we're back with another low-light scene, this time at 4k being shot at 30 frames per second on both phones, so give you a sample of what for kit 30 frames per second looks like on the pixel to excel and the iPhone 10, as I pan around I'm, going through the same walking past. Here you see how stabilized both phones are at 4k, and this is where the pixel really should win the pixel stabilization, even at 4k as part of the best that I've seen any phone, even though something gets a little. Electronic need a little too robotic, but it is very smooth, even though that's done in post. You won't see that in the video, the viewfinder, let me just zoom in 4k, so that's about halfway in the pixel two times on the iPhone optically, full zoom on the pixel and full zoom on the iPhone, so the iPhone looks a little more shaky, at least in the viewfinder. Here.

Noise is about equal on both as far as what I'm seeing on the phones, and I'll zoom back out and do one last pat around here in 4k 30 frames per second, so here's some front-facing video in low-light both can record up to Andy P. So we'll see how this looks here in low-light as I pan around there, you can see the lights on the building behind me and there are some lights in front of you here that are kind of helping out as well, but from I can see I, don't see any kind of light flares or anything like that, and if you even do a little of stabilization here so in case you want to do some vlogging. With these cameras, you can see what the front-facing camera stabilization might look like, especially here in low-light you like the vlog when you're out at night. This is kind of quality. You might be expecting, so you let me know how the stabilization is looking, and I can pan around.

So you kind of see how it looks as the light changes and shifts suddenly there and both seem to be doing pretty good until you find her not really seeing any kind of issue or too much noise at least looking at them on the phone, that's good to see no real light flares either. So for how dark it is here both seem to be doing pretty well, so just a quick test on the front-facing cameras here in low-light at 1080p. So there you go. That is my camera comparison between the iPhone, 10 and Google Pixel to excel I. Just wanted to end this video, with my thoughts on how they each performed as well as which one I personally prefer for snow photos from both the front and rear facing cameras.

I prefer the Google Pixel to excel I. Think it just preserves more detail with better dynamic range and just an independent usage of these cameras. I just get better results of the pixel ? and there's just some shots that I can get with a pixel to excel, but it just can't get with the iPhone, 10 and I. Think the iPhone 10s image processing is now favoring a little brighter and more vivid punchy colors than it did on the iPhone, 7 or 7, plus, which favored a little more natural color processing. I.

Think some people may like that, but I'm, just preferring their results that I'm getting out of the pixel ? more than the iPhone 10. Although to its credit, the iPhone 10 is giving the pixel to a run for its money. I really thought the Patel 2 would just dominate the iPhone 10 in photo quality, but the iPhone 10 has definitely put up, performed and exceeded my expectations there. It's just that in low-light and darker low-light scenes, especially the pixel 2, is clearly better than the iPhone 10, and so I think, if you're going out at night- and you can take a lot of photos, I think you're gonna, like the performance and the results out of the pixel ? more than the iPhone 10. So for rear-facing video quality, I'm going to give this light edge to the iPhone 10 I.

Think the video quality just looks a little better and the zoom is a little clearer. I also didn't like the results and the color from the blue sky and that 4k recording on the pixel -. For some reason. It just didn't look very natural to me and for a front-facing camera I'm, giving the edge to the Google Pixel to excel in good light. I think it introduces too much noise for my taste and low-light.

Although the iPhone 10 doesn't really perform much better in low light, either I think they both suffer from audio quality issues as well. The iPhone 10 is still having a very low audio output for some reason, and it suffered that all the way back to the iPhone 77 plus. So it's disappointing not to see any kind of improvement there and the Google Pixel to excel. While it is louder and much louder than last year's Google, pixel and pixel X L, it suffers from a tinny audio output, especially at higher frequencies, and then Google is acknowledges, and they said they're going to be coming up with a fix for that. So hopefully, we'll be able to test that once that fix is released there, but if it could only carry on one of these phones for overall camera performance, which one would I pick I'll personally take the Google Pixel to excel.

But that's just my personal preference and as always, everyone hears what you think if you've got either these phones or maybe you've got both. Let me know which one you prefer, if you don't have any of them. Let me know what you thought about the photos and videos that you just saw any other questions or comments, leave them down below and as always, thanks for watching you.
