Pixel 2 XL vs 8 Plus, Note 8, Mate 10 Pro camera comparison By TechRadar

Hey guys you're watching SEC radar, my name's Basel and this video is all about for camera phones, the iPhone 8 plus at the Google Pixel to excel the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and the new Huawei Mate 10 Pro we're doing a blind test with Bill Hall. Our cameras, editor and Gerald Lynch. Our associate editor Phil knows a lot about photos, Gerald, not so much. You can take part in this camera test along with us. If you visit Schrader you'll see on page one of the corresponding particle, which is linked in the description below. If you're watching this on YouTube you'll be able to check out the photos without any indication as to which photo is which device then on page two all will be revealed, or you can wait until the end of this video, I'm, Gerald and I know nothing about cameras or very little anyway, and I know even less about how to take a good photo.

But I do know what I like so. Hopefully, I'll have a look at some of these photos and decide from my opinion, which is the best of the camera phones. So the first round is detail and dynamic range. We've got a shot of a building, so it's got so plenty of light and shadow I. Think I see the most detail in the Eva camera for all one camera for has a little more depth to their color.

From to my eye, the first one is a little overexposed, so my favorite shot at the four is the fourth one. It's got the most amount of detail rendered in the leaf, see that compared to the others, number one I think is the least successful. Just because the metering gone a bit funny there, camera three isn't either so bad Eva, but camera two really lacks any fine detail in the leaves. Second up we're going to get up close with some macro shots. Number two is really shoddy.

It's like completely like blurred out any kind of real detail. Probably least successful is shot number two. It's either missed, focus or is tried to just reduce the depth of field too much. There's just no detail or clarity again, I, quite like three and four, and I think that for probably has the best balance between detail and depth and exposure levels. Detail has been rendered really well on the thumbscrew.

Their number one is quite overexposed, which means that both as detail present, it's hard to see the fine detail around what seems to be the rings at the top detail, isn't great and just the way it graduates off into the background doesn't like that, so that nice next getting up close and personal with video producer tom, its portrait and there's some real variation across each image. Here, probably think it's going to be shot for again here, just because well it looks a little dark. I think it's probably been a successful of separating our subject here. From the background is quite a clean transition. It does a detail.

They all look kind of overly smooth in a little unnatural in terms of the most true to life, I would say, can before is the best in terms of the most flattering may be camera to skin. Tones probably shot for is a bit on the cool side. One is the most neutral, but I think it's counteracted by the sort of crude separation in the shot, dropping the lights and going indoors for some low-light shots. How do the phone's back off? So we've got fruit against some boxes in a kitchen, all four cameras, you have struggled here a little which isn't surprising really from camera phones. But again it seems to me that coming number four is above the others.

It just seems a tighter, more crisp image, there's part of chroma and luminance noise in the shot, so details suffered especially down here. Camera free is pretty good at bringing up the text, but you can see on the boxes so there text that looks a lot sharper contrast with the black-and-white is made lettering quite sharp, but again it kind of loses some detail in the colors of the fruit itself flash and then the final test is the same scenario, but with the flash switched on, and all cameras perform a lot better in this situation. You know you don't always want to have a flash on, but when you're in a dark situation, sometimes it's the best solution. Coverage is pretty good for all four images, so decent distribution of light across the range, but looking closer at the images, I shot one you can look at the Apple and there's detail. This is suffered.

A similar story is shot to camera. Free, probably again looks the best. There's just a lot more detail. A lot crisper text shot three here has the edge yet of all of them good detail in the lettering, while the app impaired have managed to retain a decent amount of detail and the winner is the Google Pixel to excel almost every single time. Phil and Gerald agreed camera number.

Four. The pixel to Excel was the best camera phone of the bunch. As for the runners-up, the Samsung Galaxy Note ain't came in a close second, with the Huawei Mate Pennant Pro falling behind it, and just behind that was the iPhone 8, plus here's what they put the images of shot for. Probably my pick I'm going to say four because I think overall, it performed the most consistently across the tests. Number three did quite well in the low-light situation, so that gave it a slight edge, but for the most part, I think number four seems to be the best shot.

One probably did the worse with the portraits, but then looking at the others, camera two wasn't that great either so tie-up between this camera number two seem to have kind of consistently quite poor of image quality. So that's how these poor phones compared in this test. Now these are five very, very different images and the phones can perform differently in the real world.

Thanks for watching you, you.
