Watch out Apple... iPhone 12 Pro vs Google Pixel 5 Camera Comparison! By Technically Speaking

What's up everybody. This is Scott. Welcome back to another video! Well, it is today's video on the iPhone 12, pro, of course, versus the pixel five on my YouTube short behind the scenes of the filming of this particular video. I kind of hinted at the fact that I wasn't ensure that the pixel 5 can really even keep up with the iPhone 12 Pro to be quite honest, because obviously, things like the a14 chip, some better hardware for the cameras and just overall kind of what apple's doing to really continue to just dominate the video realm for smartphones. So, let's take a peek in this particular video to see if the pixel 5 can even keep up with the iPhone 12 Pro. This is filming on the front-facing camera for the iPhone 12 Pro and the Google Pixel 5.

Everything that you see is filmed with the native camera app um, the pixel 5 is 1080p at 30 frames, a second on the front-facing camera, whereas on the iPhone 12 Pro, this is 4k 30 frames a second, it does have the ability to do 4k, 60 frames, a second and the stabilization. Everything that you see here is again straight out of the phone on both instances. Now in camera, I can tell you from a dynamic range perspective, I'm in like the harshest light, literally middle of the day, sun directly above me, so when you're looking and seeing like the blue sky behind me, thank you. Random bird, the blue looks more real in the iPhone 12 Pro, where it looks a little more subdued, almost like cloudy, like in the pixel 5. , not a lot just a little again, not something that's necessarily the worst thing I've ever seen, but the iPhone looks much more.

I guess true to life in terms of the blue color that you see, whereas the pixel is a little more subdued again comes down to mostly total personal preference. I think both look fantastic with the iPhone 12 Pro. Obviously you have the ability to do again: 4k 60 frames, a second 4k 30 frames and even 4k 24 frames a second, whereas on the front facing camera for the pixel you're, getting 1080p 30 frames a second. Now. What we're going to do is we're going to walk towards that tree directly in front of me.

Both phones are at 4k 30 frames, a second again using the standard camera app we're going to check and see. This is what the stabilization looks like so again, because they're just a little off on the tripod themselves or the switch pod that I have the stabilization. What you see is exactly what you can experience in each of these phones again walking directly towards this tree in front of me. Uh, I have to be honest with you. It didn't even look like the pixel was moving again, which is something that I've said in a ton of different videos on the stabilization from the pixel 5, but the iPhone is no slouch either.

So again, I'm going to rotate a little and walk towards this evergreen right here. So you can see stabilization on both fantastic stabilization on the pixel 5, almost magical, it's so ridiculous at how good the stabilization is on the pixel 5. We're going to walk towards this goal. This is the ultra-wide on both again 4k 30 frames. A second in both of the camera apps and you can see again, the pixel 5 is somehow magically delicious when it comes to the stabilization, whereas the iPhone in camera or in phone is a little more shaky than that of the pixel 5.

, but again both of them pretty good. The colors look great in both going to walk past this right here, so you can see exactly what I'm seeing again pretty crazy when you start to think about what the stabilization on a 4k 30 frames. A second looks like in each of these different devices. Now each of the devices is still in 4k, 30 frames a second, but now I'm in that 2x telephoto. Now, with Google they've taken out the telephoto lens and with iPhone, they still have one in there.

But again this is 2x. You can see the details in both again. I think the iPhone really has nailed the color perspective, whereas in the stabilization perspective I really think the pixel 5 is in camera. It looks so ridiculously good. It's crazy! I think the detail in both when you're 2x is obviously lessened.

Um I'd have to look at it in post to see which one I prefer, but quite honestly, both of these are so freaking close that you can't really go wrong with either again. This is 2x zoom on 4k 30 frames a second with both of these phones. Okay, now we are back in 4k 60 frames, a second on both of these. I am walking, obviously on a concrete pathway that you can see so nothing too crazy to get into. But now what I want to do is flip this.

This is just your standard, uh 1x that you have on both of these again. On the one side, you have the pixel 5 again with the stabilization that looks somewhat magical and on the other side, you have the iPhone filming at 4k.60 frames, a second I should have mentioned, and everybody probably already knows this, but everything that you see in here is filmed directly with each of the devices no post-processing for either the audio or the colors, or anything that you see again, everything that you see filmed directly in each of these phones. One thing with the iPhone that definitely gives it a leg up is the 4k 60 frames a second in the ultra-wide, which is what you can see right here, whereas the pixel is only the regular one x. Now again, all the stabilization and everything that you see is exactly what it is in each of these phones. I'm going to walk towards this little play area right here, so you can see what I'm talking about.

This is the stabilization that you could expect when using the iPhone and the pixel 5. Last, but certainly not least, 4k 60 frames, a second in the 2x telephoto zoom with each of these. The stabilization is what it is from a color perspective in camera. It looks like both of them are great, but take a look at the sky. Take a look at the trees.

Uh take a look on the field itself. This is actually a soccer field, so you can see that there's a lot of little prints for cleats and things like that. Can you make out those details in both of these devices? Take a look at the color of the green grass again, which one do you prefer? Personally, I really enjoy a much colder contrast. Look. I've never been a huge fan of really, really warm photos.

You can tend to definitely tell which ones are which, when you're taking a look so with that being said, let's take a look at some of the photos that I've shot on each of these and see which ones you prefer. So I had a chance to take a look at some photos in camera, obviously not in posts when I'm going to be editing this video to see exactly which ones I prefer and like almost every single time before I have a hard time, trusting apple's portrait mode, whereas with Google it darn near, gets it almost every single time. It doesn't mean that the portrait mode on Apple can't do it. It just means that I trust google's way more, and you can see that in that shot with the particular leaf. I didn't change any settings or anything like that at all, and the pixel 5 nailed the leaf perfectly in portrait mode, whereas Apple's iPhone 12 Pro just whiffed and missed.

Now again, that's a sample size of one, but for me that gets into the point where I'm talking about like I can trust the pixel 5 to get the shots that I want, and again I prefer that cold contrast look as compared to the much more warm uh warm, more kind of punchy colors as it relates to the iPhones. It's just kind of how it's always been for me is the idea that I just prefer the look of the pictures in the pixel 5. This is no different. I really enjoy how the pictures come out in both, and you can't go wrong with either this gets into my ecosystem comment in one of the past videos I did about the iPhone 11 Pro max, which I'll leave in a thingy above so again. From that perspective, I'm going to go and lean towards pixel 5 from a personal preference.

Only now, let's talk about the differences in the video. There is no question that the Apple iPhone 12 Pro definitely looks better in video. However, does that mean the pixel 5? Isn't usable nope? Quite the contrary. I actually really like how the 4k works in the pixel 5 on the rear-facing cameras. One thing that I would have loved to have seen, which you can't see right here, is the fact that the front-facing is 1080p 30 frames a second I would have loved to have had a 4k on the front-facing camera, because I think it could look really, really good.

There is no question front facing camera. The iPhone 12 Pro wins, because I can tell you right now. I love the way that I look in the 12 pro versus the pixel 5, just from a personal preference perspective, because I, like that additional detail, you can really see it in things like my beard and so on and so forth. But again, at the end of the day, the price is where I have to start asking questions of. Is it worth the additional cost? The iPhone 12 is several hundred dollars more than the pixel five straight up.

That's just the way that it is um. This particular model was a little over a thousand dollars for me with, like the 12 pro 128. That's what I bought, but you get 128 as well with the pixel 5 and again it at a significantly cheaper cost. Several hundreds dollars cheaper than that of the iPhone. So again, at the end of the day he got a 6.99 versus a 9.99 is, is the difference in the camera from a video perspective enough to push you to go to an iPhone? I said it in my iPhone 11 Pro max video, and I'm going to say it the same way here. If you are in the Apple ecosystem, you are not missing anything at all in the pixel 5 that you do not get in the iPhone 11 Pro or the 12 pro you're, not missing anything.

So if your team apple you're going to stay team apple- and you don't have to worry about missing out on something uh when it comes to the cameras in the iPhone 12 Pro, if you are team pixel, I am team, pixel uh, you are not missing anything going to the iPhone 12 Pro. Yes, I know somebody in the comments is going to talk about, but it has Dolby Vision, Ada, Ada, Ada, not a lot of people can take full advantage of the Dolby Vision. Yet now I do believe apple is going to rectify that. But right now they are not able to fully utilize Dolby Vision for the iPhone 12 Pro for the majority of folks. Let's just move past that point.

So right now, if your team pixel I'm to tell you're going to stay team pixel just because I can trust the photos that come out of that, I do far more photo shooting with my phones than I do. Video for sure I just prefer the look of the pixel 5. , so the folks that have that that's the way they're going to stay so again, at the end of the day, I'm not really helping you make a choice between two of them, I'm just showing you the difference between them. 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.
