Pleasantly surprised at how much better the selfie camera is on the 8 pro compared to previous generations.

The Pixel 8's shadow details is really impressive. It's gotta to be at least half a stop brighter than iPhone 15. Great job on Google's improvements!

Fantastic quality both, great comparison, appreciate your work!

Heck yes!!!! Was waiting for this one 🔥 🔥

Google nailed it . Dynamic range king 👑

I find the Pixel 8 Pro better in photos 70-75% of the time, especially at night. But the most surprising thing is that I also find the Pixel 8 Pro better in video 😅 The only thing I liked about the iPhone 15 Pro Max was the smooth transition between the different lenses.

iPhone pics still cast a slight green tint on photos. iPhone video lens change is way smoother still. Overall both great camera systems, and hard for any phone to claim bragging rights. I prefer Pixels for the software

Wow, pixel knocked it out of the park! Impressive night video, especially with the wide angle.

Pixel has color science on point.. the superb white balance.. iphone photos are too warm for my liking. Zoom also much sharper on Pixel, just look at the 5X in night time, Pixel is so sharp. Video looks on par with iphone, though Google should improve on the lens switching. Better colors on the Pixel's video, agree on what MKBHD said. Selfie video also looks more detail and sharper Pixel. Can't wait for the Video Boost & Zoom Enhance feature soon.

Pixel for me , the video looks good

That portrait cutout is still brutal on the Pixel. Personally almost never use it, but yikes. Ultra excited for the P8pro now given this comparison! Hard to argue against the Pixel on the whole

Yo, that front facing selfie cam on video in low light towards the end looked great!

Surprised how similar both are. Both in pics and video. I think we've reached peak phone photo/ video when the 2 strongest competitors perform so well and so close.

Yet again another wonderful camera comparison using pictures and examples that absolutely no one else would use or take. Random buildings and cars driving by the street are the true staple of any KZfaqrs camera review. Forget the fact that people use their cameras to actually take pictures of people or children inchallenging situations like low light, being indoors or being in motio because those are the real situations that actually challenge a camera. But they won't show you that because all you'll get is grain and blur from everything besides a pixel. Keep those random building pictures coming, they truly show off a cameras true purpose and ability!

Huge improvement with pixel’s night mode. 💕

The fact that it has big sensors for all the lenses you can see more detals on the 5x on the pixel. Its crazy. Might sell my s23 ultra for one the only downfall is when taking night pics the noise is so noticeable. The only android phones I never had a noise problem with were oneplus 7t and 9pro that i had

Nice job as always!🎉 Can you do a comparison between pixel 7 pro vs pixel 8pro please 🙏

I think both devices are knocking out some pretty amazing shots/footage and blow for blow are pretty evenly matched. I'm a big Pixel fan and not looking to move away from android but there's some images I prefer on the iPhone and some I still think Pixel is winning. iPhone video still seems smoother/better overall I'd say.

The Pixel looks so much more natural. Especially next to each other. The Iphone looks yellow and green. Even in video the Pixel likes to be better. The video must be hard to see for all photographers who are stuck in the Apple ecosysteem.

The pixel still has that micro jitter in videos which samsung finally got rid of with the s23 ultra. I really hoped pixel would do that too as I really wanted to make my shift to the pixel but this alone is a deal breaker sadly. Looking forward to the s24 ultra.

Thanks for the review. I have a question though. Were there any camera/phone updates applied on either of these phones prior to your review? I ask because I am seeing lots of inconsistencies in the brightness and low light control on the ip15 pro as compared to the reviews that were made immediately after the ip15 pro launch by other tech reviewers? Same photography/video scenarios ip15 did poorly before but in your review as per my opinion, I felt it did better in particular, when faces were concerned? Though overall, I still think p8 pro did a great job. Tks.

This time google has nailed it! Both the quality of the still photos and videos Look insane! Well-done Google!

It seems daylight video are more stable on the iphone 15 pro max especially when you change camera zoom ( i received my 8 pro today going to try this ! ) For photos on main camera it seems they are pretty similar

The ultrawide lens is a huge win in lowlight and even the main sensor captures a lot of light as well. Even in video without video boost, Google is right in step with the iPhone and that's saying a lot. Very excited about this. I'm still not sure what happened to their portrait mode since they switched to new sensors on the Pixel 6 but if you stay in 1x it's usually really good. I used to take portraits with the telephoto and add the blue in post on my Pixel 6 Pro. Looks like it's time to come back to Pixel!

Always the Man to see for cam comparisons! Been with Google since the first Nexus and have not left them yet. At this point, it's really a matter of taste with the cameras from both Alphabet & Apple, But as far as OS and UI and still photos go, I'm still Camp Google. Android phones in general still have a bit of way to go with the video tho, Apple is still the best in video.

Great, thanx

Awesome comparison! I love the fact that you turn around the phones to shot videos with the main sensors. I do that a lot. Even in day light. Nice!

Pixel is the camera king now

Wow. Pixel is catching up in video! I can't wait to get my P8Pro later today in the mail and doing some comparisons with my P6Pro. In this comparison, it looks like the iPhone has caught up to the Pixel in photography as well. Overall, I'd give photo still to Pixel and video still to iPhone. The biggest difference is that the iPhone's main sensor has that image shift technology which helps keep it steady. You can especially see this in lowlight jitter. The faster processor in the iPhone also has something to do with that.

Watching for the warm weather scenes😅

Wow video sound is so much more clear on the pixel. It's like having ANC on.

I'm waiting for Dxomark results too! Amazing P8p for this price. 999-watch 🤞👍

Was looking forward to the video improvements we've heard about on the 8 Pro. The Pixel is definitely still noisier in low light though (both cameras). That 5x video stabilization seems better on the iPhone too. Nice comparison! #TheLand

the pixel camera update is no joke! a truly king

the video boost feature shown in the pixel event isnt coming until december

Would had loved to see 4k 60 frames / sec thx, good luck!

Thanks ❤

Not really highlighted, but I preferred the audio quality coming from the Pixel 8 Pro over the iPhone

wow i didn't expect that, i think Google is a better overall choice, the colors are more natural, the night pictures and footages are sharper with less noise for all the lenses and on the daylight the main sensor makes sharper images with better colors , the only thing that i liked iphone better was 5x video in the daylight and stabilization but i definitely go with google , since the colors were different i liked to see a pro camera pictures as a benchmark , thanks for the awesome video

I always recommend the pixel to people who don’t want an apple iPhone as that’s the only android phone I would personally use, due to how great it is at taking photos. As for video, the iPhone is still the king. The smoothness, stabilisation, the transition between the lens, and the consistency is so good on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I do love the vibrant colours on the pixel however! Both top class phones.

Pixel tries to bring up the shadows a lot. Sometimes they look good, sometimes it dulls the natural contrast of the image. But overall, photos from Pixels have always looked good. I'm surprised how similar the shots looked for most of the comparison. But when it comes to video, the footage was just a little more stable from the iPhone, lesser lens flare at low light, and more organic from the front facing camera.

It’s possible to see differences but is hard to say witch is better… both are pretty good.

5:15 what happened to the image on the right side?

You should try it with the latest update before launch

Pixel 8pro will be further updated with the year-end update, right?

I have to say this the best channel about phones, seriously I have seen many channels and I waited for video from this one because its most pro in my opinion.

Still need improvement on human subjects in pixel mobiles. I am using pixel 7 dynamic range good and every deatails looking pleasent but when comes human subjects over contrast and over sharpening human faces are looking worst. I observed that same thing in pixel 8 pro. But thank you phandroid for nice comparison I am actually waiting and searching pixel 8 pro camera comparison but I didn't get any from 4th oct you are the first you Tuber I think. One more pixel brings night sight video feature do the video what have pixel 8 pro specs on camera. Thank you

wow that night mode on the ultrawide lens is so clean on the pixel

I think there are so equal, on a blind test I couldnt tell which is which

Can't wait for my 3 8 pros coming tomorrow

Is the comparison done on latest final 9.1 camera version?

The Pixel 8's stutters when switching lenses is odd... Doesn't happen on my Pixel Fold.

Great video! Pixel improved video a lot! Iphone is just beating it by slightly better stabilization and lens smoothness on daytime & HDR on the wide lens at night time. Other than that they're so close on video, I'll take the Pixel for Phofos thoe!

I see some stuttering in the Pixel video when turning slowly (street/truck) shot. Also stutter when zooming. Is that a known issue?

so the video boost and night sight video is not available?

pls do a video comparing other ffeatures as well like flash performcae, night sight, slo mo, portrait, 60 fps comparision.

Pixel looked better in almost every situation.

The iPhone's continuous video capture feature offers excellent performance, and the Pixel's video quality is impressive. However, The Pixel's video quality is great, but when zoomed in, the video quality tends to fluctuate. In terms of back cameras, both the iPhone and Pixel deliver exceptional results, it all comes down to personal preference. Again Pixel's selfie camera has some improvement since the previous model, but the 10.5MP resolution on the Pro version might not be as competitive or as appealing it's a big turn off. Apple, on the other hand, has consistently delivered strong performance with their selfie cameras. Both phones offer amazing features, and I'm eagerly anticipating your video on the upcoming Samsung phone. I'll be looking forward to it! 😄

Every IPhone picture seems to have some yellow tint. Very weird. Pixel honestly destroying the IPhone in this comparison.

Pixel now also develops camera video too

Is the pixel 8 pro still overprocessing the photos fella, like the 7s did?

they are both excellent

6:39-6:40 "Однажды я был не прав". Забавно, что услышал русскую речь. Отличное сравнение, спасибо большое за проделанную работу! ❤

Everything else in good conditions are similar but there are some differences in some areas. The front facing camera video footage was so much better on the iPhone better detail and colours, in all instances day and night is so much better. The rear video lens transition is so much more smoother on the iPhone too. The Pixel night phots have more detail and lighting in the distance.

sucks that Google still can't do smooth transitions for zoom.

I generally dont know. I have two unopened phones and dont know which one to keep. I will be sad either way (unfortunately, I can't allow myself to keep both)

What I can say is that both phones are so similar, The photos do vary a little but really wow, they are both very good, either one of these phones would give you good results. The Video on the pixel 8 pro is as good as the iphone 15 pro max. Both win. But what would decide for me is the audio editor when shooting video with the pixel 8 pro. That is a killer feature, I've got to have.

I would like to see comparison between pixel 8 pro & pixel 7 pro. 😊

Wow, so much difference in quality in night video at 7:00!

From what I see, both phones are capable shooters with slight peculiar strengths. Regardless, which ever one you have, be rest assured you have a capable camera phone. Thanks for the comparison.

y is the pixel 5x telephoto which is 48mp looking like having lesser clarity compared to iphone's 12mp telephoto? esp visible in video at 5x (timestamp 6:05)

I like the more realistic look on the iPhone I hate contrast photos so much and the iPhone does much better at night looking at HDR clarity and time it takes to take a photo also colour accuracy and better focus.

Only difference I could understand was : Only difference is pixel is on cooler side with better dynamic range and iPhone is at warmer side.

Front facing camera can use some work. Videos are not as good as Iphone but its a step in the right direction.

Cleveland Heights, OH!

Pixel camera is quite impressive ❤

8:04 внезапно русские слова, однажды я был влюблюён)))

In the last comparison with pixel 7, i commented that the skin tones and skin texture are much better on iphone. Meanwhile, DXOMMAK tested iphone and classified it right to Top - Best video performence. Here, with the pixel 8, my opinion remains the same. Better video on Iphone, 5 x Tele better on Pixel 8, like already was with pixel 7. 0:05 Great main camera 4:30 selfie video comparison 9.05 Selfie low light video comparison. 10:40 Great low light main camera

They both do macro mode too, try that

I would like Nick to say which phone is reproducing colors more closer to natural one or to this what an eye can see, for me the most important is reproduction of colors, on laptop is hard to say and see, different laptops different screens and so on. I would be grateful for this information.

The one thing I can't get over is the weird yellow color boost in the iphone photos. It's such an artificial color vibrancy to the color yellow

This year the video is sooooo improved. Hell yeah, Pixel! It’s almost close to the iPhone’s. The photos both look similar which is also a good indicator

Google, having a lot of technologies with artificial intelligence, was unable to make a smooth zoom while recording a video (I mean the smooth movement of the cameras). and is this the best phone for shooting video? During the light part of the day it can still cope with video recording without falling far behind the iPhone, but in the evening it doesn’t

I tried a whole bunch of Android smartphones this year hoping to find something that would make me switch back to Android, even though I am 100% in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Mac mini, iPad). The only one I found that could replace my iPhone is the Pixel 8 Pro. I didn’t encounter the same issues I usually find with Android smartphones. The voice command works perfectly (unlike other Android devices where, for some reason, I can never get the voice command to work on the Gboard keyboard). Additionally, when setting up a new phone, you can have an exact copy of your old Pixel, just like you can with a new iPhone. This isn’t the case with Samsung, etc., where you end up having to put all the apps back into folders yourself, reorganize everything, etc. In the end, I found that the photo and video quality were not as good as on the iPhone, so I kept my iPhone 15 Pro Max and returned the Pixel. However, I’m still looking forward to seeing the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I would be very happy to see Google reclaim its crown as the king of photography. They have the resources and talent; I don’t know what’s missing for them to achieve it. Having a disability, voice command allows me to write very quickly without exhausting myself, so it’s indispensable for me. Additionally, I don’t understand why, when copying data from an old Android smartphone to a new one, you don’t get an exact copy of what you had on the old one. You have to reorganize everything, redo your folders from scratch, etc. This is a basic feature, and Android is advanced enough to have this functionality. I will never understand this.

It was basically neck and neck with maybe a slight advantage to pixel in day time. Then night came and it was quite a lot better

what's with yellow tint on Iphone?

I don’t know why iPhone has always had a yellow tint to it’s photos

Does hdr++ work on 50mpx pro mode?

QUEEE!! 😂 No crei ver a Topes de Gamas en Versión del Futuro

Pixel video can be jittery with zoom and it's not as smooth in general. Especially when changing lenses. But damn if it ain't crisp. I really want this phone now lol.

Wow Pixel! Google you've overcome this apple iphone 15 Pro Max'.

When will samsung and pixel have that smooth lens transitioning that iphone has.

I think the only obvious different is the white balance. Ip is warmer & a bit darker. Pixel cooler & a bit brighter. It's a personnel preference. The color for Pixel I think just a bit more contrasty than previous model. The red, blue & green are more deep in colors & video for Pixel somehow it improved.

Wow, first real comparison I see between these two, Great job! From what I see P8 is very good on picture quality, beating Iphone on color accuracy ,consistency, detail and exposure on main and ultrawide, not so on 5x telephoto. For video no chance beating the Iphone, but I didn't think anyone would expect that. Too bad that Pixel is dragged down by that crappy processor. It remains to be seen if other problems will surface with it, like it was with Pixel 7 (modem, signal,battery etc)

Imagine video boost on top of that. Thank you and good night

Vibration while videoing is very much improve already, i think the 9 will kill it

pixel is really the king of photo and also it is surprising how it is more detailed compared to the 5x zoom of iphone since it has 50mp.. and also it is now coping with the videos.. and i cant decide which one has the color accurate

Apple no longer video "king"?

The audio noise reduction in Pixel 8 pro video recording is noticeable

The iPhone looks like it's got a colour filter over the shots where as the pixel looks more natural
