Hey guys It's Sagar from Tecworkz.
If you are planning to get the iPhone XR, chances are that you might be using the iPhone
7 or an even earlier model, and you might be wondering how much better the camera on
the XR is compared to the phone you are using.
So in this video, we will compare the camera on the iPhone XR with the camera on the iPhone
7, and see how much of an improvement you are getting.
Both the phones have single cameras at the back, and specs on both might seem similar
at quick glance.
But there are numerous improvements on the camera of the iPhone XR, both hardware and
software wise.
Both the phones have 12 megapixel cameras with F/1.8 aperture, but the iPhone XR has
a much bigger sensor where size of each individual pixel is 1.4 micron.
iPhone 7 has a 28mm lens, whereas the XR has a slightly wider 26mm lens, and both the cameras
are optically stabilised.
iPhone XR, XS and XS Max share the same exact primary camera.
iPhone 7 has HDR functionality, but thanks to A12 bionic chip, iPhone XR has the power
of Apple's new computational photography algorithms.
It can take portrait mode images even tough it just has a single camera.
On the iPhone 7, you can shoot 4k videos at 30fps, 1080p videos at 30, 60 and 120fps,
and 720p videos at 240fps.
iPhone XR lets you shoot 4k videos at 24, 30 and 60fps, and 1080p videos at 30, 60,
120 and 240fps.
Both the phones have 7 megapixel front facing camera, with F/2.2 aperture, but the iPhone
XR is also capable of taking portrait mode images and shooting 1080p 60fps videos.
Now with the specifications out of the way, let us check out the image and video samples
from both these smartphones.
But before that, make sure to hit the subscribe button, so you don't miss out on any of
the amazing videos coming up on this channel.
All these images have been shot with smart HDR and HDR turned on, on the iPhone XR and
iPhone 7 respectively.
iPhone XR has a slightly wider lens of the two, so you get a bit more of the scene in
your shot.
The sensor on the XR is also much larger than on the iPhone 7, so it can capture more information,
so its images show more details.
Starting with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus last year, Apple changed the way they process colours
in the images taken with these new iPhones.
So while the colours from the iPhone XR seem more saturated and viabrant, iPhone 7 actually
shows more accurate and true to life colours.
That being said, I bump up the saturation a bit in almost all of of the images that
I edit, so I prefer the punchy colours from iPhone XR.
Now Smart HDR is one of the best addition to this years iPhones.
And you can see in these images, It offers an amazing dynamic range.
It stacks multiple images with various exposures, and uses some smart algorithms to reduce the
overall noise from these shots.
As a result, we get much better HDR shots compared to any of the previous generation
iPhones.
From these images, it is clear that the iPhone XR brings up much more details from the shadows,
while preserving the highlights, and making the images look more pleasing, compared to
the ones from the iPhone 7.
In almost all of these shots, we see richer colours, better details, and and better dynamic
range from the iPhone XR.
This doesn't mean the iPhone 7 isn't good enough.
In my opinion even after all these years, I feel that camera on the iPhone 7 is better
than many of the android smartphones in the market.
Hit the like button if you want me to compare the camera on the iPhone 7 with something
like the OnePlus 6T or other android smartphones.
Before we move on to the close up and macro shots, here is a quick focusing test between
both these smartphones.
Now there are twice the amount of focus pixels on the XR compared to last years iPhones,
and what that means is, it should be much faster than the iPhone 7 at this.
There is a noticeable speed difference, but only if you compare them side by side.
What is more apparent is the way in which both of them switch the focus.
Look at this video from iPhone 7, the transition in focus is not smooth, it's as if it gradually
changes the focus in steps.
Where as on the iPhone XR, the transition is not only faster, but also much smoother,
giving the video a very smooth flow.
Quick and accurate focusing is important while taking these close up shots.
Once the focus is set, both are taking incredible close up shots.
Thanks to a very wide F/1.8 aperture, the background in these shots is blurred out very
nicely, leaving the subject in sharp focus.
XR's images handle the exposure in the scene properly, and thanks to slightly punchier
colours, its images look better overall.
All of these are close up shots and not portrait shots, and all the blurring of background
is due to the optical lenses and not achieved via software.
Speaking of portrait mode, iPhone 7 cant take images in this mode, but the XR with its single
lens can.
It is really good and accurate at detecting the edges and separating the background.
It doesn't allow you to take portrait images of objects via the native camera app.
But there is a work around for that, and you should watch my dedicated camera review of
the iPhone XR, which I will leave a link to in the description, to know more about that.
Now moving on to indoor shots in artificial lighting conditions, both the cameras still
continue to impress.
XR continues to show better dynamic range, thanks to smart HDR, but the iPhone 7 is also
doing pretty good in most of these shots.
As we move to taking images in even lower light, XR captures more details of the two.
It also captures less noise, which is a result of having a larger physical sensor and better
image processing on Apple's latest A12 Bionic chip.
If you zoom in, images from the XR are also sharper when compared side by side to the
images from iPhone 7.
And as I've pointed out before, it also shows better exposure, thanks to Smart HDR
working in these situations as well, to make sure that images are evenly lit.
Just look at how well the XR handles the brighter areas, which are almost completely blown out
on the iPhone 7.
In this image from the iPhone 7, you just cannot make out whats written with the light
on the wall, but it is clearly visible in the images of the iPhone XR.
Here are few more low light shots, so you can see the difference for yourself.
Coming to the front facing camera.
While again the camera hardware might not be too different on both these phones, but
the resulting images, surely have lot of differences.
Images from the XR seem slightly detailed, and they also show much better skin tones.
Overall colours and exposure of the shots are also better from the XR, since it used
the same Smart HDR algorithms on the selfie camera as well.
Low light selfie from both these phones are not the best or most detailed, but the ones
from the XR show a bit less noise.
On the XR you can also take portrait selfies, where the subject is in sharp focus and the
background is blurred out.
It is pretty accurate at detecting the edges, but it might miss certain parts of hair, on
occasion.
Hopefully, this mode will be getting better with time.
Here is a video sample with the front facing camera of the iPhone 7 and iPhone XR.
Frame on the iPhone XR is a bit cropped in, but it is showing better dynamic range and
overall better stabilisation in this video.
Video capture on the iPhone 7 tops off at 4k 30fps, but you have the option to capture
4k 60fps videos on the iPhone XR.
Both the phones offer good stabilised videos, thanks to OIS and Apple cinematic stabilisation.
XR is better than the 7 at handling the abrupt change in exposure, while shooting these videos.
For slow motion, XR can shoot 240fps footage at 1080p resolution, whereas 7 tops while
shooting 120fps footage at 1080p resolution.
So after looking at these image and video samples, we know that the XR is a better and
improved camera, specially in lower light.
Daylight images also show a bit of improvements, specially in terms of details and dynamic
range.
And if you like taking portrait images, XR is the only one between the two, capable of
doing that.
If you are looking to buy a new iPhone, then XR should be your obvious choice of the two.
You get a better camera, more colour options, premium built, wireless charging, faster internals
and a much bigger display.
But if you are already using an iPhone 7, and are not sure wether you should make the
switch, I suggest you guys go back to the start of the images, mute the video, watch
it in the highest resolution that your device or internet bandwidth supports.
And if you find it difficult to point out the difference in images between both these
phones, then you can probable keep on using your iPhone 7 for another year.
But if the difference is very apparent to you in most of the images, then it is time
to make the switch.
So after looking at all these image and video samples, what do you guys think about the
cameras on these two phones?
Let me know in the comments.
