Hey Guys its Sagar from Tecworkz, and in this video I will put the dual cameras on the iPhone
XS Max up against the single camera on the Pixel 3.
These are 2 of the best smartphone cameras in the market right now, so this is going
be a very interesting comparison.
Both phones have similar primary camera with a 12 Megapixel sensor, wide F/1.8 aperture,
individual pixel size of 1.4 micron and OIS. iPhone comes with another 12 megapixel camera
with a 2x telephoto lens, F/2.4 aperture, and OIS.
At the front, iPhone XS Max comes with a 7 megapixel camera with F/2.2 aperture.
While the Pixel 3 comes with a dual camera setup at the front.
Main camera has an 8 megapixel sensor wit F/1.8 aperture, and a 28mm wide lens.
And the secondary camera again has an 8 megapixel sensor, but this one has a F/2.2 aperture
and an ultra wide wide 19mm lens.

Alright now lets get to the images and video samples from both these phones.
All the images have been captures with the HDR plus enhanced mode on the Pixel 3, and
SmartHDR on the iPhone XS Max turned on.
All images from both these phones are excellent to look at.
It is no secret that both these phones capture lot of details.
Almost all of the images are brighter from the iPhone, since it exposes for capturing
more details from the shadows.
Whereas there is more contrast in the images from the Pixel 3, and that makes them look
are bit darker in comparison.
Some people like the contrasty images from the Pixel 3, while other might prefer the
flat images from the iPhone XS Max.
And that is completely normal.
There is a slight magenta hue in some of the images from the Pixel 3.
iPhone shows a bit warmer colours, while the Pixel 3 tends toward showing cooler colours.
But other than that, both capture excellent colours, no matter how the lighting conditions
are.
Here are a few examples where we can see the dynamic range that these phones offer.
HDR plus enhanced mode on the Pixel phones have been the best for a while, when it comes
to capturing these shots.
But the Smart HDR mode on these new iPhones this year also looks very promising.
Again images from the Pixel have more contrast, while the ones from the iPhone are very flat,
but it also means that the iPhone is holding on to much more details in the shadows.
Which you can see as we zoom in on these images.
It might not be a big deal for many, and if you like to use your images straight out of
the camera, then you might prefer the Pixel 3.
But if some of you are interested in editing your images, before you post them any of the
social media platforms, then you know how important these details in the shadows really
are.
Now the iPhone has a 2x telephoto lens, so it will let you take optically zoomed images
like these.
Since these are taken with a dedicated 12 megapixel camera with a telephoto, there are
plenty of details in these shots.
Pixel 3 comes with a single camera, but Google works its computational photography magic,
and it also lets you take these super res zoomed images.
These images are digitally zoomed, so they are not as sharp as the ones from the secondary
camera of the iPhone.
From the first look you might not notice a big difference, but hovering your eyes over
the image, you can see that these zoomed images from the iPhone hold a lot more details.
Coming to close up shots, both again do a very good job.
The subject is in perfect sharp focus, and thanks to the wide F/1.8 aperture on both,
the background is blurred out very nicely.
Now both are fast at switching the focus from far to near objects, but in certain situations
like this, where the subject you are trying on is a bit dar compared to the background,
Pixel 3 took a bit longer to set its focus.
Portrait shots from both these phones are just amazing.
I know I am saying this for all the categories, but remember, these are best of of the best
smartphone cameras in the industry, and there are not many things that the get wrong.
Pixel 3 uses single lens and lot of software assistance to simulate the portrait shots,
while the iPhone XS Max uses the depth information from its secondary lens for these shots.
Both might miss certain parts of hair on occasion in some of these shots, but overall, portrait
shots from both these phones look excellent.
You can change the amount of blur in the background, after you have clicked the images on the Pixel
3.
While on the iPhone you can do that, after or even while you are taking these portrait
shots, and see the changes take effect in real time on the viewfinder.
On the Pixel 3, you cannot see how the portrait shot is going to turn out, until after you
have clicked it.
And even then, it takes a second or 2 to apply this effect.
Portrait mode images from Pixel 3 in lower light are better than the ones from the XS
Max, since the later one uses secondary lens with a narrower aperture, which results in
more noise in the portrait shots.
Both are again very good while taking portrait mode images of objects.
Images from the iPhone are again brighter, and they show more natural looking colours
compared to Pixel 3.
Both are not perfect at detecting the edges, and they can definitely use some refinements
via software updates.
Now as the light gets down, let's see how both these phones perform in artificial and
lower lighting situations.
Both of them do a good job and don't let the brighter part of the lights to be over
exposed in any of its images.
iPhone is capturing true to life and much pleasing looking colours, where as the colours
from the Pixel 3 look a bit muted in comparison.
Now both the phones took a very different approach with this image.
iPhone tried and exposed the entire scene while maintaining good looking colours.
But as a result it also managed to capture much noise in this area.
While the Pixel just decided to expose for the lights, and made all other areas dark,
which also kept the noise level down.
I like both the images as both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
Don't be fooled by these images into thinking that the iPhone XS Max is as good as Pixel
3 in lower lighting situations.
Google has give the Pixel 3 a super power in the form of NightSight mode, which quite
literally let it see in extreme lower lighting situations.
You wont be able to see the actual power of this night sight mode in situations like these,
where there is plenty of ambient light.
But as we move to even darker situations, you can see the night Sight mode on the Pixel
3 being able to capture much and more light.
And it comes to a point where the Pixel can pull out some much information from a scene,
where you can barely see anything with naked eyes.
And in these cases iPhone stands no chance against the pixel 3.
An argument can be made that, you can download a 3rd party camera app on the iPhone, lower
the shutter speed manually and get similar results.
But the fact that Pixel allows you to do this with the native camera app without having
to deal with the manual settings, is just amazing.
That brings us to the front facing cameras.
Both phones capture lot of details, but the images from Pixel 3 are sharper.
Primary lens on the Pixel 3 is already wider than iPhones selfie camera.
And it on top of that it gets another wide camera, which will take ultra wide selfie
like this.
This secondary camera lets you capture so much more of the scene, and you can use it
for taking portrait selfies as well.
Speaking of portrait selfies, both are good at detecting the edges and separating the
subject from the background.
Pixel takes a more masking like approach, so the hair and ears in its portrait images
are kept in focus.
But the iPhone uses plains of focus, to decide which part of the face should be in focus,
which is how actual DSLR cameras does it.
Sometimes iPhone does well to keep all the faces in focus, if you have multiple people
in the portrait shot.
While in other it only keeps the face closest to the camera in focus and blurs the other
ones.
Here is a video from the front facing camera of the iPhone XS Max and the Pixel 3.
You can see how both these phones are handling the overall stabilisation as I am walking
around with them, colours and the exposure.
The difference is subtle, but iPhone is better at keeping the video stable from the front
facing camera.
Here I left both the cameras on a rig while I was taking a few shots.
It was very windy, so the phones were shaking a bit, and you can see that shake in the video
from the Pixel 3, while the video from iPhone is completely stable.
Here are 4k 30fps video samples from both the phones.
Both the phones have Optical Stabilisation, so the videos are very stable.
iPhone is much better at handling the change in exposure, and it also shows overall better
colours.
Videos from the iPhone are of higher bitrate, and for some reason, they are much pleasing
to look at.
On the iPhone XS Max you can take 1080p videos at 240fps, but Pixel can only do 120fps while
shooting at 1080p.
If you want to take 240fps videos, the resolution drops down to 720p.
When it comes to video capture, iPhone is better than the Pixel 3 at any resolution.
So after looking at over 70image and video samples, it is still difficult to choose a
clear winner.
There are certain areas where both are neck to neck, some areas where iPhone is better
and some areas like low light where Pixel 3 leaves the iPhone way behind.
To remind you again, these are 2 of the best cameras in the industry, so one is not drastically
better than the other.
Instead of which one is better, you will have to decide which one is right for you.
If you want your images to look good right out of the camera, or if you shoot lot of
low light images and you think NightSight is something you will be using very often,
then Pixel 3 is the one for you.
But if you like to have better dynamic range in your images, better looking colours, and
if you shoot lot of videos then iPhone XS or the XS Max should be your choice.
So it all comes down to your needs and personal preference.
I know some of you prefer the iPhone and many of you would like to go with the Pixel.
And for some reason you guys like to show it in the comments section, buy showing how
much you hate the other one.
But try and understand that both the phones are excellent at what they do, and one of
them doesn't become bad because prefer to use the other one.
That being said, I am always interested in hearing your thoughts, and knowing which one
of these will you choose and why.
That is
it for this video guys.
