The photographic styles on the iPhone makes the color difference between the two pointless since you can make it cooler or warmer with the slider

ikr right, you like warmer tones just set a style and go with it…

Well, it’s a good job Google’s used to their Pixels tanking every year 🤭

Pixel wins. And the photographic styles are already available on better camera phones like Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi. Take for instance the Zeiss and Leica modes on these phones. Apple sells yesterday’s tech for tomorrow prices. It’s a shame that a company that big and with immense capabilities is copying tech….

It’s wild how they get away with it. Their biggest strong hold are the tech reviewers who disguised themselves as unbiased but deep down they are hardcore Apple fanboys

1:51 I don’t agree. Look at the roof, the pixel controlled the light much better. Also, in the 2nd picture, if you look at the windows, you can see the building outside more clearly.

at 6:54 you say it’s the Pixel 9 photo of the indoor restaurant with the disco ball, etc…. yet this is the image with the non-blown-out neon sign. You’d previously said that the image with the blown out neon sign was the Pixel and the one that showed the neon sign was the Iphone. So… which is it?

In the thumbnail, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a Xiaomi 14 Ultra!

If not comparing them side by side they both look great. I wouldn’t base my purchasing decision on the camera alone.

When making a video on the image quality of a camera, please publish the video in 4K! So we get a better idea of how the images really look in high resolution.

It’s 2024 and you are uploading a video in 1080p. That’s a crime and makes the camera comparison very difficult to analyze.

I’m really impressed with the Pixel’s color reproduction. The colors seem more vibrant and accurate to me. It’s a noticeable difference. While the iPhone 16 Pro’s new photographic styles offer a unique perspective, they don’t quite hit the mark. They provide more flexibility, but their straight-out-of-camera quality falls short compared to the Pixel 9 Pro, which requires no editing.

@@Jo5ue1 exactly, for the best point and shot and post camera in the US market. You can’t go wrong with the Pixel. Plus you have pro controls on the Pixel camera where on the iPhone you will need to purchase a third party pro-camera app just to get those same features that come already installed in the Pixel. And if you are an amateur photographer you could shoot RAW and edit your photos on the Lightroom app and color grade it with black & white style if you want it will look a lot better less processed than the iPhone ProRaw

Kinda strange that you complained on how the Pixel blew up the yellow sign at minute 4:20 and later on the video the same picture comes up at minute 6:55 and that same yellow sign looks properly exposed. Very strange I will say, makes me wonder how these Apple enthusiasts who also claim to be unbiased reviewers modify these pics just to make their favorite phone look better.

This! I was just reading comments on the other iPhone vs Google Pixel videos saying that those “influencers” who have a relationship with Apple really have to go out of their way to make Pixel photos look worse 😂
@Ampedup562
October 7, 2024 at 1:54 pm
@@MilkKomsonChannel but they have to do it subtly in a clever and indirect way in order to achieve that unbiased feel. They kinda messed up here though in showing that same Pixel image showing that bright yellow sign not blown as pointed out in the first pic.

This is not a comparison between cameras. It’s comparison between image processing software. People really need to start understanding this.

Social Media has some deal with Apple, Any video uploaded from any Android looks lame on IG/Tiktok, whereas it’s excellent looking when uploaded from Apple.
Photo = Pixel is Better especially in low light
Video and Smoothness of Use = Apple is King

I saw you rushing to dismiss one pixel photo – as I guess it looked better then the one taken with an iphone?
