+Donavon Hornbeck Thanks, much appreciated! Several others far greater to me but I hope I bring my own perspective to the conversation. Hope to be more natural on camera like you one day 😀👍
Tried both. I like pixel better overall. The iPhone has better video but the pixel takes better photos. It's unreal how good the front facing camera is on the pixel. Nice unbiased comparison man! You did a fantastic job.
Your dog is absolutely beautiful!!! 🐶❤️ Wow! Great camera comparison!!!!!! I wish lots of people could see this video because it would give them a very good idea of what to expect from both phones. Keep up the great work!!!!
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
This is the BEST camera comparison that I have ever seen. No offense to Mr Jwill. I agree with what you said. It seems like the iPhone X has trouble with things that are very white. It probably wouldn't be noticeable except when it was being compared to another good camera. This comparison is the most comprehensive I have ever seen. Completely engrossing. Keep up the great work. Michael.
It does capture the voice better yes but once you bring background noise in like waterfall street noises it becomes really high pitched tinny sound. Google is gonna fix that though but for now the audio goes to the iphone. I'm getting a pixel 2 xl just letting you know so I dont sound bias or anything.
KevinMulia Recheck the portion of video after 6:00. I know what you're saying, but the choice it clear here: his voice on both phones is fine, but the background for Pixel2 sounds underwater, or like muffled digital noise. The kind of sound i don't want in memories I'm trying to record and keep! Cheers
Great comparison! I have both phones, and I'm pretty much aligned. I prefer the pictures on the pixel 2, and the video on the iPhone. The fact that you can shoot 4k at 60fps is just awesome. Lowlight video on the X is better as well. Audio on the p2 is much better, as is stabilization. For me, when you factor in price, the pixel 2 is the better overall camera.
EW you really prefer that audio? It may be louder, but sounds like audio from a phone 10 years old. You can always turn up the iPhone audio afterwards and it will sound much fuller.
iPhone X HDR is super good. I prefer Pixel macro shots a lot more - the extra micro contrast makes the detail pop. Pixel audio >> iPhone no contest. Looks like the Pixel is heavy handed on the saturation at 4k. Pixel seems to be more consistent in front facing exposure. Portrait mode is on point as well. Both awesome performers, great video Grant!
Lol you prefer that audio? It's little wonder speakers and music sounds so crap today :) Just because it records into the file at a louder volume, people like it more...
Rennie Ash the audio is way better in pixel xl2, there is nothing you can say and be stupid about, in iphone x you can hear the wind more than the person talking, but the pixel, well its a different league
Tough call, results seemed mixed to me. Pixel front camera crushed the IPhone X with the details clearly standing out. IPhone seemed to bring in light better most of the time, especially in low light. It generally lacked the great attention to detail as the Pixel again though. At times the Pixels colors looked off though. Did that sky really look torquoise? I give it to the Pixel because I thought it generally shot what was directly in front of it better.
Yeah, on the Pixel there was some strange color issues with the sky going on in some shots. The white balance somehow was completely off. A bit strange, because on most pictures the Pixel gets the white balance quite good.
people might say that the Iphone X has a better camera, but if you think about it, this is googles 2nd phone and the Iphone X is apples 10th Iphone and the Pixel 2 XL BEATS the Iphone X
Thanks for a VERY elaborate comparison! I think camera's have so many different uses and scenarios, and a lot of camera comparison videos don't get indepth enough. This was great!
This is the best review video i have watched comparing these two phones so far. Thanks for making things clear for me on which phone to get. keep up the great work
@@princebanini iPhone is certainly more than good enough for filming content for RU-vid. You may also want to invest in a lav mic to improve the audio as well. They can be found for around $20 on Amazon.
This is the best camera comparison in RU-vid!! Keep up the very incredible work!! I would be delighted to see more comparisons!! Pls do a comparison between iPhone X and Huawei P20 Pro!!!
Well, I buy all my phones and believe it or not that can be a bit expensive. iPhone prices don't really drop for a long time, so not much choice there. I just don't believe in paying crazy prices to import the P20 Pro. I may get the non-Pro as that seems like a better buy right now.
One of the best cam comparison I ve seen ...deserves millions of likes ... some famous RU-vidrs don’t even compares well but they get more likes coz of popularity.. this video is an example of great phone comparison .. keep it up
This is one of my first time watching your comparison videos. I appreciate the effort you put into this! And also on such new hot phones that everyone is checking into. I hope my videos are this good when I get to they're comparing stage. Heck I haven't even got to the review stage yet, but this is an excellent video!
I'm not a iPhone guy, but I preferred it about 2 thirds of the time. iPhone has a general pick hue, while the Pixel 2 has a greenish. Very, very close. Personal preference, as you say.
Yes, thank you! I’ve been seeing other comments stating that Pixel has better coloring, but it just looks off to me. Both phones have their hiccups, but I️ think the X is just a lil better.
Wow this camera comparison is like one of the best if not the best I've seen on RU-vid. Very in depth review too. Your comparison routine is very unique. Keep up the good work Grant. (Ford GT)
One of the best camera comparisons I've seen on RU-vid. Love the color accuracy of the pixel 2 XL if they could just correct the under exposure it would probably be the best camera on a Smart. iPhone pictures are to yellowish and slightly overexposed.
Thank you so much for the comprehensive comparison of the two phones! Not all users have the luxury of taking outdoor photos prior to buying the phone and you did that for us! Thank you! Think I know which phone to get now! :)
Wow!! Awesome music, pics and videos!! The Pixel Audio is crystal clear no background noise just your voice the iPhone I hear a lot of background noise. The iPhone did better in the zoom tests but all it's pics look touched up and 2 soft. I love the crisp look of the Pixel. The Pixel was also a little more stable in the video tests. Great Comparison Vid Thank You
Just found your channel and I gotta say, I'm digging it so far. This was a really in-depth camera comparison and helped me see just how similar yet different the cameras are. You earned yourself a new sub!
First, amazing video. As to photos, I’d classify it like this. The iPhone X looks like a very very good phone camera. The Pixel 2 looks almost like a DSLR, the detail, dynamic range and contrast ratio is incredible. The Pixel is clearly the better in low light and its front camera is significantly better with the iPhone looking softer. As to video, the iPhone may actually have the edge here, save for stabilisation which can be very important. This video has fairly stable walking with the phones I assume both attached to a simple rig. Start bouncing about more , as you would be in a real life environment where you are probably not so smoothly walking and holding the phone so steady, and that Pixel shines. Overall as he says there’s shots you can get on the Pixel you cannot get on the iPhone, as a photography lover myself there is just something about those shots that is subtle but makes a big difference. Google did a phenomenal job with that phone save the blue tint screen at angles.
Great comparison. I lean slightly towards the bit more saturated iPhone images color wise, that extra little pop is pleasing to the eye, but the Pixel image details are just amazing in comparison. I don't know what extra stuff their sensor has or what they're doing software wise but the detail of the hairs on the dog pictures are night and day, and it's not like it's being overprocessed(like Samsung tends to do), it's like the sensor takes in more information somehow because it still looks very natural. Now for video, they are fairly close in quality, but I think I see why people have complained about the Pixel audio now. It is continuously processing noise cancellation, and you can easily hear it with the windy shot of that tower with the plane noise, where the iPhone keeps in the wind noise and plane in the background, but the Pixel completely cuts out any wind and the plane sounds muffled, and this adds a very processed tinny tone to the audio. Maybe they can accommodate an option to turn that completely off or lower how much processing is being done on the audio. I do like that it's much louder though, just way overprocessed.
Thank you so much. Cameras are probably one of the most important and frequently used features of phones yet other reviews don't pay enough attention to it. You covered various real life conditions thus provided an excellent comparison. I think you've won yourself a new subscriber.
Best camera comparison. Pixel 2's Audio and image quality is hand down one of the best in smartphones. Audio quality is worst on iphone its strange.. PIXEL 2 😍
The biggest takeaway from this video is that no matter which phone you choose, it's a win. Which phone you choose is up to your preference. This is the most in depth camera comparison video I've seen of these two devices.
TLDW, iPhone overexposes and loses some details in normal lighting conditions. Pixel has better details in normal light but performs worse than iPhone in low light.
Smartphone cameras are so good these days. Every single company improved so much over the years. Differences between models are minimal. Theres no right or wrong anymore between the flagship phones. I went with the Lg V30 for that sick focus peaking feature. But you would have a great time with any camera. Great video btw!
Pixel's camera is way ahead of iPhone's, anyone who say's anything other than that is either a fanboy or blind. iPhone overexposes, loses detail and fails at color reproduction, the depth of field is realistic and better but the lack of detail ruins it. 11:10 says it all !
Shocky people to this day still can’t use the iPhones camera. They just point and shoot not understanding how this lens is prepped to take a photo. I can easily show you pictures that will blow your mind with this iPhone X because I understand the lens.
I agree, the auto nubs can make any lens look bad, but that's mostly for DSLRs, a smartphone however has to be consistent with its photos in auto mode, and you have to give it up to Google for the brilliant software optimization, hence the win for the Pixel in this comparison :).
That was...alright...very entertaining and interesting conclusions for me personally... I would share them but I doubt anyone cares LoL 😂 Always enjoy these kind of videos coming from you as you do great work...thank you and keep them coming mate 😀👍
The colours on iPhone X photos seem to be off most of the time. Pixel 2 XL wins in terms of producing better still images. But for videos I prefer iPhone, especially when it comes to shooting in a blue sky condition. The blue colour looks green-ish on Pixel 2 XL videos... not good. And the audio coming from Pixel 2 XL is just atrocious.
the pixel's stabilization wins it for me though. in real life, that is more useful for me. the audio has been fixed in the November update, and is much cleaner now.
There's not a big difference with the people on the Apple Store pic. It could potentially zoom in though. You cannot fix over saturation as easily as just reducing the brightness. There are times where the Pixel would also show you your subjects in "police work" where as the iPhone would be over exposed. The only person you're fooling is yourself, picking one thing to convince yourself while ignoring everything else...
I feel the Pixel takes slightly clearer pictures but too "cool" iPhone is a little bit too warm. Both seem a little off. But that stabilization in video mode on the Pixel is insane.
Video and audio to the iPhone. Still photos to the Pixel 2. Overall the iPhone is the more consistent performer, but if a still camera is all you want, then the Pixel 2 is great. Especially in sunset/sunrise pictures, where most phones struggle. iPhone also does a bit of Samsung boosting colours in the still pictures...
Awesome review man.. I just couldn’t keep up - you speak so fast man! Hehe. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, the most recent iPhone cameras capture colours really accurately, more so than pretty much all the smart phones out there. Another thing I love is the video capture. Even my trusty 6s blows me away, anytime I film in 4K. Greetings from the UK.
Lol, thanks for the feedback. I know I speak too fast, working on it. I feel the iPhone 8 and X went away from natural color processing and are now much more saturated. Hope all is well in the UK!
Wow..so hard to compare..I think both have pros/cons. Sound on Pixel feel like ...mmmm so robotics.on Iphone is more natural but low..4k i.like on iPhone, Pixel is good too....pic quality is hardest one.. 50/50..and I watch this video on my htc u11 and I love the dack on this phone......it's just pleasure to watch your video on this headphones..Great video..and great team here in the comments line.:)
Great job grant!! The best when it comes to camera comparison, true and authentic.. results shows on the number on likes and views you get!! That zoom capability on the X is amazing!!
Why is no one mad about the pixel 2 audio qaulity? Out of all the problems that seems the be the biggest glaring issue with it... After writing this I realized I'm wearing the same shirt as you so that's wierd..
I agree, I want to get a pixel but the noise cancellation is way too aggressive. A lot of people just hear louder voice = better. But it’s so tinny and horribly distorted if you listen on anything better than a phone speaker that it’s a real turn off
Noise cancellation software is easily fixable.. both suck at audio tho, 1000 bucks n dey can't even give stereo audio capture... Damn even OnePlus does dat nowadays! Great cameras, held back by cost cutting.
Some people actually praise that audio. Given how everyone seems to only like phone speakers as hifi these days, it's little wonder that everything sounds like trash. If it's louder with boosted up treble, they like it. If it pumps them in the chest with bass, they like it. No matter how distorted or tin can it sounds...
Pixel has good still photos but when recording in 4k the colours are a mess also you didn't show the 4k 60fps on the iPhone. Overall good video keep up the good work.
In a nutshell Google Pixel 2 for front camera, iPhone X for rear camera. Here's my breakdown after watching the video. Pixel 2 clearly take better selfies in just about every scenario. Daylight, lowlight, indoors, outdoors. Much better portrait mode with front camera on pixel. I think iPhone had the better lowlight and daylight photos overall, but when facing the sunlight, the pixel handled the scenery much better. Not over exposing, and holding on to the dynamic range. The iPhone failed miserably when facing the sun, but when looking away, it had the better pictures. I give the edge to Pixel 2 in daylight video recording, because of stabilization, but the iPhone X seemed to focus better. The iPhone X has the edge in lowlight video. Pixel 2 seemed to have some sort of blur (if you will), in lowlight. Tough choice, but overall I think I would choose the Pixel as well.
Awesome review brother, a little long, but you covered a lot of areas. I acknowledge my bias that I just don't see myself returning to iOS anytime soon, but it was refreshing to see an honest comparison. I wish you well. Again, thanks.
Rennie Ash but it does affect the portrait mode with 56mm focal length. You will notice a slight distortion on Pixel's portrait photos, which is caused by the 28mm wide lens.
I notice the pictures on the iPhone are over all warmer but I see far more hot spots on the highlights there too. The Pixel 2 shots may not be bright color-rich but the dynamic range is so much better than the iPhone's, meaning that post production, if needed, on the Pixel 2 would be much better than on the iPhone. The video stabilization is also so much better on the Pixel 2... I'm starting to love that cell...
