yo what's good friends Jonathan in this video I got some extra spicy too hot for
TV hotness for you we're gonna be comparing the pixel three XL up against
the galaxy s ten plus an epic camera shootout the loser is gonna get tossed
into a pit of Egyptian beetles that are rabid they're starving they've been put
up for adoption but they're just way too ugly for anybody to take so they're mean
so grab your grandma grab your grandpa grab your best friend grab that ice
cream truck driver that keeps offering you a blow pop even though you're 30
years old now let's do this alright I kicked this video off we're gonna be
doing some front-facing camera video test we got the pixel three XL and the
galaxy s 10 plus Galaxy S ten plus looking a little wider plus it's in 4k
pixel three XL is looking a little punched in a little muddy how's the
stabilization how's the audio on both when comparing the Galaxy has 10 plus 2
the pixel 3xl I figured this was going to be a blowout and a definite win for
the pixel but after looking at a ton of images its way closer than I imagined
the one thing to sit out to me almost immediately with the daytime shots is
just how much more dynamic range the galaxy s tim plus has 99% of the time
this isn't always the case as there is still that 1% and you can see it here in
the lily pads it's very apparent in the shadows as the pixel 3 is a little too
aggressive with the contrast whereas the galaxy s 10 Plus tends to brighten the
image quite a bit while retaining plenty of highlight detail and shadow detail
the amount of dynamic range Samsung is able to squeeze out of the sensor is
pretty insane you can really see what I mean here with the Galaxy S 10 pushed
with more detail on a sidewalk to the left on the car to the right while also
showing more detail in the shadows of the fine and showcasing clouds in the
sky it doesn't always play out this way as
when we're dealing with live focus versus portrait mode on the pixel 3 the
galaxy s 10 plus tends to overexpose skin tones resulting in clipping at
times or the lack of detail whereas the pixel delivers more detail by increasing
the contrast and darkening the image whether or not one is better than the
other comes down to personal preference however what I will say is that Samsung
gives you a little bit more flexibility to manipulate the image whereas Google
crushes the darker parts of the image to the point where you can't really bring
back some of the areas while I'm not a fan of the
skin smoothing on the s10 or any phone for that matter the pixel goes too far
at times with the detail it ends up accentuated some of the most
unflattering features of your face like your hair follicles pores or if you have
acne I love the pixel threes front-facing
wide-angle portrait mode and when compared to the wider angled live focus
mode the pixel 3 looks much better in my personal opinion in terms of reliability
and which has the more accurate portrait mode I think it comes down to preference
again the S 10 has greater flexibility and allows you to be farther away from
your subject such as the fountain shot here with a pixel failed to capture
after multiple attempts it also tends to have more natural roll-off and resembles
more of a DSLR or mirrorless camera that said the pixel 3 just looks absolutely
stunning when it hits and the subject detection is amazing for a single camera
system the pixel also tends to land a bit warmer in most scenarios while the s
10 plus is slightly cooler I would say that the s 10 plus does have the more
accurate look while the pixel 3 has more vibrancy with colors that just pop the
pixel 3 has super resume which is supposed to give you a lossless zoom it
works decently but when you compare it to the telephoto lens on the S 10 plus
the telephoto lens is definitely better one way the galaxy s 10 plus for sure'
beats out the pixel 3 is with the wide-angle camera you can fit your
entire family plus your crazy neighbors and the stray llama that keeps pulling
on your yard all in one shot easily and low-light things get a little strange
after doing a bunch of tests I decided to use the scene optimizer on the s10
plus for this comparison since Google is using its own AI based algorithms to
process the image the results are quite interesting Google tends to produce a
sharper and more detailed image but tends always mess up the white balance
the galaxy s 10 plus produces more true-to-life
accurate colors with less detail this comes down to the aggressive noise
reduction that the s 10 plus is using when not using nitesite on the pixel 3
you can see the images are actually a little bit noisier than they are on the
s 10 plus nitesite fixes this issue most of the time but there are times where
even with nice sight on that images are very close dynamic range at night is so
back-and-forth with each of these phones it's hard to judge
which is actually better at times the pixel three has better shadow detail but
at the cost of highlight clipping and other times the role is just reversed
however there are times where the estin plus produces better highlight in shadow
detail which to pixel three also does when night sight is enabled using
portrait mode at night completely changes everything the galaxy s 10 plus
is very inconsistent and sometimes looks fine but other times looks like a muddy
mess with no detail in fact it's so bad that the image almost looks like it's
out of focus the pixel 3 images are not amazing by any means but given the
circumstances and what it's being compared to its like Leonardo da Vinci
being compared to an elementary finger paint artist when looking at video
things pretty much stay the same both phones can capture 4k video however the
s 10 plus edge is out ahead by also being able to shoot 4k 60 frames per
second and also being able to record HDR 10 Plus video for extreme dynamic range
in full auto the s 10 plus produces a brighter and sharper image with colors
that are more vivid the pixel 3 at times does seem to have better dynamic range
for a split second or two like you see here however the image is not as sharp
and the colors are a bit muted when compared to the s 10 this particular
shot is tough for me because I love the cinematic vibe of the pixel but the s 2
looks ready to go straight out of the camera both phones tend to control
flares pretty good during video however I would give the slight edge to the s 10
both phones can do some type of slow-motion the pixel 3 can do 120
frames per second and 240 frames per second which looks a little bit better
than the 240 frames per second on the s 10 plus and definitely better than the
960 frames per second that's it it's just passable stabilization is actually
really good on both phones the pixel 3 uses software stabilization whereas the
s 10 plus uses oh I yes and a form of digital stabilization both phones have
tricks up their sleeves when it comes to this the pixel 3 is an additional layer
of stabilization that can be applied after you record your video while the
Galaxy S teen has super steady shot which uses the same tech as the GoPro
Hero 7 low-light video isn't the greatest on either phone however the
Galaxy S 10 takes the cake here not only for having a sharper image but also
since the pixel 3 uses software stabilization you can see the micro
jitters in movements which is a limitation
the software front-facing video is the same story both look like a blended turd
with a dash of porcupine urine however the s10 does look ever so slightly
better hi friends so here's the deal both phones have their strengths and
their weaknesses but the galaxy s 10 plus has a dual aperture it's got a wide
angle and a telephoto camera it's got oh I yes it's got HDR 10 plus for video and
it's got super steady shots the pixel 3 XL has some of the best portrait mode
processing I have ever seen on any smartphone and it does it with a single
camera which is just awesome it's got some of these sharpest images I have
ever seen coming from a smartphone it's kind of crazy if you want to see in the
dark it's got a nice sight which basically sees further than what the
human eye can see and it works extremely well it's got great dynamic range and
you get two stages of video stabilization as well as auto focus
tracking in 4k so it does a lot of things right even in video however the
question is if I had to pick one which one would it be I would pick the galaxy
s 10 plus it's not to say 2 pixel 3 XL or the pixel 3 in general is bad I just
feel the galaxy s 10 does a better job in most situations the pixel 3
definitely dominates the galaxy has 10 when it comes to portrait mode
especially in low light but that's pretty much the only area where the
pixel kills the galaxy s 10 other than that I think that the galaxy s 10 offers
more and it's a more rounded camera giving you the best video and the best
photo features of these two phones but what are you beautiful gorgeous
