what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back for this camera comparison we have
the pixel 5 and the iphone 12 pro max so the best phone from on google right now and the best phone
from apple keep in mind that the iphone is much more expensive than the pixel 5 and on the back of
the iphone we also have an extra telephoto lens so as always through this video we are going to see
a bunch of daytime pictures we have nighttime pictures we have sample videos and tours the
end some selfies and with that being said don't forget to press that like button and let's start
by checking out some pictures that i took the ultra wide lenses on the back of these two devices
all right so the first thing you're gonna notice for those pictures taken by the ultra wide lenses
is how much wider the field of view from the iphone 12 from ax is compared to the pictures
that i took with the pixel 5. also if you look close enough for those pictures you're going to
notice that every single picture taken by the iphone is sharper now for color accuracy i feel
that the pixel 5 does a bit better the iphone 12 pro max has somewhat more saturated colors as for
dynamic range once again i feel the pixel 5 does a bit better but because those pictures are sharper
from the iphone 12 pro max i feel that that's the winner for the pictures taken by the ultra
white lenses but what do you guys think which pictures do you prefer with the ultra wide lens
the ones taken by the iphone 12 pro max or the pixel 5. definitely leave a comment and let me
know next we're moving on to some zoom pictures and as i said earlier there is no telephoto
lens on the back of the pixel 5 so all the zoom pictures that you are about to see were digital
zoom from the pixel 5 where the iphone 12 from ax uses a combination of digital
and optical zoom and um here i've done five times zoom and of course um the iphone 12 pro max does
seem to do better in every single picture mostly because the pictures are way sharper
so for zoom pictures once again i feel that the iphone 12 pro max is the better one
moving on to some portrait mode pictures well here the iphone may have the brighter and maybe the
most appealing looking pictures but if you look close enough with my face and my girlfriend's face
you're gonna notice that only the pixel 5 actually retains the details of our faces
with the pictures taken by the iphone 12 pro max we almost have like a filter over our faces
so personally i'm gonna choose the portrait mode pictures taken by the pixel 5. they do look better
at least in my opinion but once again check out these pictures and let me know in the comment down
below your preference moving on to pictures i took the main lenses on the back of these two devices
well here it's gonna come down to your personal preference because both devices do take really
good looking pictures the sharpness of the picture seems to be the same however the iphone does seem
to have somewhat brighter pictures and also a bit more saturated so if you want your pictures to
pop a bit more you're probably going to prefer the pictures from the iphone but if you want
more realistic looking pictures i feel that you're going to prefer the ones from the pixel 5. i've
also noticed the dynamic range in most pictures is better from the pictures taken by the pixel 5.
so i'm going to let you guys watch a few more pictures but definitely leave a comment and let
me know your thoughts for the pictures taken by the main cameras on the back of these two devices
all right and we're moving on to some nighttime pictures that i took with the pixel 5 and of
course the iphone 12 pro max so for all the nighttime pictures that you're about to see
i use the night modes on both devices and both devices have a night mode for the ultra wide
lens and of course for the main camera and we're starting with some pictures that i took with
the ultra wide lenses here every single picture that i took of the iphone 12 pro max seems to be
sharper so every single one of them however the pictures from the pixel 5 do seem a bit
brighter but they also introduce a lot more noise so i'm gonna say that for the ultrawide lens even
though none of them does that great to the ultra wide lens the iphone 12 pro max does seem to do
better than the pixel 5. once again let me know your thoughts in a comment down below
if you disagree with me of course and we are moving on to pictures that i took with the main
cameras on the back of these two devices and once again using the night modes on both of them now
looking at those pictures i have to say that every single picture taken by the iphone 12 pro max is
sharper so every single one of them now the iphone is also using somewhat more saturated colors
but personally i feel that i prefer every single picture i'm taking by the iphone 12 pro max for uh
the night mode now there used to be a time when the pixel phones were the best for uh nighttime
pictures but that seems to have changed quite a lot over the past couple of years so personally i
prefer all the nighttime pictures um taken by the iphone 12 pro max through the ultra wide lens and
with the main lens once again leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts next
we're going to move on and check out some sample video recordings that i took with the pixel 5 and
of course the iphone 12 pro max now one thing that i've noticed here if you are recording with the
front-facing cameras the sound from the internal microphone sees better from the iphone 12 from x
but if you are recording with the rear cameras the sound seems to be picked up better by
the pixel 5. also the iphone 12 pro max struggles quite a lot when it's windy when it's ready you
can barely hear anything from those recordings from the microphone as for video quality i feel
that the iphone does a bit better but for the pixel 5 the pixel wasn't the best at videos
before the pixel 5. i feel that it does quite good now as well for nighttime recordings once again
the iphone does have the better recordings mostly because it has less noise in those recordings the
recordings from the pixel 5 are a bit brighter but they also have a lot more noise in them so
i'm going to let you guys watch those sample recordings and i will be right back all right
i also wanted to show you how recording um with the front-facing cameras on the pixel 5 and of
course the iphone 12 pro max would look like now the pixel 5 the maximum recording resolution for
the front facing camera is 1080p where um with the iphone 12 pro max you can do 4k at 30 or
4k at 60 frames per second so big difference in resolution for the front facing cameras so
yeah this is how recording would look like with both devices while using the front-facing cameras
all right this is a quick 4k 30 frames per second video between
the iphone 12 pro max and the pixel 5 for this recording i'm using the main
lenses on the back of the two devices and walking fairly slow
it is a bit windy so you're gonna hear some wind and you're probably gonna hear the water to my
we're gonna stop here once again we'll pan right
and we'll just hold the phone steady here for a bit so yeah this is how 4k 30 frames per second
recording down the main lens on the pixel 5 and the iphone 12 pro max would look like
i also wanted to show you a quick recording done with the pixel 5 and iphone 12 pro max i'm
using the main lenses recording in 4k at 60 frames per second for the previous recording we've done
4k at 30 frames per second so i just wanted to show you how 4k at 60 would look between these
two devices so we're going to stop somewhere around here we'll pan up and left slowly
and then we'll head this way we are basically walking towards the sun and i'm gonna try
walking a bit faster so you can see how the image stabilization would look like um if you're walking
faster basically so yeah 4k at 60 frames per second with the main lenses on the back of the
pixel 5 and of course the iphone 12 pro max and since we are here anyways i might as well show you
how i'm recording done with the ultra wide lenses on the back of the pixel 5 and of course the
iphone 12 pro max would look like if you're recording in um 4k at 30 frames per second now
with the iphone 12 from x you can also do 4k at 60 with the ultra wide lens the pixel and 5 can only
do 4k at 30 frames per second if you are using the ultrawide lens so yeah this is how recording
all right this is a quick video recording between the iphone 12 pro max and the pixel
5 for this recording i'm using the main lenses on the back of the two devices are recording in
4k at 30 frames per second and then you can probably see for yourself it's night
time out but we do have some lights um around here so we're just gonna walk um
straight so you can see how the image stabilization does in low light basically
we're gonna stop somewhere around here we're gonna pan left slowly
and back right and i'm gonna walk straight for a bit
so yeah this whole recording between the iphone 12 pro max and the pixel 5 would look like if
you're recording the main lens recording in 4k at 30 frames per second we are moving on to another
quick video test between the pixel 5 and the iphone 12 pro max in low light as you can probably
see for yourself for this recording once again i am um using the main camera and recording in 4k
at 30 frames per second so we're just gonna stop somewhere wrong here we're gonna do a bit of a pan
and then back left and i guess
this way so yeah this is how recording between these two devices would look like
and for our last recording in low light between the pixel 5 and the iphone 12 pro max
i'm using the ultra wide lenses on their backs and recording once again in 4k at 30 frames per second
so i'm just going to stop somewhere around here i can definitely see way more on the screen
of the pixel 5. we'll pan right slowly keep going and then we'll walk this way
so yeah 4k at 30 frames per second the ultraviolet lenses on the back of these two devices so what
do you guys think about those video recordings i have to say i was quite impressed by the pixel 5
mostly considering that this is half the price of the iphone 12 pro max so for video recordings the
pixel 5 does do pretty good even though the iphone 12 pro max has the edge for those recordings next
we are moving on to some selfies and we are starting with some daytime selfies and for all
the daytime selfies that i took um it seems that the pixel 5 does better than the iphone 12. once
again the iphone 12 almost has like a filter over my face so for daytime selfies um the pixel does
better in my opinion but for nighttime selfies the iphone 12 pro max does seem to have the edge
so there you have it the pixel 5 and the iphone 12 pro max i have to say that the pixel 5 did do much
better than i was expecting mostly once again considering the price because we have to take
into consideration the prices of these devices when doing this comparison all right guys thanks
for watching don't forget to press that like button and i will see you guys in the next one
