Hey Guys its Max, Today we’re going to compare these flagship phones in terms of Photo quality
and crown one of them as the all-around king. During these test we found strengths in each
one of these phones, some were honestly quite shocking and also some glaring weaknesses
and consistent disappointments in certain areas, so stick around and let’s take a
look at a wide variety of shots and then I’ll share a summary at the end with some surprising
findings and concerns.
All these phones do a fantastic job overall, the Note 10 Plus has the most features built-in
with great edge detection but the worst overall image quality. The iPhone is very natural
and balanced with the best overall quality but edge detection is still poor. The shots
with Deep Fusion looks shockingly good, and the overall file sizes are half of the others
saving space and mobile data.
The best thing about the Pixel 4 is its 16MP telephoto lens, which most of its wins were
shot with, for some dumb reason Google doesn’t use it for Portrait shots making those lack
detail, and they’re also limited to 1.5X. I would prefer an ultrawide since you can
also crop in but not always back up enough or get perspectives like these.
Surprisingly Google is still using the same 2016 sensor that’s in the Pixel 3 and 3a,
maybe thats why shadow noise is an issue. Photos have gotten better but that’s all
software so I really hope the Pixel 3 and 3a get updated to achieve the same final quality.
We really were expecting a bit more from the Pixel 4, and if you agree, let us know down
in the comments below. We think the iPhone 11 is the overall Photo king, and if you want

Overall, each of the phones take great photos, with the iPhone being very natural, balanced
and detailed thanks to Deep Fusion, and the Note having a bit more contrast, saturated
colors and excellent portrait blur edging.
Most of the points the Pixel 4 received were for the new telephoto lens, because of its
higher 16MP sensor, but it was shocking to find that they're still using the Wide lens
with a 1.5x crop for portrait photos instead of the telephoto.
We also discovered that the Wide lens
is using the same
exact sensor as the Pixel 3, so quality should be very similar, apart from better color accuracy
and contrast due to updated software.
