All right welcome to the camera comparison, this is the iPhone 11 Pro versus the Pixel
4 both these cameras right now are shooting in 1080p, unfortunately the Pixel 4 can't
shoot in 4K for the front facing camera only the iPhone can so that's one of the drawbacks
of the Pixel 4.
If you wanted 4k crispiness for the front camera, then you got to go with the iPhone.
Now you guys let me know how this audio sounds right now.
Based on what I'm seeing both phones are doing a pretty good job in terms of stabilization
you guys let me know which one looks better which one sounds better and which one is more
stabilized.
So again same thing with the front facing camera.
I kept the Pixel 4 at Full HD, iPhone 11 Pro at 4K.
You guys let me know if you see a quality improvement!
Based on what I'm seeing it looks like it's a lot sharper just because we are playing
with a higher resolution.
Backgrounds on both phones seem to be pretty even in terms of exposure, maybe slightly
better on the iPhone but it's hard to tell since I'm just looking at both of these screens.
And last up is the 1080p stabilization test we're gonna do a little bit of running.
Chasing my daughter since she's on a bike, you guys let me know which one looks the smoothest
probably gonna have an asthma attack!
You gotta do it for tubes!
Now this is slow motion and the iPhone can do up to 240 frames per second at 1080p whereas
the Pixel 4 is limited to 120 frames per second at 1080p both phones do a great job.
I like the color quality on both of these devices.
I think they both look great in fact the colors look better on slow motion with the Pixel
4 than it does with the regular video.
Now if you want the best slow motion out of these two you're gonna have to go with the
iPhone just because it can slow it down a lot more since it uses 240 frames per second.
So this is 1080p video on both phones using the rear camera, stabilization is pretty good
on both devices but my god the difference in colors are night and day.
The Pixel 4 just looks flat, washed out and the detail comparison just looks better on
the iPhone 11 Pro.
Now we're going again this time in 4k with both phones.
The iPhone can do 60 frames per second, but the pixel can't.
I left them both on 30 fps.
Out of the results it's a lot clearer now on the Pixel 4 but it just doesn't look nearly
as good as the iPhone.
Same idea 4k video but at nighttime, both phones are doing a pretty good job, stabilization
is great.
The Pixel 4 is brighter but it's introducing a lot more noise into the video to compensate.
It's also making the sky look a little bit too blue considering it's not that blue at
this time of night.
I will say though the iPhone 11 pro is doing a better job of picking up the details.
If you look at the sign that says Petman you can read it a lot more clearly on the iPhone
than you can on the Pixel 4.
Now this is your first daytime shot I wanted to test dynamic range and I have to say the
Pixel 4 definitely looks better.
The iPhone looks more vibrant and contrasty but the Pixel 4 does a better job with white
balance and exposing the faces on the subjects.
Both photos are kind of blown out in the background but overall I'm gonna give the slight advantage
to the Pixel 4.
Now this is another photo we're indoors, we're taking a picture of the background being blown
out because of the sun I wanted to see how these cameras would handle it.
This is a beautiful cockerel and I have to say they both did a good job, but again, I'm
gonna give the slight advantage to the Pixel 4.
I think it did a slightly better job with the exposure!
You can tell with the reflection on the table and with the trees in the background.
This shows you the difference in terms of color science again The Pixel 4 leaning towards
those vibrant yellows and contrasty colors where the iPhone just tends to look a lot
more natural.
I am finding the iPhone to look a little bit sharper not by much but it is noticeable in
this picture.
So this is the same photo but this time we're using the 2x telephoto lens and I wanted to
see the shift and color science between both of these lenses.
I am finding it to be more consistent with the iPhone like when you switch from the main
lens to the telephoto lens the colors look very equal, whereas on the Pixel, it's still
pushing towards the yellows, but it's not as vibrant and contrasty as it is with the
main sensor.
So here's another photo, color science is different again.
Pixel 4 contrasty, more yellows, more vibrant, looks better straight out of the camera.
iPhone 11 Pro a lot more natural so this is very subjective but there is definitely more
dynamic range with the Pixel 4, like look at the side of the shed.
It's not crushing the shadows as much you can actually see the leaves beside the shed
compared to the iPhone where it's just too dark to make out those details.
So again, same photo, but this time we're using the 2x telephoto lens zoomed all the
way in same color science.
Pixel 4 doing a much better job If you look at the brick of the house behind the shed
you can make out the individual bricks whereas on the iPhone the highlights have been completely
blown out.
It's funny though because the exposure on both of these photos are pretty similar but
you're just getting a lot more dynamic range with the Pixel 4.
So the same concept as before if you look beside the shed on the left hand side, you
can actually make out the bush whereas on the iPhone 11 Pro you can’t just because
the shadows are a bit too dark.
This is the exact same photo but this time with the ultra wide lens on the iPhone 11
Pro.
Just looks very different.
Gives you a different feel, different type of emotions.
Something that the Pixel 4 can't do because they decided to omit an ultra wide lens.
In this photo, we're facing the sun and this is a good way to test out dynamic range and
I'm finding it to be pretty good on both of these phones, but again the slight edge for
the Pixel 4 just look at the door.
You can make out those details much better even though it does look like there's a bit
more noise.
The iPhone looks a lot more natural, like this looks like a typical photo at this time
of day, but the Pixel 4 kind of looks cool kind of looks like a nice vintage shot.
Now it's time to test portrait mode using the rear cameras the Pixel 4 definitely blurs
the background a lot more than the iPhone but you can change the blur amount using the
app on the iPhone.
So you can fine-tune it to whatever blur you like in the background.
I do like the colors they’re better on the iPhone this time.
I think they look a lot more vibrant they're a little bit more punchy and find them to
be a bit too flat on the Pixel 4, but when you zoom in to check out which one did a better
job around the edges of the subject.
On The Pixel 4 look at the hair, on the bottom of the hair for both of these phones.
It didn't do a good job but when you look between the hair and the jacket the iPhone
completely missed the background and left it in the foreground whereas the Pixel 4 completely
blurred it out.
Same with her pom-pom on the top of her hat.
The edges on the iPhone 11 Pro are just way too soft.
The Pixel 4 just did a much better job of picking out the individual tussles on her
pom-pom to make it look more realistic.
So this is a nighttime shot we're using a subject which happens to be myself, the pixel
has night sight, the iPhone 11 Pro has its own night photography baked into the camera
app.
They both did a pretty good job.
The iPhone 11 Pro did a better job with the color science like that's actually how my
jeans looked rather than the Pixel 4 they're a little bit too blue but the Pixel 4 did
a much better job with the rollout.
Like if you look at my shirt, look at my face, the highlights are just not rolling off properly
on the iPhone 11 Pro, they're kind of blown out a little bit too much.
Whereas on the Pixel 4, it did a much better job of exposing them.
This is a furnace room.
It is completely dark and the results kind of surprised me 11 Pro did a better job.
It's cleaner, there's less noise you can see stuff in the background.
I find the Pixel to do a good job but it's pushing more towards the blues.
I just find there to be a bit too much noise.
So this nighttime shot is kind of tough because they both look really equal except for the
color science.
It just depends on the mood you're in.
Do you want the cooler tones like you have on the iPhone, that looks a lot more representative
at that time of night or do you want more of a warmer tone that makes the picture a
little bit more inviting I will say this though the Pixel 4 did a slightly better job if you
look at the open sign and the other two lights beside it.
It's slightly better exposed with the 11 Pro but the differences are so minor.
Flipping the camera to the front facing shooter Pixel 4 just has the advantage because it
has night sight whereas the 11 Pro does not have any sort of night mode for the front
facing camera.
As you can see here, it's just brighter.
It looks better and you can see everything in the background.
In this nighttime photo, I want to test out exposure both of these phones are doing a
pretty good job.
Pixel is definitely a little bit brighter, so if you look at the building on the left-hand
side, you're gonna see a bit more noise, but at least you can make out the details of the
balconies on that building.
Color science, same idea Pixel 4 is boosting the contrast in the grass You are getting
a bit too much blue around the lights whereas the iPhone looks a bit more realistic.
Flipping it back to the front facing shooter and this is a tough one.
I think they both do a really good job.
I think the Pixel 4 did a better job with highlight exposure but the iPhone just looks
a little bit more vibrant.
This is a tough one.
I think this one is purely subjective.
And last up front facing camera again portrait mode, both did a great job.
This time the iPhone is a little bit more punchier.
They both look good.
I think I look a little bit older with the Pixel for as it tends to be a bit more aggressive
but again the Pixel 4 is doing a better job with blurring the background like if you look
at the sides of my head.
It's getting the hair better compared to the iPhone 11 Pro.
This was a very interesting camera comparison because the difference between both phones
for regular stills, we're very small.
Yes, the Pixel 4 has more dynamic range and mostly takes better pictures, but the gap
is so small.
It's not like previous years where the Pixel was just completely destroying the competition.
Nighttime photography, these both are pretty much tied unless you're talking about front
facing camera and the pixel does a better job just because it has night sight on it.
Video iPhone just destroys the Pixel in terms of video quality except for the front-facing
cam pretty even but overall the video is better on the iPhone.
Now, I still prefer the iPhone overall just because it has the ultra wide lens, it has
more features to play with giving you more options to use as tools when you're using
the phone as a camera.
The Pixel 4 is great, but I think they missed out big this year by not including the third
lens and the extra features that a lot of people want.
Anyways that wraps up this camera comparison.
