**Super Surf TV: Smartphone Camera Comparison**

In this article, we'll delve into a comprehensive comparison between the Google Pixel 2 XL and Apple iPhone 10 Plus cameras. We'll explore each camera's strengths and weaknesses, including their performance in portrait mode, low-light conditions, and front-facing camera functionality.

**Portrait Mode**

To begin with, let's take a look at the portrait mode on both devices. This feature uses artificial intelligence to blur the background, creating a professional-looking effect. However, there are some key differences between the two cameras. On the iPhone 10 Plus, you need to move closer to your subject to get the best results, as it doesn't have a telephoto lens. In contrast, the Google Pixel 2 XL can produce similar results with less movement.

"I actually have to move a little bit closer with the pixel and that is because it doesn't have a telephoto lens," said Safwan of Super Surf TV. "Now the colors and dynamic range of better here on the pixel you can see that we've lost a lot of detail on the iPhone in the background but the iPhone is doing a much better job in terms of those edges."

The Google Pixel 2 XL also struggles to maintain detailed images, particularly around its subject's features. For instance, the camera loses a lot of detail on the subject's ears. In contrast, the iPhone 10 Plus seems to retain more details, even if it doesn't quite match the pixel's edge detection.

**Low-Light Conditions**

Moving on to low-light conditions, both cameras demonstrate impressive performance. However, there are some subtle differences between them. The Google Pixel 2 XL tends to outshine its subject in bright, sunny environments, while the iPhone 10 Plus is better at capturing details and shadows.

"Lola outdoors I think both are doing a really good job but the pixel is brighter you can see much more of that building in the background and the pixel on the iPhone this has kind of disappeared away," said Safwan. "Another low-light shots and once again I do think the pixel is doing better it's maintained the colors much more compared to the iPhone."

In these conditions, the Google Pixel 2 XL excels with its ability to capture vibrant colors and maintain detail. In contrast, the iPhone 10 Plus struggles slightly in terms of brightness and dynamic range.

**Front-Facing Camera**

Now, let's turn our attention to the front-facing camera on both devices. The Google Pixel 2 XL has a wider-angle lens, which makes it better suited for selfie photography. Its portrait mode also produces excellent results, with sharper edges and better depth separation.

"For me personally the pixel to excel has the best selfie camera out there," said Safwan. "It was wider with much better dynamic range compared to the iPhone and with the portrait mode it did a better job for those edges as well."

However, the Apple iPhone 10 Plus has introduced a new feature – front-facing camera – which could potentially improve its selfie game in the future.

**Video Recording**

When it comes to video recording, both cameras demonstrate impressive performance. The Google Pixel 2 XL features magic stabilization, a combination of optical and electronic image stabilization that works well to reduce shaky footage. In contrast, the iPhone 10 Plus has 4K at 60 frames per second and slow-motion capabilities.

"For video from the rear facing camera I think quality wise both were really good the pixel has some sort of magic stabilization," said Safwan. "The combination of optical as well as electronic image stabilization does work really well on the pixel but with the iPhone you have 4k at 60 frames a second this is something that I couldn't really demonstrate in this video."

However, the iPhone 10 Plus's slow-motion capabilities are still slightly better than those of the Google Pixel 2 XL.

**Portrait Mode from Rear-Facing Cameras**

The Google Pixel 2 XL's portrait mode from rear-facing cameras also excels, with better dynamic range and more pronounced bokeh effect. However, the Apple iPhone 10 Plus has a studio lighting feature that allows for post-processing adjustments to achieve similar results.

"Now when it came to portrait mode from the rear-facing cameras the pixel 2xl did have better dynamic range overall but the iPhone 10 did a better job of blurring the background because of the new cameras it seems to better sense that the iPhone also has a studio lighting feature which is gonna let you toggle between some different lighting modes after the fact," said Safwan.

**Audio**

Finally, when it comes to audio quality, both devices record in mono, but there are slight differences. The Google Pixel 2 XL tends to be louder, but its audio sounds slightly tinny.

"Now when it came to audio both of these still recording mono the pixel was louder but it did sound a little bit tinny to my ears I'll let you go back and have a listen and see what you think for yourselves," said Safwan. "Definitely drop me a comment below and let me know if you'd like to see more content like this."

In conclusion, both the Google Pixel 2 XL and Apple iPhone 10 Plus cameras offer impressive performance in various conditions. However, each camera has its strengths and weaknesses, making it essential to consider specific needs when choosing between these two options.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up YouTube safe Iran super safe TV and welcome to another supercell camera comparison this time between the iPhone 10 and the Google pixel to excel so as always we'll be doing lots of tests front facing camera rear facing camera images as well as video do also look out for the audio icon the call of the screen and that will indicate you which device the audio is coming from as well what are that just rolls off the tongue now anyway so we're currently using the front-facing cameras on both devices we're just gonna be taking a bit of a walk right now to see what stabilization is like and let's change that into a run got the Sun right there let me know what we think of the dynamic range extreme 2 for 360 as well now testing up the rear facing camera is we're forming up four key 30 frames a second we do have two times optical zoom on the iPhone so we can jump to that whenever needed let's take a walk see what stabilization is like on both devices now we just taking a look at the autofocus on the iPhone 10 doing very well and now the same mode to focus tests on the pixel to excel let me know we think that was a video now before we move on to images looking at what we're working with here the iPhone has a seven megapixel front-facing camera with an F 2.2 aperture the pixel to excel has an 8 megapixel front-facing camera with an F 2.4 aperture and for the rear cameras we have a single camera on the pixel 12.2 megapixels with an F 1.8 aperture optical as well as electronic image stabilization the iPhone has a dual camera setup both 12 megapixels both optically stabilized one wide-angle with an F 1.8 aperture and one telephoto with an F 2.4 aperture which is gonna give you 2 times optical zoom now all images in this video have been taken on automatic and this is to keep things as fair as possible now starting off with some selfies the pixel is wider and that dynamic range is just magic I don't know what Google of doing but the dynamic range from the front-facing camera is absolutely insane with the iPhone the highlights have been blown out in the background this is something that I've consistently noticed on many iPhones they do tend to favor the face of role in terms of exposure but this can result in blowing out highlights in the background as well as on my forehead in this situation now a few people come claim that this is because I wear sunglasses so in this shot I haven't worn any sunglasses and once again the pixel does have much better dynamic range now in this shot the iPhones actually not doing too bad for dynamic range it has maintained those highlights in the background a little bit but when comparing this is the pixel the pixel is just doing so much better we've still got some blue in the sky and the skin tones are so much more accurate compared to that of the iPhone now a new feature that both devices have is portrait mode from the front-facing cameras both doing ok here but I do prefer the pixel overall there are some little defects on the pixel on the edges but the iPhone has faded away my hair a lot of the edges as well as my sunglasses now another shot using the portrait mode on the selfie camera the iPhone is actually doing much better in terms of dynamic range compared to what it was doing previously but it has faded away a lot of my face here looks very soft the edges of my sunglasses my beard as well as my hair have been faded away whereas the pixel is doing an absolutely awesome job around the edges and has maintained those edges much better compared to the iPhone yes it's not perfect but the portrait selfies that come out of the pixel are absolutely epic and I think most people will agree now moving on to some selfies in low-light here the pixel is brighter but it's not as sharp and it's also got this green yellow tint which I don't really like now using the front-facing flash in this low-light scenario and here I think the pixel is doing better the colors are better we've got less noise and it looks like a sharper image overall the iPhone is doing much better than it was without the flash but it is definitely quite noisy now an outdoor macro shots both doing great here we've got lots of detail slight differences in color but both great overall and outdoor wide shots and in terms of dynamic range both of these are doing absolutely great we've got a decent amount of detail in the highlights as well as in the shadows now an advantage that you have on the iPhone is the two times optical zoom so we can zoom in and still maintain a lot of that detail we've only got a digital zoom on the pixel now another general shot just to show some color differences both actually doing really good but we've got a slightly more vibrant colors on the pixel compared to the iPhone and now to really test out the dynamic range because these two are so good at dynamic it's hard to pick a winner once again both are doing really really good slightly more vibrant colors on the pixel but the iPhone is pulling out more details in the shadows compared to the pixel now trying out another shot with very tricky dynamic range both once again doing absolutely great here but the iPhone again is pulling out more details in the shadows so for dynamic range I think I would have to give the slight edge to the iPhone of raw now let's move on to some shots using the portrait mode where it's gonna blur the background now first up to match these images you actually have to move a little bit closer with the pixel and that is because it doesn't have a telephoto lens now the colors and dynamic range of better here on the pixel you can see that we've lost a lot of detail on the iPhone in the background but the iPhone is doing a much better job in terms of those edges you can see that my ears have kind of faded away on the pixel I do think this is because of the do camera setup on the iPhone it's better sensing depth compared to that on the pixel another portrait image once again dynamic range better on the pixel but edges better on the iPhone now final image in portrait mode this is under direct sunlight both actually doing really good here in terms of dynamic range the colors actually seem a little bit more vibrant here on the iPhone this time I think this is gonna come down to personal preference both of these are struggling a little bit on my ear in this situation but I do think the iPhone is doing a little bit better here now let's move on to low-light shots so this is Lola outdoors I think both are doing a really good job but the pixel is brighter you can see much more of that building in the background and the pixel on the iPhone this has kind of disappeared away another low-light shots and once again I do think the pixel is doing better it's maintained the colors much more compared to the iPhone and also that detail is there a final shot in low-light and I do think both are doing very well here slightly more punchy colors on the pixel compared to the iPhone but quite similar in terms of sharpness of detail so there we have it guys these super soft style camera comparison between the iPhone 10 and the Google pixel to excel both performing very very well overall now when it came to front-facing camera images for me personally the pixel to excel has the best selfie camera out there it was wider with much better dynamic range compared to the iPhone and with the portrait mode it did a better for those edges as well now this is quite a new feature on the iPhone 4 the front-facing camera so hopefully it will improve with some software updates now when it came to front-facing camera video I once again do think that the pixel to excel was better overall you need to have better dynamic range overall on the pixel whereas once again the iPhone tends to blow out those highlights now when it came to outdoor images I would say that the iPhone has the edge it has the two times optical zoom advantage so you can't get in closer to your subjects and although dynamic range was very very close it looks like the iPhone just does seem to pull out the details and the shadows a little bit better compared to the pixel now for video from the rear facing camera I think quality wise both were really good the pixel has some sort of magic stabilization the combination of optical as well as electronic image stabilization does work really well on the pixel but with the iPhone you have 4k at 60 frames a second this is something that I couldn't really demonstrate in this video and you also have slow motion at 1080p on the iPhone compared to 720p on the pixel 2xl now I had left both on autofocus and it seems that the pixel maybe had focused in better on the slow motion test but because of the resolution generally overall I do think that the iPhone performs better in slow motion now for the portrait mode from the rear-facing cameras the pixel 2xl did have better dynamic range overall but the iPhone 10 did a better job of blurring the background because of the new cameras it seems to better sense that the iPhone also has a studio lighting feature which is gonna let you toggle between some different lighting modes after the fact now when it came to low lights I would have to give the overall went to the pixel to excel images were brighter overall with less noise and better colors now when it came to audio both of these still recording mono the pixel was louder but it did sound a little bit tinny to my ears I'll let you go back and have a listen and see what you think for yourselves once again I do think both cameras are absolutely great and some of the best smartphone cameras out there that's what I think anyway what do you think definitely drop me a comment below and let me know if you'd
