The SuperSaf Style Camera Comparison: Google Pixel 6 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro Max

Both the Google Pixel 6 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max have excellent cameras, but there are some differences that set them apart. In this comparison, we'll take a closer look at the features and performance of each device's camera.

When it comes to dynamic range, both devices deliver impressive results. The Pixel is doing well in this department, but the iPhone takes the edge when it comes to overall better dynamic range, thanks to Dolby vision HDR. This means that the iPhone can capture a wider range of tonal values and colors, resulting in more natural-looking images.

However, when it comes to zooming in on subjects, the Pixel has an advantage. The device offers a 4x optical zoom, while the iPhone only goes up to 3x. This is especially noticeable when you're extending the zoom, as the Pixel's 4x zoom provides a more stable image. But, when you're using the ultra-wide camera on both devices, the iPhone takes the lead with its better results.

The front-facing camera on both devices is also put to the test in this comparison. The Pixel does well in low-light conditions, but the iPhone edges out the competition with its superior audio recording capabilities. Both devices can capture high-quality 4K video at 60 frames per second, but the iPhone's ability to record from all three cameras simultaneously gives it an edge.

When it comes to stabilization, both devices deliver impressive results. The Pixel takes a slight lead in this department, with better performance on shaky footage. However, the iPhone is still able to capture smooth and stable video, especially when using its advanced Cinematic mode feature. This feature allows for greater control over the camera settings, resulting in more creative and professional-looking footage.

One area where the Pixel excels is in focus. The device's improved autofocus system provides sharper images with better subject separation, making it ideal for portrait mode shots. However, this comes at the cost of not having a wider ultra-wide camera, which the iPhone offers.

The selfie camera on both devices is also worth noting. While the Pixel has an extended zoom feature that works well, the iPhone's ability to capture macro shots from its ultra-wide camera makes it a stronger contender in this department. However, personal preference plays a significant role when it comes to camera features, and some may prefer the process of using the Pixel's extended zoom.

In conclusion, both devices have excellent cameras, but with different strengths and weaknesses. The Pixel excels in terms of images, especially when it comes to dynamic range and skin tones. However, the iPhone takes the edge in terms of video capabilities, thanks to its advanced features like Cinematic mode and better audio recording. Stabilization is also a closely contested area, but the Pixel's performance takes the lead.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- What's up, guys?SuperSaf here, and it's timefor the Google Pixel 6 Proversus the iPhone 13 ProMax camera comparison,SuperSaf style.So I've shot hundreds of images and videoswith both of these over the past week.And we're going to belooking at all aspects.So there will be sometimestamps down belowif there's a particular sectionthat you're interested in,but you might as well watch all of it,and get a good idea ofhow good these cameras areand how they compare.Let's start off with imagesfrom the primary cameras.I got to say, both ofthese take excellent photosin good light, and youreally can't go wrongwith either of these.The iPhone now hasdifferent picture profiles.So here's an image taken on both devices.And to be honest, I thinkboth are doing very similar,and both are doing great.With the iPhone, you can choosehigh contrast for example,and this just gives you alot more contrast. However,I'm generally not a fan ofthis because this does tend tocrush the shadows. Andthen you've got vibrance.For example, this gives youmore of a vibrant image.Once again,these are nice to have,and you can tweak these if you want.But personally speaking,I think the iPhone does agreat job just as standard.So I have kept it standardthroughout this video.Now you may know that Googlespends a lot of time withsoftware processing of the images.And one thing that I noticedconsistently is that the Pixelhas excellent dynamic range.Take a look at this example,the shadow areas are muchbrighter on the Pixel compared tothe iPhone.The iPhone does a greatjob with smart HDR,but the Pixel is just absolutely great.When it comes to dynamic range.Take a look at this example,there's a lot of light comingin from the background and thePixel has done an excellentjob of maintaining the shadowdetails. Now, in this example,both are doing really good,but again, the Pixelbrighter in the shadow areas,and here as well,the shadow areas brighter onthe Pixel without overexposingtoo much of the highlights.Now there is a little bit of a catch.If there is a lightsource in your image ofthe Pixel,you do get a lot of lensflaring. Look at this.I mean,it's pretty much ruined theshot for me because you've gotall of this purple pink thinggoing on towards the top lefthand side of the image.And this is also the case in low light.And once again,you can see a lot of lens flooring.The iPhone also has some lens flaring,but it's nowhere near the amountthat you get on the Pixel.So this is something thatI'm definitely not a fan of.Now, the Pixel does give you anoverall brighter imageand you can also see this inthis example here. However,the iPhone is sharper,especially if you looktowards the text area.Now this seems to be becauseconsistently the Pixel did takelonger for the night modeshock compared to the iPhone.Now, what this results in is of course,a brighter image with the longer exposure,but also introduces more shakeon the camera when you arehandheld.Whereas with the shorterexposure on the iPhone,you're not gettingsomething that's as bright,but it is shopper anotherlow light example here.And once again, we dosee the similarities,the Pixel brighter overall.And I think this is also becauseApple liked to give you anight mode shop, whichactually looks like nighttime.So they don't want to brightenit up too much. However,they do give you the option toincrease the exposure time upto 10 seconds when youare had held longer,if you are on a tripod.So here is an image taken withdefault settings, the Pixel,once again, brighter andoverall better image.In my opinion, however, with the iPhone,if we do use the maximum exposure time,then you can see that we doget a brightest shot and we arenow getting a lot more detailedin areas such as the rooftiles. And here is an indoorlow light shots on here.For some reason,the iPhone just seems tobe doing a lot better.The Pixel hasn't actuallyexposed for that long.So I don't know what happenedhere, but for low light,I would call it a bit of a draw.- Hey- Okay, look,I got this, I got this.That's the site staff doinghis thing reminding you guys tosubscribe. If you haven't already,I don't post too often in here.So you're not going to getbombarded with lots of videos,but if you haven'talready then do subscribe,hit that bell icon.You won't miss future coverage like this.And also smash that like button,which will help out with theYouTube algorithm and recommendthis video to more people.Let's not move on tothe ultra wide camera.Now, the first thing younotice right away is that theiPhone has a wider ultra-wide camera.The Pixel is not as wide asthe iPhone or lots of the othercompetition. So in this example,you can see a lot more of this building,which is really what I wantwith an ultra wide camera,to be honest.However, when it does come tothe processing of the image,we do see similarities like we didfrom the primary camera,especially for dynamic range.You can see that the Pixelconsistently does give you abetter dynamic range onmore details in the shadows.You still get that lens flare issue.So it's not as bad as the primary camera,but you can notice thatlens flare issue here on theultra-wide camera aswell. But yeah, again,dynamic range is absolutelyexcellent on the Pixel.Look at the shadow areas on the Pixel.It's done an excellent job,and this is somethingthat I really do like,but I do like the widerangle of view on the iPhone.Now the iPhone also hasanother trick up its sleeveand that is a macro mode.So it uses the ultra-wide camerato refocus close up to yoursubjects. So you can getin right up close on,get some really interesting shots,which you can't do on the Pixel.Macro mode is something that Ireally enjoy on the iPhoneon other smartphone cameras.But unfortunately, this is somethingthat's just not here onthe Pixel. I wish it was.Now in low light,the ultra-wide camera. Again,we do get a lot of lens flaring.If there is a light sourcein your shots on the Pixel,there's no way as muchlens flaring on the iPhone,but the Pixel is just brighter. Overall.However, in this shot, it'svery, very noisy on the Pixel.The iPhone, a very dosha overall.Now you can extend that,but I don't think it makesthat much of a difference.I'd seen low light,neither of these have anexcellent ultra-wide camera.I've seen better on other devices.Right. Now, let's talk about zoom.So we have three timesoptical zoom on the iPhone.We have four timesoptical zoom on the Pixel.So when we do go to thenative optical zoom,you can see that we can havegetting closer with the Pixelcompared to the iPhone.Now, if you go in 10 times,you'll start seeing theadvantage of having that extendedzoom on the Pixel. Detailsare a lot sharper on,we've got an overallbetter image on the Pixel.The iPhone maxes out at 15 times, zoom on.Once again,we can see that the Pixel isdoing better and the Pixel cango all the way up to 20times zoom. So this sign,which we really couldn'tread at one times,we can now pretty clearly see at 20 times.So you do get better zoomin good light on the Pixel.However, in low light,I did prefer the iPhone.Now, remember when you arezoomed in any little shake isamplified. So if it's three times,it's going to be threetimes. If it's four times,all of those shakes are goingto be multiplied four timesand because of the extendedtime that the Google takesin night mode when taking low light shots,it's just not as sharp as whatwe've got here on the iPhone.Also the zoom camera on thePixel is used literally just forthat. Zoom. It doesn'thave any other application.The iPhone, however does.And that's when it comes to portrait mode.So both devices do takeportraits at one times using theprimary camera andoverall, they do a really,really good job.Here you can see that we'vegot an excellent portraiton both devices. However,I do think that the iPhonehas better edge detection.If you look towards thearea underneath my arm,the Pixel has completely missed this out.Whereas the iPhone hasactually done much better.Now this does seem to be thanksto the fact that the iPhonehas a dedicated LIDAR scanner,which measures depth information.Now we can take portraits atthree times using the opticalzoom camera on the iPhone andthe Pixel lets you do it attwo times.But remember the Pixel doesnot have a two times zoomcamera.So what it's doing is it'scropping in it to the primarycamera for this two times effect.Although I do like thecolors on the Pixel better,the iPhone does tend to gofor more of an orange tone.The iPhone is doing waybetter in terms of edges,look at the Pixel.It has missed out a lotof areas near my hair,the areas around my armand in the background.Whereas the iPhone,thanks to that lighterscanner is doing pretty much aperfect job in terms of the edges.Also because the Pixelisn't using a dedicated zoomcamera for this two timesportrait. If it was at fourtimes, it would be pretty close.So I understand why they've not done this,but the two times portrait iscropping in on the image isjust notas sharp.Now it might appear as sharpat first glance because thereis a lot of post-processinghappening on softwaresharpening. But if we do zoom in,you can see that the iPhone isactually giving you a cleaneron a natively sharper imagecompared to the artificiallysharper look on the Pixel.Here's another example,pink both are doing prettygood overall. However,once again,the Pixel is struggling incertain areas of background,whereas the iPhone,thanks to that LIDARscanner is doing better.And when we do go for thetwo times versus three timesportrait mode,then the Pixel is reallystruggling here because of thattextured background.There's a lot of areasthat have been missed out.I do preferthe colors on the Pixel.I get to say the skin tones aremore accurate compared tothe more orange look on theiPhone. However, once again,the Pixel has the software sharpening,which in my opinion is quiteobvious compared it to theiPhone, which is givingyou a much cleaner image.So for portraits, I do prefer the iPhone.Right. Now.Let's take a look at some selfies.I got to say both of thesetake excellent selfies,but there's a few thingsthat I noticed right away.The Pixel I would say doesgive you more accurate skintones.Google's done a lot of worklooking at colored people likemyself and looking at skin tones.The iPhone does go towardsmore of an orange look.The Pixel also has this very overshopand look, I quite like it,but for some people it mighthighlight the imperfections intheir faces a bit too much,but one area where I doreally like the Pixelis when it comes tocolors and dynamic range.So it has excellent dynamic range here,but at the same time,it's still maintained thedetails of my beard for example.The iPhone,my beard looks a lot moregreat than it actually is.Granted.I have a lot of grease on my beard, okay.But thePixel is doing a better job of accuratelyrepresenting what you can actually see,compared to the iPhone,which is really boosting upthose shadows in areas whereit really doesn't need to be that much.Now what's really good is thatboth cameras do have a widerfield ofview from the front facing camera.And this is great.If you want to take some groupselfies or something likethat, the Pixel is slightly wider.Now both of these do anexcellent job when it comes toportraits from the frontfacing camera. I mean,look at the edges on both ofthese. Absolutely excellent.Love them both. But with the Pixel,you can take portrait shotsfrom the wider field of view aswell, which you can't do onthe iPhone. With the iPhone,you don't have the optionfor the wider selfie when youare in portrait mode. Low light selfies.This is using night mode.These are doing great to behonest the iPhone does havea lot of processing.Especially if you look towardsmy jacket, there's thissort of texture going on,which I'm not a fan of.So I do prefer the Pixelslightly here on both devices dohave a front facing flash.I think this is subjective.The iPhone is giving youmore of a balanced shot.Whereas the Pixel doeslook like, you know,there's actually a biglight flashing on my face.Right. Now.Let's move on to video.So traditionally Pixel deviceshave been excellent forimages, but video has very much been anafterthought and it's reallynot been much competition. However,I'm pleased to say that Googlehas really improved video onthe Pixel this year.We've got very good qualityvideo with excellent dynamicrange,which really does go head tohead with the iPhone in manysituations.However, as you guys probably know,when it comes to video on a smartphone,the iPhone is very difficult to beat.Especially when itcomes to dynamic grades.The iPhone has 4K HDR, Dolby vision.And when you do go intovery tricky situations,this is where the iPhonereally stands out.Take a look at this example,we've got a lot of lightcoming in from the background,but the iPhone has still verywell exposed the foreground aswell as the background. Whenit comes to stabilization,you can take a look atthis example here. Overall.I think the iPhone doeshave more stable video,and that does seemthanks to the sensor shift optical imagestabilization that the iPhone has.This is actually where thesensor of moves rather than thelens on it works really, really well.The Pixel does have an activestabilization mode for extrememotion,but this switches you down to1080P and doesn't tell you,which is something that I findsuper annoying from a userinterface point of view.If you're going to switch medown to 1080P, tell me thatyou're switching me down to1080P and although it doesproduce more stable video,the quality is not good whatsoever.Take a look at this example,the Pixel really drops inquality for that stabilization.And in my opinion,if the quality is going todrop that much than I wouldrather just not use it.Also for low light video,the iPhone just givesyou a much cleaner image.You can see that we've got less noise,and especially when we're movingon the Pixel things wobblequite a bit, also indoors in low light.The iPhone just gives youmuch more of a cleaner image.Whereas there's a lotof noise on the Pixel.For the ultra wide camera.We also see similar results.Although the Pixel is doing good,the iPhone is just betteroverall, in my opinion,when it comes to dynamicrange and also thatwider angle of view, which I appreciatefor zoom because we have three timesversus four times.Remember when I mentioned thatwhen you are extending thezoom, you are multiplying all ofthose little shakes.The iPhone just gives you morestable video at three times,compared to four times on the Pixel.Now both devices can alsoshoot 4K up to 60 frames asecond. However, there'sa catch on the iPhone.You can do 4K 60 across allof the cameras. With thePixel, you've only got 4K60 from the primary camera.Slow motion is also pretty good on bothdevices. However,once again, thatconsistency on the iPhone,you can shoot slow motionfrom the ultra-wide primary,as well as the telephoto cameraand video from the frontfacing camera. Now,this was pretty interestingbecause the Pixelactually heldup really well here. And for 4K video,I'm going to have to callit a draw. It was very,very good on both devices. However,I would say you still getslightly better dynamic range onthe iPhone. Thanks to Dolby vision HDR.For stabilization, Iwould have to give theedge to the Pixel.Take a look at this examplewhen things were moving very,very much, especially if youlook towards the background.The Pixel overall givingyou more stable footage.But once again,you don't get consistency onthe Pixel and you can't do 4K60 frames a second fromthe front facing camera.Whereas you can honor the iPhone.The iPhone also has cinematic video.Now this artificially plus thebackground and it can producesome pretty good results,although it's not perfect.This is something that you donot have on the Google PixelNow for also a focus. Iactually think both were really,really good. They were veryfast and also in low light,I think both did an excellent overall job.For audio, get some headphoneson and have a listen.We've got a quick audio testbetween the Google Pixel 6Pro on the iPhone 13 Pro Maxrecording from the front facingcameras of both devices.Let me know which oneyou think sounds better.There is a lot of backgroundnoise going on as well,and hopefully it's not too windy.As soon as I say thatthe wind comes obviously.Now I had to listen back afew times and although I thinkboth are very good overall,I would give the edge to the iPhone.I just think the soundwas a bit more fuller,but definitely let meknow what you guys think.And that is the SuperSaf style cameracomparison between theGoogle Pixel 6 Pro andthe iPhone 13 Pro Max.I just want to say that bothof these have excellent overallcameras.Cameras are getting so goodthese days on smartphones.A lot of it does come downto personal preference.I would say that the Pixel for images,you do getbetter dynamic range.I think overall it does a betterjob in terms of skin tones.You also get the extended zoom four times,which works better whenyou do extend it further.On the selfie camera as well.Although it does giveyou that process. Look,it is something that I personally like.You may not.On the iPhone,you get better overall video.And I still think the iPhone is theking of smartphone video.You get better portrait mode shots.Thanks to that LIDAR scanner,and you get a wider ultra wide camera.And that's something that Ithink is important when you dohave an ultra wide camera,as well as the ability toshoot macro shots from theultra-wide camera issomething that you don't have on thePixel. That's what I think anyway.What do you guys think?Do drop me a commentbelow and let meknow your thoughts.If you want to see lots ofimages posted from lots ofdifferent devices,then go ahead and giveme a follow on Instagram.And that's @SuperSaf. Now in this video,we only looked at thedifferences in the cameras,but there's lots more differencesbetween the Google 6 Proof the iPhone 13 Pro Max.So I'm going to be doinga detail comparison,looking at all of the differences.If you want to see that firstand be sure to subscribe andhit that bell icon.
