I must be looking at different photos--the second pic looks far worse. Only the bright part of the pumpkin is moderately in focus and the narrow depth of field isn't creating a good 'portrait' mode look, just making everything slightly blurry. Nearly all of the first picture is in focus with greater dynamic range--lower lit areas show much more detail. First looks infinitely better to my eye.
If it makes a difference, I'm viewing the images on a new 16" MBP (not flexing, just showing I'm not looking on a smaller phone display)
viewing through the Pixel my phones picks for me the pic lmao ..that's what they call Google intelligence hehe
Thank you so much!
Nice looking good there. I'm very happy with battery life.. Today I burned through some battery using Android Auto for about an hour and 40 minutes. Music and maps going definitely kills a little bit of the battery, but I haven't found a phone that holds up while I'm using it
Excellent comparison vid, thanks! I'm loving these posts especially since the Pixel isn't being released in my country so I can't check them out for myself before ordering.
That must be why I couldn’t find it. Thanks!
Yeah as others have said. ?
Thanks to everyone posting samples. My husband and I tried to get pictures of the candles on our table at the restaurant last night, but the waiter kept zooming over and asking if we were okay, did we need anything, and trying to see the screens on the phones. We were clearly not taking photos of other people, of which there were few, just a damn candle and glass, so it’s not like we were disrupting the restaurant. It was weird and unnerving and he walked in enough that his crotch was in the background.
What little I could observe of our ruined photos is that the elderly iPhone XR produces a well exposed softer image that captures the scene most closely to what the eye sees in dim lighting. iPhone 13 Pro Max produces an image where highlights and contrasts hinted at in the XR image are amped up so that texture is exaggerated in dim light and everything looks more dramatic. The Pixel 6 Pro more evenly exposes the subject so you can see details that remain in shadows on the XR image. To me, overall the Pixel photos seemed more pleasing, but zooming in on details revealed the iPhone captured and retained more texture details. Pixel images also tended to be cooler than what our eyes perceived in person.
I’m frankly shocked how competitive the XR camera still is. I’m pretty sure this XR is better in every way than my original XR from a few years ago was. The display is definitely better. It just can’t give you images your own eyes can’t see the way the newer cameras with the night modes can.
The one test we haven’t done is trying to freeze action with pets in indoor lighting. Our newer iPhones, the 12’s Pro and non Pro can do this very well and the 13 Pros still can but sometimes struggle more. XR in indoor lighting probably can’t, judging from my kid’s photos. Samsung S21 Ultra and earlier can’t. Samsung is really honestly just sad at that sort of thing.
He was talking about the weather widget, not the search bar widget.It’s on iPhone too.
Yeah we are having the same conditions. I still think I could put up a decent photo comparison once I get my Pixel but I’m going to replicate the candles at the restaurant scene, minus the waiter’s crotch. 😆It’s frustrating as weather is awful here so not got much Chance to test out the cameras on good lighting yet. With heavy rain forecasted for tomorrow as well
That’s been my experience on 5G with iPhones recently. Little hand warmers.
