Google Pixel 3 -vs- Samsung Galaxy S9: Fifty Camera Photo Comparisons (Obvious Winner here!)

31 161



I had to re-upload this video cause for some reason all the photos looked as if it was softened. So here you go:

Here is a side by side comparison (no post edit) between the Google Pixel 3 and the Samsung Galaxy S9. I take 50 photos each using both the back side and front (selfie) side camera. I also took photos on both phones (front and back camera) using that effect that makes the background blurry. Google Pixel calls if portrait mode (same as iPhone) and the Samsung Galaxy calls it the selective focus mode.

Well… which phone takes better overall photos?

    likes for the music. Good comparison, thanks for the effort.

  2. Travis Chilafoux says

    Both great phones. As a s9 owner I could have made some of the lighter pics darker with the S9 pro mode which I dont think was used in this comparison

  3. RisingMtl says

    Bo-key it's pronounced Bo-key…

  4. Dyna Melo says

    Have a s9 plus. Amazing phone for everday use except everytime i pull it out to take photos , my iphone, even one plus user friends bash at the "shitty color grading and details" and that shit hits like hell.

  5. kulio nuel says

    2:14 says it all that bokeh on the pixel 👍👋😎

  6. GAMINGZ CITY says

    umm everyone saying pixel won, but the sad truth is they're both very close (the pixel 3 slightly better) but let's talk about price, the google pixel is like 300$ more, so it all comes down to one thing, if you want a good quality phone, samsung is always the way to go they never disappoint us there and if you want a slightly better camera and you got the cash then buy the Pixel 3, so with all that being said… if you wanna spend the extra 300$ for a slightly better camera, or if you want a very similar camera (almost the same) and a good processor etc.. fOr a good price then s9 is the way to go!

    USE G CAM ON S9 PLUS

  8. MemeExplainer says

    Samsung has less details

  9. imserious2187 says

    So close it really depends on what phone you like, Samsung or pixel

  10. Iran Guioshi says

    Pixel is better. S9+ seems to be a lot "beauty".

  11. Willem Van Oosterum says

    Stupid beauty mode…

  12. Zencann says

    I prefer the s9 because on the s9, you can adjust the brightness bar and you'll get the same details as the pixel 3 without it being as dark as the pixel 3.

  13. Eric Lafrance says

    U work for Samsung 😂✌

  14. Steve i says

    pixel 3 appears to have more range and doesn't flatten out the subject as much, especially in shadows.

  15. Jason Bourne says

    Too much overexposure with the s9. I think out of the top flagship phones, the video quality on the Samsung phones are top notch, but pictures are something they have a long way to go on. Pixel 3 video quality is pretty good, and the stabilization (based on YT videos) seems better than most, but their pictures are on a whole other level. The build/design of the phone I give to s9. Battery life, slight edge to the s9. Native android, fast updates go to the Pixel 3.

  16. Shan says

    I prefer reality (Pixel 3) over fake fantasy (S9 plus) .

  17. EmAyEx says

    Can you off the beauty mode for samsung s9?

  18. GEORGI ILIEV says

    Yours S9 is fake.The real did not shoot like that !

  19. Charles Jewell says

    Both are good. I think the Samsung tends to wash out the colours too much.

  20. Sam says

    this photos are not taken with same settings … anybody who knows anything about photography can see that … it's like comparing apples and oranges … reshoot the video with proper comparison cause this is ridiculous to watch

  21. Jeremy Dylan says

    Seems like the Pixel 3 front camera is a lot better, while the assumed rear shots are a lot more close (ignoring the overexposure of some of them). Certain situations, the rear Pixel camera is way to underexposed (easy to fix but in a point and shoot comparison…) while the s9 is way over. It'd be more interesting to see all of the comparisons made in a pro setting with each shot being adjusted right vs the auto hdr and auto exposure. Sometimes the Pixel appears oversaturated and sometimes the s9 appears oversaturated, I feel the pro setting on each would even out all of these issues. Overall though, that Pixel front camera has amazing detail! I always use my rear camera for selfies, I wouldn't have to with a Pixel! But the phone isn't sleek in my eyes.

    Samsung looks like some cheap Chinese phone… I have s9+ and can confirm that photos are crap. My old iPhone 6 plus has nicer pics

  23. Wesley Andries says

    S9 plus wins again

  24. addeamani says

    Pixel 3 nailed it!!

  25. Murilo Acherman says

    i dont like the google pixel phone, but how the fuck is this camera so fuckin good, it is better the galaxy, iphone or any other phone on the market, i wish the s9 had that good camera

  26. E A says

    S9 wins!

  27. Ehtesam Molla says

    Bad.. no zoom pic nothing

  28. Joshua Behrens says

    It’s like the pixel pushes up the contrast. Would say Samsung looks more accurate in terms of color. but I like the detail in the faces on pixel 3.

  29. Diego Viecili says

    Pixel 3, the champ😁

  30. Band Geek says

    1:51 when you forget to take a second photo, so you just mirror it and change the exposure haha

  31. elly nicole says

    Thanks for sharing this video. I have the S9 and I'm not too happy with the pictures and from your video I can see that the pixel is slightly better. Some pictures looked very similar but most of the selfies looked much better on the pixel than on S9. I wish you had some pictures in low light and indoors light cause the S9 selfies when taken with flash on the pictures are a bit blurry compared with flash on auto which is very strange, so I really wanted to see how pixel low pics look flash, no flash etc in low light conditions.
