Pixel 2XL vs iPhone XS Camera Comparison! (Photo Test)

35 52

These two cameras were both shooting in their HDR+/Smart HDR modes throughout, all of the photos taken here. Both were left to their own to shoot the picture, without a tap on the screen to adjust any settings.

To me, the Pixel’s photo is much cleaner, more colour accurate and just in general looks better especially in terms of details, but this doesn’t make the iPhones camera bad by any means – it’s just not as good.

    I have iPhone 6s who can't hold any app in the memory, sometimes crashes apps and freezing, I thinking about buying new phone but where I live iPhone xr cost 1,040$ based model, iPhone x cost 1,200$ new modes 1400$ so insane prices makes me to switch to the Android like pixel 2xl cost 580$ so yeah

  3. Emil Kirma says

    So ur saying the iPhone XS camera is terrible

  4. Hydrant 98 says

    Pixel best detail photo

  5. chirag jain says

    The actual comparison is not between the camera both have a great camera
    What a smartphone buyer prefers in the camera is not the detail in a landscape shot
    They want the overall photo which is in the thumbnail size to look good which the pixel does not saying the iPhone doesn't
    But the xs or any other model than that above the iPhone x would cost you literally double than what pixel is sold at prevailingly infact it cost me around 570 dollars but that's here in India ,in any other country it's way more economical

    So you should decide paying 600$ or more for that clarity which it doesn't justify is more sensible or paying less and still have a less decent camera in comparison to the xs max

    PS:this doesn't apply to you if your a billionaire (I mean stupid )

    Battery life of your pixel 2xl? Sot?

  7. sanmarinojr says

    Pixel 2 & 3 will remain 👑 still oct 19 at least.😍😍😍

  9. Injamamul Golder says

    Great comparison mate. Keep it up.

  10. Echo says

    Great review just bought a Pixel 2 xl didn't feel the Pixel 3 is worth it I'll wait for the Pixel 4.

  11. The 11th Doctor says

    HDR+ on the pixel 2 is really really good.

  12. Andrei Tatarus says

    Ugly cunt!!!

  13. Auza N. says

    I laugh everytime i see memes that are like "hey guys look at this picture captured on android" and the picture is photoshopped with the mosaic filter to make it look pixelated. Those people really stuck to 2013 lol

  14. george monkee says

    Nice review I have an opportunity to pick up a pixel 2 xl. 200$ USD. I'm going to do it now after watching you're camera review

  15. Hari Krishnan says

    What is apple doing? Still not beating pixel 2 for this price.
    Waiting for pixel 3 camera performance.

  16. Shanthi Vardhan says

    Soon you will reach a million subscribers brother

  17. shakh94 says

    Which one are you guys using?
    I’m thinking about switching to pixel 2xl (bought used for $400) , galaxy watch and buy surface products

    Or keep IPhone X and buy into apple’s lock down ecosystem.

    Can’t decide

  18. Ridoy Rezwan says

    Did you turn on the smart HDR ?

  19. Bob Garon says

    Thank you for doing this!!! 🤙

  20. If its really iPhone XS (I think its X), then its seems you turned off hdr mode on him! Do not mislead. Give the source to the photo, pls.

  21. Parvesh Saini says

    pixel 3 xl camera will destroy camera of pixel 2xl…..comment when you understand it….#isheep

  22. Ankit Garg says

    What about the Pixel 2 camera, does it perform on the same level as the 2 XL

  23. muhammed farhan says

    Pixel winner
    Apple pride losers

  24. Randy Robinson says

    Your comparison video looks nothing like other comparison videos… the pics look like the iPhone X not Xs… not saying you actually do have the X and not the Xs, just that the pics look like the iPhone X pics

  25. svtrader says

    Holy Crap, son! 9:20.5??????

  26. Ratul Dasgupta says

    I think Google should really consider making a budget phone. With that level of a camera and software, it just screams out to be a killer. By the way, are you considering to make a review on the Pocophone F1? Would love to see how it compares to these boys. #teamPixel

  27. Lamur Cribb says

    This was extremely biased. My god

  28. schalazeal07 says

    Whoa!! I thought Iphone xs already beat my bae pixel 2 in the camera dept but pixel 2 is still camera king! Sooo excited for Pixel 3 xl!

  29. joel allwyn says
  30. Sheikh Suleiman says

    It's quite amazing that pixel 2 retained its title for best camera in a smartphone for a year now and there's still no comparison against this phone. Only a pixel 3 will be able to beat pixel 2. Good job Google, the only thing you are good at..

  31. Vhsss Tv says

    Lg V40 vs pixel 3 ❤️

  32. Dhanar Putra says

    I prefer Pixel 1 because it's slightly bigger sensor.

  33. Whiteshadow001 says

    As a Pixel 2 owner, this makes me happy.

  34. Bunny says

    I'm gonna go off-topic here and just admire the fact that this video is shot to take advantage of the 18:9 or 19:9 aspect ratios of the screens we're watching this on.

  35. Anuj Rana says

    Apple is crap for a $1000 phone!
    Google takes the cake every time!
