Both phones had to compensate for the direct sunlight on the subject and both did very well, even if the Pixel compensated better in my opinion. The Pixel zoomed out a bit while the iPhone brought things in a little closer to focus on Mark’s face. In these portraits of Mark Spoonauer, both phones took different approaches to the final images. The greenish tones to the water look a bit better in the Pixel’s image, but this is, as we’ve seen thus far, a very close race. That said, the iPhone captures more of the landscape due to its wider field of view. The scene looks more well-lit thanks to the sun off to the left. In this ultrawide landscape shot, the Pixel has a clear advantage when it comes to brightness.

The iPhone warmed things up a bit too much in response to the cool lighting, and the image is overall dimmer than the Pixel’s. Heading indoors to this produce stand, the Pixel’s shot is brighter and compensates better for the harsh lighting above. I personally prefer the iPhone’s picture here.

The Pixel 6 Pro’s image almost looks washed out in comparison, but this comes down to differences in post-processing. You can see this in the scarecrow’s shirt and background in those blues and reds, plus the red building in the back. In this photo of the pumpkins, the differences between the two photos is slight, but you can see that the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s picture looks a tad more saturated. (For more on how the two phones compare, read our full Google Pixel 6 Pro vs. Without further ado, here’s how the Pixel 6 Pro stacks up to the likes of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the current king of our best camera phones list. Google says it works best on beaches and at parks.

It's obviously not perfect, but the Pixel 6 Pro will automatically suggest things to remove. This is an incredible feat of engineering, letting you effectively remove unwanted items from the background of your photos. Overall, the Pixel 6 Pro can go up to a 20x digital zoom, with the AI-powered Super Res Zoom to help clean up the final images.Īmong the new AI features powered by the Tensor chip, the highlight is Magic Eraser. The 12MP ultrawide camera has a 114-degree field of view and the 48MP telephoto sports a 4x optical zoom thanks to its folded optics. The main sensor is now 50MP, letting in 150% more light according to Google. Google upgraded the hardware to complement the improved software algorithms and Tensor strengths.
