iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Google Pixel 8 Pro, which takes better photos?

Earlier this month wecompared the quality of the shotscaptured by the iPhone 15 Pro Max and theSamsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. It emerged that the iPhone seemed to capture more natural shots than its competitor. Let's see today how he fares against the last onePixelofGoogle, who isconsidered one of the best photophones on the market.

Whilehe made fun (gently) of the iPhone 15in an advertisement last September, we recently learned that thePixel8would have lost nearly 61.4% of its value,only 10 days after its launch. The iPhone 15 Pro Max, for its part, would have lost only 18% after one month of existence. One point for the apple! Now let's see who does better in terms of photos.

Main camera

Unlike the comparison with the Samsung, we realize that this time, it is the iPhone 15 Pro which seems to rely a little more (but not too much) on color processing. Despite the fact that thePixel8 Proseems to offer a more natural rendering on the main camera, the iPhone sometimes offers more details thanks to the brightness of the photos. Apple seems to have chosen the right compromise. On the other hand, on close-up shots, thePixel8does better.

Grand angle

Regarding the wide angle camera, both are excellent. As for the main camera,the iPhone offers more brightness, but the photos are smoother here, this time to the detriment of certain details which disappear. THEPixelseems to be doing a little better on this point.

Telephoto zoom

On the x5 zoom, the iPhone seems to do better and offers more details. Now let's see what it looks like when we zoom in as much as possible.

Very clear victory for the iPhone here, which offers much more detail.

Night mode

The low light mode ofiPhone Prohas made enormous progress as you can see in the photos. You should know that thePixel Prohas long been a leader in this area, but the iPhone may now take the lead. The quality of iPhone Night mode photos is simply impressive.

Small precision

Some photos were taken with an iPhone 15 Pro, but this one hasexactly the same characteristicsin terms of photos than the 15 Pro Max. It is only on the Zoom part that there is a difference. Therefore, the photos presented here, in the “Zoom telephoto lens”, were taken with a Pro Max. For others no, but it makes no difference.

So who do you think takes the best photos between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Google Pixel 8 Pro?
