The main fight in the current mobiles is located on the back of their screens, Cameras have become one of the main aspects of smartphones and the results and comparisons are tremendously matched. No one doubts that any current high-end smartphone makes incredible photos, which is why it is increasingly difficult to choose the best one.
This year Apple introduced important developments in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro focused on the camera, which place Apple devices at a very high level in terms of photography. This aspect has been dominated in recent years by Google and its Pixel, and after the presentation of Pixel 4 yesterday we are all waiting for a photographic comparison between both terminals.
The boys of The verge they have taken virtually nothing and They have made a small comparison between the cameras of the iPhone 11 Pro and the Google Pixel 4, although it is not a definitive comparison, it brings us a very interesting sample of the possibilities of both devices.
Photographic comparison between the iPhone 11 Pro and the Pixel 4
As we say, it's about a first approach and report that their full analysis arrive later. In addition all the photos have been taken from the same place and at the same time, so that there are no differences in light.
To start, we will compare the different cameras of each device and then we will see the photos taken:
IPhone 11 Pro cameras:
- Main: 12 megapixels, double OIS, six element lens, aperture / 1.8.
- Ultra wide angle: 12 megapixel five element lens, aperture / 2.4, 120 degree field of view.
- Telephoto: 12 megapixels, double OIS, six element lens, aperture / 2.0.
Pixel 4 cameras:
- Main: 12.2 megapixels, 1.4m pixel width, dual phase pixel detection, OIS, aperture of / 1.7, 77 degree field of view.
- Telephoto: 16 megapixels, pixel width of 1.0 m, phase detection, OIS, aperture of 2.4, field of view 52 degrees.
These are the examples they have shared of several photographs in different conditions and we will analyze their results and comments on the photos. In all comparisons the photo taken by the Pixel 4 be on the left and the photo taken by the iPhone 11 Pro on the right.
In this first outdoor photo and with the sun being seen among the trees both devices do a great job illuminating the shadow areas very well, however you can see how in the photo taken by the iPhone 11 Pro the colors are more vivid, especially in the sky and in the green areas.
This second image is of a very well removed interior and in this case the results cannot be more different. Again the iPhone saturates the image more than the Pixel, in the absence of knowing how the colors really were the photo of the Apple device "looks better". Also the iPhone is able to capture more light and allows us to appreciate more details inside the premises as well as in the right part of the photograph.
This interior photo of a cushion is taken to appreciate the detail that each of the photographs gets. Without zooming you can see that The iPhone 11 Pro photo has a higher level of detail, if we get closer we confirm that it is a much stronger picture.
In this photo we try to assess two aspects, on the one hand the color and on the other the details. According to Tom Warren, analyst of The verge, the Pixel 4 gets closer to reality in terms of color and both devices get great detail.
Of course it is only a first approximation and over the next few days there will surely be new comparisons that others show us important details such as night mode, portrait mode, camera selfie or video recording. Although it is possible that as in this case, it is very difficult to ensure which photo is better. If you want to see more examples, as well as the highest quality photographs, we recommend that you go through their fantastic analysis.
