I don't plan from switching phones at the moment, but these photos make a strong statement for the Pixel which is something that I haven't considered. I would love to see a comparison of Huawei, Vivo, Xiaomi, Google, Samsung, and Apple to see which truly makes the best. I care most about zoom since I often use the zoom feature on my phones.


The best for zoom is Xiaomi 15U. It make very very good shots even on 15x zoom and above. The others is not even closer. Im talking about global market devices, not china only exotics.

If these were processed IN the camera software, that's one thing, but even on a smartphone, I shoot everything in raw+jpeg. If it is something someone needs ASAP, I just text it, but normally I post in photoshop.

It would be interesting to see the exif data in the raw files to see what is actually going on, or if the camera software has a bug.

Yeah neck to neck? Look again plz Whats wrong with android users ? Blind ?

https://www.dxomark.com/smartphones/

I see iphone 17 pro 168 and google pixel 10 pro xl 163. Has to be more than one reason.

1 point difference in favor of iphone in photos on domark. We know hoe to read. Plus do a real ilife test, Pixel more natural and more detail. I've been Iphone user for years but this year the Pixel won. Are you a democrat by chance cause they can't read either. Both are good its what you prefer. Go Pixel.

Here’s a perfect example of AI being put to great use—the Pixel boasts the best camera by far. The photos are stunning, with incredible detail. To those who downplay the usefulness of AI in 2025 (looking at you, #iSheep), Google just showed how valuable AI can be when applied for the right reasons. Congrats to Google! Hopefully, Samsung adopts a similar approach next year. Today, software has become far more important than hardware, and Google has been demonstrating this for years.

I mean if the results are being improved by AI... Is it REALLY the best camera by far or the best use of AI in post processing? And I'm saying this as a Pixel user... If I take a pic from my iPhone and open it in Google Photos then click the auto AI Enhance... That's kinda what the Pixel is doing automatically for each image. I'll bet if you use the Adobe LR in app camera, shoot RAW images on both the results of this comparison would look a lot different.

I am not a Google Pixel user but give them credit for their software processing and year after year showing that today software matters more than hardware. Its nice to get such photo results immediately without tinkering with each photo. I say this and I am a Galaxy user, a device that has 4 cameras and a lot of megapixels, but have to be honest with my self, the post processing from the Pixels together with the automatic use of AI make it shine, and the proof is in the photos shown in this article.

The new Pixel relies on a massive amount of AI processing for all its images. They’re not really photos at this point. The more like highly advanced cartoons. The iPhone does not do that and if you want your iPhone photos to look like pixel photos import them into something like Topaz and let Topaz have at it.


In the end, if you really want a good photo, use a real camera, and while that might get me flamed here, facts are facts. I’ll put photos taken with an almost decade old Canon 6D Mark II with a consumer lens up against any smartphone made today and there will be no challenge presented by said smartphone. Add my R5 Mark II & an L lens to the mix and it will be 20 years before a smartphone comes close. Smartphones are great for quick memories, but no matter what you carry in your pocket it’s still never going to give you fantastic photos.

These photos make a strong statement for AI, not the pixel itself. You can pretty much take any photo from any camera and dump it in an AI processing system like Topaz and have it turn out like the pixels, which is essentially a cartoon not a photo.

On the contrary, I prefer facts over beliefs. I regret to inform you that, in my opinion, the iPhone Pro, according to DXOMARK, outperforms the Pixel 10 Pro XL. Facts are objective and should be considered. Furthermore, I am not a Democrat. Please refrain from introducing political discourse into this conversation. Your previous post demonstrated a lack of understanding, and I am confident that you have acquired basic mathematical knowledge during your education.

The pixel also has a photo without the AI just for people like you. But in reality when the average person who sees these pictures compared to an iPhone out in the real world, they going to be more taken by the pixel. Trust me, I've done it many times. No one cares how much AI is in it, if It looks good. It looks good and that's what people want.
