My iPhone X - Pixel 2 XL - LG V30 Camera Comparison

[keithleger]

Here is an album with photos shot is FULL AUTO mode. No tweaking settings, focusing or anything. Just letting the camera shoot a photo from the same spot. I know this is not great for the pros out there but it is the way most of us shoot pics. Anyway, I did not take a ton of photos but here are the ones I did take. With the LG i did not do "portrait mode" but did include shots from both the regular and wide angle lenses in the comparison.
I was overall impressed by all cameras. Just click "info" icon at top right to see photo details which list the camera model.

For me results were
Color - iPhone X - yes, oversaturated like Samsung, but I like that.
Detail - Pixel 2 - even though colors did not pop as much the detail in textures and such were better in most of the photos for me
low light - Pixel 2 - just grabbed better detail in the photos (The one with the helicopter was VERY low light, just a crack in the door letting a little light in)

Anyway, I know everyone has different opinions so thought I'd put an album up so people could see and compare the original untouched photos.

I give the win to Pixel 2 because I can always fix colors and make the photo more vibrant. I can't add detail.

Yeah they're not labelled so I am just guessing as well. But if you click on the info button individually, you'll be able to see the model of which camera.

If you click the info button, it'll tell you what phone took it.

No guessing needed. In photos just click on the black info icon and the window stays open showing you the photo settings as well as the phone that took it as you go from photo to photo.

OP, just curious, how do you like the x compared to the pixel overall?

Well, I like android over iOS for one. But I do LOVE the gestures on the X. I so wish android did something similar and of course the animations on iOS seem to always be smoother.
The X feels heavy but nice in hand. I really think the phone looks awesome but I don't care for the notch.
Face ID is hit or miss. I don't like the implementation of look then swipe to actually get to your home screen.
I much prefer Pixel fingerprint sensor.
Phone is just too small. It is basically the size of regular Galaxy S8. The Pixel/V30 screen dwarfs it in so many apps since most are not optimized for X's screen

Overall, this is the best iPhone I've ever used and really liked it but doubt it is enough to truly switch ecosystems over. But it is fun to play with for a week or so.
