[NOTE 8 vs ONEPLUS 6 vs PIXEL 2 XL] Low Light Photography - a Small Comaprison.

[achyut]

Okay, I've had a LG V30+ which I sold off for the Op6. But My frnd still has kept his Note 8 and Pixel 2XL with himself.
I shot 3 sets for comparison.

Please note that the time I had the phones are limited and so the comparison pics are also limited to same surroundings but different framing.
The attachments are also in same order of Pixel 2 XL --> OnePlus ^ --> Note 8

I am quite awestruck by the OnePlus's Camera prowess. See for yourselves.

Thanks for sharing these. I have recently purchased both a v30+ at a substantial discount as well as an op6. What are some of your thoughts about your transition?

I am still torn. The V30+ is hands down the BEST size, build and sensible phone in a long time. I LOVED the headphone sound on my HD600s (you need to have a High Impedence Can to hear what the V30+ can do) but I downright HATED the camera. And I am pathetic in keeping phones, how so very good it might be. I skimp phones in a max time of 2 months.
Didn't feel as bad while letting my Pixel 2 or the S9+ go as I felt with the V30+. Loved that phone.

Great thread. Kind of confirms what I suspected, that the OP6 camera is very close though not quite as good as the other two, but closer than the price differential would suggest.

quick comment

Judging by the photos, oneplus might have just a little bit of a problem dealing with bright spots as compared to pixel but its better than pretty much everything else .

and also judging by your photos, it seems it comes down to autofocus and how still you are while taking photos , these two have much larger impact on sharpness than anything else.

Well, I think OP6 has leveraged the Camera game in the midrange price bracket into new heights. It compares favourably to these flagships.

Interesting as what I've seen on the reviewers comparisons that the OP6 has been much better at NOT blowing out the bright areas compared to the S9+ and the Pixel 2XL. I'm wondering if you had the settings not quite right? Was your HDR off or something?

And it was actually the slightly darker pics against those other 2 phones. In these pics it is much lighter and a little washed out.

Update: After looking again I am surprised though that the Pixel camera has much more noise in the phone then the OP6 as you can see in the sky and the trees above is very bad.
