Tired of having to see stupid photocamera comparison in youtube videos or low resolution jpg images?

This thread is here to post high quality comparisons, possibly with untouched images with default settings (or better, raw).
I am interested in having a place where I can check of the camera tech evolves in the mobile space.

Let me start with this one:

iPhone 13 Pro vs Pixel 3

 
Viewing raw isn’t better for the majority of people. Only those that are planning to edit the photos.

How do we know settings are the same, or even what settings are used?

That’s why the videos explaining what’s what and their editing process if using one on YouTube are much more useful.

You have to trust people they have used compatible settings and for the same reason they usually provide at least a dozen photos, trying to test every use case.

You can't compare an image with a youtube video, you need to compare it yourself.
 
This thread will become corrupted quickly by those pushing their own agenda. Even a photo shot with a Hasselblad can be made to look lame with just a little post fiddling.

Which agenda?

Anyway I don't mind, I only want link to those comparison, I don't care about opinions of other users.
 
I looked at the photos you posted, and thought that it was a pretty good comparison with several different lighting conditions.
DXOMARK has some well organized comparisons, for those that do not know about it. They also compare other important camera features, such as autofocus speed. Some people passionately hate DXOMARK (especially their scoring system), but they do attempt to compare cameras on an equal footing:


Comparing smartphone cameras with DSLRs or other "real" cameras is fraught with problems, as they can compare well (even better) for good lighting and medium focal lengths but poorly in some other conditions, and people selectively pick the comparisons that support their positions.
