iPhone 8/Plus Google pixel 2 vs iPhone 8 quality in real life

[unagimiyagi]

Hi, would appreciate owners of both to chime in on which camera they like more: the pixel 2 or the iPhone 8.

How reliable is the portrait bokeh function on the pixel 2? Can you do the blue effect on subjects who are not standing still?

I care about the camera quality a lot. From what I have seen the pixel 2 camera is at least as good as the iPhone 8, but their visual core hasn’t even been activated yet. I sort of wonder if three months from now the pixel 2 may pull definitively ahead of the iPhone 8 once the visual core is enabled. So my question is basically, is the pixel 2’s dynamic range, sharpness , autofocus better than the iPhone 8? I recall reading that the pixel chooses quick shutter speed which is great as the iPhone has all kinds of motion blur.

Unless they own both phones, they wouldn't be able to compare the two based on their own experience.

Not a good comparison pic since they were at different angles.

It is more than good enough to show that iPhone X does not deal with noise very well in low light, or color retention, or detail retention.

No, it's actually rated better than the Pixel 2 XL in tests in low light.

Here is some better examples.

I'm confused. iPhone pics are noisy in most of those in the video. Pixel didn't do well in a few, but primarily from shadow perspective, not loss of detail or noise. So if I tally up all photos I see in this video, Pixel is much better.

Is the Pixel 2 camera that much better or a little better?

I’ve watched enough of the iPhone X and Pixel camera reviews to prefer the Pixel when it comes to the camera.

I still use iPhone because the camera is 95% there and everything else is better than Android devices.

Its known that the Pixel 2 xl has a better camera than the X

I didn't have my iPhone X with me to my Australia trip yet, but here's some examples of low light for you by Pixel 2

I think they are close in most all but low light. Pixel 2 is better overall camera by a little in most cases from my experience, except when it comes to low light. Pixel 2 is significantly better and more consistent in my day to day use. X is way too noisy.
