Let's base it all on 1 picture taken by a forum member with a clear axe to grind...lol.Wow, the Pixel 3, blows away the iPhone, hands down. Amazing and no ugly skin smoothing effect either.

Well the iPhone definitely wins look at the background windows showing well betterI don't think anybody could seriously tell me that there isn't a huge quality difference in these two photos below.

That is literally night and day. The pixel 3 is miles better, the way it works around the curly hair, and the sharpness. Far far more DSLR like!
Kind of the point. If you're just holding it and one comes out to be in focus more than the other doesn't that say something about how well the focus works on the pixel 3? I went through all the photos and the pixel 3 to me looks like the better camera.
I agree. Notice that the background in the Pixel photo is more blurry compared to the iPhone. Definitely much better detail in the background in the Max photo.
The plastic skin smoothening on the XS front camera is really noticeable, though. Not good.
They don't look that much different. What do you expect from a $45 camera on a phone?
iOS 12.1 will have some much needed camera refinements; it's clear this wasn't fulled baked for release day.
I own the XS but in these photos the Pixel 3 is quite a bit sharper especially on your son’s hair. It is your son right? I’ll feel like a dummy if notI don't think anybody could seriously tell me that there isn't a huge quality difference in these two photos below.

I believe that’s part of the problem of low light shooting with the XS/Max. I’ve seen this in a number of comparisons in the past few days.The XS photo isn't in focus. take two photos equally in focus and then compare. I can take a photo with a $2000 dslr kit that looks worse, if not properly in focus.
I would estimate 8 of 10 reviews I've read online this past week have Google's phone taking better pics than Apple's. Can MR parse specs anymore thinner to justify their closer "Both phones have their advantages & drawbacks"? Seems a bit petty to me.
