the most confusing scoring I've ever seen😂
I think because I know how to set up the camera for each scene, I would rather choose the 23 ultra.
I don't know. But the scoring is extremely confusing.
If we take into account the price of the phone, its features and its camera, then the winning phone is the Xiaomi 13T pro without a doubt.

For me, the Pixel 8 has the best all-round capabilities. I wish google would install real high-end hardware with a reasonable battery performance. The focal length of the main camera is also far too wide-angled, I would prefer 35mm or 28mm like Nubia.

The price of the 15 Pro Max vs the Pixel 8 though. Pixel 8 wins for overall quality of photos and value for money. but that's just my way of rating these.
I have a pixel 8 and very impressed so far looking forward to the update on the night shots which should improve it a lot.
S23 ultra all is the best camera phone to my opinion. I guess at the end of the day it depends on the user experience.

I had 4 guests over. I muted the video. I would pause the video and we would vote for each segment. In the end we liked the pixel more, followed by the S23. Also, the Pixel is lower priced and comes with a watch. Its a no brainer.
It seems like Pixel 8 Pro took step back in low light? What's going on? Surely there will be software updates?

15:45 8Про имеет кроп х2 с 48мп матрицы в телефото, что позволяет ему в полном разрешении иметь увеличение 10х без потери качества. В остальных смартфонах телефото 12мп, к тому же размер матриц у них 1/3.52" и 1/3.06, тогда как у 8Про размер матрицы в телефото 1/2.55". Поэтому телефото у него лучший.

Its sad that google can slap a thermometer in pixel 8 pro, which nobody wanted or asked, but they can not acomodate a SD card slot. These companies stripping away popular features like headphone jack or sd card slot, makes me look toward sony xperia 1 v. If sony promised 5years of software n security, i would buy it at any price at all. Please compare google pixel 8 pro, vs sony experia 1 v, vs samsung s23 ulta, in terms of user experience, UI, in hand feel, features, battery drain time, thermal management, and value for money. I ll buy one of these 3. Waiting for response. Thanx
Never lose a pixel on the camera, perhaps there are points on the smartphone where it loses, but not on the camera. You can delete the video straight away.
Brighter subjects win = s23 ultra
I have bought the Xiaomi 13t pro, mostly just because of the price performance ratio. The loading speed in particular is fantastic. But honestly, if there was a global version of the Oppo Find X6 pro, I would definitely have gotten it. I think the Oppo would beat all of these phones in this camera comparison. Perhaps it would be released more or less the same price like the Xiaomi 13t pro. Unfortunately there is no release planned.

The biggest issue I'm having with this video is the fact that the Xiaomi isn't used properly. It is all about the Leica peel that comes with using the camera. You have to select certain settings for your pictures to turn out professional. It is not an "instant grab it out your pocket and shoot" kinda phone. 😅

You can force the iPhone to use Night mode and that’s what you should have for a fair comparison.
Thanks for this great video. I think the 8pro wins, as it is cheaper than the iPhone. It would be interesting to compare cost per point for each phone based on average street price😉. I would guess the 8pro comes out as a clear winner.
Now hear me out, the s23 cameras with the leica lenses and processing done on the xiaomi phones. I really like their processing.
Why do you like oversharpened picture so much ? You kept giving points to the phone with most overhsarpening which is weird. I mean people doesnt see things in that way .

Xiaomi is the price-performance winner and with the price savings I could live well with only less compromises. Otherwise, the difference between the Pixel and the iPhone (Pro) is so small that personal taste will probably be the deciding factor due to the look of the smartphones.
The best Xiaomi 13 series that's available globally is the 13 Pro. The newer T series has lower specs and crippled in quite a few areas.
I have a Pixel 8 Pro and I love it. I upgraded from a OnePlus 9 Pro.
on the ultra wide at 4:48 you can see the text on the door more clearly on the iphone, all the others are blurry, so i wouldn't say it was the worse. and if you edit i am pretty sure it will be better than the others

Thanks bro , but ur way off the s23 ultra really did the best, ur too biased and its too obvious how biased u r
I can tell right off the bat that you're biased and pro iPhone.
I switched from the Huawei P30 Pro to the Pixel 8 Pro and I'm not so sure yet. At first glance, the photos aren't much better. If you then zoom in here, you can of course see that the P30 pro lacks details. Nevertheless, I find the Huawei's photos more pleasing without zooming in. Then there is the issue of software. The Pixel 8 pro has probably frozen 2-3 times. Strangely enough, most mornings after getting up, I suddenly couldn't close the alarm app (clock). Other apps can also be laggy and sometimes freeze for a few seconds. Quite strange. KZread Music drains the battery like crazy... an hour of listening to music takes away 15-20% of the battery. The phone definitely gets very warm. Even today I could clearly feel it through the cover. On KZread Music, change background images, while looking at pictures on “Photos”. Compared to my Huawei, which was always fluid, never crashed and always stayed cool, it was actually a disaster. I'm thinking about returning the phone... I'm not sure yet. Actually, the camera is one of the most important things to me... let's see.
