Pixel 8 did much better than i thought it would. Thanks for comparing what you see with your eyes regarding colors and lighting vs what the phones show. It gives us a point of reference that a lot of reviewers never mention. Great job.

If we wouldn’t have both pictures side by side it would be hard to know
The S23 would be the perfect camera phone (good size, good lenses including zoom) but the oversaturation completely destroys it for me. As a landscape photographer, I prefer the more natural colors of the Pixel.

@michelrodrigues1241 There's is no difference
P8 pictures are to my liking. I went from S22 to P8P, and am very pleased with the more-natural colors and increased dynamic range.
Would be nice If Samsung gave us a toggle for 'natural colors' for the camera like they have one for the display.

Really ??
Pixel wins for photos but isn't the best for video. Though I would like Google to revisit the image rendering for the front camera because it seems to darken eyes quite severely in every review I've seen to date.
Photo quality is so close in most of today's phones you probably wouldn't notice a difference if they weren't side-by-side.

Funny how about 3 updates ago the pictures from the S23 were less saturated...
For stills no one can beat pixels but difference isn't that great. But having snapdragon gen 2 makes a huge difference.
Processor, software and security update,UI, flagship camera and Video super stabilization. S23 for me.
Pixel does better in most of the cases in my opinion. Samsung kindda over process things like tree leaves look over sharpened and even in the day time videos, pixel's dynamic range is better as well. Great video. 👌

But for me i like the samsung better.... I'm not bias too... The night time shot looks nocer on the samsung..yhe pixel was uite grainy... But anyway it depends on personal preference
For consumer products like these we don't really distinguish between the capabilities of the cameras' hardware (lenses & sensors, etc) and their digital processing (software algorithms), which makes up so much of the phone photography experience. You may not like the specific rendering that each phone gives in a particular scenario; but if you learn to tweak the results in Edit mode, you can often closely match the results of these phones. Both are fantastic instruments - in many aspects they're far beyond any camera we may've owned in the pre-smart phone era.

Concur. When I look at these shots taken by reviewers, their ability particularly in low light is astonishing with what they produce (hardware + software). Its far beyond what I was able to capture on a long cycle touring trip (aus to sweden via africa) in 2010-11 using an early Olympus PEN M43 set-up, despite having nice glass (like the 20mm pany lens, and a shoe horned 50mm Nikon f1.8 for manual portrait/tele shots). When I look at some of the great shots I took of night and landscapes with that camera at the time... they are crap compared to what I could have easily achieved with either of these smartphones, particularly when it comes to dynamic range. Speed of these smartphones just blows the old equipment away, as well. When I look back, I am still really happy with what I captured, there's some beautiful memories. I just don't need to blow serious money on camera equipment any more, to be happy with my photography, enjoy it, and capture experiences to share :-)

I agree. But majority of the phone camera users doesn't like (or can) to edit anything they just point and shoot. So it's very important how the camera works in it's default and automatic settings.

@@roskapostit2609 True, but also: the majority of consumers that never adjust their pics at all are much less critical of tonality & colour & exposure, than folks like you and me. It's disatisfaction (or evolved aesthetic tastes) that drives a person to figure out how to make adjustments. For most people, their visual discrimination lags behind even an average modern phone cam's capabilities.

The S23 will have better detail when zooming in
The Pixel 8's main sensor is noticeably superior in most circumstances but the S23's Ultrawide sensor is going much better at night. The image quality of the S23's daytime video from the main sensor is surprisingly disappointing as compared to the Pixel 8.
The labels are swapped at the beginning for the video comparison. Pixel 8 is on the right and S23 on the left. The rest of the video its the other way around. Is that correct?

Thanks for the video comparison! Actually I am chosing one of the pnones to buy right now.

Pixel 8 handles night time photos better right from the box. P.S. you can easely get Google Camera port mode on S23 and get more natural photos for particular scenarios :)

Well i had s23 for a week and sent it back!: Galaxy S23 does a lot of things (very) good. It has good size and weight, design and all. But especially cameras are disappointing. High noise in pictures, blurry/unsharp spots aswell. You can find many others with those technical issues since launch of the phone, nothing happened ( updates?!) Three days after setting it up, the OneUI wouldn't let me search for apps in home screen..next day it worked again.. So, no thanks! Gonna try Pixel 8 soon.

I've been a pixel guy since the release of 2XL that became my phone then later upgraded to pixel 5, before upgrading this year ofc I waited for Pixel 8 after knowing G3 wasn't even equal to 8+ Gen1, I chose S23 the camera is still an upgrade over the pixel 5 anyway also never thought I'd use the zoom lens often than ultrawide, kinda wish I got the s23 when release. The S23 takes the front cam, zoom and video. Overall Pixel 8 takes w no surprise there.
Don't know but that 3x zoom pictures looks better on Pixel. It's closer and much more details you can see
