Pixel 8 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Max: 6 Months Later, Who Wins? 👑

Ғылым және технология

Just over six months ago I picked up a launch-day iPhone 15 Pro Max. And, a couple weeks later, because that's just how I roll, I also bought a Pixel 8 Pro.
For the past half a year I've used these two a LOT -- most of the time, one or both of these have occupied my pockets. I've taken them to six countries, shot thousands of photos and videos and used each of these alongside their respective ecosystem of accessories.
So this one's going to be a really tough choice, but as always we have to pick an overall winner...

    Tbh, as someone who has both, and have used both for quite some time, it really depends on your OS…..I seriously can’t decide between android or iOS, so I keep both…..but there are a few people who would want some features in particular and for them android would be the most obvious pick, and then some for whom iOS will deliver the best of the best, cuz at the end of the day, both sides are extremely powerful and will fulfill almost any task you throw at them, no one phone is soo much better than the other that you really have to change your OS to get “that one thing”

    I did return the 15PM when it came out because I kept going back to the pixel. It is just one of those phones that just feels right. It was hard to say which camera was better. I liked the 24MP photos detail from the 15 but I preferred the colors on the Pixel and Pro mode allowed for very nice 50MP photos when needed.

    Am so glad it's not just me. About a month ago I upgraded to 15 Pro Max. I already have the Pixel 8 Pro but my plan was to give my Pixel to my wife as she also needed a new phone (her Huwaei P30 Pro stopped working) and for me to keep the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Regardless, ever since receiving it, it has been a nightmare for me deciding which to keep. Firstly, I think the novelty factor of the iPhone plus the battery lasting quite a bit longer makes it more appealing but I just kept wanting to use my Pixel 8 Pro even more. After taking several photos I decided the Pixel 8 Pro was just too good and ended up swapping with my wife. She now has the 15 Pro Max and I am back to my Pixel 8 Pro 😆

    Pixel has always had the better still camera performance IMO. Google's photo science is just more natural and has better HDR performance. The only area I think Apple has done better is with portraits but Google does better with zoom quality. Apple still is king for video recording by far though. Pixel>iPhone for photography.

    Thanks for the review, though the Oppo Find X7 Ultra and the Vivo X100 Pro are grabbing all the attention from photographers, these days, I think the iPhone and Pixel are if nothing else consistency kings, even if they can't quite match the quality. Is that fair? My question is I would be very interested to know how the Pixel 8 Pro fares in video when using with MotionCam, against the iPhone Pro Max using Pro Res, is the Pixel 8 Pro then better than the iPhone, or not?

    After having seen many videos and reviews I finally decided to buy the google pixel pro 8, great phone but there is one thing which I found very disappointing and that almost none of these "experts" deal with: sport photography. When you take a picture of somebody or something which moves, the focusing of the pixel pro is very slow and even with good lighting the object is blurred. My previous phone a modest samsung a50 has a much faster shutter speed. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Any advice welcome!

    The photographic styles on iPhone can be used to tweak the look on the photos. Use the tone slider to make the photos more vibrant or more moody. Unfortunately there's no way to make the photos more colourful by default if you like that Samsung style boosted saturation but fortunately its easy as pie to boost the colours in post by hitting edit, the magic wand and then moving the slider left and right to tweak the image to your liking.

    Alex, I have seen/ read/ enjoyed many of your articles and reviews at various outlets over the decades but I need to call this out. At 10:28 did you forget the iOS update that completely bricked thousands and thousands of users' phones requiring a visit to an Apple store to rectify? (iOS8/ 2014 I think). And a quick search pulls up many more recent threads of iOS updates bricking phones too. (up to 17.4.1 of Nov 2023). While you may never need to use command lines to fix - with Apple being locked you will have to take time off and book a visit to a store instead (assuming you have one close) or send it away as you can't fix it yourself. That comment was just unfair. Same with the comment about lack of polish - possibly less flair/ delight (that Apple does very well) - but I've had few experiences with any Nexus/Pixel phone of things not working. The idea that Android is buggy, beta software has been wrong for over a decade. Plus - Apple has never apologised for nerfing performance on older phones for "battery reasons" that was used to coerce people into the idea that their old, perfectly functional phone was on it's last legs and they should upgrade.

    I tried a whole bunch of Android smartphones this year hoping to find something that would make me switch back to Android, even though I am 100% in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Mac mini, iPad). The only one I found that could replace my iPhone is the Pixel 8 Pro. I didn’t encounter the same issues I usually find with Android smartphones. The voice command works perfectly (unlike other Android devices where, for some reason, I can never get the voice command to work on the Gboard keyboard). Additionally, when setting up a new phone, you can have an exact copy of your old Pixel, just like you can with a new iPhone. This isn’t the case with Samsung, etc., where you end up having to put all the apps back into folders yourself, reorganize everything, etc. In the end, I found that the photo and video quality were not as good as on the iPhone, so I kept my iPhone 15 Pro Max and returned the Pixel. However, I’m still looking forward to seeing the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I would be very happy to see Google reclaim its crown as the king of photography. They have the resources and talent; I don’t know what’s missing for them to achieve it. Having a disability, voice command allows me to write very quickly without exhausting myself, so it’s indispensable for me. Additionally, I don’t understand why, when copying data from an old Android smartphone to a new one, you don’t get an exact copy of what you had on the old one. You have to reorganize everything, redo your folders from scratch, etc. This is a basic feature, and Android is advanced enough to have this functionality. I will never understand this.

    I have been using Pixel 8 pro over 10 days, I probably will return it before the return window closes. Here are my reasons: 1. Photo colors(front camera) are not so accurate as iphone(I also have an iphone se 2, so I bet the new ones should be much better now.) Especially when camera meets red, pink and orange, it always make the color yellowish or too vibrant, it just doesnt get close to the real color. Editing can help but that will change the tone of the photos too. 2. Photo edges get blurred automatically. 3. Selfie camera makes skin tone too pale. 4. I shoot a lot photos and videos for jeweleries, and I usually use plants or other objects as background. The Pixel 8 pro camera can't focus well when camera is moving, it will always get focused on the background instead of jewelries. This happens when I'm using iPhone too, but most of time it gets what I want. I feel like iPhone gets 90% focused, and Pixel 8 pro gets only 50% or less focused. 5.Google Photo is so annoying and other photo apps dont work smoothly. I cant add albums without Google Photos which means I have to backup everything online, and I have to buy space if its over 15G. I downloaded other photo apps like Gallery and few others, none of them run well when I want to view the photos transferred from my old phone( ipone se 2). Those photos are loading one after one every time I wanna view them, it feels like using 90's computer. I still couldt find a way to fix it.

    I think the pixel now has caught up to the iPhone enough that it’s really a personal choice and if you’re too into either eco system. The real reason why I don’t use pixels anymore is the PWM (pulse width modulation) all pixels since the 4 give me insane headaches where as the iPhone doesn’t. Until Google fixes that I’m staying with the iPhone

    I have the 14 pro max ( not much difference between the 14 and 15 imo ) and 8 pro , as always they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Although I’ve been an android boy since 2012 with mostly galaxy notes as my common android phone, for the past 3 years I’ve also joined the dark side , and yeah I have warmed to the big iPhones. Just me but I prefer the iPhone as a carry around, I like the MagSafe and even some of apples apps like notes for example are good to use , the eco system , Apple, updates , apple manages to get updates done all around the world usually in 24 hours , if any android devices even nominate a month they are going to have an update in your doing well, and even then it can be a patchy mess with some countries not getting the updates till days or even weeks later depending on the brand. For happy snaps straight out of the box yeah I think the pixel has a slight edge , but not always . Yesterday I took 4 photos of the underside of my bike which I was modifying with pixel , and the light was poor , I also took 4 photos with my 14 pro max, surprisingly the pixel photos all came out a darkish blurry mess , I took exactly the same care taking the identical photos with my 14 pro max, and the pro max camera took an extra second to adjust the exposure then take the shot. All 4 pics from the iPhone were excellent, all 4 of the pixel pics went in the bin. In the end for general happy snaps on decent light the iPhones and pixels are not bad. Another plus for me on the iPhone is the keyboard , for my biggish mitts , the keyboard on the iPhone seems easier to use , and I think the iphone keyboard also just has a better basic functions. It is a bit luxurious to have 2 galaxy’s a pixel and 2 iPhones if I get board using on or the other 😊, again the 14 pro is my carry around.
