alt Hacker NewsI have a Pixel 8 pro, last year I went to NYC with a friend who had an iPhone.
We went to some of the museums and as we were taking pics, the difference in color accuracy were dismal.
The Google phone was much, much, worse. I think google used to be known for their good photography and I was very happy with my earlier pixel 6. But something happened.
I'm sorry to say, but when it comes to photos and videos I think the iphone is now much better than the pixel phones.
Not only that but theres a lot of things that are easier to do when you're inside the apple ecosystem. Particularly in countries with high iphone usage.
I think Google has dropped the ball hard, and yeah, people working in android use iphones, people working in the google watch use apple watch.

Interesting, I also have a pixel 8 pro, and my photos often look better to me than my friend's iPhone. Not sure what phone he has though, it might be an older one (though P8Pro isn't exactly bleeding edge anymore either).
I have recently upgraded to an iPhone 17 Pro Max from iPhone X (yes, I buy once a decade or so), and I also take photos with a A7-III.
The latest iPhone takes shockingly good photos. It's not a full frame mirrorless by any stretch, but it's really in another league when it comes to mobile photography.
