Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “iPhone 14 Pro vs Pixel 7 Pro! No Mistakes!”.
Portion of this video is sponsored by Rhino Shield, so this is a pixel 7 Pro, and this spoiler alert uh is the iPhone 14 pro. Both Pro phones are from some of the biggest companies on Earth and with that much might and money behind them uh. You think this might be one of the hardest comparisons out there, so I’m gon na put these two flagships head to head see which one performs better and, more importantly, I will declare a winner and hopefully help you decide which one you should buy now before I Get to the verses, I’m gon na wager bet that most, you already know which one you’re gon na buy anyway. You’Ve got a preconceived notion of which one is better: you’ve got iOS Legions, you probably already talked about Apple or Google, and probably two-thirds of your tweets, but what if we could get rid of the bias just for a second do. A blind test here are photos. One from the iPhone 14 pro one from the pixel Pro take a look at these shots and I’ll put more photos up here and to see if you can guess, first of all which one’s which, but also think which photos look better to you, don’t get too Far in the Weeds about Shadows or brightness, or anything like that, just look at the photos which one to your eye looks better.
So a is a pixel 7 Pro and B is the iPhone 14 pro? Maybe got it right, maybe didn’t. But the point of this was to show how good both cameras have gotten. I’M like pretty much with every iPhone and pixel. The flagship features always comes down to the camera, at least the past few years, and it’s also where the company is, I think, compete most against each other in recent years, especially since, like last year’s pixel 6., the difference between iPhone photos and pixel photos has become Just a game of preference: it’s not really which camera takes better photos anymore, but which camera takes the photos in a style that you prefer and that’s clearly no different with this year’s phones.
The pixel 7 Pro is sporting, essentially the same Hardware from last year with a few tweaks. I think a lot of people would say: 7. Pro is what the 6 Pro should have been uh. It has a 50 megapixel main camera sensor, 12 megapixel Ultra wide. That is slightly wider at 125 degrees and a 48 megapixel 5x telephoto, which is up from 4X from last year. The iPhone is packing some brand new hardware.
It’S got a 48 megapixel main camera, which is just a gigantic jump from the 12 megapixel. From the past few years, it also has a 12 megapixel Ultra wide with 120 degree field of view, and they, I guess, tried and true now old 12 megapixel three times telephoto spec wise. These are mostly similar with a few key differences uh. The main cameras I think, perform very similarly with both these phones. They are sharp and detailed and produce really very real to life photos, but they do it with different decisions in the processing, and this is where the preference thing comes into place. So the pixel takes HDR like right to Heart. It wants to make sure the Shadows are seen as well as the highlights. The iPhone is clearly not afraid to let the Shadows crush and highlights totally blow out, there’s no right or wrong way here again what you prefer, and if you are looking at this photo individually, I think you’ll likely just love both. So, unsurprisingly, there’s really one big difference in the camera hardware and that’s where you see the biggest difference in the photo results.
Let’S talk about Zoom any way you slice it five times at high resolution is better than three times and low resolution, and in practice I think you really see it here with the pixel. A telephoto camera looks almost the same as the main camera just Zoomed, In which I think, ideally, is what you want from a camera system. The photos are sharp and detailed and are using the really amazing, Google and pixel processing, one of the main Achilles heels of the camera systems.
These days that the main cameras look great, but the ultra wide and the zoom generally do not the pixel 7 Pro absolutely fixes that I think Google should be commended for it. The iPhones zoom, on the other hand, is not bad just really dated it’s the same Basic Hardware they’ve had for years, and it feels that way when looking at these photos, especially when you compare them to the pixel they’re fine. But it’s obvious, you aren’t using the main camera.
Look at these shots right here, one from the iPhone one from the pixel, and when you look at these together, it seems very clearly time that the iPhone gets an updated Zoom where you get the opposite effects. I think I think low light in my use. The iPhone seems to have a big leg up in low light photos or actually we’re doing a shoot for the Hummer EV shout out to that video um. These two photos look drastically different. The pixel has a ton of noise and it seems to be sort of out of phase with the LED wall behind it, whereas the iPhone handles it perfectly exactly what you’d expect from a photo like this now, obviously a small, unique use case, but the photonic engine Of the iPhone doesn’t be putting in sort of work to make sure low light photos, look as good as possible, even though the pixels Nightside feature is incredible. Just regular photos seem to be falling a little bit behind uh. Video is a similar story here. The iPhone is still video king and that’s not to say, Google hasn’t stepped up their game because they have and the pure image quality of the pixel 7 Pro video is great for Apple has just a big link up.
It’S with the refinement stabilization of the sort of specialty features. The iPhone stabilization is, I don’t mean it’s cliche, but it’s butter. It is smooth and fluid. It’S like a slip and slide it’s exactly what you’d expect and what you would want, and when you go into action mode it gets even more so the pixel just seems to not quite be able to get it right.
There are micro, Jitters everywhere, just look here and once you see those it’s really hard to unsee it. It seems like Google and the pixel are trying really hard to make videos smooth, but just aren’t there yet and that’s similar to what you get with the Cinematic mode. Uh, the iPhone isn’t perfect by any means, but it does have a more natural look and a more natural blur.
The pixel can look good, but when it doesn’t, it looks bad with every other part of this camera. As I said, it really just comes down to preference. Do you like the way the pixel process photos? Do you prefer with the iPhone process photos? Your answer will greatly influence which camera you want in your phone, no matter which Camp you’re in when it comes to this versus you’re going to want to protect your phone.
I don’t care what version of Gorilla Glass we are on glass meets, concrete, concrete is always going to win, and this video sponsor Rhino Shield is known for creating super protective and customizable phone cases and accessories. You could do pretty much anything. They got endless, customization options. So you can get your own style out there things like case Styles colors.
They got print designs and a bunch of personalization Services. They also have some really cool design collaborations with um. It’S really well-known Brands.
My favorites NBA get a Lakers case, uh NASA and Naruto. Even PewDiePie is up there as well. Oh that’s fine, but I think protection is what matters you are getting that with Rhino Shields, you’re getting 360 protection with the phone case and screen protector. Of course, they’re all all magsafe compatible actually have some of the most powerful magnets. In any case here, they’re actually two times the strength of Apple’s official magsafe products, so they will stick anywhere and because Black Friday, you know Rhino Shield.

John Dash BF for an extra 10 off. I like to think it stands for best friend, but probably stands for Black Friday. You get that 10 in addition to the Black Friday discounts already on the website. If you want to check, get out that we’ll put a link down below alright camera aside, holding both of these phones in your hands, a pretty similar experience, the 14 pro is the same design we had since really the 12 and the Seven Pro is essentially the Same as the six Pro, I do think that what Google did here with seven Pro Design is really good. The metal camera bar looks amazing. It elevates the design in a really more significant way than I expected. It looks and feels premium, but looks aside. Dynamic island has quickly become a really native part of the iPhone experience.
It’S not something that I’m wowed at on a day-to-day basis and more feels like an extension to the hardware that wasn’t possible before and sort of in that small way, I think Apple hit it out of the park. I really like having it even if the sort of the wow factor is kind of worn off speaking of display. One area that I far prefer on the pixel side is always on display. The pixel, with noise on display should goes black and shows you time.
Notifications. That’S perfect just do that every phone maker, the iPhone, on the other hand, um, takes the always-on display very literally uh. It’S always on just dimmed it killed battery. For me, I couldn’t tell if my phone was on or off I didn’t like it. I actually turned it off and I love always on on every other phone, so that should tell you all. You need to know about how I feel about it as years. Go on processors and high-end phones are getting more and more specialized uh the a16 and the iPhone I think, set out to be the best mobile processor out there and for my specs perspective, it is if there’s anything that you want a phone to do, transfer the Iphone can handle it. Uh pixel, on the other hand, tries to specialize into being the best Google processor, it’s optimized for what Google does best and the second generation. Tensor is accomplishing that really well and what I mean by like what Google does best things like real-time, captions and translation on device to real-time transcription in notes and a lot of others. Those are AI based applications and the tensor G2 is flexing hardcore. Well, Google set out the pixel to do and B more like your personal assistant and in that use case it really works and all of that stuff doesn’t pixels battery life either, which is very surprising. It’S got a beastly 5000 million power battery is a really solid performer and easily gets through a day if, on the other hand, seems to be a downgrade the iPhone 13 Pro just on the battery life side, I can still get through a whole day, but it Does not feel like a battery champ anymore at all, and I had the always-on display turned on battery life was even worse.
The more I tend to like examine these phones, the more I realize they are very similar in almost every category when it comes to picking one you’ve got two main things to consider. First, the phone itself which we talked about throughout the entire video second, is price. Whether you’re willing to pay for those extra features, now you got to the pixel 7 Pro starts to inch out a little bit ahead. 7 Pro starts out at 8.99. There’S a 14 pro is 9.99.
Are those differences worth a hundred dollars for you? They may not be so. I will say if the pixel could get slightly better in video get those micro Jitters worked out and if you don’t have any OS allegiance, that would be the better buy. But I’m somebody who films, video for a living and oftentimes I’m using my phone to film, said videos.
I need the best video that I can get and because of that small minor issue. If both of these are on the table, I’m gon na pick up the 14 pro, but not before. I think about it, a little more than I used to so.
