iPhone 18 Pro Max vs Pixel 11 Pro XL: Sample Photos Comparison

I have looked at the iPhone 18 pro max vs Samsung s26 Ultra as well as the Pixel 11 pro XL photo comparisons. (currently Pixel 9 owner). Without bias the Samsung S26 Ultra is the clear winner in the zoom category, look at the photo with the ship. As far as night shots the Pixel and iPhone trade blows, Samsung needs to work on the night photography more. Daytime pictures...all the phones take great photos, although personally I don't like that orange tint that the iPhone adds, you can adjust that in the camera settings. Either way it comes down to what your priorities are, with the exception of zoom photos (Samsung), we are splitting hairs.

Of course the Chinese phone makers currently blow all three of them away, they all are behind.

Google did the right move by adding a larger sensor, the Pixel wins hands down on most photos, and in some cases its not even close, especially in the zoom situations, also way sharper and more detailed. Have to give props to them once again they nailed the photography part of the camera.

The iphone is completely outclassed here. Pixel shots are 👌

Iphone has serious problem with the colors. Look the rewiewers t-shirt. Sometimes it's antracit black, sometimes dark blue, sometimes medium blue....and the yellow hue is there on almost every photo. The "tech rewiewers" call it warmer colors, dispite the photos are looking like somebody has ..ssed on them...and chinese producers are copying it. Pathethic.

I prefer the Pixel. I love their color science, and their night time shots are brighter. Zoom is also better, so well done Google!

Of course Pixel beats iPhone hands down, I don't know what pixel does but they are good at making one feel happy with their camera

Can we have the show down on video pls 🙏🏽, thank you

Just to put a pin in it. DXOMARK ranked the Iphone Pro Max and the Pixel 11 Pro XL equal scores of 171 so his photo argument is moot. The Iphone as always takes the lead in video quality but not in photo quality.

I keep my work mandated iPhone in the drawer as much as possible because the keyboard is that bad.

correct and notice how he stopped talking. Agreeed.

It unfortunately seems like Apple is trying soo hard to make a comeback in the photo area and is failing at it.

Personally, I think that they need to use the same sensor behind each lens to make quality more consistent.
