Pixel 3 XL faces the P20 Pro against iPhone XS and Galaxy Note 9

The light off, or at least our star, note the big challenges. When first capturing in a nocturnal environment with remote details Note 9 and iPhone XS must make room for the real kings of the night. As you can see on the face, the noise level in both images is excellent and we only give the third position to the iPhone for the best sharpness. The P20 Pro repeats the optimal performance in this type of scenario, as we saw in the previous comparison. Well above the competitors for the richness in detail and the sharpness of the image, such as they appear in the asphalt and even in the right palm tree.

We see in the star that the Huawei gradient effect is not as smooth as in Pixel. but it is a detail that does not disturb the whole, in fact, it has treated the light well without bursting. How about letting Samsung and Apple devices enter an indoor environment with soft lighting and turn on the flash against the Huawei and Huawei models' night mode.

Google? Well, that's what we did. The note 9 is omitted by showing that the flash is more bulky than it helps, a software incorrectly set to calculate the light diffusion time for image capture not only makes it possible to clear the scene, but also causes red eyes. 19659002] Looking at the flowers on the table and the hand of the model, we see that the pixel is much happier in the work as a whole, despite the quite high saturation. And we'll come back and talk about it later. But the seal goes to Google here too.

Why not see the flash come out in an even more complicated scenario? Well, note 9 was a little happier here than the iPhone XS, but it still had an image with bright, lifeless red eyes in the background. Now, on the weight side, we have the Pixel 3 XL that makes the most of the P20 Pro with a balance of contrast and sharpness. Look at the palm tree resting with the floor lamp. And if we expand the face of the model, we perceive this well-known "embellishment" effect common to Asian brand devices. Then we give another label for the Pixel 3 XL

OK. Leaving aside the flash, which until now has turned out to be virtually useless, and let's see how the cameras go off in a scene with shadow, light and details in the distance. In approaching the model's face, we notice what we had said in the previous image, Apple and Google stand out for the fidelity and sharpness of the image, while Samsung and Huawei are trying to help nature with a controversial effect.

Note the eyebrows, the nose, the lips. and even the grbad in the background. Of course, the iPhone XS generates more noise, but if you look for details in the distance, it will try to show the three poles above the model's head, as well as the sports field grid in the distance. But to be fair, the iPhone XS remains last with Note 9 and P20 ratings, even the Samsung model does not rely on a night mode.

I'd like to go back to the saturation that seduces one and disturbs others, It took a long time to divide this between the preference for the catches of an iPhone versus a Galaxy, while Samsung is betting on artificially boosted colors while Apple wins loyalty.

Well, in this case, the Pixel 3 XL is for Note 9 just as the P20 Pro is for iPhone XS. Since I decided to do a quick test and edit the pixel image to reduce saturation a bit, and see it. It should be noted that I am not a Photoshop expert. What do I want to show with that? What saturation, what contrast and other small details you can adjust to your liking in a touch-up application, but you will not be able to search for details that have been blurred by some camera software.

We also have a portrait capture to confirm what I just said, in addition to showing the capabilities of each camera to isolate the background.

This capture, although seeking to present details, such as the shadow of the eyelashes of the left eye of the model, the iPhone XS is lost by applying the blur also on the buckle. ear and necklace. Even the top of the hair looks a bit out of the plane of the face. Note 9, P20 Pro and Pixel 3 XL had good images, each with its own particularity, such as Samsung operating various shots while blurring the model's elbow a little further forward than the face.

Huawei applies. an effect I do not know how much it would please everyone, since it darkens a little background, however, its objectives can capture much more of the scene even by applying the portrait mode. Google missed a little hair under the elbow, but offers a level of detail and clarity unmatched. For very little, we give another seal for the Pixel 3 XL. And before you find it unfair, looking at the small flaw of the blur, I come back to talk about it later, giving the justification.

Of course, the front camera test could not be left out. We also started capturing in portrait mode.

Despite the good blur, the iPhone XS suffers from noises and difficulty operating in low ambient light. The note 9 presents a vivid image, thanks to the saturation of always, but also to the effect called wax doll. The Pixel 3 XL applies a good portrait effect, with its usual sharpness and saturation.

The P20 Pro bears the seal here because it presents the clearest photo with a good blur effect although it is very soft. You can force something more aggressive by activating the artistic boket option, even if it is very erratic, in addition to the 3D mode, which mimics what the iPhone X had already done, allowing for example to 39, eliminate all the background.

communal selfie, in the dark, with the moon and palms as coadjuvantes. And with the level of sharpness displayed by Google's camera, the Pixel 3 XL still bears an imprint. Note that the wax doll effect is present in Asian smartphones, the P20 Pro coming in second place, only for its sharpness and the few details that show the most compared to the 9.

L & # IPhone XS is once again out of the scrum because of the excessive noise, leaving the score 9 in third place.

Very good. What do you notice in all the catches? The four smartphones have good sets of lenses for good photos, leaving behind all the difference, which ends up being the highlight of Google and its Pixel 3 XL which, it should be noted, exceeds the competitors with a single sensor , different from the Note 9 and the iPhone XS with dual system and the P20 Pro with three lenses on the back.

Huawei shows that he is able to process images with rich details in night mode when the landscape is far away, but the same recipe unfortunately. it is not repeated in other situations. Anyway, neither Google nor Huawei officially sell their smartphones in Brazil, we even had a promise of the Chinese brand, but this has not yet occurred, perhaps in 2019. [19659002] For those who are not likely to buy imported products and want to have the best For the night photos, the Galaxy Note 9 is a little better than the iPhone XS, because despite the fact that it has a puppet wax effect and less detail, it compensates for a lower noise level and a very important detail, costing half as much as its competitor Apple. .

Of course, this was our badessment, and as many consider the image quality with less or more detail and saturation, among other details, as something subjective, you are welcome to compare the images and to give your opinion on what you think of the camera. each smartphone.
