the pixel to excel the Galaxy Note 8 this one has two cameras this just one but does one out to do two or two out to do one my journey comparing these pocket photography Wizards took me across land and sea and proved both phones were skillful enough to capture the world around me my quest started at the Ferry Building in San Francisco home to skateboarders Gandhi and pornographic ice cream both phones took appealing pictures but for different reasons photos taken with the no date had boosted contrast and saturation mimicking a frame of film from a dramatic movie pictures of the pixel to excel had a pure cut Akal pity with expertly rendered detail and highlights this photo taken with a note eights telephoto lens shows off the beautiful oranges and yellows of a sunset behind the Golden Gate Bridge the pixel to excels standard angle lens rendered the same scene with cooler tones and more detail in the waves I headed back to land for some games and to test out portrait mode which gives photos and artistic blurry background on the note aid it's called live focus the pixel to excel portraits had better detail and better focus fall off from people's heads to the background note eight portraits with warmer and rendered a more pleasing blurry background whether on a boat or a cable car or just taking pictures of pets the note eights two times optical zoom allowed me to get closer to my subject without diminishing image quality the pixel to excels single rear camera only has digital zoom which can produce softer looking images with more color noise then there's video the note eights video stabilization is could but the pixel to excels fusion stabilization is the best I've seen on any phone yeah go ahead and film your best Goodfellas Steadicam shot imitation video image quality from both phones was good but a bit of a letdown compared to how nice photos are especially video shot in low-light the note 8 and pixel to excel are capable of jaw-dropping 240 frames per second slow motion unfortunately it's at a not quite so jaw-dropping 720p resolution however the pixel to excel can shoot 120 frames per second at 1080p producing dramatic slow motion without sacrificing resolution also worth mentioning the no take can record time lapses and has built in snapchat like stickers the pixel to excels front-facing camera lets you take portrait mode photos and they look amazing look trying to determine which phone has the best camera is complicated if you like to zoom and want a gorgeous display to view your photos the no data is the way to go if you want the best pictures the steadiest video an excellent portrait mode selfies go for the pixel to excel
