Google Pixel: The New Smartphone Camera King?

2016-10-23
hey guys what's going on Ron carita here from TechnoBuffalo and today we're going to be doing a quick camera test and look at the new Google pixel phone it got the highest DxO rating as Google was touting very proudly their keynote and so we're gonna be testing that seeing if it lives up to all the hype and briefly take a look at how it stacks up against some of the competition let's go ahead an get started so firstly specs on the back we're rocking a 12 megapixel F 2.0 camera using phase detection and laser autofocus it also is a dual LED dual tone flash it's a one by two point three inch sensor and has a one point five five micron pixel size and if you're wondering that is a slightly larger pixel size than some of its competitors like the Samsung Galaxy s7 in terms of camera UI it's pretty much what we've come to expect from previous Nexus phone so nothing too crazy here it's very simple and it works when looking at actual image quality the pixel does a really really good job with sharpness and resolution not just resolution in the sense of over sharpening but actually keeping detail and things like trees and leaves it makes you feel confident that if you need to crop in a little bit every now and then to Reese or to frame a photo you can get away with it pretty easily when doing side-by-side comparisons with the Samsung Galaxy s7 in the iPhone 7 it's not a head and shoulders above but I can see why some people believe it is a sharper camera the pixel also performed very well in low-light with low noise and good high detail given the extreme lighting conditions so many factors go into creating a good image it's really hard to say but I'm gonna guess this has something to do with the 1.5 5 micron pixels which are slightly bigger than the Samsung as far as we know quickly moving on to video we get great 30 frames per second 4k video here everything looks really good as can be expected from most phones nowadays we did notice some artifacting and very very extreme situations with patterns and moire which is to be expected one of my favorite features however is the 120 frames per second that you can get in 1080p we don't even get this in some full DSLR cameras or cinema cameras so to have this in a cell phone is a really fun awesome feature and everything obviously is much cooler in slow motion so that pixel peeping those are really my first impressions on the pixels camera and kind of how it stacks up roughly against something like the iPhone or s7 I mainly did it so you guys could get full images to compare yourself so please click the link down below please go ahead and form your own opinions I'm very curious to hear them so leave them in the comment down below I really don't have a preference as usual I think most phone cameras nowadays are so good that you can sort of pick them apart but on a level that doesn't really affect the majority of us in day-to-day usage but let me know again what you think in the comments down below give us a thumbs up if you like this video hit subscribe and I'll see you in the next one thanks for watching
