Interesting..Pixel phones are great..But I thought Huawei phones with huge dxomark scores will come on top, but that wasn't the case.
 
His blind choice data is what I have an issue with. This is not some sociology experiment. Everything HDR does not mean good photo but hey if that's what people pick then the phone that does that better wins. Bunk!

If you compare at the pixel level which resolves better over others should settle the question. These days most phones take good photos and if not there's always manual tweaking available which was not there earlier. The differences are more with video but stills should be good enough for most.

Whether the photo comes out good or not has more to do with who took the photo than what took it. Why is this such a radical idea?

Think about it. You're the brains. The phone is dumb but with the mobile crowd, they invert that equation.
 
Just yeaterday I saw one surprising camera comparison between Pixel 6, iphone and xiaomi 11t. Iphone on top while pixel and 11t were almost similar.

Yes paid videos and "believe me bro" or "iphone rich android poor" videos are dime a dozen...but mkbhd blind test is only one in the industry and this year he has taken it up a notch

90% or more realistically 99% of people take pics today to "show off," and if people perceive some picture as the best picture, that is all that matters (for them)....doesn't matter if it is actually a "good photo"...at least for those 90% or 99% who are taking it to show it off to others

Same way as a "beautiful looking person" has no meaning outside of how society perceives beauty as...

Again all this is for those people who want to take pictures to show to others

Nothing was paid here it was some photography website and results were side-side. Today morning only cleared edge browser history else would have shared the link.
And hate it or not you cant take it from iphone in terms of photography even if android climbs that 1000 mp ladder..

A good photo is one that makes you look at it a bit longer. There is an incredible amount of creativity that comes into it. If you have seen the pro tog cheap camera series on YT you will know what I mean. The very antithesis of this video

Isn't that what galleries are for? ones you pay to enter and see some artist's work. Its always been about that.

yes I meant the way I use it is a bit different ...I am not on social media and the reason I take pictures is for us to go through them years later and revisit the memories...kinda like the old reel days where photos are very private and cherished memories
 
MY mom takes really nice photos , i wanted to upgrade her phone from Oneplus 5 to something new.. I am eyeing on Pixel 7 , or should i go with some other phones ? Pixel 6a is also in my list , but battery charging , overheat issues makes me go for pixel 7. Any other phone with better camera ? Dont suggest iphone lineup..
