The highlight detail in the sign and the shadow detail in the facade of the building and the statue of the lion are also far better in the shot taken on the Pixel 2. The same differences can be seen in the shot of Hotel de la Paix.
But if you look closely at the illuminated signs on the buildings in the background, “La Mobiliere” and “LGT Bank” are blown out and illegible in the shots taken on the S9 they are far more legible on the shot taken on the Pixel 2. Yes, Vlad is right, at first glance there are few obvious differences between the two cameras apart from the color balance. Take the shot of the sick Lambo for instance. The images taken on the Pixel 2 XL have much better shadow and highlight detail across the board. The S9’s automatic color balance for these night shots is very impressive across the board, especially on those photos taken inside (the shot of the hotel lobby interior is particularly good). Here is a selection of examples (which include daytime and indoor photography, too) to illustrate my findings from shooting with the two phones.Ī second opinion from Verge Creative Director James Bareham You can find the unprocessed, full-resolution Galaxy S9 Plus sample photos in this Flickr album, and the Pixel 2 XL shots in this one. It’s worth acknowledging that the S9 Plus also has a second telephoto lens and a super slow-motion mode that the Pixel lacks - both situationally useful features, which would figure in a more comprehensive camera comparison, but here I’m only interested in the single-camera still photo performance. While in Geneva for the Motor Show, I went out for a late-night walk with the Galaxy S9 Plus and the Pixel 2 XL and took a bunch of side-by-side photos. The only solution to this uncertainty, of course, was to put the two cameras to the test. The Pixel achieves superlative results through clever image stacking and processing algorithms rather than pure hardware might. Except, well, there’s Google’s Pixel 2, which has taken over the mantle from the original Pixel as the best all-around camera on a phone.
Having the widest aperture means being able to soak up the most light, so, in theory at least, the Galaxy S9 should be the best cameraphone for situations where light is at a premium. What I really wanted to know about this change is how it might improve Samsung’s low-light imaging. But set aside all the hype about it being part of a dual-aperture system. Samsung’s 2018 flagship phone, the Galaxy S9, is the first in the world with an f/1.5 lens aperture.
