TLDR: Pixel is sharper and more accurate, iPhone renders much better colours and contrasts.
It feels more like a cointoss these days which phone can make the better picture.
In the end all flagships are more or less good enough for almost every user.
Tl;dr: pixel “won” out by a small margin. In almost all cases it produced an unnaturally processed image. It was not hard to guess which was pixel vs iPhone. They must’ve really tested blind people.
Boohoo. Blind test of 5 photos with a 3-2 margin which could go in a completely different way if repeated with a different set of audience or even the same set of audience at a different time. These comparison are pointless.
In reality both are two great devices and if someone sees either of the pics independently, they’ll barely have anything to complain about. We’ll compare if were forced to compare.
Also, who the hell calls it “iDevice” of all things.
