Google Pixel 8 Pro Review: Performance and Camera Test vs iPhone 15 Pro Max
Introduction
Welcome to the comprehensive review of the Google Pixel 8 Pro! In this article, we’ll delve into the critical aspects of this flagship device, focusing on its performance, camera capabilities, and how it stacks up against the formidable iPhone 15 Pro Max.
If you’re joining us for the first time, I’m Ershad, and you’re tuned in to Trakin Tech English, your go-to destination for in-depth gadget reviews.
Performance Review
Let’s kick things off by addressing one of the major concerns – the performance of the Pixel 8 Pro. Before we dive into benchmark results, it’s worth noting that Google has opted to offer only the 12/128GB variant in India. The storage read/write speeds, unfortunately, fall short, with UFS 3.1 scoring lower than some competitors.
Moving on to the Tensor G3 SoC with the Immortalis G715s GPU, based on Samsung’s 4nm node, the Pixel 8 Pro faces thermal challenges. Benchmarks, including AnTuTu and Geekbench, reveal performance slightly below expectations. The CPU experiences noticeable throttling, affecting stability scores. Despite efforts to cool the chip with a graphite sheet, thermal efficiency remains a concern.
AI-driven features are Google’s forte, but raw performance might not meet expectations. The GPU fares better, displaying more stability in 3DMark WLST. Gaming, exemplified by Genshin Impact, highlights reasonable performance, albeit with increased device temperature.
While the Pixel’s AI features may appeal to its core audience, performance enthusiasts might find the current capabilities lacking, especially given the phone’s premium price tag.
New Camera Features
Google consistently introduces software-based enhancements, and the Pixel 8 Pro is no exception. Notable additions include Quick Take, Magic Editor (an upgraded version of Magic Eraser), and a powerful Audio Eraser for videos. These features demonstrate the phone’s reliance on AI-driven innovations, promising users unique and creative possibilities.
Camera Test vs iPhone 15 Pro Max
Now, the moment many have been waiting for – the camera comparison between the Pixel 8 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. We won’t delve into specifications; instead, let’s explore the real-world performance.
In various scenarios, both phones showcase impressive capabilities. The Pixel 8 Pro captures remarkable detail at 12MP, while the iPhone, at 24MP default, offers high-resolution images. Color reproduction is accurate on both, with nuanced differences in approach. The Pixel’s Ultra HDR images impress, particularly in capturing shadow details without compromising on noise correction.
Moving through portraits, low light, and ultrawide shots, each phone has its strengths. The Pixel excels in low light, offering superior noise control and exposure. The ultrawide sensor on the Pixel stands out with increased detail and better HDR performance.
Zoom performance reveals a balance between the phones, with the iPhone excelling in longer zoom ranges. Selfies, HDR selfies, and selfie portraits showcase both phones’ prowess, with slight nuances in color accuracy.
In video recording, the iPhone takes the lead with features like Cinematic Mode and Action Mode, offering superior dynamic range and sound quality. While the Pixel has made strides in low-light video performance, the iPhone still maintains an edge.
Conclusion
Concluding the Pixel 8 Pro review, it’s evident that Google has made significant strides in camera performance. Pixel enthusiasts will find much to love, especially in low-light scenarios and AI-powered features. However, in the broader context of video recording and certain photographic scenarios, the iPhone 15 Pro Max emerges as the winner.
Beyond the camera realm, questions arise about the Pixel’s potential market penetration, particularly in regions like India and Europe. Priced competitively, with a focus on resolving performance concerns, the Pixel 8 Pro could appeal to a wider audience.
As we await further evaluations on battery life and additional software features, the Pixel 8 Pro presents itself as a compelling choice for those who prioritize a unique camera experience paired with AI innovation.
