Both the skeleton in the background and the foreground are blurrier in this photo than they are in the first Halloween scene. I think the Tensor's faster night shot processing paid off here, as the iPhone 14 photo is a lot blurrier than the Pixel 7's shot. The Pixel 7 fares slightly better, as you can tell I'm wearing a green shirt and hat in that photo those colors are a bit darker in the iPhone 14's effort. And the results were a bit scary, with cameras unable to keep my face out of the shadows. I wanted to see how the cameras fared when a person enters the low-light frame, so I added a more horrifying detail to the Halloween tableau - me. iPhone 14 cameras: Outdoor, night with person ![]() Winner: Google Pixel 7 Google Pixel 7 vs. It's a more natural-looking shot than what the iPhone 14 produces, where the ambient lighting feels a little unnatural. While the iPhone 14 photo is certainly brighter, the Pixel 7 does a better job maintaining the shadows while also keeping the Halloween decorations in sharp detail. One again, the shots are evenly matched and come down to personal preference. That wasn't a problem in this instnce, but it should give Google's phone an edge in taking low-light images. When I took a photo of this Halloween scene, the Pixel 7 was a second faster than the iPhone 14, which, in theory, should make the Pixel photo less prone to include any blurs. One of the changes Google touts is faster processing of Night Sight images, so you don't have to hold your phone steady for as long while the photo software brightens up the shot. When the lights go out, we get to see what impact the Pixel 7's Tensor chip has on photos. It's a close call, but I still think the iPhone 14 shot looks slightly more shareable. I think that warmth extends to the food itself, making the dish look a lot more homey in the iPhone 14 image, though I appreciate that the Pixel 7 also kept details like the flecks of parsley and the chunk of tomato in sharp contrast. The glare seems a little more subdued in the iPhone 14 photo, thanks to the warmer color cast in Apple's effort. A bowl of chicken cacciatore over some leftover farfalle looks appetizing in both photos, despite some sunlight streaming in from a window on the right adding glare to both shots. The temperature contrast continues even when we move inside. The green plants around the statue are brighter, too, so I think this is an instance where the Photonic Engine did its job. Check out that flower in front of the bear - it's dull enough in the Pixel shot to almost blend in with the statue. The Pixel 7 image looks fine, but cool, and that has the effect of muting some of the colors. We see the same thing in this wood carving of a bear, which I took roughly at the same time as the geranium photo. The Photonic Engine looks to enhance photos taken in mid- to low light - I captured this shot in the evening, while the sun was still out but setting - and it may have gotten over-aggressive hyping up the green in this case. I think that's the doing of the Photonic Engine, a computational photography feature that Apple added to the iPhone 14 lineup. If you want to find fault with the iPhone 14's shot, you could point those green leaves, which look a little oversaturated. The Pixel 7 shot is too cool for my tastes, and I think the blue-ish doesn't accurately showcase the colors on the flower petals. In this close-up of some geraniums shot with the main camera on each device, I happen to prefer the iPhone 14's warmer, brighter approach. iPhone 14 photos will come down to which color cast you prefer. ![]() iPhone 14 cameras: Outdoor, flowersĪ lot of Google Pixel 7 vs. The big story with the iPhone 14's front camera is the addition of autofocus, plus a wider aperture to let in more light. The iPhone 14 still relies on a 12MP sensor, though you can zoom in for a 7MP crop. The Pixel 7 uses a 10.8MP sensor with a wider area of view than before at 92.8 degrees. The iPhone 14's main camera also has a wider aperture than before at f/1.5, while the 12MP ultrawide shooter offers an f/2.4 aperture.Īs noted above, both phones feature revamped front cameras. The iPhone 14's main camera sensor doesn't pack in as many megapixels - it's rated for 12MP - but Apple did increase the size from the sensor on the iPhone 13. The 12MP ultrawide lens has an f/2.2 aperture. In the case of the Pixel 7, that main camera is a 50MP sensor with an aperture of f/1.85. While you won't get a telephoto lens with either phone, you will get a dual rear-camera setup, with both the Pixel and the iPhone offering wide and ultrawide angle lenses. 50MP, 1.2 μm pixel width, f/1.85 aperture
