Last year when Google unveiled the Pixel phones, they were keen to point out that it topped DxOMark’s benchmarks. This year was no exception.
DxOmark is a photography benchmarking site that ranks different smartphones depending on how well they perform in different categories.
Only a few days ago, DxOMark jointly rated the Galaxy Note 8 by Samsung and Apple’s iPhone 8 Plus as the best smartphone cameras in the market, only for Google to take the crown with the Pixel 2 phones.
As the benchmark ranks both photography and video together, the overall score doesn’t tell you the whole story.
Photo Comparison
The overall score for photos only was 99 for Pixel 2 and 100 for the Galaxy Note 8 which puts it slightly behind the Samsung flagship. iPhone 8 Plus meanwhile got 96 points.
The Pixel is better at handling exposure and contrast. It also produces better and more accurate colors and has a faster autofocus with lesser missed shots. Noise is unfortunately not handled well and the lack of a dual camera also hurts its zoom quality.
Video Comparison
On the video front Pixel 2 dominated the Note 8 and iPhone 8 Plus with a score of 96 (Note 8 scored 84 while iPhone 8 Plus scored 89 points).
Again the Pixel 2 beat the iPhone and Note 8 in exposure and contrast category as well as autofocus, texture and video stabilization. For an odd reason, Pixel 2 is better at handling noise and artifacts in videos than in still images.
It loses out to both the Note 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in color reproduction however.

Best of The Best Out There
Even though the Pixel 2’s camera is rated as the best out there, the difference between Pixel 2, iPhone 8 Plus and Note 8’s cameras is marginal. While it is true that you should ideally pick a phone based on your own shooting habits (especially if you are a photography-buff) all of these phone cameras would make their owner happy.
Ultimately, for most people the final purchase preference would lie more on other factors such as the OS and price.
I Phone Ka Bhi Koi Camera Hai (Shiit Camrea) Samsung & Pixel is Much Better than Apple
iphone ( 7 and onward) no doubt has best camera. compare it by self. But Note 8 wins. I like its optical zoom.
Arey Abdul Wahab sahab ap kahan iPhone k chakron mein parh rahe ho, iPhone ko ap us k users k liye chorh den ap apna Lumia enjoy karen ?
Bhai Bill Gates Ne Keh Diya hai : Bohat Jald Windows Ki Supporting Tamam Phone Pe Khatam Kar dega : Hum Lumia Wale Phir Kiya Chalayege
Lumia wale phir bas haath chalayen ge ?
haahhahaha
yeh banda hy hi is qabil haat chalanay k baad bhi us pr bhi comments day ga
iPhone ka result sirf iphone k andar hi acha lagta hy..!
All the companies are fooling people.Apple iphone 8 costs less than $300 to made and guess what they are charging a hefty premium from consumers
Manufacturing cost alag cheez hai us mein baqi expenses shamil nhn hote jaise k R&D , Marketing etc, aur Apple aur Samsung apni R&D aur Marketing pe jitna paisa kharch karte hain utne mein to poori Chinese company khareedi ja sakti hai
Does DxOMark comparing optical zoom?
How you can only relay on DxOMark. compare real photos. Hope you don’t have none of these sets. so just copy past article.
If you would have gone through the comments of the original article there are some serious observations regarding changed testing protocols and wordiness in comparing phones rather objectivity. Just a copy-paste, but thanks that you at least referred us to the source enabling us making our own comparisons and I say Note 8 is generally better than others..
