Who has the best smartphone camera? In the blind test, Google and Co. compete against each other. The result speaks for the Pixel phones. This is certainly an exciting point that is massively discussed every year.
Which smartphone manufacturer can offer the device with the best camera? In fact, the differences today are only marginal and they lie in the detail. One device has the better zoom, another smartphone makes better portraits, and some phones rotate the best videos.
In the past few days, a blind test has been carried out on our colleagues. The current squad of flagships from Apple, Google, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo and OnePlus had to compete against each other. In the blind test, you evaluate what you get to see without knowing the origin. So you decide according to your own feelings and are rather unbiased.
The underdog remains in his role
Curiously, the said blind test reveals what I have already thought in part. For example, the last place for the OnePlus 10 Pro. Although the smartphone with a second-generation Hasselblad camera delivers reasonable shots, it is often not strong enough in its performance. Whereas I am always taken with the Pixel 6 phones.
Google Pixel 6: Photos we like when we look at them
A very crucial point is that the Pixel smartphones have always captured and reproduced the current mood very well not only since the latest generation. They may not show the highest details, have the best zoom and the ultra-wide-angle would certainly be of higher quality. But the created mood, the colors, the play of light and shadow, Google has been almost unbeatable in my eyes for years.
From a total of 8577 votes cast, Nextpit’s colleagues determined the following order:
- Google Pixel 6 Pro with 45 points
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with 42 points
- Apple iPhone 13 Pro with 41 points
- Oppo Find X5 Pro with 38 points
- Xiaomi 12 Pro with 33 points
- OnePlus 10 Pro with 29 points
Coincidence or not, there was also a blind test at Computerbase. With the same smartphones. In addition, the Huawei P50 Pro was there. In the end, however, the result is the same, the Google Pixel 6 Pro wins the blind test ahead of the almost always much more expensive competition. In this case, even with almost 16,000 votes cast.
