One of my trademark pieces of content on this site over the past few years have been photo comparisons, usually stacking up the latest iPhone to the latest Pixel phone. I have an iPhone 12 Pro in hand, but I have not done any photo comparisons with it, nor do
Google unveiled the Pixel 5 today (9to5Google has a good roundup), and nothing makes the Pixel 4 looks worse than seeing how few of the things Google said they were excited about last year being straight up gone this year. * All that face sensor tech? Gone. * That radar sensor that
What the hell is Google’s vision for the Pixel? The Pixel is supposed to be the quintessential Android phone. It is Google’s vision for what anAndroid phone is, and even though the phones have never sold particularly well compared to Apple or Samsung, they are important phones because
The Pixel 4a is coming out soon and it looks like a great phone. Much like last year's 3a, this is a lower powered phone, but with Google's clean version of Android and a killer camera. If you want a sub-$500 Android phone, I find
Google unveiled the Pixel 4a yesterday, their successor to last year's budget-phone champ, the Pixel 3a. I happened to like that phone very much, and had this to say about it at the time: I think that the Pixel 3a has immediately made it hard for me to
Sometimes people suggest you can just pinch-to-zoom and get basically the same result with smartphone cameras. I very much disagree, and used this shot to see the difference. I'm standing a ways away from the mailbox and tapped to focus on it in all of these shots. Here&
This photo comparison was really interesting to me. I shared a portrait taken from the iPhone 11 Pro and Pixel 4 and asked people which they preferred. Opinions were split, to say the least. Here are the photos for your viewing pleasure: I personally think the iPhone shot is way
One thing I've noticed in the last few months using the Pixel 4 and iPhone 11 Pro day-to-day is that photos off the iPhone's telephoto lens tend to be better quality. The Pixel 4 is no slouch, but side by side, the iPhone tends to do
Psst, the above photo has nothing to do with the comparison, but I had to share a picture of Sherman shortly before the comparison photos were taken. My dog Sherman was chilling on the couch last night and I wanted to take a picture of him just lying there, loving
I recently wrote about how damn good the iPhone 11 cameras are, and it only felt right to also mention the a Pixel 4 also holds its own. We live in wonderful times: the cameras in our pockets are better than ever before.
I hate my pixel 4 for one reason and one reason only : reddit BANKING APPS FACIAL RECOGNITION DOESN'T WORK. My most important apps are now a pain in the ass to use because I have to physically log in. I can attest to this too. We’re over
We have a little tree my wife and I put up every year and it’s a thing that is kinda hard to take good pictures of. There is quite a bit of dynamic range which typically means photos look overly darkened to compensate for the bright lights. 2019 has

I took the iPhone 11 Pro and Pixel 4 out to a public space last night that was lit up really nicely for the holidays. This is not a complete comparison for how well each phone does, but it’s a good first test and I’ll show you the
I read this sequence from a recent blog post on this site and had the just released Dictation for iOS and Recorder for Pixel 4 listening at the same time. Here are the exact words I read: It’s the end of the decade and I love lists, so today
