When the iPhone 13 Pro launched earlier this fall, we said it had the “best camera” in a smartphone. But a few weeks later, Google’s Pixel 6 Pro, with its 50-megapixel sensor that is hard-coded to produce 12.5-megapixel images, was finally released, proving a worthy competitor for the iPhone 13 Pro’s 12-megapixel camera. To settle the score I took 1,000 photos with each device and realized using these cameras was about far more than their end products. iPhone 13 Pro gallery: https://adobe.ly/3mFzayJ Pixel 6 Pro gallery: https://adobe.ly/3qscBzQ 00:00 Intro 00:31 Camera Specs 01:09 Telephoto lenses 02:20 Ultra-wide lenses 04:05 Main lens 05:58 Hardware + Software 09:09 Google's Real Tone Feature 10:20 Video 11:46 Poll Results 12:49 Conclusion Subscribe: http://goo.gl/G5RXGs​ Like The Verge on Facebook: https://goo.gl/2P1aGc​ Follow on Twitter: https://goo.gl/XTWX61​ Follow on Instagram: https://goo.gl/7ZeLvX​ The Vergecast Podcast: http://apple.co/3kH4uup Decoder with Nilay Pate‪l‬: http://apple.co/3v29nDc More about our podcasts: https://www.theverge.com/podcasts​ Read More: http://www.theverge.com​ Community guidelines: http://bit.ly/2D0hlAv​ Wallpapers from The Verge: https://bit.ly/2xQXYJr​ Subscribe to Verge Science on YouTube, a new home base for our explorations into the future of science: http://bit.ly/2FqJZMl

The new high end iPhones are faster, sharper, and last longer than any previous models. But one photo-taking flaw feels like it crashes the party.
