Google Pixel Pro 6 Camera Samples
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu01Google Pixel 6, main camera. The perfect fall photo. The Pixel 6's main camera delivers a sharp pumpkin and basks the whole patch in this wonderful golden yellow, while maintaining the moody sky and vibrant colors. - Photograph: Julian Chokkattu02iPhone 13 Pro Max, main camera. The iPhone's version is just as sharp and wonderful, though colors aren't as saturated (which you might prefer). I also took a similar photo with Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra (not pictured), and it's significantly different for the worse. It's not as saturated, all the contrast has been sapped away with over-brightening, and it's just not as moody.

This camera mode takes multiple images at the same time at different exposures and stitches them together for a sharper low-light photo. The fur on my dog's face is tack sharp despite how dark the scene really was, and there's a nice, natural bokeh effect around him.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu04Google Pixel 6 Pro, main camera with Night Sight. I love this shot because it maintains all the colors from the outdoor taco shop and manages to provide enough detail in the skyline.
- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu05iPhone 13 Pro Max, main camera with Night mode. I'm not sure why but the iPhone shot added this blue hue to the top of the canopies (it wasn't there in real life). It also shrouds the skyline in complete darkness, and overall the tone is not as warm as it should've been.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu06Google Pixel 6 Pro, main camera with Motion mode. This is a new mode on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that spins out into two others: Action Pan and Long Exposure. This is an example of the latter, where you can have the camera simulate the effect of opening the shutter for a few seconds. It works best in daylight, but can still deliver fun results like this at night.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu07Google Pixel 6 Pro, main camera with Motion mode. This is an example of Action Pan in the new Motion mode. This one *really* works best with lots of light, but you get the idea. It simulates the effect of seeing the subject *move*, adding motion blur around. It's great for when you want to show off a train speeding past, or a cyclist.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu08Google Pixel 6 Pro, 4x zoom camera with Night Sight. I love the warm color tones the Pixel picked up here, though it's perhaps a tad oversaturated than it really was. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is all the twinkly lights. Streetlights seem to flare up a bit on these phones.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu09iPhone 13 Pro Max, 3x zoom camera with Night mode. I'd like to tell you that this photo is more technically accurate but it's not. The skyline wasn't nearly as dark as the iPhone implies, and it was a bit more colorful too (though maybe not as much as the Pixel's image). It's slightly less detailed too.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu10Google Pixel 6, ultrawide camera. The 12-megapixel ultrawide is great for taking in landscape scenes, and here the Pixel managed to keep the sky and forest well-exposed. The colors are spot-on, too.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu11iPhone 13 Pro Max, ultrawide camera. The iPhone's shot of the same scene is quite different. The sky is completely blown out, and the trees are a bit more muted. There's a lot of contrast missing too because the forest has been brightened up.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu12Google Pixel 6, Portrait mode. This shot does a decent job with the blur effect around me, but what works here is the exposure. The sky isn't overexposed and my skin tone is accurate and not underexposed.
- Photograph: Julian Chokkattu13iPhone 13 Pro Max, Portrait mode. I'm not going to *completely* knock the iPhone for this because it apparently failed in applying the Portrait mode effect. It initially asked us to move closer to the subject, and when we did, it said ready, but it must've changed at the last second because it *didn't* apply the Portrait blur. The sky looks great here, but the camera completely shrouds my face in darkness and makes it tough to see. Maybe the result would've been different if Portrait mode actually worked.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu14Google Pixel 6, main camera with Night Sight. The 50-megapixel main camera can now take in a lot more light because it has a larger sensor than the camera on the Pixel 5. So shots like these, which is much darker than it looks, are really detailed, colorful, and not too grainy.
