REVIEWS iPHONE 11 VS ANDROID’S BEST

The iPhone 11 (top left)

nailed the color and

captured more detail

in this shot of a tree

trunk, but the Pixel 4

XL (top right), Galaxy

S10+ (bottom left) and

OnePlus 7T (bottom

right) weren’t far behind.

affected clarity and

sharpness, the iPhone

11’s shots had deeper

blacks, crisper details,

and less overall noise

and graininess.

Small details aside,

at times the iPhone 11

simply floored the

competition. As you

can see in the

comparison shots of

the dart boards, all four

phones did well with

pulling out the color of

the darts, but the

board on the wall is

another story. The

OnePlus 7T struggled

mightily with white balance (a constant issue

when shooting in low light with white

backgrounds), and the numbers in the S10+’s

shot are barely visible. The Pixel 4 handled

the color well, and illuminated the colors in

the board and most of the bottom numbers,

but the iPhone 11 was the only one of the

bunch to illuminate all of the numbers (even if

some aren’t legible) and properly brighten

the wall.

When shooting in normal light, however,

the differences aren’t nearly as extreme. In the

portrait examples, each camera handles the

background blur (and my son’s messy hair)
