Google Pixel 7 Pro is a better still photo camera

While the DxOMark tests put these phones through several scientific tests, it should be noted that both phones are almost equally good, and you are bound to get the best results regardless of your choice. We are currently testing the Pixel 7 Pro's camera and so far, it has impressed us with its night photography and natural skin tones. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, however, has a slight edge with minute details as well as better white balance.

As a reminder, the Pixel 7 Pro gets to have a 50MP main camera with a f/1.9 aperture lens and a 1/1.3-inch. This is accompanied by a 48MP telephoto camera with 5X optical zoom and makes use of Google's Super Hi Res Zoom for digital zoom up to 30X. Lastly, you get to see a 12MP ultrawide camera. The front camera uses a 10.8MP camera.

Google is, however, using the Tensor G2 chipset and its smarter AI algorithms to upscale the images as well as improve video performance. This one also gets a larger 6.7-inch Quad HD+ OLED display with a variable refresh rate of 10Hz to 120Hz.
