Early Camera Test Favors iPhone 16 Pro Max Over Pixel 10 Pro XL for Video

A Dave2D comparison highlights low-light and motion advantages for Apple's phone.

Overview

  • Side-by-side footage from Dave2D shows the iPhone producing more detailed video and cleaner results after dark.
  • The Pixel displayed a jarring judder during quick camera moves, while the iPhone handled motion more consistently.
  • The Pixel delivered the stronger macro video and remains a standout for still photos, according to the test.
  • Google's Video Boost required roughly 20 hours to process the sample clip, contrasting with Apple's real-time approach.
  • Other new tools drew mixed impressions, with 100x ProRes Zoom appearing grainy in use and Camera Coach deemed unnecessary.
