Awesome comparison between these flagship camera phones.

    But if I understand you right, this only happens when you crop the picture? Are these taken shortly after each other? The clouds are VERY different between the two. If they are, the removal of the haze would obviously be the AI, on my phone that can be disabled.But maybe they cheat and have AI effects on anyway? I’ll have to experiment a bit with that.

      Sorry when, I mean crop. I’m talking about viewing the photo in full screen mode/zooming in to fit the screen in landscape mode. That’s when I noticed these kind of weird effects happening like dehazing, over sharpening and this kind of loss of detail

      The photos were taken like 1 minute apart and the clouds are in the same position. Xperia was more true to the scene as in it was a hazy day. While the pixel was more true to the color science of the moment.

        OK that makes more sense. 😀
        It’s interesting how much AI can do, and that it’s sometimes bad, I never used the AI on my phone, because I couldn’t see any difference when using the viewfinder. So I never actually made a shot with it, because I thought it did nothing. So I used Occam’s razor and disabled it.
        We have a picture made for hanging on the wall, that my wife took, a hazy winter day with some snow, where the haze is what makes the picture amazing in our opinion. If the AI can’t be disabled, that would have completely ruined the picture!

        Still the camera without AI remains in some situations better than the human eye. Like a sun down that is too sharp to look at, the camera can capture perfectly.
