These are always the most interesting competition.
And the reactions to it are just as fascinating as the results. Wow do people struggle hard when their 100megapixel sensor doesn’t beat a 16megapixel Pixel. 😅
I have to say, I was really impressed by how well the Pixel 7a did. At $400 now, that’s a great (somewhat) cheap option for folks, though I do wish its battery life was a bit better…
I’ve got a Pixel 8 non-Pro on the way, so I’m excited to see how it performs compared to my old Galaxy S9 :P
I voted in last year’s competition (missed it this year). It was super well run, truly a blind test, and I agreed with the final report completely.
Yet Marques always gives his ‘best camera phone’ award to Apple, knowing and acknowledging that the Pixels beat Apples in his blind tests. He thinks the overall photo experience with Apple is better.
I disagree with him, but I get where he’s coming from.
Apple offers a very big advantage compared to most other phone. Its photos are never the best, but they are always at the very least decent enough. Much harder to get a truly bad image as the average phone user than my S23U for example
No he thinks Apple is better income between ad impressions and sponsoring money (could be either, could be both). It’s a company, I don’t think they do these decisions based on personal preference any more.

Each year he mentions the iPhone wins overall camera because of its video performance.
