Zoom in and you can see the Pixel 3 photo is filled with grain, and there is considerably less noise on the Pixel 4 image. This might be due to the sun, which could have gone right behind a cloud as I switched to the Pixel 4. Right off the bat, you can see two different tones - the Pixel 4 XL photo is cooler, whereas the Pixel 3 XL image is warmer.

One thing to keep in mind is that many of these camera updates will be making its way to the Pixel 3, and while you might not get the same exact results, you can likely get very close to the Pixel 4.ĭisclaimer: I analyzed these photos on a color-calibrated professional monitor. The company also told Digital Trends despite the aperture being wider, the corner-to-corner sharpness is better, and that’s not often the case on cameras with wide apertures. Google said the sensor has a higher base dynamic range, so it can snap more well-exposed shots in high-contrast scenes, and it also adds support for ultralong exposures for astrophotography. The main lens uses the same sensor as last year’s model, but there are a few differences. The Pixel 4 XL has a 12.2-megapixel lens with an f/1.7 aperture, but it’s also paired with a 16-megapixel telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture - both have OIS. The Pixel 3 XL has a 12.2-megapixel lens with an f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization (OIS). Pixel 3 XL camera shootout will answer that question for you. If you’re thinking of upgrading from the Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL, you might be wondering if the camera upgrades are substantial enough.
