Macro

Portrait
The Samsung Galaxy S24 switches to a 10MP 3x telephoto lens to capture portraits from the rear cameras by default. Conversely, the Pixel 8 utilises the 50MP main sensor for portraits. So, to keep things balanced, we switched to the 50MP 1x camera on the Samsung smartphone. Check out the results above and vote for the smartphone that offers better edge detection, accurate skin tones, and good exposure to facial detailing.
3x zoom
While the Google Pixel 8 may not feature a dedicated telephoto lens for optical zoom, it offers in-sensor zoom capabilities of up to 8x, complemented by Google’s advanced computational techniques. But does this computational prowess measure up to Samsung’s 10MP 3x telephoto lens on the S24? You can decide the winner by casting your vote.
Lowlight
Lowlight photography is tricky for any smartphone, but shouldn’t be an issue for these premium flagship smartphones.

Examine the results and let us know which smartphone does a better job of capturing finer details without overprocessing the images.
