There’s no moving back and forward, you just point at anyone or any creature and the Pixel 7 manages to create that subject and background segmentation. The Portrait mode is one department where I clearly prefer the Pixel 7 as I’ve noted in my reviews as well.

If you look at the pictures of the dog below - a fairly difficult subject to click using Portrait mode– you can see how different the approach is from both Apple and Google, even though the picture are not exactly the same. But what is evident from both sets of photos is that these are excellent point-and-shoot cameras during the day with minimal effort required from both sides.Īpple iPhone 14 Plus vs Google Pixel 7: Portraits I thought the Pixel 7 was more natural in some scenarios, though some might prefer the iPhone.

In Apple’s case, you can choose a preset colour profile ranging from Standard to Rich Contract (richer colours and stronger contrast) to Vibrant Style (more vivid colours) to Warm Style (golden undertones) and a Cool tone (more blue undertones).

And this challenge of differentiating gets harder when you place the Google Pixel 7’s camera against that of the Apple iPhone 14 Plus. That’s mostly because these phones have managed to achieve a certain standard and reliability, especially in the camera department. Pitting flagship phones against each other is a tough one.
