I have compared the Pixel 7 Pro main camera (without Night Sight) with the Google Nexus 5x (Google camera version 3) at night. Surprisingly, the Nexus 5x in HDR+ On mode has more realistic colors due to a better auto white balance. And distant lamps have more realistic, saturated colors due to a less aggressive color noise reduction. The automatic brightness was more realistic on the Nexus, too (the 7 Pro was once too bright and once too dark). I was able to adjust the brightness and white balance with the sliders of the 7 Pro, but one can't adjust the color noise reduction.
The 7 Pro delivered sharper images, but it wasn't a huge difference because the 7 Pro still only has 12 megapixels and the 7 Pro often uses a shorter exposure time than the Nexus.
I also noticed that the 7 Pro had really no advantage regarding blown out highlights (though you can adjust this with the sliders).

            I bought 7pro in Germany for 899EUR and got a free pixel watch (LTE). I sold the watch for 300EUR. So, for 600EUR it's really great phone :) I like it.

I’ll never forget when they tested an 8gb ram Macbook outperforming a 64gb ram windows laptop. I’m wasting my time.....I forget how some people like paying for mediocrity. The only cool thing you mentioned was a 144 refresh rate screen. I don’t know why Apple is so cheap and stingy when it comes to a high refresh rate screen.

                    Mediatek sux, 29 Oct 2022https://www.amazon.com/Asus-TUF-i5-11260H-Threads-Keyboard/... moreThats still about $200 more than the P7P so thanks for continuing to prove my point. The 3050 in that is only a 60w GPU. I don't think you know what you even linked because the 3050 in that laptop is going to perform like a GTX 1060 at the best. I wouldn't be caught dead paying $1000 for something like that in 2022 almost 2023. Don't even get me started on that bottom tier 11th gen i5. The 11260H is one of the worst i5 cpus and is only used because they can't cool anything higher power due to the cheap cooling hardware used. Maybe if it was the 11320H you'd at least have a entry level cpu performance. You're not doing a very good job at backing your argument when you're linking things nearly $1000 with pretty terrible hardware.

                            Maybe I needed to read this article better and I just missed it, but it seemed to fully miss the reasons why I want to move to the pixel... All the fantastic AI functions that are much improved with the processor it has.

                              At night the 2x mode only has 3 megapixels instead of 12.5. I have just noticed that they use machine learning zoom at 2x at night, but not at 1.9x. It looks very artificial. I prefer 1.9x at night.

                                    The first S22 Ultra main camera sample image in this review suffers from overexposure as well as HDR halos at pixel level. I am surprised that Samsung's HDR image processing looks so bad. It is still behind the HDR+ On mode of phones like the Google Nexus 5x.

                                      I have a strange issue with this phone
                                      Whenever I am trying to play a game and if I go to settings and to change the graphic settings to max, it won't allow me to do that. It always keeps the settings in medium

                                      Please help how to overturn this
