    I don’t understand how the 7a beats the more modern 8/8 Pro. Surely the newer models have the same or improved hardware and software? I guess maybe the newer sensors haven’t been tweaked as well yet?

      The pixel 8 pro needs some software tweaking for sure. It’s shoots way too cold (the hue). My pixel 7a has been great, following my pixel 4a that also took surprisingly great pictures.

    I love these tests! I hope they can expand this in the future, to a few more popular phones, and even a short video test or two.

    There was a time when there really were significant differences between these cameras. Those days are over.

    from a purely engineering perspective, i’d be really interested to see a comparison like this for what a professional photographer can do with whatever “highest quality” output a phone has (eg raw if available, least compressed, etc)

    imo it’d be interesting to remove all the post processing from the equation and just see how the actual sensors compare

    of course, most people just shoot a photo and they’re done, but it’d still be interesting!
