Now, if you really want to know the winner, look closer and you will notice how the Galaxy won almost all of the daytime rounds, while the Google Pixel 8 Pro absolutely dominated in low light shooting! So yes, the Galaxy emerges as the winner for daytime ultra-wide shots as everyone seems to love these more saturated colors, while at night that brand new 48-megapixel low light camera on the Pixel 8 Pro certainly makes a huge difference and takes the easy win.
Good news is that the next Galaxy S24 Ultra is right around the corner and it could come with a new ultra-wide camera, and rumors also say that Apple’s big upgrade for the iPhone 16 Pro series is a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera. But let’s look at the results for each image, shall we?
