Photograph: Julian Chokkattu04iPhone SE 2022, main camera. This image accurately conveys the exact scene in real life. The only flaw is the foliage on the trees on the left looks more like an oil painting.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu06iPhone SE 2022, Portrait mode. The blur effect isn't perfect—there are some errors around the hair on the left and top—but it's still a really well-detailed and colorful shot.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu07iPhone SE 2022, selfie camera. This is a pretty bad selfie. My face is a bit blurry, the colors are very muted, and nothing is sharp. Compare this with the following photo taken by the similarly priced Google Pixel 5A.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu09iPhone SE 2022, main camera. Zoom in on the building and the brickwork is barely visible and filled with grain, and the whole shot is very dull in color. Compare it with the following photo.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu12Google Pixel 5A 5G, main camera with Night Sight. The colors are so much nicer (and more accurate here) on the Pixel image. Obviously, the whole image isn't blurry either, though this could have been captured at the split second my dog stopped moving.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu13iPhone SE 2022, main camera. If you stay still enough you can capture some decent low-light shots like this. You can see how muted the colors are compared to the following Pixel photo though, and how some parts of the image are shrouded in darkness.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu14Google Pixel 5A 5G, main camera with Night Sight. This might be a bit *too* colorful, but the scene wasn't as muted as the previous iPhone image. I also like that you can see a lot more of the background.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu15iPhone SE 2022, main camera. Here's a quick shot I snapped right as I stopped walking. You can see how the camera couldn't handle the handshake and ended up with a blurry shot. Compare this with the following photo. 
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu16Google Pixel 5A 5G, main camera with Night Sight. Everything's much sharper on the Pixel photo and they were snapped at pretty much the same time. The colors are punchier, and everything is just exposed a little better.
