Google Pixel 5 Camera Samples

Pixel 5, Night Sight. This scene wasn't as well lit as the image suggests, yet the camera managed to grab plenty of details from the tree.

Pixel 5, Night Sight. Colors come through well here in this night-time photo, and it's not too grainy. Compare this with the next photo from Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, Night mode. The Pixel's photo is a hair sharper and more colorful, but Samsung manages the bright street lamp and the pitch lights at the back better. They're both great photos.

Pixel 5, main camera. I love the colors in this shot. Everything looks sharp; you can see the leaves on the left tree pretty clearly.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu05Pixel 5, Night Sight. It's a bit dark in some areas with a lot of grain, but the colors are almost exactly what I saw in real life.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu06Pixel 5, Portrait Mode. Pixel's portrait mode does a great job outlining my dog to add the blur effect here, and it's a sharp photo.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu07Pixel 5, main camera. Yes, this tasted great. And the Pixel did a good job of capturing it accurately.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu08Pixel 5, Portrait Night Sight. Night Sight kicks in when you use Portrait mode in low light. On previous Pixels, portrait mode suffered in low light, but this image is plenty colorful, sharp, and not grainy.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu09Pixel 5, ultrawide camera. Unlike a lot of phones with ultrawide cameras, there's a ton of detail here, from the brickwork to the trees. Colors are well intact, and there's not much lens distortion.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu10Pixel 5, Night Sight ultrawide. The ultrawide fares well in low light too. There's still a good deal of grain, but the image is sharp for the most part.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu11Pixel 5, ultrawide Night Sight. My dog is not as sharp as I'd like, and there's a lot of grain in this image.
