Oneplus 6t Vs Google Pixel 3 Xl: Here Is How They Stack Up On Camera

The Google Pixel 3 XL and the OnePlus 6T are two devices that showcase the best of what Android can achieve, especially on the camera front. While the OnePlus 6T, the mid-year upgrade to the OnePlus 6, pushes the envelope on what specs can be offered on a budget, the Pixel 3 XL is supposed to be the best of Google and Android, bringing in features that other phones will only get later.

We decided to do a deep camera comparison of the two phones. But before that here is how they compare on specifications.
The Pixel 3 XL has a 6.3-inch QHD+ display with a rather prominent notch, OnePlus 6T has a smaller water drop style notch, which is much more elegant. The display is 6.41-inches on the 6T. While both phones have excellent displays when using indoors, in bright sunlight, Pixel has the edge.

In bright sunlight, I could see that the Google phone’s display worked much better and was more legible, while OnePlus 6T struggled. I faced this while taking photos in bright sunlight during my vacation, where Pixel 3 XL’s viewfinder was clearly visible compared to OnePlus 6T.
The two phones are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. However, Pixel 3 XL is limited to 4GB RAM. OnePlus 6T is offering 6GB and 8GB RAM coupled with 64, 128 and 256GB storage. RAM management has been an issue on the Pixel phones with apps randomly closing. This is where OnePlus 6T is better, given the price.
Both phones do not have a microSD slot. Pixel 3 XL is dust and water-resistant with an IP68 rating, while the OnePlus 6T offers some level of water-resistance. Still you cannot take OnePlus 6T for a swim. The IP rating again gives the Pixel phone an advantage.
OnePlus 6T does come with bigger battery at 3700 mAh compared to the 3430 mAh one on the Pixel. This plus OnePlus’ fast charging makes it better on the battery front. Pixel has a 15W fast charger called Pixel Stand, but you have to buy that separately. On the battery front, both should easily last a day, though the Pixel 3 XL does get warm while charging.

OnePlus 6T also gets a more convenient in-display fingerprint sensor and has a good face unlock feature. Screen Unlock is accurate and zippy on the OnePlus 6T. Pixel continues with the regular fingerprint sensor at the back of the phone, which also works smoothly.OnePlus 6T has a 16MP+20MP camera combination, while Pixel continues with the single-rear 12MP camera. So which is the better performer?

When it comes to Portrait, Pixel has no competition. It works better with objects like flowers, people, even poor lighting where most phones struggle with Portrait shots. The Pixel 3 XL’s Portrait mode requires very little effort on part of the user, and the result is a very sharp Portrait shot, which does stand out.
On the OnePlus 6T, the Portrait mode works better with actual people. And the implementation is quite good. But Pixel is a clear winner in this department when it comes to segmentation of subject and background.
