70% Informative

The Google Pixel 9 has everything most people want from a camera phone.

The iPhone 16 has a 48MP , f/1.6 main sensor and a 12MP ultrawide lens.

While the iPhone 16 struggles with lighting, the Pixel 9 falls flat in terms of color accuracy.

Neither phone has a dedicated telephoto, so both opt to use sensor crop to deliver optical-quality zoom.

Both the iPhone 16 and the Pixel 9 give you a great smartphone camera for $ 800 .

The iPhone 16 is powered by the A18 chip, has an updated design, 25W MagSafe charging support, and a 6.1-inch OLED screen.

If you like the vibrancy and "pop" factor of the Google Pixel 9 's colors, you should absolutely choose that phone.
