What? How does a better screen make the camera better?
Also, in the comparison photos, they have shown different images for the Pixel and iPhone. How can we be expected to judge for ourselves based on that?
Come on, WSJ. This is just amateurish.
Came here to say the same thing, it's incredibly hard to judge when you have 2 different pictures. A number of site have nailed this and have the same picture taken with each phone and a slider you can pull across the image to switch between the two phones. All that to say I'm not a photographer and I really couldn't give a shit about the pictures I take. No one has ever shamed me for not having enough definition in a picture I've posted and reallyI'd be fine with a camera from 2-3 iPhone models ago.
Are you guys complaining about the slight differences in angle and camera placement? (i.e. as you pull the slider across, things shift a little bit) It was a little un-satisfying in the sense of falling just short of perfect, but in my non-photographer mind it's plenty close enough to see a fair comparison...
Thanks for clearing that up, it's now a very good comparison.
It doesn't, it makes the photos you take from said camera look better than if you also looked at the photos from a crappy screen.
Not trying to step on any toes; I just wanted to explain what they meant.
According to the author: The screen makes photos look better. So if you use your phone as the primary device to view photos, and don't want to carry a second device to take them, this may be the phone for you.
