Samsung Galaxy Note 9 vs Google Pixel 2 XL: Night blind camera comparison
You can now read:


The new Galaxy Note 9 is the best phone Samsung has to offer us in the second half of the year and it not only offers power in performance, but also capable cameras that will shoot for the stars.

And when it comes to night-time shooting, nobody has been able to catch the low-light camera champion in the form of the Google Pixel 2 XL and its mighty camera.

Will the Note 9 be that exception that beats the Pixel 2 XL with better images?

We have taken a bunch of pictures and compare them side to side. We have removed all information about which phone took which photo, so the only thing you have to judge is the quality of the images, without brand bias getting in the way. So vote away! The polling stations close on Monday and that's when you will see the big revelation and the results.
