In reply to Toqeer Sethi. For the Pro mode thing, you can achieve similar functionality on the Google Pixel using a third-party camera app like Manual. The biggest bummer for me with the Pixel is its slow focus times in low-light. It just fails to focus properly in such scenarios. Very frustrating.

which photo belongs to which phone? Also worth mentioning here is that you can frame a landscape shot easily in the s8 using the pro mode to produce results tailored to your liking. Google pixel does a great job but is limited to the phone ISP which migh not be what you always want to see. For moving objects or when needing to frame a shot quickly the pixel might have the edge as its going to expose really well but the slow focus could mean you have lost a shot where as the s8’s lightening fast focus allows you to frame and shoot and then edit later to tweak the results…..In summary. If you want to point and shoot and not care about post processing the pixel will be fine but if like me you want to tweak your photos later easily on your smartphone, then the s8 is the way to go. I imagine in the next iteration of the pixel phone you will see a wider aperture with faster focusing but we will have to wait. Until then, im sold on the s8.
