ZTE Blade Vantage Photos
It’s done either through a single-camera or dual-camera system, with a depth map that detects the subject from the background. Once detected, a blur effect (bokeh) is added to produce a DSLR-style photograph. This one is an easy win for the Pixel 3, though the runner up isn’t the next most expensive phone, it’s the OnePlus 6T. We’ve mentioned this already in our review, but Samsung’s Portrait Mode function is among the worst we have seen on a flagship smartphone. It has continued to give us photos with a soft focus, which ends up looking blurry or of poor quality.
There’s a good blur effect, with a mostly accurate cutout around the subject, but it’s far from being a photo we want to share. There’s a beauty mode that smooths facial features, but we turned it off for all of these photos. The LG G7 does an admirable job here. There’s more definition give to the subject, with a strong blur effect, but it looks a little too Photoshopped. The OnePlus 6T looks more natural and has a good cutout, but we wish the blur was stronger.

It’s our second favorite of the lot. The Pixel 3 blows the others out of the water. The level of detail on the subject is stunning, and the color, tone, and cutout accuracy is fantastic. Winner: Google Pixel 3 Parked motorbike From top left to bottom right: OnePlus 6T, Pixel 3, Samsung Galaxy S9, LG G7 ThinQ Portrait Mode doesn’t have to be used on people (unless it’s an iPhone XR). Sometimes it’s fun using it on other subjects, and it can enhance how photos look. The Galaxy S9 comes last again, because it continues to produce fuzzy photos. The other three phones offer good photos.
The LG G7 comes third for not being as sharp as the 6T or Pixel 3 photos. We like the warm temperature, but notice the license plate of the car behind it — the camera thinks it’s in the same depth plane, when realistically it should be blurred. The Pixel 3 messes this up too. The OnePlus 6T does a good job with cutout accuracy, but we really do think the blur effect needs to be stronger here.

The photo also has unnaturally cool tones. The Pixel 3 crops in a little more than the others, but it has the strongest detail, excellent blur strength, and a nice mix of warm and cool color temperatures. The cutout isn’t the most accurate, but it’s the photo we like the most. Winner: Google Pixel 3 Evening selfie From left to right: OnePlus 6T, Pixel 3, Samsung Galaxy S9, LG G7 ThinQ Who doesn’t love a good selfie? This selfie was taken in an area with decent lighting in the evening, and all of these photos are good enough to share.
However, they all do a poor job of dealing with the sky in the background. The Galaxy S9 has solid detail, but the subject’s face and the rest of the photo is too warm. The G7 photo is on the cooler side, but it looks good. The OnePlus 6T photo is the least sharp, but the subject has a natural skin tone.
The Pixel 3 photo once again stuns with spectacular detail. You can see individual hair strands on the subject’s face, which are far more mushy in the other photos. There’s better contrast, and while it’s a little on the warmer side, it’s easily the best photo of the lot. Winner: Google Pixel 3 Low-light selfie From left to right: OnePlus 6T, Pixel 3, Samsung Galaxy S9, LG G7 ThinQ Most of us probably end up taking selfies when sufficient light isn’t available. But phone cameras are getting better at taking photos we’d want to share in this kind of lighting. There are two clear losers here: The Galaxy S9 and the LG G7. The latter is blurry, though it would be a decent photo if it delivered better image stabilization.
The S9’s photo is far too warm, overexposed in some areas, and it’s not as sharp. It’s another close match between the OnePlus 6T and the Pixel 3.
