Here’s how it worked: Brownlee posted Instagram photos, and viewers selected what smartphone photos they liked most. The reason for this blind test is that the participants don’t know what smartphone they took the photo before end. The phones whose competitors won this years test include the Galaxy S21, the Axon 30 Ultra, the Asus olympics, the Lenovo Legion Duel, Sonys Xperia Pro I, the Find X3, the Mi 11 Ultra, the OnePlus 9, the Pixel 5a, the Pixel 6, the phone 7800, the Google X3 300, the Samsung Surface Duo 2 and the Realm-Gadget. It is worth noting that most of these devices aren’t available officially in Canada. This is the fourth year of a row that Brownlee had held this test. Googles Pixel 5a, which is unavailable in Canada, won the contest this year. The Pixel 5a beat the iPad 13 and even the Pixel 6 Pro. Brownlee says that in the past, people usually have a choice between brighter images and those that feature larger contrast. And he said that prices have no barring on choices either. The Pixel 5a is one of the less resuscitations in MKBHD’s annual contest. Mary Brownlee, source: The adol.
