Testing Nano Banana 2 and comparing with Nano Banana Pro

Testing Nano Banana 2 and comparing with Nano Banana Pro.

In short, the difference is minimal. And where it appears, it often comes down to a specific generation.

1. Portrait. Banana 2 took the simplest path. The picture is normal, but it slightly fell short in skin realism. Pro looks better: more details and naturalness.

2. Atmospheric photo outdoors. Here I almost don't see any difference. The only thing is that the Pro integrates the person into the scene a bit better and the lighting is neater. But these are micro-nuances.

3. Storyboard. A complex prompt, the result here always varies. But this time I liked Banana 2 more, it stays closer to the original. Pro started to interpret the scene freely and added unnecessary elements.

4. Ultra-wide angle + fish-eye. Here Pro handled it more accurately. Banana 2 essentially just took a shot, without the feel of the necessary optics.

5. Infographics (cookies). Banana 2 added more details and labels, looks richer. Pro went for minimalism. But again, it all heavily depends on the seed.

Bottom line: There's no big difference. If it's noticeable, it's only in details, nuances, or a specific iteration.

The main impression is this: Banana 2 tries to simplify and average the result for speed, while Pro still tries to follow the prompt more accurately. Therefore, we await Nano Banana 2 Pro.
