FLUX.2 [dev] Black Forest Labs vs Nano Banana Pro Google

FLUX.2 [dev]

• + Excellent soft lighting quality consistent with the prompt.
• + Very realistic material textures on the red book and the wooden table.
• + Accurate blue sphere placement and refraction through the glass.

• − The 'cube' has overly rounded corners, making it look more like a glass block or thick vase.
• − The plant is very blurred in the background, making it less distinct than requested.

Nano Banana Pro

• + Perfect geometric representation of a sharp-edged glass cube.
• + Exceptional detail on the plant (fern) and the weathered texture of the book.
• + Strong adherence to the 'partially visible through glass' instruction with clear refraction and reflection.

• − The lighting is a bit harsh compared to the 'soft' request, though still aesthetically pleasing.

FLUX.2 [dev]

• + Excellent depiction of motion blur trailing cars in the background.
• + Highly realistic skin texture and natural lighting on the subject.
• + Strong use of reflections on the wet pavement that feel grounded in the scene.

• − The anatomy of the bicycle is physically impossible, with frame tubes passing through the man's legs and seat.
• − The man's right hand has an anatomical merging issue with the bike cables.

Nano Banana Pro

• + Superior architectural and spatial logic with a believable red bicycle structure.
• + Captures the 'candid street photo' aesthetic perfectly with film-like color grading.
• + Excellent background environmental storytelling through Japanese street signage and umbrellas.

• − Missing the specific request for motion blur from passing cars.
• − The pavement reflections are slightly less defined compared to Model A.

FLUX.2 [dev]

• + Excellent rendering of skin texture and individual facial hairs.
• + Very realistic leather strap and buckle detailing.
• + The engraving on the armor is clear and follows the curvature of the metal plates.

• − The scars look more like fresh cuts than 'faint scars' as requested.
• − The transition between the hair braids and the beads is slightly messy in some areas.

Nano Banana Pro

• + Superior hair detail, with intricate braiding and beads that perfectly match the prompt.
• + The armor details, including scratches and dents, contribute well to the 'battle-worn' aesthetic.
• + Beautiful bokeh sparks and atmospheric lighting that feels more integrated into the scene.

• − The leather strap across the chest has some structural inconsistencies near the buckle.

FLUX.2 [dev]

• + Excellent photorealistic texture on the fur and whiskers.
• + Natural and beautiful lighting with realistic lens flare and god rays.

• + Includes exactly one of each requested animal: puppy, kitten, bunny, and fox.
• + Bright, vibrant colors and expressive facial features that fit the 'joyful vibe'.

• − Leans more towards a digital illustration/3D render style rather than 'hyper-photorealistic'.
• − Noticeable anatomical artifacts, such as the fox kit having a dog-like paw and an extra leg-like shape behind it.
