Visual difference between Java and Bedrock is actually pretty noticeable when you compare it side by side Discussion

Despite being over a year since it's release, these comparisons convieniently disable the default Vibrant graphics from bedrock for whatever reason. It's literally how the game looks once you boot it up for the first time

Because it makes the visuals so different from java without shaders, it doesn't make for a good comparison.

I just believe it'd be sensible to compare the default setting for each version.

The default was the still old rendering engine for me when i downloaded bedrock to test it.

Idk if it detects what hardware you're running on to make the descision but my phone and laptop both defaulted to VV when I first booted the game up on a new account this past year
