Google Pixel 3a vs iPhone XR By Mrwhosetheboss

Google has just announced two fascinating smartphones devices that are in a lot of ways, including their price, completely mid-range, but in some key areas pretty much the best money can buy. So this is the package Google sent over and in this video we're going to do a first impressions' comparison between the devices in this box and Apple's iPhone 10 R. So immediately when we open the package we're going to see two devices, the Google Pixel 3a and the Google Pixel 3a XL in this lower compartment, we've got the retail boxes what you would actually buy if you went into a store and picked one up and right out of the box. There are a couple of differences worth noting the pixel.3A phones come with an 18 watt, fast charger compared to just 5 watts on the iPhone 10 are the pixel also comes with a quick switch adapter which, if you're coming from an Android phone means, you can transfer a lot of your data very quickly. The iPhone does win a point in terms of earphones being included in the box all right. So one of the main selling points of this Pixel 3a is it's really rather affordable.

It starts at 399 pounds and goes up to 469 for the Excel model with the 10 are starting at 749, there's enough of a price difference here that these phones shouldn't really even be comparable, and yet in a lot of ways, they really are to give the iPhone some credit, though its design exudes class, at least from the rear. The phone is encased in glass, and it completely trumped the cheaper feeling. Polycarbonate pixel phones, but Google's decision to use plastic does mean that the pixels are noticeably lighter, oh yeah, and they also have headphone jacks I would class both the 3a XL and the iPhone 10 are as bulky feeling phones, but at the same time, I really like how the standard base 3a fits in the hand. It feels refreshing, Li petite, and you don't really have any problem reaching most of the screen. The Pixel 3a is also one of the cheapest phones in the world, to use a stereo speaker setup and to give you an idea of its quality.

Here's a quick side-by-side. It's worth pointing out that google has also made the standard concessions when it comes to the mid-range phones. The pixels don't support wireless charging, and they don't have any kind of IP rating, but the iPhone does have light b67 cameras and both phones are some few devices left with just a single camera on the back. But you really don't feel like you're compromising. The iPhone has a 12 megapixel sensor, and it takes beautifully balanced photos on both the front and the back camera.

It can do portrait mode on both and can also record 4k video at 60 frames per second, this being one of its main advantages over the pixel, which is limited to 30. The Google camera from a software perspective is a little smarter. You've got top shot that allows you to pick a different, pose or smile after you've taken a photo and the pixel can use motion autofocus to make sure that any given object remains in focus. Neither phone has a telephoto lens, but Google can actually use software to simulate it, and, whilst it's not as good as having an optical zoom, it's better than you might think. I've got a more detailed camera comparison.

Video coming very soon, so stay tuned for that, but, as a quick summary, both take amazing photos and the Pixel 3a is going to blow the iPhone away at nighttime with its dedicated night sight feature, but the iPhone has more capable video ok. So whilst the Pixel 3a is not super expensive, it's also not particularly cheap, and my first impression when I picked it up was that I wish the bezels were a little smaller. The 3a XL is a really large phone. Considering it's only got an average sized 6 inch display. The same is true for the iPhone.

A chunky bezel runs around the whole phone, which, combined with a notch up top, makes for a somewhat restricted viewing experience. I am kind of relieved that Google has made sure that both of these pixels have OLED displays, whilst the iPhone is stuck with an LCD. The pixels are higher resolution too, although bear in mind there as far as LCD's go the iPhone 10. Ours is one of the best, so the difference isn't as drastic as you might think. Overall, I, don't love the front of either of these phones.

Although considering the price difference Google's offering is more excusable. You probably know that the iPhone comes with apples face ID, which scans your face, with a failure rate of about one in a million Google doesn't have an equivalent secure face scanner, but in its place you do get a fingerprint scanner on the back, which is well-positioned and first, although not as secure as face ID, all right. So to get one thing out the way: I'm a huge fan of Google's software skin and whilst the hardware is not quite flagship grade on this phone, the software absolutely is the pixel.3Ei runs Android nine out the box with zero bloat, where there are literally 20 applications in the entire system. Here and one of them is the settings you can squeeze the phone to activate Google Assistant. The phone has an always-on display, something that the iPhone still can't do and Google is going to use these phones to trial, augmented reality maps very much still.

A beta feature, though, what's also pretty cool, is now playing that picks up on any music around you and tells you what it is without you needing to do anything you're also getting three years guaranteed minimum of software and security updates. So, if you think about it, that's all the way up to Android 12, which, as far as Android phones go, is amazing. Having said that, Apple users can usually expect five years worth of upgrades anyways, and it's worth remembering. The iOS also has some great unique features like airdrop for transferring files between Apple products, and this works like absolute magic. You've also got native high quality screen recording, but the pixel should also be getting this in its Android 10 update.

We've already seen that the charger that comes with the 3a easily out muscles, the one that comes with the iPhone 10 R, but it also combines this with a larger battery. The three A's is slightly larger, but the 3a excels significantly so, but when you factor in just how much better iOS is at managing the battery, I would place. The 10 are roughly in between the 3a and the 3a XL for real World Endurance power. There is one area where the pixel is completely trounced. The iPhone runs Apple's a 12 Bionic chip, which still provides comparable performance to top-tier flagships.

The pixel, though, is powered by the Snapdragon at 670, released roughly at the same time as the e 12, but noticeably in a lower class, so which phone do you think is a winner so far at least I'm completely floored at how this phone's camera performs, and you're going to see more about that very soon. In a detailed camera comparison, my name is Aaron. This is mister who's, the boss, and I'll catch you in the next one.
