All right so, a couple of days ago, I released my first impression of this. This is the Pixel 4a, and some of you in the comments were pretty pissed off that I didn't touch on the camera aspect of this phone. I get it. A lot of people rely on their cameras on their phones today to replace things like a DSLR because they don't want to take it with them and obviously the best camera you have is the one that's with you. So in today's video I decided to do you one better. Let's do a camera comparison between the Pixel 4a and this the iPhone SE.
Now I've been using both of these cameras for a little, the iPhone SE. I've had for well over a month's time and the Pixel 4a for just a little more than a week. So today I took both of these to Kennedy Space Center and did a real world shootout with both of these so which one of these came out on top, let's find out, what's good guys, ken here welcome back you're watching original dodo and uh for those of you who are just stumbling across this channel. I don't normally do phone related content, most of the time, I'm doing camera gear or talking about drones or something to that effect. But recently I've been sort of fascinated with these cameras on phones, because they've gotten so good and just phone technology today has changed so much, and you can get great phones for so little.
I thought I would take some time out and put some segment segments like this together, because for my pilots that are watching these videos, we still rely on phones to fly our drones and well. If you can get let's sort around fly the drone never mind anyways. We rely on good phones to be able to fly and well here are two great choices in the marketplace today. So we have two phones that are budget friendly. Both are priced very similarly, this is 349.
This is 3.99 as configured now where it gets a little. Different is if we wanted to go apples to apples with. You know, storage configurations. This becomes a 450 dollar phone and this is still 349. Now both have a 12 megapixel camera and on the front it gets a little different, because this one has an 8 megapixel.
This one has a 7 megapixel sort of weird from apple, but that's that's what they chose to do so. In today's camera comparison I decided to do sort of an average Joe shooter perspective. Somebody was just snapping off photos and not worrying about composition or lighting. I held both the cameras basically side by side snapped off the shutter at the same time, so the photos will be apples to apples. I did do a brief video comparison, but I didn't do enough of video to really make a great determination, so I'm really more or less focused on photos, but there are some video shots in there with that being said, I'm going to go ahead and play these clips with the photos, and it's just going to be titled a and b, and then I'll go back through one more time and let you see what the reveal is of which of these shots so, firstly, and blindly, don't anybody ruin this for somebody in the comment section, so let them make their own decision based upon what they see and what they like.
First, lets uh, let's get into it, um so alrighty. So what I'll say in the closing comments of this is that I'm really impressed with the Pixel 4a camera for 350 phones? I did not expect it to do so. Damn well more often than not. I found that the pixel was getting me better shots right out of the gate, without even trying, even with me sort of tap into exposed with the iPhone SE. In certain instances.
I still found that the pixel did a better job with dynamic range. So, as far as dynamic range goes, the pixel takes the cake. Another area in which I did not expect the pixel to do so well was on two time: zoom anytime I needed to zoom in on a shot. The pixel was definitely sharper more detailed than the iphone just sort of fell apart anytime, you zoomed past the two times or right at the two times mark it just didn't seem like it retained as much detail in low light situations. The pixel outshone the iPhone SE easily.
It was like no competition. There was a lot of grain and loss of detail in the iPhone SE as to where the pixel was able to make out the details and retain some highlight and shadow roll-off, which I thought was pretty fantastic. Now when it came to the front-facing cameras, that's where I think the iPhone did a little better. I noticed that the portrait shots just looked a little sharper, a little cleaner, a lot more natural and less distracting. But again, that's going to be really subjective.
Some of you may like that, overly done both that the pixel can generate. Although the front-facing shooter worked great and the autofocus was really, really solid. As far as video goes, I really don't have a clear-cut winner, because I didn't spend enough time in video on either one of these to really deem one better than the other, but from what I saw both of these did great as far as video goes, and you're, probably not going to have a complaint either or way, and then there are some shots that I looked at. That was really hard to determine which one was a clear winner on those outdoor shots. I think both cameras did really well in some instances and trade.
It blows back and forth, but where I think the Pixel 4a edges out, the iPhone SC is just in the sheer dollars to performance perspective at 350 versus 400 budget phones from apple it just gets the job done. The other thing that I enjoy is the fact that I have 35 battery here, and I have just a little over 50 battery on this phone now. You're, probably thinking well clearly the iPhone's winning that aspect, but I forgot to charge this now for I'm going on a day and a half- and I charge this today, so this phone's battery with popping off all these photos and images today did absolutely phenomenal, which I think is great so yeah. Let me know what you guys think of these images and if you want to see a different test, maybe with video I can definitely go ahead and spin one of those up, but I'm really impressed 350 bucks. I'm glad my sim card is in the Pixel 4a, because when I need a good camera, I can rely on this and in some instances I've been using this camera more so than the one that is on my iPhone 11 Pro.
So there you go, that's going to do it for this video. If you enjoyed be sure to smack that like button, if you didn't well, then you didn't, I don't know what to tell you, I'm not a phone guy. You want a phone guy, go watch, go watch, somebody else, go, watch technically t or something I don't know. Jackasses stay rich. You.
