Is DOUBLE the cost worth it? | iPhone 12 Pro vs Pixel 4a 5g! | Comparison By Technically Speaking

What's up everybody. This is Scott. Welcome back to another video in today's video. I want to do a comparison of well. You've, probably guessed it by now some sort of pixel device versus the iPhone 12 Pro. So this is the Google Pixel 4a 5g versus the iPhone 12 Pro.

What you're seeing right here is actually the iPhone 12 Pro 4k 60 frames, a second on the front facing camera and the pixel much like every other pixel, that's out there in today's day and age is uh.1080P 30 frames a second on the front-facing camera stabilization out of both is basically what you see is what you get and the microphones are everything that you see and hear here as well. Some key differences. Let's talk about the price perspective, the iPhone 12 Pro, the one that I have 128 um is a thousand bucks 9.99. The 4a 5g comes in at half that cost so for 500. This is the quality that you could basically expect out of the pixel 4 a5g versus the thousand dollar counterpoint of the Apple iPhone, so how's, the front-facing camera.

Look I'm not in the greatest of lights. I guess you could say I'm working towards dusk here in Ohio, but how's the highlights. Look in the sky. Look up here! Um! I can see in camera right now. Everything that you see the iPhone is much more pleasing to the eye, especially since up here is a little more blue.

The blue in the sky, though on the iPhone, is actually more blue in the phone than it is in real life. There's really no good days in Ohio like this. This is not nearly as gray as it seems up here. Both of these phones get it mostly right, depending on how you like to look at it more pleasing to the eye and the iPhone less color inaccurate compared to what my natural eye sees just looks better, but the pixel is just way more muted, it's its less colorful and pleasing to the eye in terms of what it actually looks like outside. So it's to my eye, it's between the iPhone in terms of color and the pixel 4 a5g on this front-facing camera.

Now, let's flip it to the back side and talk about that now, both cameras come equipped with 4k 60 frames per second. But what you see right here is 4k 30 frames. A second, the stabilization is what it is out of both as always with all my comparison videos. This is a handheld on a switch pod. Uh side-by-side comparison, shots walking directly towards this little house hut thing that's out in the middle of this park.

The stabilization out of the pixel 4 a5g is like the key word of 2020. For me, with the stabilization of the pixel, devices is black magic not that the iPhone is bad. The pixel just looks ridiculous in terms of the stabilization. Now, let's go back towards that goal right there walking at a little faster pace and again the stabilization doesn't look bad 4k 30 frames a second out of the iPhone. It just doesn't look like it's moving in the pixel.

It looks frozen and ridiculous. Super, super happy with the stabilization that comes out of the 4a5g. Now, let's flip it to 4k 60 and see what that looks like this is 4k 60 frames. A second out of both of these I'm going to walk directly towards this flag. That's right here in the middle of this field, and honestly, you can see that again, the pixel looks phenomenal.

The iPhone is no slouch either it just the stabilization on the pixel 4 a5g, in my opinion, just is better uh, but again not to take it away from the iPhone at all it just it barely moves at all now one advantage that the iPhone has in the 4k 60 frames. A second is the ability to zoom out. So let's go ahead and try that let's do the ultra-wide 4k 60, whereas the Pixel 4a doesn't have the ability to do that. This is that ultra-wide shot, 4k 60 frames a second out of the iPhone 12 Pro, whereas the 4k 60 frames, a second out of the pixel 4 a5g, doesn't have the ability to have the ultra-wide. It does have the ability to do that on the 4k 30 frames.

A second it just does not have the ability to do that on the 4k 60. So that's definitely an advantage for the iPhone look. The iPhone is touted as the best smartphone video camera. That's out there, and I have the 12 pro. I don't even have the 12 pro max, which everybody talks about actually being a little better.

I fully intend that the iPhone 12 Pro should probably beat the Pixel 4a 5g when it comes to how the videos are. But I got to be honest with you: it costs twice as much so, let's flip this camera around and talk about that so yeah, the iPhone 12 Pro is a thousand bucks. It is a thousand dollars as a thousand dollars. You're going to get, whereas the Pixel 4a 5g is 4.99, so half the price of the iPhone 12 Pro. So I have to ask this question: when you're looking at these side by sides hearing what you're hearing out of the microphones seeing what you're seeing out of the 4k 60 4k 30 and even the 1080p that you're seeing here in the front, is that truly worth 500? More now I will say this: the 4a 5g is bigger.

It's more much more. The XL variety of the pixel devices that you've seen in the past, whereas the iPhone 12 Pro, is a little smaller, not a lot, but just a little. So if you're, a big phone kind of person- and you don't really care about ecosystem, I could see why you would go with the Pixel 4a 5g but, like I've, said in all my other comparison- videos, if you're in the Apple ecosystem, you're, not missing out by jumping ship and going to the pixel ecosystem and vice versa, if you're in the pixel ecosystem. The best news for you is the fact that for 500 bucks you can get 90 to 95 percent of the quality, probably closer to 90, 90 percent of the quality in video and still the best point-and-shoot camera. And so let's go take some pictures and talk about why.

I still think the pixel is the best point: shoot camera that's out there, so, so now that you've looked at some shots, I actually believe the shot with me specifically in the park. I thought the iPhone did a better job. They missed the spot up in the hair. Up with the pixel 4 a5g, but pretty much, everything else was mostly my preference in terms of the way that the pixel looked when shooting those shots. One thing about the iPhone 12 Pro.

I still have trust issues when it comes to that portrait mode that one shot where I had to get that little red blood. Looking thing on the tree, I had to stand there and take that portrait shot three times, because I kept saying move forward, move backwards, move forward move backwards, whereas it was a first time shot with the pixel. So again, the pixels this year in 2020 still the king. When it comes to portrait modes, all the other shots were basically down to preference. Do you prefer the warmer colors and things the more yellowish and warm type feel in the iPhone? Or do you prefer the colder more contrast photos that you're getting with the pixel device? Most point shoots: 50, 50, basically preference portrait.

For me, I like the way that the pixel really did well again, that one shot that missed with me, but it was just a little of retouch up in my hair, and it was pretty much perfect, and it's mostly because the hair is the same color of the branches that were behind me does that justify spending 500 more and at the end of the day. This is where it comes down to if you're going to get an iPhone you're going to get an iPhone you're not going to miss anything by going to a pixel. If your team pixel you're not missing anything on the iPhone side, I still don't believe that the whole airdrop iMessage thing is enough for somebody to specifically stay in an ecosystem for the average person. If you checked out my live show where I actually had my sisters on, they go into kind of explaining that that's not some stuff that they look for, and they are legitimately the average consumers. What do they look for? Well, if you go back to that live show and look.

They talk specifically about price. So with that in mind, the 4a 5g at 500 bucks is a heck of a deal because you're getting lots and lots of quality for half the price out of the iPhone 12 Pro. That's it that's all I have thanks for watching and, as always as share subscribe thumbs up, leave a comment below. We will see you next time.
