The Pixel 3a Camera: Revisited By Team VRY

So as far as smartphones are concerned, I started off this year with the Google Pixel 3a. I've been hearing a lot about how exceptional the phone was in regard to its price performance and the overall value that offered which motivated me to get one and as such I really enjoyed using the phone and though I now use the pixel 4 as my daily driver, I can still appreciate the Pixel 3a for what it is: a reliable android phone with a great camera, and, to be honest, I still use the Pixel 3a today. Yes, it can still take great photos compared to a lot of android devices out there, and while there are some limitations to what it can do, I think it still holds up well as far as cameras and smartphones go. So once again, let's talk about the Pixel 3a camera. Alright. So for this, video I'll show some photos which I've taken over the course of several months while using the Pixel 3a.

Let's start with some standard photos, I rather appreciate that the Pixel 3a can get great photos in most situations. More often than not, you can get good dynamic range, which is something that a lot of smartphones today still struggle with. Of course, if you're using an expensive flagship smartphone, then the dynamic range issue becomes an effortless affair, but if you take into consideration the low price and specs on the Pixel 3a, then this is definitely a phone that you want to take photos with more often, the same goes for contrast and exposure. Google's image processing software usually does a great job with balancing lighting on photographs. Saturation also strikes a good balance on this device.

Of course, I'll admit that this can be a subjective discussion. Some people will probably prefer the saturation that you get on pictures from, say a galaxy device, for example, while on the other hand, some will be quite content with what the pixel 3 offers with that said, I do prefer the level of warmth that google's camera software gives photos as they do have a more natural look to them. The level of sharpness on photos is also impressive. Now, when you are indoors, this does tend to vary so a bit of light when available always helps in general. However, I'm still impressed with the level of low light photos that you can get on the Pixel 3a now portrait mode on the pixel.3A is probably my most favorite camera feature on this phone. It's a big part of why I continuously enjoy using the device, and it certainly does a good job of getting a great looking portrait shots, which is even more impressive, considering that they were taken on a smartphone edge.

Detection works decent for the most part, and while there are moments that do leave a lot to be desired, once you see the final result of your photos, you have to remember that you're working with a 12 megapixel single lens camera there's bound to be hardware limitations, and this is understandable. Even on the front. Camera portrait mode looks impressive. Overall, portrait mode is a joy to use and the fun of getting good-looking shots without much effort, never wears off. Next up.

Let's move on to some indoor shots compared to a lot of other smartphone cameras, indoor shots on the pixel 3, look good contrast is decent in general and photos. Look a lot better compared to the quality you get on a lot of others. Similarly, priced android phones, as expected, grain, isn't much of an issue here, as the pixel makes the most of whatever light is available in your surroundings, but there are times when the brightness tends to look off. Overall, though you can get some great indoor shots on this phone night side is rather impressive as well. Now I'm not saying that this is the perfect feature.

They'll put all other camera smartphones to shame, but rather it's a welcome addition to the array of software features on the Pixel 3a camera. Of course there are some trade-offs, such as dynamic range and the obvious level of brightness to photos, but it still manages to make nighttime scenery look good. Now, let's talk about the video quality on this phone again, you have to understand the hardware limitations of the pixel 3s camera sensor. For the most part, however, video is good. You can shoot clips at 60 frames per second at 1080p resolution or at 4k resolution with a 30 frames per second trade-off in general.

Videos look good, and I really find that the video stabilization on this phone is impressive. All these clips were shot handheld, and I never felt the need to use a gimbals or any other stabilization method when taking videos. Additionally, you get other video features like slow motion and time-lapse. Modes. Video on the front camera is another story, though.

Yes, you can still get good stabilization, but the dramatic changes in exposure and contrast do affect images at times. It's things like these, which remind you that the Pixel 3a is still first and foremost a mid-range device, alright. So in closing, yes, I do think that the Pixel 3a is still a great camera phone. Google has made some nice improvements and changes in the camera department for this year's Pixel 4a. But honestly, the pixel 3 is still a reliable device when it comes to mobile photography.

Perhaps an issue I do have is the lack of a manual or pro settings mode in the camera app, and it would have been nice to see it on here with all that said, however, it's got unique camera software, which sets it apart from the rest of the competition and makes a strong case for its continued presence in the android landscape. Again folks, I do appreciate you guys for checking out this video for more videos check out team very here on YouTube and once again, thanks for watching.
