Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Google Pixel 4a 5G Camera Comparison By Grant Likes Tech

Xiaomi's mi 11 pixel 485 g is Xiaomi's 108 megapixel camera enough to compete with Google's computational photography, let's find out how's everyone here, welcome back to the channel. It's another video and another camera comparison. So, if you're familiar with how you do these comparisons welcome back, but if you're new to the channel, I tend to like to show you as much footage from the cameras as possible to help you decide which of these two camera systems might be best for you. So I'll show you a bunch of photos and videos in both good and low light conditions, and we've got the Xiaomi mi 11 today up against the Pixel 4a 5g and the mi 11 packs that 108 megapixel main sensor and the pixel 45g tends to use the same 12 megapixel cameras that google has used in its previous pixel models. So we've got raw hardware with the Xiaomi up against Google's computational photography software in the pixel 4 a5g, which one's going to hold up, which one will win, which one will you prefer? Let's go ahead and take a look at the photos and videos and find out and uh so and uh, uh, so everyone, so we're in the park testing the video on the Xiaomi mi 11 and the Pixel 4a 5g. This is the main lens on each starting at 1080p, 30 frames per second, and starting out, at least in the viewfinder, the shadows and the trees over here.

A little darker on the me11 than what I'm seeing here on the 45g and the 45g is probably looking a little more realistic to what I'm seeing with my eyes. At least that's what I see through the viewfinder here, I'll just pan around. So you can see what these lenses look like here compared to each other, and I'll go ahead and pan over here to the right, and we'll test zoom out. So let's go ahead and tap to two times: digital there on the 4a 5g, and we can go into two times here on the me11 and I can go up to five times: digital zoom there on the pixel, and we can go all the way up to a max six times, digital there on the me11. So again at least what I'm seeing through the viewfinder, the pixel looks a little clearer, but they both look pretty stable, at least to my eye here and let's move out on the pixel and back out here on the 11.

Let's get back into one times here and there we go. So let's go ahead and test focus here on the post with the m11 first, and it's going to be a little more finicky from what I notice. Let's go ahead and see tapped there we go away and let's try focus there. You go so to get a distance right. It'll focus up pretty quick with the m11, otherwise tap the focus and should get you there like that and now with the pixel, and that focuses right up so autofocus a little better here on the pixel, and we'll go ahead and test stabilization here, as you walk down the stairs, and so both of you should be doing pretty well as far as stabilization and 1080p.

Here, of course, let me know if you're, seeing any kind of difference, and I'll go ahead and stop here and pan up into the sky to see how these cameras handle that bright afternoon. Sunlight everyone, so we're back with the same test this time in 4k, 30 frames per second on each phone here, and I'll pan around a little. So you can see the differences on each of these lenses here in 4k, panned down and up and again, at least in the viewfinder. The shadows are looking a little more lifted here on the m11 than it did in 1080p, but of course, right there. When I adjusted for that exposure, it's a little darker than the pixel, but anyway we'll just go ahead and pan over here to the right and test zoom again so have to get it two times on the pixel, and we can move into two times here on the mi 11 and full five times.

Digital zoom there on the pixel, still looking pretty clear and very steady in the viewfinder here, and we'll move all the way into mac's six times digital zoom there on the 11. , so we'll go ahead and back out on the pixel, and we'll go ahead and move it back out on the me11 as well. So let's go ahead and test autofocus here in 4k. So let's see if I can get the distance right on the m11, not quite wanting to focus up, but let's go ahead and tap, and it focused up so focus away and there we go focused up again, one more time, let's go ahead and tap, and it refocuses so a little finicky again with the v11 and pixel nice and snappy still here in 4k with the autofocus looking good. So, let's go ahead and test stabilization, this time in 4k, again, walk down the stairs and through this pathway here and again, they're both stabilized at 4k.

So this should still be looking fairly good, and again we'll stop and pull up here and pad up to see how each of these cameras handle that bright afternoon, sunlight in 4k, it hey everyone. So here's some footage from the front facing cameras on the mi 11 and the pixel 4 a5g. This is at 1080p 30 frames per second, which is the max resolution and frame rate on each obviously, I'm outdoors here, and I wanted to start out in some shade, because that's even lighting and probably the most optimal conditions. So this is about as good as you can see. The front-facing camera do here outdoors, but, as I pan around here, you'll start to see the light get a little tougher behind me there you can see what that does to the image quality and the sky behind me there, and I'll keep panning around.

So you can see what this looks like with some changing lighting conditions. Here the lights coming in front of me right now, and we'll just go ahead and start walking to test the stabilization. So let me know what you think of the front-facing cameras here on the mi 11 and the pixel 4a5g. So so so, hey everyone! So here's a quick low light test here on the meat 11 and the pixel 4 a5g. This is 1080p 30 frames per second, and, as you can see, it's a pretty well lit situation here, or at least decently lit.

I can point up at that really bright streetlight to see how each of these phones handle that bright light and in the viewfinder. The mi 11 is definitely flaring that out a lot more than the pixel is, but pretty much any phone is going to do that. It's just to what degree, because it's such an intense light there, but again me11, definitely flaring that out quite a bit more, and I'll go ahead and pan around this way, and we'll start walking to test the stabilization and also test out how these phones handle a light transition here from that fairly well area to a much darker here area here around the corner. So, as you walk further, it can get much darker, also pay attention to the stabilization, see if you see any kind of micro jitters which happens in darker situations and at least in the viewfinder, the pixel 4 a5g is definitely brighter and, depending on how you like to see your image, that's either good or a bad thing. Some may prefer to see a brighter looking video image, so they can see more of what they're shooting other people may want to look closer to life, even if, even if that means darker here so again, the viewfinder at least the m11- is looking more like what I'm seeing to my eye and the pixel is definitely brightening up that image.

A lot more we'll see how it looks like in post and, of course, when you do that, the Pixel 4a 5g definitely has a little more noise as a result of that, and I'll pan up here into the night sky and again, the m11 to the viewfinder is retaining that darkness. Although it's a little darker than what I'm seeing with my eye and the pixel 45g is definitely brighter with quite a bit of noise there, and I'll pan over here to the left, where there's a bit more light, so you can see what that looks like here on each of these phones and 1080p ever, so we're back with the same test this time in 4k, 30 frames per second on each phone again I'll pan over here. So you can see what this looks like here out in some fairly well lit situation here, with all these lights, and I'll go ahead again and pan up into that bright streetlight there and the mule 11 definitely still clearing that out more than the pixel, and we'll pan down this way and around. Here again. So you can see what the image quality looks like in this lighting situation, and again I'll pan over this way, and we'll start walking to test stabilization again this time in 4k, obviously as well to see how it handles light transition from that brighter area to this darker area, as 4k tends to be darker than the 1080p footage that you just saw so pay attention to that, and once again at least to the viewfinder, the pixel 45g definitely looking brighter, but certainly at the cost of some noise here, as well as blue or tinted skies, which you don't see too much on the pixels.

They tend to have corrected that blue sky issue, but at least the viewfinder is looking kind of bluish, not nearly as dark as I'm seeing with my eye, while the middle oven definitely is retaining that darkness I'll pan up into the night sky. As you can see what I'm talking about here, we actually have a few stars if you can see that a few twinkles and the m11 is still looking darker than what I'm seeing with my own eyes and the pixel 45g is definitely looking much brighter much noisier. So what I'm, seeing with my own eyes and what's true to life, is somewhere between these two phones, and I'll pan over here to the left. So you can see what that looks like with a little more light here with 4k and again me.11 is definitely looking darker than what I'm seeing here, and certainly a good amount of noise here on the pixel 485 g, but there's a video sample here in 4k everyone. So let's wrap this comparison up with some video from the front-facing camera here at night, and this is at 1080p 30 frames per second.

That is the max resolution and frame rate on each of these front-facing cameras here and even though it's at night. Obviously I'm in a bit of a fairly good lighting condition here, with all these lights around me just want to give you a sample of what it looks like here. You can see those same bright lights in the background and the front-facing camera is definitely handling that better than what I saw with the rear-facing cameras, and so let's go ahead and start walking to test stabilization and, at the same time, just like we did with the rear-facing cameras I'll start walking over into a darker area here. So you can see what happens as the light transitions from this fairly well lit area to a much darker situation. You can see how these front cameras handle that lighting and, as I walk here, you'll hear a fountain to my right, so we'll test the audio as well to see how it holds up against the background noise of that fountain and again, you can see it's a much darker area here, but if I pan around this way, you see a bunch of those streetlights behind me and again.

I think these front-facing cameras are handling it a little better than the rear. Although the time the pixel front-facing cameras are flaring that out a bit more than the m11s, but I'll go ahead and back over here. So you can end this video in a darker situation here, so you can compare that on each of these phones. So let me know what you think of the camera performance here on the mi 11 up against the pixel 485 g, which one did you like, which one did you prefer leave a comment down below and let's continue our conversation on there and as always, thanks for watching.
