Tpying this from a pixel 7a and i bought this device only for the camera and google software experience. Love it honestly. I usually take a picture, if its dull (bcoz of the environment), i go to edit and select dynamic. Google photos have superb editing options.
Me too. Been using it for a over a week now and the experience is unmatched. The camera is nice and sharp, performance is enough. Best part installations from play store are super quick, no lags whatsoever. I am loving mine so far.
These videos have been awesome! Started following your channel because I myself purchased a Pixel 7a and really like it and your camera comparisons are some of the best I've seen! Keep the good content coming man! New Sub btw
Steven, I absolutely LOVE how you review Pixels (particularly the 7a) from a photographer/videography perspective. I'm only a hobbyist, but the camera is one of the primary reasons that I choose my phones, and I just downgraded from the Pixel 6 Pro (which takes darn good pics but the connectivity is HORRIBLE) to the Pixel 7a, and I am just as pleased with the 7a as I have been with all other Pixels I've owned (Original, the P4, and the P6Pro). I most appreciate how you approach these types of review with an open mind, without allowing a bias for either iOS or Android creep in. PLEASE...keep up the great work!!!
@@ZuiverAirTechnologies Sometimes I stand a foot or two away from the subject and then use the 2x zoom on the 7a to reframe tighten up the focus, which also...sometimes...creates a nice boneh effect. Other times I'll just use the main lens and Portrait mode.
No. The wife has the 7a and its images are over processed. The Pro features are very limited meaning you really have to put up with what you get, whereas the iPhone gives you a lot more data to play with and you also have a more natural looking image.
@@LearnHax You get better screen, better build quality, better sensors, better speakers & mics, better support, longer OS updates support, better resale value and a more secure software experience with better apps. Even Google Maps is better on iOS.
I'm a pixel guy and still use my 5, will probably upgrade to the 8. But...I think googles image processing has got softer over the years. Used to have a more HDR detailed look that I preferred. I find the front camera especially on my pixel softer than older pixel models I have and less detailed. The images from the 7a look similar. Almost like there is skin smoothing or beautification going on even when turned off.
Bingo! Upgraded from pixel 2xl to pixel 6. Well I am disappointed to say the least. My pixel 2xl is sharp and gives better results as compared to pixel 6 which is soft in comparison.
This is a great insight about what a Google phone can do. Steven, can you also review the Sony Xperia 1 V and do a comparison? Thank you! Great video overall. 👏
@@StevenDivish yeah it's and we still have a pending video from you😁 lenses you used on the iPhone 14.i could still remember you said you will give it a try on the s23U
Pixel wins for me. I'm actually rather disappointed with the iPhone 14 Pro's cameras (I preferred 13 Pro). So I just got a Pixel 7a and I'm very happy. The only downside with Pixel 7a is video recording in low light - not one phone does it really well, but iPhone 14 Pro does better than Pixel 7a in this regard.
In my opinion these are small differences on camera come on people ya want a big difference on photo quality get ya a 5,000 dollar digital camera with expensive lenses
iPhone is for status and that's the only reason. It is a shame that even a cheap pixel take better picture. Sick of hearing iPhone iPhone. Ok you want it as a status symbol, that's fine but it is not the best phone in the world, not even close
Yes I agree, though some features on iPhone like airdrop make it better than others if you use Mac computers and laptops. But I’m just trying to weigh in on the camera’s capabilities objectively here
@@StevenDivish which phone take the best picture in your opinion? Pixel ? I think iPhone take better video than most android phone is true. Taking picture is another story. I am very impressed with my pixel 7 as a long term APS-C camera user. With a kit lens, it's IQ is worse than Pixel for sure. My only complain iis over-sharpened jpeg. I use DXO Photolab to de-sharp the jpeg a bit and it is perfect
2:14 *Iphone is blowing out the highlights.* Pixel's HDR is dope especially in photos. Those dual exposure HDR sliders and temp sliders make it more fun.
Yes it gets hot but nothing crazy from my experience that affected its performance. Though I might be living in not so hot climate, but I faced no problem.
I know it's a little late but a very good review, I don't know if you could tell me about the photos at night where the rays of neon and LED light hit the faces and good photos don't come out. On iPhone I know it doesn't happen much but on other brands it does. So I don't know if this pixel 7a handles the rays of lights well like in bars and doesn't cover faces.
Iphone shoots too dark, Samsung shoots too bright, Pixel is a somewhat happy medium. Ironically the truest to color phone Ive seen and had is the Galaxy s20FE. But the newer Samsungs are too artificially bright.
With the portrait mode the iPhone can actually adjust photos taken in portrait mode later on. Different blur, even disabling it. But it cannot make a portrait photo from something that never has been portrait...
I have watched several reviews of Pixel 7a but this on is the best.,!!! I have seen Pixel 7a's have some battery issues and phone getting hot and camera shutting down issues? I am confused if I should buy this phone (just for the camera) ? will S21 Ulta ( non FE ) will be a good choice or OnePlus 10 Pro?
It's not really hard to tell if an image is a pixel Just look at the saturation in colors like red, blue and yellow and some other colors. Iphone tends to have darker contrast and Pixel, more saturation
Google pixel did great noice cancellation job, video quality was not so bad either compared to iphone 14 pro, So pixel7a its really a value for money phone !
you should just go buy pixel 6a, its now less than 250$... the price depends if you find enough, i got mine 239$ on my local internet store with shipping included
Almost non human subjects look good in almost all phones now a days but real test should be done on humans and on night time or day can you do that just for pixal (and what about gcam on other phone how close the photos of gcam come to real pixel)
Is pixel the only phone that let u change white balance in main photo app (not in pro mode). I think so. very important to me. In Samsung if i go pro mode, picture lots the computation photography (no HDR)
Hmm..I can not say on behalf of all phones to be honest, but I love the option of adjusting the White Balance for photos and videos especially, it's a must have in my opinion!
Why is everyone posting "This software feature is game changing!"? Do you enter a contest or something if you post that? And if so, did I win? I'm super broke and need money for rent so that would be nice if I won.
The big difference in photos for Iphone is that it shows alot more clarity and details, it must be way more megapixels. The difference at 6:38 in details is huge
This is just very aggressive sharpening being applied here, not true details. It looks fake and terrible IMO. I prefer the less software sharpening in the Pixel photo. If you like over processed look to photos, it is easy to apply sharpening, but impossible to take it off an image.
Unfortunately not even remotely close to what the Pixel 7a offers…on iPhone you can adjust only blur strength on the photos that you took in portrait mode. On the pixel you can make a portrait shot out of any photo, change not only the blur strength but also control the focal point what is in focus and what’s not…

Can you suggest me the best Mobile for better camera? I can't afford 15 pro or 15 pro Max. But I guess I can afford most of other mobiles.
Can more affordable options like the Pixel 7a challenge the camera experience of the pricier iPhone 14 Pro? What do you think?
this video proves YES big yes

🐦 Thank you for watching!
This software feature is game changing!!! 🔥
Absolutely agree! if only iPhone had it...maybe they will give it to the users with the next generation of iPhone 15
I'm a pixel guy and still use my 5, will probably upgrade to the 8. But...I think googles image processing has got softer over the years. Used to have a more HDR detailed look that I preferred. I find the front camera especially on my pixel softer than older pixel models I have and less detailed. The images from the 7a look similar. Almost like there is skin smoothing or beautification going on even when turned off.
I noticed this as well ony 5a, the selfies look so smoothed on the face and it always looks much clearer in the viewfinder
Absolutely true man. I am using the pixel 6 pro, and most of the time, the images look kinda like painting pictures
Bingo! Upgraded from pixel 2xl to pixel 6. Well I am disappointed to say the least. My pixel 2xl is sharp and gives better results as compared to pixel 6 which is soft in comparison.
Because of tensor soc , snapdragon isp is better than the new tensor models
Switch to raw image you will get the best shot in hdr . You'll find it under folder name RAW. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BUY NEW PIXEL 8.
It will be much better to add a low light comparison too! Great video anyways!
Thanks for the tip!
Low light comparison is what shows the true power of how good a camera is
@@davisgeorge7926 Yea these reviewers are so bad to not even cover the most important thing lol

Pixel wins coz it got much better image processing, software fact dude.
yes

Thank you for all the good works 🔥❤
Pixel audio definitely sounds a little muffled compared to iphone, however it does a much better job at canceling out the background noise.
Yes I noticed that in the shop. Loudspeakers not good.
yes!
Yeah i definitely prefer the pixel im going invest in a pixel 7 a have been mulling it over
I think it's because of noise cancellation at work, with iPhone you can hear much background noise of vehicles Where as pixel 7a it filtered it out!
Brought me in with the suggestions for video exposure. Nice! 👍🏿
Awesome! Thank you!
Such an underrarted channel. More power to you brother!
Thank you!!
Really love this comparison/review!
I've got the pixel 6a for my work and am amazed how great the quality of the camera's and software is.
Super informative and helpful 🍁 Sub immediately 🥳
You should do an Xperia 1 V, it has bad auto processing but on manual mode it unlocks a beast.

Yes I agree, they really nailed the software part of the phone too! The tech Feels ahead of its time almost
Pixel 7a voice is good
Yes helps to cancel out the city noise as well some wind noise! what do you think about the image quality between the 2?
In my opinion these are small differences on camera come on people ya want a big difference on photo quality get ya a 5,000 dollar digital camera with expensive lenses
titled *nerdy camera comparison* but actually a very generic comparison lol
I agree with your conclusion, the reality is that they are pretty close, no reason to pay twice the price.

at the end he just forgot abt the iPhone and started explaining the pixel lmaoo

Took a lot of time and effort to get it done and test the Pixel 7a in different scenarios. Thank you for coming back for the video, means a lot to me!
Can you plz give me iPhone 14pro plz😢
Nice! #teampixel here. Save your money, guys! Be wise.
A new subscriber, btw!
Awesome! Thank you!
so we will just ignore the fact that the flagship phone lacks in any audio isolation feature and a mid range 7a cancels 80% of any noise?
The software before was much more aggressive in hdr Now it is very subtle wanting to do more embellishment than it really is.
I'm thinking of buying it these days, have you experienced the overheating issues I've read about online?? (about pixel phone)
Yes it gets hot but nothing crazy from my experience that affected its performance. Though I might be living in not so hot climate, but I faced no problem.

f you are showing the camera's capabilities, then you don't need to use a gimbal. After all, this is biased!
Iphone shoots too dark, Samsung shoots too bright, Pixel is a somewhat happy medium. Ironically the truest to color phone Ive seen and had is the Galaxy s20FE. But the newer Samsungs are too artificially bright.
The HDR ON THE PIXEL IS UNBELIEVABLE 2:20
I love your videos
Man you’re good 👍
Thanks for watching!
And the pixel 6a can even be picked up for 300 bucks
Camera selfie của google rõ ràng bị lỗi trong việc lấy nét, trong khi các tòa nhà đằng sau nhìn còn rõ hơn mặt bạn😂
I’m waiting for the low light photography comparison part.
Anyone else?
With the portrait mode the iPhone can actually adjust photos taken in portrait mode later on. Different blur, even disabling it. But it cannot make a portrait photo from something that never has been portrait...
Peacock is a paid actor.
In Video Department Apple Still Have No Competition. Android Video is Trash!!
Would you please tell me any green line or white line issues in google pixel 7pro,7a or 7 please repl
Can you lock the exposure but leave autofocus active in the video mode on the Pixel?
very good comparison and this video is great for me coz I'm going to buy a Pixel 7a and pair it with my iPhone 14 Pro!

this comment is for my own reference and help when i buy pixel 7 so please ignore
I have watched several reviews of Pixel 7a but this on is the best.,!!!

It's depend on your need... Like if u want good photos then go for pixel otherwise Samsung
Good work bro 👍
What about battery timing..🤔
Thank you! I’m not a heavy phone user so iPhone used to last me about 1.5-2 days. Pixel is good for a full day

Thank you so much! I used Sony 7iv for this video! Now I also got the ZVE10 so I will be using it as well onwards
Please Do a Google Pixel 7 pro vs Samsung S23 Ultra & mention me 🔥
This is the best camera review ever🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I use a pixel 7 and I have learnt a lot about my phone today. Thanks man.
Thank you for your feedback, enjoy the phone!
That turtle neck is weird. Your head is like in the air.
It's not really hard to tell if an image is a pixel
Just look at the saturation in colors like red, blue and yellow and some other colors.
Iphone tends to have darker contrast and Pixel, more saturation
I have a pixel 6. I always knew that you can adjust exposure, temperature, brightness but i never knew you can lock it😂😅
Awesome! I also learn something new everyday. Glad it was helpful 😊
i would say its unbalanced camera comparison bcz you are more prioritizing pixel and video shoot from iPhone not even included properly....
Google pixel did great noice cancellation job, video quality was not so bad either compared to iphone 14 pro, So pixel7a its really a value for money phone !
My god 😂😂 on the first blind test i was like dawn for sure A is Apple cause A looks better and boom Pixel 7a what a suprise !!!
😄
imagine a phone with iphone camera hardware and pixel camera software,
you should just go buy pixel 6a, its now less than 250$... the price depends if you find enough, i got mine 239$ on my local internet store with shipping included
Rule of thumb: if you look like cherry, its an iPhone
I LIKE IPHONE RESULTS. PIXEL HAS SO MUCH CONTRAST AND TOO MUCH DETAILS. THAT'S NOT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WANT. IT'S WHAT MAKES THE PHOTO MAKES YOU FEEL.
Pixel is like shut up and take my money deal ❤
It’s crazy that you have peacocks in your city. We have pigeons and crows, maybe some sparrows here and there. That’s sick.
Iphone is 2.5 near 3x the cost now....7a is an easy choice
Almost non human subjects look good in almost all phones now a days but real test should be done on humans and on night time or day can you do that just for pixal
(and what about gcam on other phone how close the photos of gcam come to real pixel)

my phone cost $160, but it takes good pictures in general))) I bought an iPhone for my relatives, they seem to like it. I myself am still thinking...
Here I made my mind I will go with pixel 7a and its on my budget ☺️ thankyou bruh😎

iPhone is better although pixel is value for money
The big difference in photos for Iphone is that it shows alot more clarity and details, it must be way more megapixels. The difference at 6:38 in details is huge
iphone has better optics, pixel has better software
This is just very aggressive sharpening being applied here, not true details. It looks fake and terrible IMO.
I prefer the less software sharpening in the Pixel photo.
If you like over processed look to photos, it is easy to apply sharpening, but impossible to take it off an image.
I like you, you look cute and so was the peacock😀
Well I would prefer pixel over Iphone. I got almost same quality with half of this price.
A great photo can be taken with any phone you want, just study how to take it.
The phone itself can't make a difference, the photographer does.
I really love pixel phones but the charging speed is low for me
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to buying a pixel 7a in the near future.
What ?!! That midrange phone is game changer
Pixel.
Yes 😁
iPhone 14 pro has the ability to edit the blur level and portrait lighting in portrait mode too
Unfortunately not even remotely close to what the Pixel 7a offers…on iPhone you can adjust only blur strength on the photos that you took in portrait mode. On the pixel you can make a portrait shot out of any photo, change not only the blur strength but also control the focal point what is in focus and what’s not…
You can do that at pixel too.
Pixel has the same features- unblur, portrait light, portrait blur, skin tone, etc
I would rather save some cash and get the best still camera with Pixel 7A
8:36 I didn't know about this before😮
Thank you for saying🔥
No problem! Thank you for watching!
2:09 the audio sounds more natural on iPhone only because there's the sound reduction option not because it's better😅
in some angle, you look like TK.Strand from 911 Lonestar 😅
Please make a review on Xiaomi 13 pro. As far as I know, this phone also has a great camera coengineered with Leica.
Pixel 8 vs iphone 14 which one best for me?? Plz suggest me
Pixels are always warmer, iPhones cooler.
Video should be titled as only pixel and no iPhone 😂😂😂
