    I don’t think people are giving Google enough credit for how much they’ve improved video recording on android. That was my biggest take away; aside from the comparison being closer than people probably thought it would be. iPhone still has the edge in this case of course (at double the price it should be expected).

Sound quality - whether stereo, speaker phone, or call sounds; durability of screen and frame, emergency alert options, compatibility, memory, speed, battery life etc. Such things are not quite universal with all smart phones just yet.

    lol the Pixel 7a doesn't just take good photos "for a $500 phone", it takes good photos, period, at any price point. It honestly took better photos than the 14 PRO in a majority of the comparisons in this video. Apple's dynamic range is still wonky. The 7a almost always had a better balanced exposure in almost every shot. One thing I noticed was that the iphone way overprocessed the brick road in the cityscape shots like at 10:12. I think the 14 pro got crushed by the 7a in this comparison for photos. I also don't think that the 7a is all that far behind in the video department either.

  • @philipcooper8297
    @philipcooper8297 Рік тому +4

    The Apple seems to push for much more aggressive contrast, sharpening and colour saturation, which is what most of the people want. For photographers, the Pixel images will seem more life like, in other words accurate. That being said, both phones do a good job and the IQ settings can be adjusted to your likings on both devices.

  • @dragonseye00
    @dragonseye00 Рік тому +5

    It's truly impressive what Google managed to pull off on the pixel 7a mainly by software tweaks. Daytime selfie video seemed to be more stable and less "stuttery" on the pixel, in general the iPhone is better in the video department, moreso at night. But the pixel is very close, especially considering it's half the price! And then in the picture department... Actually it looks like like many of the pictures came out better on the pixel (excluding the telephoto of course, digital zoom rarely will beat optical zoom). I'm not an iPhone /Apple Fan, but not a Google fanboy either I have to say, sometimes I thought about buying an iPhone just for the video quality. I did often buy expensive phones , but I'm not willing anymore to pay more than 800 euros for a phone in general. And I got to say, for the 500 euros the pixel 7a is actually crazy good and I'm now even more convinced that I'll buy this, instead of a Samsung s23 ultra, a honor magic 5 pro, or a Xiaomi 13 pro. The only phone that seems like a great deal in every way is the one plus 11, so I'm still a little bit in doubt, hesitating between those two.

    Iphone was better, but Pixel came surprisingly close. Some items the pixel had more realistic colors, while color on other subject matters got washed out.

Still trying to see if you have videos that would give me a better idea of astrophotography and stage/auditorium recording. Also, video image quality is certainly important, but I'd also be interested in sound quality comparison of the same videos and devices.

      I look at the Pixel 7a mainly being bought by non-iPhone users, probably 95% of sales will be coming from Android, so a pointless comparison for me. But in the UK the S23U is £1400 for the 12GB model so the £450 Pixel 7a destroys the S23U in value and probably as good on cameras than the S23U primary and ultra-wide, so Android users should save a lot of money and get a Pixel 7a over the overpriced S23U?

    What make iphone cameras more attractive, its not because of the hardware, rather I think something got to do with the color contrast that turned out being more vibrant and slight higher contrast. It has slight 'depth' with color of the pictures taken.
    Whereas therest of the phones, including google / samsung, the color turned out to be flatter.
    This doesn't mean that pictures taken with iphones is closer to what we see in real life, rather, I believe it has done some 'elevation' in color so the picture looks nicer for the eye. Probably Apple did study what kind of color combination human eye like to see.....
