Google Pixel 4a 5G vs iPhone 12/iPhone 12 mini Camera Comparison

[@elliotbaltazar]

Fantastic comparison video! The format, presentation, and editing were all next-level! Thank you.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, very much appreciated! 🙏

[@egcozinon]

Thank God someone finally did a low light (nightmode) video test on pixel 4a 5G. THANK YOU!!!

[@GrantLikesTech]

Glad you found it helpful

[@rkgsd]

Bottom line: Is the iPhone 12 worth paying $350 more? Hell no!

[@mocha6315]

Google's computational photography is on another level. Just for the photos that sky in it, Apple's software make it more blueish which is a bit more pleasant to see.

[@criggthekid]

Exactly! If google could keep the same great high dynamic range but make the skys more blue like Apple they would have the perfect photo! The HDR on the pixel is so much better than apples but that blue sky is a major issue on pixels. I own both and don’t know which one I really prefer

[@OldRacingGames]

This was a really well done comparison. I think it has sold the Pixel to me. The iPhone seems to have greater clarity during the daytime, but when the light levels are low, the Pixel outshines it in every way. And then there's the price difference.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, Pixel is definitely tough to beat for sure.

[@soulfury123]

I'd agree although the iPhone does much better with the lights in the background. The Pixel dark mode lights are not as sharp. Also the iPhone seemed just a hair more stable while moving. Otherwise hard to tell that much difference. Thanks for the comparison, very well done!

[@cvtechreview]

Man you do the best detailed Picture/Video Test & Picture/Video Comparisons. Keep up the great work and looking forward to watching more camera comparisons.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thank you sir! Look forward to seeing more of your videos as well.

[@carlosbarross]

It feels like Google photos are more natural, that's why I think it is the best and I also had an iphone 12 and the photos always looked a little bit saturated and yellowish.

[@raunakchawla2862]

Won't anyone comment on how the audio recorded in pixel was so damn good and crisp.

[@katiefunk4198]

This video was very helpful, my digitizer went out on my iPhone mini 12 and i had to buy a new phone but I'm broke. i by chance ended up getting a pixel 4a 5g on backmarket with 128 gb in excellent condition for only 100 bucks! just setting the phone up n ow and came across your video and as a photo enthusiast I am very excited with my purchase. Thank you!

[@KompongpreshMonastery2023]

Pixel my favorite phone, Apple gets out away

[@GrantLikesTech]

We all have our preferences, which is the nice thing about all this.

[@Mr_Kosta_]

All the photos looked blurry to me because I couldn't stop bopping my head to the music. 😀🎶 Oh well, guess I'll have to rewatch it from the start 😀

[@GrantLikesTech]

Was it the music or too much cider? 😉

[@svenskbonbon]

I still have an iPhone 6s LOL ( I’m an Android girl but it was a gift), not upgrading any time soon... but I love your comparisons. Very detailed!

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks! Smart move, no need to upgrade if it still works for you.

[@Paulina_]

This video is EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you!

[@wolfgangtraxl812]

Perfect comparison. Thank you ;-)

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@adeniyiajayi756]

Great review man! Pixel 4a 5G is more detailed to me though iPhone is not bad either but in video department, iPhone handles it better

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks! Definitely can't go wrong with either.

[@iputhescrewinthetuna]

But the audio on the iPhone video tho🤔

[@delfisditti]

I still in love with my pixel first Gen. But the Batterie is not so great. IT IS 6 years already, and still awesome ❤

[@klncow]

Great comparison! I liked the pixel best overall. Even on the video. I liked the colors and sharpness on the pixel better with video although the apple had better stabilization. The pixel seemed to be more true to life to me,which i like better. I would like to buy a pixel 6xl phone if they make one with decent specs.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thank you, and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. Can't wait to see what Google does next too.

[@akashsxo]

Iphone is always on a warmer side,increased contrast & Pixel is always close to natural contrast.

[@TikiMtlcre]

Awesome comparison!! Good job ;)

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

[@rishasarkar]

Apple photos are colorful while pixel's photos are appealing

[@nandanaufal4032]

u did really great job. thank you

[@Xdc5]

I like the slightly brighter colors on Iphone but hey, I've got the Pixel at 1/3 the price of the Iphone

[@ZidChina]

Never have I seen such detailed and amazing video comparaison in KZbin. Such a hard work and the ideas r top notch. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Keep up d gd work.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@tefynadine8032]

I use iPhone for 4 years now and i got my first pixel 4a 5g yesterday, i hope i don’t regret it lol , thanks a bunch

[@JAY-vy6vr]

How's the pixel so far??

[@FundedTrader]

now this is a proper comparison video, thanks a bunch! I wonder if by taking the pictures in RAW with the Google Pixel 4a the result can be even better? or you did so already? with video iPhone wins, but shooting videos on phones is still a bit of a waste of time in my opinion.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, RAW could be better since you can post edit to your liking. I personally haven't tried it as I don't do any post editing myself.

[@ruolov1]

I like to take zoom photos so which one should I get. Farwaway photos and videos...which one is better do you think?

[@akashsxo]

Really really great comparison,specially taking the shots of the same things in both day & night.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@kubacentala3189]

Amazing comparison !

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@lianaenbey]

If you had to choose between the Pixel 4a 5g, the iPhone XS and the new iPhone SE strictly for the camera, which would you choose? (iPhone 11 and 12 are out of budget for me)

[@GrantLikesTech]

Pixel

[@antonidea3661]

Pixel, i used xs and pixel 4a 5g..i am prefer to pixel

[@akashsxo]

Straigh above Pixel is King in Night,no one can beat it's quality

[@bendror8302]

Thanks Grant, the iPhone and the Pixel with almost identical pictures, I actually less like the fact that the Pixel becomes like an iPhone, The images have become too processed and less natural than the previous Pixels, in my opinion the Pixel 2 had the best camera.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks Ben! Always appreciate you chiming in.

[@MH-ex9vx]

Pixel 4a 5G has only one mistake and it is its size! 😏 If Classic pixel 4a had ultrawide camera it would be perfect deal for 349€ 😕

[@ranyodhsandhu4636]

Excellent comparison

[@tomaszwaszka3394]

0:35 ...photo on the left (by Pixel) your dog looks older... I don't know why... but it is... Greetings from Poland. Your videos are very helpful :)

[@karthykrajan6329]

I checked and I think the iPhone picture showing the dog older.

[@Sunnyking77]

10:40 Pixel💥💥💥💥💥

[@abdlh987]

I take more photos when i have the pixel compared to the iphone. The iphone tends to produce a warmer and different colour of the skin tone.

[@nakshipolly5666]

I am speaking from Bangladesh. Name a medium budget mobile for mobile video +editing +battery +performance?

[@gbalcombe]

Subbed due to name.. dont let us grant's down now! 😂 🙌🏾🤜🏿🤛🏾

[@natsufire1667]

Pixel 4a 5g -photos ,as well as 1080p video rear, iphone 12 for all its so called glory, 4k video in front camera only its better at. Too bad i will never afford both anyways. But yeah pixel 4a 5g beat iphone 12 in camera department for me.

[@onkar351]

sir, why didn't you cover 4k 60 fps on both :/ only point that felt disappointing

[@silentnook4371]

iPhone photos look so artificial and oversaturated in most cases in comparison with the Pixel. Watching your video on my Pixel 4a5g btw🌚 But for video recording i would prefer the iPhone, for its great stabilization.

[@shikharpandey]

Should I also go for it?

[@ManhNguyen-tp5zg]

Audio on pixel louder and clearer so much

[@ethansatterly3446]

The 4a 5g feels so nice in my hand. But NOTHING compares to the first gen pixel design. It was so nice.

[@GrantLikesTech]

That slightly curved back it had to hide the camera bump was interesting. I remember a lot of people giving it grief for that though.

[@andredegelder7383]

Pixel beats the 12 but both camera's are really good. Vids of iphone are better, but wow pixel made a giant leap forward. The vids are really good now. But i prefer android over Apple. Plus my 4a5g costs me 400 euro and the 12 (128 Gb) is 1000 euro's! One question, do U know what framerate the pixel has on cinegraphic video? Thx again!

[@GrantLikesTech]

Pixel video has certainly improved and it's tough to beat them at their prices this past year.

[@sabershahriarfahim8282]

Cinematic pan shoots at 24 fps

[@sakkasper8870]

Can u include both phones with flash on just want to see the skin toon difference and low light performance

[@GrantLikesTech]

I'll see what I can do for future videos, but honestly I personally don't like using flash as it pretty much always ruins the photo.

[@stefanosa5050]

Between pixel 4a 5g and iphone 12 which do u prefer in selfies and portraits?

[@GrantLikesTech]

Pixel all day

[@stefanosa5050]

@@GrantLikesTech Thanks a lot man!

[@rollyvillaruel5815]

Pixel 4a 5g is more natural while iphone 12 is vibrant ang high dynamic ranged

[@syimang]

Iphone is a king in videos. Pixel in still photos. This video proved it.

[@musicismysaviour22yearsago]

How do your pics look like that on the 4g mine look all grainy

[@sabershahriarfahim8282]

The Pixel demolishes the iPhone in my opinion

[@goodwinarmy2008]

Google p 4a 5g .which display colour better

[@budgetgadgetsg]

1st to comment... another great review , pixel4a my choice :)

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks as always!

[@Lekshmi24]

I am thinking to buy pixel but worried about the video stabilization. I do tiktok and my Samsung 10s plus shoot terrible front camera videos.. laggy movements and my videos were very much unstable. Is pixel good in recording front camera videos

[@GrantLikesTech]

I think Pixel video is pretty good, others may disagree. Sadly iPhone may be the best for video, especially for social apps.

[@gautampatel8757]

Best phone is Google pixel & best camera in Google pixel

[@florine846]

Is there a setting to make the colors more vibrant on the Pixel in case I want to?

[@GrantLikesTech]

There's basic display settings for Boosted and Adaptive, but no fine tune controls.

[@iputhescrewinthetuna]

@@GrantLikesTech isn't there an option to edit these after in photos?

[@silvercomet5330]

@@iputhescrewinthetuna yes, there is.

[@UchebNollytv]

iPhone images are more saturated. I think pixel is better

[@stefanosa5050]

Bro help . I just got a 4a 5g and selfie beautifies me a bit without beautify mode on. Do u know anything i can do?

[@GrantLikesTech]

All you can do is turn off face retouching. Doesn't smooth out my skin I that setting.

[@剑傅]

I'm gong to change my iphone 11 to pixel 4a 5g. Is a good deal?

[@GrantLikesTech]

Depends why you want to change. Very different phones.

[@davenzo3801]

Audio much better on PIxel

[@LuisketosOficial]

El pixel tiene colores más reales. El Iphone los satura mucho.

pixel potrait mode is more DSLR like

Whats up with that yellow-green phlegm-like casting on all iphone pics and videos?

a 700 hundred dollar phone cant beat a 450 dollar phone. Wow

Hello from Ukraine audio is good on pixel

[@GrantLikesTech]

Welcome, yes it is!

[@JD-fk4qq]

More and more, the 4a is quite the bargain

[@GrantLikesTech]

It definitely is!

[@carpediem1724]

Pixel has the best camera. Iphone has the best video

[@the-photographer6086]

I feel the iPhone 12 is the better camera. While it costs more there is noticeable differences in daylight with more vibrant and brighter colors from the iPhone. The pixel 4a (5G) can not compete.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Always in the eye of the beholder. iPhone is great, but I personally feel the Pixel competes very well.

[@drbeardo6960]

iPhone wins here But it has got almost the fastest chip inside so far I'll get a pixel once it starts providing video quality comparable to iphones

[@Koushi82]

wow... pixel > iphone hands down.

[@Jamal-gu5nw]

Overall the Pixel 4a 5G performs little bit better in zooming, nightmode and portraid mode but iPhone 12 can better scale ultraweight Pictures, in Video both are very close, finaly it´s a Question of Android or iOS😎

[@ruolov1]

I have to get a new phone cause of AT&T. I don't know which one to pick the pixel 4a 5g, pixel 5 5g or iPhone 12 mini or regular iPhone 11.

[@tomaszwaszka3394]

10:18 Pixel stabilization is much better, but overall image looks better on Iphone...

[@buiphat20790]

iPhone far way better of colour and contrast. Pixel shoot way to flat for mah taste

[@Shaco.f]

Imo the iPhone feels a bit to blurry with the background and no natural colour
