This "budget" Pixel 6a defeating all (and I mean ALL) the newer and more expensive iPhones, Samsungs and the Pixel Pro phones in terms of outright image quality is, for the lack of words, mind-blowing.

[@rupanorway5904]

But the performance is not good

[@Jan-xf8sk]

@@rupanorway5904 I'm talking about the camera and the image quality here. In other categories the 6a won't even hold a candle today in terms of battery life and yes, performance at some instances.

[@JR-hs4ir]

A true portrait photographer. Great work man!

[@TheJames-Edward]

The camera on here isn't a budget phone camera. It's been used for years on the Pixel's but they also have refined their camera software and this camera has gotten better. I can't wait to see how the Pixel 7a does because it will be getting a camera upgrade from this older one.

[@LisaOsta]

Thanks for the video. I got a pixel6a too. I primarily use iPhones but due to my work in IT I like to keep up with android as well. Google gave me $300 for my Pixel 3a so it was a no brainer to get the 6a plus the Google buds for less than $200. I haven’t tried RAW on it yet but I will due to your inspiration.

It's not magic of camera... It's Cameraman !!

[@pappuchak8605]

Can not... The pixel density of DSLR can not be matched...

[@marksouthwell4490]

They won't replace DSLR or mirror less. But they are pretty nifty in their own way . The best camera is the one you have on you at the time

[@truelectro]

I love the format of these videos. You show the capabilities of the cameras, you show us YOUR abilities and teach us some cool techniques as well! Dope!

[@frankw3123]

A proper comparison will be the regular iPhone 13. I have seen some comparisons with the pro max and it smoked the pro max when I came to photos. I think Pixels are still king of photography and dynamic range

[@LeeZavitz]

That’s the thing. The specs are closer to an iphone13 but the target buyer is of an SE price. So it’s hard to know what to compare it with

[@therecycledpirate]

I love how you show how you do it. Great review, your honesty is much appreciated.

[@slyfox8900]

I find it funny that people are complaining about the sensor in this device. Its the same as the pixel 3-5a. You're gonna get more or less the same looking photos. The biggest difference with this phone will be the video quality since its using Tensor to run google's HDR algorithm through the video capture. And the low light wont be as good as the 50mp Pixel 6. But even then its mostly noticeable in extreme low light situations. I did a detailed comparison video on my channel between the pixel 2, pixel 5 and pixel 6 last year if anyone is interested in seeing the results. It was quite shocking to see that even with the 50mp sensor the pixel 6 looked nearly identical to the pixel 2 in some cases. That IMX 363 sensor is old but if you shoot in raw there is a ton that can still be done with it and the image quality is fantastic.

[@onraj9mm]

Google proves that mobile photography is not about hardware but software!

[@davidletterboyz]

I have yet to watch your video. But I'm surprised with your last sentence because it holds true for other phones for RAW output. If we were to shoot RAW, then all the computational photography advantage of Pixel will be erased. It that case, why buy a Pixel?

[@slyfox8900]

@@davidletterboyz most people choose a phone for the phones feature but from a purely photography standpoint, i still think pixels take the best looking photos.

[@davidletterboyz]

@@slyfox8900 I mean if I were to shoot RAW on Pixel (which this video did), that will not have any Pixel's recipe of computational processing. In that case, I do not gain any advantage.

[@slyfox8900]

@@davidletterboyz that's not the case actually. Googles raw mode is what's called computational raw, which does all the same mult magic that their JPG processing does. It just doesn't apply the noise reduction, tone mapping, sharpening, etc. They leave that up to the user to define in post editing applications like Lightroom for example. Google's raw from pixels typical exhibits wider dynamic range than normal raw capture from say a DSLR, because they are merging different parts of the frame together from all the captured images before being combined to a final singular raw file

[@thelaundryman9287]

I broke my S20FE ultra a few months ago and have been stuck using an S9 Plus cus I didn't have the money to repair or replace. The only thing I'm looking for in a phone is a good camera as I like to take alot of pics. I was gonna buy the S23 since I have the means to purchase but I saw that video of Marques Brownlee reviewing all the 2022 releases with the ELO rating and the Pixel 6A camera was impressive, punching WELL above it's weight. I came across this video after looking into the 6A more and damn. The price and the photo quality you can get out of this phone is crazy. I am officially sold.

[@marksouthwell4490]

Probably the best pixel at the moment, in that it's more utilitarian in design compared to the 7's. The 7's are too fancy pants looking and blingy. Google have lost their way with the newer devices. I think the older sensor performs better . I don't rate the new sensor that much. Google haven't been able to replicate the success of the older sensor. I prefer using one of my older pixels for point and shoot photos ☺️

[@LeeZavitz]

Yeah it’s wild looking at photos from a pixel 2xl that destroy 6pro and 7pro. I don’t know what they changed but even portrait mode was better on older pixels
