OnePlus 8t vs Pixel 4a5g | I See You OnePlus...

[@nichobrooks]

Watching on my 4a 5g. This makes me happy

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Happy to help!

[@KozyKool2287]

One thing that just does not get talked about enough with Pixel phones is the extra T-security chip. I love the ability to be able to screen calls and having spam calls blocked without me worrying about it. I like both phones a lot but that was a deal breaker for me. You can't go wrong with either phone though.

[@egcozinon]

Whoa! Definitely the video i need!! Thanks a lot! I own the 8t,but i want to buy PIXEL 4a 5g also to be my backup phone...or to become my daily driver...who knows 😏

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Awesome!

[@BenSchinkel]

I just got the Pixel 4a 5G a few weeks ago and as far as performance goes... it's fast. It doesn't have the same power as the 8T but honestly it works great. Gaming is just fine. The screen isn't 90 or 120hz but it's buttery smooth. I've had 0 issues with performance. And the cameras are some of the best I've ever used... pictures and videos are A+. Battery is also killer. Add some Google Pixel Buds and you've got yourself a great setup.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

I am right there with you a thousand percent agree

[@MegaJdogg91]

How are the pixel buds i've been debating getting a pair but i've heard mixed reviews?

[@MrPanzerDragoon]

Love how you included your kids at the end. It's truth, I have a 2.75 year old son who is always on the move, you want to chairish those moments in the future and you need to have a camera that you can feel confident shooting with. One of the reasons why my wife still uses her Pixel 2. It was originally mine, but when our son came to our lives, it was important to capture the moments.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Thank you so much! And yeah, I love including the kiddos in videos every once and a while :)

[@andredegelder7383]

You helped me ordering the 4a5g:) upgrading from a pixel 3a. ✌️✌️

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Woot woot!

[@TweakMDS]

Overall I really like the processing on the pixel, but at 5:06 it's painfully obvious how "smart processing" can completely go nuts and get those overprocessed results people were doing with HDR tone mapping like 12+ years ago. When looking at my own photo's, it seems like I'm primarily taking medium/low light tungsten-lit photo's, which is a scenario where all phones suffer massively. I think I'll have to go with the Pixel for that though.

[@rishitjasani3146]

Dude, your videos are damn good but please add the same amount of time to photo comparisons as you give it to the video comparisons ❤

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Wow! I appreciate that, only reason I don't really do that is because I honestly didn't feel like people cared about that part. Thank you for commenting that, that actually makes me want to do that! Thank you!

[@rishitjasani3146]

@@TechnicallySpeaking thanks for the effort man. ❤ I suggested that because if you are reviewing pixel or any other phone, 80-85% people decide which phone to choose based on their photo processing in my opinion.

[@snipesentertainment9037]

I have the 8T because of specs and battery. The camera is ok to capture some moments. I will be upgrading to the pixel 6 in the fall if it has 120 refrsh rate.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Completely agree

[@flitzpieptv1902]

I love the out-zooming animation while switching to ultra wide at the pixel, it just doesnt look like switching lenses

[@flitzpieptv1902]

okay i'm choosing the pixel anyway but thanks for the nice video!

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Awesome!

[@itisfinished4U]

Exactly why I traded in my one plus 7 pro for the pixel 4a 5g, the one plus can take great pictures but it isn't a great just point and shoot camera like the pixel

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Agreed

[@dunktheball]

The stabilization was better with the pixel, but other than those times where moving it made the oneplus picture dimmer, the rest of the time it seemed to me that the pixel showed less details, ie objects were more crisp and well lit with the oneplus. I have a vision prob, though, but that's how it seemed to me. The main things worrying me about the pixel are the battery life tests showing it's poor there and also the 60hz refresh rate. But there's a deal on it for $250 with one carrier, so I don't know a lot of choice I have even close to that price range.

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

The battery life on the 4a5g is quite good honestly

[@flitzpieptv1902]

The mic of the Pixel is wayyyy crisper and idk just nicer

[@flitzpieptv1902]

Oh and sorry for these comments I just felt like I have to share this lol

I always had a galaxy but now i want to buy one of these two. The problem is that i can't decide which one i should buy... in my country the 8 gb version of the oneplus has the same price as the pixel. Since i mainly watch netflix and youtube i would pick the oneplus beacuse of the bigger and better screen. My problem is that i heard same bad things about the oneplus phones. Like screen turns green and the switch on the side breaks easily. On the other hand i really want to try stock android. That the pixel will get android 14 is also a big plus. The problem i have with the pixel is that i can't try it because no shop here have pixel phones. You can just order it online 😒

[@kratosdgo]

Pixel 4a 5g is great better than one plus 8t

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

Both are great, I just love the Pixel more

[@maxchopin409]

Better in what way ? Speed ? Performance ? Battery ? Charging ? Smoothness ? I'd say it's only slightly better on camera but you can install gcam on 8t and you'll see. Unless you need a compact smartphone oneplus 8t i just a better pick.

[@kratosdgo]

@@maxchopin409 better in everything speed, performance, battery and much more. I have boths but I love pixel 4a 5g

[@nikosBB07]

i really want to buy the pixel, at the moment i find them both at the same price of 480 euro, the price gap was a big advantage for the pixel , but now the vfm of the one plus seems to beat it at the same price..what do you think ?

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

I still personally would go with the 4A5g

[@predictor2045]

I saw 5a has remove Laser Auto Focus module (PDAF), I feel that will be a little be affect on low light focus performance. Anyway, I stick with 4a 5G 1st.

Hi, I'd really really appreciate a rapid reply. I got a OnePlus 8t but Snapchat had a lag of 3 seconds, really zoomed in and dreadful quality. Please please can you do a demo video or get in touch w me to talk personally about how Snapchat works on the pixel 4a 5g? Think it looks like a great phone but so worried about Snapchat!

[@aliciadearnaley3057]

I know Snapchat always has slightly lower quality on androids and I don't mind slightly lacking quality I just need to know my photos on it aren't going to be hideous!

[@TechnicallySpeaking]

It's pretty much going to be a similar experience across most androids unfortunately. I don't personally use Snapchat so I can't be much help here 🥺

[@aliciadearnaley3057]

@@TechnicallySpeaking hi yeah I appreciate most androids have reduced quality but the phone I returned the 8t was really really poor! I know it's a big ask but I'd feel so reassured if you could possibly check if the app at least works somewhat quickly and the photos take when you click the button even if quality is reduced? No worries if not thanks anyway :)

[@aliciadearnaley3057]

@1000pingVendetta hi hi this is massively helpful. I appreciate camera quality will be largely compromised but does the app run somewhat smoothly? Ie when you click the shutter button on Snapchat does the photo take instantly? Are there black bars around the photo? Is the camera really zoomed in by default? These were the problems the other phone had. I don't mind reduced quality!

[@aliciadearnaley3057]

@1000pingVendetta you're an absolute gem thank you so much for this!
