Looks like Google up'ed their game on the video recording. The sound quality as well as video stablilzation was MUCH better on the Pixel 4a at 0:40 compared to the iPhone at 0:37, however I will agree the iPhone maintained more clarity (t-shirt). However when it comes to the still images, hands down, Pixel wins, not even a contest in my opinion. When it comes to consideration of which to buy though, there are a few more things to consider. The Pixel has a larger, higher resolution OLED display, better battery life, better RAM management (6GB vs 3GB), faster WiFi speeds, a headphone jack, lighter weight and costs $50 less ($100 less if iPhone SE has 128GBs storage). FYI, the Pixel 4a is already sold out on Amazon.
@@amazingthing7379 Since I don't know your country, I can't comment, but in most all other countries, the Pixel is about $100 cheaper for the 128GB variants. Are you sure you are comparing both phones with 128GBs onboard storage?
THANK YOU: all these tech reviewers compare the 2 phones as if they were priced 349$ to 399$ but in reality it's 349$ to 449$ to match the storage! Also great video, I love the format especially the comparison of the two phones side by side!
Overall (including more feature in camera, battery , weight, screen, android os , price) I prefer the pixel. How ever something strange with me, why do I love the color produced by iPhone se?
Yeah somethings wrong with you. The pixel has the color production that iPhone used to have back in the day. Now iPhones with Smart HDR have horrible color reproduction. The greens in the grass are not the right hue. Pixel gets it more accurately. I really don’t know why Apple chose to go with those colors on iPhone, it’s not what they used to do before on iPhone’s before the smart HDR tech.
It’s awesome the extent to which a phone can replace a high end camera / action camera. The sound on the pixel rivals a studio quality microphone. At 350 dollars, I don’t find a need for an amateur vlog camera anymore
Pixel shoots photos with high dynamic range and doesn't look like it's a flat image. It doesn't over saturate or over smoothens like other phones does. The photos look so natural. 🌿🍃❤
HDR is "high dynamic range." It refers to a technique where multiple images are taken and merged together. The dynamic range if a single shot is not "HDR"
Super excited to see the Pixel 4a 5g and Pixel 5. I've had the 3a and was waiting for the 4a, but since it's so close and my 3a still works (knock on wood), I feel like it's worth waiting on. I honestly am shocked the audio sounds good on the 4a. It's ALWAYS been a Pixel thing to sound like garbage and I'm genuinely shocked, in a good way. Great video though! Definitely enjoy you giving honest thoughts and not pushing one phone or the other, like so many TH-camrs do
both are good. I am tired of people saying the 4a is better! I use the se 2020 and the rear camera is leaps better. A lot of people aren’t going to start a professional TH-cam channel with these. Both of the rear cameras are enough for vloging. I wouldn’t use either front camera because the rear camera on the iPhone has extended dynamic range. You can also film 1080p 60 FPS on iphone with excellent dynamic range and stabilization. And the iphone se 2020 has a better processor. No amount of ram or storage can out perform an a13 2.66ghz processor. People complain about the screen, but for me it’s plenty large enough, and it was quite refreshing coming from a 6.1 inch display.
Both are very good but I give the edge to the 4a. Especially with 🌃 night sight. The bigger OLED display for me is much preferred. I could never go back to a 4.7in display. At it's current price I chose the 4a. Very good comparison!
I have a 1st gen SE and a macbook and iPad so I’m thinking of getting a 2nd gen SE to keep the compatibilty going - but if I were going down the Android route I’d definitely go for the Pixel 4a as it is a bargain at that price.
Loved my 3a but opted for an SE 2 this time. The pictures on the 3a were phenomenal however it struggled when I was in holiday last year due to the heat and would shut down until it cooled. For me wireless charging and being water resistant pulled me back to Apple with the lower price point. I do miss the camera though, maybe I can get my wife one and have the best of both worlds 😉.
Bro! This is one of the best! Review i have seen for pixel 4A, there are also few good ones out there, with their own style, i love your style too! Keep up the good work man! Quality content and on point! Pixel 🔥 for me!
@@PsychXxKiddo True, most games open up instantly and the gfx are as good as it gets but that's mainly cuz of the 1080p screen. Only small complaint is the screen's too small but I am willing to trade screen size for performance.
@@ethantube1807 the se is much better than the pixel in all things except from the screen amd i saw that because i have se and my brother has pixel and when we compered them i found out ots better
I have the Google pixel 4a, it is brilliant, super fast and above all excellent for photos Frankly I recommend it 100% do not pay 489 euros for an iPhone that does not have night mode.
Loved the pixel 4a. Rocking the pixel 3a rn. Btw best camera comparison , I Love your videos. Unlike other TH-camrs always being biased towards the pixel and saying iPhone videos are way better even when in their comparison it's clear pixel is better or it's really close.
Hi bro how are you?? I have one question who is best camera smart phone 2020 Huawei p40 pro plus, Samsung S20 ultra, one plus 8T, pixel 5 who is?? Your Please share your opinion
Arghh I still cannot decide between these 2. Because the primary reason to get one of these is for video. I want to use filmic pro at full potential. But I also love photography.
I was thinking iPhone SE will lag behind but it is competing neck to neck. There was a time when Pixel was 📸 king but now every other brand has met the standards and polished their 📸. Pixel devices are a big pain when it comes to after sales service especially in India.
ISSUE: Pixel 4a front camera which is "on side" instead "in middle" bothers others app's pages (like closing the pages of game apps or some other apps) and not responding the touch once its overlaps on it. did you notice it? I am not sure if this has been noticed by anyone !
Thanks for the mentioning the overheating. I will have to pass just on that alone. Im in Oz, and 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) is around average temps for summer in Sydney.
It may not be a great 'looker' but the Pixel 4a smashes the iphone SE 2 comprehensively here. Honestly given the choice who'd buy the iphone over google's latest phone?
I notice that the iPhone SE 2 when racking between foreground and background around 5:08 it slightly crops in smooth and then back out. Looks like a nice touch to me.
Two things. Night mode. Sky. Yes Pixel seems better with handling sky brightness.... but is it ? I've owned both brands and what I will say about Pixel is sometimes the sky does not look like that ! Sometimes the sky is bright. I think the Pixel is heavy handed sometimes with it's processing and HDR, verging on ridiculous at times. The iPhone will not capture those super crisp details, but it produces a more natural "as it is" photo. Night mode on iPhone is easily fixed with £4 on the app store, there is little difference then.
Thank you for this fantastic review! I want to get my first smartphone, and care a great deal about the camera and video. Your side by side comparison is perfect! New sub and liked.
You said that the iPhone se2 looks outdated. That’s because it is supposed to be a phone for people who like the old school look with fingerprint and a smaller screen and body so you can actually fit the phone in your hand. The se2 also has a way better chip
This guy is faking the audio quality test for iPhone se 2020. I have the same phone as well and it doesn't record audio too low as showed in the video unless he is paid by Google's PR team just to showoff pixel being superior.
With a descent battery, a good display and a great camera and descent capable chipset, pixel seems a better option for me. I know SE chipset is far ahead but with a pathetic battery and an outdated display, its capabilities are negated...
I would still take the iPhone. Better build quality, wireless charging, comes with iWork, iMovie etc, and reverb if you like Google's apps will run those too.
iPhone looks better a shooting most videos, but Pixel takes better photos and has better quality sound. Personally at the moment I'm happy with my Pixel 2XL. I'd wait for the 5 before I think about upgrading.
I like the se bc it's video and pics seem more instagram/social media-ready, but as someone with shaky hands I'm leaning towards e pixel, would it matter?
@@solman5517 If your vlog doesn't require sound, SE is better. If not, 4a is much better. Besides the in build microphone in 4a, you can use good quality external mic through that audio jack.
I don't like iphone SE 2 Camera and i don't know why people saying on youtube channels... it has great camera.? It's more like a filter and smother with your skin tone which is capturing filtering images.
Great comparison but I think with human subjects iPhone is more pleasing and less unnecessary facial structure in it as pixel. What's ur say? Is there even any options to stop that extra structuring on human faces?

Not faster wifi speeds.
The shirt looks odd on the pixel 4a, but the background looks much more clear on it, while the iphones is only over saturated.
@@NOLATechy no,, there is wifi 6 in SE. And in my country SE is cheaper than pixel.

Pixel 4a's microphone is leaps and bounds much better quality than the SE2
They've made some great improvements there!
Its not leaps and bounds better. Both are really good. I even use the iPhone. And no that is not biased.
That duck picture was enough for me the level of detail and background blur is crazy for a 350 bucks phone .
The video quality seems to be improving on pixel, let's see how they achieve later....
I agree 👍
@@AuthenTech How is it nowadays ?
3:51 that's just simply incredible for the pixel to capture those star in the night sky

WOW..the 4A voice quality are on another level..
Even budget pixels blow every phone out of the water in the camera department
There’s budget pixel? Wth?
@@Cyrus-ro8kg Yep, Pixel 4a
@TD,I wouldn’t say it’s a budget phone. I would say more of a mid ranger.
@@sarangtambe3585 ikr. In Asia pixel 4a came with Samsung flagship S10E snapdragon 855 price tag. About 1800 myr !
Pixel is a hit. Google did the best thing with it. Amazing job!
Overall (including more feature in camera, battery , weight, screen, android os , price) I prefer the pixel. How ever something strange with me, why do I love the color produced by iPhone se?
The Pixel seems to be a bit too warm in many shots, suffocating color under an orange/yellow haze.
You can edit them to increase brightness

Pixel's video recording have improved greatly and the mic is far better than SE2
I believe the pixel looks a little more cropped in due to it using a much more aggressive digital image stabilisation. It works very well!

Dude forgot the Astrophotography mode. Man, that stuff was amazing. Especially when you're in the middle of nowhere.
Pixel 4a is better with that price and camera. In real world case no one will ever know if you shot with iPhone or Pixel.

iPhone's mic sounds less full, but it have better audio cancelation
Pixel needs a bit more saturation but you can easily do that in any video editor.
I just wish 4a had sd 855 or + instead of 730g.. it would be awesome ❤️
Turn off stabilization on pixel give you wider angle
True. Electronic stabilization crops in.
The iPhone only has OIS, but the Pixel has both EIS and OIS. So that’s why it was more stable.
I really think pixel 4a is now on the same level with iphone in relation to iphone se

I’m a fan of both but I never liked how iPhones boost contrast and colours on the camera, pixels look more like what the actual scene is.

Not enough enough money bro
You forgot to mention astro photography on the pixel , is really great.
My first time here and I'm loving. Keep it up man
Welcome aboard!
what resolution and frame rate is best to shoot in on the iphone se2?
4K 30
Sir which phone better video audio quality....?
iPhone looks better a shooting most videos, but Pixel takes better photos and has better quality sound. Personally at the moment I'm happy with my Pixel 2XL. I'd wait for the 5 before I think about upgrading.
For rear cam video se is simply better because it also has 4k 24 fps cinematic video and 4k 60 fps bettet colour, wider angle etc
I like the se bc it's video and pics seem more instagram/social media-ready, but as someone with shaky hands I'm leaning towards e pixel, would it matter?
What is your take on Google's investment in Indian telicom giant Jio. Do you expect pixel 5a to be a budget 5g phones with Indian hardware?
Sir, is 4A perfect for vlogging between these two?
Yes
Piyush Stanzin No. video is awful. IPhone is always the best for video.

With the IPhone SE you can take really good pictures and videos but you can't enjoy this in that low resolution cheap screen .
Sadly, yes very cheap screen
Love this video.. you are the best👍
Pixel showed tht no. of cameras and MP don't really matters.
U can get quality photos and videos frm single 12 MP cam.
Please do camera comparison with OnePlus Nord,Se and pixel 4a
Pixel all day.
Which is better for making videos,?
Please,,,do a camera comparison between s10e & pixel 4a.
iPhone SE has a screen from 2014, Pixel looks nice and modern.
Between this 2 I think is all about which ecosystem you prefer.
This is definitely part of it. Price tag is key as well, since Pixel is cheaper
Lets thought what will happen when Google launches Pixel 10 XL?
will there be a telescope fixed on rear?😏
Great comparison but I think with human subjects iPhone is more pleasing and less unnecessary facial structure in it as pixel. What's ur say? Is there even any options to stop that extra structuring on human faces?
Time stamps in the description would be helpful...
Your videos are really good 👍
3:23 there’s not even a comparison...the 4a wins massive...just look at how better the colors are and how washed out the iphones picture is
Can you record videos at 24 FPS with pixel?
Very bad sound on the iPhone, but has great colours, pixel colours selfie video are very bad, avoid
SE is wonderful I should have it
For me the iPhone’s stabilization was better because the 4a was a bit shaky
Pixel smartphones show their power at night ....😘😘😆
What’s disappointing with the se is they used the old iphone 8 microphone.
I was waiting for your review😅
😃
Pixel wins for me , I like to see the pixel 4a v pixel 4 . Great video 👍
Thanks for sharing
Apple : We have better phone.
Google: ha ha. We have machine learning.
Apple: Okay you win this time.
Pls suggest mi which one is the best
In my opinion... Pixel won in photo, iphone won in video. Overall, They both are great budget phone.
