Tpying this from a pixel 7a and i bought this device only for the camera and google software experience. Love it honestly. I usually take a picture, if its dull (bcoz of the environment), i go to edit and select dynamic. Google photos have superb editing options.
Me too. Been using it for a over a week now and the experience is unmatched. The camera is nice and sharp, performance is enough. Best part installations from play store are super quick, no lags whatsoever. I am loving mine so far.
Steven, I absolutely LOVE how you review Pixels (particularly the 7a) from a photographer/videography perspective. I'm only a hobbyist, but the camera is one of the primary reasons that I choose my phones, and I just downgraded from the Pixel 6 Pro (which takes darn good pics but the connectivity is HORRIBLE) to the Pixel 7a, and I am just as pleased with the 7a as I have been with all other Pixels I've owned (Original, the P4, and the P6Pro). I most appreciate how you approach these types of review with an open mind, without allowing a bias for either iOS or Android creep in. PLEASE...keep up the great work!!!
@@ZuiverAirTechnologies Sometimes I stand a foot or two away from the subject and then use the 2x zoom on the 7a to reframe tighten up the focus, which also...sometimes...creates a nice boneh effect. Other times I'll just use the main lens and Portrait mode.
No. The wife has the 7a and its images are over processed. The Pro features are very limited meaning you really have to put up with what you get, whereas the iPhone gives you a lot more data to play with and you also have a more natural looking image.
@@LearnHax You get better screen, better build quality, better sensors, better speakers & mics, better support, longer OS updates support, better resale value and a more secure software experience with better apps. Even Google Maps is better on iOS.
These videos have been awesome! Started following your channel because I myself purchased a Pixel 7a and really like it and your camera comparisons are some of the best I've seen! Keep the good content coming man! New Sub btw
2:14 *Iphone is blowing out the highlights.* Pixel's HDR is dope especially in photos. Those dual exposure HDR sliders and temp sliders make it more fun.
I'm a pixel guy and still use my 5, will probably upgrade to the 8. But...I think googles image processing has got softer over the years. Used to have a more HDR detailed look that I preferred. I find the front camera especially on my pixel softer than older pixel models I have and less detailed. The images from the 7a look similar. Almost like there is skin smoothing or beautification going on even when turned off.
Bingo! Upgraded from pixel 2xl to pixel 6. Well I am disappointed to say the least. My pixel 2xl is sharp and gives better results as compared to pixel 6 which is soft in comparison.
The big difference in photos for Iphone is that it shows alot more clarity and details, it must be way more megapixels. The difference at 6:38 in details is huge
This is just very aggressive sharpening being applied here, not true details. It looks fake and terrible IMO. I prefer the less software sharpening in the Pixel photo. If you like over processed look to photos, it is easy to apply sharpening, but impossible to take it off an image.
With the portrait mode the iPhone can actually adjust photos taken in portrait mode later on. Different blur, even disabling it. But it cannot make a portrait photo from something that never has been portrait...
Pixel wins for me. I'm actually rather disappointed with the iPhone 14 Pro's cameras (I preferred 13 Pro). So I just got a Pixel 7a and I'm very happy. The only downside with Pixel 7a is video recording in low light - not one phone does it really well, but iPhone 14 Pro does better than Pixel 7a in this regard.
In my opinion these are small differences on camera come on people ya want a big difference on photo quality get ya a 5,000 dollar digital camera with expensive lenses
Yes it gets hot but nothing crazy from my experience that affected its performance. Though I might be living in not so hot climate, but I faced no problem.
I know it's a little late but a very good review, I don't know if you could tell me about the photos at night where the rays of neon and LED light hit the faces and good photos don't come out. On iPhone I know it doesn't happen much but on other brands it does. So I don't know if this pixel 7a handles the rays of lights well like in bars and doesn't cover faces.
Can't wait to get a hold of pixel 8 series! Hopefully it will be available soon :) Yes the telephoto shots were made with 70-200 and some with 90mm macro lens
Is pixel the only phone that let u change white balance in main photo app (not in pro mode). I think so. very important to me. In Samsung if i go pro mode, picture lots the computation photography (no HDR)
Hmm..I can not say on behalf of all phones to be honest, but I love the option of adjusting the White Balance for photos and videos especially, it's a must have in my opinion!
I have watched several reviews of Pixel 7a but this on is the best.,!!! I have seen Pixel 7a's have some battery issues and phone getting hot and camera shutting down issues? I am confused if I should buy this phone (just for the camera) ? will S21 Ulta ( non FE ) will be a good choice or OnePlus 10 Pro?
This is a great insight about what a Google phone can do. Steven, can you also review the Sony Xperia 1 V and do a comparison? Thank you! Great video overall. 👏

Can you suggest me the best Mobile for better camera? I can't afford 15 pro or 15 pro Max. But I guess I can afford most of other mobiles.
Can more affordable options like the Pixel 7a challenge the camera experience of the pricier iPhone 14 Pro? What do you think?

🐦 Thank you for watching!
This video deserve more than 1 million views. You are simply a great reviewer I've seen!
Thank you! That means a lot 🙌🏼
i liked how you explained that exposure lock feature so smoothly
2:14 *Iphone is blowing out the highlights.*
Pixel's HDR is dope especially in photos. Those dual exposure HDR sliders and temp sliders make it more fun.
7:55 Exposure lock for video is awesome!
I agree!

Almost like there is skin smoothing or beautification going on even when turned off.
I noticed this as well ony 5a, the selfies look so smoothed on the face and it always looks much clearer in the viewfinder
Absolutely true man. I am using the pixel 6 pro, and most of the time, the images look kinda like painting pictures
Bingo! Upgraded from pixel 2xl to pixel 6. Well I am disappointed to say the least. My pixel 2xl is sharp and gives better results as compared to pixel 6 which is soft in comparison.
Because of tensor soc , snapdragon isp is better than the new tensor models
Switch to raw image you will get the best shot in hdr . You'll find it under folder name RAW. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BUY NEW PIXEL 8.
Pixel audio definitely sounds a little muffled compared to iphone, however it does a much better job at canceling out the background noise.
Yes I noticed that in the shop. Loudspeakers not good.
yes!
Yeah i definitely prefer the pixel im going invest in a pixel 7 a have been mulling it over
I think it's because of noise cancellation at work, with iPhone you can hear much background noise of vehicles Where as pixel 7a it filtered it out!
I agree with your conclusion, the reality is that they are pretty close, no reason to pay twice the price.
This software feature is game changing!!! 🔥
Absolutely agree! if only iPhone had it...maybe they will give it to the users with the next generation of iPhone 15
Really love this comparison/review!
I've got the pixel 6a for my work and am amazed how great the quality of the camera's and software is.
The big difference in photos for Iphone is that it shows alot more clarity and details, it must be way more megapixels. The difference at 6:38 in details is huge
iphone has better optics, pixel has better software

It’s crazy that you have peacocks in your city. We have pigeons and crows, maybe some sparrows here and there. That’s sick.
Thanks!

The red glow behind the images makes the comparison a tad bit harder. It's easier to compare completely still frames of photos.
Thank you! I agree and noted, I will adjust further in the next videos!
Such an underrarted channel. More power to you brother!
Thank you!!
8:36 I didn't know about this before😮
Thank you for saying🔥
No problem! Thank you for watching!
so we will just ignore the fact that the flagship phone lacks in any audio isolation feature and a mid range 7a cancels 80% of any noise?
In my opinion these are small differences on camera come on people ya want a big difference on photo quality get ya a 5,000 dollar digital camera with expensive lenses
at the end he just forgot abt the iPhone and started explaining the pixel lmaoo
Lol I got carried away :)
So informative by the way
Which app do you use for video in pixel phone at 05:01 time stamp
Thank you!
This is insta360 app for the gimbal
I'm thinking of buying it these days, have you experienced the overheating issues I've read about online?? (about pixel phone)
Yes it gets hot but nothing crazy from my experience that affected its performance. Though I might be living in not so hot climate, but I faced no problem.
Pixel wins coz it got much better image processing, software fact dude.
yes
iPhone selfie camera is fantastic in this video. It’s funny to compare them together 😂

The software before was much more aggressive in hdr Now it is very subtle wanting to do more embellishment than it really is.
Waiting for the comparison of the iphone 15 pro and pixel 8!
The video was shot with rhe 70-200 lens from the description?

iPhone also has voice isolation mode but you need to toggle it in the control center while the camera app is open
Love the video, wish u took some nighttime photography tho
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to buying a pixel 7a in the near future.
2:09 the audio sounds more natural on iPhone only because there's the sound reduction option not because it's better😅
Can you lock the exposure but leave autofocus active in the video mode on the Pixel?
Would you please tell me any green line or white line issues in google pixel 7pro,7a or 7 please repl
wait the third slider is contrast? I tthought it was th shutter speed
Overcast condition is easiest condition for any phone camera, you should have done at night to see real difference
I want to purchase bw 7 or 7a which one you suggest me?

Thank you so much!
ps. The shirt is from Zara lol
I'm a bit out off with pixel 13 mega pixel selfie camera does it really take clear snaps
