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.
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
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.
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.
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. 👏
@@StevenDivish yeah it's and we still have a pending video from you😁 lenses you used on the iPhone 14.i could still remember you said you will give it a try on the s23U
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
Man you are doing a great job .. your review are far better than any other vloggers...❤️ which external mic arw you using? Could you please fo a comparison of insta 360 flow and dji osmo 2?
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.
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
If only I could get a hold of that phone..Don't you think that it seems that it's more like a concept product available only to a selected amount of people? I couldn't find it anywhere. Thank you so much for watching and taking your time to comment!
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?
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.
Wow. .Really liked the review. Most youtubers just do a review which won't make u buy the phone but you focussed on its software which was an eye opener. .That is why leave the camera review for professionals who can do justice to the review.. Just give some more time to pixels and iPhone is gone to dustbin..
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!
Unfortunately not even remotely close to what the Pixel 7a offers…on iPhone you can adjust only blur strength on the photos that you took in portrait mode. On the pixel you can make a portrait shot out of any photo, change not only the blur strength but also control the focal point what is in focus and what’s not…
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
Right, I also love Pixel phones, especially the A series, but unfortunately I do not have them because of the slow charging, which is disastrous Thanks ❤
hello!!! It's like comparing a Mercedes with a Dacia...but seeing that it's worth more than half the iPhone...the pixel 7a does an excellent job. I prefer the pixel. good video
Google pixel did great noice cancellation job, video quality was not so bad either compared to iphone 14 pro, So pixel7a its really a value for money phone !
