Can Google undercut Apple’s popular flagship?
Google’s Pixel 6a is finally upon us, adding a boldly attired mid-range smartphone option to the market.
There’s less choice on storage, then, but the Pixel 6a is a good $350 / £380 / AU$600 cheaper than the equivalent iPhone 13.The Pixel 6a is one of the stand-out phone designs in its class, borrowing the two-tone rear panel and width-spanning camera ‘visor’ from theIt also benefits from a ‘tactile alloy’ frame, though the rear panel is formed of ‘3D thermoformed composite’, aka fancy plastic.
Google’s display notch is far less intrusive than Apple’s, that’s for sure. While the Pixel 6a makes do with an unobtrusive hole-punch selfie camera, the iPhone 13 notch takes a sizeable chunk out of the top of the screen. When it comes to resolution, the Pixel 6a goes for a standard 1080 x 2400 or FHD+ set-up, while the iPhone 13 gives you a bespoke 1170 x 2532. Apple’s screen is sharper, essentially, but there isn’t a massive amount in it.
Pixel cameras always punch above their weight, and that’s certainly true of the Pixel 6a. It might have the same humble 12.2MP f/1.7 dual-pixel main camera as older Pixel phones, together with autofocus and both optical and electronic image stabilization, but the pictures it captures are undeniably good.
It too has a pair of 12MP sensors covering the wide and ultra-wide angles, but they’re of an altogether different caliber to the Pixel. The main sensor is much bigger than its Pixel 6a equivalent, capturing 1.7µm pixels compared to the Pixel’s 1.4µm. Together with a wider f/1.6 aperture, it simply sucks up way more light.
