Thanks for watching! Leave a thumbs up on the video if you want to see me use this for street photography and test more features like zoom, and low light.

To transfer files from an Android phone you literally can plug your usb-c to c cable onto your computer and phone, change the charging option on your phone to file transfer then your computer will see your phone as an external drive. No need to delete the extra jpegs no need to transfer to Google drive.

Definitely do those tests, definitely curious to see what it can do, especially low light.

Google was one of the first, if not the very first company to bring computational photography (namely their HDR+ algorithm) to Smartphones. Apple and other Android OEMs were way behind in terms of processing once the Google Nexus 5x and 6p hit. Same goes for their computational raw files.

I'm not a photographer or even someone who looks at many images, but it was pretty obvious that image A had much more detail than image B. Image B had a nice, balanced and 'realistic' tone, but there was no fine detail of material grain, etc on that image. Image A was obviously the more expensive camera.

I really like that you're unbiased and always trying out different brands, this content would be of great help to those who aspire to create but don't use a certain brand for any reason, however I would love to know your opinion on the Pixel AI editing, I think it's called "Magic Editor if I'm not mistaken, Great video as always.

Very good review about photographic capabilities of Pixel 8a. Thanks

[nickguzman]

Curious how the pro would fare. Nice vid and these ironically help my photography too, bc you always have good compositions with these phones

Using this phone around 2 weeks, I noticed that the white balance is more towards the cooler side.. The images clicked are a bit less saturated even with Ultra HDR on.

You guys can compare when taking a screenshot of the camera viewfinder vs the actual processed image.

I was in Best Buy having a ballwith the 9 Pro. Testing video, zoom amd manual controlss and it was so good. Can't wait until i finally get it in my hands.

those new smartphones are incredible now for the quality that they produce, like now even if you are a pro photographer and could find it a bit hard to know if the pic from a phone or a pro camera, next phone I would like to suggest to try is Sony Xperia 1 Mark Vi, give it a try, the portrait mode in that phone is way beyond the other phones.

[SPthereal]

you should try the pixel 8 pro and the pixel 9 pro when it releases

[oozle]

just got a 8A and nowhere is there an option for RAW! Even the reviews state JPG is the only Is yours a pre release model??

[AlKarzhauov]

Please do the Pixel 8 Pro. I think youd ve blown away

[mikelreborn]

It's all about the sensor..I have a 8a and love it, the 4K video at 60fps is great, I use the black magic camera app it's made for Samsung and Google phones.

I find the colors out the box from this phone are lovely, not overly digital, no crazy in camera processing, just clean shots, and they're a dream to edit compared to other phones iv had, o have a similar issue with the noise in desaturated shadows and in low light

Great video!

Crazy how good the Pixel 8a looks compared to that "real" camera that costs 20x more lol

fornmy phone its a motorola and the pictures lookclear from my phone but on iphone and when i post on my story. the pictures look so grainy. Does the picture look clear across the board on iphones and android

[TheRaintree]

it looks like you could use it for stock imagery as long as its close ups?

[FrankPiacitelli]

thanks for this great review! I have a Pixel 4A, overall good value, but the zoom images are just awful. maybe i'm expecting too much. considering switching to iphone, but the pixel 8A seems like a much better value, would value your perspective on the zoom camera performance
