Google Pixel 4a vs iPhone SE: Which is the best cheap phone for you?

January 24, 2021

News Highlights: Google Pixel 4a vs iPhone SE: Which is the best cheap phone for you?.

In the battle for the best cheap phones, Google Pixel 4a vs iPhone SE is one of the hottest fights. It seems that phone makers are increasingly looking to claim a middle ground on price, including these heavy hitters from Google and Apple. The two phones are remarkably similar in many ways, so how do you choose?

That’s what we want to answer here; taking in everything from the overall design to their cameras, battery performance, specs, features and – of course – price.

Both mobiles have the kind of punch that makes you the best smartphones despite their low price, but if you need a more in-depth intelligence briefing on who you’re leaning towards after our take, check out our individual Google Pixel 4A- review and our Apple iPhone SE rating.

Google Pixel 4a versus iPhone SE: Design and display

There’s no question that both the Google Pixel 4a and the Apple iPhone SE are designed to be budget alternatives to their frontline counterparts, but that’s more evident with one model than the other

While the iPhone SE isn’t quite as refined as its flagship siblings, its water-resistant glass and aluminum body and multiple color options still give it the feel of a premium build. The Pixel 4a is a little more obvious with its cuts. For starters, it’s not rated by any waterproofing standard – which feels like a mistake – and its Henry Ford-esque monotone approach to color options and stellar rear camera betrays its price range.

It doesn’t look cheap and it’s definitely not an ugly phone, but you can tell it’s not a flagship model. That makes up for it with its screen: the sharp 1080 × 2340 OLED screen looks a lot nicer than iPhone SE’s 750 × 1334 LCD, thanks to the deep contrast and punchy colors of OLED and higher resolution. The Pixel 4A is also slightly larger at 5.8 inches versus 4.7 for the iPhone SE, although they are both among the best small phones.

Some will prefer that the iPhone SE has the smallest screen possible, some want the Pixel’s larger canvas for movies and photos – that’s a matter of preference.

Google Pixel 4A versus iPhone SE: camera and battery

At the risk of losing our battle metaphor for something more to do with boxing, Round 2 is about the big hitters: camera and battery performance.

When it comes to their main (rear) cameras, there isn’t much to separate in terms of raw numbers. The rear camera of the Google Pixel 4A offers 12.2 MP with an aperture of f / 1.7, while that of Apple iPhone SE delivers a combination of 12 MP, f / 1.8 aperture. The Pixel’s huge strengths are in the low light and night modes, while the iPhone colors it on video recording.

On the front, the Pixel 4A has 8 MP with an f / 2.0 aperture and the iPhone SE stacks up at 7 MP with an aperture of f / 2.2. The SE’s front camera almost fares better with selfies, but there really isn’t much in between.

The only thing that can split them is your personal preference. To find out, our reviews of the Pixel 4A and the iPhone SE has plenty of sample photos to look through.

When it comes to batteries, direct comparisons are again difficult. Both will help you get through a full workday, but you still plug them in before bed. The Pixel 4A comes with a quick charge plug in the box (the iPhone SE can charge quickly, but the included plug is slower), while the SE can charge wirelessly (not included with the Pixel).

Google Pixel 4a versus iPhone SE: specifications and features

If you look at pure power, the iPhone SE is clearly the heavier hitter thanks to the addition of Apple’s A13 processor. The Pixel 4a comes with the Snapdragon 730G, a step down from what you find in flagship phones, but still a perfectly capable processor.

You’ll feel the difference while gaming, editing video, or even waiting for an image to finish processing, but only really if you’re doing more intensive versions of these things. It also makes the iPhone SE slightly more future-proof – its more powerful processor will probably last longer with new software updates.

None of these phones are 5G ready, although a more expensive Pixel 4a 5G model is now available so you have the option if you go with Google.

The other notable thing to mention here is storage space. Neither of these phones offers expandable storage. A base iPhone SE comes with 64 GB, with 128 GB and 256 GB options at higher prices. The Google Pixel 4A remains at just 128 GB, although for considerably less money.

Google Pixel 4a versus iPhone SE: Price and judgment

Price may be the kicker for you. The Google Pixel 4a and iPhone SE may run in the same price range, but the Pixel costs £ 60 less and £ 110 cheaper than the 128 GB version of the SE.

Blow for blow, there’s little to separate these phones beyond personal preference, so with a significantly cheaper handset it’s easy to say the Pixel 4a should emerge victorious from this battle, but that’s not the end of the story .

With its hugely impressive A13 processor, water resistance, and wireless charging, that’s Apple’s iPhone SE looks much more future-proof. We call this a draw when it comes to the quality of the handsets, but we hope this guide has helped you decide which of the differences between the two send you to one or the other.
