During a global disaster, Apple removed from the bag is likely one of his best achievements by 2020 in the global telecommunications market. And is the iPhone SE 2020 introduced at the fair in April exactly what many expected: a the new iPhone is cheaper, smaller in size and shares part of its technical data sheet with leading models to his family.
But we have known for a long time that Apple is not alone who decided to try again in the section less than 500 euros. Following the same method as last year, Google will soon announce its new Pixel 4a, a production version of the Pixel 4 that will come at the same price, if not the same, as the iPhone SE 2020.
The question is, Will Google Pixel 4a be a worthy competitor to the new iPhone SE? By looking at everything we already know about the new Google, we can get an idea of what it will look like compared to Apple's latest model.
A modern design that offers "premium" synthetic materials
Thanks to the mature photos of the new Pixel 4a, we already know how will it be built?. For the first time, Google will bet the "entire screen" – in nuances – that it receives a hole in the panel handler housing the front camera of the device. Its back, on the other hand, will follow the same line as the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, with a square image module and capacitive fingerprint reader.
In addition to what we know, like Pixel 3a, the new model will be made of plastic and not with aluminum or glass such as Google's expensive models. Plastic is a fabric more resistant to shock than glass, and its use would have helped Google to reduce the device weight by a few grams. However, it is an exhibition outside of the display of what is known as "premium items". Those include the latest Apple Apple.
Because, in fact, Apple has chosen a completely different formula: its design is not just natural, but those of Copertino have decided redesign of the iPhone 8 2017. They are: rear glass, aluminum rails on its sides, and front return to the best frames to get into Touch ID located at the bottom of the screen.
Of course, Apple's decision makes more sense than meets: Millions of people still prefer the good design and size of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 instead of the format of the latest Apple models, they have screens up to 6.5 inches. And even though the iPhone SE 2020 doesn't exactly fit – it would be so if its front was actually used, even if it had a 4-inch screen similar to the original iPhone SE -, the simple fact of maintaining a good iPhone look, the new "Interior" makes it a tool completely different in the middle grade category.
In addition, the iPhone SE has many benefits gained from the iPhone 8 series that Pixel 4a may not try, such as installation. Qi wireless charging and water and dust resistant certificate. In favor of the Pixel, it claims to have at least a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Two different generation screens
And speaking of screens, this feature may be The power of the Pixel 4a is huge about an Apple counterparty. Those of Copertino have decided to bet on a 4.7-inch diigonal panel based on LCD technology, with a resolution of 1334 by 750 pixels. Instead, the Pixel 4a will have 5.8-inch diagonal OLED panel with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels. The contrast is clear.
Over the past year, Google has been able to put together one of the best screens we've ever seen on a mobile phone for less than 500 euros, and there's no reason not to believe that Pixel 4a will not follow its same steps. In addition, their size, which is small considering that most mobiles have already exceeded 6.5 inches, added to some margins are much smaller than the iPhone SE 2020, they will make it a truly compact storage space by taking full advantage of the front space.
The Apple A13 Bionic is making a difference
It doesn't matter what the model is: if you have an Android smartphone, you must learn to live with the fact that Even the cheapest iPhone for sale has a better processor than your phone. It doesn't matter if you just bought the OnePlus 8 Pro and Snapdragon 865, or if you've spent about 1,400 euros the expensive Galaxy S20 Ultra – mediocre – Exynos 990; The Apple A13 integrating the iPhone SE 2020 has proven superior on any other mobile processor released last year.
So anyway the Pixel 4a will feature an excellent Snapdragon 730 that such a great result seems to deliver in low-middle-class environments that combine it, it is simply unimaginable that the new Google phone will live up to the Apple model in terms of graphics power, calculator capacity, efficiency and, ultimately, in terms of standard performance – but still the difference in daily performance. you do not care for the majority users on foot.
But besides all that, the Pixel 4a will also have some benefits. Recent rumors purpose to be launched by Google single version of Pixel 4a, with 6 GB of RAM memory – double for iPhone SE -, and 128 GB of storage. If so, we're talking about a difference of $ 50 between the Pixel 4a and the iPhone SE with the same storage capacity.
Two of the best cameras on the market, in a cellphone of less than 500 euros
While more than 1,000 euros include cell phones with flawed first-generation cameras, Google and Apple are able to combine their best mobile photography experiences for less than 500 euros. And of course, if there's a compelling reason to bet on any of these two transit options, and not at any other similar price – other than the support based on reviews provided by both companies – it's because their cameras.
The iPhone SE 2020 has a camera system based on that of the iPhone XR, which was once one of the markets. The only disturbance will be their inability capture images in night mode, and record 4K video at 60 FPS.
According to him, The Pixel 4a will maintain the same basic camera as the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, which is able to offer the best photo experience we have yet to explore on an Android smartphone. Supporting Google phone, it should be said that "Night Vision" mode will be maintained, along with 4K video capture at 30 FPS.
If you do not test both models, it would be absurd to think that, considering the sensors that make up each model, and the benefits that each software provides, Google was the winner in terms of images, while Apple took the crown for granted video recording. What is clear is there will be no other model that can stand up to this couple subject to photos at the same price.
Until very long ago, it didn't seem as exciting to talk about Google and Apple as benchmarks on the middle phone. Everything has changed since the advent of The original iPhone SE in 2016, a mobile phone is capable of offering 90% of what an expensive iPhone offers at a very low price. And later the same thing happens in the Android landscape, where Google shows that cheap mobiles can also provide a great user experience and have the best camera on the market with their Pixel 3a.
This year, Apple has gone ahead and seized the right moment to introduce its new cheap iPhone, raising the bar will need Pixel 3a to arrive if it wants to be mobile, at least, relevant to the current mobile world. And the ball is on Google's roof.
