Google Pixel 4a vs iPhone SE<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The iPhone SE might be Apple’s unexpected hit of 2020, but there’s a new competitor in town: the Google Pixel 4a<\/a>. But Google\u2019s newest mid-range handset is going to need a lot more than a low price to take on Apple\u2019s mighty budget blockbuster. Here\u2019s how the two phones measure up.<\/p>\n

Google Pixel 4a vs iPhone SE: Design<\/h2>\n

I never thought I\u2019d see the day when Google designs a nicer phone than Apple, but it is hard to deny the Pixel 4a\u2019s good looks. It has relatively slim and uniform bezels all around thanks to its hole-punch camera, an extremely compact and light frame, and a classy all-black exterior. Even with a far-bigger display, the Pixel 4a has very similar dimensions and weight as the SE:<\/p>\n

Pixel 4a:<\/strong> 144 x 69.4 x 8.2mm, 148 grams
iPhone SE:<\/strong> 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3mm, 143 grams<\/p>\n

When it comes to the back of the phone, the SE has the advantage. Not only does the Pixel 4a have an ugly and largely unnecessary camera array, it\u2019s also made of plastic and comes in just one color, black. The SE, on the other hand, comes in three colors and is made of glass, so it feels more luxurious and is less prone to scratches. Even the camera bump is nicer on the SE, with a single circle surrounded by an aluminum ring.<\/p>\n

The Google Pixel 4a has a much higher screen-to-body ratio than the iPhone SE.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But the front is all that really matters when buying a phone, and the 4a excels. The iPhone SE isn\u2019t an ugly phone by any stretch, but it certainly shows its age compared to the 4a. From the gigantic bezels to the small display, the iPhone SE simply isn\u2019t as modern as the Pixel 4a, and Google has put some pressure on Apple to update its design with the SE 2.<\/p>\n

Google Pixel 4a vs iPhone SE:\u00a0Display<\/h2>\n

Along with the iPhone SE\u2019s outdated design comes an outdated display. Nearly every other phone has better screen specs, and the Pixel 4a is no exception:<\/p>\n

Pixel 4a:<\/strong> 5.81-inch Full HD+ OLED, 1080×3240, 443ppi
iPhone SE:<\/strong> 4.7-inch HD LCD, 750×1334, 326ppi<\/p>\n

The Pixel 4a also supports HDR, 10,000:1 super contrast ratio, and of course, the true blacks of OLED displays. The iPhone SE\u2019s screen is probably the best LCD ever made for a smartphone, but it can\u2019t hold a candle\u2014or even a high-res photo of a candle\u2014to the Pixel 4a.<\/p>\n
