Hey, what's going on guys, I'm nick Griffith of android, and today I'm doing a camera test with the all-new Pixel 4a, which I'm using to record right now with its main camera on the back now, this device was just unveiled this week, so our full review still isn't quite ready yet, but in this video we're going to show some pictures and the videos that you can capture with the 12.2 megapixel camera, that's on the back, that's the same one as used on the pixel 4 that can record 4k video at 30 frames per second and that's what you're looking at right. Now. As for the front-facing camera, you can record 1080p at 30 fps and that's an 8 megapixel camera. Now that we've gotten the specs out of the way, let's jump into some photos to see how this device actually performs in a variety of different lighting scenarios. As for the front-facing camera on this device, you're only looking at 1080p video at 30 frames per second, but honestly, that's really not that bad. Everyone wants 4k 60fps, but once you push those higher frame rates and the resolution, the sensor isn't able to capture as much light, and that's really important, because usually the front facing cameras on devices are a lot lower quality than the ones we get on the back of the phone.
By limiting the resolution and the frame rate. This is capturing more light, leading to a clearer image for the video with not as much noise, which is kind of nice, and here's a look at the video quality from the Pixel 4a in 4k 30fps. If you do want to shoot, 60 fps you'll have to bump things down to 1080p. But honestly, this is probably good enough for most people, even though it's not the highest frame rate so, and we're going to add some over ripe fruits and vegetables to our compost, pile at least the colors look good. And this here's a look at 4k video from the rear camera shot at 30 fps, which is the max setting for the Pixel 4a.
It is a cloudy and rainy day today, but going to show you what the image stabilization looks like going to zoom in here a little at 5x zoom. The video quality doesn't look incredible, but, as you can see, it is pretty steady, something that you typically don't get without the optical image. Stabilization, so probably gonna need so now capturing video with the front-facing camera in low-light situations. The Pixel 4a actually does fairly well again, because it has that 1080p resolution at 30fps rather than cranking things up to 4k. It would be nice to have higher resolution, but, as you can see, there's a lot less grain here than what you'd get with other mid-range devices that cost 350 dollars, and that's going to do it for this quick camera test with the Pixel 4a.
Honestly, after looking through some of the image samples that I just captured on the device itself, the results look perfect and close to what you would typically get from the pixel 4. , using that main 12 megapixel sensor that the pixel 4 used actually makes this probably one of the best smartphone cameras in the mid-range segment. Probably even up to six to seven hundred dollars and having optical image. Stabilization on that rear camera is amazing for taking low light pictures and keeping video steady even in low light conditions again something that you rarely see on a mid-range device. Let me know what you think of the results in the comments and whether you would buy the Pixel 4a for its cameras and other specs.
Thank you guys so much for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.
