Keep in mind, the Pixel 3a and 3a XL start at $399 and $479, respectively, so you’re getting almost the same experience at half the cost. The Pixel 3 XL is the reigning king, but it was a very, very close match up. The standard 5x speed may be sufficient for cars and people, but 30x or 120x may be more beneficial for time lapses of clouds or sunsets. You even have various options to increase the speed, which can be beneficial based on what you’re filming. It’s a Time Lapse mode, and you can capture video to create an effect that speeds it all up, as though time is passing quickly. There’s one new camera feature in the Pixel 3a and 3a XL, but it’s also making its way to all the other Pixel phones, so the Pixel 3a doesn’t have any real edge here. Both phones were in about the same place when this photo was captured. Look at the photo of the flower below and see how much closer it is in the Pixel 3a XL photo compared to the Pixel 3 XL image. It means you’ll have to step back a bit in your photos to get the subject fully in the frame. Here’s one area where there’s a difference between the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3 - in Portrait Mode, the Pixel 3a crops into the image much more than the Pixel 3. Winner: Pixel 3a XL Portrait Mode during the day I prefer the latter, along with the cooler look paired with more natural colors, so the Pixel 3a XL scrapes a win. The winner here will ultimately depend on whether you like the more saturated look, or the sharper details. You can still see these strands in the Pixel 3 photo, but they’re not as sharp. Zoom in on the eyebrow, for example, and you can individually count the strands of hair. That being said, the Pixel 3a XL’s image is a bit more detailed. That’s not to mention the subject’s skin color, which is warmer and more vibrant. The leaves of the tree in the background are greener than in the Pixel 3a XL photo. The Pixel 3’s photo is more visibly saturated. There’s one difference here that’s relatively easily noticeable. I tried to capture these photos in automatic mode as naturally as I could to mimic the average person. If the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a have the same rear camera, how can one win over the other? There are still some other factors that can affect the end result, though different-looking images could ultimately be due to hand shake, a moving subject, a change in lighting, or a multitude of reasons. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL introduce a new Time Lapse mode, but this will make its way to all Pixel phones. Otherwise, all the two features between the cameras are the same. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL lack this chip, which is why image processing is slower, but the engineers spent months reengineering Pixel 3 camera capabilities into the Snapdragon 670 processor that power the Pixrl 3a and 3a XL. The Pixel 3 and 3 XL also have a custom Pixel Visual Core chip, which helps with machine learning and speedier image processing.

One is a normal lens with an f/1.8 aperture and a 75 degree field of view (FoV), and the other is a wide-angle lens with an f/2.2 aperture and a 97 degree FoV. The Pixel 3 XL has two front-facing cameras, both with 8 megapixels. The selfie camera situation is a little different.
