Nokia 7.2 vs Google Pixel 3a XL vs iPhone 11 Pro _ Camera comparison

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe Nokia 7.2 is HMDs latest and it costs just $350 how does its camera are compared to competitors especially ones like the Google pixel 3a which costs $400 and for good measure we wanted to toss it in the iPhone 11 Pro just to see how these mid-range and budget phones can compare to the flagship models let's check it out I'm in the middle of reviewing the Nokia 7.2 and I'm having a lot of issues with performance seeing a lot of stutters and freezes and this is actually my second unit so I'm in talks with HMT to get a third unit to test that out a little further but we're not sure if I'm just getting duds I've talked to a lot of people in the industry that I've reviewed the phones and also hmd and looked online as well and no one else is having a lot of performance issues that I am so hopefully it's just me getting a few dud units anyway this is a camera comparison so let's check out the photos I'll start with the ultra wide-angle camera which there's one on the nokia 7.2 and there's one on the iPhone 11 Pro there is none on the pixel 3a so it's gonna set out of this competition just for a hot second so we're starting outside this bakery and I took the shot in overcast conditions so the sky was pretty white as you can see though the nokia has an overall hazy look detail is pretty superior around the iPhone which also has better colors the sky was pretty overcast but the iPhone managed to get some depth in there whereas it's a bit flat on the Nokia the Nokia does have distortion correction though but I do like a bit of distortion especially when I use ultra wide-angle cameras so I do like the effect on the iPhone a little more moving on to the pickle fare we're getting a lot of the same results the colors on the Nokia photo look a little dull and washed out and the sky is also a little more dynamic on the iPhone as well as detail is significantly stronger - how does that ultra wide look at night well the iPhone 11 code does not have a night mode that works with the ultra wide-angle camera whereas with the Nokia's on point - you can use a dedicated night mode to get slightly better low-light shots but as you can see here I still think the iPhone wins out in the end because it just has stronger detail and better colors and just overall ambience is a lot nicer looking on the iPhone 11 shot that is of course compared to both of the night mode and non night mode shots of the Nokia 7.2 so if you're hoping to get a lot of good shots Ultra wide on the Nokia 7.2 well you can probably still get some really nice-looking shots in really good lighting particularly you know when it's the skies blue there's not a lot of overcast clouds or anything like that but I think you should temper your expectations just a little bit alright with ultra white out of the way let's talk about the main camera on all three phones specifically in good lighting I went to the pickle fair in New York City and as you can see in these photos the Nokia actually fares well here it does have the most grain compared to the other two with the iPhone having the least I'd say the iPhone is brighter overall but I'm not a fan of that yellowish hue again that we're seeing here I'm a big fan of the contrast of the pixel shot even if it is a little bit underexposed compared to the iPhone but I do think the cooler tones work better here you can also see that the pixel did a great job and it's the only one that properly exposed the sky it's just a little too flat white on the other two phones altogether these phones are all taking pretty good shots here though next up I'm taking a picture of my dog who's just trying to sleep I'm definitely bothering him but I'd say I'd like the Nokia picture here it exposes the room well and the colors look nice the detail is just a bit fuzzy if you zoom in on the dog's face the iPhone 11 pros photo here tries to expose the sky correctly more so than the others but again what's up with that warm tone I like the pixels colors more and it also offers up the best detail whereas there are more visible amounts of grain on the iPhone shot alright who's ready for some food it was actually pretty dark in this restaurant but all these photos are relatively sharp I think the Nokia struggles the most here with detail but it's not far behind I think the white balance and colors are pretty good here as on the pixel 3a photo but it's quite poor on the iPhone it looks over sharpened and the colors just did not look anything like that at the restaurant it doesn't look appetizing I think the pixel fared the best here but the Nokia isn't too far behind all right let's dim the lights now time for some night shots and we're starting in a park these are all respectable photos but you can see how superior the detail is on the iPhone 11 pros photo look at the leaves in particular it's pretty stunning and it manages to keep the colors looking pretty good the pixel has nicer details than the Nokia shot but the colors are a little more saturated the Nokia is alright but it just feels like there's nothing quite sharp in the shot now let's take that same scene and use each cameras respective night mode the improvements are pretty stunning across the board more so for the iPhone and pixel than the Nokia the iPhones shot looks a bit warmer but that's how it actually looked like as there was a street lamp pretty close by the detail is simply scrumptious with fantastic colors overall the pixel three A's photo is easily better than its non nitesite version but you can see the colors are still punchy er if you like that you might like this photo but I do think the iPhone has slightly stronger details compare the tree in the back for example on both and the iPhone also exposes the lights better than the pixel the Nokia 7.29 mode definitely improved the colors here but not all parts of it are as sharp as the original photo likely because night mode is a long exposure and there's no optical image stabilization here's one where all three were actually surprisingly pretty good this is without the night modes and I'd say the pixel did the best job but there's not a crazy difference between the rest here the pixel 3/8 is the brightest overall and it retains nice colors I'd say it colors are a bit more accurate on the iPhone shot but it's just a bit too dark for me my phone does have the least grain though the Nokia is very similar to the pixel including with its colors but it over exposes just a little bit in certain parts of the street regardless a pretty strong showing from all these phones all right with the night mode versions of these scenes you can see the iPhone is easily the best here after using its night mode it's still a great detail and it exposes the photo almost perfectly the pixel 3 a's photo is still really good i just think it now looks a little too bright probably one of those instances where I wouldn't use night sight the colors look a little too punchy again as well and sadly I feel like the Nokia's photo went back a step because it actually looks a little more fuzzy in a lot of areas in this shot detail is just not great but I'd say the photo is still shareable but as I said the iPhone is still clearly the winner here now let's move on to portrait mode all of these phones have portrait mode the Nokia 7.2 also has a dedicated 5 megapixel depth sensor to help pick up on those depth effects for better portrait mode shots so let's see how they fare now here's a surprise the iPhone fails pretty hard with this portrait mode shot of the pickle I even gave it a few tries and it kept coming back at me with the shot of this poorly blurred out tip of the pickle if it helps I like the rest of the show the pixel 3a is damn near close to perfect with just slight slip-ups by my fingers but the blur effect and colors are really nice the nokia is also really strong here but I'm not as much of a fan of the colors and it does mess up just a bit by where the pickles need still fail on the part of the $1100 iPhone it's not all doom and gloom for the iPhone though because it easily takes the cake here for the best portrait mode shot the colors are so good the blur effect and outline is spot-on and there's good detail even if there is a bit of grain when you zoom in on the girl's face the pixel 3a does a pretty great job here as well with the detail and blur effect and outline I'm just not as much of a fan of the colors as I am on the iPhone shot the Nokia is well something I probably would never share the detail isn't great even though the bokeh is still really cool and strong and accurate for the most part the colors are just so lifeless selfie time they can all take pretty good selfies during the day so I wanted to focus on low-light selfies here the pixel 3a has the least amount of grain and it's noticeably more detailed and sharper than the iPhone 11 pro selfie I do like the colors in it too the iPhone 11 pro shot just has so much grain though I do think my skin tone is a little more accurate the Nokia 7.2 shot is not bad just zoom in and you'll see even more grain than the iPhone by the way of all these phones only the pixel 3 A's night mode works on the front camera so here's what that looks like next to these other phones it's significantly brighter but it still retains the same level of detail and has even less grain than before it also makes the background a bit more interesting it's nice to have this feature but I don't think it's necessarily needed here I probably go with the normal lens rather than using the Nightside feature but still nice to have let's take that same shot and use portrait mode I still think that the pixel 3 A's photo comes out on top for at least having the least amount of grain and the best detail but I like my skin tone on the iPhone shot more I also love the bouquet effect on the iPhone and Nokia photos more so than on the pixel which looks a bit weak the Nokia cuts off a bit of my hair and is a bit too aggressive with the effect you can customize this in the camera but this is the default zoom in on my face though and you'll see that detail is just lacking for $350 the Nokia 7.2 does pretty well unfortunately pixel 3a does a little bit better especially at its $400 price which is just $50 more so if that $50 difference is a big deal to you well then go for the 7.2 but if it's not so much of a big deal go for the pixel 3a thanks for watching everyone what do you think do you have any other different
