In the world of smartphones, two budget-friendly contenders have emerged: the Google Pixel 6a and the iPhone SE 3rd Generation (or 3rd Gen). They both offer users a taste of superb features without breaking the bank. Which one is best for you? Read on to find out.
Google Pixel 6a vs. iPhone SE: Camera
Both the Google Pixel 6a and the iPhone SE 3rd Generation have decent camera capabilities. Either of these phones will take satisfactory photos for the price. However, while the iPhone takes good day shots and videos, it lacks an ultrawide mode and a night mode. On that front, the Google Pixel outshines the iPhone.
