iPhone SE vs Google Pixel 4A
It seems that the main competitor of the new iPhone SE will be the Pixel 4A from Google, at least from the pricing comparison. Performance wise the iPhone should score better, while Goolge’s smartphone wins the screen head-to-head.
The comparison of the Camera’s should place the Pixel 4A ahead when it comes to photos, while the iPhone SE edges in front when it comes to video/audio quality.
