Google Pixel 6a Camera & Display Score Release

After undergoing both DXOMARK Camera & Display quality tests, the Google Pixel 6a demonstrated an excellent performance in camera (2^nd position in DXOMARK High-End camera ranking, just behind the Google Pixel 6) enabling Google to rank its two devices in the top 2 of the segment, and a good display performance (4^th position in DXOMARK High-End display ranking) allowing it to obtain both the Gold Camera and Silver Display labels.

Here is a quick recap.

CAMERA in a nutshell

With an overall Camera score of 130, the Google Pixel 6a demonstrated a very good video and camera performance for a device of this range , obtaining the DXOMARK Camera Gold label.

Though it features a slightly less sophisticated camera hardware than the Pixel 6. Despite these hardware differences, the device’s image rendering is coming very close to the impressive score of the Pixel 6. On the plus side, the Pixel 6a’s smaller sensor offers a slightly wider depth of field providing a better sharpness on background subjects: ideal for group shots with better detail on all faces. The camera also does very well for exposure, especially in low light and night scenes. Only main noticeable drawbacks are shadow noise, even in bright light, and a lower level of captured detail in all light conditions.

In video, the Pixel 6a does well too and is very close to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro in terms of exposure, color, and stabilization in most tested conditions, proving excellent results considering its price segment. Plus, the Pixel 6a’s autofocus is fast and repeatable, good for shooting in outdoor and indoor conditions. On the downside, compared to the best-in-class Pixel 6, the device suffers from a strong drop of detail.
