Pixel 5a Wins the 2021 Blind Smartphone Camera Test!

[PowrDroid]

Marques Brownlee takes the 16 latest smartphones, shoots a collection of different scenes and conditions, posts the photos on Instagram, and asks the public to vote on the best shots. The contest is a single elimination bracket format.

The amazing thing is the Pixel 5a was pitted against the Pixel 6 Pro in the first round and beat it. The second round didn't get any easier as it had the 5a going up against iPhone 13 Pro. Pixel 5a beat the iPhone to advance to the next bracket.

Eventually the Pixel 5a won the whole shooting match.

I'm going to have to sleep one eye open to protect my 5a I can see.

Interesting.
My eyes are not the best. To me all decent phones take great pics.
I am a camera snob during purchase however and will trust reviews.
Guess that is a hinderance of sorts. Latest and greatest ...hmm...maybe not.
My Pixel 6, when updated, has the hardware to dominate. We shall see.
Software is a large part of Google's game.
