Fairphone 4 versus Google Pixel 6a
In this post I’ll compare the cameras of the Fairphone 4 and the Google Pixel 6a. Every photo on the left is the FP4 and the right one is the 6a.
It’s up to you to decide if this is a fair comparison. Both phones have different missions. But this does put the quality a bit in perspective. To be fair, the lighting conditions kind of favor the Fairphone. In bright light the Fairphone is struggling with the dynamic contrast and color ranges. The season simply doesn’t allow a sunny day comparison at the moment.
I think the cameras on average perform equally. Until it becomes more challenging with the light and zoom. I think Fairphone can be proud. However, they still need to work on better auto focus and dynamic contrast and light. Also the video stabilization is quite poor and the color accuracy of videos and sound quality is terrible. There is work to be done, but so far they delivered a fairly usable camera which will be sufficient for not too demanding environments.
