Budget-friendly devices with cool cameras and good performance are always welcome to the smartphone market, where big flagships for more than $1k fight fiercely for attention. Affordable smartphones, however, are necessary, especially in current challenging economic times. These days, you can get a pretty capable smartphone for around $300-$400 and still be quite happy with it.
But as affordable phones get better and better, we are bound to ask ourselves which phone might satisfy our needs the best for a given budget. GooglePixel 4a, a very cool smartphone with a gorgeous camera is on the top of the list of possible candidates for the best budget-friendly smartphone.
On the other hand, we have Motorola which seems to release a new budget-friendly or mid-range smartphone every month… with the Moto G Stylus, a good smartphone with a built-in Stylus.
Now, one of the important things about smartphones is specifications and performance. After all, these are made to serve our demanding schedules at school, work, or play and have to be able to provide some good performance.
One point that the Pixel 4a wins over the Moto G Stylus is for multitasking, where the 6GB of RAM offers snappy and responsive multitasking, while the Moto’s 4GB of RAM could be felt in some multitasking situations. Some apps would close in the background and you will have to wait for them a couple of seconds to restart.
The camera is really important on smartphones these days, as part of the appeal of a good smartphone is a good camera. The Pixel series of phones come with stunning cameras and some crazy-good image processing that puts them among the best camera phones on the market. And the Pixel 4a definitely doesn’t disappoint in this regard.
On the other hand, the Moto G Stylus features a triple-camera system with a main sensor of 48MP but lacks the image-processing capabilities that Google has engrained in the Pixel. The Moto does a good job in good lighting conditions, with enough detail and a realistic dynamic range. However, the Moto performs slightly worse than the Pixel 4a on indoor photos and low-light situations.
Both phones have support for Night mode, Google calls it Night Sight while Motorola, Night Vision. In both cases, photos turn out good, however, the Moto G Stylus struggles in some situations to give an adequate amount of detail to a night photo.
Here, the winner between the two affordable handsets is clear with a distinguishable 1 hour of superiority for the Moto G Stylus’ 4,000mAh battery cell. In our browsing test, the Moto surprises us with a stunning performance of 13h and 5 minutes, while the Pixel 4a, despite being with a smaller screen, only lasted 9h 27 minutes with its 3140mAh battery.
On YouTube video streaming and 3D gaming, the Pixel 4a again scored lower than the Moto G Stylus, so if you really need a big battery that can last up to two days of light usage, the Moto G Stylus is the better option to go for.
As for charging, the Pixel 4a supports 18W fast charging, while the Moto G Stylus supports up to 15W of fast charge. Although both are not crazy 60W fast chargers, both smartphones battery cells could be topped off for about an hour and a half from empty to full.
