Google Pixel 4a features much more storage capacity for apps and games than Google Nexus 5X, because it has 128 GB internal memory. Google Pixel 4a has a camera that is just as good as the camera in Google Nexus 5X, because although the Google Pixel 4a has a tinier back-facing camera sensor which offers a lower photo and video quality, a worse (4K) video definition and a back camera with a worse resolution, it also counts with a bigger aperture to take better low-light photos and videos.
