Comparison review

The Moto G Stylus captures much better videos and photos than Google Pixel 3a, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video quality and the same video frame rate, the Moto G Stylus also has a larger diafragm aperture to capture better captures in low light environments, a much bigger back camera sensor capturing way better quality photographs and a way higher resolution back facing camera.
Although Moto G Stylus is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Google Pixel 3a, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Google Pixel 3a. If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy the Google Pixel 3a, letting go a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most with your savings.
