IPhone 12's body is just a little bit lighter and a little bit thinner than Google Pixel 4a 5G, although both of them were released only 1 months apart.
Apple iPhone 12 counts with a more vivid screen than Google Pixel 4a 5G, because although it has a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a just a little better display pixel density and a bit higher resolution of 1170 x 2532px. Apple iPhone 12 has a better processing power than Google Pixel 4a 5G, because although it has an inferior number of cores (but faster) and less RAM memory, it also counts with a 64-bit processing unit.
The Google Pixel 4a 5G takes a bit better photographs and videos than Apple iPhone 12, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not good for capturing pictures in low light environments, and they both have the same video resolution and the same 60 fps video frame rates, the Google Pixel 4a 5G also counts with a camera with more MP.
The Google Pixel 4a 5G has a much greater memory for apps and games than iPhone 12, because it has 64 GB more internal memory capacity. The Google Pixel 4a 5G counts with a way better battery life than iPhone 12, because it has 3885mAh of battery capacity.
Although iPhone 12 is a better device, it costs a lot more than Google Pixel 4a 5G, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Google Pixel 4a 5G. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the iPhone 12, else you can save a couple dollars and get the Google Pixel 4a 5G, letting go a couple features and specifications.
