Comparison review
Google Pixel 4a is a bit better than the Huawei Nova 9, having an 82.9 score against 81. The Google Pixel 4a is an older and a little thicker cellphone than the Huawei Nova 9, but Google managed to build it lighter anyway. Both phones we are comparing here have the same Android 11 OS (operating system).
The Google Pixel 4a counts with a little more vivid screen than Huawei Nova 9, because although it has a bit smaller display, and they both have an equal 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution, the Google Pixel 4a also counts with a little bit greater screen density. The Huawei Nova 9 has a bit better performance than Google Pixel 4a, and although they both have 8 cpu cores, the Huawei Nova 9 also has 2 GB more RAM memory.
The Huawei Nova 9's storage capacity for games and applications is just as good as the Google Pixel 4a one, both of them have exactly the same internal memory. The Huawei Nova 9 shoots better videos and photos than Google Pixel 4a, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not so good for shooting images and video in low light situations, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and the same (4K) video definition, the Huawei Nova 9 also counts with a back facing camera with much more mega-pixels.
The Huawei Nova 9 features a very superior battery duration than Google Pixel 4a, because it has a 37 percent more battery size.
