Google Pixel 4a and Xperia 1 count with quite similar cameras, because although the Google Pixel 4a has a smaller aperture which is worse for capturing photos or videos in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same (4K) video quality, it also counts with a bigger back camera sensor which provides a higher photo and video quality, a camera with more megapixels and higher 30 frames per second video frame rate.
Even being the best phone of the ones we are comparing, the Google Pixel 4a is also a bargain compared to the other devices.
