Perhaps neither of these budget phones has the processing chops to produce a jaw-dropping portrait like the iPhone 12 or Pixel 5. It’s a matter of preference, and on higher end Pixels, the zoomed-in style tends to look better. The Pixel 4a opts for a higher zoom, making it ideal for a true portrait, but the Moto’s zoomed out approach is easier to use in real life when photographing someone. The background blur is minimal at best in both the Moto G Stylus 5G’s image and the Pixel 4a’s, but the Moto gets the slightest edge in this shot.
Neither image is bad, but I like the Pixel’s effort a lot more because of its brightness and color capture.įor portrait mode, neither phone did very well. The Pixel 4a took advantage of all the copious amount of light in the room to produce a bright picture. The Moto G Stylus 5G went for a moodier tone, warming the shot up and keeping the exposure a bit lower. However, the differences come down to brightness. Heading inside, both phones are pretty neck and neck with this statue of Merida. We see more natural colors in the Pixel 4a’s shot, and it’s all around a better photo with better contrast. The Moto G Stylus 5G produced a fine photo, but it went too heavy on the colors, especially with the flowers and the cardinal on the sign. In this second outdoor shot, you can see a similar thing happen again. It’s a lively photo, but some details are lost as the saturation is cranked up. The Moto G Stylus, meanwhile, looks somewhat oversaturated in comparison, almost like you’d see on a Samsung phone. The Pixel 4a captured the vibrant pinkish tones of the flowers and the red of the flag, remaining quite true to life. In this first photo outside of these flowers, the Moto G Stylus 5G proved underwhelming. That wasn’t the case in practice, though. And with its single lens, Google’s phone should be at a disadvantage to the Moto G Stylus 5G, at least on paper. I brought the Pixel 4a with me for comparison, since it’s the best photography experience for less than $400 and one of the best camera phones overall.
People are impressed by larger numbers, so including four cameras as a selling point was probably a no brainer for Motorola, even if their utility is dubious at best. While we’ve questioned the need for dedicated macro and depth cameras in the past (especially on budget phones), they’re here because Motorola thinks people want them. The Moto G Stylus 5G sports four cameras: a 48MP main, an 8MP ultrawide, a 5MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor. However, its Delta-E color accuracy score (where 0 is perfect) was quite high at 0.36 versus the Nord N10’s better 0.22.
Compare this to the $300 OnePlus Nord N10 5G, which also has an LCD - it managed 124.8% of the sRGB and 88.4% of the DCI-P3 gamuts. In our lab testing, the Moto G Stylus 5G managed 130.6% of the sRGB spectrum and 92.5% of the more challenging DCI-P3 gamut. There’s nothing wrong with this, but LCDs don’t benefit from dark mode battery savings like OLED panels often can. Since this is an LCD panel, the blacks aren’t as deep as you’d find on an OLED screen and that’s readily apparent with the always-on display.
