Google unveiled the Pixel 6a at I/O 2022, while Apple launched the iPhone SE (2022) earlier this year, so how do the two mid-range phones compare? Google announced a bunch of new products at its developer conference, including the Pixel 6a and Pixel Buds Pro.

The biggest and most obvious difference between the Pixel 6a and the iPhone SE 3 is their design. While the former comes with large screen and a punch-hole camera that give it a modern appearance, the iPhone SE 3 looks like a blast from the past, thanks to its puny 4.7-inch display and chunky bezels on all sides. The LCD panel on the iPhone SE 3 lacks the vibrancy of an AMOLED screen. In comparison, the Pixel 6a ships with a comparatively larger 6.1-inch OLED panel that should offer more punchy colors and a better multimedia experience. Unfortunately, both devices miss out on a high refresh rate display and are stuck at 60Hz.

Cameras are another area where the two phones differ. While the iPhone SE 3 has a single 12-megapixel sensor at the back, the Pixel 6a comes with dual rear cameras that include a 12-megapixel primary and a 12-megapixel secondary (ultra-wide) shooter. The camera software also includes Pixel's Magic
