How does Google's much-delayed mid-range Pixel 4a ($499) stack up against the budget Apple iPhone SE (from $649)?. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Design With a hole-punch selfie camera and thin bezels around its display, the Pixel 4a looks like most Android phones from the past year or two.

Screen Seeing as the Pixel 4a has a 5.8-inch Oled screen compared to the iPhone SE's 4.7-inch LCD, this should be a slam dunk for the Pixel 4a. Winner: The Pixel 4a offers more screen and more pixels than the iPhone SE despite being almost the same size. This is not the case for the iPhone SE's camera, which lacks the Night mode and Deep Fusion features found in more expensive iPhones. While its camera is still decent, it is not as capable as the Pixel 4a's, especially if you often take photos in low light.

The iPhone SE, though, has flagship features in the form of wireless charging and water resistance. It also supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard. For instance, Google has added more privacy controls in Android to match the ones introduced by Apple in iOS. Meanwhile, Apple has taken baby steps towards relaxing its tight grip over iOS by allowing users to set their own default e-mail and browser apps instead of being forced to use Apple's versions.
