Pixel 6a versus Galaxy S22 Ultra camera comparison: not a fair fight
Google’s new Pixel 6a has been getting a lot of good and bad attention lately. While there’s some debate over the phone’s lackluster display, most reviews agree that the Pixel 6a has one of the best camera setups for a mid-range smartphone. The Pixel 6a can easily outperform most other mid-range smartphones, but how does it fare when stacked up against a device like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra?
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra takes smartphone camera hardware to the next level with a 108MP main camera, two zoom cameras (one of which features 10x optical zoom), and one of the best selfie cameras on the market.
