If you want to argue that the brighter lawn and trees in the A54 photo look more appealing, I'm not going to tell you you're wrong, but I think the point of an ultrawide shot should be to emphasize the big picture. The Pixel 7a's habit of embracing the darkness serves it well when testing ultrawide lenses - the darker cast to its shot highlights details on the buildings that are otherwise lightened out of existence in the Galaxy A54 shot. Ultimately, I prefer the Galaxy A54 shot, not because I necessarily prefer its highly saturated colors but because the lettering on the plane itself looks a little sharper than in the Pixel 7a photo. The Galaxy A54 leans toward a more stylized picture - the lawn has been brightened while the patches of blue sky have been darkened to create a greater contrast within the photo itself. The Pixel 7a's photo looks more realistic, with the darker lawn and somewhat lighter sky.

There's not a lot separating the different photos of a decommisioned Navy jet turned into a statue, so the winner likely comes down to how you want your camera phone depicting scenes. That said, I do think the way the Pixel 7a presents the leafs on the trees in the background it looks a bit more striking than the somewhat washed-out effort of the Galaxy A54. It's a far more balanced shot that isn't overly dark in areas. With its lighter hand, the Galaxy A54 highlights more details like the different surfaces of the ticket booth as well as individual horses in the background. You lose a lot of detail and contrast on the carousel itself, with the black iron fence in front of the carousel blending in with the horses in the background. Both phones have taken decent photos, but the Pixel 7a shot is too caught up in the shadows. Outdoors, CarouselĪ photo of the carousel in New York's Bryant Park offers another contrast between dark and light. There's even too much of a sheen off the bug's red head, though I do like the vibrant colors of the chicken off to the side in the Galaxy A54 photo.

In contrast, the Galaxy A54 over-exposes its shot, with the yellow and orange sections losing important detail. I also like that the orange and yellow parts of the sculpture appear textured in the Pixel 7a shot - it helps you see that the bug's nose is really just a pair of tongs painted yellow. This bug sculpture features rich reds and deep greens in the Pixel 7a's reproduction. Sometimes, that doesn't work out for the finished product, but in this case, it really helps the Pixel 7a's photo look balanced and colorful. Samsung Galaxy A54 photo comparison, you're going to see that Google's phone tends to favor dark colors.
