Google is expected to launch the Pixel 4a sometime this month, but someone has already posted a camera review of the phone before the mid-ranger has even been announced.

The leak comes courtesy of Cuban YouTube channel TecnoLikePlus , run by Julio Lusson . The YouTuber had also previously posted a handful of Pixel 4a camera samples on Twitter.

This time, Lusson has released a bunch of new camera samples shot using a pre-release Google Pixel 4a unit. A camera review posted on his blog also details some photography features of the upcoming phone. Let’s take a look at what you can expect from the camera on Google’s iPhone SE competitor .

Pixel 4a camera specs

The camera specs of the Pixel 4a show a borrowed setup from previous Google flagships. You get a rear 2MP Sony IMX sensor with an f / 1. aperture lens and 1.4µm pixel size. This is the same camera sensor as the

Pixel 4

, (Pixel 3a) , and previous models.

On the front, you have an 8MP Sony IMX (selfie sensor with an f / 2.0 aperture lens and 1.) pixm pixel size. It too is the same selfie camera found on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a.

“> Pixel 4a: It’s Google’s time to shine

The universe is conspiring in helping Google achieve success. The sixth phone in the Pixel family will launch later this month, and I think that, despite the bleak circumstances, it will be Google’s most successful release…

Considering the Pixel 4a maintains a flagship-grade camera setup, you can expect to take some pretty good photos with it.

In addition to its top-notch camera specs, the phone also gains some of the same camera modes as its older siblings. You get Google’s fabulous Portrait Mode, the Pixel 4’s Astrophotography mode, Night Sight, and HDR . Interestingly enough, Lusson was able to confirm That the Pixel 4a supports Dual Exposure Controls as well.

Here’s a quick look at some Pixel 4a camera samples. We’ve added a Google Drive link at the bottom of the post so you can see all the camera samples if you want to.

Portrait Mode

In its camera review, (TecnoLikePlus) notes that the Portrait Mode on the Pixel 4a is more or less the same as the Pixel 4. Much like previous previous pixels that lack a secondary sensor, the rear camera on the Pixel 4a achieves an impressive natural blur and images display good exposure, contrast and sharpness. Check out some Portrait Mode samples from the phone below.

Astrophotography Mode and Night Sight

The Astrophotography Mode was introduced with the Pixel 4 and is one of its most sought after camera features. It enables long exposure shots on the Pixel 4 by allowing exposures of up to four minutes. The Pixel 3 and 3a also have the same mode but deliver exposures of up to one minute.

The Pixel 4a likely uses the same exposure time as the Pixel 3 and 3a, but this hasn’t been confirmed in the camera review. Nevertheless, the phone captures really impressive shots of starry skies just like its predecessors.

With the combination of Night Sight and Astrophotography Mode, the phone is able to take some great low -light images. Although the review does say that the colors in these modes can be a bit exaggerated and that images can sometimes lose focus. Check out some camera samples below.
