An iPhone SE 4 vs. Google Pixel 9a comparison may feel like we're jumping the gun since neither phone is supposed to arrive before early next year. Still, you can understand why the launches of both rumored phones would generate some anticipation,

The Pixel 9 is Google's most affordable flagship this year. It's powered by the same Tensor G4 chip as its siblings and packs a 6.3-inch 120Hz display, a 4,700mAh battery, and 15W wireless charging support. A render of the iPhone 16 at a slight angle against a white background.

The iPhone 16 and Google Pixel 9 sport some of the best cameras, but I learned each has its own strengths and weaknesses after taking 100 pictures.
