Our experts were also pleased with the depth estimation in bokeh mode, but noted some noise and a loss of fine detail in low light.<\/p>\n<p>The Pixel 7a also performed very well in video mode, thanks to a wide dynamic range, as well as generally accurate white balance and skin tones.  Video stabilization was also excellent, effectively counteracting hand shake and stabilizing the subject&#8217;s face in the frame.  On the downside, our testers noted a lack of detail in low-light recordings, as well as occasional high levels of video noise.<\/p><div id=\"forum-1877322603\" class=\"forum-content forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col large-12\">\n<div class=\"echarts-item\">\n<p>Google Pixel 7a selfie scores compared to the high-end<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col large-12\">\n<p>\n                    <em>This graph compares overall SBMARK Selfie photo and video scores between tested and referenced devices.

Evaluation is performed by visually inspecting images Cons a natural scene reference and by performing objective measurements on laboratory-acquired graph images under various lighting conditions from 1 to 1,000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300 K to 6,500 K.
