Pixel 3a RAW files look under saturated in Lightroom Classic

[p49759303]

In Lightroom 8.4.1, the .dng files from my Pixel 3a look undersaturated compared to their jpg equivalents.  What's happening here?  Is there any way I can get the color of .dng files to look more like the jpgs?

Here is a side by side

Hi there,

Would you mind confirming if the images look fine on the Phone and just like the JPEGs?

Normally the JPEGs are processed on the Phone or in the Camera itself resulting in more saturated colors while the RAW or DNG files do not have any editing applied to them. I hope this will help:

Thanks for the reply.  The DNGs viewed on Lightroom mobile have the same unsaturated look.   When I try to view the DNGs with the default Google Photo app, it gets weird.  The color of the DNGs in Google Photos is fine but it's all pixelated.  When I get photo info from within Google Photo, it will say 0.3MP 504x672 11MB.  When I get photo info for the same file from a file browser like Solid Explorer, it displays the same pixelated image but the photo info will be correct,  3024x4032 11MB.  When the same DNG is viewed in Lightroom mobile, it actually displays correctly 3024x4032, just under saturated.

I found that boosting the saturation to around 85 seems to get the DNG to look very close to the jpg equivalents.
