Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead
Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video
The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen
Google’s mid-range series of smartphones has never been this good. While I would have liked to see better battery performance, the rest of the Pixel 7a is a triumph.
Excellent camera for the price, Plenty of upgrades over the Pixel 6a, Smart software, Some nice colour options, You want a great phone for a good price: The Pixel 7a ticks a lot of boxes and comes with features often ditched at this price.
Middling battery life, Achingly slow charging, You’re after a multi-day device: The battery life isn’t bad – it’s just not a phone that’ll handle extended heavy use throughout a day and it won’t go multiple days between charges.
Google’s Pixel “a” series has been around for a few iterations now (since the Pixel 3a) and typically offers great value for the price, considering the internals are mostly identical to their flagship lineup.
Solid design, Same Tensor processor as Pixel 7/7 Pro, Decent camera with great photo features like Face Unblur and Magic Eraser, Great battery life, IP67 rating, Wireless charging, Very reasonably priced
Different camera than in Pixel 7/7 Pro, Photo quality a bit odd once using the Super Res Zoom feature, Camera bump begs for case to be used, Only one RAM/storage configuration available
After some battery wobbles that had me temporarily concerned, I've quickly come to regard the Google Pixel 7a as the best affordable phone you can buy right now. It's got the power, the cameras and the looks to impress.
Performance capability well beyond its price point, Great camera improvements for this generation, Android software just runs best on Google
Battery life isn't great – and charging rather slow, Pricier and chunkier than its predecessor, Screen is fairly heavy on bezel
It's easy to get carried away and lose sight of just how far we've come in the smartphone world. Apple's iPhone 14 is 7.8 millimeters thick but can communicate directly with satellites, boasts photographic talents that eclipse dedicated cameras and action cams, and does so starting at just $799.
Improved low-light camera performance, Clever safety features (you hope you won't need)
Improvements feel evolutionary, eSIM may prove a headache, iPhone 13 offers much the same for $100 less
