The Google Pixel 7a is a mid-range phone that offers many of the features of the Pixel 7 flagship, such as the Tensor G2 processor, a 90Hz OLED display, wireless charging and a 64MP main camera. The phone has a sleek design, a bright screen and excellent photo capabilities with Google's software enhancements. However, the phone also has some drawbacks, such as mediocre battery life, noticeable bezels on the display, and a high price compared to some of its rivals. The phone is suitable for people who want a fast and smart Android phone with a great camera, but don't mind charging it often or paying a premium for it.
If you are looking for a phone that has most of the features of the Pixel 7, but at a lower price, you might want to consider the Pixel 7a. This phone has a 6.1-inch OLED display. The chipset powers Google’s AI and machine learning features. The phone also supports wireless charging and runs on Android 13 with three years of OS update support. However, the phone is not perfect. It has a small 4,385 mAh battery that may not last a full day of heavy use, it has thick bezels around the screen that make it look dated, and it costs more than some of its competitors in the mid-range market. The Pixel 7a is a great choice for people who value performance, software and camera quality over battery life, design and price.
