PIXEL 7A vs GALAXY A54 - Tested & Compared!

Hi Mike, great video (as always). I chose Samsung mainly because of its global availability. I don't understand why the Pixel is so limited in availability. I think it's sold in a maximum of 20 countries... and where I live, importing a Pixel is a complete madness. You end up paying the price of an S23 or iPhone 14 for a $499 device. See you next time, cheers!

First, I bought a Pixel 7a to replace my Pixel 6 because it was supposed to have a better cell reception, and fingerprint scanner. Plus, face recognition to boot! Well, I paid $450 for it, and I personally didn't see that improvement, and the face recognition fairly often said, not enough light. So, I started checking out the A54, and found one on Amazon during Prime Day for $328 with a written free return. I jumped on it, and was very surprised, in a good way. It's not as speedy, but it is very fluid and enjoyable to use. Geekbench 6 results were 23% slower in single thread, and only 13% slower in multi-threading, but in real world feedback I don't feel it at all. It unlocks on command every time, has a brighter screen that is very aesthetic and just offers a reliable feel every single time I use it. Overall, it's a joy to use, and I do not miss the Pixel's extra horsepower at all.

[@dhanukavithana9990]

I like the Pixel phone, but I had to buy the A54 because there is no warranty for Pixel in Sri Lanka, and the signal coverage in our country is really bad. Pixels have signal issues, so if I bought a Pixel, I might end up with a phone that can't even make a phone call. Nowadays, 1 USD equals 320 Sri Lankan rupees, so I would have to pay 320 times the dollar amount. If there is no warranty, I would end up losing a lot of money. The Pixel is a great phone that offers premium features, a great software experience, and a better camera.

[@Bardim18]

Same goes for Greece, there's no warranty here for Pixel either and the Pixel devices are not supported by our mobile network providers. So, I will go for the A54 even though Pixel 7a is objectively the better device.

[@johnbaker5248]

As someone who used both latest generation samsung and google phones, get samsung if hardware is what you want (best battery life, speakers, brightness) and get pixel if you want a good software experience.

Why does everybody hate the macro lenses? I had to buy a set of lenses to use macro, and macro is the only one that's worth using. The fisheye is useless because there's so much distortion. The wide angle is fine, but it's not worth carrying an extra lens; I only use the one built into my new phone once in a while for to get all of something in a picture from close quarters. Landscapes get lost in it. The macro, I can use to read microscopic text on packaging, get super close to bugs to better identify, get some really nice and soft ambient photos for my desktop background, etc. There's so many uses.

[@MainInternetUser]

On budget and midrange phones macro lenses are just a way to make it seem like it has more cameras. Usually they are terrible quality and useless, the ultra wide lenses often take much better quality macro shots (that's what's done on flagships) no wonder they only put them on cheap phones and put telephotos (which are way more useful) on the more expensive phones

[@jackwilson4284]

I'd like to see the Pixel 7a compared to the Galaxy S22. The previous generation flagship is starting to see some very good clearance deals now; and with prices roughly matching the new midrange, I think they'd be an interesting comparison.

The downside of the Pixel is the support. Its not supported in many countries, you will lose a ton of features like VoWIFI, VoLTE, 5G, etc. Not to mention, not supported country means no repairability. I'm only scraping the bottom there are ton more features disabled when you're in a country that does not support a pixel. Ton of reviewers forget about this. The phone market isn't just the US, or some mainstream part of EU. When reviewing support take in mind of other COUNTRIES.

[@christyjeplin6852]

A lot of people tend to dismiss the important of OS update. A54 is an investment phone for productivity use. You can save your money by using it up to 5 years as samsung provides 4 years OS update and 5 years security update. For other A samsung phone, sure it is fun on first 2 years. After that, good luck on getting the OS update.

I have a a54 I am returning when my 7a arrives, I have spent many hours reviewing both phones, the a54 pros imo is mainly its expandable storage and 5 years of updates, the storage is great for anyone that has limited data, you can turn it into a multimedia beast, when it comes to the actually guts it can not compare to the 7a, faster processor, 2 more gb of ram "for some reason the a54 in the US only has 6gb ram", clean unbloated OS, also it helps now that you get a pair of google buds and a case for free from google. It is when you benchmark both phones you start to see the real difference.

[@airrunner85]

Don't forget that the a54's battery is leaps and bounds superior to the Pixel 7. Pixel 7 battery life is borderline unacceptable. Even with the adaptive settings, it's shockingly poor. No doubt it will be much worse after 6 to 12 months of use. Then you have the poor fingerprint reader and average screen. The only compromise is some speed and camera which are all marginal. The a54 makes a much superior all-round package of a phone. Better screen, better battery, more premium build and ip68.

The A54 has dual sim capabilities & a microSD card slot. Not only that, you can buy it for $380 today new, factory unlocked, delivered to your home. The 7a is $500 + sales tax.

​@@a_draw5814Who still uses a micro sd card? I haven't put a micro sd card in my cell phone for 10 years because it's completely unnecessary, and as far as the software is concerned, I don't know who will have a cell phone for more than four years.

[@MadMike1963]

I still use my a52s 5g and it working well even with android 14 and charges quite well at 25% I think. Camera is quite good. Was a great seller I heard 2 years ago. Due an upgrade,may be keep it another year and do a sim contract for 12 months and wait for a redmi note for better standard features rather than just the camera.

[@COOCOCUZZO]

The ring round the camera helps with eye alignment. It's annoying to not know where to look when being in photos because the camera blends in with the black

[@sparklingsoda9989]

I would be interested in seeing a blind camera comparison between Pixel 6A, Pixel 7A and Pixel 7 Pro. maybe you can ask a friend or family member to take photos, or you ask them to compare them.

[@pepsidudeify]

Great video Mike!! Is the pixel 7a better than the S21 FE or are they comparable?

[@ecooutdoors]

I'm coming from an old note 9 and wondering if it'll be better

[@tommanseau6277]

It's not about the phone, it's about the carrier. Stop worrying about the phone hardware. After having Pixel phones for years, I got the S23. But then I found out that Verizon purposefully REMOVED Samsung's call filtering and "suggests" their paid service because their "free" tier is completely and utterly useless. I haven't owne an iPhone in years, but suspect it's the same for Apple phones too. The Pixel line has built in call filtering which works amazingly well, to the point I never gave it a thought until it was no longer there.

[@si7i88]

Great review! I wonder how the A54 would compare to the S22 ultra, and the S23 FE coming out.

[@mitchy98]

Cant compare it to the S22 ultra though

[@steveguy3]

It'll compare badly and get absolutely crushed. Might have longer software support, but there's a high chance the a54 will slow down more and more like the older ones did.

[@anandsjha]

Check out MKBHD's comparison of A54 with flagships.

[@sagarmistry5920]

S23fe is coming ??? With all the back and forth around its launch, not really sure if that is a model to be considered, since it would slot directly against the A54

[@GoombaPoopEater]

there will be no more fe's@@sagarmistry5920

[@Warrenpillay0609]

Between the a54 and nothing phone 1 which would be a better pick(exclude the glyph interphase when deciding)?

[@andiandi9202]

Sadly google only sells pixel on several country, most country in the world didn't get the chance to get it officially in their country, and if people do international shipping just to get the pixel, some feature will be locked. You can't use the 5G too since google locked it, not to mention the price increased by a lot because of international shipping, it can jump up from 499$ to 650$-700$ after taxes

[@legelf]

did you say no bloatware for the pixel? theres a ton of bloatware, the same as the galaxy A54

[@MainInternetUser]

Maybe in your country (i doubt google never do that) but for example in europe and the USA the Pixel have barely any bloatware compared to others, not even the google suite (gmail doesn't count) even Apple has garbage with garage band and itunes.. Samsung has a ton of garbage like Xiaomi so you're the biggest liar here. They have ALL Microsoft apps, stupid games, all samsung apps even the useless ones, Absolutely untrue what you said

S21 fe has bad battery life, thats probably the biggest problem with it..

[@rationalexistence]

Google made stupid decision to make the Pixel 7a expensive and reduce updates! Pixel were known for their updates. I used 3a and own now a 4a from 2 years, it was a good value proposition until now. But now I'm not sure about spending 500 bucks for 3 year updates and small battery while other competitors offer the same at same price. Also you can get a much better Pixel 7 for a couple bucks more. I know manufacturing costs are high but remember they removed charger brick too! Pixel A lineup was go to phone for midrange buyers but it won't sustain in future due to ever increasing price.

[@schnickschnack4030]

Did they offer more updates in the past ? And will your phone stop working after the last update ? I use mine since 5 years, Android 10

[@rationalexistence]

@@schnickschnack4030 In past they have supported models for 4 and some for 5 years, now it's only security updates for 5 years and Android update for 3 years. Your phone will keep working for years as long as you meet minimum Android version required by apps to function. Google adds new software features with "Pixel Feature Drop" which you will miss if you are not on latest version of Android.

[@sven5666]

The pixel 4a got a lot shorter software support. Feature updates are less important than security. Usually after 3 years the hardware doesn't really fit the newest features hw requirements anymore as well.

[@rationalexistence]

@@sven5666 Yes you are right, but as of now the average upgrade cycle is 2 years so offering 3 years Android updates doesn't seem that good of deal and Samsung offering 4 Android updates. Longevity of a phone should be customers decision even iPhones give 5 years without asking any questions.

[@sven5666]

@@rationalexistence yes, the user should be able to decide. Security updates are important for it. Imho it needs 5 years security updates starting to count when sales are stopped - so each device can be used for at least 5 years.

[@soadfacu]

Here in South America we don't really use NFC and wireless charging and 5G is starting to take of recently. So i understand why Samsung decide not to included and the Google Pixel is not that available.

[@Kunchurofficial]

How about camera shattering issue reported in Pixel 7?

[@contentwatcher1629]

The pixel 7a is good enough but I can't help feeling that it was a waste. They could have just dropped the 7's price...

[@bobbysworldrox]

They did it's $500 everywhere

[@Starmast3rmusic]

It's all moot when you look at it from a security perspective. Samsung previously got caught missing security updates. Google has a better security track record compared to Samsung, also considering they make android. Also, google devices are the only ones that support GrapheneOS, so until that changes, it's Pixel. Hopefully, that changes in the future though.

[@Mindphaser1]

But on the other hand you're spied better by Google on your own phone...

[@bhanudiehard]

Exactly the video I was looking for!

[@Bmontepeque11]

Samsung should really get rid of that silver ring on the front camera 🙄 Also, what about comparing the Pixel 7a vs the iPhone 13 Mini? :)

[@divano1014]

Please compare performance and battery life to the 6a. The 6a already has incredible performance for the price but still has stutters sometimes and I'd like to know how much smoother the 7a would be with the extra ram and G2 chip

[@muhammadzinc5228]

I just changed from Pixel 7 (regular) to Galaxy A54. I love the A54 way more. WAY better display and WAY better battery life. I wasn't lasting full work day on my Pixel 7. By the time my Pixel 7 would die, my A54 now has 47% battery remaining. It's a monster.

[@jevonsims900]

So on average the A54 5G last about 4-5hrs. longer than Pixel 7a.

[@muhammadzinc5228]

@Jevon Sims probably like 3.5 - 4 hours more. My Pixel 7 i had for a almost a eight months so there is a chance my battery health decreased a bit. Not by much but a bit.

[@ÆßV]

Pixel 7 has a better display than Galaxy A54

[@muhammadzinc5228]

@ѕυмє∂н 𓀫 • 12 years ago no way. A54's is AMOLED while Pixel is just OLED. I have both phones in front of me and Samsungs is way better. Stop talking bullshit when you don't even have the two phones in front of you.

[@marksouthwell4490]

Samsung's have amazing displays. I've always found Google pixel displays a bit lackluster. I'm thinking of changing my pixel 6 to the A54. I'm not so much bothered about cameras , as I have my own dedicated mirror less cameras. The A54 does have a good camera though, as does the pixel range 😊

Fp was broken on Pixel 6 series. It improved on 7/7 pro and it's way better now on 7A. I registered my thumb twice and it unlocks every single time and quite quickly.

Great comparison! Next time,iPhone se3 vs pixel 7a vs galaxy a54 comparison please

[@gedias1]

The one thing I was concerned with, is that the A54, released in 2023, has already been pulled from market, and I can only speculate why.

[@B0uff0s]

regarding the phones backs, i never get the appeal of glass back. Over the years i had both and the gl;ass back is a fingerprint magnet. Furthermore, it usually inside a case that is non seethrough most of the times. Personally, i'd take a plastic back over a glass one every day.

[@lastseenoutdoors]

Don't know why people are bothered about glass back when they simply put a case over it

[@mrraccoon6264]

Most people are still buying an iPhone no matter the price. It dominates the American market and your are probably considered an outcast if you go for an Android. Peer Pressure always has that effect.

I have an A53 as my work phone and I really don't rate it. Is there a way to turn off the home button and use swipes instead?

[@anonymousperson5441]

Yes in setting

[@MoonkeyMod]

Which performs better for live streaming on tiktok for instance, will either of these overheat if used to stream the camera for an hour or two?

[@thathsaraamarasinghe6774]

As someone using the A54, the 7a is definitely better in most areas. But Pixels aren't locally available in my country so they tend to be expensive compared to the A54 (which I got for like $300)

[@CODwarriorBD]

@03:03 Yup, absolutely the biggest win ! Let's wait for 4 hours to wirelessly(7.5 watt) fully charge the 4,385 mah battery of my Pixel 7A in the middle of the day because this phone is not battery efficient at all ! That's a huge win for me !!! Absolutely !!!

[@ethanpenn5]

Is it too early to place bets on what hardware feature is going to spontaneously fail on the 7a?

[@urbn9t]

And what software bugs will surface.
