7:56 I want to point out that while GG3 came out in 2013, glass tech IMO doesn’t really matter much; if it’s glass, it WILL shatter. It WILL get scratched. I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I own a Pixel 6a for my Android experiences and I STILL slap on screen protectors on all my devices, no matter what kind of glass is being used.

[@pickpennyrd9183]

Great comparison video - I couldn't decide on the 7 or 6a - this video really helped - going with the 6A.

[@afw7964]

Thanks for your appreciation of the Pixel 6A. As a person that just purchased one here in the U.S., the price point versus performance features, was an elegant tradeoff. Very nice to see shared sentiment. My 6a replaced a broken (touch screen failure no cracked screen) Pixel 4a. That was a step up with battery life and processor speed.

[@DHRME]

Thanks for sharing!

[@grimmsheldon]

This is good content. I'm sitting here debating trading in my 4a for one of these phones while they are on sale, approx. $150 separating them. I appreciate you chose the 6a and not just push consumers to the "technically" better device.

Thanks a lot :D it helped me make a decision on buying the 6a. The fact that you really spoke to what we as users normally do with the phones was the best thing I saw in a review because it talked directly to me so I wish the best of luck and hope you either maintain the same quality or blow my mind with other cool things that you 2 come up with.

I just picked up a 6a last week to replace an older Motoroaly G7 Power , I will say that th ebattery life on the G7 power is far better, as wel as fast charging, but that is it, the Pixel 6a thus far has easily outperformed the older G7 I had and personally like you guys mentioned I actually found the smaller display on 6a to be refreshing and it fits nicely in your pocket- Not going to mention the camera on the 6A as thats noted almost everywhere and hands down a great performer esp at the price- oh speaking of which I picked up my 6A for 249.00 US and tax. I was going to wait and try a 7A but at the price differnce I am glad to see I have choosen wisely! Nice review guys!

I picked the 6a. - Lower cost. - Lighter in weight, easier to pick up, pocketable. - Looks better i think. - 60Hz means the battery lasts longer. - I'm not a gamer and don't need a top of the line processor nor an extra +2GB of ram. - The camera bar does not stick out. It can sit flat on the table. - Would have appreciated a higher megapixel camera as i often want to zoom in to see things in the picture. - Would have appreciated wireless charging, but not with the increase in weight.

[@TayoOlasope]

So in summary, you find the Pixel 7 marginally better in most aspects apart from the smaller size and dual colour on the 6a... but you pick the 6a nonetheless. If the question is whether you'll upgrade from the 6a to the 7, I'll stick with the 6a. If however the question is which you'll buy outright at retail price, the 7 is the better phone option in my opinion, and value-wise, it will be supported a year longer than the 6a.

I'm still indecisive on whether to get the 6a or 7 once the Google deals roll out next week. I'm not much for wireless charging, quick charging isn't an issue for me, the only thing I'm worried about is performance, 6gb vs 8gb, tensor vs tensor 2 chip, 12mp vs 50mp. Apart from that, I don't see much of a difference, either would be a huge upgrade for me.

[@Saiph_and_Sound]

In the same boat. $300 vs $500 weighing the prices on the deals, they're both great deals and it's a tough choice.

[@msaw504]

I think in the long run (like 3+ years) P7 is going to fare better. 6a is already one Android generation behind. The new 50mp in P7 will be utilised to a fuller potential going forward while the old 12MP on 6a is likely the best it can ever be. Front facing camera is also better in P7.

You can't go wrong either way, but one advantage that the Pixel 7 has is the lossless 2x zoom. It is the value-add with which I am finding the most joy. Super rez zoom plus the lossless 2x makes even the maximum 8x zoom incredibly usable in daylight for quick snaps. Before I upgraded from the Pixel 6, I thought the better front facing camera would be the most significant change, but nope. It's definitely lossless zoom.

[@DHRME]

That's the Pixel 7 Pro. Unfortunately not there on the 7.

Watching this on my 6A and grinning coz most of the so called upgraded featured in pixel 7 are not much of use for me in day to day life. Let's see what they do with 7A. I reckon it's again going to be a phone which will garner mixed reviews from the youtubers but in reality would still be a solid, smooth device. Google can fix almost all the issues they have faced in 6 and 7 series and make a near perfect Mid range phone when they launch 7a but they are too smart in not messing with the sales of the flagship device.

Pixel 6a is great budget phone for people who don't care for the highest performance or best optional features. Bought one for my mother. She uses it for calls, messaging, playing Pokemon Go, reading news and snapping pictures from time to time. Personally I think if you are on a budget go for the 6a(or wait and see the 7a) or if you are not so limited - go for 7 Pro. My mother also loves the intelligent battery charge protection - she likes to keep her phones for as long as possible and she already noticed this feature activating based on her charging habits(she knows a little about batteries and improving their life span).

Commenting months after this video was posted, but something yall didn't seem to notice between the 6a and 7 cameras is that the 7 is handling blacks significantly better. Maybe it's just cause I'm watching on an OLED (LG C2), but to me the side-by-sides look VERY different in most of the shots. The 7 has consistently better/deeper/bolder colors and handled fine-grey-scale like the different shades of clouds, the shadowed trees, and his skin-tone much better.

I figured I'd get more joy if I bought a 6a now, then sell it used next year for ~$150 and get a Pixel 8 if there's bigger improvements. Is that about how yall ended up feeling too?

Nice ! Based upon your findings, and ultimately what is important to you, I agree with your decision. The only concern I might have is the front glass. I've had (still have in drawer) Pixel 3A and 4A's with broken screens. Soooooo, if the glass on the 7 were a true upgrade, I may go with the 7. The one issue for me with Pixel phones is screen brightness....even the 7P7 is not bright enough outdoors in Florida sun. Hopefully all brands will have a flagship which rivals the iP14P, in terms of brightness.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

I'm assuming you've already made your decision already, but my suggestion still holds true.... get yourself a tempered glass screen protector, I highly recommend a Whitestone Dome, RhinoShield, or Zagg (I've found those to be the best fitment overall over all phones), you won't even notice it's there, and you can forget about ever damaging your phone's screen, and those mentioned are just as scratch and crack resistant as the best Gorilla glass, and if anything ever happens, you can just replace it for a couple bucks, your phone screen will be unscathed underneath. Even if you've had your phone a few months already and have a few slightly noticable faint scratches on it, tempered glass screen protectors will usually (with their adhesive layer) cover up those scratches and it'll look like you have a brand new screen.

Goedemiddag! Nice video! I totally agree with you. I am using the pixel 6a for three month and I am really happy with it. I got some beautiful pictures out of it, the battery lasts almost two days for me (thanks to smart battery), it feels fast and the screen is bright and colorful. There is really nothing to complain. When the pixel 7 launched I give it a thought but I did not like that it is a bit bigger. Over the refrech rate: the pixel 6a has the same 60hz refrech rate as an much more expensive iphone 14 plus. But I have used the pixel 4xl for a few years and I set the refrech rate from 90hz back to 60hz to safe battery. Really I could not tell the difference. It depends on what you are using it for I think. The fingerprint sensor is clearly not the best on both pixel devices. But why is nobody mentioning the SMART LOCK function that every pixel offers. I use it all the time with mij Fossil gen 6 smartwatch. When I am near my phone it stays unlocked. Why not? That is so much better than using the fingerprint or face unlock (with the pixel 7).

Well for me I went with a Pixel 7, this is my fist Pixel , have always had Samsung and I ahd bought a S22 in Sept for my birthday upgrading from a S10e. I do agree with you on the refresh rate which it had 120 which kills the battery fast. But in this case I didn't have to go from 90 to 60 unlike 120 to 60 on my Samsung. I think the refresh rate thing is overrated, but 90 is good think that what a phone should be, I seen video on the 6a , seen it had alot of issue with it unlike the 7. It isa good phone, think they a great job on this model, wish Samsung would go back how they sue to be but time change. I got my on a good deal which i can say I will keep ti for 2 years I don't switch phone every year. I think if you need a cheaper phone which money is tight then go for the 6a, think if you don't care about how good the cam is or you a hardcore user then 6a will be good if your wanting new and better cam then yes for for the 7. I feel like you don't need to have the better phone and copy everyone else, choice what makes you happy don't fololow everyone because you want to eb like everyone else. Good review, it was your choice to go for the 6a and if it make you happy then good. As for me this my first one so in time i might choice this over samsung not onyl for a good deal but ti cheaper then most smart phone.

Hey Esteban, thanks for your input - I too am upgrading from a Samsung S10. After using the Google Pixel 7 for as long as you have, do you recommend upgrading to the Pixel 7? How is the camera in comparison to the Samsung s10? I really like the s10's camera - thoughts appreciated 😊

@@gregfreeze8649 I mean I came from a 10e which still miss but the Cam is pretty good I mean it Google. It depend on the lighting which everyone is different from it from Sam to Iphone. I saw it mroe from the price which was way better then most phone out there for the cheaper price whuch give a good cam or whatever you want in a phone. The Size not bad if you want bigger then go plus it just depend on you. Light the lighting from it as well I got a S22 first and hated the lighting from it, it hard to sue in the day light for me, and seem the Battery drain for fasy from the Pixel 7 battery is betetr for me feel like it hold up more then the s22 not to sure on the S23 you might have to look into that. If you go into store maybe try it out in display see if you like it or nto it good way to tes it, also if you do like it either get it or wait til the Pixel 8, So gar have no regreted it.

@@WildharpieECW Thanks for your response Esteban - I ended up grabbing the Pixel 7, LOVED it, but after 2 days with it I had buyers remorse and had to go with the Pro for the extra camera. Full disclosure, NO regrets at all. This camera is amazing and the rest of the phone is equally as awesome! The size is not that much different than the regular Pixel 7 and fits in my medium sized hand just perfect.👌 It absolutely destroys the camera in my S10. Extremely happy with my decision - thanks for your input and enjoy your Pixel - I know I am! Cheers!

@@gregfreeze8649 Np, i myself wanted to get this but I had already gotten a s22 and couldn;t pay for aniother plan with a phone that was more, i trade ed in m S10e for S22 which i regret, the problem with was the battery and the lighting was just to low in the to see well. I saw the Pixel 7 but i was like I can't get another phone at full pirce but my company which was T Mobile had a plan for a new line and that phone which I only had to pay $99 dollars in the plan which the rest paid itself. I took the deal and wow the Pixel 7 is great phone, for the price it really is a smarter for people like us. Kive the size and the cam still good not a big big pic fan like that but still good. The lighting can go to 1500 or 1700 i forget what is was but the s22 could onyl go to 1300 but seem the brighter was low the colro are nice but for me havign eye issue couldn't return it i tried but they gave me the run around. But still have I heard the S23 is great phone which I wish i had waited but it too late, Still Pixel 7 my first phone and lvoe it. Hope you enjoy yoru Pro Pixel 7 look like fun phone for sure.

Good review guys, i had almost the same experience when i "upgraded"from my afordable chinese POCO F3 to a more expensive Samsung 21FE.. in theory the samsung would be the better Phone, however the only thing wich is better seems to be the camera set ( since the poco has no dedicated tele) the proccesor is on paper also faster but the samsung software cripples it . So i end up still using both phones , for different purpeses. I think that we are coming along way to the end of smartphone development so that the law of diminishing returns is getting a grip on the phone market, so unless your battery craps out on you, it is no longer needed to by very expensive phones.

Good comparisons. Definitely gave it away at the beginning when talking about your size preference. Are Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 sized evenly as well as the 6a and 7a in its inevitable release. That will probably be a better comparison if so. Price-wise also.
