The Pixel 7a is INCREDIBLE // Two Months Later

[@bimalbasnet65]

I like how Sam configures the video aspect ratio in a way that it fits the wide screen of today's modern day smartphones. The old 1920x1080p don't work anymore. And other creators are lacking in this aspect. Thanks to Sam . Good luck !

I've never understood the objection to ordinary-width bezels. Thin bezels invite damage, and 99% of anything I need to look at on the phone is toward the center of the screen, not at the edges.

Great review buddy. It's also the size of the 7a for me. The 7 and 7 pro are too big IMO. I'm 6' 4" so don't have small hands I just like a smaller, more pocket-able phone. 6.1" is a nice size. My old phone was 6.7" and was like a brick. Love my Pixel 7a.

[@real0mar]

My take from the northern hemisphere (where it is summer now) the heating issues with this phone are extremely bad, probably due to the bespoke cheaper variant of the tensor g2. When it gets too hot it cuts off data, meaning I can't even do video calls outdoors for more than a few minutes. Also when I'm plugged into android auto and have a podcast going and google maps on the screen, the charge will stay the same or go down even when it's plugged into a type-c output that can push 15w normally. Still, the camera is good enough that I don't regret buying this phone.

you should have waited for atleast 2 week, becasue pixel is a software experience phone so , it needs time to adapt , not like other smartphone which don't learn your patterns

lmao this replies are so stupid... "you have to wait a month for it to get better", "dont use any apps and it will last"... whats good about that when i can justs buy a cheaper phone that has better perfomance and has a MUCH better battery (even after the pixel "learns") out of the box. pixels could be such amazing phones if they werent such an annoyance to the average user.

After using the Pixel 1, 2, 3, 4xl and 5 ... I will never buy another Pixel device again. I was so frustrated with their terrible customer service and hardware quality that I was going to buy an iPhone and be done with it. I decided to give Samsung once last try, my last Samsung device was the S3. I was floored. Samsung is the Apple of the Android world. Things work, the hardware is incredible and the software is not the TouchWiz of the past, OneUI is legitimately amazing. As a poweruser, this confluence of software + hardware is extremely difficult to find. I'll never be going back.

Pixel 7a currently available for £449 RRP and you can get £70 off from Boxing Day sales, and you can get an additional 5% off from a promo code available online which subtracts a further £22.45. Plus I'm trading in a 2019 Pixel 4 XL for £119, which I feel is pretty generous of them meaning it'll be £237.55, or 47.1% saving. I'm really pleased with that to be honest. I also suspect the May 2024 Pixel 8a will have another £50 bump up in price and obviously won't come with any sales until Black Friday in November and the Christmas sales too, so the 7a right now seems a steal. Jan 9th is when Google sale ends.

[@zaheersiddiqui4678]

I have been using Pixel 7 agressively since it came out, it's in the sweet spot between Pixel 7a and Pixel 7 pro. Plus points - it has better battery, camera and screen brightness clarity which is better than 7a but worse than 7 pro. Still would say go for 7a over 7 or 7 pro if you wanna safe bang for your buck.

but what about the worse(older) camera? Also, how is the pixel's video camera? I hear that the still pictures are the best, but I sometimes also like to take videos for memories and stuff, and I've heard it's bad at that

[@igotlotiononit]

depends on regional pricing, usually the 7 is $100 more and the software and chipset is the exact same, even the camera has similar results. if you wanna save the hundred bucks or spend the extra for a more premium feel, more power to you. but... 1. victus might be more shatterproof, but because of how it's made, it scratches easier. death sentence if you have grit or sand in your pocket. almost no difference if you put on a case and/or good screen protector 2. completely redundant unless you bring your phone into a pool for some reason, IP67 is still fine if you accidentally splash it or drop it in the bathroom (hopefully the sink) 3. marginal difference, we're talking mere minutes. wireless charging is arguably bad, some people might need it in their car, others will just leave it charging overnight. personal preference but for example i have no need for qi charging so this isn't a dealbreaker at all 4. lol don't trust gsmarena's endurance scores 100%. battery life varies a lot from user to user and depends on what they do; just scrolling through emails, taking calls and shooting pics with the camera is fine, streaming music and movies uses a bit of power, and gaming either moderately or significantly drains your battery. if you just need it for the former then it still lasts you a day, maybe even two. apparently the battery life is pretty meh at first but gets progressively better if you enable the adaptive battery option but don't quote me on this

@@modekLGC Personally, I think Google's Android is so much better than iOS. But it can be different for other people. I'm not super tied to Apple services like iMessage, Apple Music, Siri, Apple's smart home, or iOS-only apps, etc. I use more Google stuff (Gmail, KZbin Music, Google Photos, etc). Fortunately, they are more open. So it doesn't really matter for me when switching between iOS and Android. It's all pretty seamless for me. Saying all that just to say that I like Pixel 7a the best. It's not perfect, but I like it the best. The only things that I miss are: a telephoto lens (I used it a lot), and iPhone 13 Pro's excellent battery life & excellent video recording quality. I disliked the 14 Pro.

[@warrenrebello5982]

Having the Pixel 7 makes the 7a absolutely redundant. There is no point in grabbing it besides getting the extra year in updates. Pixel 7 right now is either offered at the same price as the 7a or cheaper. I understand that the 7a is newer but the 7 offers gorilla glass 6:01 Victus on front and back of the device along with faster wired and wireless charging. In a few months when the 7a drops in price as it should, we can come back to this discussion. As it stands right now as long as the Pixel 7 is offered beside the 7a, there's really no point in choosing the 7a.

[@gundalfthelost1624]

Completely depends on what country you live in. Here in Sweden the normal 7 is well over €200 more than the 7a. The 7a is also bundled with a ton of data plans which gives you the phone for free if you sign up for 24 months etc. Not to forget it often comes bundled with the Pixel buds.

As per GSM Arena and others the Pixel 7a has been universally panned for having poor battery life.

Nice review but it seems like there is a wide range of experiences with the battery. For me, its been absolute junk. I am a light user. No games, a few calls a day, no social media apps and I cant barely make it to dinner time. I have turned off virtually every setting that has been mentioned on the internet to save battery life and it still stinks. I have done all updates and have adaptive battery enabled and have notice zero improvement in the two months i have had the phone. Even when plugged into a USB charger in the car, if you run navigation it will maintain or actually lose battery. It won't even charge. It takes forever to charge even when plugged in by USB and wireless charging is almost pointless. Lastly, this phone overheats excessively. I was just on a trip out west where the average temperature was 85 and 90° and the phone was so hot I had to take a case off and I had no apps running other than the camera. I have a warrenty replacement coming from google and I am hoping I just got a deffective unit, but so far I would not recommend this phone to anyone that does more than a few phone calls a day. I am coming from the pixel 6a and loved that phone. I have never regretted a phone purchase more than the 7a.

Moto horrible android updates made me away from them. However moto edge 40 is close to pixel in terms of software experience, especially the ready to share function

I realy hope they get the future Samsung based chips a lot cooler. My Pixel 6 is just so annyoing in the summer. Exynos just sucks, with the modem as well. My 6 get's easy over 35°C just having the display on with 27°C room temperature. Charging and using it at the same time? 44°C - that almost hurt you holding it and can only be bad for the battery. The standby time on mobile network is also bad thanks to Samsung based tech... really annyoing. For me I do not see me buying a device with such processers in the future. Samsung would really need to 180 that. (i'm really sad that they will have their Exyflops in the next S 2x here in Europe again...)

I can't understand why every single reviewer cries about bezels and keeps feeding back to manufacturers that tiny bezels are what consumers want. No we don't. I don't want a fragile phone. A good size bezel is a positive.

[@vipul5886]

bro just to correct you , pixel 7a have larger camera sensors than regular 7

[@watersports34]

No way this video was shot with Sony a 7s II ^^

[@wesleybinion]

Pixel 6a is still incredible too

[@chrisss9191]

[@namikazeminato7782]

​@@chrisss9191bruh I don't know, but I switched from a 90 Hz phone to 6a and can't find much of a difference

I get great battery life. Average user. End the day at 70,,,,%

[@xxxxyyyxxxx584]

What is it with Google and bezels. They've been so weird since the 3XL with only the 5 being normal. Apparently P8 series is also going to have a chin again too lmao

[@Mystic_Christopher]

Is it really a wireless charger when the charger itself needs a wire? 😂 Either way your using a wire

[@COASTER1921]

The Pixel 7 is substantially cheaper lately. It's all about the price, and at $450 this can't compete when Pixel 7 is $430.

[@SahirSiddiqui]

I do love it. There are a few things I'll would like changed but nothing that's a serious issue. 1) the volume buttons need to be ABOVE the power button on the side 2) dislike the big quicksetings tiles. Would prefer buttons

Could just look at the video quality without ever paying attention to what he says and still not get bored.

[@junzhengca]

Personally came from iPhone 13 Pro. 7a felt stable, fluid, and in general I experience better battery life as well. The only downside is gaming performance. Buy iPhone Pro models starts at $1000, so really I couldn't justify the price given how good 7a is.

[@sydneytomlinson]

Better battery life with the 7a? I currently have a 13 Pro and I'm looking to switch to the 7a and I find that hard to believe. I get 2 days of battery on my 13 pro cause I'm a light user
