Additional review notes:
So the Pixel 7A has been getting a lot of hype being the sequel to pretty much the best midrange phone last year, the 6A.
P7A is not the only A phone you need to consider. You didn’t think Samsung would miss out on this party, did you? Samsung launched their midrange just a few weeks ago, the A54
Competes with flagships for half the price
$449 vs $499
They offer a lot for that money, but they do so in very different ways
So let’s take a deeper look at the two best midrange phones of 2023. Now I say best midrange, but really, they are the best smart purchases
DESIGN
Both IP67
A54 is taller, slimmer, and heavier
A54 has plastic frame and glass front/back
P7A has aluminum frame & plastic back
Both glossy
4 colors each
A54 has SD card slot
Pixel has wireless charging
6.1” vs 6.4”
90Hz vs adaptive 120
Similar peak brightness
Super AMOLED vs OLED
Nobody comes close to samsung with displays, but if there’s one thing pixels do well
CAMERAS
Should we even talk about megapixels?
A54 has 3 vs 2
Pixel vs A54
64MP vs 50MP
13MP ultrawide vs 12MP
Nice empty space vs 5MP macro
13MP selfie vs 32MP
SPEED
App open test
Pixel chip is much more powerful
Same as P7Pro
8 vs 6/8gb ram
128 vs 128/256gb
A54 should have a longer battery life
A54 gets 4 android versions, P7A gets 3
Both get 5 yrs of security updates
PROS: P7a
No bloatware, light pixel interface, great pixel features for calling, great camera system, faster chip, wireless charging. Basically the Pixel 7.
A54 has better display, longevity, battery life, premium glass back, and samsung features

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.

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 4 ай бұрын

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

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.

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.

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.

All our carriers have the A54 on a crazy deal right now, only $10/mth for 24 months, so it ends up only costing $240+tax compared to the pixel 7a being $25/mth=$600. But I'm really concerned about longevity with the A54. I want my next phone to last 4 years just like my s10+ has. I don't think the A54 has the processor to do that. Seems like a no brainer with that price difference, but I know the pixel will perform better long term so it's difficult.

@bekabuidze4772 Жыл бұрын

Good review, except... Samsung has not got better longevity as there is no point in 4 years of updates, if you have Exynos 1380. Tensor G2 is a lot better (yes it overheats if you push it, but it will still outperform Samsung, plus you are not always pushing it and 2x "cortex X1" cores do a marvelous job in real life, about which no one seems to talk about. It's on par with Snapdragon 8 gen 2 from a users perspective except of gaming of course.) So in terms of speed and performance Pixel 7a is a flagship, while a54 is a mid ranger. It will also deliver higher fps with it's 90hz display than Samsung in real life.

You forgot to mention the wireless charging of the Pixel is only 7watts. So depending on what your doing say, while using it in your car as gps, it may still actually drain the battery even tho its on the wireless charger. Also, I chose the A54 because I use expandable storage sd card because I use my phone to make home porn and some of the files near 20gb each.

Just bought the A54 since Samsung was offering high trade in value (£150) for my old phone (A90 5G) meaning it cost me £299 vs £449 for 7A (UK)! Was also put off the 7A by battery life and potential overheating issue. Happy to stick with Samsung experience but I'll admit I was torn

Pixel 7a's don't have any overheating issues and the battery life is better than the Galaxy A53, wouldn't be surprised if it's the same (or better) than the A54 because Samsung's long track record of having dismal battery life and longevity.

Another observation: look at 7 gen 2 released by Qualcomm. It is almost as powerful like 8 gen 1, so Exynos 1380 should be as powerful like Exynos 2200 aka Tensor G2, but after so many hype about AMD Radeon collaboration bla bla Exynos still failed to perform miserably. Pathetic.

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. And since it's primarily available through carriers & Google, you can't get the lower pricing you can get on the A54. This puts them in completely different categories. In the real world, the 7A is 32% more expensive, doesn't come with dual sim, and doesn't have expandable storage. Plus is doesn't come with Secure Folder which is the killer feature of Samsung phones.

@nikhilpaleti3872 Жыл бұрын

I think you should focus on, and highlight the biggest weakness of a born and bred "mid-range" phone. The A54, despite being fantastic, and having seemingly great spec, is just bad. A54 uses the same sensor as S23, but is 2-3X worse. Unlike Pixel, which uses previous gen 12MP sensors, or random 64MP sensors, but crushes even iPhones. The A54 has an okay-ish Exynos 1380, but funny thing, it actually is just in the same ballpark as S10. Yes. Galaxy S10. And it isn't "Close" to the Pixel. It is 100% evident, how wide the gap is, even in general swiping, animations, app loading. And people call the Tensor weak, or not great? Sorry but nonsense. And yea, its not like Samsung sucks at animations, the S23 is the smoothest stuff I've seen. So it is clearly the CPU pulling it back. The true mid-rangers just cannot keep up with even these budget flagships. Brands care about the perception of a flagship branded phone. Not a budget phone.

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.
