The Pixel 7a is NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

Happy Google I/O Day! So aside from the Pixel Fold announcement that we have all been waiting for, Google also dropped the Pixel 7a and honestly, I’m NOT impressed with its $499 price tag. Does the Pixel 7a make the Pixel 7 a better value considering how often I see it go on sale? Side note…digging the Coral Red Color ❤️ What do you guys think?

Yes, google has it all wrong. the Pixel A phones need to be released at the same time as their flagship phones but at a lower price, just like everyone else does.

@dingaonhockey 7 ай бұрын

I agree. weird staggering with releases. I just picked up 7a because it was $375. Feel like $400 needs to be A series launch price.

@@mikepanton It's marketing technique. Make people buy the phone for fear of missing out essentially upselling them based on availability. Release the budget options last to get the last stragglers of customers who are more frugal. If you had both options in front of you right away and both are good, far more would just buy the cheaper version.

Yes, the 6a is perfect at around 300$, but 7a for 500$? I got me a second hand S21 Ultra, as a replacement for my former Pixel 6 Pro, and trust me, the difference between the screen and stereo sound between the real flagships and their cheaper bros is just too big. Ive used a 6a, 6, Galaxy S22 and compared to my P6P and now S21 Ultra, their screens looked more like expensive IPS screens - THAT´S how much of a difference there is in the panels. And Im the kind of guys who only needs 3 things from a phone - EXCELLENT screen, long battery life and great speakers. I don't game or take photos on phone
