He’s not lying, paying over $1k for phone is pretty ridiculous, I have a 14 Pro Max but honestly it was a pretty bad idea nothing about this phone screams $1100 dollars

Also don't ignore the 6a. Pixel 6a can be bought right now for $200+ less than the 7a and performance is almost equal and 6a has a support life almost as long as 7 series.

Me: Can barely afford a locked Pixel 6a on sale Americans: I bought the Pixel 7a as a backup phone and I love it

Love this video. The delicacy and chilled output. Best uk reviewer than the others. Well done

I didn't relise you where doing work for android police Ryan. Been following your channel since you where doing workout vids with your mate. You've been doing this for a long time and it shows. A very polished review both in terms of scripting and filming. I have this phone and am in the beta program. It is indeed a very good value mid range phone, and I really can't justify spending more for marginal benefits.

The overwhelming joy I felt when I saw Breaking Benjamin's album cover for Phobia on your screen ... inexplicable! Great to see a Ben-head doing tech reviews. And for that, you get a sub!

Rocking the 6a, got my mum the 7a for her birthday. Dad was more keen on the a54 from Samsung but at 380€ the pixel was the obvious choice

The pixel 7a has fantastic build quality feels great in the hand very premium feeling i know

im buying this as my secondary/business phone.

I kinda missed that it was released this year. Now the Pixel 8 seems like gloryfied version of this for almost double the price (but longer support). I'm seriously indecisive person and this doesn't help xd I also really like the Zenfone 10, but the support tho...

If u r always on ur phone thn its not gonna last u very long.. that's true..but i have been using a pixel 4a 5g for a very long time and in my casual use it last me al day..my day usually starts at 10 am and ends at 11 pm..some phone calls 30 mint video chats 1 or 2 hr of youtube web browsing etc.. i get around 4 to 4.30 hr of screen on time..um still happy with my pixel 4a 5g..

I have a pixel 6a as my backup phone. I think I'll be satisfied until the pixel 9 comes out

Even at 4K this video seems blurry or has some kind of weird post-processing, not sure why. I don't have the 7a but I loved my 6a, and I'm upgrading to the 8 pro since I'm using my phone more and more for work. Ever since my 3a I have been a big fan of pixel phones.

Just arrived today, the only gripe is I'm on EE and i can't choose network as I'd like to maybe just stick with 4g but it's always on 5g BUT I've not been outdoors yet, as i have activated adaptive connectivity I'm guessing it'll toggle between 5 and 4g but i wish EE gave us the option! I'm hoping the battery won't drain too much if on 5g a lot in the day. I've loved my 4a but finally gave into the 7a because it was great price on Amazon including 30w charger and not receiving security and android version updates on the 4a left me feeling a bit left behind. Just ordered a case with a flush built in kickstand ring.

still have my LG V60 and its still good perfomer 👌😄

initially had issues with 7A.After the 14 update became a pixel fan... 8hrs SOT no heating cold as ice in regular usage.. Sofware magic of google

oh im so happy to hear I dont have to buy multiple phones in 1 year, thank you so much!

I really loved my 4a but got 14 pro last year. Now just waiting for my 14 pro to get aged & will be switching back to pixel.

too bad I got spoiled by my Huawei P30 having a tele camera. I know dont wanna miss that on my next phone, which rules out so many otherwise really nice phones😅

Switched from iphone 13 to pixel7a and its been really great. Really happy and I got it for 150 euro less

I have the 7a since launch and I'm in love with these phones. I will never have another brand of phone now. It always has to be a pixel. My first pixel was the 4a and I loved it

would you get the pixel 7a over the pixel 6 (old flagship) ? here in europe they are going for the same price..

I just hope that Pixel phone would be officially available and fully supported here in the Philippines. We can only purchase those when we buy and ship it from outside the Philippines or from other stores who also buy from overseas.

I’m on 7a as of January 2024: I finally abandoned my pix4a when it was scheduled August 2023 for its last guarantee of security fixes. In comparison to 4a, I don’t like the 7a extreme fstop perspective. 6:05 6:53 the finger print works best for me, if i hold firm where i can see the imprint flash bright. Safer to do do save for 3 fingers!

I just got the P8Pro for $675 with the $200 discount offered now plus the $125 off Google offered me because I am a Premium KZfaq subscriber.Seems worth it to me !You can turn down the refresh rate,brightness etc. to save battery

Whats the difference with android 14 over 12? I just upgraded to the 7a from 3a and not very techy, but it seems to be running fine on android 12.

Pixel 6a is the best phone I've ever had.

Great Video I have a Samsung A33 which just turned a year old and it is already my 4th consecutive Samsung. The problem with Samsung is that they just tend to be too colourful and overexposing the Images they take. So I have been looking to get a new device predominately for the camera side of things and was wondering if The Pixel 7A and the Pixel 8 actually differ in the Image Quality Department? Asking because at the moment I can get the 7A for £400 and the 8 for £555 here in the UK

I have the 7a, the phone is amazing, amazing battery, amazing camera, and a decent display. The only thing that bothers me is the plastic back. It is now scratched up completely. I had to get a case to hide it

Going from one plus 6 to pixel 7a . waiting for it to arrive soon. 😍

I have a question about the display and overall heating of the 7a. How well can it be seen in daylight? I play Pokémon Go rather frequently and my old 6a was rather ass at the viewing angles in daylight, especially when playing Pokémon Go as the phone got rather warm and made the overall brightness lowered than what it could do.

I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017 model year) to my 7A two weeks ago. No complaints. "But what if you had to be critical/complain about something?" Well, in that case, it would be battery life. However, that's not saying much at all, since I could make this complaint about the majority of "flagship" phones and even non-flagship devices.

Would you still consider it a top choice right now at its current 349 USD sale price?

I really do wonder why they went and made the display bigger and higher resolution since the 4a... there just is no point in such a high resolution, especially when it would be preferable to have 90Hz on by default, or 120Hz with the same display bandwidth. The 7a, however, is at least the first model since the 4a that meets my basic requirement of supporting dual SIM (w/ eSIM)

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.

The premise of this video is one that i would have totally agreed with before the Pixel 8 came out. If you're looking for a phone with a low lifetime cost of ownership, the extra two and a half years of support make the Pixel 8 a better buy. I'm one for using my phones until they are no longer supported so the 8 is where it's at for me. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Pixel 8a looks like because there is a good chance that it will be the new killer value proposition.

Full day battery? Yes if is on extreme mode or if you are not using it at all... I bought it this is my new phone i love it is great ❤ but i recommend buying a powebank with this phone too 😅

I'm thinking of getting the 7a because of some improvements over the 6a which I had few months ago. But I'm still concerned about the battery life. With doing some battery saving tips known out there can I get at least 5 hours SOT and will it last well up to 12 midnight in standard use? That's the million dollar question.

Had the Pixel 4a now for over 3 years and it's still as fast now as when I bought it....just received a November security patch update... not sure if Google will continue support for this phone? I am tempted to buy the pixel 7a... especially as it's reduced to £379 at the moment...but will miss the small pocketable size & the headphone jack on the 4a

❤❤❤

The one major problem with the camera is the front camera. it's way over-processed and you cant really turn it off. Every faces looks like super edited uncanny valley. On some additional note you can't even switch between cameras during recording. Overall experience for me this is decent as a secondary phone , not for daily driver.

All good but zero post sales services in several regions

should we go with s21 fe 888 or pixel 7a ?

Using a Samsung S20 FE, ordered the Pixel 7a, waiting for it to arrive tomorrow, will be my first Google pixel phone😄I do not need the latest and greatest, just a good midrange phone. And i could get this phone via my subscription for 116$😄

Pixel 8 and pixel 8 pro were released yesterday. Compare them to the pixel 7a

Thinking of switching from iPhone to this Pixel model

i brought 7a just 1 month it just started display flickering how could it solve it ???

I'm good battery life for me isn't that great compared to devices I used before. Maybe the pixel 8a is worth the wait. More efficient chip. Maybe bigger battery.

Im surprised you weren’t happy with the bright display. For me, the Pixel 7a is the first & only phone to Be so clear in direct sunlight. But then I’ve been using a crappy iPhone 6 for the past few years so 😂😂😅

How are the haptics on the pixel?

What about overheating and connectivity issues?

What about overheating in android 13 to 14 matching ?

I just bought one for $374 on sale.

In Sweden last week one operator give this 7a for free if you sign a 2 year phone subscription (15£ a month). Maybe I was stupid not to take the deal, not it’s to late. The 8 pro is to expensive, like all other flag ships. Crazy pricing now days.

I still use my S20 FE over my Pixel 6a. I have to use my Pixel 6a since my mobile plan doesn't support my S20 FE, even though it's capable of 5G. I'm mostly on Wi-Fi, anyway, and I just use Hotspot on my Pixel 6a to use my S20 FE. There's just too many little issues on the Pixel 6a, and I'm sure it's the same on the 7a. Heat issues, thumbprint, some games just don't work on it, and no microSD slot. Cameras good, battery life is good, but Google really needs to shore up those issues.

Now in November I would argue that pixel 8 is a better choice

I use a pixel 6a, great phone I'll wait till the pixel 10 comes out

Google does smarts better assistant integration better its not just pictures

The limited storage on the a models is a bit annoying

Watching with pixel 7a brand new right now 😅.

Google sells this phone in Canada for $400 CAD, which is about $288 US.

Mate what about overheating issues?

yeaa, i would buy this phone or a Pixel if the chip was not produced by Samsung, had a pixel 6 and the battery and heat reminded me of s series from Samsung , too bad fo r Google to choose Samsung, even if tsmc it's a bit pricey they would manage to succeed because they have the software and with a good hardware i mean it would do wonders

Pixel 7a plus pixel watch 2 job done 👍

Team pixel

I have unlimited google photos storge for life came with my pixel 3a if i upgraded to 7a now will i lose this privilege?

Until google stops shipping the A series phones with a paltry 128gb of storage, I could never use one

I had to exchange mine for the Pixel 7 almost immediately. The screen on the 7a was way too dim and the 7 has over 2x the brightness.

Pixel 7p for me was laggy , slow to charge , got hot , the battery life was garbage , some features were U.S only and the camera on faces was too over contrasted ... So i sold it . That's my experience in Australia . I'll never get a pixel again .

Doesn't it have over heating issues??

Bro needs some lights

I would get it if It had faster charging speeds, 18w is not enough for me

What about the 128gb storage?

I used to have Pixel 4a 5G. After switching to Pixel 7a I get: - a smaller display - 30 grams heavier - no headphone jack

Lol you have got to be kidding me. If you like smaller phones the base S23 is the best phone you can get and it's really not even close. Now if you want to break it down into Budget phones then that's totally different.

For me it's a huge advantage Google isn't a Chinese company. That & stock android are the main reason my next phone will be a pixel.

Just got a pixel 7a for $100 in Excellent condition really loving it so far 😊

the only actual problem with this device i feel is the 18watt charging that takes nearly 2 hours to fully charge

Heard the phone has overheating issues?

I payed $280 for this phone through my wireless provider which is a great deal.

What is the racing game from the review?

about to buy a new phone, looking at Pixel 8, 12r, Nord 3 etc, was keen on this one but been reading about AI induced overheating issues on 7a. More confused than ever.

Any one know if the price for 7a dropped yet? If so will it drop further when pixel 8a comes out?

How about heating issue??

I've been playing Genshin Impact on Medium settings for atleast 2 hrs and only loose around 3-4% battery and not that much phone heating. its been great!!

I sold my 7 because of overheating issues. As time progressed, it became worse. I opted for the S23+ this time around. It's been quite a transition since I've become quite accustomed to the Pixel Android experience. I'm optimistic I'll return to Pixel some day, once the overheating issues are addressed.

It's heats up very early 😢😢

I'm switching from Pixel 6 pro to Samsung. Had four 6 Pro's and all had no signal. Many 6, 7 and 8 models have the no network signal issues. It might do everything else fine but as a phone they are crap and Google will not fix them under warranty

Yeahhh.... no... I had the P7 for 4 days and the thing got extremely hot. Got a Nothing Phone now. Does everything you want and matches the older OnePlus quality

7a is fast and runs games good, small screen though

I've Got a SGA55 for 38 Bucks

Only if you have lack of choices in the states. Otherwise many better choices.

Great phone and love the size of it...But god!!!...That finger print reader is rubbish and that was the only reason i got rid of it 😥

Hello 👋 need some help! I'm thicking of getting the Pixel 7a or Pixel 7? 🤔 Any suggestions one over the other ? I also heard over the last year or so! The Pixel 7 has issues with the rear camera shattering due to temperature? Does the 7a have this issue at all ? I'm in Canada 🇨🇦 we have 4 seasons of weather in the winter time in one week sometimes lol 😆 This rear camera wouldn't last over two weeks 🙄 Thanks 👊🏻

Just bought one to replace my Z Fold 4

I love this phone but here in india it is a bit overpriced and even at lower price during sales it isn't a great buy becauase tensor chips have overheating issues in hot climates like that of indian summers and the battery drains really fast when the abient temp is high. I hope google shifts to tsmc in the g4 or g5 then the heating issues will get resolved

Android 14 features would also be valid for pixel 7/7pro why not consider them ? For about 20-30% more money during sale

Bought 7a after 4a. Do yourself a favor and buy an old pixel 4a. Better in every aspect. 7a is riddled with faults, nothing works properly. Takes forever to charge, too big and heavy. Phone app is broken,and dropped calls. Plus famous overheating.Wishing kept the 4a

5:56

I have a Pixel 7a myself, and saying battery is a nice feature is just plain NOT true.
