Google Pixel 7a 5G (8GB RAM, 128GB, Charcoal) - Brand New review

The Pixel 7a is the best mid-range Android phone available. It squeezes even more of the premium smartphone experience into a smaller, cheaper model. Google’s top chip, plenty of RAM and a decent amount of storage, make it faster than most competitors.
Pros:
  • Pros: brilliant camera, excellent smaller screen, top performance, decent battery life, wireless charging, face and fingerprint unlock, water resistance, recycled aluminium and plastic, five years of security updates, Android 13, smart software features, competitively priced.
Cons:
  • Cons: no optical zoom or macro photo mode, face unlock option not as secure as some rivals, battery life short of best-in-class, fairly slow charging.

Pros:
  • The Pixel 7a comes with an improvement in display quality, boosts to performance, as well as consistently terrific mobile photography.
Cons:
  • The Tensor G2 is still prone to heating, and other factors including battery endurance and charging speeds aren't particularly impressive.

I’ve always appreciated that Google has never tried to do too much with its Pixel A phones. The Pixel 7a is a simple device that packs a nice screen that’s now even better thanks to a 90Hz refresh rate, solid performance and cameras that can hang with rivals twice its price.
