Thanks for mentioning the 7a's improved repairability. Like security, repairability is an unsexy topic that doesn't seem important until you drop your phone and repair turns out to be is almost as expensive as buying a new one.
yh i just took L and got a case that covers both sides so my phone now twice as thick and mics don't work as well but better than having to spend half cost of phone just to have it working again lol
Dave does the most efficient videos on youtube. Not 1sec to catch his breath and he manages to put all the good infos in a very short period. Congrats your videos are juste perfect
One thing that surprises me is they use different sensor. 6a and 5a photos is good because of the Googles know how of the old sensor and they can exploit to the root. If there's different sensor they need to tune differently.
One of the reason is that the 6A (which I bought) is using the tried and tested camera that was being used since the Pixel 4 series. maybe even longer don't know. But the 7A is a completely new sensor not even present in the 7 or 7 pro. So I do belive that it is only a matter of software optimisation to get this upto the quality.
I don't recall the difference in photos and videos being that different with the 6a vs 7...at least with the photos. A 6a vs 7a comparison would be great.
@@karlivanantonio3922 True. There are few problems with 6a's which made me order 7a.It'll be delivered on the 15th. The main reason why i purchased 7a, is because of network disconnection i faced in 6a. Usually people who don't use it for long calls, never noticed it. But it is there. It is there in all 6a's, double confirmed with other 6a users in my locality.
@@karlivanantonio3922 TH-camr Munchy got the 7a before the launch, he specifically mentioned that there is no network drop issues in 7a, as well as overheating was resolved while recording 4K60FPS from camera after May 2023 update. (He said that he recorded for 45 mins outside under the sun, no overheating and no warning. He said it can go 45+ mins but he stopped because he wanted to go back)
Plastic back by itself is enough reason to get the 7a over the 7 even if it wasn't any cheaper. Glass backs are a terrible design decision that just increases cost and weight and adds fragility for no real gain.
Good phone but I hate that they're slowly creeping up in price even though the gap between the a and normal pixel is so small now. I'm still running the legendary pixel 4a, was waiting for 7a but now I might as well wait a bit longer for Moto Edge 40 devises.
@@t51byte what kind of degenerate take is this? Phone prices increasing isn't good for anyone, this phone is so similar to the 7 it may as well not exist. The whole point of the 'a' phones is to be significantly cheaper, and the main phones is to be better. Now they're just the same phone for basically the same price
Might be in your best interest to look at the 7 since the price is so close with the 7 and 7a( especially with the 7 always going on sale by $50-150). The value in the 7 is still higher. Hopefully you find your ideal replacement. I'm waiting for the 8 personally even though I was very tempted by the 7(I have a pixel 5)
Bro, I pre-ordered the Pixel 7 (which was on discount for pre-orders), got the the free earbuds with that deal that I sold, traded my Pixel 3A in, which is out of software support anyways, got some more money back and ended up paying less than 400 bucks for my Pixel 7 this way. The 7a makes no sense, just get a used Pixel 7. I would only recommend the Pixel 7a, if it would be significantly smaller and more light weight, but it's not. Don't buy this e waste, get a used Pixel 7. We need to show Google what garbage the A series already is.
Yeah I think they may have lessened the ability on the 7a cameras. From what I've generally seen, and Sony IMX787 lenses is usually a lot better in low light conditions than it is with the 7a. Low light is supposed to be a strength of the lense.
actually thank you very much for the camera comparison , I have watched other pixel 7a reviewing videos . Non of them have compared the pixel 7 with 7a . Acutally I saw the differance in this video , thumbs up , great work
Camera is the main factor for me. Sad to see those differences. Maybe this will improve with updates as the hardware is relatively new. And what is even more surprising is that the Pixel 7a is only a few grams lighter than the Pixel 7, despite having a plastic back...
Why are you sad? Go for pixel 7 then who is saying you have to buy pixel 7a. We all know that 7 and 7 pro is the flagship series whereas their 7a is more of a midrange series...
@@deepakbisht7764 sad because I have to replace a Pixel 4a. And up to the 5 series the cameras have always been the same between the regular and the a series.
@@frankniethardt1813 ohh I understand. But the 7a camera is still good it has the same classic algorithm of pixel that they have been using for years but with an updated bigger sensor and megapixels. I think you should go to the store and experience the camera yourself. It's not like a flagship but it's still a great camera. But it seems like it is not good with the video...
i am wordering if google fixed some of the 7a flaws in the video department over time. i mean i bought it 5 weeks ago, so 7 month after release and i have not noticed anything that is as shaky as it is in this review. have to do some testing and edit my comment later in. anyway, thanks for this great video! ❤
when you look at it from only a USD perspective, yeah it's "only a 100 dollars cheaper" but when you look at global pricing, the 7A just makes more sense, it's over a 300$ difference between it and the 7 in my country
I bought Pixel 7 soon after the launch and its amazing device. Only disadvantage is slow fingerptint scanner and very bad support in European countries - in my country the phone is not officially sold so the 5G does not work + there are problems with VoLte and calling. What I dont really get about 7a is why Google did not cut wireless charging, underdisplay scanner and RAM size to put price lower and make those 2 phones more different form each other. This business strategy is weird.
Brightness adjusting is a big pain in the ass, as well as chrome STILL doesn't have a scrollbar you can grab like ios and samsung, and can't even get the adress bar in the bottom, so it can be reached with one hand
I like one other tech youtuber also a lot but no one can ever get the respect that Dave can because Dave has achieved _NIRVANA_ and never lets the urge of making *every youtube video more than 10 minutes long* just for the sake of youtube algorithm take over him.
The Pixel 7 is way better in the camera and video than the 7a. I wonder how much is just software or as you said soft limiting the capabilities of the 7a?
Man, Dave had a date, so he had to Record the Video as fast as possible and didn't want to live some info out, that's why he was talking in 2x. Very informative video, brother!
I've been less interested in the A series since the Pixel 6a. The already low MSRP of the non-Pro Pixel line and the constant deep discounts make the regular Pixels the easy choice for me.
great review mate, better than MKHBD, that seemed to be a little in a hurry..he didnt even mentioned the different camera design on the back..anyway, keep it up
I don't know if anyone has noticed or not but dave plays the absolute best videos on TH-cam while showing screen quality. Oppenheimer trailer and the latest video of Kurzgesagt!
best thing about dave is that he always respects the time and patience of his viewers. "Only the essentials (aka everything)" you'll ever need in the shortest video possible.
Yeah, both do go on sale. Only the 7a is $150 off and the 7 a $50 off. So now (4/15) the difference on sale is $200. Does that make a difference? $350/$550 @Amazon. 7 Pro is $600. $350 for 8GB/128GB Android 13 and many years of updates seems like a very good price ... now!
I have a pixel 7 pro and I tried buying wireless chargers to use on my desk and at work, but I found the heat generated from them just made charging unbearably slow and then the screen would auto dim when I picked it up because it was trying to cool off. I ended up just switching back to wired charging 🤷♀️
Which wireless chargers did you buy? Maybe that was the issue. I own two different wireless chargers and both are great at charging. Also even if you charge via wired the battery will still heat up if the phone is charging at a fast charge. For me most times I'm charging when I'm sleeping or get home from work but most of the time I'm charging while I'm sleeping and I've never felt it over heat even when I've picked up my Pixel 7 Pro in the middle of the night.
Mine gets toasty quick when using lightroom, obviously this can be a power hungry task, but I'll even take my phone out of its case preemptively to try to allow it to cool more, and then inevitably it'll dim the screen making editing a pain. All of this is further exacerbated by any charging, but wireless charging is significantly worse
Well, not always is about spec for spec and small price gaps. A budget phone will perform like a budget phone, just like a premium device will do better even comparing old premium devices to against newer mid range devices…
@@amirsaad8256 The "a" line of Pixel's were supposed to be an affordable alternative. I agree that prices will eventually rise, but I don't think Google can justify raising the price by $50 every year for 3 years
If the camera hardware is the same , cpu is the same, but the photo/video results are different, it can only mean that the A series is not longer a good camera option at its price range, because you wouldn’t want a product that is intentionally soft capped.
The factors are camera sensors and camera lenses that would affect image quality when taking a picture. I'm most certain it's related to cheaper hardware not software limiting.
can't agree with the white balance argument. the photos, (around the wooden construction) as seen on my 42" TV, look way better on the 7a. yes, darker areas, but with much more details where the 7 looks totally washed out. looks like the 7a was HDR or OLED vs a cheap TN when comparing the two. look at the wood grain and the details you see... also the more vibrant green in the background. the 7 looks overexposed imo. I like the higher contrast tbh
One key difference is software / security updates if don’t know if you saw “Chromebookgates”. Since the 7 is the older device I would expect better support on the 7a.
One thing this phone is good at is size. It's quite smaller than the 7 and still include a good number of features. All depends on whether you'd go flagship or just get an entry level Pixel.
Great short video! Tough decision. Pixel 7a for 100€ less and Buds A for free. But photos are really important to me so I guess it will be the Pixel 7 tho.
I got a pixel 7 since 3months and in multitasking is the best ...in photos among the best maybe the best...in videos not the best but I don't complain I'm ok ....in gaming is good ...in battery is average and I don't complain...and in audio to listen in videos or make videos is the best....in overall pixel 7 is the best still out there...trust me ..I used s23 and iPhone and this pixel 7 is so incredibly good ...by the way the screen is awesome maybe not better than s23 or iPhone or it's biggest brother pixel 7 pro but is so pure screen and in handling like one hand this pixel 7 is so practical so guys respect for every phone or this pixel 7 a but trust me pixel 7 is the best you can get out there in terms of overall usage😮
2:24 If you can comment this: On 7a, if you check that sky, you can see some stars or airplane lights, but not on 7. I do not want AI to clean up my photo to make it look good. I want what is actually there. So all this hype with AI processing photo has this off feeling to me.
Plz make a comparison video of Pixel 7 Pro vs Galaxy S23 ... There are so many videos of 7 pro vs S23 ultra, but not a single video of 7 pro vs S23.. both have similar price range also..
I have a Pixel 7 and it's a nice phone. My biggest gripe is I have a wallet style protector and the thing won't wake up / sleep when the lid is opened or closed. Apparently the phone might have a hall sensor to implement this, but if it does, it doesn't work.

The Pixel 7 has been discounted $150 dollars several times since launch. Currently it's not discounted, I wonder why?... 🤔
It really was a steal deal at 450.
They're not going to discount the 7 to compete with the newly launched 7a. I'm sure both will go down in price soon enough.
Because they are trying to make money with the newly released phone which is perfectly understandable
I can literally get one from Best Buy today, it’s $500. Same exact price
7a $449 at bestbuy, and 7 $499

can't agree with the white balance argument.
the photos, (around the wooden construction) as seen on my 42" TV, look way better on the 7a. yes, darker areas, but with much more details where the 7 looks totally washed out.
looks like the 7a was HDR or OLED vs a cheap TN when comparing the two. look at the wood grain and the details you see... also the more vibrant green in the background.
the 7 looks overexposed imo.
I like the higher contrast tbh
One key difference is software / security updates if don’t know if you saw “Chromebookgates”. Since the 7 is the older device I would expect better support on the 7a.
I was surprised by the extraordinary hairstyle. really like
dave i loved your old hairstyle more.. but this one is good too
Bro i love your content but what is up with that hairstyle? Dont mind me if you feel like you're rocking it cz beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
Dave you do the best concise reviews no b******* much better than mkb waffle
One thing this phone is good at is size. It's quite smaller than the 7 and still include a good number of features. All depends on whether you'd go flagship or just get an entry level Pixel.
it is not much smaller than 7 infact the width is same and in the length there is very minor change if you look at them in real life
Great short video! Tough decision. Pixel 7a for 100€ less and Buds A for free. But photos are really important to me so I guess it will be the Pixel 7 tho.
the hair gets wilder and wilder with each new video
7a for myself premium quality feel don't want glass back prefer the form factor
I got a pixel 7 since 3months and in multitasking is the best ...in photos among the best maybe the best...in videos not the best but I don't complain I'm ok ....in gaming is good ...in battery is average and I don't complain...and in audio to listen in videos or make videos is the best....in overall pixel 7 is the best still out there...trust me ..I used s23 and iPhone and this pixel 7 is so incredibly good ...by the way the screen is awesome maybe not better than s23 or iPhone or it's biggest brother pixel 7 pro but is so pure screen and in handling like one hand this pixel 7 is so practical so guys respect for every phone or this pixel 7 a but trust me pixel 7 is the best you can get out there in terms of overall usage😮
2:24 If you can comment this: On 7a, if you check that sky, you can see some stars or airplane lights, but not on 7.
I do not want AI to clean up my photo to make it look good. I want what is actually there. So all this hype with AI processing photo has this off feeling to me.
Plastic back, no biggie as phone would get slim back case anyway. Nice review Dave .
Plz make a comparison video of Pixel 7 Pro vs Galaxy S23 ... There are so many videos of 7 pro vs S23 ultra, but not a single video of 7 pro vs S23.. both have similar price range also..
I thought a new software update made night shots of the sky darker? The 7 seems brighter then the 7a, maybe it hasnt updated?
You forgot to mention if the 7a had any water resistance ip rating like the elder brother.
Yes it has ip 67,not 68
So hyped about the 7a
I have a Pixel 7 and it's a nice phone. My biggest gripe is I have a wallet style protector and the thing won't wake up / sleep when the lid is opened or closed. Apparently the phone might have a hall sensor to implement this, but if it does, it doesn't work.
Got my pixel 6 for USD 280 a month ago and it is a great phone. The only thing I miss is a bigger battery.
