I love my Pixel 7a, but lots of people are saying that the regular 7 is better for only $100 more or less (depending on the sale). However, I do like my pixel 7a more because it has a wider angle camera, longer software support, slightly bigger battery (even though the 7 has faster charging), slightly more durable with plastic instead of glass back, and I saved the $100 to buy accessories like a good case and screen protector. Not to mention no reliability problems ( I heard the regular pixel 7 buttons has been falling off in some reports & randomly cracked camera lens)
I've had both had the 7 in November but took it back because of fingerprint scanner didn't work and kept over heating just got the 7a and so far it's been 😃 ,also have a iPhone 14 pro max but the pixels camera is so much better
The 7 might be technically better but the 7a is a little smaller, lighter, has less camera bump and that will be the sole reason some people (myself included) choose to buy it over the 7.
Just got my 7a this week and pretty happy so far. It replaced my Galaxy S10e which still feels a bit more "flagshipy" but obviously isn't as powerful on the inside. Activating the Smooth Display mode (90 Hz) definitely makes a difference...
Google will ditch the Samsung chip in 2025 - two models away. So my 7a is good for now and next update in 2 or 3 years will be a better chip. Still, that's a picky point and it's generally fine for now.
Google should make their own CPU their own screen and not rely on samsung. If you're really use someone else's hardware, you might as well use the best.
Great review Kyle My parents got me the Google Pixel 7a for a early Christmas present. I absolutely love my new phone my last phone was a motorala but I had volume issues with that phone not with my Google Pixel 7a it has a great camera for photos & videos... I don't get the hate for the battery life I think it's great I like that it has wireless charging for the price... I like how smooth the phone is threw the internet and the apps I have installed... It's a great phone. I have no issues with my Google Pixel 7a it is awesome... 10/10
Great review buddy. Love my Pixel 7a. I actually prefer a smaller phone too. 6.1" is great, a touch smaller would be better. I don't like all these phones that are like bricks. I've come from a 6.7" phone, way too big IMO. Sound, camera, features, ergonomics are all fantastic. Also I have zero issues with the fingerprint sensor, which was a criticism in some reviews. Some even said they couldn't get it to work.
Is there a rainbow banding on white backgrounds - the pink and green lines that manifest at an angle? The original Pixel 7 had a terrible issue with this.
I came from a Nokia 8.3 with a huge monitor - Was about to try the Iphone SE cause of the smaller screen ive been searching for so long, luckily this phone existed! The 6.1 screen is perfect, I can use the phone onehanded.
As per GSM Arena and others the Pixel 7a has been universally panned for having poor battery life. I don't game, stream, vlog, etc. But after receiving the Android 14 and perhaps doing some battery saving tips can you confidently still say the battery life would last well up to 12 midnight or beyond ? (Thinking of getting either thile 7a or the older 6a with a bigger battery capacity)
Weird other TH-camr r saying outdoor viability is bad in direct sunlight. What about heating issues and sim 4g 5g internet and calling connectivity issues?
I'm seeing more and more people using pixels in the wild. Either people are using an iPhone or they're using a Pixel it seems , got me thinking maybe I should try one. I know I'm certainly not putting out 7 8 900 dollars on a Samsung when I don't need all the extra stuff Im not going to use.
I bought the Pixel 7 and didn't like the fingerprint reader, traded it in for the 7a hoping as it was newer, the fingerprint reader would be better.. But no.. Just the same, it's just so hit and miss.. Bought a Cubot X70, fingerprint reader works great, half the price, more memory.. Never buy a Pixel Phone again 😢
Why do people give almost infomercial grade ad reads? I am legit shocked that you would give someone more than 30 seconds unless they’re giving you a dump truck of money. You do a great job but yeeesh that’s a lot of copy
You can just skip it if you don't want to watch a sponsored segment - that's what the chapters are for. This is how I'm able to keep the channel going and make a living
The calls are very low volume. I have the 7 pro and it works well. This 7a I can not hear the other person. Also you can not do power share. But its a nice little phone. Its ok as secondary
great review! few things i want to add to it is i agree on buttons on side, also some car mounts that clamp on the side, will hold in ur volum down button, and i sorta feel like i need a car charger as battery is at times abit too small, but wireless charging helps alot on that! overall im really happy with the phone i got for that price!

true! I actually know someone who took the 7 out of the package and buttons fell off.

Is the screen bright enough for a sunny day ?
@@mundopixel23 I think it is, but it gets too hot easily. When it does the charging is slow or does not charge.

Google should ditch the tensor G2 processor and put a Snapdragon processor in then maybe I think about buying it
I agree. The 8 Gen 2 has proven to be amazing this year.

@@webdaddy that's great if it's true then I will buy one myself
I'm not a company fanboy. I'll buy the best phone for me usage, needs and preference in relation to mu budget.

I really love the pixel 7a .... using it since last week..... it's amazing 😍
Thanks for the review. I've always liked the look of the Pixel 7 phones, particularly that band across the back.
Thanks for watching!
GREAT VIDEO..have been rollin' by 7a Coral past 3 weeks and Love ❤ it....what an awesome device...😊💪👊💯
I love mine so far and appreciate your review!

What's the name of the wallpaper you were using at 0:59?
Is the heating issue resolved in pixel 7a June update?

What about battery life?
Really appreciate for the video and found something worth to watch. Waiting for a deal to have one for me.
Excellent review 👊🏿
I slapped a Spigen cover on it and it's the best feel ever.
Is there a rainbow banding on white backgrounds - the pink and green lines that manifest at an angle? The original Pixel 7 had a terrible issue with this.
I don't see anything like that on my Pixel 7a.
There is on mine (which I bought earlier this week).
I came from a Nokia 8.3 with a huge monitor - Was about to try the Iphone SE cause of the smaller screen ive been searching for so long, luckily this phone existed! The 6.1 screen is perfect, I can use the phone onehanded.
Where are you getting this type of wallpapers
I make them.
From where can i download your wallpapers
Plz make it for me
Are those wallpaper free?
Great review Kyle. If I wasn’t so into the Apple ecosystem I would defo give this a look
Love my Pixel 7a, came to it from a 10R. feels much better in my hand. The camera is amazing, video is not as good but is barely record videos.
Please up the video quality to 4K60fps!
60 frames aren't appropriate for such content
i am left handed so the button placement on the side is not a problem for me but great video
I got my Pixel a for $72. Nothing beats that haha

Decent review but some things are just nitpicking
Loving my 7a, moved from IPhone of many years and have zero regrets!
Hows the battery life, charging speed and is there heating issues? Interested to get some feedback from an ordinary user. Thanks in advance!
Charging take around 1hr 45minutes
While backup is not that great
@@Uncle_Drew0227the battery life is terrible yet the charging speed is super slooowwww😂
How did u get 8 hours of sot? 😮
where can I get your wallpaper, it looks cool 😮
Weird other TH-camr r saying outdoor viability is bad in direct sunlight. What about heating issues and sim 4g 5g internet and calling connectivity issues?
It’s bad forme. maybe experiment with adaptive lighting option.
Holy shit I’ve never seen a 3 min ad before lmao
sick ad though, right? you can always skip if you don't wanna watch, that's what the chapters are for. I gotta eat 🍽️
@@KyleErickson I guess

Wallpaper?
Oh and yes its gets hot 🔥
Mine doesn't
Neither does mine.
does it have touch shutter?
Pixel 6pro is better or the pixel 7a?
Which is better?
6 pro
Excellent.
Woah!! Are u related to Linus? 😅
My galaxy note 3 has gone for 10 years , its going to have its 11th birthday soon , no sit down pixel . PS , the battery sucks .
@Kyle - where can we get those "Wallpapers", which you have used ??
Only if it has snapdragon processor
Coming from OnePlus, I really hate 7a slooow charging.
Watching this on the Pixel 7a.
Main trade off? It charges SLOWLY.
Super slow😂
But whu does it have to be fast. Can't we just appreciate the ability to recharge it at all
@@EddyTheBarbarian im not sure about u but for me in 2023 with that super slow charging and super low battery life that doesnt make any good..
I bought the Pixel 7 and didn't like the fingerprint reader, traded it in for the 7a hoping as it was newer, the fingerprint reader would be better.. But no.. Just the same, it's just so hit and miss.. Bought a Cubot X70, fingerprint reader works great, half the price, more memory.. Never buy a Pixel Phone again 😢
Just use the voice to text instead of typing lol thts a major perk of having a pixel
Pixel want to be its own company and be secure 🔐 and be built good to that's why it has the gen 2 chip not a Snapdragon

Hearing reports of the glass shatter issue on the 7a.
Try grapheneos
What a quality review!
Thank you!
@@KyleErickson Hi how much screen on time are you getting on this phone? and does last for the whole day?
The calls are very low volume. I have the 7 pro and it works well. This 7a I can not hear the other person. Also you can not do power share.
But its a nice little phone. Its ok as secondary
Comfortable. Display poor outdoors.
don't buy soundcore products they are garbage. Breaks in 3 months
