I have a 7A myself. None of the differences mentioned here would entice me to choose one over the other. So, I choose to save whatever money I can with a 7A. About a month into ownership. No regrets.
With 3 hours of screen time it went from 100% to 50% from 8:00 to midnight. That's light usage I guess. I don't use phones that much so it's definitely enough for me.
@@painiswarm Yeah, it really depends on the charger you're using. Better the output voltage/amperage the faster the charge. The factory charger is going to be optimal spec. That being said - at home I connect all my devices to a J5Create 5 port USB charging hub. 5 volts, 8 amps total (2.4amp per port). Full charge is probably around 1.5 hours give or take.
Google not been listening though, just doing what every other phone manufacturer does, make fat phones that are not practical. I love my Pixel 5, its tiny, light and has great battery, and doesn't bulge in my shorts or weigh them down at only 144g. I contemplated upgrading, but I don't want, and never will want, a phone that weighs more than 150g, let alone over 190g. All 3 Pixel 7s are obese chunkers. Its getting harder to find small, light phones, instead we are being fed small light laptops that make phone calls.
Well, Google is catering to what people want, and most people want big phones now. If you watch video, and do computer like tasks on your phone, bigger is better. I had a Nexus 4, with a 4 inch screen. Loved it. When I got my first 6+ inch phone I found it too big, but eventually found the size much better overall because now I write with my phone using a keyboard, browse the web, watch videos, read books (I have an ereader too, but it's also a monster 8 inch so I don't always carry it).
Thanks for reinforcing my decision to buy the 7. The " a" versions are meant to be a much smaller size version like in the earlier versions of the phones, so why this version is so similar is a question Google should be asking
@6:27 Strange conclusion. Claiming the phones are so similar, but still picking the Pixel 7 for $ 150 more? For $50 i can understand that, but $150 seems too big of a difference to me.
I still cant blve at this price point pixel 7 and 7a supports just below 20W charging whereas devices like oneplus, oppo, Mi provided super fast chargers upto 70w
I notice that you compare the still photos with the pixel 7 on the left but you compare the video with the pixel 7 on the right. Are they labelled correctly or is this a mistake? For me the still photos on the right (labelled pixel 7a) look more detailed than th one on the left. This seems to contradict your opinion that the pixel 7 is better?
Don't use 5G as its POINTLESS, turn off WiFi and BT constant background scanning and the constant "identify this song" and you'll get 7H of SOT if not more easily. On my 7a I never get less than 6H with 0 compromises
@@AdmrlSpeedy Bezel is preference, video as well, the "slower" charging is a non-issue. All in all none of the three would EVER warrant a 150 coin uplift on a 450 coin phone. That's a 3rd of the 7a's price. Plus you get 9 months less software support on the 7. So either you're really bad a math or you never even learned it. However, street prices are pretty much equal so in this case it's much better to pick the 7, but not for a 150 coin difference.
Weight - Pixel 7a is 0.14 oz (4 g) lighter. But a smaller display (6.1" vs 6.3") is a big tradeoff. Could you please create a video comparing the lightest phones with big screens? For example, Pixel 7a vs. iPhone 14.
Just caught the pixel 7 on sale for $350, i think i made the right choice out of the two. (I could only get it because of the sale, i can't afford a newer or better rn)
5:26 probably if Google would allow it to charge faster, then smartphone will heat up to a dangerous temperature. I had a smartphone powered by MediaTek G90T, with 18W charger it warmed up to 40C, while using same charger with SD 730G powered smartphone it reached only 30C, chipset probably matters when it comes to charging.
@@vvll9617 what also very important is voltage pulses, most chargers by big brands like Samsung, Apple, Sony, Huawei etc do not exceed dangerous values (with some exceptions, I've seen tests of 65W Realme charger and it wasn't good) Never charge your smartphone with some cheap or poorly made chargers, in the worst case scenario it can even kill your smartphone. Unfortunately, most charger tests i see on YT only show how much they match the voltage of the declared characteristics and that's it.
I hate how companies release products with incremental changes..they do this on purpose of course. It's irritating..and sometimes newer phones have better specs in most aspects with an exception of a few things like battery or resolution of camera. What gives? It's almost as if tech companies are run by either complete dolts, or deceptive people who just want to make a buck off of people nitpicking small differences. It makes our jobs harder as consumers.. Computer & cell phones manufacturers are especially infamous for this kind of practice, to hell with them!
I remember someone speaking about the Pixel 6 cropping feature for the camera. You didn't mention if 7 would have a cropping feature for the camera. Does it or no? Just curious.
7a has 13 mp selfie vs 12 mp on 7. Also 64 mp on 7a vs 50 mp on 7. But 7 has better aperture than 7a. Mp isn't only thing that makes a camera good. Sensors on 7 is superior to 7a. But due to higher mp on 7a it balances out. 7a is better on selfie mode but 7 is better on quality in wide angle and rear view captures due to superior sensors.
the only thing that gets me about the 7a is the lack of the gorilla glass 5/6... even cheap phones from samsung have gorilla glass 5... but the fact that is cheaper and the performance is the same...
In my country the cost is the same for 7 and 7a (17/3/2024) :D thinking where to take the 7 - or maybe something else What you said about heat and battery life with a bit harder tasks a bit bothers me
I cannot believe that you only get 4 hours sot on p7a. I have p7pro and I got 10 to 12 hours sot. Since p7a has smaller display with only 90 refresh rate, I expect the same sot as my p7pro
4 hrs SOT is as. You sure? Most SOT test on utube show at least 6 hrs. To get better battery turn of AOD, location, and turn on battery management if available. I got 3 days or more from battery saver mode where android one ui limit ALL use except for certain apps that I choose to run. Also my data is off at home and wifi only. Only use 5g when you have no wifi.
Google Pixel 7a camera is better than 7. May be google released 7a just for camera lovers. I agree video quality not good for 7a. but for pictures 7a is far better
@ph0bia970 Oh for sure return the 7a and get the 7 instead if they'll allow the exchange. So much more worth it if the price is the same. The 7 excels with better features than the 7a.
I don't know what to do. I got the 7a and then the 7 went on sale for 50 more. At this point I feel like I should just get the 6a for 300 but I had that phone and I had signal problems... nobody reviewing the 6a said a word about that, probably because they got the phone for review for free 🤷♂️ but yeah this is my delenma
The 7a got a 64 mp camera so dont be saying it has a bad camera plus if u dont know how to make a video just go buy a iphone 13 but if if u want photos then take the 7a
If you have any issues with your usb port and out of warranty your phone is unrepairable. I have a pixel six and love it. The port is bad and i can only wireless charge. The port is attached to the motherboard and Google won't sell them . I'm semi disabled and have very limited income. I'm basically screwed. The pixel 7 is built the same way. Again love using the phone however it's a very poor design. I understand phone can break, at least make them repairable. A vast amount of other phones have a charging port that is on its own board and therefore repairable. Google won't sell me another motherboard so now I'm doing my best to warn others about this pathetic design.
Pixel 7 is 400 at the moment on Amazon the pixel 7a is 399 lol Google has its 25th anniversary event on right now so if you want the 7a in its Google exclusive coral ( orange ) colour it's 50 off so 399
I need a new phone asap and the 7a ticks all of the boxes BUT, only having 128gb is a dealbreaker for me as I keep phones for years, as long as they work. So now I'm thinking 7, but the prices of P8's are now dropping here in the UK 🤔🤷♂️
Pixel 7a vs pixel6pro....which should i choose or better? N why?...can u help me? Btw my consideration of choosing phone.. 1st.camera 2.battery life 3.screen 4.chipset
almost no difference and you prefer the 600$ over the 450$ ? kinda much for this upgrade unless you have the money or care about the key difference. still very helpful! thanks
At $450, I'd go for a Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro, a Xiaomi 13T, or even a OnePlus 3! Google should up it's ante! 4 hours screen time is good? It's laughable! 18watss is fast? Pathetic 😂
I'm still using OnePlus phone since 2019. I never used Google Pixel. My Oneplus 7T pro McLaren Edition is the Google pixel 7 pro killer. It could be pixel 8 pro killer. I will keep my 7T pro McLaren Edition forever. I bought 7T pro McLaren Edition in 12/21/21. I also have OnePlus 8T+ which I'm thinking to trade in for Google pixel 7 or 7A. If i trade in then i have to use for 2 years & i can't continue using 7T pro McLaren Edition. I will use 7T pro McLaren Edition at home. I will use pixel 7 or 7A outside. Maybe i will wait to trade in my Oneplus 8t+ for pixel 8. OnePlus got letter T & Google pixel got letter A OnePlus 8 vs Google pixel 7 OnePlus 8 pro vs Google pixel 7 pro OnePlus 8T vs Google pixel 7A
