The Google Pixel 7a is an impressive smartphone for the price. There are some things I absolutely love about it — plus a few things I can't stand.
Google’s new Pixel 7a might be $150 more than its predecessor, but it packs plenty of upgrades for that price. The Pixel 7a has a better camera sensor compared to the Pixel 6a, a 90Hz refresh rate, and the Tensor G2.
Related I like the in-hand feel of the new Google smartphone. It is easy to use, and the cured sides mean I’m not struggling to hold it for long durations. The Pixel 7a also has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance — meaning you don’t have to sacrifice durability just because of the compact footprint.
Now Playing feels like magic This might seem like a minor feature, but I’ve loved it since my Pixel 3 days. No other smartphone lets me see what song is being played in the café I’m at without me consciously putting in the effort to search for it. This is made possible on the Pixel 7a thanks to the excellent Now Playing feature.
I can now personalize it to my liking even more. While other Android skins have implemented the Material You design, none of them offer the slick look and feel of the Material You running on a Pixel. That’s not the only downside of Tensor G2. The Pixel 7a gets a bit warm when I’m clicking a lot of photos or pushing the processor to its limits by gaming. It has an effect on the battery life as well. The Pixel 7a won’t last you a day if you are a heavy user. Plus, it doesn’t feature over-the-top fast charging to let you go from 0-100% within 45 minutes. The 18-watt charging is dated and absolutely shouldn’t be marketed as “fast charging.
